Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 46
“Mom, where are you going?”
Clara asked the woman who was busy shoving clothes into traveling bags. She intended to put them in the trunk of their car before her husband returns. The man would just be too depressed so the only way to give him hope would be to sell the plan for them to secretly leave the pack
“Not me alone. I am packing for all of us. We shall secretly run away as soon as your father gets back,” her mother said, whiles shoving the clothes faster than before. Shame? This was worse than the rest. She could not take it and neither could she accept it. Whereas Clara was displeased. For all the embarrassment Charles caused her in front of his family with every one looking on mockingly, she was not going to forgive him like that.
Also, the bit ch Rowena should have died. If Jason had not heard about their plan to set Rowena’s house on fire before, she would have been dead now. Death was what she deserved and it was the only way for Clara to gain back her dignity.
“No mom, we aren’t cowards, Clara wiped her face again and surprisingly, no more tears fell to replace them this time. She looked into space and spoke like a lifeless creature. Her mother shook her head. Never again was she going to trust her daughter or fall for her skins. This was the last of the trust she had for her and it was all over.
“You might me ready to take the shame but not me. I won’t sit here and watch people laugh at me. I can’t take it. Your father suggested it before and I refused. Now, I will pack the things down, get them into the car and we move at night. Go and get your stuff, she ordered seriously but Clara refused adamantly.
Where would they go? She was not ready to join the rogues and live their barbaric life. Then again, she could live among humans but where would she start from? All her education had been in this pack and she did not have any relatives among humans who would help her through medical school like Rowena.
Her fated mate was also an omega so she had no regret rejecting him and she did not want anything to do with him as well. This was her home and she had to protect it. The only person who did not belong here was the lowlife omega Rowena and her stu pid best friend Gracie. They had to go back to wherever they came from.
“Mom, I’m not leaving,” she said adamantly.
Her mother saw her determination and knew that she would not change her mind but neither was she ready to plan anything else with Clara. “Then you’ll stay here alone,” she said impassively. Her only concern was how to announce this heartbreaking news to her husband after he returned from the punishment.
Clara had a good plan but neither could she effect it alone. She trusted her parents more than her friends and needed their help in this situation. Thus, she could not go with them and neither could she agree to be left behind all alone.
“Mom, I just thought about something.”
“Enough with your thoughts. They are useless to us now,” her mother responded with disinterest. The earlier they escaped the shame, the better for all of them. However, Clara was determined to win her trust again and to make her stay.
“Mom, Rowena has special healing abilities, she revealed, hoping that her mother would take interest in it but to her amazement, the woman seemed unperturbed and she knew she lost her mother’s trust forever. But was it enough to make her give up just like that? Clara did not think so.
“Is that supposed to make it any better?” Her mother asked non-challantly.

“Yes, because I can tell our enemy pack. With all the wars going on and around, they would need a healer,” Clara revealed. The only reason why they have enjoyed some peace so far was the fact that, everyone feared Jason from how he led the pack during previous wars and slayed. They could not win against him for which reason the weaker packs were attacked.
“You think that Jaxon would allow her to go? And even if he does, what’s in it for you?” Her mother asked sarcastically but Clara smiled. At least she got her mother’s attention and that was all that mattered to her at the moment.
“No. They can make a request for her and kidnap her in their pack when she gets there. Once Rowena is eliminated, the curse would be broken and any one could become Luna again. Who else would be fit for the position of Luna in this pack but me And Charles would pay for all he did not me,” Clara said with a sinister smile. Her mother stopped packing and gave Clara her full attention. She asked seriously,
“How do you intend to get all this done?”
Clara maintained her sinister smile and spoke in a cold tone, “Since the st upid warrior gave me the day off. I have to make the best of it
“How Her mother asked, even more confused than the first time. Clara knew she had already won the woman over and therefore, things were going to be okay between her and her father again. She was going to give back to him the respect he
deserved
“I’m going to the Star park now. I will come back by night and go about my duties in the morning Alpha Baron would be happy to have me since he does not know about Gracie yet. Il I don’t do it now before the announcement is made about the new Luna and the Beta’s mate, I will lose all the power to get this dour,” she explained to her mother.
For the first time, the woman was afraid of the path her daughter was treating. If things go south, their lives would not be

enough to compensate for it and they would all be killed. Better live and fight tomorrow than to fight now and lose their lives.
“Clara, be very careful, she cautioned seriously but Clara smiled with a new determination and responded,
“I’m sure about this one. We are winners this time.”
Her mother did not stop her when she went for her father’s car keys and drove out of the house. It was two hours’ drive to the star back so her daughter should be back in approximately five hours, that is, considering the length and duration of the meeting she was going to have with Alpha Baron of the Star pack.
At the gate of the Star pack, no one recognized Clara until she wined down since it was her first time driving her father’s car away from the pack. She was usually accompanied by Charles everywhere so a lot of people knew her as the Beta’s girlfriend.
“Miss Clara,” the security at the gate expressed.
“I came to see Alpha Baron,” Clara smiled said. Her puff eyes had been covered with a good makeup on her way here so they did not see anything wrong with her, except for how casually she was dressed.
Clara observed the rolling of eyes and knew they were trying to mindlink their Alpha or Beta. It took a while before the security man at the gate said,
“You can go in but I hope you are here for peace and not trouble?”
“I only travel for peace,” Clara smiled calmly and responded.
Reaching the packhouse, Clara was met by Alpha Baron himself. He had just stepped out of the pack house to meet her at the car park. He was tall and strong but also shirtless. She also noticed a group of girls, skimpily dressed, walking the other way and knew that Alpha Baron had still not found his mate. He was deriving pleasure from the prostitutes and must have stopped mid-way when her presence was announced.
The Alpha looked annoyed, no doubt “Alpha Baron, Clara stepped out of the car and greeted.
“What brings you here! Miss Clara? I hope that Charles would not come after us.” The Star and Snow Mountain pack were not good friends since Charles lud refused an alliance with them in times past. When Jaxon became the Alpha, Baron was too proud to propose it again after being rejected the first time since Alpha Clinton was sick by then.
“No, I came with good news. I heard that most of your warriors are injured and I have a solution for you,” Clara leaned against the car and spoke. Baron looked around and was happy that the girls from last night had all left and there was no one in view. He also did not want to invite Clara in since he could not trust her.
“Who told you?” That information was secret because if news about your warriors being injured traveled, it made the pack vulnerable to rogues.
