Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 64
“Row, I missed you so much, how did it go?” Gracie lugged Rowena tightly and spoke. She could not explain to Rowena how she got worried when the message dropped about the attack. Gracie had had her own share of pack duties when the Alpha was away.
It was tedious for both her and Charles since he had to combine the responsibilities of the Alpha and beta together. Gracie helped at the hospital when needed but most times, she was working as Charles secretary in place of Clara. Charles banned Clara from ever coming close to him, be it at the office, pack house of even training, for which reason Gracie had to give him all the needed support.
Rowena returned the hug and responded, “It was great before the attack but the after math was even better.” She missed Gracie all through when healing those patients. Anytime Rowena worked together with Gracie, she would only focus on the healing side whiles Gracie helped with the patients’ movements.
It made things faster but now, both of them could never leave the pack together, unless they got a trusted Gam ma to replace Clara’s father. The gam ma could watch the pack when the Alpha and beta were away together.
“I’m glad to hear that and to know that we have more allies than enemies, Gracie said. Another reason why she was missing Rowena so much was when Charles told her that he had a surprise for her but could only show her after Jaxon and Rowena returned.
“Yes, me too,” Rowena said, hugging Gracie again when she saw her mother and Alpha Clinton approach. She decided to acknowledge the old Alpha first.
“Alpha Clinton!”
“Rowena, I’m glad to have you back,” Alpha Clinton spread his arms and Rowena quickly filled in. She could feel the warmth of a father when he hugged her like that.
Rowena said as soon as Alpha Clinton released her. She was even more excited anytime she saw her mother so happy and could not attest to whether it was because of their life at the packhouse or if the was more. The woman kept glowing every day.
“I am happy that everything went well and everybody there are fit once again,” Alice hugged her daughter and spoke. Since Rowena left, she always pretended that everything was fine when in actual fact, it wasn’t. Alice had not recovered completely from their years separation and always feared losing Rowena again somehow.

“I made your favorite so let’s go and eat,” Alice announced joyfully. As soon as she heard that Jaxon and Rowena were on their way, she got busy in the kitchen preparing their favorite meals. As soon as it was announced that they had reached the park gate, everyone went out to meet them.
“Thank you, mom. Rowena said with gratitude. She wanted to call Jaxon, knowing he was equally hungry but since he was having a serious conversation with Charles, she left with Gracie, her mom and the old Alpha
“I have sent the warriors to bring Clara but what did she do this time? Charles asked seriously. Jaxon narrated everything to Charles who was very furious. Upon all the regrets he had in his life, Clara was the biggest of them all.
“So, what would have happened if you had not been there?” Charles asked angrily. He wanted to slice Clara himself and give her body parts to the vultures.
“There was no way I was going to leave her alone after being without her for eight years,” Jason categorically responded. He was glad to have followed his instincts and responded the moment. Rowena’s mindlink went through if not, thing would have been worse, especially if Alpha Bones had taken Rowena to his pack.
Charles might have regretted meeting Clara but he had no regrets giving the Alpha title to Jaxon. He did the work much better than Charles ever did and Charles had to admit that he kept learning a thing or two from Jaxon every day.
“You are a wonderful Alpha but why was I the last person to see Clara for who she was?” Charles asked bitterly, blaming himself for all the havoc Clara was causing. When he was supposed to correct her, he kept dotting on her until she grew from bad to worse.
“Because they say that Love is very blind. As for you, you were double blinded,” Jaxon taunted him a little.
The brothers laughed before Charles said, “Tin thinking of exploring that water fall toniglu.” Ever since he saw the place, be kept dream of taking Gracie there but there was no time. Jaxon was back now so he needn’t have to worry about anything. He could go and have all the fun he wanted.
“Just get me Clara and you can do whatever you want,” Jaxon requested. He was too tired to go and search for the bitc h but he also did not want the other Alphas to get her before he does. She was a member of his pack for which reason he deserved to have the last laughs
Talking about revenge on Clara, Charles thought that the waterfalls could wait. “Naaah, I don’t want to miss out on the fin. I will postpone it to tomorrow.”
Whiles they were talking, one of the warriors interrupted, “Beta Charles, Clara is not in the pack.”
Chapter 64
Both Charles and Jaxon froze instantly. Clara was not allowed to leave the pack so where could she have gone. Jaxón remembered when both Alphas said Clara had sneaked out of the pack to come and see them. Was she going to cause another trouble with another pack!
“Where did she go and where are her parente Charles asked seriously, not believing that Rowena could just disappear from the pack like that. He could not allow it and was determined to find her.
“I think they have eloped because they left with all their necessities, the warrior explained, Jaxon was not taking it. He was not going to accept this.
“Can you tell how long it’s been since they left?” Jaxon asked seriously. If Clara thought she could escape freely with her crimes, then she was wrong because Jaxon was not an easy target. He was not so kind to the hard-hearted bitc hes like her.
“The security at the gate saw them driving out five minutes before you got back,” the warrior elaborated. Jaxon’s mind was already going wild on how to find her.
“Fuck. I will not let her escape.” he exclaimed and ran towards his car.
“I’m coming too,” Charles said and run after him. Jaxon was already moving the car before he remembered they were supposed to have dinner together and said to one of the warriors,
