Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 78.

Nelly’s POV.

I sat there, dumbfounded. Not by what Aisha had asked me, but by my reaction. Why was I so jealous at the thought of Kex mate visiting her? I had no claim on him, no right to feel possessive. And yet, the thought of being with Astel, was what I have always wanted. I was so confused, and my head was spinning.

“Nelly!” Aisha called out, her voice laced with concern.

“I don’t know,” I muttered, my shoulders sagging. I felt so lost, so unsure of myself.

She took my hands in hers and looked at me with a serious expression on her face..

“You need to choose,” she said.

I shook

my head. “Kex already has a mate. There’s no need to decide,” I replied. She rolled her eyes.

“Nelly, you know that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking who you want to be with. Who do you love?” I looked down, unable to meet her gaze.

As I sat there, my eyes locked on the bed, I felt a wave of relief when it opened. Finally, I could escape this difficult conversation. But as I looked up, my eyes widened in surprise.

There, standing in the doorway, was Kex, holding a cake, and Harry, leading a group maids carrying balloons and a sign that said, “Welcome Back, Nelly!” I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe.

I was caught between joy and confusion. My head was spinning, and I wasn’t sure what to do.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I tried to hold them back, but it was no use. My hands trembled as I pressed them to my mouth. How could I not be jealous of Kex’s mate?

He was the only man who had ever treated me with kindness and respect. I blinked back the tears, but they kept coming. Finally, I met his gaze, and what I saw there took my breath away. In his eyes, I saw love and compassion, understanding and acceptance. It was almost too much to bear.

I opened my arms to him, and he set the cake down on the table before embracing me. I buried my face in his chest, his familiar scent washing over me like a warm wave.
