LEO'S POV"You look perfect! " My mother's voice startled me as she walked into my chamber. She was clad in a Burgundy dress that hid her feet; her dress was adorned with glittering precious diamonds and a silver piece of jewellery circled her lean long neck and she wore long earrings that dropped to her shoulders. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun. The sparkling jewellery accentuated her iris. She looked all dolled up with make-up on.As she came close to adjust my Emerald shirt, a whiff of her expensive perfume teased my nostrils. "Mother, you look...stunning," I said carefully as I allowed my eyes to zero in on her unusual appearance. To be frank, I have never seen her like this before. It made me wonder what this occasion was really all about. The effort it took her to come up with this event was short-timed and it turned out amazing. I was sure by now, that a lot of guests were already here and some may have arrived. And my half-brother, Xavier. I wondered if he wo

LEO'S POVI gawked at Alicia as if I had seen a ghost because did I just hear her say Xavier was already in attendance?! "Your brother is also here, Xavier and you wouldn't believe who I saw him with. " She announced with widened eyes. Her words seeped into the recess of my brain and the thought that I was about to come face to face with my half-brother, Xavier, made my spine bristle with anger.I already promised my mother that I wasn't going to make a fuss but now that Xavier would be there....I wasn't quite sure how that would turn out. "Who is with Xavier that makes you look shocked like that, Alicia? " My mother asked, arching her brows at Alicia. Who could it be anyway? I wasn't expecting anyone with Xavier aside from Crystal, who he has now claimed as his mate. And besides, Uncle Ivan didn't fancy such functions. "It's Crystal Thorne, isn't it? " I said, brushing her off but she shook her head frantically. "What do you mean Crystal is not with Xavier? Then who? "

LEO'S POV"You might want to close your mouth now, Leo. I can't stand your breath." He sniped at me, causing my spine to bristle in sheer anger. The nerve of him to say that! How dare he! It was probably because he knew that his uncle was around that was why he was acting all pompous. So much confidence for someone who had not yet claimed the throne. "Fancy meeting you here, Xavier. I thought you were not going to make it." I said curtly, shooting him a fake smile. My jaw tightened as I resisted the urge to make a scene in front of anyone. But I had to refrain myself from making a complete fool of myself. I balled my hands at my side into a tight fist. He was alone, standing at the corner of the party where there were few guests present. And the two-piece clothes he wore, were screaming luxury. It was stunning with its glittering pearls adorning his shirt and at once envy churned in my stomach. As much as I hated to admit it, he looked incredibly amazing wearing that

CRYSTAL'S POVMy heart pounded in my chest at an alarming rate of excitement as I read the note again. It read:"Crystal, if you can, let's see underneath our favourite tree tonight."I was already dressed earlier and was waiting for the appointed time we would meet.Once it was 9 pm I quickly sneaked out of the inner chambers and on tip-toes, I walked down the shadowy hallway. Thanks to the function happening at the palace today, there were fewer guards and maids around here so it was easier to sneak out. Perfect timing! I couldn't be happier! Once I successfully escaped the inner chamber and hallways, I was deeply relieved as the outside air tingled my nostrils. It was giving a prison break escapades. I could feel the rush in my lungs as excitement seized me. I was really looking forward to seeing Emily again! I hope she was not assigned to serve at the function though. I'm sure she must have been aware beforehand about the function and if she were posted to serve at the

CRYSTAL'S POV"... Do you love him? " Her words seeped through my brain. Love is a very strong word and I wasn't sure if it was okay to say I love Xavier yet. It was too soon and I didn't know how to properly interpret the feelings I was having for him. For all I know it could be a mixed signal and I was only feeling a Stockholm syndrome towards someone who was blackmailing me to get his hands on the throne. But he didn't particularly give off the impression that he liked me. It was more of; "You're my mate and I'm responsible for your well fare" sort of thing. It wasn't love.... My heart sank at the realization that maybe Xavier didn't even like me or care for me as I thought he did. I mean, I understood the fact that it may be a little too soon for him to make professions of love to me, a mere omega and a former slave but if he truly liked me it would have been obvious. When he touched me, I thought I had gone insane. It was breathtaking and I didn't want him to stop. My wh

XAVIER'S POVI stifled a laugh as he disappeared from my presence with his head cowered in shame. The jerk I called my half-brother ran away with his tail between his legs and I couldn't be happier! He was so full of himself a minute ago but I was sure as hell that he was merely putting up a front. He wasn't capable of thinking for himself, always leaving things for his mother to deal with on his behalf like he used to. I derived great joy from torturing him and making him feel less confident of whatever plans they had brewing. Although I couldn't tell yet, I wasn't about to be taken by surprise. As long as I had my uncle Ivan by my side, I would always be one step ahead. I trusted my Uncle that much. He wouldn't let me down. I hoped... Now back to the present, there were a lot of things to get done and time was very crucial. I had to look for Uncle Ivan; he said he would be back but he was nowhere in sight. He said he would be back shortly and yet I couldn't see him. My e

XAVIER'S POVDamn it! "Am I interrupting something?"Why did he have to be here now? I recognized that voice even in my sleep and anytime I heard it, my nerves grated with contempt. I cocked my head slowly and my eyes widened to see that it was not only Leo that was present. I quickly released my grasp on Alicia and she wrenched her hands away and fled from me like a plague as she scurried towards the side of Leo. Leo and his mother, Luna Rachael were present and that wasn't all... My gaze glided to meet the other person standing in their midst. I swallowed a lump down my throat. It was my Uncle. The elder Ivan Hawkings stood with his hands entwined at his back like he always does and his eyebrows were arched. Was he disappointed to see me with our enemy in a seemingly intimate way? I was just trying to ascertain which team she was on, that's all. It wasn't like I was giving our plans away or anything. I would never betray my uncle no matter what even if I had a knife brand
REJECTED BY THE ALPHA CHAPTER 37
XAVIER'S POVAs all returned to the function, the guests veered around and began to cheer us as we made our way to the high table prepared for members of the royal family. We took our respective seats but Luna Rachael remained standing as she was about to address the eager crowd. The cheering quietened down and she took the mic positioned in front of her. My heart thudded slowly against my chest. What did she have to say? What were they planning anyway? We had the foggiest ideas and we were sitting down like one big happy family and faking a smile on our faces. I tilted my head to look at my Uncle but his eyes were fixed on Luna Rachael intensely. I swallowed. He should be on the edge as I was. Well, my Uncle knew what he was doing anyway so there was no need for me to fret every now and then but I couldn't help myself. I tried to rein in my jumbled thoughts under control as I heaved out a deep sigh and shifted in my chair. C'mon Xavier! Get a grip! What worse could she sa
