The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 42- I'd felt strong in his arms
The wounds on my body are partially healed on the surface due to the blue gel the healers used on me last night. Yes my injuries look healed on the outside but on the inside they are just as fresh. The door to my cell is pushed open as a gentle voice interrupts my thoughts. "Miss Aura, please follow me."Without struggling, I allow the maid with a scar under her chin escort me, flanked by two guards. Their bruising grip supports my weak, sore limbs. I'm taken through unfamiliar walls. All my stay in Jakpounders Pack, I'd never been to the pack house. My parents had been rightfully scared to let me even catch a glimpse. If I could go back in time, I'd save them all the pain they went through for me. I'd run away or probably let myself drown. I'm taken to a bright chamber, soft floors and white walls merched with brown sofas. As we move, I tremble, anxiety coursing through me. The guards slowly let me go and step back to the door. I look around my heart pierces when I notice th
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 43- It's in that moment I spot him
Xzen's POVThe moon is shinning bright, projecting the shadows of five of my pack warriors, pretending to be sneaking past Jakpounders pack. It's Ace plan, one that I have to clench my fists to stick to. Why is it taking so much time?!A flood of relief rushes through me when I spot the silhouette of Jakpounders’ watch guards move in the planned direction. Sticking to my part a bit earlier than planned, I creep through the shadows, my eyes fixed on the Jakpounders' entrance. The guards, completely absorbed in the commotion don't notice me slipping closer.Skillfully darting between trees, I use the nights darkness to conceal myself. For the first time, the light from the moon poses as a threat. My heart is still in my chest. I strongly believe they have her but I'm not with enough backup. I need to be careful so this doesn't go south. I can't risk getting her hurt. And goddess save that bloody Alpha if any harm comes to Aura. Once I see an opening, I seize my chance. I slip insid
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 44- Moved solely by emotions
Xzen's POVAs we approach Blackvine's borders, our pack's healers rush to meet us. Giona, our lead healer, takes one look at Aura's pale face and the blood-soaked shirt wrapped around her waist."Get her to the ward, now!" Giona orders, her voice firm and urgent. The pack healers move, quick and precise trying to rip Aura off my arms but they retreat when an angry growl rumbles deep in my throat. “Back off!” My voice thunders as I continue my race towards the pack's ward. Loud claps of thunder roar in the quickly darkening clouds as Aura's cries grow weaker. Fear grips my heart when her body suddenly goes limp against me. No, no, no. Please Aura, please.I burst into an already prepared room, Dr. Banks and his team run in soon after with worried faces. Gently, I lay Aura on the makeshift bed, her eyes fluttering open.Giona begins examining Aura's wound, her expression grave. I watch, helpless, as they work to save the woman I love.“P…please Alpha we'll need you o…outside. Your ph
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 45- WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?
Xzen's POVI burst into Aura's room. My heart beats with excitement and concern. But I'm met with a scene that makes my blood run cold.Ace is standing beside Aura's bed, her eyes are red-rimmed with tears streaming down her sullen face. My Omega's awake, but her eyes are sunken, her face pale."M..my pup...my pup," Aura sobs, her voice cracking.I slowly approach the bed, instinctively feeling the fire need to comfort her, but surprisingly she turns away, her body language screaming rejection.I glance at Ace, only now recognizing the defeated look on his face. "P...please leave. Please," she begs with a voice barely audible.I freeze in place, my mind trying to process her request…her plea. I glance again at Ace, not wanting to believe I'm the one she's refering to while looking so scared and hurt. What's going on?"What's wrong?" I ask gently, taking a sit while trying to understand.But she shakes her head, her eyes welling up with more tears."Please, Xzen. Just do as she says
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 46- Responsibilities and emotions
Xzen's POV "I can't!" I exclaim, my voice echoing off the large office walls. Aunt Emily remains calm and collected. Her expression is a mask of serenity. She slowly sips from her cup of water while her long lashes flutter over her bored gaze. With a deliberate motion, Aunt Emily sets her glass cup on the desk. The clink of the glass on wood serves as a stark contrast to my explosive outburst. "Relax, Xzen. It's her right," She says, her voice magically measured…unruffled. My anger boils over and although Emily isn't the reason for my fury, I lash out, "What right? To up and leave?!" I still can't wrap my head around her possible reason for wanting to move out of the pack house. Why is Aura doing this? “When did she ask you to grant her the permission to leave?” Aunt Emily asks her gaze a little bit curious. “Earlier today.” I respond, recalling how she'd stepped into my office after sunrise. Joy had easily filled my heart, and I'd blindly rushed to her, eager to hol
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 47- I need to see her
With a drop in my aching shoulders, I step out of the warm pack house, and the silence itself is deafening. No one speaks, not even a whisper. Everyone's eyes follow me, their faces etched with sadness and…guilt. Some gaze down, unable to meet my eyes, while others watch with muted emotions that mirror my own.I feel like I'm walking through a sea of regret, their unspoken words hanging in the air like a challenge. But what's there to be sad about? I'd been the one to make the wrong decision of running away. I'd caused the death of my unborn pup. I'd caused it all and now that I think of it I feel I've mistaken their pitiful stares for guilt. But they have every reason to pity the weak omega. The fool who lost her pup when she tried to find a better route in life. Two guards approach me, their expressions calm. They both offer to help me move my belongings. I nod at them, grateful for their assistance, as I'm still a bit tired. It's been over a week but my body is still recovering.
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 48- Panic claws at my heart
My heart drums in rhythm with my feet pounding against the damp earth, mud coats my bare feet, slipping through my toes just like my breath coming in ragged gasps as the wolves close in around me. Panic claws at my heart when I spare a glance behind me. Their eyes glow like lanterns in the dark, the zeal to kill burning like wild fire in their orbs. I move faster, my soul freezing, blood curdling as my mother's scream pierces the air. I don't see him at first but as I get closer, the trees around me blur and I see my father standing in the direction I'm heading. Blood pours down his eyes and the open slit in his throat. My steps falter as hot tears break free. “P…Pa!” I scream. He gazes at me with accusing eyes. His voice is barely above a whisper, "You caused this." Those words sear into my mind like a branding iron, the guilt and horror boldly threatening to consume me.“NO! NO!” I scream in fright when sharp claws dig into my skin, scraping against my bone. Alpha Mich pays me
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 49- A scent I should have ignored
Ace's POVI'm aware that whatever I'm about to say will possibly make no sense to Aura at this moment. My words might hold no value to her but I must at least try. I've tried getting her alone, in a quiet setting where my thoughts would be more organized but if I keep waiting for that time, I may never find it. That bright and radiant eyes or the petite omega now look dull. The sight causes an unpleasant feeling in my chest, and although I'd like to wipe it off with a joke, I know now's not the time. We are sitting on a bench in the open filled outside her healing class. I notice some trainees checking us out but I pay them no mind.As I prepare myself to speak, I notice how Aura's shoulders are slumped, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if trying to hold together the shattered pieces of her heart. I should have been there for her. I would have been there for her. I still wish to be there for her, if she'd let me.. I take a deep breath, my own heart racing with a mix of

The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 55- A warm caress.
Aura's POVAt first we don't notice the sky darkening, too lost in the heated kiss to realize. But then raindrops begin to fall, gently at first, then it intensifies into a relentless downpour. “Hmm,” I moan against Alpha Xzen's lips a second before he pulls me up to wrap my legs around his waist. My fingers tangle in Alpha Xzen's hair while his hands roam my curves like a starved man. But our bliss is short-lived. A squeak leaves my lips when the rain suddenly becomes a torrent, forcing us to seek refuge. Alpha Xzen grasps my hand, “follow me!” He shouts under the rain, pulling me along with him. Laughter escapes my chest as we run like two pups in the rain. Xzen glances back at me, his eyes warm. I run after him, feeling my heart lighten as I'm led back to my shelter. Our footsteps splashing in puddles.Michel and Henry must be in their outside rooms on both sides of the small house, as they are nowhere to be found when we burst through the shelter's entrance.The door barely ge
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 54- I'll be gentle.
As I walk up to meet Alpha Xzen, my heart pounds heavily in my chest. He stands a few feet away, two guards standing beside him but not too close. His eyes are fixed on me as I step closer, expecting him to say something– anything that'll give me some indication of why he's waiting for me. But instead, Alpha Xzen's eyes shine as he simply gently tugs me away from the rising murmur of the small groups of individuals standing and sitting in the green field. A kind shiver graces my spine at the warm contact. I inhale, noting how good he smells. Alpha Xzen's thumb rubs softly the back of my tensed hand and I instantly relax, feeling a calm heat course through my hand to my heart. I stumble slightly, caught off guard by his sudden quick movement, like he's scared I'll refuse to follow him. "W...where are you taking me?" I ask, trying to hide the uncertainty in my voice. No, it's not that I'm scared of Alpha Xzen, but because I'm not sure what to expect from him. He doesn't respond resp
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love 53- That lustful gaze.
Aura's POVThe grass is wet today. Wet drops quickly slip into my sandals as myself and Bay stroll down to class. Today's our exam. It's our final practical class, one that I and Bay have been studying hard for. Like every other day, Bay came to wait at my door so we can stroll to class together but I don't believe that's the only reason. Considering how interested in Henry she was when I got out, I'd say he's the main reason she keeps showing up. As we stroll, I silently listen to Bay rant on about how Michel is always ruining her fun with Henry and how unfair it is. “I mean, I'm no longer with that cheating count so why can't I mate with a mateless beauty?!” Bay unsurprisingly yells.Yes, she's is... a lot. She's loud, blunt, and very dramatic, but somehow it all just works. Most days she's like a breath of fresh air to my worrisome mind, stirring things up and keeping me in the present.I realize, as we walk, that I've never known anyone like Bay. Someone who's so unapologetical
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 52- And if Ace were my mate…
It's been days since I last saw Alpha Xzen, and weeks since I moved out of the pack house. Through out this time a lot of things have been inconsistent. Although I hate to say it, I'm better off within the pack house where every thing is set in motion for me. Here at the shelter I can hardly coordinate myself. It's only now that I've tried living on my own, without the help of the pack that I realize just how much was being done for me back there. I never had to make my own meals, never had to wash the dishes, never had to worry for anything materialistic, Alpha Elena ensured I had it all even before I asked. It saddens me to remember I never once really thanked her before moving out. I'd been too blinded by hurt. Also I have noticed how most pack members tend to stare when I pass by. At first I'd quicken my pace and hurry off but ever since Bay made it her duty to walk me home, I've realized they all are simply curious about me. Most times whenever Bay waves at them they run up
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 51- I'm worth more than that
Xzen's POVOne look at Aura and I'm suddenly transported back to that evening…when I saw her with Ace. My frustration rises as I remember how close they both were to each other. I felt a pang of jealousy then, and I feel it now.I've tried so hard to get her to open up to me but she chooses to share space with Ace. Someone who's barely in the pack these days. How could she spend time with him so easily, when every time I take a step towards her, she takes a hundred back? It doesn't make sense. Hell, I thought I knew her, thought I understood her fears and her boundaries. But now, I'm not so sure.Aura's expression is confused, her brow furrowed in concern. She takes a cautious step back, her eyes darting towards the door like she's reminding herself of the available escape. Her stance is frightened, her weight shifting on to a leg as if she's ready to flee at any moment.I also notice how her tiny hands are clenched into fists, her knuckles white with tension. She's trembling, ever
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 50- Xzen, calm down
Xzen's POV"And where is he?!’’ I glare deadly at the guard, my demand shaking the room. The man, a tall, confident figure with chiseled features and a strong jaw line, bows submissively, but answers calmly, ‘'I do not know, Alpha.’'I take a step closer, my anger escalating. ‘'When last did he report to duty?!'’ I question, my chest heaving. I'm hit with a pang of irritation when I notice Collins sitting at a corner of the room, frowning.'’Relax, Alpha,'’ Collins says as he tries to intervene. '’It's just a training session. I'm sure someone else can stand in for Ace.'’I whirl around, directing my fury at him. '’You've been gone for a while, you have no idea just how lackadaisical he's been,'’ I snarl, my eyes flashing with anger.The guard seems to sense ann opportunity and speaks up, '’Alpha Xzen, I could fetch Ace if you desire.' He lifts his head a bit, his confident demeanor permanent. Just as trained.I frown, my eyes darkening. ‘'From this day forward, he ceases to be the Pa
