Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 153
AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was always a pleasure to see how Clara’s powers with the birds worked. I watched her in complete and utter awe as she sat cross legged on the floor looking for any piece of information to tell us where Aaron was.It didn’t take as long as I expected it to. One second, she was silent and the next, she was on her feet and giving me directions as I drove. I felt something akin to anticipation the closer we got to the pack house. Aaron was the closest link I had to my family and I wanted to know everything. I knew I could trust him, my wolf told me as much but there was still a little bit of apprehension, especially when I thought about the fact that I didn’t tell Kaden where I was going.There was no doubt that he was going to be pissed but my curiosity was far greater than the prospect of upsetting him.The guards were shocked to see us. They looked between Clara and I and I could tell they weren’t sure how to react. They were stationed in front of Aaron’s room.“Are y

BLAKE’S P.O.VIt had only taken a few days to get things in order and those few days were the longest of my life. Every passing second felt like an hour and it took all my self control to not just barge onto their pack but I knew that if I was going to make this work then I needed to do it once and do it well.“I think this is a bad idea,” Sam drawled. We were in a small tent in the woods. She hadn’t wanted to come with me at first, but I trusted her more than the others which was horrible considering I couldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her. “I don’t trust your source. Besides, this is Alpha Kaden we are talking about. He will come here first.”“I can handle Kaden,” I spat and although she went silent, I could tell she still didn’t agree.I looked around taking in everyone’s faces and I could see that they all agreed with her. I know Kaden is powerful, I had spent all my life hearing about the notorious Alpha Kaden but I had an advantage. I had his cousin. I could slip in and

KADEN’S P.O.VThe urge to find Amelia was overwhelming. I had heard about mates not wanting to be separated after being marked but I had never experienced it before. It was even worse than I had thought.We hadn’t even been away from each other for two hours and already I wanted to find her. I wanted to bend he rover my desk and fuck her until we both couldn’t breathe, I wanted to inhale her scent and feel her against me. It wasn’t even just about fucking her, I just wanted her. I wanted her around me, I wanted her next to me, I wanted her in the air that I breathe.I didn’t want to call her yet, I didn’t want to scare her or make her run. She had barely forgiven me and I was still making amends for all the shit I had done so I sent her lunch and flowers. I had sent it a while ago, I was just waiting for her call. It was pathetic how I held my phone in her hands waiting eagerly to see her name on my screen.When it started to ring, I didn’t even wait to see who was calling before answ

AMELIA’S P.O.VMy head was pounding. It felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to my skull and had turned it into their personal construction ground. I lifted a hand to my face trying to block out the bright rays of light hitting me. I wasn’t sure what had happened but I felt immensely weak. It felt like a chore to even open my eyes.I couldn’t feel my wolf which was weird. That sound have been the first red flag to me but I felt too weak to even think about it. I peeled my eyes open slowly expecting to find myself in my room but I didn’t recognize my surroundings. I immediately shot to a sitting position ignoring the pounding in my head.I was in a room, but it wasn’t mine. The walls were made of wood that was chipped, the bed looked like it was barely holding onto itself. The place looked old and dusty. I looked around wondering what the hell had happened when the memories slammed into me at record speed. I remembered Clara telling me that someone was coming and I remembered the

AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake kept a close eye on me while I ate. He walked towards the kitchen to give me a semblance of space but even I knew to take that with a grain of salt. I had already eaten most of the food and so far, nothing had happened so it was safe to say that it wasn’t poisoned.My wolf was already rousing and she had regained very little of her strength but I could feel her going around in my mind. She was just as antsy as I was about the situation. It was unknown territory and I wasn’t sure how to act about this. The Blake I knew before would never have kidnapped a girl. So much had changed about him.“Are you done?” he asked snapping me out of my thoughts. I wasn’t done by a long shot but my appetite was gone so I handed him the plate. “Did you enjoy it? I know I’m not a great cook but I think I did a good job.”“It was great, thank you,” I gave him a small smile. All I could do was play nice in the hopes that I would find a way out. “Where are we, Blake? You never told me.”

KADEN’S P.O.VWe searched the pack for the entire day. I didn’t sleep, didn’t eat, if breathing wasn’t an involuntary action, I wasn’t sure I would have even remembered to breathe. With each passing second, I knew that Amelia wasn’t in the pack but that didn’t stop me from searching.I combed every inch of the pack down to the hidden pockets in the woods but I couldn’t find her. I couldn’t even get a whiff of her scent. It was like she had just disappeared off the surface of the earth. I knew that was impossible. Whoever had taken her had just done a very good job of hiding their scents.It was around ten when I finally returned to the hospital. Everyone was there because of Clara. I didn’t even know how she was doing until I walked in. She had a bandage around her head and an IV in her hands but she looked fine. When I walked in, they took one look at my expression and Pamela burst into tears.Devin struggled to console her but I kept my attention fixed on Clara. “What happened?”I k

AMELIA’S P.O.VI couldn’t fall asleep the entire time that Blake was behind me. I wasn’t sure if it was the unfamiliarity of the room, the fact that I missed Kaden, the fear or the boner that pressed into my back. Whatever it was, I couldn’t bring myself to actually fall asleep.Blake fell asleep and woke up, the entire time, I was just staring at the wall opposite me. As soon as he was awake, he tucked my hair behind my ear and placed a soft kiss on my neck. Bile crawled up my throat and I could feel my wolf fighting to push him off but I managed to keep her at bay. I wasn’t going to risk upsetting the person that held me captive in case he injected me again.“How long have you been awake?” he asked and I shrugged. “It still feels surreal to see you here with me, Amelia. I had lost hope that this would ever happen again. Kaden kept you well hidden. Tell me about everything that happened while you were there.”I opened my mouth but no words would come out. I wasn’t sure what exactly h

KADEN’S P.O.VIt was almost as if they were expecting us. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they were, Caleb had a knack for making sure that everything was settled even before I realized that it was a problem. We were welcomed into the pack without a hitch and upon arriving at the pack house, we were welcomed by a woman I did not recognize.She had long brown hair and her eyes, albeit soft and doe like held a sense of power that I didn’t recognize. Judging by her scent, she didn’t have any title, she was a normal wolf, but the guards seemed to answer to her.“I didn’t know we would be expecting visitors,” her voice was husky, almost like a caress. It was the kind of voice that brought weaker men to their knees and she knew it.I didn’t need to think any further to know that she was probably someone’s mistress. She knew the power she held in her hands and she had spent years honing her skills. She wasn’t one to be underestimated, that was for sure. If it were another time, I would hav

CHAPTER 195AMELIA’S P.O.VFor a moment, Kaden just stood there staring at me and I wondered if I had pushed him too far. Perhaps it was never about me being ready, maybe he wasn’t ready to be with me after everything that happened.I felt so incredibly stupid and attempted to turn away from him when he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. I didn’t want to but we were like magnets, always drawn to each other and I couldn’t stop myself from staring straight into his eyes.“I’m only going to say this once so get this straight,” he began slowly. “I don’t ever want to see that fucking look on your face again. The only reason I said nothing is because I was thinking of how much of a bastard I would be if I fucked you right here instead of taking you up into a room.”I cracked a smile. “I don’t think I can make it upstairs.”“Me neither.”The words were barely out of his mouth before he kissed me again. I felt something akin to relief in the center of my chest. It felt good to be a

AMELIA’S P.O.VIt had been two days since Aiden came to visit and Kaden had not spoken about him. We acted as if it were a fever dream that was locked away in the far parts of our minds.I knew that Aiden wouldn’t give up anytime soon and I knew that one day, I needed to tell Kaden about what had happened but I couldn’t even figure out how to bring it up. It was unsettling and uncomfortable but I didn’t have solid proof that he meant for anything malicious to happen.“You’re thinking hard,” Kaden’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I turned to find him standing at the doorway to the kitchenIt was his presence that reminded me of what I was doing and I cursed as I pulled the oven open. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that my cake hadn’t burnt but if I had left it for a few more minutes, I wouldn’t have been able to say that at all.I rushed to get it out and put it on a cooling rack all the while I could see Kaden trying to hide a smile out of the corner of his eye.I was

AMELIA’S P.O.V“Hi,” I managed out as I made my way over to them and their conversation instantly ceased. I could see that Serena was itching to touch me but they both held back for my sake. “I’m not going to shatter just because you hug me.”That was all Serena needed before she rushed to her feet and threw her arms around my shoulders. She didn’t cry like the last time but I could feel her relief as she held me. I wasn’t sure how long that lasted but as soon as she pulled away, Clara’s arms were around me.“I’m so sorry,” she whispered and I could almost taste the guilt that was radiating off her.“It wasn’t your fault,” I assured her. “We were ambushed, we were sidetracked. Thar had nothing to do with you. I need you to know that.”“You were gone, for so long.”“But I’m back now,” I pulled away and grasped her shoulders. “All that matters is that I’m back now.”She gave me a small nod. I knew it would take more than that to deal with the guilt that she felt but it was a good start

AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was exactly one week since I had been back and I was yet to leave the house.Kaden had been patient with me, not forcing me to go anywhere until I was ready or making me do anything I didn’t want to but even I knew that life had to move on. I couldn’t just sit in here forever and pretend like things were fine and the constant state of boredom was driving me mad.We were having breakfast when I spoke. “I want to go out.”Kaden stopped eating, his eyes finding mine and I could see the worry in them as he slowly ran his eyes over me. He was more protective over me than usual and I didn’t blame him, especially not after what happened. If I wanted to go anywhere, especially now, I knew that there would be crazy rules to come with it.“Where do you want to go?”I shrugged. I hadn’t really thought that far. All I knew was that I didn’t want to be within the four walls of the house anymore. I wanted to talk to my friends, I wanted to be normal, I wanted to see people without

KADEN’S P.O.VWhat Amelia needed whether she realized it or not were her friends.Just those few minutes with Serena had brightened her day more than I thought was possible. It hurt that they could do more for her than I could but I didn’t care as long as it meant that she was fine, that was all that mattered to me.After the interaction with Serena, Amelia declared that she wanted to go home. I didn’t protest, didn’t even make any other suggestions, we just got into the car and drove. She didn’t hide from me when we returned which was a plus in my books, she simply sat on the couch, laying her head on my shoulder in silence.I wasn’t sure how long we stayed there but it could have been ten hours and I wouldn’t have minded. She seemed so peaceful, more than she had since she got back and I loved that for her.“I hate the silence,” she whispered and I turned to her. “When I was there with him, it was always quiet. I couldn’t go anywhere, couldn’t do anything, it was just the two of us

AMELIA’S P.O.VI didn’t want to leave the house the next morning but when Kaden told me that it was to say goodbye to Jackson, I forced myself out.Going to the pack house was terrifying and the entire time, it felt like someone was breathing down my neck and the worst was yet to come. Kaden was a firm pillar by my side the entire time, he never once took his hand out of mine and he never strayed from my side. I knew that I was safe with him but that didn’t mean I still wasn’t a little scared.“You look like shit,” Jackson drawled as soon as he saw me.Kaden stiffened, not liking his tone but waiting to see my reaction. I was silent for a second before a small smile pulled at the corner of my lips. I wrapped my arms around his center clearly catching him off guard.For a moment, he didn’t move and then, ever so slowly, he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed softly.“I would say you look like shit but you actually look better,” I whispered as I pulled back.He had clearly taken a s

AMELIA’S P.O.VI knew I was hurting him by not letting him in but I couldn’t.How could he help when even I didn’t know how to help myself? I was home and that should have been the most important thing but I still found myself terrified. In my nightmare, I was back in Blake’s little hideaway house. I was back with him and my baby was gone.How could I tell Kaden that knowing fully well that he was going to lose his mind and panic? I didn’t want him stressed- didn’t need him stressed right now. One of us needed a clear head and it was obvious that person wasn’t going to be me.“Amelia, baby, please look at me,” Kaden’s voice was soft and coaxing as he wiped my tears off my cheeks. “Please.”I wasn’t sure if it was the please or the sound of pure defeat in his voice that had me slowly opening my eyes. He gave me a small smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes and I couldn’t help it, I leaned up to kiss him. It wasn’t a deep kiss of unbridled passion, it was soft, almost explorative, just

KADEN’S P.O.VI couldn’t bring myself to fall asleep.Amelia claimed to be fine but I knew her better than I knew myself. I knew every bit of her, every smile, every freckle, every curve of her skin, I knew her emotions better than I knew my own sometimes and I knew for a fact that despite her saying otherwise, she was far from fine.I could see it in the way she hardly ever met my eyes, in the hesitation in her voice and in her determination to avoid speaking about whatever she might have faced in that place. I knew the guilt that she felt, sometimes when she let her wall down by accident, I could feel it like a bitter poison at the back of my throat threatening to choke me.It didn’t matter how many times I told her that I was fine with what happened, she couldn’t forgive herself and if she couldn’t, there was no way she was going to move past it. I wasn’t a fan of the idea of her being with Blake sexually but she did what she had to in order to survive and as much as I hated it, I

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was discharged before the end of the day.Kaden clearly didn’t agree with my choice but I doubted he could bring himself to refuse me. I knew I was being a little irrational and illogical but I couldn’t bear to be anywhere else. I wanted to be surrounded by people I knew and by my home, I wanted to be surrounded by him.He carried me into the car despite knowing I could walk and for once, I didn’t protest. Clara and Caleb were nowhere to be seen by the time we were leaving, I presumed they were giving us our space and for that, I was grateful. I loved my friends but today was not that day.As we drove past the turn to the house, I turned to Kaden. “Where are we going?”“Our home.”“But it’s that way,” I pointed towards the turn that we had missed. “Kaden, where are you taking me?”“That was my house, I’m taking you to ours.”I didn’t realize what he was talking about until he pulled up in front of a familiar building. The last time I saw it, he was still trying to per
