Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 17
AMELIA’S P.O.VI am almost embarrassed at how quickly I rushed out of the room when Clara arrived. She was still barefooted and she smiled softly at me as she shut the door behind her. As we walked through the office walls, I took my time to really admire the expensive interior of the place. Clara led me to her car and as soon as the doors were shut and I was sure we were far away from Kaden and his super Alpha hearing that I know every Alpha possesses, I turned to Clara.“Kaden was nicer than I thought he would be,” I admitted and she turned to me with an amused smile. “I thought he would be upset for disrespecting him at the lake earlier but he told me it was fine.” “I knew there was nothing to worry about,” Clara said softly. “Kaden can be scary sometimes but he is a fair leader. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”“I was just expecting to be punished,” I mumbled. “Also, I’m sorry to be such an inconvenience. I know you’re taking on a lot by having me stay with you.”

KADEN’S P.O.VClara had been giving me updates on Amelia’s progress at the house. She texted me when she took a bath and when she ate dinner. My skin itched to see her and to find out how she was doing. The texts weren’t enough for me and I wanted to see her for myself and see how she was doing. When Clara told me that she was asleep, I instantly got into my car and drove to their house.I knew what I was doing felt crazy but I needed to see her. It was already difficult for me to know that she wouldn’t be living under my roof but I needed to see her to make sure that she was fine. Their house is a twenty minute drive from the pack office but I got there in under ten. I probably broke every single speed limit and road safety rule known but I couldn’t bring myself to care.I knocked on the door and it took a few minutes before someone pulled it open. My skin itched with anticipation as the door finally swung open. Clara stood there in a robe with wet hair but I couldn’t be bothered to

AMELIA’S P.O.VI woke up feeling better and more rested than I have in a very long time. I freshened up in the bathroom and I exited the room to find Clara standing in my room. She led me to her room and to her wide closet so I could pick an outfit for myself. I teared up at the fact that she gave me a choice which is something I haven’t had in a very long time.I chose a simple blue floral dress that flowed to my mid thighs. It had thick straps tied into bows and although it was a bit free on my body, it still showed off the curve of my hips especially because the torso had a corset like look and really cinched my waist in.“This dress looks better on you than it ever has on me,” Clara mused as she took me in. “You look absolutely beautiful.”My cheeks warmed at the comment and I found it hard to look her in the eye. The only person who had ever called me beautiful was Blake and I always thought he was lying but to hear someone else say it brought a warm feeling into my chest and a s

AMELIA’S P.O.VClara drove me to the front of a really large building. It had glass walls but I couldn’t see the inside and she explained to me that they were one way mirrors. There was a scary looking guard in front of the doors screening people who went in and my skin prickled at the thought of having to even speak to him.During the drive, she had explained the basic breakdown of the things I would have to do. She said I would have to meet a woman at the desk who would just ask for my details and issue me a new identity card. She would have to ask some invasive questions about my family but for my safety and comfort, they had called her in advance so I could have the interview in a quiet place without people eavesdropping.“Unfortunately, I can’t go in with you,” Clara said and I shot her a wide eyed look.What does she mean? I’m not sure if I can do this by myself. The very thought of stepping out of this car is terrifying. I know I am safe but I can’t help but feel like everyone

KADEN’S P.O.VI was so annoyed at the fact that I had been called away from Amelia. It grated on my nerves because I had spent all of last night thinking of a way that I could spend more time with her without raising suspicions and I had finally found one.I don’t know the name of the woman who was interviewing Amelia but I made a mental note to give her a bonus for putting up with my outrageous demands. She knows there is no physical test and I have never gone into that office to check on their work before. The only reason I was there was because of Amelia. The woman looked so confused and she looked like she had stepped out into an alternate universe but she still played along.For a second I thought she wouldn’t understand and would slip up but she remained professional throughout and Amelia will never know that all of that is just so I can spend time with her.I got to my office and pushed open the door only to see that it was already occupied. My mother was seated on the couch so

AMELIA’S P.O.VAfter I left the building, I didn’t know where else to go. Clara had told me that she would be back to pick me up in the evening but until then, I decided to roam the pack and try to sort out the multitude of thoughts that were swarming my brain.I walked down the streets and I passed an ice cream van. I wanted to get some but I realized I had no money and it brought back to the forefront of my mind that I needed to get a job. I need to be able to do things by myself without depending on anyone. I am no longer at home where my status could get me little things.I let out a sigh as I realized that life as I know it had completely changed. I would probably never see Blake again. Just thinking about him brought a pang of longing to my chest. Regardless of everything that happened, I still miss him and want him around. He did warn me about everything which means he must still have some feelings for me.If he truly didn’t care for me then he would probably have never warned

AMELIA’S P.O.VThe bomb that Clara dropped played in my head the entire ride. Those boys would be with me at every second of every day. There would be no Clara to save me then so I would need to be able to defend myself. The truth is that I’m not sure if I can do it. I am sure they have been training since they were children and I have never even stepped onto a training mat in my entire life. Would it really matter how long or how hard I train? They would always be able to beat me.“You’ll be fine,” Clara assured me and that was when I realized that I was talking out loud. I flushed pink and she gave me a small smile. “Don’t worry about it, are you ready?” “Ready for what?” I asked and she laughed softly.“To get your car of course.”I looked up and realized that we were in front of a large auto repair shop. I didn’t realize it was an auto repair shop because of how prim and proper it looks. The building had cream walls and glass windows that prevented me from looking inside. W

KADEN’S P.O.VMy irritation was growing with each passing second. I was irritated that I had to go on that godsforsaken date with that girl. She was about as interesting to watch as drying cement. She could barely even hold a simple conversation and she kept trying to throw herself at me. I wanted nothing more than to get up and walk right out of that restaurant but I knew mother would never let me hear the end of it.I spent the entire time thinking about Amelia and her scent and how soft her hair felt beneath my fingers. I thought about how peaceful she looked while sleeping and all the things I wanted to do to her. That was the only way I was able to get through that nightmare. I thought about her so much that for a split second when I was leaving the restaurant, I could have sworn that I actually smelled her scent but I knew it was impossible because I looked around and I couldn’t see her.I felt a pressure at the back of my mind meaning someone wanted to mind link me and I put my

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
