Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 28
AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was only a few minutes that I spent waiting for Kaden to return but it felt like hours. I sat in one of the chairs and waited anxiously for him to return. I couldn’t help but wonder what was being said in my absence. I wondered whether he would defend me to Lucy or whether he would take her side and call me a wolf less member. I heard those words every single day at my old pack but hearing it now felt like an even bigger insult.This was supposed to be my new and fresh start but it was like my past kept following me no matter how much I tried to avoid it. It was like no matter where I went, all people noticed first was that I was wolf less. I couldn’t help but wish I had a wolf like everyone else then maybe those words wouldn’t have hurt.All my life I had asked the question, why didn’t I have a wolf? Was I cursed? Was I as useless as they all thought I was? Why couldn’t I just be like the others? I didn’t know if it was jealousy or envy but that emotion was roaring

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden stood in front of me like an imposing statue. My hands were still in his and I could feel the weight of his stare like an ever watching hawk. The intensity of his gaze was enough to make even grown men squirm. He stared like he knew all your secrets and he could see through your skin and bones into the deepest parts of your heart and soul and like he could see even the things you struggled to hide.I tried not to squirm in my seat but it was difficult especially because I couldn’t bring myself to look up at him. I could feel him boring a hole into me and I knew he wanted me to look up but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. His gaze and his hands holding mine was leading my entire being into an overdrive and I didn’t understand why that was happening.Suddenly, I felt his grip loosen and I used that moment to pull my hands into my lap. I could still feel the pressure from his hold and somehow as I pulled my hands closer to myself, I felt cold. I almost missed the he

KADEN’S P.O.VI have never once been more grateful for the fact that Amelia is nervous around me than I have been today. Usually I hate her nervousness and I want her to be free around me but if she was then she would have noticed how many times I slipped up today. From the moment I picked her up at school, it was a battle not to haul her into her arms. When Lucy arrived and messed everything up, I was so frustrated and angry.I was furious at my mother for setting things up with Lucy and I was even more furious that Lucy was now living at my house and there was nothing I could do about it. My anger at Lucy couldn’t stay at the surface for long because Amelia was like a magnet. She was my kryptonite and she managed to drag my attention no matter how far in my thoughts I was buried. Her silence was loud and her words were even louder.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but be pulled and sucked into her world and axis. Speaking to her reminded me of being a teenager again and t

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was having the most blissful dream about being in an ethereal garden with a beautiful horizon and water as bright as crystals. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing but then I started to hear Clara’s voice. At first I was so confused and I looked around hoping to see her but she was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I woke up and the remnants of my dream were washed away by the awareness of reality.I looked around for Clara thinking she was in my room but my room was empty and my door was still shut. I began to think that I had imagined her voice in my dream when suddenly I heard her voice as clear as day in my head.“Wake up,” she said over and over again and I was confused for a few seconds.I thought I was imagining it all when suddenly yesterday’s events settled in my brain and I remembered that Kaden added me to the mind link. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I wasn’t actually going crazy.“I’m awake,” I responded in my heads I wiped the re

KADEN’S P.O.VIt had become a routine for me to visit Caleb’s house once I knew that Amelia was asleep. Clara was so used to my presence that when I knocked on the door last night, she just opened it and side stepped me. Even Pamela and Devin were used to seeing me around and when I walked in, Devin just smiled at me softly before retreating to his room.I already knew the way to her room and I knew the way around her room but I needed to make sure she was deeply asleep because according to Clara, if you bothered her within the first thirty minutes of her falling asleep then she would wake up. Anything after that was fine but those first thirty minutes were crucial and I didn’t want her to wake up and see me in her room.She would freak out and probably be more terrified of me than she already was. I knew what I was doing was considered weird by many standards but I didn’t know how to stay away from her. I was trying my best by staying away from her when she was awake and giving her t

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was so deep in thought wondering what Kaden could possibly want from me when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped slightly and Serena looked at me with raised brows. She must have thought that I was crazy and all I could do was offer her a small smile.“We have about an hour before the next class,” she began slowly. “I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to get some coffee from the café. It might help you stay awake longer.”I nodded and walked out of class with her. We walked side by side in silence but to my surprise there was nothing awkward or tense about the silence. It was rather comforting and when we got to the student settlement, she led me to a café that I had never been to.“They have the best things here,” she said and I chose to believe her because I knew she has been in the pack longer than me. “Why don’t I buy you a drink,” I offered. “Seeing as you brought me here.”I dug through my bag to find some cash and I muttered a curse when I realized t

GREGORY’S P.O.VBrittany was silent next to me as I drove into the Dark Fangs territory. I have never been here before and I was still reeling from the insult of the last time I was here and wasn’t allowed to cross the territory. I knew it was because the Alpha didn’t know me and I had come unannounced but it didn’t make it any less of an insult to be turned away like a commoner.When I received the offer, I almost declined it but I realized that the business I had to conduct was a lot more important than my pride so I shoved down every feeling I had in relation to the situation and accepted. I immediately wanted Brittany to come with me even though I knew how unusual it was.On diplomatic missions, it is advisable to carry your Beta but there is no one I trust more than Brittany. She was the only one who knew the true reason we had to come and I also wanted to teach her an important lesson about dealing with other Alpha’s for when she becomes ruler of the pack.I could feel Brittany’

AMELIA’S P.O.VDevin’s words settled like lead in the room but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. As soon as the words left his lips, I started to laugh. Laughing proved to be difficult because it only intensified the ache in my bones but it was all I could think to do. I didn’t fully understand the concept of shifting because father never explained to me. He told me that I didn’t have a wolf so I didn’t deserve to learn but I knew it had to do with finding my wolf and I didn’t think it was possible anymore.At some point I had just come to terms with the fact that I might never have a wolf but hearing Devin say that I might be shifting had reignited a lost sense of hope that I had even forgotten I had. I stared at him after my laughter had died down with wide and hopeful eyes and Pamela walked over to him.She pulled him off to the side and I saw them engage in a serious discussion. I couldn’t hear what they were saying properly but I heard my name and I heard the word shift used

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
