Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 39
AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Blake leaned down to kiss me, my first thought was to turn my head to the side and avoid his kiss. I was angry with him for leaving me. I was angry with him for keeping me in the dark about everything. I wanted to know how long he had been aware of the plans my father and Brittany had against me. I wanted to know why he felt so comfortable with leaving me. I was furious but I couldn’t bring myself to pull away from him.There was something comforting and familiar about his touch. There was something warming about his hold and I couldn’t help but just lie there and allow him press his lips to mine. Even if I wanted to, I was too weak to push him away and so I did nothing.I barely had time to process his lips on mine when the door flew open and Kaden appeared. He was drenched by the rain and his clothes were wrinkled as if he had put them on in a hurry. His body was dripping wet and his hair was plastered to his forehead. At first there was shock on his face but it

BLAKE’S P.O.VI fell through the window with a large crash. My entire body ached and it felt like I had been run over by a freight train. My eyes were half closed and swollen because of the hits and there was dried and crusted blood on my nose and lower lip.I expected the man to follow after me through the window but when he didn’t immediately, I rushed to my feet and into the woods. I hid behind a tree and watched what was happening. I saw him glance out the window as if he was debating following after me but he decided against it and walked back into the room.Judging by the aura emanating from him and the unnatural strength that he had, I knew he was the Alpha but I couldn’t imagine what the Alpha was going in Amelia’s room. There was no reason why he should be bothered with a lower pack member like Amelia unless there was something he wanted from her.I tried to peek into the house from my position but I couldn’t see anything and I muttered a small curse. I took a small minute to

AMELIA’S P.O.VMy head was pounding. It felt like someone was running a construction site inside my skull. It took me what felt like hours but I am sure in reality was only a few minutes to get my bearings and get myself acquainted with reality again. I forced my eyes open and to my shock, the sky was a beautiful mixture of colors. It was like someone had splashed a water color palette into the sky prompting it to turn into a mixture of orange and purple and a slight pink hue around the edges.The first thing I noticed after staring at the sky was that the room had been fixed. The dresser had been replaced and so had the windows. The room like brand new with beautiful wooden carvings replacing the things that had been broken during the fight as well as a beautiful vanity sitting on top of the dresser.I glanced at the clock beside the bed and it read 6 p.m. I couldn’t remember the time Kaden and Blake fought but I could clearly remember the day and it was not the date I was seeing on

KADEN’S P.O.V: FLASHBACKWhen Amelia fell unconscious in my arms, I panicked. I tried to shake her awake but she was not moving. I could feel her pulse and I could feel her through the bond but everything else was quiet. It was like she was barely breathing and she was as still as log. If not for my many years at being around dead bodies, I could have mistaken her for one.The thought of her dying was enough to send me into another panic and I began to shake her furiously trying to will her awake but nothing seemed to be working. It felt like hours when in reality it was only a few seconds. I tried CPR and but she still wouldn’t stir and that was when I knew that I needed medical help.I lay her gently on the bed and took off in the direction of the front door. I had left my phone with Caleb when I rushed out so I decided to run all the way to the hospital to get the healer. I calculated it and figured it would take me about twenty minutes to get the healer and return. I just hoped th

KADEN’S P.O.V: THE PASTI stared at my mother with a blank expression waiting for her to say that it was all a joke but she remained smiling as if she had just given me the opportunity of a lifetime. I glanced over at Lucy who looked up at me through her lashes in what was supposed to be an innocent look but ended up making my skin crawl. I promptly looked away and I saw her smile fall.I was pissed that my mother kept trying to interfere and shove Lucy down my throat. I had told her time without number that I was not interested in Lucy that way but she seemed determined to have me mate with Lucy. I wanted to tell her that I had a mate but I knew that conversation was not going to end well at all so I stayed quiet.“What do you think?” she asked when she realized I hadn’t said anything. “Lucy is available to start whenever you want. She is a hard worker and she-”“You don’t need to speak for her,” I cut my mother off.She was shocked that I had spoken back to her and I saw her entire

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden didn’t stick around after that. I didn’t know how he found out about Blake but I didn’t want to say anything because I was worried that he would hurt him. My silence however may have done more harm than good because Kaden did not speak to me after that.He walked out of the room even though I tried to speak to him and according to Clara; he walked out of the house without looking back. He had not been back to see me and it had been three days. I tried to ask Caleb about him but Caleb would only give me simple answers and not offer anything else. Clara told me that Kaden had probably told him not to say anything to me.I couldn’t help but feel bad especially because my wolf would not stop reminding me that I had hurt our mate with my actions. I used to think that getting a wolf would be fun but in reality it was like having an alternate persona in your mind who never left you alone. She pestered me day and night and I actually wanted to apologize to Kaden but I was

KADEN’S P.O.VIt felt like years since the last time I spoke to Amelia. Every single time I spoke to Caleb, it took all my strength to stop me from asking him about her. It felt like a physical pain whenever I drove past the house without walking in. I did it more times than I would have cared to admit because even though I could not see her, I wanted to be around her.I had hoped that maybe she would have felt bad about what happened and come to find me but she didn’t and it frustrated me. It felt like I was the only one feeling the pull between our bond and she didn’t even care. I was losing my mind from not being around her and every single time I had seen her, she looked happy.I had documented her training progress by watching her sometimes through the woods. It wasn’t on my usual jogging route but I had decided to start taking the longer route so that I could get a glimpse of her. She had gotten better in training which made me proud and she seemed to be getting along with Ronal

AMELIA’S P.O.VI had been dreading my meeting with Kaden in the pack house because I was unsure of how to act around him. Things had changed now and he wasn’t just my Alpha anymore- he was my mate. I wondered if it would change anything or if things would stay the same and I also didn’t know how I was going to be able to sit across him for an hour while feeling the mate bond surging between us.At the end of school, Clara offered to drive me but I turned her down. It was something I needed to do by myself so I could weigh my pros and cons alone as well as prepare myself for the inevitable surge of emotions that would surface from seeing him. Although, when I got to the pack office, I began to wish I had asked Clara to come with me because there was a gnawing feeling at the centre of my chest.It took me almost five minutes to get out of the car because I couldn’t help but feel like something bad was happening or going to happen. It was a constant ache in my chest that I tried to rub o

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
