Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 55
AMELIA’S P.O.VEveryone in the house knew that Kaden snuck into my room. I wasn’t sure if I was pissed at them for not telling me or if I understood. It felt like a mixture between both emotions so I simply decided not to bring it up. We all pretended like they didn’t overhear the argument between Kaden and I while I pretended like they weren’t as complicit as he was.Sometime around noon, there was a knock on the door. I was the only one in the living room at the time so I went to open it. I should have checked through the peephole but I didn’t so I was taken aback when I saw Kaden standing there.His head was cast down as if he was scared to look at me. I knew he was a bit embarrassed about what happened last night and wasn’t sure how I was going to react to it. I wasn’t that upset about it but I needed to remain firm in my standpoint so he wouldn’t think I was acceptable to repeat.“I know you probably don’t want to see me,” he began. “But I want to make it up to you and I want you

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden dropped me at home without as much as a goodbye kiss. I should have been amazed that he was acting like a perfect gentleman but I wanted more. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about the way my body was pressed up against his in the pool. I tossed and turned in bed unable to get rid of the ache burning between my thighs. I wasn’t able to fall asleep sometime during the early hours of the morning.Training went by in a blur because Kaden was there. I could feel his eyes on me the entire time and it made me fumble during training. It didn’t help that I was in shorts and a fitted tank top. I could practically feel him scouring my entire body but just like at the lake, he made no move to act on anything. He just stood to the side and watched me. At the end of training, I expected him to come up to me or something but he got roped into a conversation and I had to leave so I wouldn’t be late for class.When I got to school however, I knew something wa

AMELIA’S P.O.VI read the words over and over again hoping that it would change. I thought that maybe I was the one having troubles seeing but it never changed. His name was written in perfect cursive at the bottom and I felt my heart lurch in my chest.As much as I hated to admit it, there was still a part of me that felt for Blake. I hated the way my heart skipped a beat and seeing this letter had just turned my storm of a day into a hurricane. I didn’t know how he managed to get a letter to me in Kaden’s pack but I knew that if Kaden found out he would be furious. I was confused about what to do or where to go. On one hand I wanted to treasure the letter but on the other, I wanted to throw it into the trash and pretend like I had never seen it.Clara returned at that exact moment with some concealer in her hands and her brows rose as she took in the flowers. “Are those from Kaden? I would have expected him to send you daisies or something. I never pegged him as a rose guy.”“They’r

AMELIA’S P.O.VI got a text from Kaden the very next day saying that everything had been handled and I was freaking out. It had been so long since I was in the immediate vicinity of my father and I was unsure of how to react. I was worried that he would somehow realize I was there and try to find me. I was worried that my entire life would blow up in flames. I could barely breathe or string together a sentence.I got the message in school and I immediately began to panic. Serena had no idea what was going on but she helped me into the car and drove me to Clara’s house. I wouldn’t give her my phone to call Clara for fear that she would see the message but there was no need because by the time we got to the house, Clara was pacing on the doorstep.“Is she okay?” she asked Serena who shrugged. “Thank you for bringing her, I can take it from here.”Serena wasn’t so quick to relinquish her hold on me. “Are you sure? She might need an extra hand. I wouldn’t mind waiting to make sure that sh

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden’s hand wrapped around my neck as his lips claimed mine. He leaned over me and the sheer dominance from his presence was enough to have me clamping my legs shut and moaning softly. He took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and all I could do was try to follow his lead as he claimed me. His tongue explored the inside of my mouth as he used his free hand to peel my thighs open so he could settle between them.His hand remained on my neck while the other trailed up my thigh until it settled on my hip. He gripped the soft skin firmly and hooked one leg over his waist so his hardness brushed against the most intimate part of me. My eyes slammed shut and a ragged gasp left my throat. My pussy was throbbing with need and Kaden knew it because he muttered a curse under his breath and pulled away from me.He was a sight to behold leaning over me like that and I had never wanted anyone like I wanted him. Both hands left my body and I whined in protest but that

KADEN’S P.O.VI watched Amelia disappear up the stairs towards my private office. I knew I was taking a huge risk by asking her to be present but I felt it was a better alternative than leaving her in Clara’s house where he could easily sneak in to find her.If I had my way, we wouldn’t have been having the meeting but we needed to tackle the rogue problem that had been plaguing not just this pack but others. A lot of packs had complained about it and we needed to sit down and figure out a way to sort it out. I never held meetings like this in the pack office, there was a building with a hall designated for these kind of things because most meetings with Alphas tended to end in bloodshed.Gregory arrived in his car and I expected his daughter to step out on the other side with him but I was shocked to see Blake. His face had healed well and my wolf fought to come out and kill him but I had to keep him at bay. I couldn’t attack him without telling Gregory why and I didn’t want him to k

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was sitting in Kaden’s office when someone knocked. I knew it wasn’t Kaden because he wouldn’t have needed to knock on his own office so I stayed silent hoping whoever it was would leave. The knocking ceased and I thought everything was fine until there was some shuffling and the door creaked open revealing Blake. He had two bobby pins in the key hole that he used to pick the lock and he had a crazed look in his eyes as he pulled them out and walked into the room.“You shouldn’t be here,” I told him as he moved further into the room. “You need to leave.”“I couldn’t leave without seeing you. I knew you would be here. Do you know how hard it was to get your father to take me instead of Brittany? I had to convince him that as his future son-in-law I needed to be present for these kind of meetings.”I winced as his words hit me square in the chest. He was still with Brittany. Despite everything that happened and everything he knew they had done to me, he was still with

AMELIA’S P.O.VI hesitated before shutting it. I knew Kaden would never hurt me, I trusted him more than I trusted a lot of people but that did not take away from the fact that Kaden was a natural predator and this was his house. It was like throwing a lamb into the lion’s den and hoping that because the lamb had only eaten goats before, it wouldn’t hurt the lamb.Despite my heart pounding violently in my chest, I allowed the door click shut. Kaden’s house was amazing with pure white sofas and marble tables. There were small flowers on the windowsills and I noticed the house had a feminine touch to it. Jealousy burned in my chest as I remembered that Lucy lived here too.My eyes finally found Kaden and he was seated on one of the couches with a bottle of whiskey in his hands. He had barely taken anything from it but it was opened. I wasn’t ready to face him so instead, I turned and went into the kitchen. I searched until I found a broom and made my way over to the shattered glass and

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
