Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 71
AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden kept his arms around me as he made a quick call to his receptionist and asked her to get some food for us. I couldn’t help but wonder why he didn’t just mind link her especially when she had to call to confirm what drink I wanted with my food. I kept my question to myself because I didn’t want to seem too inquisitive but when she walked into the office and smiled softly at me as she placed the plastic bags on the table, I couldn’t help but turn to Kaden.I waited until the door had shut behind me before I spoke. “Why don’t you mind link people? I have only seen you use it with Caleb. Don’t they know how to?”“They do but they can’t because they don’t have access to my link.”My brows furrowed in confusion. I cocked my head to the side but Kaden didn’t pay heed to me, he was more interested in making sure that his secretary had gotten everything he asked. I remembered him giving me access to his link so easily and I thought it was like that with everyone else.“I h

AMELIA’S P.O.VAs I watched Lucy being dragged out with hatred and anger in her eyes, I couldn’t help but feel bad for her. I would have been angry too if the man I thought I was going to be with had thrown me out of his office like nothing. I knew that Kaden had told her repeatedly that he wanted nothing to do with her but I still couldn’t help but feel a pang of hurt for her. It was embarrassing.“This is why I didn’t want you outside,” Kaden muttered as he gently grabbed my upper arm and led me back into the office.I turned to him in confusion wondering what he was talking about but he didn’t say a word until we were safely behind the doors of his office. I could see that he was a little annoyed and I knew that a part of it was directed at me.“Did I do something?” I asked hesitantly as I took a slow step back. Whenever father was upset with me, he tended to explode and although I trusted Kaden, my instincts couldn’t be ignored and they screamed at me to get away whenever a powerf

KADEN’S P.O.VI dropped Amelia off at school for the first time since we started seeing each other. She tried to discourage me from the idea but I was set on it. I didn’t want to hide her, I wanted everyone to know that she was the one I had chosen. For a second, I worried there was another reason she didn’t want me dropping her off but she assured me that she just didn’t want people to stare.At the end of the day, she agreed and she had her face buried in her hands the entire time. Her cheeks were red from the moment we got into the parking lot and they got worse when I kissed her deeply not caring who was watching. I saw the looks of shock and interest on the faces of the students but I didn’t care much about it. I waited until she had gotten into the building before I drove off.I immediately drove towards the hospital. All through last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I had been told. I had a feeling there was more to the story than what Dr. Brown was telling me and sin

AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Caleb came to pick me yesterday, I was worried. He took me straight to the office without a word and drove off. I waited for Kaden to arrive but his office remained empty and it didn’t matter who I asked, no one knew where he had gone. I tried to reach him via his mind link but his wall was firmly down and nothing I did would budge it.When Caleb came to pick me up after, I had asked where Kaden was. His response was that Kaden was fine but it didn’t put me at ease. Even though Caleb didn’t say it verbally, I knew he also wasn’t aware of Kaden’s whereabouts. I had never worried for a person the way I worried for him and it was very obvious because I could barely eat my food.“He is fine,” Clara tried to assure me when she saw me playing around with my food. “Kaden is more than capable of looking after himself.”“I know he is,” I said softly but that didn’t stop me from worrying.Most of my worry was about him but there was a tiny part of me that couldn’t help but w

KADEN’S P.O.VI knew it was wrong to put her on the spot like that but I needed to know whether she still felt for the boy. I watched her every move carefully while trying to maintain the façade of sadness and guilt because the truth was that I didn’t care what happened to Blake or anyone else from that pack as they didn’t directly influence Amelia.In fact, when Caleb told me last night that Blake had mated with Brittany, I was filled with relief. The relief was so palpable on my face that Caleb had to remind me of his past with Amelia and how she might feel about it. It put me in a bad mood which was why I didn’t go to see her all day. I kept trying to remind myself that there was no way she could still feel anything for him after being with me but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was possible.When she walked into my office, I was filled with so much frustration that I lashed out at her but I quickly realized it wasn’t the right way to go about the situation
Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 76
AMELIA’S P.O.VAnger burned through me the entire way home and it wasn’t until I got to bed that it was more disappointment than anger. I had hoped we had gotten past Blake but it seemed like it bothered Kaden more than he cared to admit. I understood that Blake was a major part of my life but I couldn’t believe that he thought I would still want him after everything that had happened between us.I still cared for Blake, it was obvious considering what we had been through but it was not in the same way that I did for Kaden. What I felt for Kaden could not be explained into words. It was mind blowing and all consuming. The only reason I stayed quiet when he mentioned Blake was because a part of me was relieved and I was thinking about the bond between us and whether it would be broken since he had mated with Brittany. I was having a silent conversation with my wolf but he took it as something else.I couldn’t stand to be around anyone because I knew my mood was volatile so I spent the

KADEN’S P.O.VI had the best date planned for Amelia but I couldn’t get to it because of all the meetings I was being roped into. I loved being Alpha but sometimes it could be annoying and this was one of those times. The elders were fretting about a potential rogue attack due to my actions and I had to meet with the guards and patrol team in order to beef up security in the case that the rogues chose to attack.Last night, there was an attack on one of our neighboring packs and Caleb is concerned that it was a retaliation for our actions and we might be next. I wasn’t as concerned as he was because I was certain that they wouldn’t attack and even if they did, we had the manpower and the weapons to wipe them out. The pack they attacked was much smaller than ours and easier to overpower and still- they lost.I was finishing up my meeting with the patrol border when Caleb ran up to me. He looked panicked and I knew that I would want to hear whatever he had to say so I dismissed the bord

AMELIA’S P.O.VSometimes I wondered how I got lucky with someone like Kaden. He was patient with me even when I couldn’t speak at all and just offered his silent solidarity. When I woke up the next morning, it was to breakfast in bed and a soft kiss on my lips. I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t realize when I blurted out that I wanted to move in with him. He was taken back and asked me twice if I was sure that was what I wanted and I nodded.I wanted to be with Kaden, there was no need to delay the inevitable. I loved being around him and I loved falling asleep and waking up in his arms. As soon as I assured him that it was my decision, he immediately called for a moving van and we were on our way to Clara’s house. I was a bit anxious about talking to Pamela and Devin because they had made themselves like my parents and it felt weird moving out.It was Pamela who opened the door and as soon as she saw me, she pulled me into her arms for a warm hug. I almost broke down in tears at tha

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
