Worthless to Priceless: The Alpha's Rejected Mate CHAPTER 84
AMELIA’S P.O.VAs soon as Kaden left the house, I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I was eager to get to the library because I held onto the hope that it would have all the answers I was looking for. A part of me couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if I didn’t happen to find what I wanted but I tried to shut it out. There was no use being negative and potentially ruining my entire day.My phone rang just as I got out of the bathroom and I picked it up without looking at the caller ID. “Did you get it?”I knew immediately that it was Clara and I nodded momentarily forgetting that she couldn’t see me. “Yeah, I did. I’m getting ready to leave right now.”“Do you want me to come with you?” she asked. “It might be more helpful if you have two hands on deck instead of one.”“No thanks,” I would have loved her help but this was something I needed to do alone. Besides, I wasn’t sure how the library worked and I didn’t doubt that there would be guards there. I didn’t want Kaden asking

KADEN’S P.O.VThe assumption proved to be correct. We waited for over half an hour before we got the first glimpse of the rogues. It was one rogue at first and he came to scout the area. Thankfully, we were well hidden and he couldn’t see us. We waited until the rest of the rogues had arrived before we exposed ourselves and attacked them.Some of them were smart enough to run away while the others were frozen in place from shock. I gestured to Caleb to follow the ones who ran and he wasted no time before leaving with half the guards. There were more rogues than we counted on but I kinew we still had the advantage of numbers.This team wasn’t filled with children, the youngest looked to be in his mid-thirties. They were experienced fighters and they put on one hell of a fight. I had no plans of taking any hostages because I knew that torturing these rogues would prove fruitless. There were countless scars on the skin of most of them and I knew that they wouldn’t be as forthcoming with

AMELIA’S P.O.VI recognized the woman instantly. Her sharp eyes were not something I could ever forget. She was also one of the first people in this pack to be nice to me. She looked good for her age and she smiled softly when she realized that I had recognized her. The main reason I couldn’t forget her was because she said she knew my mother. I had planned to go back and ask her about it someday but life got the better of me.“I didn’t think I would ever see you here, Amelia,” she smiled then gestured for me to walk with her. “It has been a while since we last saw you and a lot has changed, you are with the Alpha now.”“He’s my mate,” I didn’t know why I was explaining myself to her but I knew I could trust her. My wolf assured me that she was kind so I followed her.She hummed. “So I heard, how does it feel being mated to an Alpha? I assume it isn’t as easy as one would think.”“It’s not,” I laughed softly. “But it’s Kaden and he is worth it, I guess. Where have you been since we la

KADEN’S P.O.VI never realized how hard it was to smother thoughts of murder until I knew another man wanted my mate. A part of me was furious that he would even think about it and I wanted nothing more than to storm into that pack and rip his head clean off his shoulders. I doubted Gregory would care but there was the little issue about him being mated to Gregory’s daughter. If anything happened to her, I knew Gregory was going to tear the world apart to kill whoever harmed her.The only thing that was keeping me sane was my promise to Amelia to trust her. I wanted to lose control, my wolf wanted to lose control but the knowledge that I would be hurting her by doing so was the only thing keeping me from making a drastic decision.“Kaden,” Amelia’s hand on my shoulder snapped me back to reality.After cleaning me up in the bathroom, she pulled me into the bedroom and made me lie in bed while she went to prepare something for me to eat. I loved whenever she cooked for me because it sho

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was practically floating in the air for the rest of the day. I was so terrified to tell him how I felt and instead of the rejection I expected to be met with, he had repeated the words back to me. It felt like things were finally aligning in my favor. I was with a man who I loved and loved me back. We spent the evening together just cuddling in bed and eating snacks. There wasn’t anything sexual about the way he held me, it was just intimate.I woke up the next morning to him shuffling around the room. When I glanced at the window, I saw that it was still dark outside. I sat up slowly glancing at the alarm clock as I did so and it read 4 a.m. my brows furrowed in confusion. Kaden had his back to me and it wasn’t until I cleared my throat that he turned to me.“Hey baby,” he whispered as he crossed the length of the room to kiss me. “You can go back to bed, it isn’t time to get up yet.”“Where are you going?”“There was a little disturbance at the border but don’t worr

AMELIA’S P.O.VAll the maids were gathered in the kitchen within minutes. I tried to tell Kaden that it wasn’t a big deal but he wasn’t having it. He was furious and I had a feeling that it had less to do with the food and more to do with the fact that he was already pissed. The maids were quaking in their shoes as they stared at the empty dishes that Kaden had lined up on the counter.“I need an answer,” his voice was deceptively soft. If you didn’t know him, you would think that he was of right mind but one look in his eyes would show you that Kaden was at his wits end. “Last time I checked, food doesn’t just up and disappear. Someone took it. The quicker I get answers, the quicker everyone else can leave.”No one dared to speak and I think that pissed him off even more because he slammed his hand against the counter. Even I jumped from the sound. I had never seen Kaden lose his cool like this. I could feel the pleading eyes of the maids on me begging me to calm him down but I could

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden went from worried to confused to aroused in less than three seconds. One second he was opening his mouth presumably to scold me about locking the door and making him fret and the next, he was closing it and staring at me with dark eyes so black that I couldn’t make out his pupils. He reached out for me but I took a step back and gestured for him to come in. For once, Kaden didn’t protest. He just nodded and did as I had asked.I locked the door behind him and leaned against it. “How do I look? It was a new outfit and I just thought I should try it on. Do you like it?”“Like?” he scoffed, “I fucking love it. I would love it even more if you allowed me touch you in it. Where did you even get it?”“Clara got it for me,” I explained as I walked over to him.He wasted no time in grabbing my hips once I was close enough to him and he made a sound deep in his throat that was a mix between a groan and a moan. “Tell Clara I’ll buy her whatever the fuck she wants.”“What if

KADEN’S P.O.VThere was nothing better than waking up to Amelia’s body pressed flush against mine. By the time we were done last night, she was too exhausted to move and I enjoyed the feel of her skin flush against mine so I made no efforts to give her anything to wear. It was both a blessing and a curse because I woke up to her legs slung over my hips and my cock nestled right against her folds. She was breathing softly but that didn’t stop me from hardening. The action had her squirming against me which did nothing to help the case.I muttered a curse under my breath and exhaled deeply through my nose in an attempt to calm myself. There was no need for me to be acting like a horny teenager when I was balls deep inside of her last night. For e brief moment, I understood people who went to drugs, I understood the need for the high because she was like a high and I already wanted my next fix. As I stared at her delicate features I couldn’t help but realize just how perfect she was for

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
