All Chapters of The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Xzen's POVMy senses are on high alert as I shift, taking a step forward. I move slowly, sniffing around me. The harsh wind carries a mix of scents, but I'm focused on one scent– Aura's. Ace from afar spots me and races down. If I wasn't so eager to find my omega, I would have ordered Ace to stay back. The mere sight of him annoys me to no end. As I approach, I notice a small entrance, partially hidden by the shadows and some burnt woods. Ace rushes in and glances back at me, his eyes gleam in the dim light before disappearing inside.I step in with practiced caution. My wolf's senses efficiently guide me through the partial darkness. The air inside the room is stale, but one scent stands out. Thankfully it's not too faint but it's definitely a day old. My heart races as I realize she was here, and recently at that.Desperately my gaze sweeps the small space. A black pot, a bowl… the shade looks newly made. Some parts of it is incomplete. But that's no what drags my attention. A w

Xzen's POVThe moon is shinning bright, projecting the shadows of five of my pack warriors, pretending to be sneaking past Jakpounders pack. It's Ace plan, one that I have to clench my fists to stick to. Why is it taking so much time?!A flood of relief rushes through me when I spot the silhouette of Jakpounders’ watch guards move in the planned direction. Sticking to my part a bit earlier than planned, I creep through the shadows, my eyes fixed on the Jakpounders' entrance. The guards, completely absorbed in the commotion don't notice me slipping closer.Skillfully darting between trees, I use the nights darkness to conceal myself. For the first time, the light from the moon poses as a threat. My heart is still in my chest. I strongly believe they have her but I'm not with enough backup. I need to be careful so this doesn't go south. I can't risk getting her hurt. And goddess save that bloody Alpha if any harm comes to Aura. Once I see an opening, I seize my chance. I slip insid

Xzen's POVI burst into Aura's room. My heart beats with excitement and concern. But I'm met with a scene that makes my blood run cold.Ace is standing beside Aura's bed, her eyes are red-rimmed with tears streaming down her sullen face. My Omega's awake, but her eyes are sunken, her face pale."M..my pup...my pup," Aura sobs, her voice cracking.I slowly approach the bed, instinctively feeling the fire need to comfort her, but surprisingly she turns away, her body language screaming rejection.I glance at Ace, only now recognizing the defeated look on his face. "P...please leave. Please," she begs with a voice barely audible.I freeze in place, my mind trying to process her request…her plea. I glance again at Ace, not wanting to believe I'm the one she's refering to while looking so scared and hurt. What's going on?"What's wrong?" I ask gently, taking a sit while trying to understand.But she shakes her head, her eyes welling up with more tears."Please, Xzen. Just do as she says

With a drop in my aching shoulders, I step out of the warm pack house, and the silence itself is deafening. No one speaks, not even a whisper. Everyone's eyes follow me, their faces etched with sadness and…guilt. Some gaze down, unable to meet my eyes, while others watch with muted emotions that mirror my own.I feel like I'm walking through a sea of regret, their unspoken words hanging in the air like a challenge. But what's there to be sad about? I'd been the one to make the wrong decision of running away. I'd caused the death of my unborn pup. I'd caused it all and now that I think of it I feel I've mistaken their pitiful stares for guilt. But they have every reason to pity the weak omega. The fool who lost her pup when she tried to find a better route in life. Two guards approach me, their expressions calm. They both offer to help me move my belongings. I nod at them, grateful for their assistance, as I'm still a bit tired. It's been over a week but my body is still recovering.

Ace's POVI'm aware that whatever I'm about to say will possibly make no sense to Aura at this moment. My words might hold no value to her but I must at least try. I've tried getting her alone, in a quiet setting where my thoughts would be more organized but if I keep waiting for that time, I may never find it. That bright and radiant eyes or the petite omega now look dull. The sight causes an unpleasant feeling in my chest, and although I'd like to wipe it off with a joke, I know now's not the time. We are sitting on a bench in the open filled outside her healing class. I notice some trainees checking us out but I pay them no mind.As I prepare myself to speak, I notice how Aura's shoulders are slumped, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if trying to hold together the shattered pieces of her heart. I should have been there for her. I would have been there for her. I still wish to be there for her, if she'd let me.. I take a deep breath, my own heart racing with a mix of
