All Chapters of His Rejected Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Xavier, honey, why is she crying?” I walked into the house, placing my keys and bag and looked around for my sweethearts.“Hey Ari.” Xavier came out of our bedroom with an exhausted face. Our daughter leaned towards me and I quickly scooped her into my arms. I showered her with kisses making her giggle slightly, her tears disappearing. I wiped her cheeks, drying her tears and looked at Xavier. He looked worn out.“Hey, what happened?” He sighed and walked into our room and sat on the bed.“I was about to grab a bite and she saw me. I fed her tiny pieces of the bread but she wanted a bite. I was afraid that she would choke and I didn;t feed her and she started crying.” He whispered in a broken tone.“I am so sorry honey. Have you been a bad girl, sweetie pie?” I asked our daughter who looked at me with her eyes. She had her left hand in her mouth and looked at me innocently. She made a sound of displeasure and I sighed. “Did you eat anything, Xav?” He shook his head in a no. “Go and fi

“I don’t understand why you are still thinking of that? Xavier's frustration hung heavy in the air, a palpable weight mirroring the despair I felt for his situation. After our baby girl Aurora was born, Xavier became even more protective of us. He couldn’t stand the sight of us in misery or trouble. Her vaccinations or our routine check ups seemed like hell to him.“I met Nina at the park yesterday, in the evening.”“Nina?”“Yeah, she is Augustus’s mate.”“Okay..?” He dragged on, asking his unsaid question.“They lost their eight month old son. To them.” Xavier’s hold tightened involuntarily on Aurora and I smiled sadly at him. “That’s when I felt like doing something for them. Again. He doesn’t deserve this, but his pack need not suffer on his behalf. Unless you agree to this, I shall not take any decisions.” I smiled and raised my toes, dropping a kiss on his cheek. He wrapped his arm around me and we stayed like that, our heartbeats mingling. The rest of the day was spent in a blur

“This place looks better than what we had last time.” Xavier spoke, entering the hall. It was fully furnished and looked more secure.“But this is not home honey.” I added, carrying Aurora in my arms who was looking at everything wide-eyed. Sometimes I wish I had the ignorance of a child. Carefree and relieved.“No Ari, it is not home, but we shall try making it one.” He walked towards me and caressed my cheek. Aurora enjoyed the warmth, giggling and fidgeting between us.“No Xavier. I don’t want to. I am afraid that if I get too comfortable here, I might lose sight of danger. I don’t want us to be in any peril of any sort.” He chuckled and kissed our foreheads.“Fine. But don’t blame me for being happy here. My home is with me.” He looked at us affectionately and I realized what he meant. His wedding vow.His home would be me, so would be his destiny.“Then I have my home with me too.” I added. He smiled softly. Our moment was broken by a knock on the door. We turned behind to see K

I walked away from there, hanging my head in shame.How long will you keep letting her down? I didn’t know if it was my wolf or my subconscious which taunted me.That said, her final question haunted me too.I had never made up my mind to tell her. I didn’t know why I even told her. All I wanted was to find a place in her good books, but that seemed like a far fetched dream, right now. Nicholas was silent on the way back to the pack house and I was glad for the silence. “Install the cameras and let me know. Don’t even leave a pot. No one must sense a blind spot.” He nodded wordlessly and got back to work. Pouring myself a glass of whiskey, that gladly burned my throat like my burning heart, I sat down. Her words, her accusations, the disappointment in her face did something to me. What did I manage to do all these years? Am I a good man? Am I a good wolf? Are my people happy? My chest tightened when I realized that I was a bad and mean alpha. Do the people even trust me?Kane walked

Nervousness?Anxiousness?Scared?These didn’t even compare to what I was feeling inside. I was shit scared. Fucking shitting sacred.Xavier was trying his best to cheer me up. He and Aurora dressed in cute bear costumes, acting so adorable that I was teary eyed. Xavier complained that he was trying to make me happy but it misfired. I did tell him those were happy tears but he didn’t believe me. What was I scared of?Everything.I knew that I said that I was interested in anything, but that was not true. I knew that the moment I was declared as the Luna, there was no going back. I would do my best to fulfill the role of a Luna. I may not rule beside him from the same throne, but I would definitely have to interact with him. “What is that that bothers you?” Xavier held my hand, stopping me from pulling out all the strings in the pillowcase.“Everything.”“Tell me one by one.” He placed a pillow on his lap and pulled it closer to his chest. He was all ready to listen what I was about t
