Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Whereas at the pack house by the time Jason retumed, there was a crowd waiting for him which Alpha Clinton was trying to address. No one expected to come and meet with the old Alpha since the average time anyone saw him outside Ühe this was a year ago but the man looked well and strong, they wondered if he had recovered for long and did not bother to come out. When Jaxon arrived and saw they were the parents of the girls he punished, he told his father, “I will handle it Most people who were surprised to see the old Alpha in good health once again, wanted to ask but decided to first talk about the issue at hand since Jason was there to address the matter by himself As soon as he took his position beside his father, one of the middle-aged men chiled, “Alpha, you punished my daughter Clara’s father said. He was among the most respected ga mmas in the pack and exhumed great authority but compared to the Alpha, he had to shrink even if he was older than Jaxon. An unwelcoming aura accompanied Jason as he addressed the man in front of him “She caused it. We are all bound by rules.” Before Clara’s father could speak again, another parent spoke. He spoke humbly, as compared to Clara’s father. “Alpha please, the punishment is too much.” Jaxon’s gaze darkened. Too much? If I had not arrived in time and they sent Rowena away or burnt her alive, what would you have said?” Anger, swelled inside Jaxen as he thought to himself but subtly remained calm to all their pleadings. “With all due respect, you can help her if you think that she can’t do it” Indirectly, he was telling the Ether to join her daughter to take the punishment. Clara’s father was upset since he was the highest among the people gathered at the frontage of the packhouse. None of their wives were there, just the lathers. “You know that these girls are of noble birth. They have never experienced the harsh side of lile and

this would break them,” Clara’s father pointed out and Jason nodded in agreement. “Exactly what I want” Jaxon felt that if they experienced how the omegas worked, they would respect them next time. Those of noble birth in the pack were too hastile to the amegas which had to change. It was never in their hands to be born into an omega family and there was no way to change that. if they were going to live with it, then the attitude of every pack member was needed to make it happen.. “Please Alpha, there should be a way, another parent pleaded but Jaxon was unmoved, standing his ground. “There is none.” He turned to Clara’s father and said, “Your daughter deserves tople punishment for challenging my authority but this is my mercy towards her. Please don’t let me change my mind.” Hearing what Clara had done, her father, instantly removed the proud façade whiles he pleaded, “Alpha please, they are equally park members and should not be treated this way” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

*Do you know what they did?” Jamon raised his brows and asked, annoyed that being punished to clean the pack was too extreme. “No,” most of the parents shook their heads and spoke. There were eighteen of them, each ane representing their daughter. go back and ask them, Jaxon shrugged and turned around, He knew they were telling lies. Dealing with the middle aged and elderly was the most difficult because no matter the authority you carried, they still saw you as a child. Jaxon was determined to prove them wrong “I did. My daughter said they bullied Rowena and her friend a little so this punishments too much for such a small crime,” one of the fathers confessed. Jaxon stopped, smiled and turned around. His smile was loaded with bitter emotions threatening to fall like rain. “Did she also tell you that they threatened Rowena to leave the pack right now or burn down her house with her and her family in it?” Jason asked with a sinister grin which made her father shiver at hearing what Clara and her friends had planned against Rowena again. He felt that the omega community was no longer safe for Rowena. The parents lowered their heads nervously upon seeing the furious countenance of Alpha Clinton. They could not stand the middle-aged man’s disappointed and dark

gaze, thereby turning back to Jaxan and saying. “Alpha, you can’t take such words seriously. They most probably were just trying to threaten her,” one of the parents said in his daughter’s defense. As a parent, he knew that what his daughter did was wrong but the victim was just an omega for which reason the weight of the crime did not matter to them. Jaxon seemed to be well prepared for them. “I also recall that those were the same girls who egg-stored Rowena for which reason she left the pack eight years ago.” “Omegas are upid to such lives,” Clara’s father countered, making Jaxon frowned as he addressed the middle-aged man directly. “You and your daughter have the same mind. You are joining them in their punishment” The middle-aged man laughed. Then he looked jaar in the eyes and said, “You can’t punish me. I am a ga mma “No one is above the Alpha, and he has the right to punish anyone, Alphia Clinton chimed. He had heard enough to understand what had happened again and if Jaxon saw it suitable to add the father to the daughter’s crime, he was in full support of it Beads of sweal formed on the face of Clara’s lather. If the Apha and the old Alpha were in agreement, then who would speak for him and what would happen to him after he completed the punishment? He would lose his respect frantically. He could not think of asking Charles for help since Clara had already told him that Charles submitted to his elder brother and asked her to obey and take the punishment. “Alphia Clinton please, tell your son to be considerate. It’s okay. Let the girls complete their punishment by themselves, Clara’s father gave up but Jason did not intend to make it easy on him, thereby insisting, “No, you are joining them because you have a toxic mine” Alpha Clinton had already called one of his warriors and instructed, Chapter 25 “Send him to where the girls are being punished.”

“Alpha Clinton and Jaxon, this is not fair. Rowena is just an omega,” Clara’s father pleaded but the old Alpha was even more upset by the utterance and revealed, “That omega also saved my life. Something none of the doctors of high rank and even from other prestigious packs could do.” The news was like summer in the middle of winter, Completely unexpected. “Rowena?” The parents chorused in an unbelievable tone when Alpha Clinton corrected them by saying. “Doctor Rowena” Back at the Omega’s community, Rowena was still stunned by the person standing in front of her door. Row run to the back of her mind, refusing to offer any help. She leathed Charles and could not stand him for even a second. Charles did not expect to be received and seeing the stunned look on Rowena’s face, it was a great confirmation for which he said, “You can let me in or we can talk outside” “Outside it is,” Rowena quickly said, afraid that he might harm her if they spoke inside. What if he was here to avenge Clara? What if he only tried to make Jaxon feel that he was on his side whiles he secretly revenged? Howena could never trust Charles in this life or the next one. His next words made her to reconsider her first choice. “Let’s take a walk, into to the woods.” “No! Let’s talk inside,” Rowena quickly changed her mind. ‘Into the woods? What if he kills me and feeds by body parts to vultures? No one would know! Charles discerned her fears by how nervous she was, as his guilt i It increased tremendously. “I’m sorry Rowena, I have no intention to harm you.” Rowena bit her lips to suppress her rage whiles she asked, “Do you expect me to believe that?” “No.” Charles quickly agreed whiles Rowena asked again, “So, what do you have to say?” At least he admitted and agreed that she did not trust him so her fears were suppressed, “Can we sit?” Charles asked aher Rowena ushered him into the room. He has never been to any of the

omegas houses but could say that the house was cute, if not too cute for an omega. He contemplated if Jaxon had been involved in the changes of this house. “Okay” Rowena said before offering him a seat in the living room. They sat opposite each other and Charles was the first to break the silence. “Look,” he started when he saw Gracie and got confused. The bond was pulling him towards Gracie but another one was pulling him towards Rowena and he felt like the moon goddess was punishing him. There was no way he could say the things he wanted when his second chance mate was staring at him like that “Please let’s talk outside.” Rowena turned around and saw Gracie before the understanding settled at how uncomfortable Charles became but Gracie smiled at her and nodded her head so Rowena followed Charles outside the house. He began walking towards the wood but Rowena was afraid so she said, “we can talk here. It’s only us.” Charles seemed to be lost in deep thought and agreed. “Sorry, I mean, sorry for what I did to you right years ago.” “Okay. So, you can go now?” Rowena raised her brows and spoke Charles let out a bitter smile. Eight years ago, Rowena looked into his eyes with affection and expectation. Today, she stared at him with loath and determination, there was no trace of the naive Rowena who used to clean the packhouse in there. Only if Charles could turn back the hands of time or if he had known Clara’s true colors earlier. “Rowena, I’m really sorry. I should not have allowed Clara to do all that she did to you and I should not have said those mean things before and after rejecting you.” There was so much pain and remorse in his eyes, as he tried to stifle the tears that wanted to fall from his eyes. His words broke her then but his repentance healed her wounds and she began to see the brighter side of everything that happened to her. *Thanks to you, I’m now a doctor. If not, I would have remained as nothing”

Charles let out a sad smile upon realizing that she still had that soft heart which was so pure and forgiving. He took a step close to her and pleaded, even though he knew he did not deserve it. “Please give me the chance to make it right.” Rowena stiffened. “How?” She asked, uncomfortable by the way his eyes shone towards her. The last time she saw that look in his eyes was eight years ago and it was only towards Clara, Charles understood her reservations but there was also determination in his eyes. “I still feel a connection to you. We can start over?”
