Rejected Mate's Redemption (Freda and James)

Mates 18

Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen KAIDEN STIRLING I held my breath and said nothing. I looked down at Harper’s cereal bowl and filled it with the cereal. Harper liked to eat a lot, and I liked to satisfy her. I poured in milk and she instantly started to dig into the cereal. My heart was racing in my chest, and frankly, I was a few seconds away from bolting from the whole of this. From Safiya, from the way my wolf was anxiously prancing around in my head, clawing to be let out so he could go and see his mate (which was not happening), from this whole situation. “What, you’re not going to say anything?” Safiya said through clenched teeth and I glanced at Harper before looking at her. I knew it. I had done my best to not give a reaction to her words because I knew that if I did, she would explode. Now that she had no reason to explode, or to transfer her anger on me, she was frustrated. “Was I supposed to say something?” I asked with a quiet sigh, watching her chin quiver. “You were supposed to reassure me and tell me everything will be fine!” She yelled and Harper paused. I glared at Safiya before looking back down at Harper. “It’s alright baby, Mom and I need to talk,” I told her and threw a glare in Safiya’s direction before Chapter 18 walking towards the stairs. “Keep an eye on her,” I told one of the maids who were around the stairs as I walked past them. Safiya silently followed behind me and I changed my mind about going up to the room to talk to her. I could not stand being in a room with her. That was why I had been sleeping over in my working space in the Alpha’s quarters for months. I headed towards the back door and out to the garden.

Once she shut the door behind her, I turned around and looked at her. “You want to tell me what’s wrong with you?” I calmly asked. “What?” She asked like I had just said the most ridiculous s**t. My blood began to boil but I temped my anger down. “Why are you so mad? Mad enough to yell in front of Harper?” I asked and she shook her head before running her hand through her hair. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I believe I asked a question,” I coldly replied and she could not stand it. “Why are you so cold?” She fumed. “Answer my question, Safiya,” I had to force my wolf down when the Alpha tone spilt from my lips. Her eyes widened and for a second, fear passed through them. “She is going to take you away from me. She is going to ruin www Chapter 18 280 Mouchers everything. She always does that,” she said and tears filled her eyes. I was in absolute disbelief. I was in so much disbelief that a laugh fell off my lips. “I can’t believe you,” I shook my head and she looked at me with confusion. “What?” She asked. “Your sister disappeared. You never tried to find her or reach out to her. She’s come back after all these years and all you can worry about is how her coming. back will ruin things for you??” The more I thought about it, the more unbelievable it was. Safiya was the worst. I had figured that out before I married her, but then she had been pregnant. I had been s**d and I had gotten her pregnant. There had not been any way I could. abandon her or my child. That was the beginning of my misery, of my life falling apart. I shook my head and looked her in the eyes. “You’re disgusting.” I walked away. *** *** *** A walk around the park grounds had helped to clear my mind of the anger that clouded it. But as my

anger cleared, my need to see Freda grew until I was choked with it. I now understood why my wolf had been agitating over the past two and a half days. He had felt the presence of his mate and he was desperate to see her. I was desperate to see her too and my composure was shattering with every second I was not in her presence. I had not realized how much I missed her, how much I needed her, how much I depended on her until now. Chapter 18 11 And quite frankly, it was driving me out of my g**d mind. This was horrible. It was the absolute worst. I was not supposed to want her as much as I did. I was not supposed to need her as much as I did, because I was a horrible person. I had hurt her so much, and then I had gone ahead to marry her sister. I was married to someone. I was not supposed to be longing for her as much as I did. I leaned forward in my office chair and buried my face in my hand, hoping it would help me bury the restlessness that was sitting in my chest. It couldn’t. It didn’t. I pushed away from the seat and headed out towards the general area in the pack house. I needed a drink. A strong one. Werewolves could hardly get intoxicated on alcohol, except it had been mixed with a specific proportion of wolfsbane. Not strong enough to cause harm, but strong enough to alter the senses. I had tried it multiple times and I had only ended up hurting my stomach. As I walked into the general kitchen to look for something to eat (I had changed my mind about the drink halfway there), my ears picked up on the words of the women who were talking. “She’s back… ” “This is so messy.” “After her confessing to be Alpha’s true mate, he married her sister…” Chapter 18 “I heard her son looks so much like Alpha…” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“This is such a scandal!” My ears shut every other word because my mind was reeling. She had a son? Freda had a son? My wolf growled in my head, from anxiety and frustration. And I could not stop him- or myself -any longer. Before I knew it, I was in front of the house that Lyra had requested for the former Beta who was ailing. For some reason, I knew she would be there. And she had been. In the flesh. My mate.
