Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 “Here, you ladies can change up here.” Jaxon ushered the two women into his room and spoke. It was huge and elegant, nothing like before he left the pack, Rowena recalled that she used to Clean this room but by then, it belonged to the Luna. Now, everything looked masculine, as well as sophisticated and Javon’s scent whiffed through the air. “It looks like your mom to me Rowena pointed out. It seemed to her that after Jaxon became the Alpha, he was moved to the late Luna’s room. She recalled cleaning Jaxon’s room back then and this as well. However, everything here looked so different from the standard Alpha and Luna rooms of most packhouses. Everything looked she had seen in mansions in Canada. The corner of Jason’s lips curled up. His mate could detect his room because of his scent and she keeps denying the bond. They will see about that. “That’s why it’s the safest, I will be waiting downstairs. In case you need anything you can’t find in the closet, just scream my name or whatever,” he shrugged and began to rush down the stairs, afraid that she would refuse to use his room, “I have a phone here and I have you number too. We will call you,” Gracie yelled from the room due to the distance. “Much better, see you, Jaxon yelled back before Gracie closed the door. He breathed out finally, glad that his first plan worked. Having his mate in his room and using his toiletries will keep his scent on her. He felt sorry that Grace had to be a victim of his plan but Rowena would not be able to get over his scent in a hurry. Charles was waiting downstairs, looking confused. Was the moon goddess punishing him for rejecting Rowena? He had no regret for the past eight years but seeing her now, he did not care that she was an omega. Whereas, the moon goddess had already given him a second chance mate and Rowena was Jaxon’s second chance mate, which meant that Charles did not stand the chance anymore.

“What is the problem? I did not expect you to accept my decision of not bringing Clara along” Jaxon’s words cut through Charles’s thoughts. He was pacing here and there in the bid to avoid contact with his brother and Alpha, NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“I’ve done some things I regret, Charles said with remorse. Jaxon pretended like he did not know what Charles was talking about and asked, “What are some of these things you are talking about!” Charles smiled awkwardly, Was it not obvious? Jason was messing with him and there was nothing he could do about it. “It’s alright, you don’t have to think about it but you should not have let Gracie change in your room,” Charles said with displeasure. Yes, he felt the bond with Gracie and it was strong so which force was pulling him towards Rowena when there was no bond? It was very painful. He did not recall feeling this amount of pain when he rejected her but now, he was feeling it for being attracted to the omega he rejected eight years ago. “Why not? She is Rowena’s best friend or would you have me let her change in yours?” Jason’s brow raised whiles he asked. He studied his brother’s features and was satisfied with the look of regret dulling on his face. “Rightly, she should change in mine, Was what Charles thought but did not have the guts to volor it out. However, his feelings towards Rowena were becoming strangely intense. Charles was in a dilemma because this was strange. Maybe, knowing who Clara was had been was an eye opener for him. Moreover, Charles always liked the best. Taking Rowena and Gracie, it seemed that Rowena was senior to Gracie, which made Rowena even more attractive to him, ‘s hit!’ Charles was cursing himself internally. Who would be the laughing caricature now if his thoughts were laid bare for the pack members to see? “No, don’t mean it that way. If you don’t mind, you can freshen up in my room,” he suggested, hoping that should Jason grab the opportunity, he could have a little time to speak with Rowena when she came out. He needed to clarify if she felt the same way he was feeling about her right now. But then again, he was afraid. If that was the case, then what happens to Gracie? Yes, he was worried about her too, for which reason he was in a dilemma. “I want to be here when Rowena comes out, Jaxon said to his dismay before he added sadly, she is bent on leaving and I’m scared that should I lose sight of her, she’ll just disappear.” Hearing Jaxon’s

words, Charles felt a lump in his throat, it felt as if a part of him was missing by just hearing that Rowena was leaving again. It was a relief the first time but this time, it was very painful and he was even bent on having a word with her immediately. “I can keep watch whiles you change. We’ve always wore each other’s clothes sometimes so it’s not a big deal, right?” He asked with a smile whiles for the first time since they got back to the packhouse, he maintained eye contact with Jaxon, However, it was darkened with so much pain which made Charles afraid. That pain, was transferred through Jaron’s stern words, “You want me to allow you to receive Rowena in my absence? You were the reason she left and you think you can make her stay?” Charles wanted to take his chances. Jaxon most probably could not read his mind so this was a good way to seek his approval. “I could talk to her,” Charles sald faintly but Jaxon heard him. His brows raised as he asked, “You could talk to her to make her stay? I hope you are not considering having her in your life?” Charles was surprised that Jaxon had seen through him within a tw inkle of an eye. As such, he only met Jaxon’s question with silence, which made Jaxon furious. He let out a humorless chuckle before saying, “Be careful Charles, I will do anything for Rowena, if it means fighting you till death.” 1 don’t mind fighting with you, bro, for as long as Rowena would give me a chance, I don’t even care if I die, Charles said in his mind but did not dare to say it out loud. Luckily, the silent war between the brothers ended as soon as the two women stepped out of Jason’s room and began to descend the stairs. The jaws of the two men dropped as Rowena asked, “I hope you don’t mind that we borrowed these dresses. We just could not resist them.”
