The Alpha's Rejected Daughter 22
Laura's POVI stood at the edge of the crowded room, watching as Annabelle shed her tears for the hundredth time that evening. I couldn't help but feel annoyed at Annabelle's constant need for attention from Alexander. I knew that with every tear Annabelle shed, she tried to worm her way deeper into Alexander's heart. It wasn't fair, not when I had loved him without ever trying to manipulate him. Even after all he put me through.Alexander was leaning in close, studying Annabelle's face with a concerned expression. I knew I had to do something, or else Annabelle would take advantage of any opportunity to steal Alexander's attention away from me."Hey, Alex," I said, tapping him on the shoulder. "Can I talk to you for a second?"Alexander turned towards me, a faint smile playing on his lips. He looked so handsome in his tailored suit and polished shoes. I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my chest every time I looked at him."Of course, Laura," he replied, gesturing for me to follow

Laura crossed her arms and leaned back against the wall, giving me a look of pure contempt. "You know, Clara," she said slowly, "I'm getting really tired of your attitude. You're always trying to start drama or get people on your side. Well, newsflash: nobody likes a whiner." I felt a lump rising in my throat. I couldn't believe she was speaking to me like this, after everything I had been through because of her whoring life. "I'm not a whiner," I said, my voice shaking with anger. "I'm trying to stand up for myself, because nobody else will." Laura let out a harsh laugh. "Stand up for yourself? You wouldn't know how to stand up for yourself if your life depended on it. You're just a pathetic little girl who's always looking for attention." I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let her see me cry. "You don't know anything about me," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "You don't know what I've gone through." "I know everything I need to know," she said smugly. "

Annabelle's POVI arrived at Dominique's house with Clara, but I asked her to wait outside while I try to convince Dominique to buy into the plan, again. I knew I had to convince Dominique that attacking Alexander's pack was the right thing to do, but I also knew it wouldn't be easy especially after that narrow escape he had with the first kidnap case.As I got to Dominique's house, I didn't meet him in the living room, so I was directed to his bedroom by one of his pack members. I knocked at his door when I got there and a voice responded "It's open"I walked into his room and before I could even say hello."Annabelle, what brings you here, again?" he asked, his tone polite but guarded."I said we would meet again, remember? And I have a new plan," I said, trying to sound confident. "I think it's time we took action against Alexander and his pack."Dominique raised an eyebrow. "Why? What's changed?" His face giving "I'm not interested" vibe."They think they're better than us," I sai

Clara's POVI had gone to meet Annabelle after she got released by Alexander. I met her because I was interested in what she did. But I didn't tell her that I want Alexander for myself since that was what she wants too.She was excited about my idea of joining her and she quickly set up a meet with me and Dominique.As I waited outside I heard someone calling my name. I stepped into Dominique's room, my heart racing with anticipation."Clara!"I smiled, feeling a little self-conscious. I was wearing a simple blue dress that I'd borrowed from my cousin, but Annabelle always knew how to make me feel special."Hey, Annabelle," I said, gently. "Who's your friend?"Annabelle turned to Dominique and motioned for him to come closer. He hesitantly stepped forward."Clara, this is Dominique," Annabelle said, introducing me to Dominique. "Dominique, meet Clara."Dominique froze in suspense as I extended my hand to him. He stood there for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on my hand, before finally

Dominique's POV The three of us sat in my in silence, it was like we were all thinking at the same time and seeing Clara was all a shock to me. I knew her to be part of Alexander's pack and I was just surprised at how quickly she turned, especially knowing that she offered herself. I had my reservations and doubts about her because if it's easy for her to turn against a pack she grew up then, it will be easier for her to slit my throat. Clara and Annabelle were lounging on the couch, sipping on glasses of wine and chatting casually. They looked so relaxed, so at ease, that I couldn't help but envy them. They seemed to have it all figured out - Annabelle was going to make her move on Alexander, and Clara was going to help me win over Laura, at least that was what Clara said. It all seemed so simple when they said it like that, but I knew the reality would be much more complicated. "So, Dominique," Clara said, interrupting my thoughts. "Are you ready to get back in the game?" I shru

Alexander's POVI had been restless for days now, unable to shake off the unease that had crept into me and settled deep within my bones. My pack was in danger, that much I was sure of, especially Laura. I could sense it in the air, a foreboding feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on.I had always been careful when it came to my pack's security, but now I realized that I needed to take things up a notch. Not just because of the sense of imminent danger, but also because I owed it to my pack and it's my duty as an alpha. Moreover, they are the ones who had placed their trust and loyalty in me.I called for a pack meeting, summoning all my members to gather in the living room of the house. As they filed in, one by one, I could see the anxiety in their eyes, each one silently wondering what could have prompted the meeting."Everyone, I have something important to discuss with all of you," I began, my gaze sweeping over the room. "Lately, I've been feeling uneasy or let me say, si

Clara's POVI took a slight breath as I stepped out of my car and made my way towards the house. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I knew I had to be careful. One wrong move, and I could blow my cover as Dominique's inside person. I couldn't risk that.As I approached the front door, I could feel my palms getting sweaty. I took a moment to compose myself before ringing the doorbell. A few seconds later, Alexander opened the door, looking surprised to see me."Clara, what brings you here? Sorry, I mean... Where are you coming from?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowed."I just went to check in on someone,, see how the person was doing," I said, trying to sound casual.Alexander nodded, looking at me suspiciously. "Sure, come on in."I followed him inside and took a quick survey of the surroundings. I needed to gather as much information as possible, without raising any red flags."Can I get you something to drink?" Alexander asked, leading me into the living room."Oh, come on. Stop t

Annabelle's POV I never thought the day would come where I would meet my parents again, because after what happened it felt weird meeting them again. After what I did to Laura, my stepsister, I was sure they would never want to see me again. I was wrong. The room was small and cramped, with old furniture as usual and yellowed wallpaper. My parents sat across from me, staring at me with a mix of relief and disappointment. I didn't blame them. I had screwed up big time. The silence weighed heavily on me as I sat there, unsure of how to begin. My mother was the first to speak. "Annabelle, how could you do something like that?" She had always been the strictest of my parents. I knew she was angry, and rightfully so. My father, on the other hand, looked at me with a sad expression. "Let her explain. There must be a reason why she did what she did." He always had a softer heart than my mother. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation to come. "I know what I did was wr
