The Rejected Alpha Chapter 122
Mavis and I had walked out of the library and towards the pack house, discussing as we went.We decided to meet up at the library and continue with our research hoping to find something, anything. After a while of finding nothing meaningful, we decided to head out. "I still can't believe so much has happened." Mavis sighed. "And that wicked witch Sarah, I can't believe she- ugh!"I nodded silently as I walked alongside her. I still couldn't believe it myself, how gullible I'd been."I can't believe I let her braid my hair! All while she was trying to poison- wait," She paused like a thought just came to her. "That's why I was knocked out for almost a day.""What?""When I had some of that your blasted tea once, I was literally slumped over for a day, and I didn't know why. I'm sure it must have been the tea.""Oh, I remember that." I said recollecting the day that we went to see Evelyn and James had informed me that Mavis had been sleeping since the previous afternoon well into the n

Huh, impeccable timing."Good day Alpha Adrianne, Mavis" she said as she approached us. And even as she stood before us I knew it wasn't a coincidence that she walked by us this very moment. Her steps were deliberate.And as I regarded her I knew something was wrong. She seemed uneasy.Sensing all this, I put my hands on her shoulders steadying her a bit. "Hey Mara, are you alright?""Yeah, no- well yeah, I'm fine, but I'm, I don't know." She sighed."What's wrong?" "I saw you walk out here and I decided to come look for you. I needed some help. It's my sister.""Aliyah?" "Yeah. She's acting weird." "Oh, so she stayed afterall." I said confirming some of the thoughts I had on my checklist."Yeah, she did. Ever since her encounter with the Beta a couple days ago, she's been acting weird." She said trying to gesticulate with her hands. "I know they're not mates cause she didn't feel anything, but afterwards she's been a bit catatonic. She says I'm exaggerating but I don't know." M

I sat cross legged on the floor in my room wondering whether I should go through with this. Holding the candle in my hand, I tried to dissuade myself while also simultaneously pumping myself up for this. A two days had gone by since I started preparing for this encounter. Sorayah had added more detailed instructions for the candle on a piece of a paper she attached to the bottom of it. Among those instructions was an important note saying that I could only light it at sunset.So here I was, waiting. I also had to wait for Damon to get back with Marcus, who said he'll be here before sundown, which is when I need to light the damn thing. I have more of the pack members in the loop, who have a general idea of what is going on. And they are all ready to fight. And better suited to protect themselves. That and the fact that she could literally be anyone emphasizes the need for everyone to be on the lookout as much as they can. Look for those festering scars. I stared at my hand as m

Her steely gray eyes made contact with mine.She looked shocked for a nanosecond but she recovered from it so quickly I almost thought I had imagined it."Adrianne dear." She tried to look weary. Tried. "You have to help me, something got me and has me locked up-""Cut the crap."And she immediately shut her mouth.Good."What do you want from me? No really, what do you want from me?""Hm, skipped right past the pleasantries, diving right in."I stayed silent, watching her.Studying all her minute movements with great precaution.She was here, but not fully. That I knew. But you wouldn't be able to tell from her mere physical appearance. By all standards she looked present, fully present and living. I noticed how her chest rose and fell gently, steadily with every breath she took. I noticed her throat move gently as she swallowed.I noticed her her pupils dilate and constrict as she occasionally glanced around the room, her eyes adjusting to the light.I noticed that little vein at

"Everyone was supposed to die that day. We were not taking any survivors. We fueled his rage and need for vengeance and then had him attack your pack. Although," She frowned, "he initially resolved to only sedating everyone while he went in search of the Alpha. We needed them dead not drugged, but that was only a minor hitch. We lit a fire," she snapped her fingers, a flame igniting on the the tip of her thumb, "and unconscious people cannot escape fires." She ended looking far too smug for my liking. "We needed you all gone, and yet somehow here you are. You survived. He let you go. He was obedient in all things except for when it came to you." She gave me a once over like she couldn't fathom why anyone would have deemed me worthy of living at the time. Apparently now I'm her prize. Stupid bitch."At the time, we were upset, but now I realize, he couldn't have made a better decision for us. It all worked out perfectly, because as it stands now you are very important to us, and we

I was at Evelyn's place now. Seated in the same chair I was when she told me that people were after me. Same chair I sat in when I was freaking out and scared.Same chair I'm now sitting in with determination and fierce resolve. "So, is it something you can do?" I asked her. This was probably the most important aspect of my plan, our plan. If this failed we wouldn't even have a plan.She pressed her lips together in a thin line, contemplating.I was getting more and more anxious by the second."Look, it's not the 'doing' it that's the problem. It is being able to sustain it that I worry about."I swallowed. "Of course, it's going to require a lot of energy and can put you at risk. I should have thought about that."She shook her head. "It's not exactly myself I am worried about. If I can't sustain the spell," she rose her brow, "Then the plan would most likely fail, and then everyone would be in danger." Of course, that too.I sighed. But there was no other way around this. We

We made plans. We had strategies. But we also had to be careful.They might be watching us, we have to make sure they don't figure out what we're up to. This is part of the reason why we haven't disclosed the actual issue and plan of events to many people. We also didn't want to create panic in the pack. I had been training more and more these past few weeks, but with everything going on now, I kicked my training up even further to the last gear. Damon going all out. These days during our tackle training, I feel like he's genuinely trying to kill me, which makes my survival instinct kick in and I'm able to fight back just as viciously. Damon has been training all his life and he's stronger than I am, but I believe I'm beginning to hold my own. Hunting is also taking a different turn.I usually don't like eating much of the kill anytime we go out for hunts, but now, I did. I ate a lot. A whole lot, and then some. I caught larger game. I ate them all. I needed to bulk up and fue

***A few minutes had gone by and we were still deep in conversation, regarding the sisters, what was happening, well the main gist of it and how we had to move forward.Even though I completely engrossed in the conversation I caught his footsteps before he even stepped on the lawn.I glanced over at Aliyah who had her eyes trained on Evelyn as she spoke of healer capabilities when they are in full bloom.I could sense him approaching. He was now outside the door. And by the way he lingered there for a whole five minutes I'm sure he knew who was in here. He was here to go over some things with Damon, something I would have to sit in on as well at some point.When I had planned this earlier I didn't think that it would take so long. I didn't even consider them running into each other. Is it going to be awkward or is it actually a good thing? To clear the air maybe?He finally stepped in, Sam, the head guard, in tow. They walked up to us and then greeted me."Alpha." They both said a
