The alpha rejected me Chapter 28
StefanThe trail of what happened to Alice vanished completely.I killed a few men who stood guard the day she disappeared, but no one knew anything, and it ate at me for days. So I drained all my rage at the training center for the rookies. I beat them to a pulp to let them know what level I was looking for."Alpha, if I may say so, you're overdoing it with the newbies," Ariel said, and I raised my eyebrows."How is it possible that I'm overdoing it with the newbies?" I asked in my lethal voice."Because you're terrorizing them," Dalia mused. "You already sowed dread in the populace; you shouldn't sow it within your new soldiers. They already know what awaits them if they don't do the right thing and align themselves with your ideals and rules; you don't need to let them know you're going to be so cruel when you should be training them to be the best. You should gain their trust and incentivize something different than what you've been doing."Hearing her made me frown, and Ariel sig

AliceThe loneliness in the office was hitting me in a way I didn't know how to explain.Two days ago, the Alpha and Beta went with part of the Pack Council to an emergency meeting at the Species Council to be held in the Central Pack. I knew very well the reason: Stefan.I had been nervous at the thought of being asked to go as part of my personal assistant duties. I was so nervous that Bella noticed it and questioned me about it, but I just said I was remembering things from the past and that I needed space to get over it. Something she respected, but it made her look at me with some suspicion.And I realized that she was too perceptive for her own good.I didn't want to lie to anyone, much less the Alpha, but I was preparing for it in case she told me I should go; only that indication never came, if even as an invitation.The night before he left for Central Pack, Jackson continued our routine of preparing dinner together and gave me precise directions on all the chores I was to do

JacksonStefan was a world-sized jerk.He was showing off like a peacock in front of the Species Council members, talking about all the virtues he had, how powerful he had become, and the improvements he wanted to make to the system. I could tell right away that he had approached the six most easily captivated members, those who didn't hesitate to smile if I paid enough attention to them, so I didn't doubt that the captivating young man had been looking for dirt on those councilors so he would know how to approach them.One glance, and I could read his performance with ease.I had wanted to be as unbiased as possible, not wanting the past to be any impediment, but the man wasn't letting me off easy. He was too obvious and open with his lust for power, and the fact that his wife, Circe, was the one cajoling the rest was even an amusing fact if it weren't for the fact that he knew well her father's wiles and the way he had pitifully raised her.She, with a sly smile, came over to say he

Jackson"That can't be possible, this—"I didn't let him speak."At the Council we heard both sides of the coin," I said and Stefan immediately frowned. "I'm neither belittling nor discrediting him, but everything he's raising in this hearing needs to be checked and confirmed, and then the Alpha of the West Pack needs to be given the opportunity to give his side, evidence, and statement of facts. After that, we make a decision; that's why you need to follow protocol; it's something you must have learned when you were preparing to be Alpha, correct?""Correct," he said seriously, and I knew he hated me."In that case, I invite you to wait patiently for everything to be cleared up. Unfortunately, bureaucracy takes time, and an Alpha was not only put in danger, but he lost his Moon and his mate, his true soul mate—a very painful fact that you must know very well due to the history of his parents because it was exactly that which led him to assume the position prematurely," I told him for

AliceAfter burning the letter, I could do nothing but cry.This is devastating, I thought, with a lot of pain and remorse.The worst part was that I had to clean everything up before Bella showed up because she had agreed to stay that night with me since she could stand to be alone without Angel. The truth is that I understood her, and that's why she had given in, but I couldn't lose my temper with her, or it could be worse.I was afraid to face the truth and to let Stefan know that I was okay.I didn't want to lose my freedom.I didn't want to fall into his clutches.In all those days in the Northern Pack, I had learned to deal with the sense of helplessness, with the feeling of guilt, and with the damned feeling of inferiority. I was learning to understand that those were not problems in this territory and that, if I put my mind to it, I could make a good life with friends, with people who respected me and really appreciated me for who I was. The very idea of Stefan taking that aw

AliceI couldn't believe it.This is impossible, I thought painfully.I had understood that my father was the only private who had not been promoted during the war because he had made too many mistakes. And I was sure it was him because his name was unique in the pack; no one else had the surname Brown precisely because that was the founding family of the pack in the old days, but it was the Gray's who took power when they could because my old lineage was in cahoots with dangerous sorceresses.That was what I was always told.So I couldn't believe I had distinctions and was considered a war hero.My head was going to explode; there was too much information in one second."This man, what was he like?" I asked between hesitations to the Alpha."He was a great person; he knew a lot about plants, healing, and food. He was always one step ahead in everything, so he knew how to read the tactical moves of the vampires very well, to the extent that they had to make several ambushes until they

JacksonSleeping next to Alice was peaceful.So much so that Alfie, for the first time in weeks since we had met her, was completely calm and had not insisted for that night that we should sleep outside her room to take care of her sleep.It felt good in a way it hadn't before, and that spoke to how much I loved being bonded with her.It felt great—so good that I couldn't imagine what happened in the middle of the night.It was strong enough to make me realize certain important things that I wouldn't have noticed or even turned my head to see before.Alice had had a dream.But this dream was not simple; it was very vivid and on a level of unconsciousness where it was impossible to wake up, and I was thankful in the morning that she didn't remember any of what could easily be night terrors.However, what I felt as I listened to her cry and beg for mercy and how she demanded not to be touched broke my soul. Somehow, I had confirmed that she must have some kind of relationship with Alexan

AliceCooking for me was as easy as breathing.There was no other definition that fit better, so I was in a good state when I went on to organize everything Enya had asked me to make into a list that seemed to be endless. That's when I realized that the woman was careful with details, so I was much more careful and could better realize the proportions.Her phrases were funny, plus there was something interesting about them.Put some cinnamon in the dough; believe it or not, it gives life to the buns, and Bella loves them.Don't put too much pepper in the meat marinade mixture, or Angel will have allergies like when she ended up with her butt on fire from poison ivy.Don't even think about overcooking the carbonara. Jackson doesn't like it too much; he prefers it creamed just right. He's very polite, and he'll eat it however you give it to him, but he'll go eat any nonsense in the middle because he's not going to be satisfied.All those notes were gold, so dinner that day was a complet
