Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Rowena was moved by how Jaxon stood up for her. He even threatened to banish Clara because of her and everyone knew that he was not mincing words. Her heart sk ipped a beat at someone standing up for her for the first time in the snow mountain pack. It was like a dream she did not want to wake up from but was it enough to make her change her mind? What if he was doing it because of his Ether? Rowena woke up from the fantasy of him caring for her for who she was, “Look, I haven’t worked out in a long time,” she tried to argue. Jason’s voice was soft as he said, “That’s why I’m giving you the easiest workout.” “Ea.. easiest?” Rowena stammered. Did he want to kill her before her return to Canada? Her brain could not absorb it but Jaxon explained casually and her eyes widened. “Most of us did between ten to twenty. Don’t worry, I’m here with you. Just give your best, I want to know your resolve and ability to endure.” Gracie felt that Rowena would refuse so she quickly pulled her to the side whiles she suggested, “Row, at least we aren’t among the group and will not be laughed at. Please don’t let him change his mind.” “Alright” Rowena agreed since Gracie saw nothing wrong with what Jaxon had in store for them. Also, the Alpha had left his training to be with them. The three began with brisk walking, following Jason’s lead. Slowly, Jaxon began to quicken the pace. The two ladies were scurrying behind him before it grew to a full jogging. When they covered half of the pack, the women were already getting fired but Jaxon encouraged them, “The fact that you have lived with Humans for so long does not mean you should behave like them. We are naturally stronger so please keep up the pace and make me proud.” The women were rejuvenated. Indeed, they had their natural strength and had to dwell on it. That thought got them to cover the pack twice before fatigue began to set in. They were panting and sweating all over. Jason slowed down till they were in the same line whiles he said, “Whatever you are able to do at the time of tiredness is the real essence of your living. That is what shows how strong you are.”

The women did not answer, only following through with the routine. This was their real test, for which reason they could not bring themselves to give up in as much as their bodies begged for it. By the time they were done, Rowena was out of breath and Gracie was already on the floor due to how tired her legs were. They had turned into jelly. “I’m proud of you both,” Jaxon said with a smile and was about to continue when he saw Rowena losing consciousness. She was about to fall when he caught her, wrapping his arms around her. Warmth and peace flooded Rowena’s heart instantly, her heart pounded loudly. She enjoyed his manly scent which made her to forget her mission to not get close to him. It felt good and also right to be in Jason’s arms like that until she heard someone calling. “Alpha, it went well” Rowena froze at the familiar voice. She was surprised that Charles kept addressing his brother as Alpha but felt it was because they were at training. She quickly pulled away from Jason’s arms and he frowned instantly, wishing that she had stayed longer. Jax was so happy when Jaxon held Rowena to his chest but Charles” attention went to the woman panting on the floor, as he extended his hand to her. “Here, I will help you up.” Gracie looked up surprised but did not refuse. From her understanding of what Rowena said before, Charles hated omegas so why did he want to help her? Did it mean that he would accept her? Clara was watching everything ongoing. Not only was Rowena stealing the Alpha but her friend also had eyes on the Beta. She was the only woman who enjoyed Charle’s attention from before but today, he smiled at the witch beside the bi tch Rowena Clara began to run uninvitingly towards them. When she reached there, she intertwined her hand with Charles. Gracie felt a pang in her chest and turned away whiles Clara said, “Babe, training is over. Should we not prepare for work?” Clara worked as Charles’s secretary ever since she completed college four years ago. She has been attached to him like glue, refusing to work anywhere else in the pack. It was the feeling of also seeing Jaxon more often but the Alpha would sometimes work in the night and not be in the office during day

time. Carly, he was avoiding her. “Shall we leave to the pack house now, Row?” Jaxon’s gare pinned on Rowena when he asked. The Intle opportunity he got to embrace her got him and his woll excited. That was how it was meant to be and he was sure to steal more opportunities to keep her right there in his arms, Rowena was surprised when Jaxon called her by her nick name, her heart thumped and her wolf was wildly awake. “It sounds weird if you call me that way she admitted. Though Clara and Charles were there, Jaxon was not ashamed to flirt with her, His voice had a flash of allure whiles he responded, “So, you can call me by my first name and I can’t address you by your nick name?” Jason pretended to be offended. Rowena was slightly amused and slightly surprised at the way he turned everything on her, especially when he was the one who insisted that she called him by his name. “No, I mean…it just feels different when its from you,” she stammered, as her cheeks turned pink. Jaxon was even more excited by the change in the color of her face. Now he was certain that the effect he had on her and the band they shared was very strong. “How different?” He inched closer, making her even more uneasy, Clara was so raged, her fingers were digging into her palms, drawing blood. How could Jason, bring the Alpha, stood so low to fall for the beauty of a woman who had an omega wolf? Sadly, just as she turned to Charles, she saw something flash in his eyes and it was not just Clara who saw it but Gracie too. 1/2 Chapter 19 Gracie’s heart twitched. It seemed to her that Clara was not the only one preventing Charles from accepting her but ut also R Rowena. Chades seemed angry at the open intimacy between Jason and Rowena, though it was only evident in their voices and not body movements. No wonder he distracted their hug from earlier. “I will like to shower before meeting Alpha Clinton. I’m so sticky and I have to make a good first impression. It’s been eight years, you know,” Rowena voiced her concern but was subtly in for a surprise as Jason said, Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“There are lots of empty rooms with bathrooms in the packhouse. There are even female clothes, if you ask me.” “Female clothes?” Rowena was at first surprised before recalling that what she was wearing was purchased by him. Jaxon saw the changes in her facial expression and went on to say, “They are all new. in your sizes, Jason swiped his gaze between Rowena and Grack, knowing that Rowena would want her best friend around. Charles’ gaze darkened even more but Gracie recalled something and asked, “Jaxon, is it because the Alpha invited us to live in the packhouse?” “He did?” Rowena was shocked and asked. Gracie smiled and explained. “Yeah, last night but I could not even ask you because you were upset. Are you considering it?” Gracie asked, hoping that Rowena would and knowing that Jaxon would not mind moving Alice to the packhouse with them. Rowena was unsettled, feeling that if she moved to the packhouse, returning to Canada would be difficult for her. “Let’s see him first.” Rowena said and the three of them began to walk away when Charles said from behind, “I’m coming with you. The three people stopped but only Jaxon turned around. Whiles Charles began to walk towards them, Clara said from behind,” “I’m coming too” Charles pursed his lips, as dissatisfaction dulled his eyes but before he could refuse after he turned around, Jason sternly said. “Sorry, this is a family matter and you can’t come along” He could not trust Clars for once and feared she would cause trouble for Rowena. As such, he could not allow it. He also planned that should Rowena agree to move to the packhouse, he would han Clara from coming there with or without Charles’ support. Clara could not accept being treated like an outsider, saying,” But I’m also family and I’ve slept in the packhouse a lot of times. Charles, are you leaving without me?” She turned to Charles for help, knowing that he would not refuse but sadly, her hopes crushed as Charles responded, “Clara, you have to understand. You know that my lather is not well. Rowena and Gracie are famous

doctors from Canada and my father asked to see them.” Tears blurred Clara’s eyes and they began to fall. “What? Do…Doctors?” She stammered, “Hmmm. So, you see, it’s not my fault but I will catch up to you at the officer Charles responded and began to walk towards Jaxon’s car since he did not bring his. Clara was stupefied and the embarrassment she laced today was too much for her. But was Charles kidding? Rowena? A doctor? She was about to ask the question before realizing that the four people were gone. 2/2
