Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 127

Levi was not ready for war yet, afraid that he might unknowingly kill his mate since he also did not know the kind of treatment being meted out to her wherever she was

Levi was greatly pained by this knowledge, and it made Caesar restless. He even regretted trying to kill the she–wolf after realizing all that e had been through.

Since Levi had not yet found his mate, he refrained from immediate war, feeling that the Aqua pack might seek help from other packs. as not dead.

Now, he was also certain that his mate was

Hearing from Alpha Kizito, Adalyn was not supposed to leave the pack but had sucked out.

Levi’s heart feared even more, filled with the certainty that his mate was going through worse.

The brothers lay on the bed lost in thought until the food was ready.

In Philip’s room, Gracie helped Adalyn have her bath, her actions gentle as she dried her hair and gave her some of her clothes, which were still too big on Adalyn because she was too skinny.

Gracie did not think it would be righ introduce her to the pack yet.

to take her shopping until she got better and even though to inform Philip to not

She did not want those desperate she–wolves to pass rude comments about Adalyn because of her bony features,

Most of the she wolves were crushing on the Alpha and his larta, hoping that one of them would eventually be their sites, and she did not want the situation with Clara to repeat itself.

“Everything will be fine now that we found you. You don’t have to worry about anything, Gracie spoke comfortingly while combing Adalyn’s hair.

Adalyn smiled, but tears gathered in her eyes instantly since she had never experienced anyone being so good to her for the past ten years.

“Thank you, Mom.”

Gracie frowned a little. “Mom, not ma’am,” she carrected her. Adalyn smiled through tears.

She had never smelled so good in a long tar and could not believe that she was now a member of the Snow Mountain Pack.

Also, her mute’s mother was very nice to her

“Thave a mother again,” she said dreamily. Gracie embraced her and agreed.

“Yes, you love a mother again an

I will take very good care of you.”

She remembered Rowena and smiled, “you have to meet your mate’s grandparents. His aunt and uncle are away in Canada but will be back in a few days.”

She saw that Adalyn looked afraid and guessed that she feared being rejected or looked down upon, thereby assuring her, “don’t worry. They will love you too, okay?”

“Okay.” Adalyn smiled and responded, glad that she was not going to face embarrassment like she did in the Aqua pack. Gracie pulled away, ran her fingers through Adalyn’s long hair, and looked at her admiringly, happy with the result of getting her cleaned up.

“You look better than before, so let’s fill that stomach of yours.”

Adalyn smiled and followed her. The nightie was not transparent, and because it was big on her, it hid her skeletal form.

Her lung lay covered her arms and facial cavities, so there would be no suspicions among the older members of the pack house as in what was happening.

Everybody was seated licfore Gracie descended the stairs. They had taken Junger than expected, but everybody waited for them.

Old Alpha Chamon smiled at the sight of Adalyn and asked,

“Is she Levi or Philip’s mate!”

He was expecting more members to join the family since Levi and Philip turned eighteen, so upon seeing a new face, he was Very happy.

“She’s my mate, grandpa,” Pailip answered and stood up to meet Adalyn halfway, leading her to sit beside him. “Her name is Adalyn from the Aqua park.”

Alice looked at Adalyn and shook her heal. “You don’t look well. Have you not been eating? You look malnourished.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She was worried to see the girl like that. As a mother, it was not hard for her to detect, even when Adalyn was looking better than she was when she arrived.

The old Alpha had not noticed, but only after Alice had said it. Alice had taken care of Rowena from childhood and also taken care of both Levi and Philip, for which reason she could easily tell that there was something wrong

“My child, what happened to you?” Okl Alpha Clinton asked, and Philip responded on her behalf, anger lacing his voice, “She was treated as a servant by the same people who killed her parents. She’s starved for days and not even granted access to shower.”

Alpha Clinton was enraged but knew that his grandsons would take care of it.

Charles felt a little guilty, remembering how he had treated Rowena before upon hearing Adalyn’s story, but Alice was eveni more disturbed and said,

“Poor child, don’t eat that. It would disturb your stomach. Give a few minutes, and let me make something else for you” Alice left the table, and her actions brought tears to Adalyn’s eyes. When Philip saw it, be comforted her.

“Don’t worry, Adalyn, you shall be nourished back to life, okay!”

Fear and relief blended together, lacing his heart as he thought about what would have happened if they had traveled to Canada like his uncle Jaxon wanted, instead of being at the Comet pack.

Adalyn would have died. Everybody waited until Alice brought a different soup for Adalyn before they all began to eat. “This is nutritious and would also be gentle on your stomach. Your body might not be able to digest all that they are eating. so you shall have this for a few days before you begin eating normal food Alice said in a gentle tour.

She already had experience with harsh treatment, for which reason she felt the pain most. Seeing Adalyn reminded her of all their sufferings in this same pack before Jason’s return

“Thank you, grandma Adalyn smiled and said as Alice smiled and encouraged her,

“Drink up, there is more. The more you are able to take in, the better.”

Adalyn drank three bowls of soup by the time they finished eating as Levi asked Charles,

“Uncle Charles, do you know when mom and dad will be back?” He had no idea why he was suddenly missing his parents. Even when he was younger, lie never missed them on any of their travels. Also, he was considering going to Canada after checking one last pack in the search for his mate.

If his mate was not in that pack, then he would not hold back since Philip would no longer be there for him in the evenings to keep him company.

Since they were both unmated before, things were easy, but now, he understood that Philip had a great responsibility. especially in the evenings when Levi needed him the most to avoid the torture from Caesar.

“They said they wouldn’t take more than four days,” Charles smiled and revealed. Levi nodded his head, his face devoid of any kind of emotions

“Alright, good night.”

“Levi,” Philip called out before he reached the stairs. They were used to sharing the same bed most times, so he was equally worried, but Levi walked back and patted him on the shoulder, knowing what was alling him.

“Take care of your mate. I will be fine.”

Everyone knew that he would not be fine, and Philip had in mind to go and check on him after Adalyn falls asleep

When they went back to the bedroom, Adalyn was reluctant to join Philip on the beil, choosing to rather sleep on the couch, so he had to coglier

“This is where you shall be spending the rest of your night. The bed belongs to both of us now, but I promise to not touch you until you gain some weight.”

Adalyn was not sure if it was a good or bad thing, but remembering when she saw Philip bare–chested with only a towel around his waist, he looked hunky, and she was afraid that she would not be able to satisfy him or might even die

This was a great relief but also a problem for her since the mating process would not be completed.

“So, you won’t mark me?” She asked starepishly. Philip beckoned her misit on the bed before he spoke,

“Twill, but not now. I don’t know how your body will take it, but as soon as you are better, we can do all that,” he assured her before pulling her into his arms and hugging her tightly.

“Tam so happy that I found you today, and I’m sorry for not being there for you. I don’t know what would have happened to me lost you.”

Adalyn smiled, certain that he didn’t resent her for her looks and felt better.

She lay on the bed, and Philip wrapped his arms around her, his wolf excited, as they both fell asleep. An hour later, he sneaked out to go and see Levi, but upon reaching the door, Levi said,

“I’m fine, go to your mate.”

Philip shook his head and went to sit on his bed. “Until you find your mate, I will always be here for you.”

Levi did not respond, but neither did he send him away.

In Toronto, Canada, Jaxon and Rowena were at the lawyer’s office earlier than stipulated.

Graciously, the lawyer was already there since he was expecting then

“Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, what kind of food do you eat? You don’t age at all, the lawyer remarked before going to shake both of their hands.

Jaxon smiled and replied, “We eat the same things, but our bodies process them differently.”

The lawyer smiled, not reading nuraning into Jaxon’s words. But knowing that Jaxon had always been a very busy man, he spoke directly. “The young man got here early but went to get his adopted sister. Let me call him.”

The lawyer picked up his phone to make a call, but at the same time, a knock was heard on the door and a tall handsome man entered, followed by a timid and shy girl.

She had blonde hair like Rowena, but merely seeing her, both Jaxon and Rowena felt strange. The girl was not human, so what was she doing in the laman world as little Jason’s adopted sister?
