My Alpha Rejected Me for a Dare, So I Walked Away Chapter 05

My Mate, My Alpha

I snatch the consent form out of Logan’s hand and sign it myself.

When I hand it back, my fingers grab the healer’s sleeve. My voice is shaking.

“Please. How is he?”

“Don’t worry, Ma’am. It’s protocol to get a signature. He’s stable. You got him here fast. He’ll be moved to a recovery den soon.”

Her words crack something open in me. My legs almost give.

I turn around – and finally really look.

Two Alphas. Facing each other. The air between them is crackling with aura, thick enough to choke

on. Logan’s fur is practically standing on end.
Logan stares at Kael, disbelief all over his face.

“Who the hell are you?”

I step to Kael’s side. Wrap my arm around his, claiming him in front of everyone.

I look Logan dead in the eye.

“This is Kael Nightridge. My mate.”

“Alpha of the Nightridge Pack.”

“He’s the only father Asher has.”

Kael’s expression is murderous. But when his eyes slide down to me, they soften.

“Don’t be scared, my Luna. I’ve got this.”

–

That look – soft, possessive, *mate* — is what snaps Logan.

He grabs my arm, trying to yank me toward him.

“Clara! What the hell are you saying!”

“Asher is obviously my pup!” He jabs a finger at Kael. “Is this some male you hired? Did you bring him here just to mess with me?”

I slap him again. Hard. My palm print blooms red across his cheek.

“Logan.”

—

“You better pray my pup walks out of there without a scratch. If he doesn’t I swear on the Moon Goddess, you and Vivian will pay with your lives.”

My whole body is trembling with rage. My wolf is snarling under my skin.

Out of nowhere, Kael kicks Logan in the stomach. Full force.

Logan doubles over, stumbling back two steps.

“Logan Blackthorn. If anything happens to my pup – I’ll burn the Blackthorn Pack to the ground. Every last one of you.”

Vivian rushes over to hold Logan up. She turns on me, outraged.

“Clara! What is this?!”

“Weren’t you waiting around for Logan to re–mark you?” She looks Kael up and down, suspicious.

Kael isn’t flashing rank or title – he doesn’t need to. His Alpha aura alone is suffocating. Heavier than anything Logan could ever push out. Every werewolf in the hallway has their heads bowed,

shoulders hunched, on pure instinct.

Even Vivian, entitled little she–wolf that she is, can feel it. She knows she’s looking at something far

above Logan.

“And now you’re saying you’ve *mated* this one?!”

She laughs, bitter and sharp.

“Everyone knows you were Logan’s pathetic little shadow! That’s the only reason he ever marked

you!”

“When he rejected you, the pup was barely a moon old in your belly. Asher is two years old. The math works! He *is* Logan’s pup!”

“Did you trick this wolf into believing you?!”

Logan straightens up, latching onto her words like a lifeline.

“Asher is my pup.”

“Clara, I didn’t think you’d go this far!” He glares at Kael, disdain dripping off every word.

“I don’t know where you dug up this male, but I get it. It’s been three years.”

“You love me so much, you must’ve been lonely out of your mind.”

*The thron voare am un I’m telling you right now – I’ll novor roinct you again”

“You love me so much, you must’ve been lonely out of your mind.”

“The three years are up. I’m telling you right now – I’ll never reject you again.”

“For our pup’s sake, calm down. Stop making a scene.”
