51 - I Feel Rejected Graham : " What ? " I asked her in bewilderment . I wanted her to repeat herself because I swore I had heard her wrong . " Graham , I don't want anyone to find out , " she repeated , louder and clearer this time , shocking me . " You don't want anyone to find out that I'm mates with you ? " I asked , trying to be sure , trying to understand if she was really that embarrassed to be my mate . " You don't understand , Graham . I don't want anyone to talk about us . And neither do I want- " She paused , looking away . " No , say it . You don't want me as your mate .

Is that it ? " I asked , my heart pounding in my chest . It stung deeply that she didn't want to be with me . " Think whatever you want , " she replied . " But the truth is , we need to make sure this whole thing just ends and ... " She gasped suddenly, slapping her forehead . " Oh gosh , how will your wife react to this ? " " Is that it ? Are you worried about my wife ? " I asked , trying to figure out what was running through her mind . " No , Graham , it's not just your wife . You need to understand , I have a husband too , " she started , making me roll my eyes .

I didn't know why she kept lying about having a husband . I knew the truth , she was a single mother . But why wasn't she happy to know that I was her mate ? It took me back to when she used to wait desperately for my response . She had a crush on me once and wanted me to accept her , but I didn't . I had my reasons , but there were moments when I could have texted her and let her know how I felt , but I didn't . I should have tried harder because , over the years , she might have built some resentment toward me . Or maybe she had just stopped loving me .

So it wasn't really her fault that she seemed done with the idea . But I never thought she would be so upset to find out that we were mates . "Anyway , can you please go and tell them that we're not ready to give any interviews right now ? I need to get back to my suite , change into my own clothes , and gather my thoughts first , " she said , looking tired as she headed toward the bathroom . I stood still , feeling rejected . Was this how she had felt when she found out that we didn't want the babies ? I seemed to be in her place now rejected and unwanted . Then my phone started to beep .

Seeing Kaylee's name flash on the screen already felt like bad news . The timing couldn't have been worse . " Hello ? " I greeted as I picked up the call , but she immediately began throwing a tantrum . " So you're not at the pack next town ? You lied to me just so you could go and be with that whore ? " she shouted through the phone , sniffling and gasping for air . " Calm down , Kaylee . And how many times have I told you not to use that word for her ?, " I warned her , but it only made her angrier . 1/3 111 Peyton +25 Bonus " I want you back right now . Right now !

" she screamed into the phone . I could hear my father grunting and arguing with Mr. Robinson in the background , demanding to know how he didn't realize where I had gone . But he couldn't have known , I hadn't told him which pack I was heading to . " I'm not going back until I'm done with this task . You heard me , Kaylee , and stop trying to control me , " I hissed , reminding her that controlling me wouldn't work anymore . I could hear the shock in her voice on the other end of the line . But as soon as I saw Madeline come out of the bathroom , I instantly ended the call to face her .

" Who was it ? " she asked , her wet hair clinging to her shoulders . " No one . No one important , " I replied , gesturing for her to stay back so I could tell the others we weren't ready for an interview yet . I stepped out and told them it was inappropriate for them to show up like this , and that they needed to wait until we were back home . Madeline had children she needed to check on . They apologized and left , but I wasn't sure they understood what they had done .

Sadly , I was worried about how Madeline would react once she found out that my wife had already called angry because she'd seen something on the live broadcast . Still , I wasn't sure what exactly had been shown or what the cameras had caught , things I couldn't check in front of Madeline . It would only frighten her . 3 After I was sure the reporters had left , I walked Madeline out of the cabin and took her to my car . I had a bad feeling that sooner or later , people would start coming after us , trying to take pictures and follow our every move .

So I hurried her along and helped her into the passenger seat . I started the car and drove back to her hotel . During the ride , my phone kept buzzing with calls from Kaylee and my father . I even received a few texts from my father , threatening that if I didn't answer his calls , things wouldn't go well for me in the future . But I was an Alpha now and I was the future . Five years had passed , and Kaylee still hadn't given him an heir . So now I had the right to marry someone else and finally give him one .

What he didn't realize , though , was that he had never added Madeline's name to that clause . He never said I wasn't allowed to marry her next . But the real problem was Madeline herself . She didn't seem interested in me , and that hurt . She had a crush on me once , so I knew it wouldn't be long before she fell for me again . As soon as we arrived at the hotel , I noticed a few warriors standing near the entrance . I guessed Baxter had placed them there in case any of the kids ' sickness got worse . We opened the door and stepped inside .
