? Xander
I followed her down the hallway and pushed her back against the wall.
“Get off me, Xander; what are you doing?”
“I am doing the only thing I should have done five years ago.”
“I, Alpha King Alexander Jackson Black, reject you, Gina Stone, as my mate and Luna.”
Her eyes were shocked by my statement, and her mouth was open to say something, but nothing came out.
“Why do you hate being mated with me?”
” Am I not going to be enough for you.”
“Yes, I hate you. I hate the sight of you or being near you. Even though you are not a human, I don’t want you. Accept my rejection now! .”
I know deep down I still want her; I crave her attention, and I am lusting over her.
But I can’t accept her back; I don’t trust her with my heart; she broke it once, and I don’t want to get hurt again.
“I, Gina White, accept Alexander Jackson’s black rejection,” “and tears slid down her face. Why is she acting sad? She’s the one who left without a word. My train of thoughts was interrupted by a cute voice.
“Mommy Kilyan’s tummy is hurting; he can’t sleep.”
I looked down to see a baby version of Gina, followed by two copies of me.
Wait, why do I feel a pull toward them? Why do I feel the urge to protect them? And why do I feel a fatherly bond between us?
“They are our pups, Xander; I can feel them; we have three pups; can you believe it? We are dads to triplets?” Xavier is happily jumping in my mind.
“Are they my kids?”
“We will talk about that later; I need to take Kilyan to the pack’s doctor.”
“Mommy, who is this man?” the little guy asked, hiding behind his mother’s legs.
“His mommy’s friend,” she said.
I snorted at her words.
“I will go with you.”
“No, no need for that; it’s late; you are leaving now and will talk tomorrow.”
“I insist.” I clenched my teeth, trying not to burst out in front of the kids.
“Okay, I will call my grandpa Jerry to stay with the kids until we get back.”
So King Jared is her grandfather. She needs to explain everything to me before I lose my sanity.
After 2 minutes, King Jared takes the kids, and we go to the kingdom hospital.
A nurse comes and bows her head to Gina and me, and she takes us to the doctor’s examination room.
“Good evening, your highness; how can I help you?” He bows and greets us.
“Kilyan’s stomach is hurting him; he throws up several times, and he has a fever.”
“Take a seat, your highness; I will run some tests and figure out the issue.”
Half an hour passed, and he came back with the results.
“Don’t worry, your highness, nothing serious, just a stomach flu.” “After taking some medication, he will be fine.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
“Here’s the medication; you give it to him three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”When we get back to his room, we find his siblings already sleeping.
We tuck him into his bed, he takes the medication, and he falls asleep.
“Gina, you have a lot to explain.”
“Xander, I am tired, and it’s late. I want to rest, go home, and we will talk to you tomorrow.”
“Okay, tomorrow, the first thing in the morning, I will be here; no running this time.”
“Okay,” she agreed.
She looks so vulnerable and beautiful right now, and all I want is to take her into my arms.
Why do I still feel the bond between us? I should hate her and feel nothing towards her, but why the fuck did I feel more connected to her?
The party is over; everyone is gone, including my family as well. Fuck, fuck, I forgot about Jessica; she will be mad at me, but I will worry about that later.
For now, all that is on my mind is the three pups, and I need to make sure they are my kids. If they are my pups, they will come and leave with me. I missed them for five years, and I won’t be apart from their lives anymore.
? Gina
I am in the living room at 2 a. m, drinking a bottle of red wine.
I couldn’t sleep after the rejection; my heart was shattered.
I thought after all these years he would accept me as his wife.
I thought after he knew I was not a human anymore, I’m now a strong Lycan queen, he would be proud of me, I’m no more that fat and ugly girl, I’m hot and sexy, he would love me.
But I was wrong; he will never accept me as his mate, whatever happens. He hates me! Gina.
I chugged the whole bottle and allowed myself to wallow in my pain and self-pity. I closed my eyes and saw a picture of his face looking at me with hatred and disgust. I let out a painful sob. I will allow myself this one night to grieve the loss of my mate, allowing for the last time the tears to come out because of the lost hope of a relationship between us.
As of tomorrow, it’s time to move on and step forward.
“Gina, sweetheart, why are you in the dark?”
crying?” “What happened?”
“He rejected me, grandpa, and I accept his rejection; we are no longer mates.” I sobbed, boiling my eyes out.
He pulls me in for a tight hug. “Sush, baby, I am the one to blame; if I didn’t invite him, none of this would have happened.”
“No, don’t take the blame; it will surely happen eventually. Now that I know how he feels about me, it’s over, but I am worried about the kids. Will he accept them or not? I don’t want them to get hurt.”
“I will kick his thick ass if he ever hurts them.” I giggled lightly at his response.
“He will be here at an early hour to demand answers from me.”
“I will be with you when he comes.”
“I need to face him alone.”
“Okay, but don’t hesitate to call me if he misbehaves.”
“Sure,” I said, kissing his temple.
“I love you so much.”
“Me too, baby. I will go to bed. It’s getting late. You need your beauty sleep.”
“Good night”
“Good night, sweetie.”
*In the morning*
I stood in front of the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. I looked gorgeous in my quintessentially Parisian ensemble of a pink tweed dress and nude pointed pumps by Chanel, with the same pink designer bag.
I let my chocolate hair loose; I kept my makeup very light-a thin layer of pink eye shadow, eyeliner with black mascara and peach blush powder, and finally pink lipstick-and I was ready to go.
I made my way out to the children’s room.
“Good morning, my babies,” I said, kissing their chubby cheeks.
“Good morning, mummy.”
“Kilyan, baby, how are you feeling today?”
“I feel so much better.”
“Good, I will call your nannies to take care of you; I have an early meeting, and when I get back after, we will spend time with each other.”
“Okay, mummy, have fun at work.”
“Yes, my little beans.”
Then I went to the kitchen to have my breakfast before Xander’s arrival.
I greeted the chef, “Good morning.”
He bows and says, “Good morning, your majesty.”
“I will bring your breakfast to the dining room.”
“Don’t bother, i will have my breakfast here”I gave him a small smile.
I finished my breakfast and headed to my office.
Seconds later, my beta mind-linked me .
“Your Majesty, King Alexander, has arrived.”
“Okay, let him in.”
My heart started to beat fast in anticipation of his arrival.
A knock on the door startled me.
“Come in.”
He takes a step towards me, and he takes my breath away with his fabulous looks.
“Good mor”
“Cut the crap!” he yelled.
“Whoa, still rude as usual, but I will pass only for my kids’ sake, but next time I will not tolerate it, and I won’t hesitate a second to throw you out of the palace.”
He rolled his eyes. “Thank you for your kindness, your highness,” he mocked.
“The triplets-are they mine?”
“Yes, we conceived them that night.”
“And you dared to hide them from me for five fucking years,” he said, slamming the desk too hard.
“Will you calm down and act like a civil person?
“He let out a hard laugh. “You left no room for a civil conversation between us the day you left me alone without a word in my room five years ago.”
“I was young and scared.”
“Sushh, I don’t want to hear your pathetic reasons; I want a DNA test to confirm that I am their father.”
“Sure, but you’re the father.” I was a virgin when we had sex, and I never slept with another man.”
He let out a low growl at the mention of another man touching me.
“I want to do it now.”
“Okay,” I said, taking from my desk drawer a small box containing my children’s hair strands, and taking our leaves to the Kingdom Hospital. He then takes the DNA test.
“I will email you the test results tomorrow.”
“Okay,” and he stormed out, not giving me a single glance.
I looked at his back as I left the place, and I blew some air. Things will be tough in the future. My phone rings. I pick up
“Hello, your highness, I’m the dragon prince.”Theodore.”
“Oh hi, how are you, your highness?”
“Good, thank you.” “I called you to see if we could arrange a meeting tomorrow if you are not busy.”
“Yes, we can; I have no meetings.”
“So see you tomorrow.”
“Okay, see ya.” I hung up and went to check on the kids.
