Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 46

THE NEXT MORNING

Athena woke up with the sound of a bird chirping and the bright sunlight coming from the open window made her go blind..

Who opened the window? She remembers it being closed last night. She slowly sat up by leaning against the headboard.

Was it Dominic?

She looked around to find the sight of him and found the room empty. She frowned a little seeing that. As far as she remembers, he was here till the end of the night. She woke up once again at night and found him sleeping beside her. He was sitting down but his head was kneeled down beside him, on the bed.

She was lost at that moment, just like she is lost now. She didn’t know what to feel at that moment. She didn’t know what to feel toward the situation, toward everyone and toward… Dominic.

She was in confusion and in defence. The defence was to save herself from feeling something stupid. Because Dominic’s change of behaviour was making her feel weird again.

She knew she shouldn’t be feeling nice by what he was doing. But the way he was taking care of her and even acknowledged her as his mate, that felt like getting the moon in her hands. Even though she was still his rejected mate!

How desperate, insecure and weak she was!

Her defence was getting weak and her emotions were all over the place. That’s because of her wolf. She couldn’t feel her wolf anymore which is why she was in a mess. She was a mess.

‘Can you hear me? Please reply once. Please. I am nothing without you. Please reply. Tell me what I can d o to get you back. Please tell me. She requested but her request met the blank space in her mind, making her sigh. She didn’t even feel like crying.

Her wolf was her only companion since forever. She was always there for her. Always. Maybe that be in a moment when she was sad, her wolf would come and give a sassy response which would be enough to make her smile. Or whenever she was in danger, they both fought it bravely together.

Now that she can’t feel her anymore, she felt like her soul left her. She feels empty inside. She suddenly felt the air closing on her. She clutched the bed sheet tightly to get control over her sudden anxiety. She felt suffocation. She needed help. She needed something which could make her feel happy and normal again, She needed-…

“Mommy! Good morning!”

She jerked out of her thoughts at the sound of her son’s voice and she immediately felt at peace. She felt her lungs getting filled with oxygen again and a smile came up on her face. She looked at Ace and found him running toward her at full speed,

“Good morning, sunshine! Careful! Don’t jump!” She warned with a smile, knowing very well that it was fruitless. Because in the morning, no one can stop energetic Ace from meeting his mother. He jumped on the bed and then jumped in her open and welcoming arms.

“What do you mean, baby? She didn’t put you to sleep because of any reason. She put you to sleep because it was your bedtime and I was busy, so I couldn’t put you to sleep. Hence she did that.” Athena explained with a sweet smile but the confused look from her son didn’t go yet.

“But aunt Suzy always puts me to sleep whenever you are hurt.” He said in a confused yet confused tone.

“What do you mean?” She asked with a frown.

“She always tells me that ‘mommy is hurt, baby. You need to sleep’. And I immediately fall asleep. Magically.” Ace exclaimed with astonished eyes, making Athena really confused.

It’s not possible for her smart son to make up things. Then what’s going on?

“Are you sure Aunt Suzy did that?” She asked with a frown.

“What did aunt Suzy do, hm?”
