Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 52

A boy around the age of eight was running as fast as his small legs could. He wasn’t even looking back and was running with all the dedication and passion in the world while chanting only one thing in his mind. But he could still hear the sound of those beasts running behind him howling scarily.

‘I have to survive. I will not let them destroy me. I have to survive to take revenge. I will take revenge for everything that is taken away from me. I will return and take my revenge.’

The more he reminds himself of those words, the faster his legs work in the dark night through the dangerous forest. He was running through the forest, cutting himself with the fallen branches here and there but he didn’t care. He soon noticed the road and a smile came up on his face. He was now at the other side of the city, far enough from that burning fire. Now he is safe or he thought so.

Soon a blaring sound came from his left and a blinding light came from the car which was approaching him at full speed. And within a few seconds….

“ALPHA!” Nathan raised his voice at last after trying to get his attention for the past two minutes and this worked as Dominic seemed to be out of the zone he was in.

Dominic looked at Nathan and Justin with a blank face with some past scars clearly expressed through that look and Nathan instantly knew what he was thinking. At that moment he regretted calling for his attention because it never brings anything good whenever he is back from the thoughts of the past.

They were discussing what to do with the recent rogue attacks around their area when he suddenly went silent. He got lost in the thoughts of the past.

“What?” Dominic asked in a dark tone which made a shiver pass through their spines.

His mood was already down as they forced him away from Athena and the memories of the past worsened it to some other level.

“Uhh, it’s okay. We will be back later when you are in a better mood.” Justin said and was going to excuse themselves from there but Dominic stopped him.

“You guys should be used to this mood by now.” Dominic stated in a blank which made the two men sigh. He was right. They should be used to it by now. But everytime they see that expression on his face, the pressure of that expression makes them cower away

“We can’t get used to it, King. It’s too difficult for us and it’s not only us, it’s hard for our pack members. And it’s going to be the same for Athena as well.” Nathan said, trying to hint to the fact that even though Athena was a rogue, she was not at fault in any of that.

He knows how Dominic can get whenever he remembers about his past. He doesn’t want things to get ruined again.

“Why are you guys here? Just about the rogue attacks?” He asked blankly, swiftly changing conversation. They didn’t drag it anymore after seeing the look on his face.

“Can’t wait for that day, alpha. Just need to find the rogue king. Things will settle back to normal in our lives again.” Justin added. “Now anything else you want us to do?” He asked after a few seconds of silence.

“Yes, does Stacey’s father know about the change of events?” He asked with a wicked smile.

“No, Alpha. Not yet.” Justin answered.

“How about we let him know? After all, he worked so hard for this which got ruined.” Dominic said, mentioning about not making Stacey the Luna anymore.

“That will be a pleasure alpha. I will make the arrangements right away.” Justin said with a smile.

“You can leave now.” He ordered in a blank tone while leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes.

They looked at his expressionless face. He understood that his mood was still dampened from the previous thoughts of the past. He wondered if there will be a time when those thoughts won’t bother him more and he will always be happy, always smiling.
