Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 62

“Which pack are you from? Who’s your father?” The man asked in a desperate tone, confusing everyone.

Athena looked at him blankly, not knowing what to answer. He wanted to know about her identity. But what identity did she have other than Ace’s mother and Dominic’s rejected mate?

Nothing!

Dominic, Nathan and Justin, they all were caught a little off guard by the question as well. It was his tone which was responsible for it, more than the question. So, even before anyone could think of anything to answer, Stacey took the initiative to answer.

“Oh sir, you are asking about her identity?” Stacey asked in a taunting tone before letting out a dry smile. “How would she answer that because she doesn’t have any identity! She is a rogue! Nothing else.” Stacey snapped, making everyone look at her in shock and anger, mostly Dominic and the other two men.

“What? A rogue?!” The council members, excluding the most senior one, shrieked out in shock and displeasure. “Stacey! What the hell are you talking about? Can you shut up?” Dominic hissed at her in frustration and annoyance while the other two glared at her. “What? Am I telling a lie? Athena? You tell me, am I lying? Can you deny anything that I just said?” She asked, taking everyone’s attention toward Athena.

At that moment, she was put into the spotlight. So, anything she says will be held against her in future. She has to choose her answer carefully. But what could she tell them at that moment other than telling the truth? Because she doesn’t know her real identity yet. She doesn’t know who she is yet. So, she still bears the identity of being a rogue. So, she decided that she was going to tell that only, because she was not ashamed of being a rogue earlier, nor was she going to be now. She thinks that she was a warrior not a rogue. Because surviving in this dangerous community without any support is no less than fighting a battle.

“No, I can’t deny what you just said because that’s the truth. I am a rogue. I have been a rogue as long as I could remember.”, She stated with her chin held high, with pride.

“No, that’s not possible. You can’t be a rogue because… because your blood....” The old man started to stammer as he was trying to make sense of everything he just got introduced with.

He wasn’t holding such a special and powerful position for no reason. He had some specialty in him which made him worthy of that position. Those specialty came from experience and blessing from the moon goddess. He could say that Athena was something different using that specialty only. “No, sir. That’s the truth. She is a filthy rogue which even she couldn’t deny and I have something else which she won’t be able to deny as well. Can I request for the permission to

“Thank you, sir! May I have the permission to bring my guest which will prove all the things I said about her earlier?” She asked once again while looking at Dominic this time. Because no matter how powerful the counsellors were, they were still in Dominic’s territory, they can’t do anything but abide by his commands here.

He looked at Athena to found her already looking at him. He asked for permission through his eyes and a small yet firm blink from her was enough for him. He nodded back at her before looking at Stacey with dark eyes and gritted teeth.

“I give you the permission to present whatever you have to show us.” He gritted those words out while his hand was fisted tightly under the table to keep his wolf in control. He was having a hard time doing that. “Thank you, Alpha Dominic. Trust me you won’t regret it.” She said with a smirk before standing up from her chair. She gave Athena a triumph look before clapping her hands to signal something “You can show yourself now.” She said, making everyone confused but soon they saw a shadowy figure coming into lights, taking a figure of a human body.

A witch!

Not some regular witch but someone who‘s connected deeply with Athena and... Ace!
