Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 3

Three days ago.

Jaxon was driving to the office when he received a call. It was from his private investigator so he connected it to the car speaker whiles he drove leisurely. “Sir, your wife is cheating on you.” A screech was heard, as his legs pressed hard on the break. Cars began hon king behind him so he removed his foot from the break pedal to the accelerator and pulled over at the shoulder of the road. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Shut the f**k up Terry, my wife will never do that,” he yelled like a mad man. He trusted his wife but only hired the private investigator because his wife has been behaving strangely of late. He felt she was in some kind of trouble and did not want to bug him since he was very busy with the new company, which was flourishing quite well. Jaxon was not expecting this and neither was he willing to believe it.’

“Sir, it’s been going on for three months. If you go home right now, you will see it for yourself. If I am telling lies, you can put a gun to my head and I won’t fight back,” the detective said seriously at the other side of the line. It did not sound like he was fibbing, for which reason Jaxon was scared. He loved Beverly, his human wife so much and sacrificed his pack and wolf

for her.

He lived among humans for three years because of her and never let his wolf out to not scare her. She knew though that he was not human but with her, he gave up everything. Even the company he set up was all because of her. For her future and that of their unborn children. Worse was the fact that she was two months pregnant, for which reason he did not want her to work to not stress her out. Jaxon was so pained that he could not cry. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel as if it was going to break. Without another word, he hangs up the phone.

Jaxon did a U-turn but did not driving into his penthouse. Rather, he packed outside and walked in. He also saw a strange car parked at his garage, which forced him to believe what the detective was saying but he still wanted everything to be false. Reaching the living room, there were clothes sca t tered on the floor. He recognized that of his wife and his heart felt hot as if it was on a coal of fire. He got to the bedroom and halted in front of the door, listening to the voices and conversation ongoing.

“We can’t continue like this. I’m married now and Jaxon is a very good man. I’m also pregnant. Someone would suspect our affairs and know that the child is not for my husband. I will lose everything.” Jaxon heard his wife saying.

“But I’m your first love. I hurt you but I came back. Does he do it better than me?” The voice of a strange man responded.

Wife: “This is not right. Jaxon left everything for me.”

Stranger: “But you him.”

still love me. If not, you would not have allowed me every time I came here. I know that I’m better than

Wife: “You are not better than him. He is just busy because his company is new. He was very happy about the pregnancy.”

Stranger: “You don’t have to feel guilty. The child you are carrying is mine. I am just patient because he would put everything under our child’s name. So let him take care of the company whiles I take care of you.”

Wife: “Arrhhhhhh, harder and faster,” she moaned.

Jaxon had heard enough. He opened the door slowly and stood at the entrance. Even without any noise, the man turned to the side and saw his frame at the door. He froze instantly but the woman did

not know what had happened and asked, “Why did you stop? I said faster,” Jaxon’s wife, Beverly said. Getting no response, she opened her eyes and froze as well.

Jaxon did not utter a word. He walked out and never returned again. No man would be this calm upon seeing his wife naked, allowing another man to take her from behind. No wonder she no longer pestered him for it. She was always satisfied before he got home.

Two days later, Berverky went to his office to beg him to return home but he looked at her coldly and said, “I Jaxon Clinton, reject you, Beverly Wise, as my fated mate.” The mark on his neck which the humans he worked with thought to be a tattoo, disappeared instantly.

Jaxon did not care. He knew that if he found his second chance mate and marked her, his rejection of Beverly would be completed and his mark on her would disappear. The only reason he was still in Canada was because he was selling of all assets and moving the money into his personal account.

By the time Beverly got home, she was met with the news that the penthouse had been sold and was not allowed in again. When she returned to Jaxon’s office, she was met with a new CEO, who said that Jaxon had sold everything to him and left. Beverly could not trace Jaxon’s whereabouts because he was headed to his hometown to take care of the pack which was his responsibility before he met her.

Throughout Jaxon’s drive from the airport, his phone kept ringing and knowing it was Beverly, he removed the sim card and threw it away. If Jaxon loved, it was with all his heart but if he was done, nothing would change his mind.

Before he reached the pack, the pain of the betrayal was so much that he lost focus on the road and almost hit a woman. He got down from the car to apologize but as soon as he touched her, the only word that escaped him was,

“Mate.” His wolf, Jax, was suddenly awake again after being shut down for three good years. Jaxon knew that Jax would be very weak now. He would have to be let out more often to regain his strength and energy but it was nice hearing from his wolf again. So, refreshing.

The woman looked into his eyes and all he saw was bitterness, pain, and sadness before she pulled her hand away and began to run, with her duffel bag. It happened too fast that before he recovered and realized what had happened, she had already boarded a taxi and was gone.

He felt that the woman belonged to his pack because he had seen her before. Perhaps she was younger by then because he left the pack three years ago when he turned eighteen and found his mate on his way to take care of some business with humans. His mate was human, for which reason he sacrificed everything for her but it was not worth it.

“Do you know who she is?” Jaxon asked again, taking his father’s resistance to mean the he indeed knew her.

Alpha Clinton was Conflicted. What if Jaxon was going to reject her too? In the end, the told the truth. “Yes, she is an omega and destined to your junior brother but he rejected her. I didn’t know that the moon goddess would chain her to you,” he pointed out, waiting for him to spit his disgust but rather, he saw Jaxon smile as hope shone in his eyes. Could it be what he was thinking?

“So, she’ll be back, right?” Jaxon asked seriously. Alpha Clinton was helpless but also happy. Since Jaxon did not mind that his second chance mate was an omega, then he worries would be washed away.

“I don’t know but I was just going to her house. Perhaps we could talk to her mother,” Alpha Clinton said, earning a broader smile from Jaxon. He had not even settled but was eager to see that girl before anything else but Charles was disgusted and asked.

“Wait, so you want an omega as a mate?” Charles had returned after sending the pack members away, promising them that Jaxon would be introduced to them at the appropriate time. He stood at the door for sometime and heard a few things which did not make him happy.

“Little bro, the moon goddess does not make mistakes,” Jaxon smiled and spoke. He was in a good mood because he was going to see the girl again,

“So, what happened to your human mate?” Charles asked curiously.

“She cheated on me so I rejected her. Dad, can we go now?” Jax responded to Charles and asked his father desperately.

“Of course,” his father said and began to lead the way but Charles was even more upset, asking mockingly,

“If the moon goddess does not make mistakes, then why did she give you a cheating mate? Or did she not know?” Both his father and elder brother glared at him with a look which forced him to shut his mouth.

Jaxon entered his car and his father sat at the passenger side. What he did not expect was for his junior brother to join, since he was against going to the omega’s community. Because Jaxon’s car was one of a kind and not the usual ones used in the pack, it drew attention, especially when they arrived at their destination.

A woman sat on the stairs; her hands supported her jaws whiles she stared into space. She was startled by the foot steps and

her eyes widened at the sight of the people who had come. Is it because Rowena had refused to go and clean the pack house? That must be the reason why they are here. Aside from leaning, she means

nothing to them

“Alpha, Beta. She did not know how to address Jaxon since the latter had been away and not yet been given a title.

“Alice, how are you? Is Rowena there? Can I see her? I owe her an apology on behalf of my son.” Alpha Clinton said all at once, Charles was disgusted by this politeness towards an omega. Was it because she was elderly. She was still an omega. His sudden detest for Rowena cascaded down to every pack member of that rank.

Alice forced a smile. “It’s too late, Alpha. Rowena left this morning and she said she is never coming back.”
