Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 13

Rowena must have tendered her resignation letter but due to her position, it was not easy for her to leave just like that, especially when she planned on returning to Canada very soon. Aside being known as the best doctor, she was also addressed as the most beautiful doctor they ever met.

ammers and facial features.

After discussing with Jason and both coming to terms and agreement, Rowena and Gracie took the next step in their decision by submitting their resignation letters to the hospital they worked. Jason was saddened but since it involved his sister, he encouraged Rowena to hasten things. However, Rowena’s immediate boss was the one most hit by the news.

“Resignation letter? Why Miss Rowena Stone?” Her boss asked, feeling deflated. He knew that good opportunities knock on doors but with the benefit packages they gave Rowena, it was unexpected. Rowena was slightly guilty because of how this man was good to her, even in the beginning when she was not so good. He was her greatest mentor through all her attachments programs

“I have to travel to a far place. To my mother. She needs me,” Rowena gulped and said in a thin voice. She feared by how Jason mounted pressure on her that something might happen to her mother if she did not arrive on time. She had not sent a response to her mother to inform her of her coming, since the woman might insist on Jaxon coming to get her at the airport. Rowena knew it without asking because of the constant mentioning of that name in every letter.

“Have her come over. Management will take care of all the expenses,” her boss promised her and Rowena was greatly moved, her eyes were moist. Before now, only her mother and uncle cared but since she moved to Canada, she had felt love from so many people, she would not have left if her mother was not sick. That woman gave her everything and she loved her with her every breath.

“I tried but she refused to leave her hometown. I haven’t seen her in eight years and she’s sick.” Rowena explained in plain terms, seeing how the man cared. Hearing that her mother was sick, even her boss held back the next package he wanted to use to plead with her to stay. At first, he thought it was because she had an opportunity in a different hospital and was just creating an excuse like most people did but hearing the details of the matter, his bit back the urge to talk about the incentive package.

“Awww, Miss Stone, you are one of our best doctors. I’m so sorry of mother,” he managed to say before adding, “but since you are there, I believe that she would recover soon.”

“I know, which is why I’m sorry.” Rowena said seriously.

“Is it the reason why Gracie is resigned too?” Her boss asked. Gracie was also a very good doctor but Rowena could be marked as excellent.

“I’m sorry but yes. She wants to be with me,” Rowena said honestly.

“Is there a chance that you will be back?” Her boss asked with hope. He was a man in his early forties. Rowena smiled, being certain that she would return as soon as her mother got better. She would just spend some extra days to convince her to come with her.

“Yes. As soon as my mother gets better, I shall return but I don’t want to give false hopes since I don’t know how long it’s going to take. It’s also the reason why I tendered a resignation instead of a long leave,” Rowena thoughtfully explained.

Her boss sighed. In the end, he extended his hand to her and said. “There will always be a place for you here in Easten hospital. Thanks to you, our hospital is ranked as number one in Canada.”

Rowena shook his hand and responded, “And it will remain that way. I am very grateful for all the love and support you have shown me.”

“Have a fruitful break, Miss Stone, you shall be greatly missed.”

“Thank you.”

Later that day, they had a send off party for Rowena and Gracie. The friends had already booked their flights and left from the hospital to the airport. No matter how Rowena tried, the pain from the past just won’t go away.

She breathed in and out, assuring herself that as soon as her mother was fine, she would leave together with her to Canada, never to return to the pack again. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Gracie asked for the last time. Rowena sighed before she responded, “It’s the right thing to do.”

After that conviction, they both boarded the flight. Upon arrival in north America airport, after the twelve hours flight. Ariana began to feel very strange emotions which lasted throughout their train ride. Suddenly, her fears from before came rushing in and she vowed to not let anyone see her until she left. Due to that, they would you the back of the pack entrance that led them straight to the omegas community without going through the pack.

At the packhouse, Jaxon was restless. Charles was equally worried, as one of the Epsilons of the pack came to see the old Alpha. The Epsilons are the older wolves who are in the highest range of the pack’s middle ranks. They are usually very intelligent and wise. The younger epsilons are the ones who are usually promoted to the stands of a Beta, should they lose one during a war. This epsilon, was also known to have a gift from which he could see what would happen in the future or what had happened before. Since all doctors had failed, Charles suggested it and Jaxon agreed.

“Alpha Clinton, don’t you think it’s time to let everyone know what you are carrying inside? This is between you and the moon goddess,” the old epsilon said after a long pause. Both Jaxon and Charles gave their full attention but Alpha Clinton refused to respond, asking Jaxon.

“You said before that Rowena sent those medications. Can you have her come over?” He coughed a little. He was always weak and would have seizures from time to time. However, all test done, only came out negative. Sometimes, he would burn and suddenly cool down. His appetite dwindled from time to time as well so he was growing lean. Hearing the name Rowena, Charles felt a somewhat twin kling in his heart. That was strange. The mate bond was broken so what was wrong with him? Also, he was not as irritated of hearing the name as he did years ago.

“I’m trying dad, its not easy. She is very happy in Canada and has not responded to her mother’s last letter. I will see Alice again tonight to get Rowena’s location in Canada. I will go and plead with her to come back,” Jaxon assured him, seeing the faith he had in Rowena. The epsilon stared at them in awe.

“Are you talking about the omega Rowena who was rejected by Beta Charles?”

“Yes.” Jaxon agreed. The old epsilon smiled and said, “I always knew there was something special about that girl but I still can not pin point exactly what it is.”

After that, he said no more but Alpha Clinton turned to his side on the large bed and said to Jaxon, “I don’t want to see anyone else but her.”

“What?” Both Jaxon and Charles Exclaimed together. The old Alpha raised his brows and said, I meant what I said. Everyone, leave me alone,” his voice was low but carried authority.

Since he had said so, no one could kick against it. One by one, they sauntered out of his room. Jaxon had not even had his supper so he began to run to the omega’s community. If anything, he had to leave for Canada tonight, using his private jet.

When he reached Alice’s house, dinner was ready as usual but seeing Jaxon’s sunken mood, Alice was disturbed. “What happened?” She asked seriously.

“My father sent everyone away. He does not want to see anyone except Rowena.”

“Why?” Alice asked, disturbed.

“One of the old epsilons came by earlier. He said that this was a case between my father and the moon goddess. I saw my father pale at the information before he demanded to see Rowena. Please give me her location and I will leave at once,” Jaxon pleaded. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I will give it to you but please eat first,” Alice encouraged him. Since she did not refuse, Jaxon’s heart warmed and they began to eat as usual. Midway through, Alice excused herself and returned with an envelope which held Rowena’s address in Canada, asking.

“Will this help?”

Jax began to jump excitedly, ‘Mate! Our mate!’ Jaxon smiled feeling that his wolf was just excited of meeting their second chance mate again. He stood up and hugged Alice but just as he pulled away, green familiar eyes held his gaze. It was as if

time stood still, as both Jax and Row said at the same time,

“Mate!!”
