Worthless to Priceless The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 29

AMELIA’S POV

Kaden stood in front of me like an imposing statue. My hands were still in his and I could feel the weight of his stare like an ever watching hawk. The intensity of his gaze was enough to make even grown men squirm. He stared like he knew all your secrets and he could see through your skin and bones into the deepest parts of your heart and soul and like he could see even the things you struggled to hide.

I tried not to squirm in my seat but it was difficult especially because I couldn’t bring myself to look up at him. I could feel him boring a hole into me and I knew he wanted me to look up but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. His gaze and his hands holding mine was leading my entire being into an overdrive and I didn’t understand why that was happening.

Suddenly, I felt his grip loosen and I used that moment to pull my hands into my lap. It could still feel the pressure from his hold and somehow as I pulled my hands closer to myself, I felt cold. I almost missed the heat from his hold and I felt heat creep up my cheeks as the thought hit me like a freight train.

I realized in that moment that I needed to check these straying thoughts and emotions I felt when Kaden was concerned. He was the Alpha of the pack I wanted to join and it wasn’t just any pack. He was the Alpha of the Dark Fangs pack and his reputation preceded him. If he knew I had this thoughts he wouldn’t hesitate to end me.

The rumors that swirled about him were enough to make a grown warrior piss his pants. Kaden was like a predator and once he had his eyes set on you, it didn’t matter who

you were, you had become his prey. He would stop at nothing to ruin you and make sure that he completely destroys you.

There was a story about how Kaden slaughtered an entire group of messengers from a pack that he was at war with. The story was that the Alpha of the pack wanted to call an end to the war and had sent those messengers to broker peace. Kaden didn’t even listen to them and he killed all of them with his bare hands. There were over a dozen of them and they were bearing gifts and he killed them all. Within the next two weeks, he had completely obliterated the pack and merged their land with his.

That was apparently how he got the amount of land that he owned- he would raze entire packs and communities to the ground and take their land and people as his own. He was

the master predator and I needed to remind myself of that to clamp down on those raging emotions but it didn’t seem to discourage them. I could still feel the heat of his eyes and it made me squirm, but not in a terrible way.

Kaden cleared his throat in front of me and I finally snapped my eyes up at him. I flinched from the intensity behind his eyes and they softened considerably. I tried to look away but something about his eyes captivated me and pulled me in. It was almost like a black hole, the moment I looked, I was sucked in and I couldn’t look away.

“Is there anything else you think I should know?” he asked and at first I thought about the men from the border but I shook my head. “If anything happens or if you need anything. then do not hesitate to let me know.”

“I won’t,” I assured him and I saw the hint of a smile grow on his l*ps.

It disappeared almost immediately and for a second, I wondered if I had just imagined it. The corner of his l*ps twitched slightly as he took me in and I expected him to move back to his seat but he stayed leaning on the table in front of me and his legs brushed my knees. The action caused fireworks to erupt over my knees and in my belly but I forced myself to stay still and not jump.

I expected him to pull away but he didn’t. He kept our legs brushing against each other and I don’t know why but my heart started to beat a little faster. He cocked his head to the side as he watched me and I wondered if he could actually hear my heartbeat. I have heard about Alphas having better hearing, sight and strength than normal wolves. Judging by how powerful he is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he could hear it.

I had this sudden urge to fill the silence but I couldn’t force the words to leave my mouth. It was like I was tongue tied around him and the way he was staring at me. I wasn’t sure if he blinked once

during this short time. I hadn’t seen him blink and I know for a fact that he didn’t once look away from me because I never felt a reprieve from the heat of his gaze.

I concentrated my gaze on our legs that were pressed together. I could feel that he wanted. to speak, I could feel him tense but then, I heard a knock on the door. Just like that, the moment and the spell was broken. I heard Kaden clear his throat as he spoke to the person on the other side to come in.

I turned to the door and saw Caleb walk in. He looked at Kaden and I’s position but he didn’t say anything about it. I tried to read his expression but his face was carefully blank and Kaden finally rose from his position on the table.

“Caleb will take you home,” Kaden said to me. “But I need you to wait outside for him because I need to talk to him for a while.”

I nodded and took the dismissal for what it was. I brushed past Kaden and Caleb and I gently shut the door behind me. Before it closed, I saw Caleb wave his hands around as if he was trying to pass

a point across. I wanted to know what they were discussing but I also knew that it was none of my business.

The guard at the door of the office led me towards the waiting room. I had totally forgotten about Lucy being there until I saw her sitting there with a mirror in front of her as she reapplied her makeup. She didn’t look up as I walked in but I knew that she had sensed my presence because I saw her frown slightly.

I took the only empty seat in the room which was directly opposite her and I watched as she carefully applied her l*pstick. No one would look at Lucy and think she was anything. other than beautiful. She had naturally full l*ps, long legs that seemed to go on forever and a perfect figure. She was slim with a very defined waist and her features weren’t too big or small, they were directly proportionate to her b*dy.

Her dress seemed to make her breasts look even bigger and perky and I felt self conscious because I have never had perky breasts. Try as I could, I couldn’t look away from her. I guessed it was part of her charm to be unable to look away.

“Are you going to sit there staring at me?” she spat as she capped her l*pstick and I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment.

“Sorry,” I mumbled and she rolled her eyes but didn’t say a word. “You’re really beautiful and I love how you do your makeup,”

She finally looked up at me and she had an expression similar to annoyance and frustration as she stared at me. She looked at me like I was the dirt beneath her shoes and I felt my cheeks heat up as I looked away from her.

“I know I’m beautiful,” she said finally and out of the corner of my eyes, I saw her cross her legs in a way I can only describe as elegant. “What did you and Kaden talk about that took so long?”

I was shocked by the question and unsure of how to answer it at first. I blinked twice as she stared at me expectantly and I knew that no matter what I said, she would probably find

“Did

you not understand the question?”

“I did,” I said slowly. “He just wanted to make sure I was not a threat to the pack.”

She scoffed and then she burst out laughing. There was something dignified about her laughter but there was also an undertone of mocking. As if she couldn’t believe that I could be

any threat and she thought I was lying. When she was done laughing, she wiped a stray tear out of her eye and picked up a brush from her bag to fix the part of her makeup that was smudged by that single tear.

“How much damage can a wolf less female do?” she sneered at me as she fixed her makeup. “What did you really talk about? You can tell me, female to female.”

“There’s nothing to tell,” I said and her frown deepened. “He just wanted to make sure I was adjusting well and make sure I wans’t a threat.”

Something prevented me from telling her about the mind link. It felt like such an intimate moment and I didn’t want to share it. She probably already had her own experience with him about it and I didn’t want her to taint it with her own memories so I kept it to myself.

Her eyes narrowed at me as if she knew I was hiding something. She slowly arranged her makeup things back into her bag and she sat up straighter as her eyes bored into me. When Kaden did it, it was intense and it made me squirm in a good way but when she did it, it made me feel weird and it made my skin crawl. I would have done anything to make her stop looking at me.

Her phone rang and when she saw the name, her l*ps curled up in a cruel smile. She picked. up the call and put it on speaker. I didn’t recognize the voice on the other side but Lucy looked at me through her lashes with a victorious smile.

“Are you home yet?” the voice asked.

“Not yet, your son is in a meeting.”

Shock filled me as I realized that she was talking with Kaden’s mother. Lucy saw the exact moment that awareness settled on me and she smiled in victory.

“I want you guys home soon for lunch.” She hung up the call and Lucy stared up at me with

a vicious smile.

She looked like she wanted to speak but Caleb walked in through the doors. As soon as I saw him, I all but rushed to my feet and gathered my bags. He looked between Lucy and I as if he knew something had happened and I knew he wanted to ask but I didn’t give him the chance.

“I’m ready to leave.” I announced,
