Hiding His Baby The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 19

Promise It’s been two days since that It’s been two days since Athena last saw Dominic.

She couldn’t explain if that was good or bad. She felt at peace and was jumpy at the same time. She felt

as if he would come out of nowhere any moment now and hurt her some more by his presence.

Yes, she feels hurt whenever she sees him. She feels like he was there to rub salt on the cuts which he

had given her. It hurts all the freaking time! It hurts so much! She let out a sigh as she forced

herself out of his thoughts and concentrated on the work in hand. She was staying at his mansion and

taking care of it. He has given off to all the maids. S o, the big mansion is on her shoulder to clean and

take care of. Currently she was cleaning the living room while Ace was with Suzanne and Patricia. She

was s o lucky to have them as friends. She was really tired but she couldn’t take a rest. She has to mop

the floors and clean the bathroom today as well. “What are you doing?” She jumped hearing the sudden

interruption. She put her hands over her chest before turning around to look at Suzanne with a frown.

“You scared me!” She scowled at her.

“Don’t blame me. You are a werewolf. Shouldn’t you have been active enough to detect me long ago?”

Suzanne asked with a frown as she took a seat on the couch. Athena let out a sigh and sat beside her.

“Don’t ask My wolf has been restless and unresponsive for the past few days. Maybe she needs a run or

being her usual grumpy self.” Athena said with a small roll of her eyes making Suzanne chuckle.

“Sounds like your wolf.” She teased, earning a playful glare from Athena.

“Whatever. What are you doing here? Where is Ace?” Athena asked with a small frown.

“Don‘t worry. He is with Patricia and Justin. I thought of coming here to help you.” Suzanne said with a

small smile. Athena smiled as well.

“Thank you, Suzanne. You did great by coming here. I wanted to talk to you about something for a long

time.” Athena suddenly got serious, making Suzanne nervous. She looked at her with a small frown.

“Sure, tell me. What is it? You look really worried about whatever it is. Tell me.” Suzanne asked in a

worried tone as she didn’t want to see her best friend upset.

Athena looked at Suzanne with a small frown, wondering if she should say this or not. But at last she let

out a sigh and looked at her with a serious look.

“It’s about alpha Derrick” She slowly said and looked at Suzanne with careful expression. She noted

Suzanne’s expression changing rapidly at the mention of Alpha Derrick Her expression went from

worried to nervous. And it made her think of something serious. r

“Wh…what about him?” Suzanne asked in a nervous tone as she looked at Athena with widened eyes.

“He said something strange while cornering me with the bitches that day.” Athena said with a frown as

she tried to remember clearly what he said.

“Wh…what did he say? What actually happened that day after I left?” Suzanne asked with a frown. She

was getting nervous every second. Athena fisted her hands as she remembered what happened.

“He was going to punish me for having a baby but no mate. He wanted to know who his father was and

insulted me a lot. He said something like it was a pack rule to punish this kind of wolf and all. Did you

know anything about this rule?” Athena asked and Suzanne nodded ‘no’ with a blank face.

“No, I didn’t know.”

Athena nodded at her with an understanding look. Before continuing again.

“Yeah, but he said something like ‘there was a reason’ which was stopping him from punishing me with

his so-called punishment. And the reason wasn’t there anymore hence he attacked me that day.

I wonder what could be the reason. Do you have any idea?” as she looked at Suzanne with careful eyes.

“No…no… I don’t have any idea. Do you have any idea?” Suzanne stammered but didn’t dare to look at

her.

She wanted to see if she had any idea of the thing Derrick was talking about. But apart from a confusing

nervousness, there wasn’t anything on her face. So, Athena thought Suzanne was just nervous by the

name of Derrick. “Are there any chances that he was talking about you?” Athena asked in a careful tone

as she presented her doubt. For some reason, she thought that it could be her. Because it was only

Suzanne who left that day. And he said the reason he couldn’t punish left, so she couldn’t think of

anything else other than that.

“NO! Why would he be talking about me? Are you crazy? I don’t have any idea what he was talking

about.” Suzanne defended herself as she looked at Athena with widened eyes. “Don’t get me wrong,

Suzy. I am sorry. I am just confused because he said…” She suddenly stopped talking and let out a sigh.

“Forget it. I am sorry. I was just confused. But I think that’s the past and we should move on from there.”

Athena said with a small smile. Suzanne smiled back at her nervously. “Yeah, we should. But I want a

promise from you, Athy.” Suzanne suddenly got serious.

“Yeah? What is it?” Athena asked with a raised eyebrow.

“You have to promise me that you won’t leave this pack ever. You will not be stubborn to go anywhere.

You are not safe outside. Can you promise me that?” She asked with a serious and hopeful look on her

face.

“Suzy… I don’t think I can promise you that. I have to leave someday. But I can promise you

that I will always be safe and taken care of myself.” Athena said with a small smile. “That will work for

now.”
