The Alpha’s Rejected Bride -
Chapter 34
Jasper's request leaves me thinking, could it be that mom did something wrong in her research?
No, my mother was one of the best Hematologist out there. I just don't have the gene, but what about Pisces?
I didn't even tell the brothers about her. Should I? Gosh, I'm so confused. I need to talk to Alora, she said she will continue to research. "Lucy," Rayan calls.
I twist my neck to Jasper and nod. I need to know what I am.
"Good, can we get it now?" He requests.
"What, now?" I look at Rayan who nods encouragingly. I sigh and stand up.
We follow Jasper to another part of the castle, the light is faint in this area and we are walking in what looks like a never-ending hallway. It's very cold and silent.
Rayan wraps one arm around me. After a few minutes of walking. We stop in front of a white door with a sign. Do not enter.
Just seeing this door makes me nervous and thinking that he will take my blood scares me.
"Well, looks like it's closed," I laugh nervously before turning on my heel. Rayan grabs my hand and looks into my eyes. "Are you scared?" I scoff, again and again. The brothers are watching me confused as I try to control my breathing. "What, noooo wayyy," I say at last.
"Yep, she's scared," Enol sighs.
"I'm just tired ok! I've been on my the whole day and those kids are not the easiest to deal with!"
I'm so scared and start to cry loudly. I'm sniffing while they watch me perplexed.
"Ra-yan, I'm not scar- scared. I'm just tired!" I cry. I try to wipe the tears from my eyes but they won't stop flowing.
Rayan picks me from the floor and hugs me. He is comforting and whispering nice words in my ears.
"Should I hold your hand while he takes your blood?"
He asks gently, and I nod.
"You're all making me look like a bad guy here," murmurs Jasper. As the doors open the smell of ammonium chloride invades my senses. He steps into the all-white room, followed by Rayan and me. The room is a laboratory with all the necessary equipment.
I'm sitting at one of the lab stools while Rayan stands behind me, his hand on my shoulder is comforting.
Jasper is in front of me, he pats my vein and I hide in Rayan's chest while he draws blood. It's a quick procedure but I hate it.
When he's done, Rayan kisses my hair" Good girl,"
"I'll have the results in a week. You all leave so I should work on it," We nod and exit the room. Enol didn't enter the room so we find him at the door.
"Have you eaten?" Rayan asks me.
"I ate lunch,"
"Hm, let's go check what is being prepared,"
"Great, I'm starving!" Enol chimes.
We go straight to the kitchen, the chefs and staff bow immediately and ask what we want.
While Rayan talks to them, I take a look around, I've never been in here before. It's so huge and everything looks new. it is island styled kitchen and has a Pantry and a walk-in refrigerator. I take a seat at one of the stools and grab an apple that was on a small fruit basket.
"Ma'am, allow me to make you a quick salad," a chef bows. I shake my head and eat it like that. She seems surprised. Rayan sits next to me.
We watch the workers run around the kitchen, they seem agitated and rush.
"So, this is what it looks like in here," Enol mutters. He is looking at it.
"Have you not been here before?" I ask as I take another bite of my apple.
"Nope!" He answers.
"Oh,"
While in the Kitchen, my phone rings.
It's director Hamilton. I answer it. He keeps giggling and honestly, it's annoying. He thinks he's as cute as a button.
He is telling me that I have the night shift tomorrow because the nurse on duty has personal problems.
I accept to do that and hung up. Rayan is frowning.
"He likes you," he murmurs. I stand between his legs and his hands wrap around my waist. He doesn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
"We are all here," Enol reminds him. Rayan sends an annoyed look his way but his young brother just smirks.
Rayan pulls me close and whispers.
"I'll kill him if he continues to hit on you,"
Rayan's words are serious and true. I frown and kiss him deeply. We hear aaw from the servants who are watching.
"Then you'll have to find yourself another queen," I whisper and turn to walk away but he grabs my arms and spins me around, we are close, our breaths are mingling.
"I don't want another, I chose you and so did the moon,"
I squint my eyes at him. What does he mean by the moon,
"What do you mean the moon?"
He opens his mouth to speak but closes it. He looks guilty. I swallow and step away from him. Like a silent order, all the servants exit the kitchen.
"Rayan, answer me," I growl.
"You're my mate," he suddenly says. I'm livid and confused.
"Why didn't you say anything sooner," when he keeps silent, that's when I realize he didn't want me.
He gets out of the stool and walks closer to me but I put a hand up, telling him not to come closer. Tears are dancing in my eyes.
"You didn't want me because I'm human," I hiccup.
He shakes his head. Rayan is very scared and worried.
"No, baby, I swear. I just didn't-" he can't formulate proper sentences. He is stammering so badly.
"Don't come close to me, we are done," I wipe my tears and dash out of the room. I can hear his heavy steps following me but I don't stop.
As I run I feel someone grab my arms, I turn abruptly to tell the person to let go when I'm met with gentle grey eyes. My godmother.
I breathe in and she pulls me in a warm brace.
"Rayan," she calls, queen Astrid is still stroking my hair gently while I cry on her shoulder.
"I don't want to see him, godmother,"
They are silent, probably mind linking. When I pull away from her, she cups my face.
"You found out?"
So she already knew, I wonder how many people did, what about Enol and Rhodes, did they lie to me as well.
"You knew," I cry. She puts a hand on my waist
"Let's go to my apartment,"
We are going through the hallway I'm unfamiliar with.
We reach a big ornate door, there is a guard stationed there. We enter the apartment, it's beautiful. It has white comfortable sofas and huge glass windows. It is well furnished and has a hallway and doors leading to different places. She gestures me to sit and I do. I'm wiping my eyes. A servant brings us a hot beverage and the queen takes hers immediately
She takes a sip and whispers
"Satisfying, thank you, Nancy," she says politely to the servant who blushes.
"Take your tea, sweety," she says. I pick the small white mug with a hot beverage In it. When I take a sip, I scowl. The tea is bitter and not to my liking, considering I have a sweet palate.
"I don't like it," I sniff, the queen laughs.
"You're such a child when you are around the people you're comfortable with,"
She seems pleased. I've been told that I act like a baby and can be too demanding.
"Don't be shy, I like that you are comfortable around us,"
"I am," I confess. I've gotten close to them all.
She sighs and looks at me seriously.
"My son was confused when he found you," she starts. I look away like a brat, crossing my arms against my chest
"I'm not talking to him again,"
"You have every right. If you want to reject him and be done with him, gosh, boys are so exhausting," she sighs and leans against her couch.
I squint my brows. I didn't say I want to reject him, I'm just hurt that he lied to me.
"To error is human and to forgive is divine. Rayan regrets not telling you but he had his issues and battles to settle. Think of this as a way to cement your relationship," she is speaking like a mom. I smile. "He chose you to be his queen not because you're his mate but because he loves you,"
She's right, I've really grown fond of Rayan and I like him so much, I can't say we are on the love part yet but we're getting there.
I sigh and finish my tea, it leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth but I drank it as queen Astrid Insisted. It opened up my throat.
I spend the whole night in her apartment. We have a fun girl's night doing karaoke.
We are dancing and had so much fun.
My phone keeps beeping but I'm ignoring Rayan's text only to torture him, he should have told me the truth about us before, now, I understand why I felt so close and comfortable around him.
"Godmother, why do I have a mate when I'm wolf less, I know Mama was human and found my dad but-" I trail and she laughs
"oh, dear. Miranda wasn't human,"
I raise my eyebrows. The queen is looking at me with visible shock on her face.
"What do you mean?"
She inhales
"Your mom was my best friend and honestly, I spent so many years with her that I even forgot she's human," She laughs" Silly me,"
I continue thinking about Rayan.
He came by twice but no one let him in. Yes, he can suffer for all I care.
" Baby, please talk to me," I read the text out loud to my godmother. She scowls.
"Don't answer. Let him beg a while longer," Queen Astrid is a little tipsy because of the wine she has been drinking despite her Ladies' disapproval.
I didn't know the queen of wolves would be so fun, we are rotating our hips to the soft music.
I slept in one of the guests' bedrooms here, the bedroom is huge and comfortable also with an ensuite bathroom. It's not too different from my room.
I already found clothes lying out in the closet for me. It's a black and warm sweater, the material is soft. I realize everything is brand new.
After getting a quick shower. I wear the clothes and pair them with warm boots.
The smell of pastries makes me hurriedly leave my room even bump into a few maids,
"Careful, my lady, you might slip," A tall Brunnet looks worriedly.
I smile at her. She is the young lady that brought us tea yesterday.
"I was just coming to check on you," she says.
I go to the kitchen, the place is neat and behind the counter, the queen and a tall red-haired woman who looks to be in her early forties. She is as tall as the queen and her smile is as beautiful and gracious as her features. "My queen, let me," she says but my godmother swats her hand away.
"Good morning," I cheer. The two ladies look up to me and smile
We exchange pleasantries and my godmother introduces the woman as Savannah, her royal Lady in waiting, and a dear friend.
To Savannah, she says, " This is lady Lucy, my future Queen and my daughter in law,"
