Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 126

Chapter 126

I want to know everything that happened to you in that pack,” Philip said to Adalyn.

Adalyn, the wild girl, felt a sense of shame and embarrassment in the presence of her mate and Alpha. She was aware that her odor had filled the car as soon as the AC was turned on.

Her lips remained tightly sealed as she fidgeted with her fingers. She knew her mate wouldn’t reject her, but she wondered if he would still mark or mate with her if he found out about everything she had been through.

Adalyn had suffered

severe damage and her anger had made her hold when facing her oppressors. But now, alone with her mate who still felt like a stranger, she didn’t know where to begin.

“Let her eat first,” Levi suggested, reminding Philip that Adalyn hadn’t eaten in three days, despite what she had claimed. But there was something else she had said that made Philip slam on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop

“I haven’t showered in nine days

Adalyn had no access to a bathroom and had been forced to shower in the woods, which becarne dangerous and unbearable in the cold. Unlike other werewolves, Adalyn was not immine to the cold

due to being underweight and malnourished.

Shifting for the first time had been a struggle for her, and the pain had discouraged her from attempting it again.

Levi was upset by the situation and understood that Philip felt even worse. He offered to drive instead, and Philip accepted. knowing he wasn’t in the right state of mind to

continue driving safely.

They didn’t ask any more questions until they arrived at the pack house.

As soon as they pulled into the car park, Philip was enveloped in Gracie’s arms, while Levi was warmly welcomed by Charles. After a moment, they switched, with Gracie lugging Levi. However, there was no smile on Levi’s face.

“How did it go?” Gracie asked eagerly. Philip opened the back door of the car for Adalyn to step out without responding to his mother’s question.

Under the bright lights, Philip’s heart sank. The girl was painfully thin. Charles wondered if she was even human, but he didn’t ask right away, sensing that Philip, who was usually cheerful, seemed colder than Levi.

Gracie forced a smile and asked, “Who is she?”

“Mom, she’s my mate. Her name is Adalyn, and she’s from the Aqua pack.”

Gracie sensed that there was a problem, but she decided to make Adalyn feel welcome and address the issue with Philip. later.

“Oh, welcome home, Adalyn.”

Adalyn lowered her head as she looked at the elegant woman in front of her. Gracie seemed older than her mate’s mother, with her moist, spotless, and smooth skin.

Gracie was about to hug her, but Adalyn felt uncomfortable and stepped away. “Ma’am, I haven’t showered in over a week”

Gracie froze, remembering how omegas were treated and how Jaxon had managed the situation all these years.

“Is she an omega?” Gracie asked seriously, Philip’s heart weighed heavily, and he couldn’t speak, so Levi responded on his behalf.

“Auntie Gracie please take care of her first.” Gracie composed herself before Philip asked,

“I hope Grandma made us dinner.” Then he reconsidered, “Or we can even cook ourselves.”

“Don’t worry. The moment she heard the news that you had arrived, she went to the kitchen to make something for both of you. I will take care of her, Gracie smiled and led Adalyn to Philip’s room.

Philip and Levi had learned how to cook from their grandmother and were always happy to do it a few times. They no longer worried about going Inngry when their grandmother was sleeping.

“This room belongs to your mate, so you can shower while I get you some clothes,” Gracie said, leading Adalyn to the slower room. She was about to close the door when Adalyn politely spoke up,

“I don’t know how. I’ve never showered in a place like this since I was eight, and these are different. I haven’t used them before.”

Adalyn feared that if she didn’t voice her ignorance and Gracie left, she wouldn’t be able to shower or eat, as she was starving. The bathroom was as big as a room, and she saw many things she didn’t know how to use.

Chapter 126

Gracie pursed her lips, her eyes welling up with tears as she compared Adalyn’s story to Rowena’s, unsure of who had suffered more.

“Come, I will help you.”

She pointed to the different-colored faucets. The blue is cold water, and the red is hot water. This one gives you a mixture of both. It’s neutral, so you can undress.”

Adalyn hesitated, expecting Gracie to leave before she undressed. But Gracie sensed her hunger and decided to assist her. However, Adalyn instantly recoiled when Gracie began removing layer after layer of clothing

After removing the eighth layer, Gracie was met with the sight of a skeleton covered in a thin layer of skin. Adalyn couldn’t bear it any longer. Pain and anger filled Gracie’s eyes as she realized the extent of the abuse Adalyn had endured

“Philip!”

She screamed, and Philip, who was in the next room using Levi’s shower, rushed over with lather and a towel wrapped

around his waist.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Philip stood in the doorway of his room, but Gracie motioned for him to come closer.

“Thilip, look at this. You can’t let that pack get away with this. If you won’t do anything about it, then I will tell Jaxon and Rowena when they return.”

Philip froze as he gazed at his mate, who was so embarrassed she was

as using her long hair to cover herself. It was clear that she had never had the chance to take care of herself, as her hair cascaded down to her thighs when it was released from its bun.

Tears welled up in

Philip’s eyes, and without saying a word, he turned around and went back to Levi’s room.

He rinsed himself off and cleaned up, grabbing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt from Levi’s closet to wear. They had always shared clothes and belongings

since childhood, so it wasn’t a big deal..

He lay down next to Levi, both of them staring at the ceiling

“You’re in a terrible mood. What happened?” Levi asked, his own eyes welling up with tears as Philip bitterly recounted what he had seen.

“Levi, you have to see her. Everything you saw on her was not skin, but layers of clothes. My mate has been reduced to a skeleton

Levi, who knew how to endure pain better than anyone, maintained his cold expression as he comforted his brother. “So don’t mate with her yet. Let her be nourished and healthy. She’s not fit for training and needs plenty of rest. As for the Aqua pack, we’ll visit them soon,” he said solemnly. Philip felt a sense of relief. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
