Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 137

“Dad, are you crazy? She doesn’t seem to be from around here, and she hasn’t accepted me yet,” Levi exclaimed, his frustration evident in his voice.

However, Jaxon remained calm, knowing that Levi’s concerns were valid.

He had discussed the situation extensively with Rowena the previous night, and after comparing it to their own experiences, he was convinced that this was the right course of action.

“It’s the only way to save her life,” Jaxon replied, his tone steady.

“How can my mark save her life?” Levi questioned him seriously, unsure of how marking someone as their mate could be the only solution.

Levi believed that both parties should agree to the mating and marking, rather than taking advantage of someone in an

unconscious state.

Jaxon understood his son’s perspective and proceeded to explain.

“You possess a stronger version of your mother’s powers, which rely on sexual energy. Since we mated, we engage in it daily, except during her period or times of war. However, there was a time during a war when we had to do it, or else she would have died.”

Levi found it strange, wondering how long his parents had kept this secret. However, it was his mother who possessed the powers, not his father and in Levi’s case, he was the one with he powers and not Kimberly.

“I am not the one who is dying, Levi asserted.

Jaxon looked at him with pity and replied.

“But you will die if your mate does

Jaxon had sent Levi alone with his mate to strengthen their bond and allow Levi to figure things out on his ow Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

However, when Rowena experienced discomfort that morning, fearing they might lose Beverly, Jason realized that Levi hadn’t yet understood the situation.

Knowing the importance of respecting women, thanks to the training he had given Levi and Philip, Jaxon understood that it would be challenging for Levi to do what he asked.

Nevertheless, he was determined to ensure that his mate had the life she deserved.

“I don’t understand any of this.” Levi shook his head and said, feeling overwhelmed.

He was afraid that his mate would hate him if she recovered and saw the mark on her neck. She might even refuse to mate with him out of anger.

Levi planned to take things slowly and explain everything to her, especially since she seemed unfamiliar with their world.

He was still waiting for her to explain how she managed to cross over from Canada to their packs, as it remained a mystery to him.

“Levi, do you remember when your mother would faint and you had to heal her?” Jaxon asked, capturing Levi’s full attention. He wanted to understand the reason behind it.

“Yes,” Levi replied.

“It was because of the curse tied to her powers. It was a bittersweet curse, as it kept us close to each other,” Jaxon explained, a gentle sinile forming orhis lips as he reminisced.

“Whenever she used her powers excessively without engaging in sexual activity, she would faint. If I didn’t reach her in time, slar could die. That’s why I can never stay away from her for more than twenty- four hours.” ;

Levi almost believed it, except that he had heard his father say that after meeting Rowena, she had lived in Canada for eight years before they reunited. So, how was it possible for her to be here now? Unable to figure it out on his own, Levi asked,

“Then how was she surviving before you two mated?”

“Before we became mates, she was in Canada. When she returned, the boast between us would always pull her to my rooms even when she refused me because of how your uncle rejected her, Now that I think about it, it’s what brought Kimberly here as well.”

Tbelieve that she felt the band with your mother, and that was enough to pull her in search of you. Leap say that your love and bond are even stronger than ours.”

“You may have the powers, but she is suffering the effects of it. If you don’t mark and mate with her, she won’t survive, now that you both have met,” Jaxon concluded sadly.

He still wondered how Kimberly had managed to make it here, considering her shyness and timidity, which had previously

prevented her from leaving Jaxon Hayes’s side.

“So, if we hadn’t met, would she have been okay?” Levi asked seriously. Jaxon believed that if they hadn’t encountered her in Canada, things would have remained the same until Levi eventually passed away.

The thought of witnessing his only son’s death due to his inability to find his mate weighed heavily on him, and he felt it was necessary to delve into Kimberly’s life to understand exactly what had happened to her.

He also felt grateful to Rowena for forgiving Beverly in the past.

Without her forgiveness, they would have never met Jason Hayes, and who knows, if Beverly had been in prison and Jaxon Hayes life had been miserable, or if he had ended up with his father, he would have never had the means to adopt Kimberly.

As he pondered the situation, he found solace in the fact that he had fallen in love with Jason Hayes, despite his mother’s hurtful actions.

“Indeed, once the bond is accepted by one person, its effects are profound. It has been a beautiful experience, and 1 have never regretted meeting your mother or having her as my mate,” Jaxon explained earnestly

Nevertheless, upon seeing Levi’s hesitance, he became upset.

Standing up, he issued a grave warning. “Your mate went through great lengths to be with you. If you disregard my advice and allow her to perish, that consequence rests solely on your shoulders.”

Without further delay, Jason turned around and departed, leaving Levi deep in contemplation, filled with fear and inner conflict.

What if his father’s judgment of Kimberly was mistaken? On the other hand, she had embarked on a long and arduous journey alone, though Levi remained clueless about the means she had employed.

As he returned to the room, he was taken aback to find her lying on her back.

He distinctly remembered leaving her on her side. Her eyes were fixated on the ceiling, devoid of any signs of life, and her once captivating blue eyes now seemed lifeless.

Levi’s heart raced as he hurried towards her, his panic intensifying. He checked her pulse, only to be met with a distressing realization – her life force was slowly fading away.

With great urgency, he scooped her up into his arms, but she slumped back, requiring him to hold her tightly to prevent any further movement.

Her eyes were open, but he knew she couldn’t see him and doubted if she could hear him.

Nevertheless, he continued to speak

“Kimberly, this isn’t how I envisioned our bonding, but it seems the moon goddess has other plans for us. I apologize for not seeking your consent before claiming you as mine.”

Levi’s heart weighed heavily as he wished for a different outcome. However, he had no choice but to follow his father’s advice.

Without uttering another word, his canines elongated, and he sank them into her neck. After a brief moment, he withdrew them, kissing the area and licking the small trickle of blood.

Kimberly felt a sharp pain and feared the worst, but soon she began to feel peculiar.

Her previously sightless eyes now saw blurry images, and she realized she was still in the presence of the same man from the previous day.

Was be the cause of her previous pain? Was he also mistreating her like the men in the past? Kimberly couldn’t comprehend, but she knew she shouldn’t be feeling this desire that replaced her pain.

Suddenly, she gasped and broke free from Levi’s embrace, standing up.

The room shy was in became unbearably hot, and her loose dress felt uncomfortable against her skin.

She reached for the hem of her dress and pulled it off her head. Levi watched in shock. His father must have been right, but Beverly was sweating profusely and the fire had been out for hours.

The temperature in the cabin was perfect, so he wondered why she was perspiring so much.

In the next moment, she discarded her dress and let it fall to the floor, her fingers gently caressing her skin.

Levi felt that perhaps she needed to shower, so he decided to assist her.

After undressing himself, he carefully lifted her into his arms and carried her to the shower room.

However, he was taken aback when she unexpectedly began caressing his chest. Despite this, he sensed that something was off and turned on the cold shower faucet.

A gap escaped Kimberly’s mouth as she started shivering in his arms. Concerned, he adjusted the water temperature to a neutral setting before proceeding to wash her..

Initially, her hands roamed all over her body, but as soon as she regained clarity and their eyes met once again, she spoke to lum for the first time.

“You are so handsome,” she uttered.

Levi felt her voice was the sweetest sound he had ever heard. It was soft and calming, causing his cheeks to blush at the compliment.

Coming from his mate, it held a special significance for him, and he was overjoyed to finally hear her voice.

“You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met,” he responded, causing her cheeks to redden. She smiled and lowered her head as the water soaked both of them.

Levi reached for the shampoo, poured a generous amount into his palms, and began to wash her hair. However, she suddenly tensed up and asked,

“Who are you? I hope you won’t disappear again without telling me your name.”

Levi’s hands froze in her hair, instantly.
