Worthless to Priceless The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 6

CALEB’S PO.V

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I expected to happen was to be ambushed by my sister. Kiara has always been a little special, growing up she would speak to the animals and she claimed they would respond back.

My father always thought she was crazy but we soon realized that she did have a gift. She was a seer and sometimes the birds would whisper things to her. Sometimes they were good things and sometimes they were warnings that something bad was about to happen. Regardless of whatever it was, we all learned to take Clara seriously.

I knocked on Kaden’s door and I didn’t wait for him to respond before I entered because I knew he wouldn’t. I am the only person who willingly comes in here. Every other person is too scared or is dragged in here for punishment.

The rumors about Kaden started a while ago and they have done nothing but spread. Before all that, Kaden was my friend and that is all I will see him as. I don’t know whether or not he actually killed his father for the crown and I don’t particularly care to ask. All I know is that Kaden is my friend and I will do my duty to him as his Beta.

He was hunched over his desk with some papers in front of him and a wild scowl on his face. I didn’t need him to look relay the most prominent features of his face which are two long scars- one on his cheek and the other cutting from his temple to the top of his right eye.

“Clara heard something today,” I began and he finally sat up.

More than anyone, Kaden respects the things Clara says. He doesn’t like to speak to her himself because she always speaks in riddles and he finds that those things annoy him but he always respects her and tries his best to do the things she

says.

“What did the birds tell her today?” his tone was a little jarring and a tad bit mocking but I could see from his expression that he was genuinely curious.

“She says that a girl- an Alpha’s daughter- was stripped of her identity and thrown out of her pack today.”

“I don’t see how that concerns me.”

“She is adamant that the situation is dire and she feels sympathy for the girl.”

“If I bothered myself with every family squabble we would be in ruin,” Kaden kept his eyes fixated on the papers in front of him, “I don’t know who the girl is but as long as she does not cross our borders then she is not our problem.”

I nodded and exited the office. I knew Clara wouldn’t be too happy about his response but she would understand. It is very hard to get Kaden to care about someone who isn’t his immediate family or friend. He has always been like that, ever since he was a child and nothing has been able to change him so far.

I walked out of the pack building and made my way to the back where the gardens sat. When I saw dark brown hair identical to mine and a girl sitting cross legged and feeding the birds, I smiled to myself.

My sister spends more time in this garden than she spends anywhere else. It has always been her second home and I think she likes it more because of the birds. She calls them hér friends and her

eyes. At first I found it amusing but I realized that because of her powers, she actually could see through their eyes.

Sometimes she can see as far as several packs away if one of the birds shows it to her. I have never understood how it works but it has been a great help to us in times of battle and warfare.

“I can see you brother,” she said softly and I looked up to see a bird perched on a tree next to me.

I made my way out from the pillar I was leaning behind and I walked over to her. She tapped the ground next to her and I sat down gently, not wanting to scare the birds or disrupt her peace.

“He didn’t have a positive response, did he?” she asked and I shook my head, “it is okay though, I expected that.”

“Why is this girl so important?” I asked and she shrugged, “Does she mean anything to us?”

“Does she need to mean something for us to worry about her?”

Clara has always had a soft heart, She would cry at happy movies and she sobbed when she found out how chicken was made. She stopped eating meat because of her birds so I’m not surprised that she feels pity for this young girl that she has

never met.

She closed her eyes and stroked one of the birds softly, “her father is a terrible man Caleb.”

I was shocked by the sudden change in subject, “why would you say that?”

“He wants her dead,” she sighed softly and looked at me, “He has done cruel and terrible things to his daughter and now she is all alone.”

“We cannot help everyone Clára.”

She stayed silent and for a moment I thought she was actually upset with me. I wouldn’t have blamed her for it though. She wanted to help this girl and I was telling her that she couldn’t without offering a better course of action.

I know Clara and I know that she will not let this go. Even if we refuse to help, she will do everything she can to help this girl if she truly believes that she is worthy of help. That is one of the things I love about her. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“I can see her,” she breathed in a whisper, almost as if she was scared to utter the words. “She looks so scared and petrified. She is so young too; I think she might be my age.”

So she was an eighteen year old girl who had lost her entire life. In that moment I understood why Clara felt for her so much. I can’t imagine Clara being on her own right now. She probably wouldn’t survive a week in the forest and she knows that. That might be why she cares so much about this girl because she sees herself in her.

I held my sisters hand softly and stroked the back of her palm. While I understand her pain and her pity, Clara has to learn that we are not in a position to save everyone.

“Clara,” I began and she hummed in response. “The girl will be fine. If her father is such a terrible person like you said then she might be safer away from him.”

“She is safer away from him but she looks so alone,” she trailed off for a second and I saw her cock her head in confusion. I was about to ask what she was seeing when she gasped and let out a scream.

She started to shake as if she was convulsing and I knew what was happening- she was seeing something. I have had my fair share of experiences with her when she is seeing but each times seems to scare me more. She flails around and if care is not taken, she could actually hurt herself.

Worry filled me in an instant and I pulled my sister into my side. I couldn’t stop her from seeing what she was seeing but I could offer my protection. I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her hair as I tried to remind her that she was safe and she was with me.

The birds around us didn’t move. If anything, they moved closer to Clara and took spots around her b*dy. I knew she was seeing through their eyes and that was why they were close to her.

It took a while, but she finally calmed down and all that was left of her episode was her shuddering breaths and the subtle wracking of her b*dy as she sobbed softly. I didn’t force her to speak; I just kept my arms around her and held her tightly as she regained her composure.

“Her father,” she began with a soft voice, “He sent warriors to get rid of her. She doesn’t know and she is on her own out there.”
