Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 129
“What do we do?” Rowena asked Jason as soon as they were out of the scrutinizing gazes.
They couldn’t communicate through mindlink in the presence of Jaxon Hayes, so they needed to have this talk privately.
Jaxon was smart enough to sense that something was wrong. That’s why Jaxon and Rowenn bid the others goodbye before
having this conversation.
They couldn’t understand why they felt a bond to someone who wasn’t their mate, and their wolves were filled with unease.
“You extended a hand to her and she refused. She is too shy and wouldn’t be comfortable around any of us, even if we
kidnapped her, Jaxon said thoughtfully.
That was the only option he could think of since Kimberly had refused Rowena’s offer to visit. If they insisted, then Jaxon Hayes
would have to come with her, but he wasn’t welcome in their world.
“Kidnap? No way. Can’t you see how Jaxon Hayes loves her? He even took her on his honeymoon. It would break him if she just
disappeared from his life like that. Rowena said thoughtfully, debunking the kidnapping option.
Jaxon shook his head, wishing he had used his authority to force Levi to come with them.
His wolf was stubborn, but as Levi’s father, he still had a level of power over him for the sake of respect.
“Thave never felt so attracted to anyone who wasn’t my mate like I did today,” Jaxon said, and Rowena nodded in agreement.
“Same here. It’s the first time I’ve felt that way, and 1 feel like I have to keep her close.”.
Since they were both in agreement, Jaxon was even more certain that Kimberly should belong to the Snow Mountain Pack.
“I think we should come and visit again with Levi. If she’s his mate, I believe she would willingly follow him.”
“I was thinking the same thing. Rowena agrees, feeling relieved. The mate bond is strong enough to pull her with us, but what if
she’s not his mate?”
“Then we go back to searching and waiting for a miracle. Jaxon shrugged, but he doubted it.

He felt that Levi’s connection to Rowena, because of the similar powers they shared, was the reason why she could feel his
mate bond on his behalf. But what about him?
It was quite easy. Because Rowena was his mate, Jaxon could feel her emotions, which is why he could feel the mate bond. His
bond was not directly connected to Kimberly but rather to Rowenn
“Alright, let’s go,” Rowena agreed. As they were about to enter the rented car, Jaxon Hayes, Sarah, and Kimberly walked past

them to their car.
This time, Kimberly held Rowena’s gaze for some time before lowering her head again.
“Uncle Jaxon, Auntie Rowena, I really hope that you come again,” Jason Hayes said seriously. Sarah smiled, but Kimberly was
already seated in the back seat of his car.
Jaxon didn’t want to do it before, but for the sake of Kimberly, he had to.
“We shall come again, Jaxon said with certainty and added, “with our soil”
Jaxon Hayes was excited, and it showed in his voice.
“That is wonderful. I will make the necessary preparations,” Jaxon Hayes smiled and said before lowering himself into the
driver’s seat.
At the Snow Mountain Pack.
Levi, why are you still sleeping? Are you counting the days’ Caesar’s voice woke Levi up instantly.
The monster kept tormenting him, and both of them ended up with little to no rest, making them easily angered and irritable.
I have stopped counting the days because I am not afraid anymore. Philip found his mate and can be the Alpha if I die. He just
has to appoint a trusted warrior as a beta or love the battle for it, Levi responded to his wolf, unfazed by the matter.
Strangely, Carsar was the one afraid now when he thought about Levi’s death. Most times when Levi considered giving up, Philip
would encourage him, and Levi would have faith.
Since they both weren’t mated, the issues of the park lay on their shoulders. They felt it would be cowardly to die when they had
serious responsibilities..

“You want to give up?” Caesar asked, but his voice wasn’t as strong as before when he wanted to torment Levi.
The Alpha being ready to give up meant that he was ready for death, which meant death for Caesar too.
“Tell the where else to search; Levi asked him. After searching almost all the packs without getting a hint of his mate’s
whereabouts, he needed some guidance.
The Oasis Pack or Canada, Caesar said. He had heard Jaxon and Rowena speak about Canada, and Levi had thought about
the Oasis Pack. Since his beast could read his mind, he repeated it to him.
Levi shook his head with dismay. He closed his eyes, but he wasn’t sleeping. He was deep in thought.
“I considered the Oasis Pack before, but it’s very small. I don’t think they have more than 500 members, he complained, not
believing that his mate would be at the Oasis Pack.
Ever since hearing about Levi wanting to give up, Caesar cowered in fear. His voice was no longer authoritative as he suggested

to Levi.
“Your mate could still be hidden like Levi’s mate”
“Let’s go for a run. Levi didn’t want to hear it again. He thought of letting Caesar out for a run to silence lum for a while, just to
have a rethink of everything
‘Good.
Levi realized that Philip was still lying beside him and frowned a little before tipping him awake.
“Philip, you left your mate alone? Come on, get out of here. I’m going for a run”
Levi thought that when Philip came last night, he would sleep for just a little while and then go back to his mate. He never
thought he would spend the whole night.
It made Levi feel guilty to take him away from his mate because he knew that if he found his mate, he would devote all the
necessary time to her. He wanted Philip to do the same thing.
“What about training?” Philip asked groggily, reminding Levi that even if he went to his room, he would only change and go for
training. He could do it in Levi’s room as well.

“You are in charge of training, Philip. I think you should start taking on Alpha roles.” Levi stated his stand
Caesar was grossly upset, realizing that he was shoving his responsibility onto Philips shoulders.
“What are you saying? Don’t tell me that you want to give up.” Philip asked after the clarity of Levi’s words sank in.
This wasn’t the first time Levi had considered it, but Philip always encouraged hin: Plus. Philip hadn’t found lus mate either.
Then again, Philip began to feel that Levi was considering this because of his mate. Adalyn
“Philip, even if I don’t give up. I will still die You should take over the park. I know you can handle it, Levi said in a gentle tone, but
there was no smule on his fice.
Philip was upset, but he was able to control his anger and said,
“No, I can’t. I’m a beta with a beta wolf”
“Your wolf can be upgraded or changed with the position,” Levi hinted, hoping that Philip would accept the challenge.
He wanted to ensure that after his death, lus soul could rest in peace knowing that someone would be there to take his place.
“Never. I will never be the Alpha, Levi. If you dare die on us, then this pack is done for good, or your father will just have to rule
the pack until he dies”
Philip was so upset that his voice raised against his cousin and Alpha, something he had never done before.
“Philip, calm down, Levi said patiently, not wanting the others in the pack house to hear what he planned to do. But Philip wasn’t
listening. He didn’t plan to be an Alpha, and he wasn’t going to consider it.
“No. I won’t calpr down. How dare you think about giving up? You think because I found my mate, your position in my life in cloud
No, devi. If you die, I will kill myself,” Philip yelled and walked out, his anger burning because Levi had considered giving up.
Levi was lost as to whether to go after him or go for the run as planned.
Caesar was the only happy one at the moment, for Philip’s refusal to take the Alpha position of the pack.
