Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 12

“Any news, Nathan? Justin?” Dominic asked in his usual cold tone as he looked at his second and third in commands.

“No news till now.” Nathan spoke up with a small frown on his face as he fell into thoughts.

“Alpha Derrick is lying low. No threats or anything from them. They have been too silent.” Justin answered as it was his duty to keep a tab on what’s happening around the packs.

“Try to gather enough proof against him and then I will call a community meeting to put him down from the thrones. Because if he is really misusing his power by kidnapping and torturing people, he doesn’t deserve that.” Dominic said in a cold tone while looking outside the window to the big forest.

 “We can talk to Suzanne and Athena. I am sure what they have got to say is enough to throw him off the throne.” Justin suggested. 

“Yeah, let them settle down a little bit and then we can talk to them.” Nathan replied. 

“We can’t let our guard down. Even though he doesn’t stand a chance in front of us, he might attack Athena if he gets any chances.” 

He added after a few seconds.

Dominic’s expression changed as soon as he heard that. The thought of someone hurting her didn’t sit well with him. No one can hurt her. No one!

‘Why? Because only you got the right to do that?’ His wolf snapped in his mind, stilling him. He clenched his jaw before blocking his wolf immediately before he could mess up his mind once again.

“Oh yes, from that I remembered, Dominic? Where is she and Ace going to stay? Can she live with me and Patricia? We both absolutely love Ace! He is the sweetest.” Justin gushed, making both the man frown. But before Dominic could say something, Nathan spoke up.

“Why would they stay with you instead of staying with us? They are going to stay with me and Suzanne. We both love that little buddy a lot and I am sure he likes me the best as well, instead of you.” Nathan said with a smirk.

“You are daydreaming, bro. He likes me the best!” Justin said with a smirk. 

Nathan was going t o retreat back when they both were cut off by Dominic’s next words. 

“You guys are so delusional and fighting for no reason. He likes me the best. I am his superhero.” Dominic said with a smirk. They both looked at him in shock. Their jaws dropped a s they looked at him with widened eyes. 

“What… What did you say? Superhero?” Nathan asked in disbelief.

“You talked to him?” Justin asked with the similar expression as Nathan.

“You got along with him?”

 “Since when do you like kids?” 

“You didn’t scare him, did you?” 

“I don’t believe you!”

They both started to banter, making Dominic smirk with triumph. He felt proud and somewhat

… satisfied. He liked this feeling. He liked the feeling of being Ace’s superhero. He liked the feeling of being one of the people whom Ace likes. How much he would have liked if he was his s…! 

“He is such a sweet child, isn’t he?” Justin sighed with a happy smile on his face.

 “There is no doubt about that. But such a pity he is just a mere rogue.” Dominic said in a cold tone, masking his emotions. Nathan and Justin frowned hearing him. They shared a look with each other before looking back at him.

“Does that change anything, Dominic? He is just two years old.” Nathan stated with a frown.

“You can’t blame him for that as well where he clearly doesn’t have any connections.” Justin added after him.
