Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Superhero’s shoulder 

"Athy, did something happen while we were away?" Suzanne asked in a worried tone as they three walked back to the pack house.

That’s where Nathan and Justin were with Ace.

Athena, who was lost in some thoughts, looked at her in confusion.

"Nothing happened.Why did you ask?" She asked in confusion.

She didn’t want anyone to know about her past or to know about her interaction with her father.She didn’t tell Suzanne and Patricia about it and planned to keep it to herself only.

"Did you see the big frown you had on your face? And you have been really quiet since we met again after shopping.Are you sure everything is okay?"

Patricia spoke up in a worried tone as she tried to read Athena.But she was quick to mask her emotions.

"Oh, it‘s nothing.I just hope Ace didn‘t trouble Nathan and Justin much."

Athena avoided answering the questions smartly as they all entered the pack house.

"Don’t worry, I am sure they have handled -…Well, HE handled him well."

Patricia spoke up in a weird tone which made Athena frown at her.

"He…who-...?"

Athena couldn’t complete her sentence as she turned around to look where both the girls were looking and got a big shock.

Athena’s heart stopped beating as she looked at the scene.

Her fists became sweaty as her eyes stung with tears.

In front of her was the most beautiful yet the most destructive scene was happening Ace was on Dominic’s shoulder and laughing as if he got the biggest cookie in the world.

While there was a small smile at the corner of Dominic’s lips as well as he ran around the room behind Nathan and Justin to catch them.

Such a scene it is! Her heart clenched.

The scene was so soulful.She has never seen Ace so happy and cheerful.

He looks a lot healthy as well.

In the past she had never seen him smile so much.He always used t o be gloomy or scared if she wasn’t around.

And when she was with him, he used to pour everything out before falling asleep.

That‘s it.But now he looks so bright.He doesn’t look stuffed with emotions which he wants to pour in front of her in ten minutes when she returns.He looks free.

She loves to see him like this.She hates to admit that it was mostly because of Dominic.She hates to see how comfortable her son has gotten with that man.She hates it! She hates it so much! Suddenly, she felt an indescribable anger surge through her veins and she saw nothing but anger.She fisted her hands tightly as she stormed toward them.She snatched Ace away from Dominic’s hands in a flash before glaring at him deadly.

"How dare you?!"

She growled in anger as she took a step away from him.

"Don’t you understand things that were once said?"

The room suddenly went silent.

All the laughter was gone and tension filled the room completely.

Suzanne looked at her worriedly as she quickly took Ace away from her as she didn’t want him to be close to his angry mommy.
