Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Temperature 

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE?!"

Athena woke up with a jump from her sleep and looked around in full alert.

But the first thing that caught her eyes were the sleepy eyes of Dominic looking at her.She was lost in those beautiful orbs which are rarely this calm.

They both were looking at each other that they forgot their environment and what was happening around.

But another loud shout pulled them back to the world.

"Stay away from my mate!"

Stacey growled out once again as she glared at Athena with murderous glare.

She was standing by the couch where Dominic was sleeping.

Athena was on the floor.

Yesterday night she fell asleep by putting her head on the couch only as she tried to figure out the past.She didn’t realise when she dozed off with her head beside Dominic’s.

"Stacey, stop shouting.You are giving me a headache."

Dominic groaned as he sat up straight.

Athena also stood up quickly after that and put a great amount of distance between her and themselves.She put on a blank face immediately as she looked at them.

"You are probably having a headache because of the hangover.I will bring something for that.

"Saying that Athena was going to leave the place immediately."You are not going anywhere! Stop right there!"

Stacey shouted and stopped Athena at her place.

She just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible because it was suddenly filled with negativity.

"I told you not to shout, Stacey.Don’t shout!"

Dominic snapped in irritation as he rubbed his forehead and looked at Athena with a frown.

"What is she doing here? And what hangover is she talking about?" Stacey asked furiously while spitting fire through her eyes at Athena.

"I got drunk yesterday.She made me food and took care of my mess like the maid she is.Nothing else happened.But I don’t know what she was doing near me,"

Dominic said in an emotionless tone as she looked at Athena with cold eyes.

And there he is back again! Athena looked at him with shock.

After the way he behaved yesterday night, she didn’t like the way he was back to his previous self again.It‘s not like he was still a jerk yesterday.

But a better version of jerk.

But now he was a harsh jerk.She takes back her words.

She always wants him to be drunk.

"Answer me, you worthless maid! What were you doing near him?! Were you taking advantage of him?" Stacey asked with her eyes flashing golden.

Her wolf was on the surface but that didn’t worry Athena at all.She wasn’t afraid of a brat wolf like Stacey.

"Take advantage of him? Who is he? A baby like Ace?"

Athena scoffed sassily with a small roll of her eyes and entertainment Dominic looked at her in a shock as soon as he heard her.

She compared him to her son.

It wasn’t right.

Then why did it sound so right? He looked away from her while fuming.

He suddenly felt a wave of anger pass through his body.

"How dare you compare him with your worthless son?! He is the alpha of alpha’s and what is your son?! Nothing! He doesn’t even know who his father is!"
