Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Her tired self 

"Athena! What are you still doing? And why aren’t you ready yet?!"

Suzanne exclaimed in shock, her tone lacked patience.She looked worried yet a little angry seeing her best friend.

"Uh..I don’t think it’s a good idea for a maid like me to join the party …"Athena tried to give reasons but Suzanne wasn’t going to have it.

"Shut up.Don’t anger me, Athy! And go and get ready.You have only five minutes to get ready." Suzanne said in a threatening tone.

Athena shook her head at her and let out a sigh.

"First of all, it’s only six in the afternoon and the party starts at eight in the evening.If I wanted to go, I would have had infinite time to do that.And secondly I really don’t think it’s going to be right for me to go.Also, who is going to take care of Ace if I go to a damn party I don’t have any connection and interest in?" Athena scowled.

She suddenly got irritated, as if even the thought of that party angered her.

‘Why are you getting so annoyed?’ she heard her wolf’s tired and almost defeated voice.

She immediately felt that tiredness flow through her body, making her tired as well.

At that moment, she knew that it was just the start.

She still has to face a lot as the day goes short slowly.

She could feel all that coming to crash her.

But can she do anything about it? Nothing! And it was affecting her wolf more than it was affecting her..

‘Stop talking and save energy!’ She snapped at her wolf in her mind before concentrating back at her confused friends.

"Oh, my! Athena! Don’t tell me you didn’t buy a dress for the party! Oh my! We need to think of something fast! Let me think if I have something which you can wear."

Patricia exclaimed and started to freak out thinking about what Athena would wear.

"Seriously, Patricia? You think that’s the issue that’s worrying me? That’s the least thing that I could care least about."

Athena scoffed, she was getting irritated too easily.

"Then what’s the issue that’s worrying you? Ace? Are you worried about who is going to take care of him?"

Suzanne asked with a frown and Athena immediately nodded at her.

"Yes.No matter what, I can’t leave him alone here, nor can I leave him in the hands of some caretakers.So, that means I am not going anywhere.I am fine here with my son.Let us enjoy each other’s presence."

Athena said in a stubborn tone while looking outside the window, at the forest which was getting dark as the sun started to set back slowly.

At that moment she knew what was going to be her partner in misery today.

The forest.

The forest always fascinated her beyond imagination.

It’s been her best friend, partner and an all-time place to hide from anything and everything.

May that be pain or danger.

The forest witnessed it all.

And the same thing is going to happen today.

It’s going to witness another part of her life today.

"Don’t worry about that, Athena.Ace is going to join us in the party as well."

Suzanne gave her the shocking piece of information which pulled her out of her thoughts.

"What?! No, he is not!" Athena exclaimed in shock and anger.

"No way in hell my son is going to attend that party."

She shouted with a deep frown, getting defensive.
