The Alpha's Rejected Heir novel Chapter 14

Rosalyn's pov

After the rogue attack was over I went to the guest bathroom and took a shower seeing as Alessandro was using our bathroom. After bathing I got dressed in a white sundress with multicolored floral designs and white flip flops. I went to the kitchen to get something to eat and bumped into Genevieve, we made our way to the kitchen and I made some chicken Alfredo for her and myself.

We were eating and talking when I felt Alessandro's anger spike, his feelings ran through me like an electric current I turned towards the window to see Alessandro with his foot on a boy's throat. I sighed getting up to go outside when I saw Alessandro say something to the boy then walked away, I was relieved that it didn't turn into a fight as I sat back down on my chair. Alessandro walked into the kitchen not long after

"Hey momma" he said placing a kiss on my cheek

"hey aunt Gen" he waved to Genevieve

"hey Alessandro" we both replied as I smiled at him proudly.

"what's got you happy and smiling all of a sudden?" He questions skeptically

"Nothing really I'm Just proud of you for handling that situation without any extreme violence" I told him.

"Wait you saw that!!?" He asked surprised.

"we both did Genevieve answered

"and we're glad you didn't crush Mike's trachea" she said smiling sheepishly.

"Yeah well that's what he gets for calling mom a heifer" he told us angrily

"don't worry about anything they say mi bambino I could care less, remember that we're only here for the wedding and we'll be gone soon" I told him.

"I know mom but alpha dumbass didn't hold up his end of the bargain so if I kill someone he can't have any issues with it"

I chuckled at the nickname he gave Ke'shaun

"now now Alessandro just let them be, they're not worth our time"

"ok fine I promise I won't harm anyone else."

"Good" I replied getting up to go to the sink

"unless it's necessary" he continues"

I stopped in my tracks and turned around glaring at him and Genevieve who was trying and failing miserably to hide her chuckles. Ignoring them I made my way to the sink to wash my dish out.

Jermaine walked into the kitchen and I felt my heart picked up a couple paces, what is he doing here. I know Alessandro could feel my emotions based on the way he was looking at me and if that wasn't bad enough Genevieve kept laughing and taunting me through the mind link like a little child while I kept glaring at her. From the corner of my eyes I could see Jermaine looking at me and my face would turn into a tomato every time our eyes meet.

"Ok guys this weirdness is really starting to creep me out. First of all mom stop acting like a blushing teenager every time uncle Jermaine looks at you it's weird, aunt Genevieve quit holding in your laugh your lungs might explode and uncle Jermaine if you wanna ask mom on a date just do it already I'm tired of hearing mom and aunt Genevieve "whisper" about how much you guys like each other. Oh and when you guys are gonna do the dirty please don't do it in our room and I also don't ever wanna walk in on you guys kissing that's gross." Alessandro suddenly blurted out while walking out the kitchen leaving us all with our mouths wide open.

"Close your mouths before you catch flies" Genevieve says her face red from laughter.

I really didn't know that Alessandro had realized what was going on between Jermaine and me. I mean there isn't anything going on because I still haven't told him how I felt but I should have known Alessandro would realise something was up, i swear that boy See's everything.

By now the awkwardness in the kitchen was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Jermaine and I just stood there staring at each other not saying a word and from our expressions I could tell we both were still dealing with the shock of Alessandro's little rant earlier.

"Uhh am gonna give you guys some space to umm.. talk so... Yeah" Genevieve muttered before running out the kitchen

I swear she's a kid trapped in a woman's body. The room was still awkward so I decided to break the silence

"ugh sorry about what Alessandro said he's just messing around with us so don't listen to him because I don't want whoever it is your dating to hear about this and think we're involved in anything everyone here already hates me for whatever reason I don't wanna give them another one to add to their list" I told him as I turned and walked away.

I felt someone grabbed my hand, I turned to see Jermaine holding unto me as his emerald green eyes drew me in.

"Well I don't know about you but am not dating anyone and Alessandro's right I do like you" he replied

I had to bite down on my lips to restrict the gasp that almost left my mouth, I mean I know he was single based on Genevieve's stalking and now he just confirmed it.

"Plus he continued "I've always liked you Rosalyn ever since we were in highschool but you never noticed me you were always busy in the library or doing some type of school work so I never got the chance to tell you how I felt and then that night at ke'shaun's party i spent the entire night looking for you but I never saw you and the next morning I went to new York to take over one of my dad's businesses and then I found my mate but if am being honest even then I still thought of you I always wished you were my mate. Don't get me wrong I loved my mate and when she died it was like she took my soul with her but then you came back and it was like life was thrown into my body again but then I found out you were my brother's mate and once again my heart was broken, and with everything that happened over the couple days I wasn't planning on telling you how I felt and yet here I am" he confessed looking in my eyes.

I could feel my heart beats increase as shock washed over me, my mouth quivered as I tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out. My whole body was shaking as I stood there completely speechless not knowing what to say

"you don't have to say anything right now Rosalyn and I understand if you dont feel the same way but I just wanted you to know how I feel" he said walking away.

I don't know what took over me as I said

"wait,"

This time it was my turn to stop him from leaving. I held onto his arms as I said

"I always liked you but you were the kid that had everything, the brother of the soon to be alpha you were basically at the top of the social triangle and i was the future beta's nerdy sister so I never had the courage to tell you how I felt, then I met my mate and we all know how that turned out but the other day when we were talking in the woods and you hugged me I guess it brought back old memories and feelings but we can't be together seeing as my ex-mate is your brother and your parents hate me. I told him honestly

"Rosalyn if I cared about what my parents or my brother thought do you think I would be here telling you how I felt? I know it's probably wrong to feel this way but I can't help it it's how I feel and even if you don't wanna be with me now I won't stop until I have you" he said stepping closer.

Soon enough he was directly in front of me our faces only mere inches apart, I could feel his breath on my lips as I stared into his eyes, they held so much emotions I couldn't identify them all. My stomach erupted in butterflies as he brushed his thumb over my cheek, he moved closer cupping my cheeks in his soft hands and as he was about to put his lips on mine I felt a surge of pain jolt through my body I fell to the ground clutching my heart. I knew the pain wasn't coming from me it was Alessandro and yet it felt as if it wasn't his pain either.

"Rosalyn what's wrong?" Jermaine asked as he knelt down beside me.

"Alessandro" was all I said before I got up and ran to where I sensed my baby boy.

He was in garden I'm the front yard so I ran with all my speed to find out what was wrong, I saw some people gathered around him but i quickly pushed them aside to get to my baby, I almost fainted at the sight before me.

Alessandro had his claws stuck in Jermaine's little sister's neck.
