The Alpha's Rejected Heir novel Chapter 29

Alessandro POV

Flashback

"Mama" he called out

"Mama it's me Alessandro please wake up" he pleaded

"Mia Regina (my queen) please wake up" he continued to cried

"MAMAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

------------------------------------------------------

I shake my mother's small body urging her to wake up. She looked nothing like the strong beautiful woman I know, instead she looks defeat and weak something my mother isn't.

"Come on momma wake up" I begged as I feel my eyes burn from the unshed tears that refuse to fall.

I tried projecting my feelings through our bond but it wouldn't work since I no longer had access to my emotions. The downside of knowing how to switch off ones emotions is that it doesn't come back as easy as it goes.

"Mom please I need to know that your really here please open your eyes, I need you" I whispered as my chest aches

A few minutes later I feel her hand move then she started stirring. I sat on the edge of the bed shaking her gently as I urged her to wake up. I unmasked my scent as she started moving about so it would be the first thing she notices when she wakes up. She continued stirring until her eyes opened, however, instead of the bright beautiful hazel orbs my mother had I see lifeless brown  unfocused eyes fluttering around the room.

"Mom?" I say but she doesn't seem to hear or recognize my voice.

I touch her hands as she sits up in the bed making her halt her movements and her eyes finally land on me.

"Momma" I say quietly as her eyes look at me with uncertainty

"It's me mom it's Al I'm back!" I say trying to clear the confusion from her eyes

"I'm so sorry I left you mom I thought- I thought you were dead and I felt so hopeless. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you I'm so sorry I didn't find you earlier" I say as I feel my eyes fill with water but still refusing to spill any

"A-ale aless Alessandro?" She asks in a cracked voice

Looking over at her bedside table I see a glass filled with water. picking it up I put the glass to her lips as she slowly drinks the cool liquid. When the glass is empty I put it back as my mom stares at me as if trying to figure out if I'm an illusion or not.

"Your not hallucinating mom I really am here" I say knowing exactly what is going through her mind

"Are you really here?" She whispered touching my face carefully as if I'd disappear if he applied too much force

"I'm here mom" I say holding her hands to my cheek

"My baby boy!!!" She suddenly yells as she throws herself into my arms while wrapping hers around my neck.

I held unto her as she shook from the tears she cried into my shoulder. My own tears build up in my eyes as my body shakes as well but yet again my body refuses to set them free.

"Mi bambino h-how are you here? Everyone thought you were dead not even the council could find you" she asked

"I'll explain everything later right now I just need to know that your ok" I replied as I pulled her closer to me.

"I'm so sorry Al I'm so sorry" she cried

"What are you talking about I'm the one who should be apologising" i say

"No sweetie I'm the one at fault here. If i had been stronger none of this wouldn't have happened, if i-"

"Shh its not your fault none of this is your fault its Kevin's and that is why I'm gonna enjoy ripping his heart out" i say with a growl

"What do you mean do you know where he is?" She asks

"He's currently unconscious and duct taped in ke'shaun's office" i tell her

"What!!?" She suddenly yells then winces while holding her throat.

"Calm down mom and stop yelling your throat is most likely sore" i softly reprimand

"There are a lot of things you need to know so I'm taking you to ke'shauns office so i can explain to everyone at the same time are you up for that" i ask

"Yes I'm fine just don't leave me" she says

"I'm not letting you out of my sight" i assure her

Picking mom up from her bed i held her gently in my arms and close to my chest. I could feel the turmoil within me and my wolf simmer a bit from knowing our mother is alive. I walk through the door and down the hallway then entered the elevator that took us to the top floor where everyone was waiting. Getting off the elevator i walked straight into the office without knocking. As soon as i entered the room with my mom in hand all eyes turned to us. There were a lot more people in here than when i left. There is aunt gen, jermaine, the third in command who's name i forgot, three warriors, izzy and Mrs black

"ALESSANDRO! Izzy yelled. I quickly but carefully paced my mom on a chair as she crashed into me.

"Hey!" I say hugging her tighter

"Alesssandro Rafael Parker if you ever and i mean ever disappear on me again i swear to the moon goddess i will whoop your ass so bad you'll think twice about leaving your room before consulting me" she says and starts hitting me suddenly

"I'm sorry izzy it wont happen again" i say

Next up was aunt gen "Al? Oh my gosh alessandro is that really you?" I hear her voice say. Turning around i saw my aunt Genevieve sitting next to uncle micheal with a baby in her arms.

She gave the baby to uncle micheal before standing up and running over to me with tears falling from her face as she cried out loudly. I think its fair to say it has been an extremely emotional day.

"Oh alesssandro i thought I'd never see you again i missed you so much" she cried

"I missed you too aunt gen and I'm sorry for making you worry" i apologize

"Wait h-how are you even here? No one knew where you were or how to find you it was like you completely vanished" she asks

"I will explain everything in minute" i say

She nods before letting go of me and walking back over to my uncle. I turn to the side to see jermaine looking at me as if he was looking at a ghost. I could tell he wanted to come over but was hesitant for some reason.

"Well is that any way to greet your nephew who has been missing for months?" I say teasingly bringing him out of his trance like state

"Oh my gosh its really you" he says suddenly as he quickly closes the gap between us and pulls me into a bone crushing hug

"Hey jermaine" i chuckled hugging him back

After a few minutes of embrace we pulled apart and his eyes landed on my mom. However instead of going to her side or at least saying something to her like i thought he would he quickly averted his eyes when she looked at him while squirming in her seat.

"I can go if you want me to" he whispers lowly for only mom to hear but i heard him clearly
