The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith

Liam walked into the hospital at that moment, his face red and his eyes bloodshot. I knew at that moment that he had heard everything I was discussing with the doctor.

“So you plan to keep the baby? Why? After everything he did to you. Do you know he f u c k

i n g le ft you to die?”His voice roared in, anger brimming in his tone twisted with jealousy.

He wasn’t angry with me. I couldn’t see the anger directed at me, but it was at Lucian. The jealousy was all about him, seeing as I still have the feelings to make me want to keep the child.

“I don’t want to kill an innocent child’s life. I don’t want to do that!” I blurted, and he sighed, running his fingers through his

hair.

“There is no reason to keep the child of a man who wants you dead. You are dead to him, and he should also be dead in your eyes. Imagine you died; will the child survive? Everything is gone. Please, don’t keep the baby.” He spoke with a coaxing

“The child did no wrong by being killed. It is none of its business. I am keeping it.” I stated it firmly.

es do with having feelings for Lucian? Do you, in any case, still feel like the child should bring you.

it have anakiri together? Tell me, do you still love him? Because if you want a child, I can give you one.” He breathes, slumping on the chair at the comer, his eyes on me as they scrutinize by face as if trying to find the whole answer from it.

“I don’t have feelings for him. He is dead to me, but this child is mine. It should be dead, but it survived like a hero. I won’t

be the one to…

“Fine, it’s all fine. You can keep it, but promise me that you will never return it to him for any reason. We will keep the child a secret, and I’ll claim him or her as mine, and we can live our lives without the baby knowing he has a father who abandoned it to die.” He said that, and I could feel the possessiveness in his voice.

He really doesn’t want me to be with another man. He loves me, and I am sure of that, but one thing is certain in my heart; I really can’t deny it. Everything about him was evidence of his love for me, but I knew he wasn’t going to be the man for me,

As much as I appreciated

his care and love, and his resilience to make our relationship work, I still knew it was not going to work because my heart still belonged to no one else than Lucian.

He had hurt me so much that I should actually forget he existed, but every f u c k i g time I tried to move on and give space for another man, it just didn’t work.

His face is all over my head, and the memories of him are all I can think of.

Maybe it was because he was my mate; I can’t actually tell. It hurts that he was currently with another girl, whom he said he would marry. It really aches my heart that he pushed me away like a trash can, but then my s t u p d heart still hoped he would come back, and because of that, I couldn’t hate him.

Instead, I was so excited to hear his baby was still in my stomach. It was good evidence to prove that I was innocent of the allegations of killing the baby.

I badly wanted to run to him and break the news to me, making him realize it was all lies made against me to split us.

“You still love him. There is no need to lie or try to cover up. You still f u c k i n g love a man who left you out in the woods to die. He didn’t care about you a bit. You told him you had a miscarriage, and this was what he did. Selene, don’t put yourself through this suffering. Don’t hurt yourself because of how you think you feel. That man isn’t…”

“Liam, please. We are talking about my friend here. Fine, he did all that to me, but I still believe he will change after realizing..

“Realizing what!!!” He barked, jumping to his feet. “Hey, just don’t act timid. Lucian has moved on, and you should do the same. Is it that there is no way you can give me your heart? We can learn to fall in love and find solace in each other’s arms, L am talking to my father currently, so he will accept you. He muttered, signing tiredly.

“Tell me why you still like Lucian.” He added, hissing in annoyance.

I kept silent, unsure of what to say to him. I knew he was very berserk and was just trying hard to hold his temper. There was no way I could hide my feelings for Lucian. He was the man I wanted-the man my heart and soul wanted to spend the rest of my life with-and no one else could change that.

The only reason in my head was because he was my mate, and that should be enough reason, right?

“Liam, let’s just take things easy and slow. We…”

“You already have someone you love in mind. I was only an option for survival while you planned to go back to him. But I have something to tell you. Let me open your eyes to reality, because it seems you’re blind. Lucian will accept you simply

will realize because of the baby in your womb, not because he loves you. And when you bore the baby and he grows, you

upid you had been to go back to him.”

All he was saying seemed to be entering from one ear and leaving from the other. I knew it was all words built out of envy and jealousy. Even if he was right, it’s unfortunate that I still don’t mind being dumped later on. If the baby would make Lucian be close to me, then be it.

I just want to be where he is, see him again, and feel his touch. He was everything my soul wanted, and Liam was nowhere close to it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fall in love with Liam. It is so sad to see that he was head over heels in love with me.

We were still in the hospital ward when a knock sounded on the door, and it was opened to reveal one of the royal guards. He rushed in with a letter and bowed to Liam.

“That’s a letter from Lucian to you.’ He said he was handing it to Liam.

He opened it with a squeezed face, contorted into a mask of disgust and hatred. For real, he hates Lucian now just because
