Chapter 25
Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate
Chapter 25: Dominicâs order "Oh, now thatâs something we can talk about." Nathan spoke up with a thoughtful look on his face as he thought over if he should discuss the thing about Athena with him or not.
"What is it?"
Dominic asked in a blank tone as he looked at Nathan with a serious look on her face.
"Iâ¦uhh⦠itâs noâ¦nothingâ¦"
Nathan hesitated as he was confused about if it would be appropriate to share it with Dominic.
"You forgot to block your mind while thinking, Nathan." Dominic spoke up in an icy cold tone, making Nathan shocked.
"What?!"
Nathan exclaimed as he wasnât prepared for it now.
He would have to share it all if Dominic uses his alpha power and commands him, he wonât be able to refuse it.
"What are you thinking about that woman? Tell me what it is!"
Dominic demanded while trying to control his anger which was rising up.
This anger wasnât because he heard Athenaâs name.
It was because he heard Athenaâs name in Nathanâs mind.
He didnât like it.
Even the thought of any men near her started to bother him nowadays.
What the hell is wrong with him!
"If you really want to know about it, first you have to answer one of my questions."
He knew how impulsive his friend can be when he is angry and the topic rogue triggers him to "What is it?"
Dominic let out a small growl of impatience.
"What do you feel about Athena?" Nathan asked with a frown as he looked at Dominic and waited for him to answer.
"What do you mean?" Dominic asked in confusion and a little bit of shock as he wasnât prepared for this question.
"The question was simple, Dominic.What do you feel about her?" Nathan stated in an emotionless tone.
"I feel only hatred.Nothing else.Why are you even asking? Isnât that obvious?" Dominic answered with a frown but he wasnât looking at Nathan as he spoke up.
Nathan noticed that "Thatâs why I am asking.Your hatred toward her is too obvious.It almost looks as if itâs not about your revenge.It looks like something else.Whatâs going on? Would you tell me that?" Nathan asked with a frown.
He wasnât blind.He sees things.He isnât the beta of the pack for no reason.
And he knew something was going on with his alpha aka best friend.He is on the edge way too much nowadays.
Scanned with CamScanner Dominic looked irritated by Nathanâs questions as he frowned at him.
"If you donât want to tell me what it is, you donât have to.I donât want to hear.You can leave.Donât irritate me more."
Dominic snapped before taking the file back in his hand as he started t o flip the pages again.
"Okay, fine.Stop being grumpy.I will tell you.But you have to promise that you wonât freak out."
Nathan let out a sigh as he gave up at last.
"Just tell me already."Dominic snapped.
"Okay, fine.You were right, it was about Athena.I found out some interesting facts about her today morning from Suzanne.And I think you should know about it."
Nathan started.
"What facts? Is it about whoâs father of Ace? Or her second chance mate? Tell me about the danger you were talking about."Dominic asked in a little bit of a desperate manner and it surprised Nathan but what surprised him more was his question.
"Her second chance mate? She has a second chance mate? What happened to her first mate and how do you know about it?"Nathan asked in confusion.
Dominic looked at him with widened eyes when he realised that he messed up.
"I uhh⦠she told me that her first mate rejected her.And Ace was from her second chance mate.So, I was wondering if it was about that or not."
Dominic slowly said while looking around.
Nathan still had questions but he didnât ask that.
"No, it wasnât about that.It was about what happened in her previous pack.You see, Derrick had a stupid rules where they punish those who have child without mate.But guess what saved her?"
Nathan asked with a sigh.
"What?" Dominic asked with a frown.
"Suzanneâs one lie.But it wasnât a lie as well.A lie mixed with truth."
"What is it?"
"She said that Athena was the daughter of a very powerful alpha from where she ran away.So, if Derrick tries to hurt her, Suzanne will tell âAthenaâs fatherâ and that shit scared Derrick" Nathan said.
"How did he believe that?"
Dominic asked because it was such a big fat lie which was clear as daylight.
Thereâs no way it is possible that she was a daughter of an alpha.She is a rogue.She can be nothing else.
"Because thereâs something about Athena that made him believe that was true and that itâ..."
Nathan took a deep breath as he still couldnât believe it.
"She has special blood which Derrick got smelt.Suzanne said that she has powerful blood in her."
After letting out another sigh, Nathan started to explain to him the things he found out through Suzanne.
All the while he was trying to read Dominicâs face.
Because it was such a big thing.He at least expected a surprise expression on his face.
Because a rogue having powerful blood is actually something surprising.
But Dominic didnât let out any expression until the last time.He sighed once again.
Dominicâs order "So, what do you think?"
Nathan asked with raised eyebrows but Dominicâs expression was cold.
"Nothing, go and make preparations for the big party tomorrow.I donât want any mistakes tomorrow."
Ordering that Dominic got up from the chair and left the room, leaving a confused Nathan behind.
Whatâs the meaning behind this silence?
