Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

As soon as I got back to the bedroom, I was carried to the bed by Aldrich, and to stop his mischievous behavior, I said sternly, “Will you accompany me to meet some people tomorrow morning?”

After changing his position, he pulled me to his chest and asked, “Who?”

“My adoptive parents and brother, and the person whom I once sought death for.”

Aldrich stopped combing my hair.

To prevent him from misunderstanding, I immediately explained, “He’s already a thing of the past. I don’t have any feelings for him now. I’m going to see him purely to take revenge for the sins he’s committed against me.”

Aldrich’s expression turned darker, and he asked in a deep voice, “Sins? What did he do to you?”

“It’s like what I told you before. He was rude to me and offended me, something like that...”

“Do you know that you always look at your right hand when you lie?” Aldrich interrupted me, “Tell me the truth, my dear. What did that b*stard do to you?”

Looking at his eyes that were filled with anger, I muttered to myself for a long time before finally coming up with a gentler explanation. “You know, I always thought he was willing to accept me as his fated mate, so I impulsively confessed. After being rejected, I felt embarrassed and jumped into the river in anger.”

“So, not only did that b*stard keep hanging on to you, but he also rejected you after you confessed to him. He even humiliated you and said that you better disappear forever. ”

I didn’t expect that he would be able to guess most of the truth. I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything. This further proved that Aldrich’s guess was correct.

He looked like he was about to rush out of the palace to kill someone. To prevent us from occupying the headlines of social news tomorrow, I immediately said, “He’s a complete b*stard. I’ve already thought of how to punish him. Tomorrow, you just have to follow me and hold the line. Don’t be impulsive.”

After staring at me for a long time, his shoulders suddenly drooped, and he buried himself in my arms, sighing.

“How good would it be if we knew each other since we were young?” He said sadly, “I’m so many years older than you. I can easily strip off all the rascals who bullied you and throw them into the river. Whoever dares to laugh at you, I’ll make sure they don’t come back, whether they’re Alphas’ son or some other pointless identity.”

I hugged him gently and combed his messy hair. “And be childhood sweethearts? Of course, that’s the best-case scenario. But I’m happy enough now. You’re by my side and will be my shelter for the next few decades.”

We kissed gently, without any desire, only lingering love.

We finished our first meal of the day on the bed, then we packed up and prepared to greet my parents.

Seeing Kara and the servants clean up the messy bed in an orderly manner, my face couldn’t help but heat up. I went to the living room to change my clothes. Bertha was waiting there. As the acting head servant, she had to help Kara inspect every part of the palace. Coincidentally, she had come to my suite.

“Happy marriage, Your Highness.” She bowed to me and said, ” I can’t give you anything precious as a wedding gift. I weaved this pair of wreaths with the flowers I cultivated. I asked the werewolf grandmaster to make it eternal. I hope you don’t mind.”

I received the beautiful floral wreath in surprise. “Thank you! How do you know that I like fresh flowers?”

“I am a servant, Your Highness. It is my duty to keep your preferences in mind.”

“That’s so considerate...” looking at the flower wreath, I recalled the new message I had received. “Regarding your brother, the werewolf grandmasters think he went northwest where he disappeared. The people I’ve sent out are urgently searching that area, and I believe they’ll receive the news soon.””

After Bertha left, Aldrich and I went to see my parents together. I didn’t expect a few other guests in the study – Duke Frank, Arkadius, Morton, and Master Mary.

The elders all got up to wish me a happy marriage, and I returned their greetings shyly.

After I arrived, they were observant and left one after another. Duke Frank stayed for a while and spoke to his son before he also left.

My parents were the only ones left in the study. I gathered my courage and said, “Father, Mother, regarding that application... I’ve already approved it. I’ll be meeting my adoptive parents tomorrow morning.”

“You should do this, child,” my father said kindly. “There’s no way to repay them for raising you. Your mother and I must thank them for everything they’ve done for you.”

“There’s another person,” I said carefully. “Benson Walton, the current Alpha of the Shadow Pack. I have some scores to settle with him.”

My parents could vaguely guess what was going on and asked, “Is that related to you throwing yourself into the water?”

I explained the grudges between Benson and me. By the end of it, my mother was already furious, and even my father, who had always been calm, had a dark expression.

“I should probably properly evaluate the character of these young Alphas,” my father said in a deep voice. “Arrogant second-generation kids can’t give their people a good life.”
