Rejected and claimed by the alpha beast Novel by Paige T

Elise was pregnant; she could barely think and barely breathe as the news came through, but this time she felt no fear but so much joy that she turned to her mate, whose eyes were already glistening with tears, before she turned back to Mae.

“Congratulations, Luna; I’m so happy for you both!” Mae said excitedly, bowing before she heads for the door and leaves the couple alone. Elise felt her face wet with tears. She reached a hand to her tummy, softly caressing it and turning to look at her mate.

“My love, you’re pregnant, you’re pregnant!” he repeated before he dove in for a hug and kiss that Elise reciprocated with tearful joy and laughter. Now she realized what her wolf had meant when she talked about a princess.

“Our girl is going to be perfect,” she muttered to Rygan’s surprise, leaving the alpha’s eyes to widen in response to her words while he caressed his mate’s cheeks, admiring her stardusted freckled cheeks now wet with tears, before their gaze locked and his brows furrowed in confusion.

“How did…”

“My wolf, she told me, I mean kind of… but now I know what she meant,” she explained to her mate, Rygan’s lips stretched into a smile as he leaned forward and kissed her.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

They had gone home after the news from the clinic; it wasn’t even up to an hour, and Rygan had turned into an overprotective male because his mate was pregnant. He snarled at any male, even if it was male **ts that passed them, scaring them all instantly.

Elise had to bite back her laughter and apologize to the males who fell victim to the alpha’s snarl until they reached their chamber. Rygan picked her up, slowly whirling his mate around in the air as Elise laughed, holding on tight and hugging her alpha.

“You are a gem, my love, and you and the baby are a gift to me; I love you; thank you so much,” he muttered with a kiss to her lips, one that deepened with ease, but they were soon interrupted by a knock on the door.

“I’m sorry, Luna, but your son wants to see you.” The maid called quickly as Ethan ran into the room and into Elise’s awaiting arms.

“Mom!” He exclaimed, Elise looked like she was about to cry; she felt so bad that she had neglected her son the moment she arrived back. “I’m so sorry, my love; I missed you so much!” She called with a kiss to her son’s cheeks.

“I heard you weren’t feeling well; are you ok now, Mom? I was so worried, Mom,” he sniffled out with a caress to Elise’s cheeks. Rygan felt his heart melt at what his son had done; the alpha then came closer to them, and Elise let out a yell when he picked both of them up and twirled them around.

“I love you both so much,” he called with a kiss to both their cheeks, making Ethan smile, arching into Rygan’s open arms, tightly embracing his father before he looked back at his mom, who stared at both her mate and son with so much love her heart could burst.

“I wasn’t sick, baby; it’s because I’m carrying your baby sister,” she explained calmly to Ethan. The excitement in his gaze grew, and he looked at his mother, wide-eyed with growing excitement.

“Really? I’m going to have a baby sister? Yay! That means I can play with her and teach her to catch a ball,” he hopped in Rygan’s hold excitedly. Elise smiled before heading to the bed, sitting down with a sigh, feeling a drain in her strength.

“And mom needed to rest, but she needs both of us for strength. Ethan called. Rygan was a s****r for his request as he took him and laid him beside Elise, who wrapped her hand around him, placing kisses on the boy’s face, which had him giggling happily.

Rygan then joined them, causing the bed to dip. He crawled forward and laid on his side, facing his mate, who smiled warmly at him, the beautiful family that he swore to protect with his life. It wasn’t long till they all fell into a deep sleep, with his hands wrapped around her waist, as the calming darkness covered them.

Elise wakes up from sleep a few hours later. She peels an eye open to see that she is alone on the bed. She pushes herself off the covers, blinking away the bright rays of light from her eyes.

She stretched out before she called for her mate, “Rygan?” There was no answer. She stood up from the bed and headed to the bathroom, washing her face and cleaning up before she came back out, this time calling out for him telepathically.

*Rygan? Where are you?*

*I will be back soon, my love; hang tight* he sends down the bond. Elise sees this as an opportunity to go back to bed; it was the nurse’s orders to rest in bed at least for a full day because she had tired herself out with work.

But what could she do? The people were counting on her and Rygan; most days she felt sorry for her mate, and they couldn’t spend much time with each other as before; her wolf scolded her too, knowing they both yearned to be close to him.

She lounged lazily on the bed, lulled in and out of sleep for a few minutes before she heard the door open. To her surprise and amusement, she saw Rygan juggling with a large tray of food and books in his other hand.

“There’s the bedhead I missed,” he said with a fond smile. Elise tried to pat her fiery red hair down, watching with a smile as her mate balanced the tray in front of her.

“Where is Ethan?”

“He was more than excited for his match with the other kids that he kicked me awake, so don’t worry, I made sure to be careful not to wake you up; we had our bonding time in the tub before I dressed him up,” he said with a kiss to her cheek before he poured juice in a cup.

“Thank you; you didn’t have to do this; I would have come to the dining table.”

“This is nothing,” he cut off with a kiss to her lips. She gladly indulged, taking her sweet time to taste her mate; moons she missed having lazy and cozy mornings like this. She quickly dug into the hearty breakfast that had her almost moaning from its savory and sweet flavors.

She loved how Rygan was attentive enough to rid the plate of any seafood smell that could make her feel queasy and sick. “And also, don’t get mad,” he muttered with a mischievous gaze as Elise paused her second serving of bacon and stared at him.

“What did you do?” She asked her mate.

“I had an emergency meeting with the council and Jax, who you came with; I’ve put him in charge of the moon city until further notice, and I assure you won’t be tied down; you can still work on it, but your travel will be halved because I want you and the child to be ok and rest better.”

How could she even get mad at him when he was doing this all for her? She rolled her eyes yet couldn’t stop herself from smiling; she reached forward, giving a playful nip to his neck, causing the male to hiss in pain yet pleasure.

“That’s your punishment.”

“That was more like a reward, my love,” he muttered. His voice darkened. Elise saw him peer at her with a sultry desire, his gaze staring down at the loose robe around her chest.

“And with all the time you have with me now and your touch I’ve craved all this while, you might just have to punish me longer,” he said with a kiss to her nape, and the middle of her breast made Elise shudder with desire.

He took the tray away with a whisper in her ears. “Breakfast is over; now I will gladly give you your dessert, my love, one that will fill you up for a long, long time,” he said darkly, sneaking a hand under her robe, making Elise’s core clench and ache with desire.

He was ready to worship and take his mate. She knew this morning was about to end, and she couldn’t wait.
