The Alpha's Rejected Heir -
Chapter Sixteen
Rosalyn's pov
Isabelle and I sat in Alessandro’s hospital room as we watched him sleep. Michael, Jermaine andGenevieve had already visited and left, I had also apologized to izzy for my behavior the other day Iwas just angry and I took it out on her when really I should be snapping her father's neck but I'll letthat stay for now. I also noticed that since Isabelle shifted she looks more like a sixteen year oldnow, Her body is maturing into a young woman thanks to the help of her wolf, Jermaine has alsobeen teaching her everything she needs to know.
The doctor says Alessandro's condition is improving his vitals are stable, his breathing back tonormal and he doesn't look as pale as he did before so he may be able to wake up any day now. Icould tell that Isabelle blamed herself for his condition and I have told her many times before that itwasn't her fault but I know the person she needs to hear that from is laying unconscious at themoment. I really wish he would wake up soon I miss my baby boy so much I feel empty without himbesides his uncle's wedding is in less than a week and his best man is in a coma.
Micheal and Genevieve wanted to push back the wedding date but I told them they will be doing nosuch thing I know my boy will wake up in time. Another reason why micheal wanted to push backthe wedding was because they had originally planned on keeping it on the lake but ke'shaun had abitch fit after I beat the shit out of his asshole father and said that after Alessandro wakes up he andI couldn't stay their anymore which caused Michael to get hella angry he was even about to give uphis beta position; that was before I talked some sense into him. Our family has being this pack'sbeta since it was created that's not a legacy to throw away because of a disagreement so afterdrilling some sense into micheal he calmed down, I on the other hand packed up my andAlessandro's belongings and booked us a double room at the hotel in town then transferred him tothe hospital there as well with the help of the pack doctor, and that is where I am now.
I will admit that I was upset over the fact that ke'shaun basically kicked me out after his father wasthe reason my son is in a coma but after thinking about things logically I realize I didn't care seeingthat other than my family, izzy and Jermaine I hated everyone else in that pack.
Speaking of Jermaine, after I calmed down and wasn't on a murder path anymore he had came tosee me a couple of times and we finished our conversation that was interrupted the day izzy shifted.I wouldn't exactly say were dating, we made out a few times and that was it but we decided to takethings slow. Besides even though he basically set us up I still don't know how Alessandro feelsabout me and Jermaine so I need his approval before anything can happen and there's anotherreason for him to hurry and wake up.
There's a knock on the door then in walks Jermaine, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Hesmiled at me as he walked over placing his hands on my shoulders he kissed me on the cheek thenasked the same question he's been asking every time he visits,
"Any change in his condition?" I shook my head as I mentally smiled knowing the question beforeit's even asked
"Other than his vitals everything else is the same" I replied looking up into his green eyes that seemto draw me in each time I look into them.
We stay like that for a few minutes longer than normal but was brought from our dazed states bythe clearing of a throat, we looked over at izzy to see a knowing smirk etched on her lips. Wehaven't told anyone about us but I think they've figured it out thanks to Jermaine with his constantPDA.
I turned away hiding my red face as izzy laughed at my blushing state
"How long have you known?" I asked
"Since like forever I see the way you guys look at each other when you think no one is lookingbesides my brother is obsessed with PDA so I think it's safe to say that everyone knows. Also I sawyou guys making out by the door once when Jermaine and I were leaving the hospital after a visit"she answered her mischievous smirk still present.
"Told you so" Jermaine jeered when he heard Isabelle say everyone knows, I just glared at himseeing as he's the reason for that. It doesn't bother me though that they know it's not like we'remarried couples cheating on our spouses.
A nurse came by the room to let us know that visitation hours will be up in a few minutes so we saidour goodbyes to the unconscious Alessandro then head out. I had rented a car when I moved intothe hotel so it would be easier to travel instead of taking a taxi. Just as we reached the parking lotmy phone rang
Hello I answered
"Rosalyn I need your help" Genevieve cried into the phone
"Gen what's wrong?" I asked panicking internally
"Everything" she yelled
"The caterer's messed up the date of my appointment and the photographer backed out at the lastminute plus my period is late it should have started three days ago"
"Don't worry Gen everything's gonna be ok I'll come over and help you sort this out and I'll stop buythe pharmacy and buy some tests to replace out if your pregnant or not ok?"
"Ok" she sniffled
I hung up afterwards, Wow she is one hyper lady if this is how she reacts now what'll happen if she'sreally pregnant, poor micheal.
I turned back to Jermaine and said "I'm coming back to the pack house with you guys but I'll needto make a stop at the pharmacy first to pick some things up for Genevieve"
He nodded as he opened my car door for me like the gentleman he is.
"We'll stop by the pharmacy with you so we can go through the front gates together when we reachthe pack house I don't want those guards at the gate trying anything if they see you drive up byyourself"
I agreed then started the car as he climbed into his black Ford F150. I don't know why he needssuch a big ass vehicle it's almost the size of a tank.
I pulled up in the parking space of the pharmacy hopped out of my car and made my way to thedoor with izzy and Jermaine close behind. I go to the women's section as I call it and pick up threepregnancy tests
"Damn baby we haven't even been on our first date yet and you thinking that far ahead" Jermaineteased while Isabelle burst out laughing.
Glaring daggers at Jermaine I said "Sorry babe unfortunately these aren't for me because you can'thandle all this" then walked away adding a bit more sway in my hips leaving the stunned Jermainebehind as Isabelle laughed yelling
"Burn!"
After paying for the tests we leave the pharmacy. I laughed at Jermaine as he pouted all the wayback to his car because izzy kept teasing him about what I said. We drove out once again makingour way to the pack house, As expected the guards tried to block me from entering when theyrealized who was in the car behind Jermaine seeing as I haven't came back since I left. AfterJermaine threatened to have them all banished they let me through much to their dismay.Reaching the pack house Jermaine and I went inside, izzy spotted her friends and left as soon as thevehicle stopped. After promising to see him before I leave I make my way upstairs to Genevieve, Iknocked twice before a red eyed puffy face Gen opened the door. The water works began again asshe saw me
"Thank God your here Rose I don't know what to do I can't get another photographer for thewedding and the caterer's are refusing to reimburse the deposit” she cried
"It's ok hun here's what I want you to do go take a relaxing shower I'll make us some tea and you'lltake the tests while I deal with the wedding alright" she nods and walks to bathroom to do as Iinstructed.
I went to the kitchen and brewed a pot of camomile tea, after placing it on a tray along with twocups I head back upstairs. Genevieve is still in the shower when I get back so I got started on mytasks. I remembered a human friend I had when I was in highschool who's a photographer she and Ihad kept in touch over the years, I called her up in hopes that she could fulfill my request.
"Hey Kylie it's Rosalyn how are you" I say as she answers
"Hey Rosie am good what's up" she says in her ever peppy voice
"My brother is getting married on the 7th of November and the photographer ditched at lastminute so I was wondering if you could fill in for me the pay is reasonable plus you and I would geta chance to catch up, so could you make it" I ask a bit of desperation in my tone
"November 7th umm yeah I can make it I don't have anything planned for that day I'll fly out on thefourth so I can get prepared and you don't have to worry about the pay I'll do it for free think of itas a wedding gift to mikey I can't believe my little boy is all grown up" she says dramatically
"Thank you so much ky your a life saver. I'll pick you up at the airport when you reach just text methe info
"Ok I will bye" she replied
I called the catering company next and after threatening to get my so called lawyers from wallStreet involved and suing them for everything they've got they agreed to send back the deposit, attimes I scare even myself. Genevieve stepped out of the bathroom in yoga pants and one ofMicheal's sweatshirt minutes after I hung up the phone. I handed her a cup of tea as she asked if Imade any progress
"Well I asked an old friend of mine and Micheal's to be the photographer and she accepted she alsosaid she'd do it for free as a wedding gift to micheal and you can expect the deposit by tomorrow""She choked on her tea as she stared at me wide eyed in shock
"Omg Rosalyn your the best I've been trying to get those thieves to send back the money whiletrying to replace a photographer for hours and you did it in mere minutes. Are you secretly a sorceressor something” she asked with playful suspicion
"Wouldn't you like to know" I teased
"Now for the final task of the day" I say going into the shopping bag to take out the pregnancytests.
I could feel the nervousness wash off her in waves
"It's gonna be ok gen you may not even be pregnant it's not abnormal for a woman's period to belate and if you are pregnant i know micheal would be ecstatic he loves you with all his heart andhe'll love a baby just as much” I reassured her handing over the tests, nodding she enters thebathroom once again.
A minute later she comes back and sets the timer on her phone for three minutes. We wait silentlylost in our own thoughts until the timer beeps making Genevieve jump with a small squeak, Ilaughed at her jumpiness as we walked into the bathroom. Too nervous to look she asked me to dothe honours I looked at all three tests to see two plus signs and a smiley face, i turned around to herwith a straight face as she looked at me expectantly
"I'm sorry Genevieve but.... your pregnant!!!" I shouted jumping up and down as Genevieve'sexpression changed from nervousness to happiness I hugged her squealing congratulations, I'm sohappy my brother is gonna be a father an I will finally be an aunt.
"So when are you gonna tell micheal?" I ask
"I don't know" she say still smiling
"Maybe I'll tell him tonight when he gets back”
I beamed at her as she unconsciously rubs her flat tummy
"Well the sooner the better because you'll need to make a doctor's appointment plus I don't knowhow long I can hold in this happy news" I squealed.
Gen laughed at my antics even though she nodded in agreement. After finishing our tea I realized itwas getting late and I promised Jermaine I'd see him before I left so after some teasing fromGenevieve and me blushing like crazy I made my way to Jermaine's room.
Reaching his door I knock twice, after not receiving an answer I tried the knob to see if he wasactually there or not. With a single twist the door opened and I poked my head inside beforestepping in completely, what I see next knocks the air right out of my lungs I felt like someonesucker punched me. Jermaine was on his bed sucking face with some blond bimbo, I cleared mythroat making my presence known they both looked up at me Jermaine's eyes going wide assaucers when he saw me
"Rosalyn its---" he started but I quickly cut him off by saying
"There's no need to explain its not like we were dating anyway" my voice cold and void of anyemotions.
I turned around leaving the room and make my way downstairs fighting the unshed tears thatgathered in my eyes as Jermaine follows close behind calling out for me to let him explain, I can'tbelieve I trusted him if I wasn't so exhausted I'd kick both their asses. As I reach for the front doorthe last voice I wanna hear makes its way to my ears
"What the hell are you doing here bitch" the asshole who caused my son to be in a coma says
I refuse to call him by his name, before I could react Jermaine walks up to me
"Rosalyn baby please don't go let me explain its not what it looks like"
Ha, famous words of a cheater
"What does it looks like then huh Jermaine because to me it seems like you were sucking face withsome blond bimbo who probably has herpes and she sure as hell wasn't checking yourtemperature” I yell
"It's not like that at all she---" he starts to explain but is once again cut off when his father says"Jermaine why the hell are you talking to this trash like she's someone important”
This man was really getting on my nerves and if I wasn't so pissed at his son I'd probably snap hisneck by now
"Dad just but out ok this has nothing to do with you" Jermaine says anger in his voice, seems likethere's trouble in paradise.
He turned back to me then said "Rosalyn I promise you I'd never betray you like that she was theone who kissed me" he says pleading me with his eyes to believe him but I don't.
I had almost forgotten the old man standing next to us until he spoke again
"Jermaine what the hell is going on here don't tell me your actually in a relationship with this sadexcuse of a woman" he yelled drawing the attention of the occupants of the house whichunfortunately included ke'shaun, Isabelle and their mother.
His last remark was the last straw so I turned to him with "I'd stay quiet if I were you old manbecause I am livid right now and I'll have no problem taking my anger out on you"
I knew my eyes were glowing because I could feel my wolf come to the surface
"Ha you can try if you want just know you'll never leave this territory alive" he shot back, at this ilunged at him only to be pulled back by muscular arms.
I looked behind me to see Jermaine wrapping me in his arms my wolf calmed down some but I wasstill flaring.
"Rosy, baby listen to me ok just block everyone out they aren't important right now especially him"he says motioning to his father
I turned away from him because i couldn't bare to look at the face of the man who betrayed mytrust.
"Look at me Rosalyn please” he pleaded,
Trying to pry his arms from around my waist I say "why should I so you can look me in the eyes andlie to me" his grip loosens for a second and I took that as my opportunity to rip his arms fromaround me.
I rushed to the door swinging it open to leave but the ringtone of my phone halted my steps
Hello I answered
"Is this miss Rosalyn Parker?" A female voice asks
"Yes I am is there a problem”
"You need to come down to the hospital right away ma'am it's regarding your son" she replies
I'm about to ask what's wrong with my baby when the line goes dead. I look at the phone to see mybatteries have died
"Fuck!!" I cursed running out the door to my car
"Rosalyn wait" Jermaine yells
"I don't have the time to argue with you right now Jermaine something's wrong with my baby boy" Isay as I drove off down the dirt road leading to the gate.
The assholes at the gate see me coming and takes their sweet time opening the gate so I slam thecar into it sending them flying into the hedges. I'm a bit shook up myself but I don't care about thatnow something's wrong with my son and I need to get to the hospital.
All sorts of scenarios run through my head as i think of what could be wrong. Sending a silentprayer to the moon goddess I speed towards the hospital.
