Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha

Chapter 139

“No, if you want to make it up to me, then you just have to marry me,” she said, her voice filled with dreamy longing. “I promised myself that the man who took my virginity would be the one I marry. I want to wear a beautiful white wedding gown, just like Sarah did, and walk down the aisle.”

Levi made a m ental note to ask his father about this later. He was curious about the name Sarah and how it related to the situation.

“Yes, I will marry you,” he replied seriously, causing Kimberly to smile.

Her heart warmed at the thought of him wanting to marry her, treating her with respect instead of how she had seen other girls being treated in movies.

She knew that even some of Sarah’s friends had complained about guys deceiving them and taking advantage of their virginity.

A smile stretched across her lips as she realized that this handsome man truly wanted to marry her. However, her simile soon. faded as she felt discomfort.

“Sarah is my brother’s wife,” she explained, her voice tinged with discomfort. “I feel sore and sticky. Is there a bathroom?” she asked, hoping for some relief. Levi smiled and pointed towards the glass door.

“There,” he said, indicating the bathroom.

He couldn’t help but stare at her admiringly, grateful for the joy she brought into his life.

Whatever this human wedding entailed, he was determined to make it happen if it would make Kimberly happy.

Since Sarah was married to Kimberly’s brother, it would be easy for Levi’s parents to inquire about the wedding and Levi would make preparations accordingly.

Upon entering the room, Levi quickly tidied up the bed and changed the sheets. By the time he finished, Kimberly had. finished her shower and he proceeded to hand wash all the blood stains, as there was no washing machine available.

Levi felt grateful towards his grandmother for teaching him and Philip about household responsibilities during their childhood, as it proved to be very helpful in this situation.

After cleaning up, Levi emerged from the room and was greeted by a delightful aroma. He noticed Kimberly’s back turned towards him, busy in the open kitchen.

The sight was captivating, causing a wave of sensual thoughts to rush through Levi’s body.

Wearing only his boxer shorts, he approached her.

Strangely enough, despite Levi’s typically graceful movements, Kimberly sensed his presence and turned around to face him.

“It’s you, Levi.”

“Do you know me?” Levi asked with curiosity, observing her impressive cooking skills. “You cook very well, he complimented.

“Yes, I know you. My brother taught me how to cook, but I’m hungry.”

“It seems like the food is almost ready. Is it for two?” Levi asked cautiously, not assuming that she had cooked for him without asking.

It’s for two. I don’t eat much,” Kimberly smiled shyly as she glanced at his bare chest once again before turning around.

Levi couldn’t resist the urge to have his hands on her, so without warning, he hugged her from behind and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Kimberly was overwhelmed by the rush of emotions caused by his closeness when suddenly, a strange voice began echoing in her mind/

‘Our mate is attractive. Our mate is strong. Our mate loves us.’

Kimberly couldn’t comprehend the word ‘mate’ and why this voice was disturbing her once again.

The first time she heard the voice, she had introduced herself as Kim, her wolf, and before she knew it, she had lost herself and ended up in an unfamiliar place.

“No, stay away from me,” Kimberly spoke aloud. Levi was taken aback and pulled away, asking,

“Are you okay?”

Kimberly hated that he had distanced himself from her, but before she could respond, the annoying voice took control of he mind once more.

‘You’re making him worried. Why are you acting so strange?”

Kimberly felt peculiar. She looked at Levi and asked timidly, “Am I weird?”

Levi pursed his lips. She was indeed peculiar, but he didn’t know how to express it without offending her.

He abruptly pulled her into his arms and turned off the gas stove. Kimberly realized that the food would have burned if he hadn’t intervened.

She turned around after he pulled away and began to serve the scrambled eggs, retrieving the bread from the toaster.

‘Our mate is concerned. You need to talk to him, the voice repeated, causing Kimberly to feel frightened and start scanning her surroundings.

“Are you okay?” Levi asked, his expression filled with worry as he took the plate from her.

“Do you hear voices?” Kimberly asked, aware that her question sounded strange. Levi glanced around and shook his head.

“No, what did the voice say?” he inquired.

Kimberly hesitated, unsure if she should share, fearing that he would think she was strange.

However, seeing the concern in his eyes, she mustered up the courage to speak shyly.

“She says flirtatious things like, ‘our mate is attractive’ and ‘our mate is strong. When I regained consciousness earlier, she mentioned that we should engage in intimate activities with our mate because he is an Alpha.”

Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she added,

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what ‘mate’ and ‘Alpha’ mean. She just says peculiar things in my head.”

Levi smiled, understanding the situation and feeling relieved that his mate found him appealing. He also believed that her wolf was the source of her newfound boldness in the bathroom.

The only issue was that she had no sense of her own identity, so he had to explain it to her.

He pulled Kimberly into his embrace, and she nestled closer, burying her face in his bare chest.

She found his scent peculiar, yet it was also soothing and addictive. She felt a desire to remain in his arms indefinitely.

When Levi pulled away, she felt a pang of disappointment, but he pressed his lips against her forehead. After pulling back, he said to her,

“I will explain everything while we eat.”

Kimber nodded eagerly, yearning to comprehend and unravel the mystery. She began arranging the items on a tray, and they made their way to the bed.

Sitting facing each other, they settled the tray between them. Levi instructed, “Eat before I divulge.”

Kimberly agreed, and they commenced their meal in silence, sipping coffee alongside.

When they were halfway through, Levi inquired,

“How did you end up here?”

This question had been plaguing his mind incessantly, and he was anxious to uncover the truth.”

To his surprise, she countered with, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You must first promise that you won’t abandon me again.”

Levi tensed once more. Leave her? Not even death could separate them, for if she perished, he would too.

Levi was overjoyed that in addition to their bond, he felt a strong attraction towards his mate.

Due to her lack of understanding of their world, he held back many things, and would gradually introduce her to it.

As their blue eyes locked, he spoke solemnly to her. The captivating glow in her eyes made Levi possessive, not wanting anyone

else to come near her. The mere thought of other men looking at her was unbearable.

“I can never abandon you, so who left you?” he asked, his voice as gentle as a feather.

Kimberly smiled, finding his words sincere, and her heart fluttered at the sound of his voice.

However, she couldn’t help but feel shy and quickly lowered her head.

Apart from his name, she knew nothing about this man. Yet, she felt at ease in his presence and didn’t want him to leave her side.

She also admitted that he was more handsome than any man she had ever seen, even surpassing her brother, whom she had always considered the most handsome man she had ever met.

“I’m sorry. I suppose it was all just a dream,” she confessed.

“A dream?”

Levi’s curiosity was piqued as he had never experienced dreams before.

Instead, he was constantly bombarded with visions and premonitions, making it all the more surprising that he hadn’t had any lately.

Perhaps the mood goddess had decided to grant him a respite from his stressful life in order to connect with his mate.

Kimberly, finishing her cup of coffee to prevent it from getting cold, remarked,

“I’m not sure where you got this coffee, but it tastes different from what I’m accustomed to.”

Anticipating that he might find her actions peculiar, she felt compelled to explain why she had emptied her cup.

Levi smiled and replied,

“We grow our own coffee here. I’ll give you a tour of the pack later, maybe tomorrow or the day after, once I’ve gotten to know you better.”

His words only served to confuse Kimberly further, prompting her to ask, “Pack?”

Levi smiled softly and whispered,

“I’ve already mentioned that there’s a lot you need to know about me, but I’ll only reveal it after you answer my previous question.”

Kimberly sensed that this man was far from ordinary.

There was an undeniable aura surrounding him that made it impossible for her to resist him, and/she couldn’t even keep anything hidden from him.

“Yes,” she admitted. “Ever since I turned eighteen six months ago, I’ve been seeing you in my dreams. However, upon waking up, I can never recall everything you say to me.”

Levi smiled, realizing that while he struggled and wandered around like a zombie, his mate was also facing difficulties.

Kimberly, too, was constantly troubled by their lack of meeting. She went on to explain,

“Sometimes, we would be so close, as if we were about to kiss, but I would wake up before our lips touched, and I would be aroused,” she lowered her head in embarrassment as she recalled the

memories.

Levi’s heart warmed. No wonder she would have suffered if they hadn’t mated. She desired him as well, and he was relieved that he didn’t have to feel guilty about making love to her while she was unconscious.

“Did you ever confide in anyone?” he asked, and Kimberly vigorously shook her head.

“No, I was too ashamed.”

Levi gently held her hand, and she felt a strange but comforting attraction towards him, which once again aroused her. However, she was relieved that he didn’t notice.

This man was peculiar, but he had already captured her heart. She was grateful that he agreed to marry her.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. So, how did you end up here? I’ve been searching for you for a very long time,” Levi said softly. Kimberly pulled her hand away, covering her mouth in shock.

“Looking for me? You don’t even know who I am,” she exclaimed in disbelief.

However, Levi merely grinned, aware that she would be even more astonished if he revealed the intricacies of their world to her.

“If you disclose how you ended up here, I can unravel all the enigmas for you,” he proposed.

Kimberly eagerly nodded and commenced her narrative,

“It all began when my brother brought me along to meet his attorney. There, I encountered a man and a woman…”
