Rejected by My Alpha Now He Replaced Me with a Copycat Luna novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Dexter’s POV

I stared down at the tray as if it were a calculus problem. Studying each item, I tried to discern if I was missing anything. I’d spent the morning googling foods that were easy on the stomach since Edith had said keeping it light after Raven woke was important.

Scrambled eggs. White toast. Applesauce. Oatmeal with cinnamon sugar. Roasted sweet potatoes. Marian tea.

I crossed to the sink where I’d put a tiny vase of daisies. Who the hell was I? Daisies? I didn’t do this sort of thing. Not since Anya had fucked me in every way but the good kind. But Raven was…different.

There was no panic when I thought about letting her in. Only certainty that she was meant to be mine, and I, hers. Adjusting the yellow flowers

in the vase, I turned back to the island and nearly collided with Kael as he stormed into the kitchen.

“What the-?” My words cut off as I saw the stormy look in his eyes. “What’s wrong? Is it Raven? Is she okay?”

Panic of a different sort grabbed me, not letting go. It wasn’t fear of letting a woman in; it was terror that something could happen to her now

that I had.

“She’s okay.” Kael swallowed hard. “Nox’s with her. He’s getting her to drink something.”

I needed to get the food in there then. But as his Beta, when I really looked at Kael, I knew my Alpha-my brother- needed me first.

“Talk to me,” I said softly.

Pain like I’d never seen before swept across Kael’s face. “She’ll never forgive me.”

Fuck.

I set the vase on the tray and turned to Kael. “It’s just going to take time.”

“I’ve only messed up this badly once before.”

I knew the time he meant. When he didn’t get his sister back before she was plunged into hell itself.

“Kael.”

He shook his head violently. “She’ll never see me the same.”

“Maybe not, but that doesn’t mean she won’t see you as something better. Something more real. None of us is perfect. I’m sure as hell not. But

you can’t wallow. You have to prove to her that you’re here. That you’re sorry, And that you know who she really is.”

Because Raven was nothing like her father, Michael Clyne was a cruel and heartless bastard. Raven had none of that in her.

Kael stared at me for a long moment, not even blinking. “Okay,”

I clapped a hand on his shoulder, “Good, Now, get with Ash on those new perimeter checks. Make our girl safe.”

Gods, that felt good. Right, Our girl. Just like she’d always been meant to be.

Kael jerked his head in a nod. “Take care of her.”

“You know I will.” Just like I knew what it cost Kael to walk away right now. Even if it was the best thing for all of us.

Chapter 91

As Kael headed for the garage, I grabbed the tray and moved toward Raven’s room. She really deserved something more than the simple guest room we had her in now. There was space on the third floor we could easily turn into a suite for her. If Ezra ever returned from his mission of death and destruction, I’d get him on that. It would be good for one of the psycho twins to have a healthier outlet.

Walking down the hall, I heard voices beginning to rise. I picked up my pace and opened the door to Raven trying to get out of bed as Nox attempted to convince her to get back in it.

“You need to rest,” he pleaded.

“I need to take a shower,” Raven argued, grimacing.

“What’s going on?” I crossed to the bed, sliding the tray onto the mattress.

Raven’s jaw clenched. “I want to get clean.”

The tension in her words had my wolf on edge. “All right. We can do that. But why don’t you eat a little first? It’ll make you steadier.”

“I already drank the smoothie juice thing. I’m good,” Raven bit out. Something was wrong, and by the look on Nox’s face, he knew it, too.

I moved into Raven’s space, slid my hand along her jaw, and tipped her head back. “Talk to me, luv.”
