Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 0108 

Cara’s POV 

+25 BONUS 

I suddenly feel overwhelmingly tired of all the charades, of all the attempts to keep Ethan a secret from Alaric. I can keep this up no longer I can hide my child no longer. 

If Alaric hadn’t known for certain about my two children by now, after the science competition, then he surely would know about Ethan after this interaction. 

There is no stopping it. 

I won’t tell him about the children’s parentage, but I cannot deny their existence any longer. After all, here the boy is right in front of Alaric. 

“Yes,” I say simply and confidently. I grab my son’s little hand and look Alaric squarely in the eyes. “This is 1 son, Mia’s older brother. Is there a problem with that?” 

When Alaric doesn’t respond immediately, I tum on my heel, pulling Ethan with me. 

I don’t bother to look back at the man left standing in the hallway, at the Alpha King behind 

1. me. 

Behind me is only the past. Nothing more. 

But I’m done with that now. I’m moving on. 

I have moved on. 

For myself and my children, I’m looking only towards the future. 

And I see them there, just in front of me in the hospital lobby. My brothers Aidan and are there, waiting with my daughter Mia. They’re all waiting for Ethan and me, and I realize how far I have come since I left Pack DarkWood. 

Ryan 

I have a family now. I have a new life now. I have joy and warmth and contentment and happiness and all the good things that life has to offer. 

I walk quickly towards my family, almost running to them. I’m moving towards my present, towards my future. 

And I don’t look back.

John’s POV 

After I finish handing off that mean old elderly nurse to one of my assistants, I return back to my Alpha King. I find him in the hallway of the hospital, right where I left him. It seems he hasn’t moved. 

I arrive just in time to watch as Cara leaves, walking away from the Alpha King with the little black–haired boy in tow. I realize it’s the same boy from the science competition. He was the champion of the event, as I recall. 

When Cara turns her back on him, I see Alaric reach his arm out, like he’s going to stop her. I know he can’t help himself. It looks like a reflex, like an unconscious movement brought about by whatever connection Alaric and Cara so obviously seem to share. 

Not that it’s obvious to Alaric. 

But Alaric pauses, and he doesn’t stop her. 

I notice where Alaric’s eyes see what’s beyond her. It’s her family, some of the Auburn brothers are here to greet her. 

The family embraces one another, hugging and smiling and laughing. It’s the perfect picture of familial joy and warmth. 

And Alaric is so obviously left on the outside, watching from far away. 

He holds his hand in the air, like he’s been transfixed by some spell, frozen in time. Frozen 

in the past, it seems. 

He quietly drops his hand and watches the scene of the happy family. 

I’ve always respected my Alpha King. He’s a strong and thoughtful leader. His father trained him well for the Alpha King position. 

Before he promoted me to Beta, I was Alaric’s butler. I’ve known him for years. 

I was the one to break the news to him about Cara’s accident. I was there to witness the 

almost–wedding to Lilia. 

And I saw how in the years since, Alaric has slowly withered, never coming close to anything I would call happiness. 

But I’m lucky to be counted amongst the few people whom Alaric can trust. He told me as much when he shocked all the nobles and high–borns by promoting me, a humble butler, 

to the title of Beta. 

I’ve done my best each day to earn the title, to live up to Cara Wilson’s example. 

In truth, she is a very hard act to follow. I read all of her notes, taken while she was the Beta of Pack DarkWood. She’s incredibly smart, wise beyond her years. Her ideas are vitally 

useful to me even now. 

I couldn’t understand at first how she was able to accomplish so much in her days. Even now with my own six years of experience as Beta, I know that there are tasks Cara could still do twice as fast as I can.

Her legacy will remain for years. 

That’s why Alaric and I get so upset when pack members ignore the good works Cara has done over the years. She has contributed more to Pack DarkWood than many others could do in a lifetime. 

But she has a new pack now. She will go on to do great things elsewhere. 

She has moved on and, seemingly, has found peace. 

I just wish the same for Alaric. I wish my Alpha King could find his own peace, happiness. It pains me to see him so caught up in the past.

“Sir?” I ask quietly as I approach the Alpha King, not wanting to startle him. 

Though the Auburn family has already left the hospital lobby, Alaric’s eyes are still fixed on the spot where they stood embracing one another. It’s like he’s watching the scene of the happy family over and over again in his mind. 

I speak again, trying to break his trance, “What would you like to do, Alpha King, sir? About the Bedfords, I mean?” 

Alaric blinks, finally realizing where he is. 

“The Bedfords…” he says to himself, voice almost a whisper. Finally, Alaric clears his throat and blinks several times, like he’s rising from a fog. 

Alaric looks at me, “Monitor their meetings for now. I want to know who they’re talking to and what about. If they are starting any new rumors, I want to hear about it, understood?” “Yes, sir. Understood, sir.” I tell him respectfully.
