Rejected Mate's Redemption (Freda and James) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75
KAIDEN STIRLING
I stared at Freda with wide eyes filled with regret and resignation. She had slapped me and it hurt but I knew I deserved it. The sting of the action lingered. It felt like that would be an everlasting pain.
‘Deserved, punk!’ Kai was grumpy as he mulled over the fact that his mate was mad at us.
My lips parted but not a word came out seeing how angry she was. She was heaving as she tried to get herself together. Even without looking toward them, I could feel Lyra grinning with mischief and Cisco staring, gob-smacked.
The effect of his mother. She’s full of surprises. And perfect.
Kai chuckled with mock sweetness as he noted my thoughts. Even without saying anything, I knew what he meant. I threw away all this perfection because I was f**g infatuated with someone who would never match up.
I was so s***d.
Freda looked away from me and took a deep breath, lips parting like she had some to say but before she could, the door burst open and Safiya walked in looking like an angry bull. My mood dampened instantly and I frowned. Why on earth was she always on my tail?

accused, “How dare you slap my husband and the Alpha of this pack?!” Her shrill voice echoed across the room. I f**g loathed that voice, it gave me a headache.
“Shut up Safiya. You have no right to come between mates who are having a conversation. You should’ve known that if you had an actual mate and didn’t claim others as yours, Freda spat with equal venom seeping from her words and I saw Safiya becoming red as hot iron as she brewed in anger.
However, my attention zeroed on Freda. She looked furious as she stared at Safiya. She had said that to spite her and it worked quite well for both of us. It hurt me because I was the one who had chosen Safiya despite having a mate and Safiya had to dedicate herself to me.
“What did you just say?” Safiya yelled, enraged, she took a step forward and the next minute, her hand was swinging to hit
Freda, “How dare you?”
Instinctively, at an insanely fast move, I caught her hand in midair. The room c**d with tension at the action. Freda had flinched when she noticed Safiya’s advances but now, she was staring at us with a hint of anger beneath the shock in her eyes.
My grip on Safiya’s hand tightened as anger coursed through me like a swaggering wave. What was she about to do, hit my mate? The guts of this woman! She had been doing a lot lately and I was sick and **g exhausted of her troubles.
She turned to me with shock evident in her eyes as she struggled to break free of my unyielding hold. The more she struggled, the more fny hold on her arm tightened. My fingers had begun digging into her skin already but I was too angry to get a hold of myself.

I was too angry to think of anything other than the image of her almost hitting my mate.
“K.. Kaiden…” Tears stung her eyes, “You’re hurting me” She managed to say, her voice low, filled with pain.
I released my grip and tossed her hand harshly, causing her to stumble backward, Harper’s bed right there for support. She p**s me off and makes me rash things to her. I know she’s carrying my child but for heaven’s sake!
“You better stop interfering when I’m speaking with Freda, Safiya. Next time, I won’t be this lenient” I warned and she shuddered under my dark gaze.
Her lips quivered and she turned to Freda who stood, unimpressed by the whole thing.
“What do you mean, I shouldn’t interfere when this woman keeps crossing all the lines with you. She’s doing everything in her will to take you away from Harper and me, can’t you see that?” She yelled and Freda’s eyes flashed.
I sighed, ruffling my hair in exasperation. The only way to keep my hands to myself and not use them on her. My patience with her had been long overdue, something she was oblivious to.
“I’ve said it time and again, Luna” The sarcasm in Freda’s words was not missed, “I don’t want to be on you or your husband’s radar. If he’s always after me then it’s not my fault. You should probably direct all this energy to him and keep my name out of your mouth!” She spat, breathing heavily
“Kaiden, can you ** see that attitude?” She eyed Freda, “If you’re that self-righteous then what are you doing here in my

daughter’s ward and why were you so keen on getting your hands on my husband?” Her hands waved dramatically as she spoke, “What else to prove the fact that you’re a cheap-”
“You know better than letting that statement slip out of your mouth Safiya. Complete it and I’ll f***g skin you alive” Freda’s wolf was raging, the color of her eyes had darkened and there was a flicker between her normal shades and gold. She was furious and my wolf was getting agitated.
Lyra and Francisco were now on their feet, watching the scene unfold with keen eyes. I could feel Lyra’s wolf surfacing as well. Both women were ready to gang on Safiya and the fool was not ready to back down.
“You wouldn’t dare, b**h!” Safiya challenged and my wolf took over my system in a whiff. This was the height of her insults to his mate.
In a swift motion, she was pulled from the bed and tossed aside. She s**d and it took every bit of composure in her not to lose her footing.
“Shut the hell up, Safiya!” My voice was a growl with a dominating rage that forced everyone in the room to
submission. Even Freda, though her wolf was not having it.
Safiya made to speak but stopped when Harper’s tiny, almost inaudible voice spoke.
“Mommy” All eyes fell on her in a second and for the first time in days, I felt myself relax.
