Rejected Mate's Redemption (Freda and James) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 

FREDA WHITLOCK 

I ended the call after that bizarre statement Kaiden made. “Safiya was going to apologize? Why did I find it unlikely?” Something was definitely going on. 

Safiya wasn’t one to apologize. She never apologized. I wondered what happened to her now. 

I laid back in my bed as I pulled the duvet to my shoulders and stared blankly at the ceiling. ‘How did I find myself in this mess?‘ 

If only Kaiden had accepted me as his mate, if only Safiya wasn’t in the picture, maybe I could have had my own happy ending, but the goddess had other plans. 

‘Was everything going to turn out alright?‘ ‘Even if Safiya apologized, was it going to solve everything? Will my Cisco never know his father? How long was I going to keep on staying here?‘ 

‘Could I keep on staying here and bear the pain of seeing my mate with someone else?‘ Even though I acted like I didn’t care, it still hurt me. I could still feel pain. 

I had become a laughing stock. People thought I didn’t hear them gossip when I passed by. ‘The rejected mate‘ they called. 

1. me. 

So even if Safiya’s apology didn’t solve everything it would at 

least appease my hurt pride. I wanted her to feel the shame and anger I felt I was forced to my knees in front of the council, 

I just hoped Kaiden kept his promise because he never kept his promises, Just then, the door to my room creaked open and Lyra walked in. I was surprised as I quickly adjusted myself to at sitting position. “Lyra” I called out softly. 

“Hey, umm I noticed the lights in your room were still on so I wanted to check if everything was okay“, She stated sheepishly and I was dumbfounded. 

Lyra had come to check on me?. The same Lyra who had. withdrawn to herself for the past few days, took the initiative to come to ask me if I was okay? Thank you goddess. Even Gial purred in delight. She had missed Lyra. Everyone had.. 

I wasted no time as I quickly patted the bed for her to join me. which she did happily. “So what’s wrong?“she asked as she made herself comfortable on the bed and I sighed. 

“It’s Kaiden, he called me a few minutes ago“. “Kaiden called. you?“, she asked in disbelief and shook my head in affirmation. 

“I didn’t know he was the one otherwise I wouldn’t have picked. the call” I stated. “So what did he pay?” She asked curiously. 

“He said Safiya was going to apologize to me in front of everyone at the pack council tomorrow and I should be there” I stated. 

“Wow, for real. I’m so happy for Freda. Finally, Safiya would be kept in her place. I am going to follow you tomorrow to witness. the drama“. She gushed excitedly and I sighed. “I just hope he really does what he says, because you know how Kalden is.

What if he doesn’t keep his promise this time?“. 

“He better keep his promise if he still cherishes his balls” Lyra growled and I laughed. I missed this side of Lyra 

“Okay I’ll leave you now, it’s quite late” she stated as she came down from the bed and walked towards the door. 

“Lyra” I called out before she could open the door and she turned to me with a bright smile. “Thank you for checking up on me. I missed this. Thank you Lyra“. I said with a voice filled with so much emotion.. 

“Anytime Freda you’d do the same thing for me* she stated. ‘But then why can’t you tell me what’s been bothering you?‘ These words were at the tip of my tongue just waiting for me to utter them but I just shook my head. 

“Good night Lyra” I said instead and she nodded and walked out. Baby steps Freda, baby steps. We would take this one day at a time. It was already a great thing Lyra took the initiative to seek me out tonight. 

Everything would be alright I thought as I settled back in bed and turned out the lights. Each day for it’s own troubles. I closed my eyes and dozed off. 

The next morning. I woke up a bit groggy from sleep and checked the time. I let out a loud yawn as my eyes landed on the clock on the nightstand. 

‘Oh my days‘! I had woken up a bit late today and I had to prepare Cisco for school. I jumped off the bed and headed for the bathroom to wash myself up quickly.

I ran downstairs only to find Cisco already ready and dressed. I was surprised. “I noticed you slept in today so I decided to get Cisco ready“. Lyra muttered sheepishly as she tucked her hair. behind her ear. 

“Oh thank you so much Lyra I couldn’t have managed it without. you. Cisco did you say, thank you to your aunty Lyra for getting. you ready on time?“. I asked and he shook his head as he turned. to face Lyra. 

“Thank you aunty Lyra” he cooed adorably and she smiled and. rubbed his hair affectionately. I quickly went to the kitchen and whipped up a quick breakfast and also packed Cisco’s lunch. and rushed to my room to get ready.
