Rejected By Him Claimed By His Uncle (Rita and Leo)

Chapter 73 JANICE'S POV

It was hard for me to even understand what my relationship with Darius was. Most times, I wished he could treat me the way the Alpha treated my friend. Alpha

Leo

was all in with Rita. Beta Darius on the other hand was barely halfway in.

For some time, I thought he was cheating on me, but it turned out that he was not. I should be happy, but I doubt if that will ever be the case, because Darius was afraid of commitment. Darius loved me alright, but he was the Rita in our relationship. The difference was that he was doing it on purpose while Rita only did so with Alpha Leo because Sebastian had traumatized her. Darius on the other handj just t did not want a pup for himself. He would not tell me why though. I, on the other hand, wanted pups. Tons of them and that is why he has not marked me yet. I could not move on from him, so I was stuck. He tried letting me go a few times and I tried moving away too, but every single time, we always ended up running to each other. "Why can't that happen?" Rita asked again.

I looked down at my fingers. "He does not want pups. He never wanted a mate in the first place and sometimes, that makes me feel like I'm disrupting his perfect life.

Rita looked confused. "Well, that does not sound like Darius. He seems like the type that will make a good father."

I know, right I scoffed. "Sadly, that

just how things really are. And, you know I love kids, so I am not willing to compromise that. If I ever get a mate, I'm making kids with him and that's final. Darius can't make me do otherwise."

It was Rita's turn to comfort me and she started caressing my hair. "I hope he will open up to you more. Something must be wrong somewhere."

That's the thing. If something is wrong, why don't you open up. Why are you keeping everything to yourself? We are supposed to be a couple, so why is he hiding things from me."

I felt Rita's hand freeze on my head. I felt her body stiffened too is something wrong?" I asked. Was she hiding something

ton?

ton?

"I just feel you should try to understand Darius a little. She swallowed. "The truth can be bitter sometimes. He might be finding it difficult to tell you whatever is bothering him. Maybe he does not want you to get worried unnecessarily "But I'm worried now. Whatever he is doing is making me feel bad. I'm hurting and it will feel less hurtful if he simply told me the truth. I'll sympathize with him and we will both know that we have each other."

I sat up straight so I could study Rita's face and she looked away

"You're hiding something, aren't you. My eyes widened and I gasped. "Don't tell me you're hiding anything from your mate." She joined me and sat up straight too. "When I visited Aunt Freya, she told me that my womb was poisoned" I was confused. "How would Aunt Freya know that?"

Rita shrugged. "She knows a lot of things that most ordinary wolves do not know. She knew that my mother was poisoned

and it turned out to be true.

"Well, that does not mean she's t

this time around"

Rita's face fell. "I was hoping for that, but she was right. My womli is truly poisoned, I confirmed it from the pack's healer For a while now, I have been served food laced with matricide, Janice, I don't know when I will be able to give my mate pups. or if I will be able to do so throughout my lifetime"

I leaned closer and brought her closer so she could put her head on my shoulder. "And you think the best thing to do is to keep this from your mate. You know how much he supports you We both know that when he finds out about this, he'll do anything for you to be able to give him a pup. You're his Luna and he needs an heir."

"That's it. He needs an heir. Of all wolves, he is the one who needs a pup the most and I won't be able to give him one now

barren."

'You're not barren. His staff poisoned you and your womb will be healed." I cupped her face. It was covered in tears now. "Read my lips. You will carry your own pups anytime from now

She hugged me and I hugged her back. Then, I pulled away so I could look at her face. "You have to tell your mate everything."

"I want to. Infact, I need to. I have a higher chance of knowing who is behind this poisoning if I do and perhaps, Ivy accomplice. Because, to know these things, I have to visit the human world and it'll be easier to do so, if he knows." "So, tell him already"

"I can't. It is hard

It is hard to do so. He might feel he has been unable to protect me. Secondly, I thought I had gotten rid of my insecure thoughts, but I haven't. The thought of Alpha Leo leaving me for a fertile she-wolf comes to mind whenever I

decide to tell him."

Ibrought her closer to me and began to pat her head.

It made me wonder if Darius was facing something similar. If that was the case, he should just talk to me. I wanted to share in both his struggles and his wins.

You and the Alpha are a couple. You're to share every single thing with each other. You should tell him everything."

IVY'S POV

"Son of a a gun. Why on earth did you let her stop the transfer of power?"

didn't you stop her yourself? Sebastian spat with a look of disdain on his face.

My nose flared. Who on earth did he think he was? I raised my head. I had to bear him now. I had plans and the last thing I will do is to let him ruin them. After all, my plan was simple. Make him Alpha, become his Luna, give him an heir and then kill him afterwards, Even if my pup is barely one, he will still be Alpha and as his guardian, I will basically be the one ruling. "Let's just focus on making you Alpha. I'm not in the mood to exchange words with you. We have to look for a way forward." "What do you think I should do?" He asked.

"Your father must be p***d at what his brother and his mate are doing."

"Well, that is settled. He will do most of our work for us.

Ismirked. "It's good to see that my intelligence is finally rubbing off on you."

He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "What do you want him to do?"
