The Alpha's Rejected Heir
Chapter Eighteen

Rosalyn's POV

I saw Alessandro punch Jermaine in the nose as I was walking through the hospital doors I then heard him say

"That's for cheating on my mom you bastard" before walking off

I swear that boy will be the death of me this is exactly why I didn't want to tell him what happened but I can't say I'm not happy he did it if he didn't i would have.

Driving away from the hospital I head towards the hotel i plan on ordering room service tonight I'm too tired to stop anywhere else it's been a long day and I need a shower. I'm still so happy my boy woke up sometimes I would loose hope but right now I'm the happiest mother alive.

Driving into the hotel's parking lot I turn off the car and Alessandro and I stepped out I lock the car and walk towards the garage elevator, pressing the number of our floor the door closes and were off. Moments later where in the hall way of our floor and I lead Alessandro to our room, stepping inside I show him the door to his room so he could get settled in.

I head to the bathroom feeling exhausted and my joints ache from all the ups and downs I've been through for the last week. Filling the bathtub with water I add some relaxing oils then strip down and step into the bath. I can feel my tense muscle relax the more warm water reaches up my body. After I'm completely submerged I lay my head back and close my eyes thinking of the week I've had then my mind wonders to Jermaine, why would he do that to me I just can't understand or believe it but I saw it with my own eyes probably if someone had told me I wouldn't have listened but I know what I saw and now I've lost the guy I've had my heart set on since junior high.

I'm relaxing in the bathtub until I heard my phone ring I groaned because I don't wanna get out, standing up to go put on a robe I hear Alessandro say

"I got it mom it's aunt gen”

I sigh in relief that I don't have to leave my relaxing bath however that feeling vanished as quick as it came when he said

"mom aunt gen invited us to this café in town she says your not allowed to say no since we haven't had any real fun since we got here and I agree with her"

I know I would be fighting a loosing battle if I said no so I told Alessandro to go get ready while I finish up my bath he has his own bathroom so we don't have to share.

Honestly I just wanted to stay home and relax maybe watch some movies or something but I haven't been out in a while so that doesn't sound totally horrible either so I quickly finish up my bath and started getting ready. I wrapped a towel around me then walk into my room grabbing my brush and comb i get started on my hair, placing it in a neat bun I go to the closet for an outfit. After getting ready I knock on Alessandro's door

"Alessandro you ready yet" I called out

"In a second mom" he reply then a minute later he walks into my room wearing black jeans a white t-shirts with a Jean jacket and some white sneakers

"Aunt gen texted me the address for the café so let's head out before she thinks we're not coming. I nod and we leave the room and head towards the lobby.

Alessandro puts in the address in the GPS and we set off for this café. I take in my surroundings as I drive Cali is really a beautiful place I've never really had the chance to appreciate its beauty from the weather to the people everything is just so vibrant.

"Turn left to reach your destination" the GPS brings me from my thoughts as I turn into the compound that houses a beautiful café I hear horrible singing coming from inside it must be karaoke night, hopping out I lock the car and Alessandro and I head inside.

Inside the café is even more beautiful than the outside with creme coloured walls and red carpets on the floor. I look around trying to find Genevieve but she saw me first

"Rosalyn over here" she yells Alessandro and I walk towards the table they're seated at I see micheal and Isabelle as well, I breathe a sigh of relief when I didn't see Jermaine Genevieve had texted earlier telling me about a conversation she over heard between Jermaine and ke'shaun apparently their father threatened to banish Jermaine if he and I are together so it's probably a good thing that we aren't I don't wanna be the reason putting a wedge between him and his family.

Hey" Alessandro and I say at the same time

"Hey guys" they replied.

We order some drink then Isabelle piped up "who's up for some karaoke"

"great idea izzy"Genevieve squealed

"let's go sign up” she says dragging poor Alessandro along with them.

I'm too tired so I'll just listen besides I'm not one to sing in front of crowds I'd probably have a panic attack. They came back few minutes later smiles plastered on their faces I laugh at them as they sit around the table, a girl is currently on the stage singing a song I've never heard before and izzy is up next.

We're talking and laughing enjoying our drinks when the MC announced Izzy's name i have no idea which song she's gonna sing so I give my full attention to the stage as she makes her way up "good evening everyone" she says into the mic music starts playing and I recognize the song immediately

Remember those walls I built

Well, baby, they're tumbling down

And they didn't even put up a fight

They didn't even make a sound

I found a way to let you win

But I never really had a doubt

Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you break it

It's the risk that I'm taking

I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby, I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

Hit me like a ray of sun

Burning through my darkest night

You're the only one that I want

Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again

But this don't even feel like falling

Gravity can't forget

To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you break it

The risk that I'm taking

I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby, I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby, I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

I can feel your halo (halo) halo

I can see your halo (halo) halo

When she's finished singing the whole café erupts in roars of applause and whistles. She takes a tiny bow then makes our way over to us

"wow Isabelle i had no idea you could sing like that" I say surprised, she's really talented

"thank you Rosalyn I don't normally sing around people it was my friends who kinda brought out of that shell by forcing me to sing here when this place just opened"she replied

"Next up is alle-- ale--"

"Alessandro" Isabelle shouted to the MC who was having trouble pronouncing Alessandro’s name. We all cheered him on as he walks to the stage if I know my son then I already have an idea of the song he's gonna sing it's his favorite song for quite some time now he always listens to it when he's down I guess it's just his way of telling himself that no matter what everything will turn out alright. "Good evening Everyone my name is Alessandro and I'll be singing be alright by Dean Lewis. I smiled knowing my guess was right the music starts and he began, "Mom this goes out to you"

I look up from the ground

To see your sad and teary eyes

You look away from me

And I see there's something you're trying to hide

And I reach for your hand but it's cold

You pull away again

And I wonder what's on your mind

And then you say to me you made a dumb mistake

You start to tremble and your voice begins to break

You say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friend's

They were my mate's

And I feel the color draining from my face

And my friend said

"I know you love her, but it's over, mate

It doesn't matter, put the phone away

It's never easy to walk away, let her go

It'll be alright”

So I still look back at all the messages you'd sent

And I know it wasn't right, but it was messing with my head

And everything deleted like the past, it was gone

And when I touched your face, I could tell you're moving on

But it's not the fact that you kissed him yesterday

It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake

And everything I know tells me that I should walk away

But I just want to stay

And my friend said

"I know you love her, but it's over, mate

It doesn't matter, put the phone away

It's never easy to walk away, let her go

It'll be okay

It's gonna hurt for a bit of time

So bottoms up, let's forget tonight

You'll find another and you'll be just fine

Let her go”

But nothing heals the past like time

And they can't steal

The love you're born to find

But nothing heals the past like time

And they can't steal

The love you're born to find

"I know you love her, but it's over, mate

It doesn't matter, put the phone away

It's never easy to walk away, let her go

It'll be okay

It's gonna hurt for a bit of time

So bottoms up, let's forget tonight

You'll find another and you'll be just fine

Let her go"

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

"It'll be alright mom”

Tears gathered in my eyes by the time the song was finished he knew how I felt without me even saying anything and he dedicated his favorite song to remind me that everything will be ok, I look at everyone at our table to see them with tears in their eyes as well Alessandro walks back to the table I pulled him into a hug as soon as he was within arm's length

"thank you baby" I say appreciatively

"I love you mom" he replies

"I love you too mi bambino"

"Up next is Genevieve" announced the MC

We all cheered as she walks up to the stage confidently. We burst out laughing when micheal commented

"She walks to a stage so confidently to sing in front of strangers but she nearly has a panic attack telling her fiancé she's pregnant”

We knew Genevieve heard him when she turns around sending death glares his way earning another round of laughter from us.

"Good evening" says then signals the MC to start the music

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power, yeah

Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things

Define what's within

And I've been there before but that life's a bore

So full of the superficial

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If 1 ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If 1 ain't got you, yeah

Some people search for a fountain

That promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love him

Hand me the world on a silver platter

And what good would it be?

With no one to share

With no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If 1 ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If 1 ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you, baby

If 1 ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah

If 1 ain't got you with me, baby

Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If 1 ain't got you with me, baby

I glance over at micheal to see his face as red as a beetroot he's a blushing mess, we all know who that song was dedicated to seeing as Genevieve looked straight into his eyes while singing. I smile to myself glad that my brother is truly happy he deserves this and so much more they both do and I'm glad they found each other.

When Genevieve gets back to the table Micheal pulls her into a passionate kiss

"Eeww come on you guys we don't need to see that" Alessandro whines as we all laughed at his childish behavior

"Your acting like you've never seen people kiss before besides are you forgetting I walked in on you and Karen kissing once" I tease

"mooommm no need to tell the whole world it was embarrassing enough going through it besides I have seen people kiss but when family members do it it's just weird" he says

"Exactly!" Isabelle agrees as we laugh at them.

The MC announces someone else and our eyes go to the stage I zoned out a bit because the person took some time to reach the stage. I nearly feel from my chair when I saw Jermaine walks to the stage, what the heck is he doing here I look at Genevieve to see her and Isabelle have guilty looks on their faces

"You guys didn't" I say

"We're sorry Rosalyn but he really wanted to talk to you" izzy replied

"It's true and he didn't cheat Rosie that girl jumped him and stuck her claws in his shoulder when he tried to push her off" Genevieve says

I huffed turning back to the stage not bothering to reply seeing as I'm mad at them both. Jermaine pointed at me then said

"Rosalyn Parker this is for you" making everyone look towards our table

And I'd give up forever to touch you

“Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later it's over

I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

“Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me

“Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me

“Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me

“Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

Everyone starts clapping but he pays no attention to that as he walks right over to our table I'm so dumbstruck I didn't even realize when he reach in front of me.

He grabs my hand then says

"Rosalyn I'm so sorry I promise I would never cheat or intentionally hurt you in anyway I swear I didn't kiss that girl she was the one who attacked me but it's my fault I should have tried harder to push her away it's just that I didn't want to hurt her seeing as my mom always told me to never hurt a woman no matter who they are or what they did and that is exactly why I would never hurt you" he says.

"I believe you Jermaine I know you didn't kiss her Genevieve already told me the truth and she would never lie to me and honestly I'm glad you didn't break my trust but we still can't be together because I also know that if we are your dad will Banish you and I can't have that on my conscience” I say looking away from his pleading eyes I can't look at him because if I do my walls will crumble and I'll break down right here. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Did you not just here a word I just said Rosalyn I would give up anything and everything if it meant that I could be with you besides my father's treat holds no value to me that pack was never my home and the only reason stayed was because of mom and izzy he can keep me from the pack but he can't keep me from them" he replies

"He's right Rosalyn” Isabelle pipes in

"We want Jermaine to be happy and we want you to be happy and you make each other happy so go for it" she says.

I look in Alessandro's direction to see him beaming at us "Mom you spent all your life looking out for me making sure I had everything I ever needed now it's time to look after yourself and happy and if being happy is with Jermaine then I support you 100%" he says

I look back at Jermaine to see him waiting for my answer I knew they we're all right this man right here makes me happy so why the hell not live for myself for once. I nodded at him and smile he seems to have understood before I could even voice my answer because he slams his lips on to mine instantly making everyone around us cheer except for Alessandro and izzy who kept groaning and complaining about how old people shouldn't kiss in public.

We stuck around at the café until closing time at eleven before we all head out Jermaine and I planned a date for tomorrow and he walked me back to the car.

He smiled at me then said "you have no idea how happy I am to finally have you in my arms Rosalyn I've dreamt about this for years and now my dream has become a reality”

I looked in his eyes and i knew he spoke nothing but the truth, I pulled him closer kissing his soft lips much to Alessandro's dismay who kept on yelling stuff like eewww and barf city whatever that is. I laughed at him as Jermaine opened the door for me, I climbed into the car we said our goodbyes as we all drove away to our different homes.
