The Alpha's Rejected Heir
Chapter Twenty-Six

Jermaine POV I'm currently sitting in Rosalyn’s room watching her sleep, this is the only time I can actually be near her without her freaking out or flinching at every move I make. I can't believe this is what our lives had turned out to be, who would have ever thought rose and I would be together who would have taught we'd get kidnapped and tortured by our parents. These past months have been the longest bittersweet months of my entire existence. Bitter because of the whole being kidnapped and tortured thing but sweet because I finally got the girl of my dreams and I'd be damned if I let her go. Almost dying by the hands of Nora and watching Rosalyn get tortured was awful but what has me dying inside everyday is the fact that she was raped right infront of me. I know I managed to stop it before it went further than it did but the damage had already been done and no matter how much I wish I could I can't reverse it. Ever since Rosalyn woke up the only time she had spoken was when she asked to see Alessandro, micheal and I had to watch the life disappear from her eyes as we told her he was gone. At first she thought he was dead but then we explained the situation to her, however, that didn't make it any less painful. She tried searching for him for two months straight without any luck and the longer it took for us to find him the more withdrawn she became them to make matters worst what that guy did to her really messed her up plus the knowledge of knowing that Steven wasn't her real father but that psycho Evans then getting tortured by him, I guess it was all too much for her to handle and she just fell down a rabbit hole that no one not even me seem to be able to pull her out of. She doesn't eat she doesn't sleep, all she does is look at pictures of her and Alessandro while he was growing up and cries. She cries constantly until her body is too tired to keep up them she passes out for days at one point she passed out for a week because she was dehydrated and malnourished but regardless of what we do or say she doesn't eat so the doctor has her on IVs constantly in order for her body to get the nutrients it needs. Genevieve spends most of the days with her but that doesn't seem to cheer her up in any way or form no matter how hard Genevieve tries Rosalyn only stare at the walls with eyes so empty and lacking of any sign of life. The alpha and luna of her pack came to visit four times in the last six months and it has been in those times that I have ever seen an alpha that looked like he could rip apart a skyscraper building with his bare hands crying like a child, it was a historic and heart breaking sight. The luna whom i have come to know as Gabriella or Gabby as everyone calls her had already given birth to a strong baby boy but despite the the joyous occasion both parents were distraught because of what had happened. Alpha xander had even challenged ke'shaun at a fight to the death because he blamed him for everything that happened while Rose and Alessandro had been here. If not for the pleas from my mother he would have killed my brother already, however after it was announced that amber was pregnant he tried to kill him again and he almost succeeded too if his wife hadn't threatened him into backing down. They wanted to bring Rosalyn back to Italy but micheal told him that if they found Alessandro or he was to return it would be easier if Rosalyn remained in the states. We continued to search for Alessandro with the help of the council and the blood moon pack but our efforts didn't yield the results we were looking for, either we found his location a day after he's left or the information we received led us to the wrong person. The closest we ever came to actually finding him was when he was spotted in new York, by one of my business associates who immediately informed me of his whereabouts. we immediately took the trip there and found him at a luxurious hotel. As we entered the lobby the elevator opened with the body of a supreme Court judge. The bloodied body caused chaos and panic in the hotel and I guess he used that as a chance to escape. We all knew Alessandro was the culprit based on the way the man was killed, it was a technique taught to him by the council during his two years stay with them. It wasn't a surprise that he had killed someone, afterall that's how we've been tracking him, by the bodies he left behind. what we didn't know was why he did it and the only person who could give the answer to that question was Alessandro and he was long gone. Being so enthralled in my thoughts I almost missed Rosalyn stirring. I quickly but silently got up from the bed then made my way through the door I had left ajar incase I had to make a quick exit. As the gentle click of the lock was heard Rosalyn's breathing became less even by the second indicating she was waking up. I sighed in relief that I made it out in time I did not want a repeat of what happened last time. Flashback: It's been two weeks since the pack doctor performed surgery on rose to remove the bullet that was lodged in her chest. I haven't eaten or slept ever since I woke up and found out she's been shot. I don't even know how I'm still alive the last thing I remember is getting my abdomen ripped out by Nora then the next thing I know I'm awake in a hospital bed injury free. No one knows the reason behind my recovery but I know Rosalyn had something to do with it, however, I'll have to wait until she wakes up to find that out. I practically lived at the hospital for the whole two weeks that Rosalyn had been unconscious. It's driving me insane, why isn't she waking up I miss her so much it hurts both physically and emotionally. The doc said she's already completely healed but she still hasn't woken up, I want to see those beautiful eyes of hers I want to talk to her most importantly I want her to know what happened to Alessandro so we can search for him together, I know that with her help we'd be able to find him easily. Sighing 1 look down at the beautiful strong woman lying in the hospital bed beside me. Even in a state of unconsciousness she still manages to look regal. How can one person be so beautiful it should be a crime. I gently tucked away the lock of black hair in her face then brushed my thumb across her smooth caramel skin. "Come back to me baby please I can't do this without" I whispered then placed a kiss on her forehead. She started turning and twisting, at first i thought she was waking up but then she started turning more and more as if she was struggling to free herself from something. I shook her gently and called out her name trying to get her awake but she just kept on twisting and turning until she let out a loud scream and started yelling no no no. I was confused as to what she was saying and her hands were flashing all over the place causing the needles in her arms to fall out and injuring her in the process. I grabbed her hands and tried to keep her from moving so she wouldn't harm herself any further then I pressed the button above her head to summon the doctor or a nurse. When I held her down she kept screaming and I tried to talk to her, calling her name in efforts to get her to calm down but it didn't work. When she opened her eyes while still squirming I smiled because she was finally awake but then all hell broke loose and she started screaming again even louder this time. The doctor rushed into the room asking what happened, I turned to him to answer immediately loosening my grip on Rosalyn’s arms, she immediately pulled away and dragged herself to the furthest corner of the room. I was surprised at her actions she looked spooked as her eyes flashed from the doctor then me. "Rose" I called out to her as I took small steps towards her because she looked so terrified. When I reached out for her she flinched and my heart broke into a million pieces when I saw the level of fear in her eyes as she looked at me. That was when it clicked like a switch going off in my head, she was raped obviously she wouldn't want to be around me because I'm a man plus I didn't protect her like I promised I would I failed her and now she won't let me come near her. That day was the closest I got near her since then and even when micheal and I told her what happened to Alessandro it was in the presence of Genevieve and a female nurse.

Rosalyn’s pov My head hurts my heart aches my eyes are red and swollen my entire body feels weak and life less, I, feel weak and lifeless, but I also feel dirty like i've been tainted. I know Jermaine has been in here while i was sleeping his scent is all over the room. I must admit that it brings me some comfort but the pain in my heart and the war in my mind is too much to be rid of. I hate that i can't be around Jermaine as much I want to be by his side I cant, I will not allow myself to be near him. I'm useless and dirty no matter how much I shower and scrub my body I'll never be clean again because of what that monster did to me. I still see his face in my dreams still hear his voice in my head I can still feel his hands on me and no matter how much I scream and beg and fight it just won't go away. It's my fault it's all my fault, if I hadn't been so weak I wouldn't have gotten captured then be forced to watch as they tortured Jermaine infront of me and I was helpless to do anything about it. If i hadn't been so weak that man wouldn't have been able to get his way with me as my mother watched and laughed in triumph. If i wasn't weak Alessandro wouldn't think I'm dead and lose control, my baby boy would be here right now instead of murdering people. Everyone thinks I don't know what's going on but I do I can hear them especially when they're arguing. I know everything that goes on in this house I think the range of my hearing has increased exponentially due to all the listening I've been doing, it's like am training. For starters I know amber and ke'shaun are having a baby I think she’s due in three months time. No one told me that but i heard them talking I also heard alpha xander telling ke'shaun he was gonna kill him in the most inhumane way possible. I heard that the pack has been under alot of attacks lately because of Kevin. That son of a bitch my blood boils every time I think of him I swear if I get the chance I'll make him suffers a fate worst than death. I also hear Michael arguing with the council Everytime they visit. Those sneaky little old shits, they think I don't know what they did to my baby, experimenting on him like he's a guinea pig but they'll get what's coming to them I can feel it. The one thing I hear the most though, are the sounds of Jermaine crying in the night. I know it's my fault and it kills me inside and no matter how much my mind body and soul tells me to comfort him I can't because I would also be comforting myself and I don't deserve it. I'm dirty and weak and useless I don't deserve his love I'm tainted and broken.
