Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 6

Alpha Clinton was about to speak when Charles signaled that he wanted to. He couldn't say directly that he gave up the position of Alpha because of Clara but knew he had to make them see and respect Jaxon for who he was. Whatever would happen if he wanted to marry an Omega in the near future would be between him and the pack members. For now, Charles was more interested in making this sacrifice for the woman he loved.

"Everyone, the title of Alpha comes with conditions I cannot meet. Since my big brother is here, he should take up such responsibilities."

Clara was displeased. She was directly trying to create problems for the Alpha to change his mind, but Charles was foolishly supporting it. Not wanting to incur Jaxon’s wrath upon realizing that the title of Alpha rightfully belonged to him, except that he had chosen his mate over it, so this was not much of a big deal if his mate was no longer in the picture. Clara also could not refute the fact that Jaxon had better charisma to lead the pack than Charles. Putting her thoughts together, she wanted to get out of the mess she created, saying,

"Since Charles approves of it, then so be it. Congratulations, Alpha Jaxon!"

Jaxon raised his brows but did not respond. Clara was embarrassed as he turned around and addressed the pack members.

"Everyone, I am happy to be back. Together, we shall grow this pack and make it stronger. I have learned a lot within the three years I have been away, and we need the pack to grow in wealth as well, so I need everyone on board for this vision to be achieved. Talking about achievement, we need mutual respect. Whether you are the Alpha, Beta, Delta, or even an Omega, we all have responsibilities, for which reason no one, and I mean, no one must look down on the other. I will be forced to implement punishments if anyone looks down or talks trash to any Omega in this pack. Snow Mountain Pack is not like the rest, and everyone is special to us."

Jaxon’s tone was a blend of confidence, firmness, and respect. It also exuded an authority that forced everyone to succumb. This time, the cheers were louder among the Omegas as most of them yelled, "You will live long, Alpha Jaxon." This was the first time an Alpha of any pack gave such an order to stop others from bullying them, for which reason Jaxon became a god to them.

Jaxon pursed his lips but did not smile, only nodding a little. He had more to say to them. "Also, egg stoning is banned in this pack for whatever reason. Anyone caught doing so would have to join the rogues."

Everyone began to clap, so Clara forced herself to do so as well. While her expression was very hard, it felt as if Jaxon was directly addressing her, though his gaze remained on the pack members. The aura he emitted made her uncomfortable; she could not confront him. However, he was not done and continued to say,

"Last but not least, I will not have my coronation yet. I would like to do so together with my mate when she returns."

'When she returns? Is it his human mate?' Clara thought through his words. She was confused because Charles told her that Jaxon left because of his mate, so why would he return without her? And why was he expecting her to return? Clara reserved her questions for later. She would either get her answers from Charles or Jaxon himself.

However, since she wanted to be Luna, it was time to make Jaxon fall in love with her. Wherever his mate was or whoever she was, Clara was going to make sure that Jaxon forgot about the woman and fell in love with her. If there was anything that the moon goddess blessed her with, it was her beauty, with her hourglass figure and blue eyes that could draw any man. No other woman in the pack had such beauty, and she swam gracefully in it.

There was confusion written on the faces of all the pack members as well, but Jaxon had ended his speech. He also did not give room for any questions whatsoever. Alice smiled from a distance. She was the only one, together with the old Alpha and Beta, who knew the reason for Jaxon’s blend of kindness and ruthlessness. She also knew that he was indeed in love with her daughter and would accept her when she returned. Calmness returned to her soul, and it was filled with renewed hope.

Jaxon whispered something to Charles and walked away with his father. Charles immediately addressed the pack members.
