Worthless to Priceless The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 31

AMELIA’S PO.V

I was having the most blissful dream about being in an ethereal garden with a beautiful horizon and water as bright as crystals. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing but then I started to hear Clara’s voice. At first I was so confused and I looked around hoping to see her but she was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I woke up and the remnants of my dream were washed away by the awareness of reality.

I looked around for Clara thinking she was in my room but my room was empty and my door was still shut. I began to think that I had imagined her voice in my dream when. suddenly I heard her voice as clear as day in my head.

“Wake up,” she said over and over again and I was confused for a few seconds.

I thought I was imagining it all when suddenly yesterday’s events settled in my brain and I remembered that Kaden added me to the mind link. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I wasn’t actually going crazy.

“I’m awake,” I responded in my heads I wiped the remnants of sleep out of my eyes and I glanced at the clock on the wall. It read 5 a.m. and I stared at it in confusion. “Why did you wake me up so early? Is something happening today?”

I was scared that she would give me bad news. I tried to remember what happened last night and if I had done something wrong. When I got back from the office with Caleb, I ate lunch and told everyone how my first day went then Clara and I did the dishes and I retired to my room and didn’t come out again until dinner.

Dinner was practically the same as lunch. We ate and talked and then I retired back to my room. Are they upset that I didn’t stay out to talk with them after eating? I could feel my heart pulsating as my brain conjured up the worst case scenarios. Whatever remnants of sleep had disappeared as the anxiety that threatened to swallow me whole took root.

“Nothing is happening, relax,” she told me with amusement dripping from her tone. “Training with the kids starts in an hour and if you want to join them, then you up and get ready.”

I let out an audible sigh of relief. “Thank you for waking me, I’ll be out soon.”

I cut off the mind link with her and instantly rushed out of bed. Through the curtain I could see that it was still dark out but it did nothing to dissuade me and in record time I had taken a bath and gotten

ready for the day. I got dressed in a pair of black leggings and a grey tank top. I didn’t want anything that I would overheat in but I also wanted something decent since I would be around children.

Once I was dressed, I checked the time and it was 5: 20. I made my way out of the room into the living room. I wasn’t expecting to see anyone except Clara awake but Devin was at the dining table. There was a cup of coffee in his hands and when he heard my footsteps he turned to face me. I gave him a small smile as I made my way over and he pushed a plate of eggs to

an empty seat for me and I smiled up at him.

“Thank you,” I said as I started to wolf down the eggs but he waved me off as if to say it wasn’t a big deal.

“You’re off for training right?” he asked and I nodded. “Well your car came in last night so you can take it. You can’t miss the training ground; I’ll describe it for you.”

I listened intently as he explained how to get there and when I got into my car, I prayed that I wouldn’t make a wrong turn. As I drove silently, I prayed under my breath and when I finally saw the training field in front of me, I let out a sigh of relief.

I checked the time and there was still ten minutes to spare. I got out of the car and made. my way into the field. As I got there, I noticed a familiar figure hunched over and setting out some training mats. He heard my footsteps and turned to me and I was shocked to see Ronald from the repair shop. He seemed surprised to see me too but he smiled.

“Hi,” I said to him, “I didn’t know you were the coach.“.

“Clara told me that you were coming. You can just wait over there; most of the kids will be here soon. Just so you know, you’ll be training with ten to fourteen year olds. Clara said she informed you but I have to tell you again.”

“It’s fine,” I assured him. “I don’t care who I train with as long as I get trained.”

He nodded and went back to what he was doing and I noticed he had a slight limp. I decided to look away and sure enough, a few kids started to appear with their parents. Most

of them stared at me brazenly but a few looked away. I could tell they were curious about me but none of them made a move to speak about it or say anything.

Once it was six on the dot, Ronald stood to his feet and started the training. At first we ran laps and I could see the shock on the children’s faces as I started running with them but still, none of them said a word and judging by the looks they kept shooting at Ronald, I was sure it was because of him. By the time we were done running. I was winded but most of the kids looked like they were used to it and some didn’t even break a sweat.

After, we had martial arts training. I couldn’t spar with any of the kids as I was a lot bigger than them so I sparred with Ronald. At first I was worried because of his limp but it turned out that even with the limp, Ronald could best me. When he pinned me on my back for possibly the third time, I heard a child snicker and Ronald shot him a death glare that had him quieting immediately.

We finished around 7: 30 and parents started to pick up their kids. I saw a few of them give me weird looks and I couldn’t help the embarrassment that creeped up my cheeks. I didn’t want to

encounter them in the parking lot so I made my way over to Ronald and decided to help him pack up. I figured that helping him would be better than the millions of stares and conversation I would be roped into by the children and their parents.

I could only imagine the things they were saying about me outside. They were probably wondering who I was and why I had to train with children when I was clearly an adult. I forced myself not to think about it because I didn’t want to get anxious or self conscious.

“Thank you,” he said once he noticed me helping him with a mat and I nodded.

“How did you get into training kids?” I asked unable to stop the curiosity in my tone. “I thought you were a repair man.”

“I was a warrior but I suffered a nasty hit to my knees that didn’t heal properly,” he gestured to his leg and he rolled up his trousers so I could see a jagged scar on his knee and I winced. “I retired to the auto shop after that but the Alpha knows how much I love training so he gave me the chance to be able to train kids and I took it.”

“You’re a good trainer.”

He smiled. “You don’t need any training, I could always protect you.”

stop myself from laughing at that. “Thanks for the offer, but I really want to know how to save myself.” I looked at the time on his watch and cursed. “I should better be going now, I’ll see you later.”

I rushed off before he could say anything and practically sped home. I rushed through my bath and getting ready process so that I would be able to get to class early. I forgot to check how much I had left from the money Pamela had given to me for the week but I bought a

of coffee for two dollars to help keep myself awake.

I barely made it and there was only one free chair and it was next to the girl who had warned me away from Aiden. I realized that I still didn’t know her name as I took a seat next to her. She glanced at me but didn’t say a word and I figured she would appreciate the silence so I didn’t either.

As the teacher started to teach, I realized how exhausted I was. I could barely keep myself awake and I didn’t even know I had started drifting off to sleep until I felt a sharp elbow at my side. I turned to the girl and she was practically glaring at me.

“Say fifteen,” she instructed and I didn’t know what she was on about but because of the urgency in her eyes, I did.

“That’s correct,” I turned and realized that the teacher had probably caught me sleeping, and asked me a question. “Just pay attention next time.”

“Thank you,” I whispered to the girl once the teacher had gone to sleep and all she did was shrug.

After class, she made to leave but I stopped her because I knew that I had to know her name. She had saved me from a lot of embarrassment and the least I could do is know her

name.

“Thank you for earlier,” I said to her and she shrugged, “I still don’t know your name:

“My name is Serena but what I want to know is why you were falling asleep in class.” I explained that I had training and her brows rose high. “That’s weird, only children from elite families send their children to train. Are you from an elite family?”

“Maybe it’s because my father is an Alpha,” I offered and she hummed.

It was obvious that she didn’t think that was the reason but she didn’t have anything else to offer as a reason so she decided to leave it at that.

“Our next class isn’t until an hour,” she said. “Do you want to go to the café?”

“Sure,” I said as I followed her out of the class but my words were on her earlier thoughts.

If only children of the elite were allowed to train then it was probably because they were useful to the pack. If that is true then does Kaden have something he expects me to do after I have completed my training?
