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

RITA'S POV

I paced up and down the room, awaiting my mate's return. I was far from okay with the court's decision. I doubted if Sebastian's innocence was true. I had a strong conviction that he had a role to play in my kidnap.

Leo walked into the room and before he asked if anything was wrong, I walked over to him. "I don't feel comfortable with the judgement. Sebastian had to be questioned. He was the one who kidnapped me. The Draco guy told me why I was kidnapped. They wanted to torture me and then sell me off. Your elder brother can be bitter, but I doubt he would do such a thing. He was only interested in becoming Alpha. Sebastian on the other is interested in becoming the Alpha and torturing

me

Leo cupped my cheeks. "Don't worry. I'll handle everything. I'm not letting Sebastian go easily. I'm monitoring him now and I'm waiting for him to strike again. Of course, he will try to cover up, but we will be two steps ahead of him. He is playing games. I have to lecture him on the to play these games well."

I heaved a sigh of relief. He hugged me. "So, what is your schedule like today.

"I have two things in mind. One is to find Mr. Rio, the wolf who testified in my favor. Nobody knows where he is and I think it is Sebastian's doing."

"Sebastian, again." I could hear the disdain in his voice. "I can't wait for the day we destroy him completely. For now, I'm thinking of brutal ways to teach him a lesson. As for Mr. Rio, I will organize a search party for him."

1ooked up at his face. "Make me the leader of the search party. He helped me. I should participate actively in his search. "Deal. What is the second thing on your mind?

"My former home. The answers to my questions about my mother's death lies there. I don't want to you. My father is there, but he won't bat an eyelid if anybody tries to kill me."

He hugged me again. Then if you really need to go there, I will come with you."

"You will? Don't you have a lot of things to do? I don't want to disrupt your schedule? I just needed too inform location, just in case anything happens."

"I was planning on clearing my schedule for you anyways, so you have nothing to worry about. Plus, there is no way I will let you go there yourself. Nothing should happen to you."

My mate and I finally arrived at my former house. We were at the door and I took in a deep breath before knocking at the door.

Alpha Leo held my hand and gave it a small squeeze

I knocked at the door the first time, but I

I got no response.

I knocked again. No response again.

I was about to knock the third time and the door opened up. My father was the one at the door and immediately he saw us, he tried to close the door, but Leo held the door, stopping him. That's not the right way to treat your guests, Leo said casually.

My father turned to me and glared at me.

Your Alpha and Luna is here. Show some respect. No, show a log of respect."

He threw his face away.

"Kneel" Alpha Leo ordered and I watched. The same way he watched his wife and her daughter mistreat me throughout my stay with them.

He knelt down. I could not watch any longer so I held Alpha Legs hand, gave it a small squeeze, looked at his face and shook my head.

"Stand up." He said and my father quickly stood to his feet.

"Alpha Leo. Luna. Please come in. My step mother said. It was so that moment that I need her. My father moved away from the way and we went in. You're highly welcome. She said.

Taylor was seated on the sofa and immediately she saw the Alpha and I, she stood to her feet and bowed her head in greeting. It was my first time seeing her this humble. My father on the other hand was still at the door. He looked displeased.

Alpha Leo, Luna Rio. I apologize for my mate's behavior on his behalf. He has not eaten, so he is a little grumpy, I should get you something. I have-"

"We ate before coming, I interrupted. She was annoyed. She did not show it, but I knew that she was annoyed.

"If that is the case. My father took his seat. "Let's just go straight to the point. To what do we owe this visit?"

My step mother flashed us a fake smile and pointed to the sofa. Goodness. Where are o

our manners? Please have a seat

1 came to make peace with you, I lied as Leo and I sat. It was hard to come up with a lie, so I just said whatever came to mind. "We are a family. We should not fight."

My father looked skeptical. "Well, I was spoken to rudely earlier

Ty. My step mother called out. She glared hard at him. "Be nice. You're seated before your Alpha and the Luna."

I feigned a smile. "There's no hard feelings. I'd actually prefer it if everyone was more honest. Her pretense annoyed me. It took a lot from me not to grab her neck and get her to confess

"I would love that too. My step mother let out a fake laugh. Your father is just being plainly rude. Not honest."

I shifted my gaze away. I'm really pressed. Can I use the toilet."

"Yes, of course. This is also your house remember.

I scoffed. "I doubt that

She frowned. Finally, a sincere reaction.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"But, I continued. "I would use the toilet anyways,

1 got up and headed for the toilet upstairs. I decided to use the chance to check for the box in their room.
