The Alpha's Rejection, The Kings Acceptance Chapter 20
Scarlett stood there, unblinking, like an antelope caught in the deer's light as she stared at Gemma.What was Gemma doing in the palace? And why was she with the king? And why had she dyed her hair red?Scarlett could hardly believe her eyes. Kellan's hand was wrapped around Gemma's shoulder as they walked in.When Gemma caught sight of her, she flashed an intimidating smirk, further confusing Scarlett.It felt like a dream she expected to wake up from soon.Gemma's new hair and eye color unsettled Scarlett. Gemma had always mocked her for her bright red hair and eyes, so why was she suddenly sporting the same colors?And why had Gemma given her that smile? It seemed like a triumphant smirk, as if she were saying, "I won again."The way Kellan's hand was wrapped around Gemma's shoulder was something Scarlett had never imagined seeing.She resisted the urge to call out to Gemma; she could not question the king. And she did not know why Gemma was here either, so she decided to hold her

Kellan walked away from Gemma and settled onto the bed, shaking his head. He picked up his phone and dialed a number before pressing it against his ear, letting out a deep sigh."Come, I need you to show Gemma to her room," Kellan said into the phone before he disconnected it.He looked up to see Gemma staring at him with a downtrodden expression, and he felt guilt gnawing at him in his chest. He didn't mean to hurt her, but something didn't feel right, and he knew he couldn't keep it to himself. He needed to figure out what was wrong on his own."Is everything ok?" Gemma asked, disappointment still evident in her eyes."Yes, I just need a minute to sort out my emotions," Kellan replied without looking up at her."Are you sure? I'm sorry if I did anything wrong," Gemma apologized, a sad expression settling on her face."You didn't do anything wrong. Rick will be here to show you to your room soon," Kellan spoke, an air of finality in his tone that made Gemma remain silent.She watched

Kellan looked from Scarlett to Gemma, attempting to gauge their emotions.The tense atmosphere in the room he had just entered gave a clear indication that the women were not at peace.And the way Scarlett's foot kept on tapping on the floor as she glared at Gemma who was gladly returning the glare said a lot."What is going on here?" Kellan fixed his gaze on Scarlett, who averted her eyes from Gemma, who she had been giving a death glare, and looked at him.Kellan could see her eyes soften, but the resent was still there and it made him wonder what Gemma could have done to provoke Scarlett's wrath."Nothing of concern, my king," Scarlett said, bowing her head in submission.Kellan passed a suspicious stare at them."Hopefully, that's the case. You may leave," Kellan said with a stern expression.Scarlett looked at him for a moment before she turned and walked out of the room, as Kellan had dismissed her.As he watched her leave, the hurt he had seen in her eyes when she glanced at hi

Kellan walked into the dining room and settled into the chair as the maid placed his meal in front of him.He glanced at the plate before him and turned to a guard who stood nearby, ready to assist if needed."Fetch me my mate," he instructed, and the guard bowed before heading towards Gemma's room.It didn't take long before a beaming Gemma appeared in front of Kellan and took a seat at the table opposite him."Good morning, My king," she stuttered.It had been a day since her confrontation with Scarlett, and the embarrassment from that day still lingered in her mind."Morning, Gemma," Kellan's husky voice greeted her, and she bit her lip before catching herself and letting it go immediately."I hope you slept well, my king?" She asked, her voice still filled with excitement at being invited to breakfast by the king."I did. I know you did too," Kellan offered a weak smile, which she gladly returned with a wide one.Gemma was about to reply when the maids entered, carrying a tray of

Kellan seemed to sense a familiar presence in the restaurant, and when he looked up from his meal to scan the room, he found Scarlett standing at the entrance with his brother, Negan.He could barely believe his eyes. He had never expected to see Scarlett here, especially not with his brother.He had no idea their relationship had become so serious. Suddenly, Negan wrapping his hand around Scarlett's shoulder earlier that day made sense.Despite warning her about his brother, she seemed to have turned a deaf ear and went ahead to be with him.Annoyance burned inside him, but he managed to hide it as he tapped his fork against the plate rhythmically.Negan noticed Kellan's gaze fixed on him and Gemma's table. He strolled toward them, holding Scarlett's hand tightly."You came here with your mate, brother," Negan flashed a smirk."As you can see," Kellan's voice came out low and annoyed."Well, I came here with Scarlett," Negan continued, clearly enjoying provoking his brother. Kellan g

Scarlett felt like a searing blade had pierced her chest when the king yelled at her, causing her to step back.She bowed her head to the ground."I asked you a question, and I am expecting an answer!" Kellan's voice thundered once more in the room. Scarlett looked up, ready to speak, when Negan stepped in front of her, shielding her from his brother's death glares."You should take it easy on her. I'm sure nobody would harm an untriggered person," Negan defended her, and she felt her heart warm a little."Step back, Negan," Kellan growled at his brother, clearly displeased that he was standing in his way. "I am not talking to you, and this is none of your business, so move out of my way."Negan stepped aside. Kellan was the king, and even though he was his brother, Negan knew better than to incur the king's wrath."Apologize to Gemma this moment," Kellan turned to Scarlett as he commanded her.Scarlett could not believe her ears! Had he just asked her to apologize to Gemma without ev
