REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Eric’s POV

“Who was that?” Sophie asked with jealousy.

“Nobody.” I replied and left the garden. I heard her soft murmuring behind me, but I paid no attention to it.

I was bothered why I didn’t feel disgusted or uncomfortable by her touch. This was strange, really strange.

I went back to the party and met dad with some guests. He saw me and quickly walked up to me.

“Are you going to make the announcement? Everyone is waiting for you to break the good news to them.” dad spoke with a smile on his face while staring directly at Victoria.

“Tell me you are joking.” I spoke in disbelief.

“No, I’m not, and if you don’t do it, then I will help you.” Dad threatened.

I felt so angry and irritated that I had to walk up to her and pull her out of the party. My life was perfect until she showed herself.

I dragged her out of the party and could hear her whimpering in pain, but I ignored her and pushed her into my room.

“What is the meaning of this?” she asked in fear. I ignored her and pushed her to the wall with so much force that she cried out in pain. I told her I would never accept her as my mate, that she wasn’t my type.

She stared at me with disgust and told me she would never want someone like me.

The moment I heard those words from her, I felt my wolf growl in anger and, out of impulse, I held her neck so tight that she was gasping for air.

“You are choking me.” she whispered in pain, but I ignored her and tightened my grip on her. She tried taking my grip off, but it was too tight, and she eventually gave up.

I glared right into her eyes and noticed she was in pain while tears were threatening to fall down from her eyes. The moment I saw those tears in her eyes, my wolf howled in pain and I released my grip on her, but it was too late because she had already passed out.

Like a child, she fell in my arms and I quickly held her. I stared at her and saw a droplet of tears on her cheek.

I groaned in frustration, carried her in my arms and lay her on my bed.

A knock on the door got my attention. “Dad, we need some time to talk.” without being told, I knew it was dad at the door.

“I will be back.” dad said those words and left the door.

I stared back at the unconscious girl on my bed and noticed how fragile she was. Just a grip on her neck and she had fainted already.

“Weak.” I murmured. I went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water. I spilled some on my hand and sprinkled it on her, but she did not make a move.

I groaned and splashed more water on her, but she did not make any sign of waking up.

A knock came on my door again, which got me annoyed. “Dad, I told you to give us sometime.” I yelled.

“Open the door.” A female voice yelled.

”Aargh!” I groaned and went for the door. The minute I opened the door, the girl rushed in with Dad, “What did you do to her?” she yelled at me when she saw her unconscious friend on my bed.

She rushed to the bed and shook her roughly, but she wasn’t responding.

“What have you done?” dad spoke in a disappointing tone.

I stared at her unconscious body and felt my heart clenched. I moved to the bed and tapped her roughly, but she did not respond.

“You’ve killed her.” dad whispered.

“She is not dead.” I yelled.

I wasn’t scared of being a murderer, but the thought of her dying made me restless.

I noticed her friend was talking to someone on the phone, and moved my attention to her.

“Yes sir, she passed out again.”she told the person on the phone.

She passed out again? Does that mean she has been losing consciousness?

She ended the call and stared at me with hatred before moving her gaze to dad.

“Do you have garlic or anything that has a strong smell?” she asked

“Yes, I’ll be right back.” dad stared at me with disgust and left my room.

The girl heaved a sigh and sat by Vicky’s side.

“What is wrong with her?” I demanded,

“I should be the one asking you what you did to her?”

“Just because you are a powerful alpha, that doesn’t give you the right to treat her this way. She wasn’t the one who asked the moon goddess to give her to you.” she yelled.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I stared at her and knew it took everything in her to say those words to me.

I groaned and sat on the couch, frustrated.

“What is wrong with her?” I asked again, this time concerned. But she ignored me and kept calling out to Vicky.

Dad walked in with some garlic in his hands and gave it to her,

She took the garlic from his hands, opened it and placed it in Vicky’s nostrils.

“Come on, Vicky, get up.” She pleaded. Within some minutes, she sniffled and slowly opened her eyes.

She met eyes with me and I could see hatred, anger, and fear in her eyes. “Are you okay, my dear.” dad asked, sounding worried.

She beamed at dad and nodded her head.

“Let’s go home.” her friend said those words and stood on her feet while holding the hands of Victoria.

“Is she okay?” dad asked again.

“I’m fine.” she replied and stood on her feet.

“We have to get going, we have work to do.” she smiled at dad and walked past me.

She was about to leave the room, but then she turned around and settled her gaze on me.

“I don’t understand what’s going on, but I wish never to see you again in my life, never again.” she muttered with hatred and walked away.

The moment she said those words, I felt my wolf howled in pain and my heart clenched.

“Bravo son, bravo, I’m really proud of you.” Dad clapped both his hands at me and left my room. Angrily, I punched the wall, because for strange reasons her words hurt me and I couldn’t explain it.

“Are you okay.”

I moved my gaze and saw Sophie standing by the door, but I ignored her and sat on the bed.

“Did you have a fight with your Dad?” she asked while sitting beside me.

“Yes.” I murmured angrily.

She thought for a while and stood before me.

“Do you want me to take all your worries away?” she asked in a low submissive voice.
