REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

I felt my heart pounding with excitement as he wrapped me with the towel and carried me in his arms. This feels so good that I prayed never to wake up if it were to be a dream.

He made me sit on the bed, went to his drawer, took out loose underwear and put it on before taking out a big shirt.

I met eyes with him as he walked up to me, but quickly I nervously looked away as I felt a familiar feeling in my stomach, which I knew what it meant.

He squatted before me, took off the tower from my body and put the big shirt on me. He held my shoulders with his two hands and stared directly into my eyes like he was trying to read through me.

“Are you hungry,” he asked.

“No,” I whispered.

“Do you feel pain anywhere?” he asked again.

“No, I’m fine.” I flashed him an assuring smile, which he returned.

“Okay,” he kissed my head and made me lay on the bed.

”I’ll be right back.” he said, and covered me with a blanket before leaving the bed.

He went to the door, opened it, and left the room.

The moment he left the room, I sighed in relief and relaxed on the bed, but then a thought came to my head.

I was going through pain, and was shivering in cold, but the moment I had sex with Eric, everything disappeared and, right now, I feel refreshed and comfortable.

This was strange, really strange.

I was still in thought when something caught my attention beside his bed table. I picked it up and stared at the photo of me.

I was putting on a blue crop dress, tight black jeans and my hair was let loose on my shoulders.

Puzzled, I stared at the picture and realized I couldn’t remember taking this picture or having such clothes.

Few minutes later, the door opened and Eric came walking in with a cup of coffee in his hand. He stared at the photo in my hand before curiously staring at me.

I kept back the photo beside his bed, and took the coffee from him. “Thank you.” I smiled and sat on the bed while he sat on the couch before me and I couldn’t help but gaze at his perfect body.

He caught me staring and flashed me a big grin, which I noticed and looked away. “Were you restraining yourself?” I asked as I took another sip of the coffee.

He stared at me with confused eyebrows before speaking. “Why do you think so?”

“Nothing, pretend like I didn’t ask.” I replied.

“Unfortunately, I can’t do so, so tell me why you think I restrained myself,” he demanded.

I gulped nervously and decided to tell him what I noticed, “Because I noticed it.” I mumbled. “There were things you wanted to do, but I noticed you held yourself from doing them. There were times you wanted to increase your speed and do other things, but I noticed you held it back.” I added and nervously sipped the coffee.

He went silent for a while before responding, “You are right, I’m a beast in bed, but I can be as gentle as a Lamb when it comes to you.” he muttered firmly.

Alpha Eric’s POV

We sat there in a comfortable silence as I wondered what was going through her head and counted Kelvin lucky with his gift.

I watched her finish the coffee and placed the cup on the side table. “Get some rest,” I said, and stood to my feet.

“Will I sleep here?” she asked curiously.

I stared at her and wondered if she knew how long I wanted her in my arms. “Yes, are you comfortable here?” I asked,

She thought for a while before she nodded her head. “I’m fine.” she flashed me a cute smile that brought flutters to my heart.

I made her lay on the bed and tucked her inside the blanket. “Are you not sleeping with me.” She asked as she drew the blanket to her chest. “I am, but before then I need to check on my men at the quarters, but I will be back.” I placed kisses on her forehead before leaving the room with just my underwear.

I went downstairs, left the house and went to the quarters. I got to the quarters and opened the door of the sitting room, only to see two of my men in the sitting room.

“Where are the others?” I asked, while walking in.

“Gone to their mates,” Jackson replied sadly.

I released a soft sigh and tapped his shoulders with my right hand. “It’s alright, you guys have plenty of time to meet your mate. I met my mate when I was already twenty-five.” I comforted them.

Both Jackson and Andrew nodded their heads to my words.

I noticed they were still sad despite I said those words to them, and I needed to do something to lighten their mood. “Take off your clothes, we are going to the woods.” the moment I said those words, I noticed how Jackson and Andrew’s eyes lightened with excitement.

“Really,” they asked, in unison.

“Take off your clothes before I change my mind,” I muttered, and went for the door.

I was just a few steps out of the quarters when I noticed Jackson and Andrew running after me.

We left the mansion and crossed the road to the woods. We walked deeper into the woods for a while before taking off my underwear, and Jackson and Andrew did the same.

“I can’t believe you have this place.” Jackson spoke, trilled.

“I wanted space and privacy, so it’s nothing.” I explained and felt my bones cracking while I shifted comfortably into my wolf form.

I turned around and noticed both of them were staring at me with wild eyes. “What is it?” I asked through telepathy.

“This is the first time I’ve seen your wolf.” Andrew muttered excitedly.

“You guys just came here three months ago, but don’t worry, you will be seeing more of this.” I said through telepathy and began walking away.

I heard the cracking of bones behind me and turned to see two brown wolves walking behind me. I taught them some skills in fighting until I discovered they were exhausted but also excited.

We shifted to our human form and put on our underwear. “Thank you, we really appreciate.” Jackson muttered with a big smile.

“I’m your alpha and this is my responsibility.” I smiled at them and was about walking away, but Andrew’s words stopped me. “You’ve really changed.” Andrew spoke while I turned and stared at him but didn’t say a word. “You were cold-blooded, arrogant and not a caring type of person, but all these changed when you met her.” hearing those words from him, I noticed the color of his eyes were darker, indicating he wasn’t saying it knowingly, rather his gift was the one making him talk.

Andrew has a gift of past events playing in his head, just like Prince Liam, but Prince Liam could control his gift and will only see past events when he touches your hand and only if he wants to. But for Andrew, he doesn’t know how to control it yet, and most of the time it comes out unknowingly to him, which was disastrous because we live in a world where some people don’t know we exist. This was actually the reason he was here to take training on that, so he could control his ability.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I noticed Andrew blinked his eyes and closed them before opening them.

“I’m so sorry, I lost control.” he apologized.

“No need for that, that’s why you are here.” I said and led the way out of the woods.

“Something is wrong,” Jackson whispered as he closed his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” I asked,

“Your mate,” he murmured.

“Victoria.” I blurted with fear and rushed to the house.

I climbed upstairs to my room, opened the door and found the bed empty.

“Victoria!” I called out and hurried to the bathroom, but she wasn’t there.

I left my room, rushed into her room, but she wasn’t there.

”Mate!” My will howled in fear.

With panic, I took a deep breath and noticed her scents were fading, meaning she was no longer in the mansion.

“No, No.” I muttered out in fear as I climbed downstairs and met Jackson and Andrew in the sitting room because we were the only ones in the whole building.

“Shit.” I muttered out in regret.

“I can help,” Andrew suggested, and walked away from us.

He stood on the staircase, placed his hands on the handle of the stairs and closed his eyes. “They came through the front door,” he announced.

“They,” I asked in panic.

He nodded his head but didn’t say a word. “Went upstairs to your room, and he carried her on his shoulder because she had already passed out.”

“Shit.” I groaned in regret. “Who are they?” I asked impatiently.

“Do you recognize any of their faces?” I asked again.

Andrew didn’t say a word, rather, with his eyes closed, he left the stairs and went for the door. He stood at the door for a while before he opened his eyes, which were clouded with blood.

“Alpha Michael was here.” he declared.

“Shit, shit, shit.” I muttered in anger as I hurried back to my room to get my phone.

How smart of him, he knew my estate would be empty, so he decided to make use of that opportunity.

“Pick the damn call.” I yelled as I roughly scattered my hair with my fingers. I was careless to have left Victoria all on her own, when I knew the house was empty, but then, I never thought of Mike attacking my house because he was still insane.

The call ended and Mike refused to pick up.

Quickly, I dialed another number. It rang a few times before it was picked.

“Do you know how late it is?” he murmured.

“Where are you, Liam?” I asked, in panic.

“Home, where else would I be in a time like this.” he grumbled.

“Listen, Mike has taken Victoria.” I muttered in regret.

“How is that possible? He is still insane, I saw him two days ago.” Liam responded in disbelief.

“I don’t know how he managed to gain his sanity, I just need to make sure Victoria is alright.” I said as a different type of fear enveloped my entire being.

“Calm down, don’t do anything. You are not in the right frame of yours, let me make some calls.” He pleaded and ended the call on me.

I threw the phone on the couch and walked around the sitting room as fear ran through my entire body.

Victoria being in the hands of Micheal was something I can’t even imagine. I groaned in anger as I felt my bones breaking down, but I kept my wolf at bay. Roughly, I scattered my hair as I thought of what Victoria might be going through in the hands of Mike.

A call on my phone got my attention. Quickly I went for it and realized it was Liam calling.

“What did you find?” I asked.

“So sorry man, he got healed by the alpha of the blood pack yesterday morning, I’m so sorry.” he mumbled regretfully.

“Shit.” I yelled, furious. “I should have killed him when I had the chance.” I muttered in regret.

“This is bad, I’ve already called some of my men to go to his house and check if he is there.” Liam assured me.

All he said wasn’t my problem, all I was bothered about was my Victoria and what she might be going through.

Slowly, I ended the call and threw the phone on the couch, but just then I heard the phone ringing. Quickly, I went for it and realized it was mike calling.

“I’ll kill you and feed your body to my dogs if you touch a hair on her body.” I yelled the moment I picked up the call.

I heard Mike’s loud chuckle before he spoke up, “I have her, and you will do exactly as I say,” he declared.

“Damn you,” I muttered.

“You will do exactly as I said, I’ll give you an address, and you will meet me there tomorrow night alone. If you think of involving your men or play any foul play, you know who will pay for it,” he muttered as a threat.

“I will kill you, and it’s a promise,” I yelled.

“Are you done blabbering?” Mike mocked.

I groaned angry and frustratingly ran my fingers through my hair. “I should have killed you when I had the chance.” I yelled angrily.

“Unfortunately, you did not.” he chuckled loudly while I groaned in regret, but didn’t say a word.

“See you tomorrow.” He said and ended the call on me.

“Shit.” I yelled and threw the phone on the couch.

“What did he say?” Jackson and Andrew asked.

I ignored them, picked up my phone from the couch, and took the stairs to my room.

I threw the phone on the bed and continued running my fingers through my hair as a different type of fear enveloped my entire body.

With a frustrated sigh, I collapsed on the floor and thought of calling father, but I remembered he wasn’t in good health, and it would be a risk to tell him this.

Victoria occupied my entire thoughts throughout the night as I couldn’t sleep. As early as 7am, I kept calling Mike, but his numbers were switched off. Angrily, I threw away the phone. Few minutes later, I noticed my phone ringing. I went for the phone and saw that the call was coming from Liam. Tiredly, I picked up the call and placed it on my ear.

“Hey, how are you.” He asked the moment he picked up the call, “You know the answer to that.” I replied tiredly.

Liam sighed heavily before he spoke, “My men went to his house and found nobody in his house. His house is empty,” he announced.

I took a deep breath but didn’t say a word.

“Have you gotten any calls from him?” Liam asked.

I wanted to tell him about the call I got from Mike, but then I remembered Mike’s warnings and thought it was better to keep it to myself.

“Nothing, I haven’t gotten anything yet.” I replied.

The line was silent until I spoke, “I’ll call you later.” I said and ended the call. I threw the phone back on the floor and tried standing to my feet when I heard a soft knock on the door.

“Who is it.” I asked with a murmur.

“Jackson.” he responds from the door.

“What is it.” I asked tiredly.

“Someone named Sophie is here to see you, we’ve been telling her to leave that now is not the right time, but she wouldn’t listen.” he explained.

I groaned angrily and went for the door, opened it and walked out of the room while Jackson followed me from behind.

I walked downstairs to my sitting room and found a few of my men already in the sitting room.

“Good morning alpha.” they all greeted with a sad expression on their faces.

I ignored them and fixed my gaze on Sophie, who was seated at the bar with a glass of wine in her hand. ” Cheers.” she flashed me a big grin before taking a sip of her wine.

“Give us some privacy.” I directed those words to my men.
