REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

I felt goosebumps all over my body and an overwhelming agony in my heart as I stood up from the floor.

I walked to the bed and sat on it while I tried to calm the fear and panic in me, ”You messed up big time Vicky, this time you messed up.” Sonia shook her head, disappointed.

With a heavy sigh, she left me and walked up to the kitchen, switched off the gas and carried the plates of pancakes in her hands.

She strolled to me, sat on the bed and handed a plate of pancakes to me, which I bluntly refused.

”Suit yourself.” She kept back the plate on the bed beside me and started eating.

The room was filled with silence, but the sound of my silent whimper could be heard all over the room.

”Aren’t you going to work?” she asked while taking a bite of the pancake into her mouth.

I shook my head but did not say a word.

I took a deep breath, picked up my phone and dialed the manager’s number. It rang a few times before it was picked.

”Good morning sir.” I greeted almost like a whisper.

”Good morning Vicky how are you.” he asked in a friendly tone which made me wonder why he was speaking to me in such a manner.

”Sir, I’m not too strong, can I come a bit late.”? I pleaded, ”No problem, take your time, you can come to the club tomorrow night, take care of yourself.” He said.

Hearing those words I was shocked, really shocked because I wasn’t expecting such a reply from him. ”Thank you sir.”

”You are welcome.” he muttered and ended the call.

I sighed in relief and lay on the bed with my back while I felt hot tears falling on my cheek, but I wiped them off and took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

”You can’t sit here and cry, you have to do something.” Sonia muttered while standing to her feet.

”Maybe I should talk to Eric.” I murmured.

”And tell him what?” she asked, irritated, ”that you are pregnant, but you don’t really know if he is the father because you slept with another man two days after mating with him. Is that what you will say to him ?” she barked out in anger, while I just gulped in tears and didn’t know what to say.

”Just flush out the pregnancy and rewrite your mistakes”

”I can’t abort this pregnancy.” I barked back at her.

I don’t really know the father of my child, but I can’t even think of getting rid of it.

”You won’t abort this baby?” she furiously asked with a scoff, ”Then get ready to face the consequences that come with it because I know what Eric will do if he finds out you slept with another man ”She yelled.

”Oh, please stop this, Sonia.” I muttered out angrily and stood up from the bed, ”Eric has no control over me, and my baby will never be his, I can’t see myself bearing his child, that man hates me.” I yelled, wiped off the pitiful tears from my eyes and walked aimlessly in the room.

”So you think the baby belongs to DOM Tim?” She asked.

”I don’t know.” I murmured, but I felt my heart leap with joy at the thought of the baby belonging to Tim.

Sonia shook her head, walked over to the closet, picked up a towel and left the room for the bathroom.

I took in a deep breath and sat on the bed with folded legs as I thought of a way to get myself out of this mess.

How do I tell DOM Tim I might be pregnant for him when I don’t know a thing about him, or how do I tell a man who I hate so much that I might be carrying his child.

”Help me God.” I wiped the tears from my eyes and thought of a plan, but no meaningful idea came up.

Alpha Eric’s POV

I smiled and put down the phone. I lay on the bed while smiling like a kid, I was so much in love with this woman and I couldn’t deny it anymore.

I sat on the bed and thought of what I said to her, and a sudden fear ran through my body.

How do I show my face to her, how do I tell her I’m Eric, her supposed mate who she despises so much.

I can see the anger and hatred Victoria has for me, and I became scared, wondering what she would do if she finds out I was Eric. I was scared, so scared. The thought of calling dad and asking for his help came to my thoughts, but then I remembered we weren’t on good terms.

I groaned angrily and stood up from the bed. I have Victoria to myself, but something tells me she will leave me once she finds out I’m Eric, hiding as DOM Tim.

”Shit!” I shook my head in frustration and was about going for a bottle of water when I noticed my phone ringing.

I checked the call and saw that it was Sophie calling.

Angrily, I ended the call and threw the phone on the bed.

I left my room, walked downstairs and left the house.

I walked into the woods and continued walking in the woods in my human form, so I could clear my head.

I walked further into the thick dark wood for some hours before going back home. I got home, walked to my room and noticed my phone blinking indicating I had a new notification.

I went to the phone on the bed, opened it and saw that it was a call from dad.

I was surprised to see his call after our last fight a few days ago. I was so angry and mad with him because his words kept echoing in my head.

I took a deep breath, sat on the bed and dialed his number. It rang a few times before it was picked

”Hello.” I murmured,

”Is that how you greet your old man.” Dad asked sarcastically.

I released a soft sigh but didn’t say a word.

”How are you.” he asked with so much concern in his voice that all the anger I had for him vanished immediately.

”I’m fine, what do you want Dad?” I asked in irritation.

He chuckled over the phone before speaking, ”I know my words might have hurt you, so I’m inviting you over to my place tomorrow for some bottles of beer. What do you say?”

”I’m not coming.” I replied quickly,

He kept quiet for a while before speaking up.

“Erickson”. Dad muttered out.

When I heard him call my full name, I knew it was impossible for me to reject his offer.

”I will be waiting for you, and don’t you dare think of not coming.” He warned in a serious tone before ending the call.

I groaned, frustrated, and roughly ran my fingers through my hair in anger and approached my closet.

I took out a clean towel, went to the shower, took my bath and came out of the bathroom.

I put on a (sweatpants) and laid on the bed shirtless before drifting to sleep with Victoria in my mind.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The next morning, I woke up but could hear voices downstairs. I stood up from the bed, left my room and went downstairs, only to see my aunt in the sitting room talking to my housekeeper.

”You never told me you were coming.” I announced my presence while taking the stairs.

She turned around and flickered me her usual warm smile before speaking, ”I wanted to surprise you. I’ve made your breakfast already.”

I groaned softly and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

”You don’t have to do that.” I murmured, while sitting beside her.

”But I want to.” She smiled at me and continued staring at me with a questioning look before speaking. ”You look so lively and happy, what happened?” she asked curiously.

I chuckled at her words and nervously massaged my forehead.

That was my aunt. She knew almost everything about me.

”What are you talking about, aunt.” I murmured those words while getting up from the couch, so she wouldn’t keep asking me questions.

”Why are you running away.” she asked behind me, but I ignored her and sat on the dining table.

Staring at the food before me, I noticed aunt made my favorite breakfast just the way I always wanted it.

I picked up a plate and dished out some food and placed it on my plate before taking a spoon of it.

I chewed slowly and noticed the taste was still the same after several years.

I took another spoon and kept eating when I noticed aunt taking the seat before me. I groaned and continued eating, hoping she wouldn’t trouble me with her curious questions.

She placed her two hands on the table while she positioned her cheek on her palms and continued staring at me like she was trying to read through me.

”Aunt.” I murmured when I could no longer endure her gaze.

”What.” she sarcastically asked with a mischievous smile on her face while I groaned and continued eating, trying my best to ignore her.

I ate as quickly as I could and stood on my feet.

”Your dad told me you were coming over to his place, so I’ll wait for you, so we could go together.”

I nodded my head at her and sped off to my room, so I could avoid whatever question she had for me.

I got to my room, took a cold shower and putt on a simple outfit of black fitted jeans and white long sleeve.

I put on my shoes and gelled my hair before spraying some perfume.

I picked up my phones and was about to leave the room when I remembered I hadn’t heard Victoria’s melodious voice.

I stared at my two phones and thought of which phone I should call her with. After much deliberation, I decided it was best to call her with DOM Tim’s number because she might not pick Eric’s call.

I took a deep breath and cleared my throat before dialing her number,

It rang and rang, but she didn’t pick.

I called again for the second and third time, but still got no response from her.

I took a better look at the phone to make sure I was calling her with DOM Tim’s number, and indeed I was right.

I dialed her number again, but still got no response from her.

An uncomfortable feeling bloomed in my chest and I felt my wolf becoming restless.

I inhaled and shook off the feelings in my chest before leaving my room.

I went downstairs and met my aunt coming out of the kitchen with a food container in her hand,

”This is for your father.” she smiled at me and we both left the sitting room.

We got to the garage while my driver opened the back seat door for us.

We got in, and the driver drove off.

I constantly checked my phone to see if I could get a call from her, but there was no call from her, so I decided to text her.

”Are you okay ?” I texted her and waited for a reply, but got none from her.

”Are you okay, you look troubled and nervous” Aunt asked with her curious gaze on me,

”Don’t worry aunt, I’m fine.” I responded and looked outside the window, so I could avoid her piercing gaze at me.

After a few minutes, we arrived at dad’s house. I got out of the car and opened the door for my aunt, who kept staring at me with a curious look.

I left her and hurriedly walked into the house. I got in and saw dad in the sitting room having a cup of coffee.

He made eyes with me, but I could see no reaction on his face. I took the couch opposite him and avoided my gaze from him.

Aunt walked in, greeted Dad and went straight to the kitchen.

”How are you.” dad asked with his piercing gaze on me,

”I’m doing okay.” I grumbled and looked away,

He nodded his head at me, stood up from the couch, went to the bar and took out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses.

”Let’s drink” he said and took his seat.

He opened the bottle of whiskey and poured it into the two glasses before handing a glass to me, which I took.

I took a sip of the drink and kept back the glass on the table.

Dad and I sat there in silence and none of us said a word until dad spoke up.

”I can feel you are worried and your wolf howling in pain, what’s wrong ?” he asked with his green piercing gaze on me,

I just sighed and took a sip of my drink.

Indeed, dad was right, I was troubled.

I’d been calling Victoria for almost an hour, and she hasn’t been picking up my calls or replying my messages, I was restless, so restless.

”What bothers you, son?”

”Nothing dad.” I replied him and took another sip of my drink while avoiding his gaze.

We drank in silence for a while until Dad broke the silence.

”My wolf is getting weaker, I can feel it.” hearing those words from him, I felt my body become numb; a great fear ran down my spine because I knew what that meant, but I refused to show him that I was scared or even bothered.

”Call your doctor for a check-up.” I said those words and took a sip of my drink to calm my nerves.

Dad released a heavy sigh and took a sip of his drink. ”You are not a kid neither are you foolish, so stop acting like one ” he muttered in a calm voice, but I knew he was irritated by my reply.

”I’m dying, and you know what that means.” he declared those words while staring at me with his piercing eyes. ”I want to see you get married to your mate, then I can die a peaceful man.” he muttered almost like a whisper while he took another sip of his drink.

I groaned and shook my head. I was in a dilemma trying to solve a problem in my life and here was dad talking about marriage.

The thought of getting married to Victoria had been in my mind, but how could I tell her to marry me when she hasn’t seen my face or know my identity.

She hates Eric so much because of the way I treated her and how I rejected her, and the only way I can have her is by making her love me as Eric, not only as DOM Tim.

”Dad.” I called out nervously.

He furrowed his eyebrows confused and stared at me, ”I need your help.” I whispered those words, almost to myself.
