REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

”This is like the tenth time he has been calling you, and you don’t want to pick up.” Sonia muttered when she noticed I was refusing to pick up DOM Tim’s call.

I released a soft breath and ran my hands on my body to warm myself from the cold I was having.

The blinking of my phone got my attention. I picked up my phone and read through the message.

”Are you okay.” he texted.

By the look of the text he had been sending me, it was obvious he was genuinely worried about me.

I kept the phone back on the bed because I couldn’t speak to him. If I pick up his call, he will notice something is definitely wrong, and I don’t want to tell him right now.

a Few minutes later, The ringing of my phone got my attention. I went for the call and noticed it was Eric calling, quickly I ended the call with anger.

”Who was that.” Sonia asked while going for my phone. She checked the caller and knew it was Eric calling.

”Why don’t you pick up his call and hear what he has to say?”

”He has nothing to say to me.” I barked out in anger, ”You are just being unfair to Eric, he hasn’t done anything wrong to you…” I did not let those words finish in her mouth before I cut her off.

”Really??” I asked in disbelief, ”This guy hates me, he wished I had never shown up in his life, he almost killed me on two occasions and here you are saying I’m being unfair to him.” I shook my head in disbelief at her words.

The phone rang again, and this time she handed the phone over to me. ”pick up his call and hear what he has to say.” she muttered those words as a plea.

I sighed, took the phone from Sonia and placed it on my ear.

”Why are you calling?” I barked in anger.

The line went silent for a while before he spoke up, ”I just wanted to check on you.” He spoke those words almost like a whisper, different from the Eric I knew.

”I’m fine, can I end the call.” I did not wait for his response before I ended the call and threw the phone on the bed.

”That wasn’t right, who knows you might be carrying his child”

”I’m not carrying his child.” I yelled out.

The thought of carrying his child sent an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and a cold shiver down my spine.

”So you’ve given the baby to DOM Tim, a man you know nothing about?”

”I’m not giving the baby to anyone.” I replied and stood up from the bed,

”So what are you going to do about this?” Sonia asked,

”I don’t know.” I ignored her, took out a bottle of water from the fridge and gulped everything into my mouth.

I heard my phone ringing but did not bother to pick it up because I knew it was either DOM Tim or Eric calling, and I wasn’t ready to speak with either of them.

I went back to the bed and laid on it while Sonia’s curious eyes were on me. She was angry with me, and I don’t blame her for it.

A soft knock on the door got my attention. Quickly, I stood up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom. I could hear Sonia murmuring words before she stood up from the bed and went for the door.

I could hear voices but couldn’t tell who it was.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Within a minute, I heard footsteps walking towards the direction of the bathroom,

”Come out, Kelvin is here to see you ”.

Hearing those words from Sonia, I sighed in relief and opened the door of the bathroom.

Sonia gave me an irritated look and walked away.

I took in a deep breath to calm down my nerves before opening the door of the room.

”Hey Vicky.” he smiled at me,

”Hey Kelvin, I never knew you were coming.” I tried speaking in a relaxed voice, so he wouldn’t notice my mood, but he did.

”Are you okay? You look sick.'” he asked while staring at me with curious eyes.

I realized he was trying to meet my eyes, but I quickly looked away because I noticed the color of his eyes changing,

”I’m just under the weather.” I lied and moved away from him.

He kept silent for a while before he spoke up, ”Can we go out for a cup of coffee ?” he asked with curious eyes.

I thought for a second and wanted to reject the offer, but I thought it would be good to go out and get some fresh air.

”Sure, give me a minute.” I beamed at him before closing the door.

I approached my closet, took out simple wear and kept it on the bed. ”Are you going somewhere?” Sonia asked when she saw me taking off my clothes.

”I’m going out to get some fresh air with Kelvin.”

”Is Kelvin also in the picture.” she asked while rolling her eyes at me.

”I beg your pardon.” I frantically asked, while she rolled her eyes and looked away.

I shook off the words she said to me and picked up my bag and left the house.

I got outside and met Kelvin standing in front of his car.

When I got to him, he opened the car for me to get in.

In a few minutes, we were in the coffee shop seated before each other.

”You are worried, what’s wrong.” he expressed those words like he was so sure about it.

Hearing those words from him, I smiled at him and took a sip of my coffee while looking away.

”It’s nothing.” I flashed him a weak smile, but I knew he did not believe me.

”Can I ask you a question.” I asked.

”Yeah, sure ”

I thought of a way to bring up the topic before speaking.

”Are you friends with DOM Tim.” I asked in curiosity, at least I can get little information about DOM Tim from Kelvin.

He stared at me for a while with a curious look before taking a sip of his coffee.

”We are good friends only in the club.” he murmured.

I sighed and shook my head, disappointed at his words.

”Is something wrong?”

”No, everything is fine.” I murmured nervously and looked away.

He stared at me for a while in disbelief before speaking. ”Did he do anything to you ?” he asked while holding my gaze.

”No, I’m just curious to know more about him.” I said, flashed him a weak smile, and looked away.

I noticed Kelvin murmuring words I couldn’t understand while his gaze was at the door of the coffee shop.

”Are you okay.” I asked while looking in the direction of the door.

He nodded his head to me with his gaze still fixed on the door.

I stared at the door and noticed a familiar man standing by the door while his gaze was on us.

I took a better look at him and realized he was Kelvin’s mate. He took his gaze away from Kelvin, met eyes with me and I notice the color of his eyes were changing as he walked towards us.

He got to our table, and continued glaring at me with so much anger in his eyes and he wasn’t hiding it.

”You are in the country.” he muttered those words calmly to Kelvin, but I could notice the anger in his voice.

”I came in last night, have a seat.” Kelvin took out a chair for the younger man, but he groaned angrily and sightly kicked away the chair.

”I have somewhere to go. I just perceived your scent and decided to come check if it was really you.” The young man grumbled. ”I have to go.” He stared at me with a killer look and walked away.

”He likes you.” I murmured those words as I watched him angrily walk away.

Kelvin chuckled and shook his head in disbelief before speaking, ”That can’t be true, he has already rejected me not once or twice.”

”Maybe he likes you now because I can see how jealous he was, seeing us together.”

”I wish you were right, but you are wrong Vicky, he doesn’t like me. His wolf is just controlling him.” He murmured sadly, this was the second time I saw Kelvin this sad whenever he discusses about his mate.

Not wanting to further the discussion, I nodded my head at him and took a sip of my coffee.

”You are keeping a secret from me, what’s that.” he muttered while staring into my eyes with his piercing eyes.

”Why do you think so ?” I scoffed nervously and looked away.

He stared at me with disbelief, but did not say a word.

I remember the discussion we were having before his mate came in.

”Do you know his real name ?” I asked.

”Who ?” He lowered his eyebrows, confused.

”DOM Tim.” I murmured to his hearing.

He shook his head and went into deep thought before speaking, ”It’s the rule of the club, we don’t expose each other’s identity. I’m sorry Vicky, I can’t tell who Tim is, even if I want to.” He muttered in a serious tone. Hearing those words from him, I knew I could never get any information from him, so I angrily stood up and picked up my bag.

”I need to go home, can you please take me home.”? I did not let those words leave my mouth before I left my seat and made my way to the door.

I got outside the coffee shop and was about to walk away when I heard Kelvin calling out my name. Angrily I turned in his direction.

”Let me drop you home.” he took hold of my hand and led me to the car. We both entered the car and he drove off.

”I wish I could tell you Tim’s identity, but I can’t.” he muttered those words like a plea.

I sighed softly and looked outside the window in disappointment, maybe I’ll just have to wait until next week when he promised to tell me his identity.

After a few minutes’ drive, we arrived in front of my apartment. I got out of the car and saw Eric standing by my door with a furious look on his face.

He stared at me for a while like he was trying to pierce through my soul before he moved his gaze to Kelvin.

Staring at Kelvin, I noticed the color of his eyes changing, and I knew something was wrong.

“I’ll call you later.” Kelvin whispered those words into my left ear before entering his car.

As he drove off, I stared at Eric, who stared back at me with anger as I approached my door.

Alpha Eric’s POV!

Seeing her with Kelvin, I was jealous, really jealous of the fact they were so close.

”What are you doing here.” she asked while staring at me with so much anger and hatred in her eyes.

”What were you doing with him ?” I asked, jealous, ignoring her questions.

She scoffed and clapped both her hands together before speaking, ”I have no explanation to you about what I do with my life.” she said and went for the door. I watched her open it and tried closing it against me, but I held the door and pushed myself inside the room before locking the door.

”And what is the meaning of this ?” she frantically asked.

”What were you doing with Kelvin?” I yelled out, jealous.

‘” Like I said, it’s none of your business.” she barked at me. ”Leave.” she pointed the door angrily at me.

”You are my mate and I have every right to you.” I yelled out.

“Never, I have nothing to do with you, you’ve gotten what you wanted from me, now leave.” she pointed the door angrily at me, but I did not move an inch. ”Eric.” she furiously called out my name.

Seeing her behave this way, it was obvious she really hates me now, and I wondered what she would do if she knew the truth.

“I’m your mate, we can’t separate from each other.” I declared those words and moved closer to her when her words stopped me.

”I can never be your mate Eric, I’d prefer to be with Kelvin than be with someone as heartless as you.” She yelled bitterly.

Hearing those words from her, I took hold of her and forcefully slammed her back on the wall while she exclaimed in discomfort and tried setting herself free, but my grip on her was too tight.

”What did you say?” I asked again, this time staring at her with so much anger and jealousy.

”Are you deaf, I said I would prefer to be with someone like Kelvin than to be with a heartless person like you.” she barked those words to me with no atom of fear in her.

Hearing those words from her, I noticed my wolf howling in anger and jealousy, and it took everything in me to keep my wolf at bay.

I groaned loudly and closed my eyes to control the anger in me before opening them.

I made eyes with her and noticed she was staring back at me with a terrified look. ”let me go.” she gulped nervously and tried releasing herself from my grip, but I tightened my grip on her.

I held her gaze and was about to say something when I noticed sudden goosebumps all over my body and an uncomfortable feeling Bloom in my chest.

I moved closer to her and noticed an overpowering scent in her. This scent was different from her scent. Because she smells like fresh honey, but this scent was that of honey mixed with nutmeg.

I moved closer to her neck and inhaled the scent deeply. Indeed, it was a fascinating scent and I wondered why she was having a different scent.

”Stay away from me”. She yelled in fear, but I ignored her and moved my nose away from her neck and stared directly into her eyes before speaking, ”You smell different, why?”

Hearing those words from me, I noticed her eyes widen in fear as she swallowed nervously.

”Were you with another man?” I asked, but she swallowed nervously and moved her gaze away from me.

Seeing her react this way, I knew I was right, she was with another man, different from me.

”Who is he.” I took hold of her arms and shook her angrily.

”You were with another man, I can smell him all over you, was it Kelvin?, are you sleeping with kelvin.” I demanded in anger.

”What?” she spoke angrily.

”Answer me, did you sleep with Kelvin as well, are you that cheap?” I yelled, not knowing when that left my mouth.

Just like a twinkle of an eye, I felt a hot slap on my cheek. I touched my cheek before staring at Victoria, shocked and confused.

”Get out.” she yelled in half tears.

Seeing those tears from her, I realized I had made a huge mistake and this time nothing could be done.

“I’m sorry.” I tried holding her, but she moved away from me with anger and hatred boiling in her.

”Leave before I do something that you and I will live to regret.” she muttered those words as a threat.
