REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

I smiled to myself as I drove back home. I was certain she would accept my offer. I mean, who wouldn’t accept such an offer when her aunt’s life is at stake. I knew I could have her even if I wanted to, but I just wanted her permission and total submission to me.

I got home and handed the keys to my driver,

“Why are you still awake?” I asked. “I was waiting for you, sir.” He replied. “There was no need for that.” I murmured.

“Where is Sophie’s car ?”. I asked when I did not see her car parked in the garage.

“She left immediately you left.” I nodded my head at him and walked straight to my room.

I got to my room, pulled off my clothes and took a cold bath before lying on the bed naked. I tried communicating with my wolf, but he was quiet, and I hated it.

”Two weeks, just two weeks, and after that, I will be able to control my wolf,” I murmured those words to myself and drifted to sleep.

The constant ringing of my phone woke me up from sleep. Groaning angrily, I checked the clock on my table only to see that it was past 5 am, and wonder who the hell would be calling at such an hour.

Angrily, I picked up the call without checking who the caller was.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“How dare you disturb my sleep at this time of the day.” I yelled, not minding who was on the phone.

The caller did not speak, but I knew he or she could hear me.

“Hello?” I called out, angrily,

“Eric?” A weak female voice spoke up,

“Mate!” my silent wolf howled in my head. Hearing my wolf wailing this way, I knew something was wrong.

“Victoria?” I asked, even though I knew she was the one.

“I need your help.” She mumbled in a shaky voice, and it was obvious she was crying.

“What’s the problem?” I asked with so much care in my voice, unknowingly, to me

“I think I’ve killed a man.” She murmured in tears, “The police will be coming for me. Listen, I did not do it deliberately. It was in self-defense, I swear.” she spoke quickly and in tears.

Hearing those words from her, I stood on my feet and picked up my clothes. “Where are you ?” I asked.

“Home.” She replied with a sob

“Where is the body ?” I asked,

“Laying in a corner on West Ham street.” She murmured in tears

“Calm down, and stay at home, I’m on my way.”

“Please be fast.” She pleaded.

I did not say a word, rather I ended the call and dialed a number. It rang a few times before it was picked. “Go to West Ham Street, check every corner, and take care of a dead body.” I said those words to the person on the phone. “Roger that.” He replied, while I sighed and ended the call.

This was why I never wanted a mate and especially a weak human, they are so disturbing and troublesome. She killed someone and couldn’t dispose his body or do something, yet she called me on the phone crying like a child.

I groaned and hurriedly put on my clothes. I took my car keys and was about to leave the house when I realized I was putting on the same clothes I wore at the club.

Groaning angrily, I took off the clothes and picked another one from my closet. I put it on and hurriedly left my room.

“Going somewhere alpha.” my driver asked,

“Don’t you sleep ?” I asked,

“I heard footsteps, so I woke up.” He replied

“Get some sleep.” I ordered and left the sitting room.

I went to the garage and drove out in the Toyota Ford. Throughout the drive to her place, I slammed the wheel of my car with anger and frustration. I should be in my bed sleeping, but as the moon goddess would have it, she decided to give me a weak human as a mate.

I parked in front of her flat and got out of the car. I walked to her door and knocked on it.

“Eric.” she called out from inside the house.

“Open, it’s me.” she did not let those words leave my mouth before she unlocked the door and stared at me with fear and tears in her eyes.

I walked into the room, and she quickly shut the door behind her.

“I swear I did not do it on purpose. He tried to rape me and I only did it in self-defense, I swear to you.” She muttered out in fear.

I did not pay attention to her, but the only thing that caught my attention was that he tried to rape her. “Mine!”my wolf howled in anger, and I was pretty sure she heard it, but it did not bother her.

“Will I be arrested? What will happen to my aunt? I can’t go to jail.” she moved closer to me and held my hands. “Please help me.” She begged with tears falling down her cheek.

“Weak.” I grumbled to her hearing.

She was about to say something when my phone started ringing.

“Is that the police? Did you call the police?” she asked in panic.

“Shuu”. I placed my finger on her lips, implying she should stop talking. She nodded her head and stared at me with fear-filled eyes.

I went for the phone in my pocket and picked up the call.

“Hello.”

“We found him sir, but he isn’t dead but unconscious, and we’ve taken him to the warehouse, so the doctor can attend to him.”

I hissed in relief and stared at Victoria, who was still trembling with fear. “Keep him there until I come.”

“Roger that.”

I ended the call and stared at her,

“They’ve found his body? .” She asked in fear,

“Are they coming for me?”. She asked again, scared, while I ignored her and kept the phone in my pocket.

“I swear it was in self-defense”. She murmured in tears

“Shut up okay, just shut up.” I spoke, irritated. She was acting too weakly, and it irritated me. She stopped talking, but I could see her body trembling with fear.

“He is alive.” I announced, while She stared at me with stunned eyes. “You didn’t kill him, he was just unconscious due to the hit and my men are taking care of him. But I will make sure he gets arrested for attempted rape.” I spoke firmly,

“You sent men to look for him.” she asked,

“Yes.”

“They found him, and he is not dead “. She asked again, which made me groan and said, “Yes, he is alive and taking treatment…” she did not let me complete my words before she did the unimaginable.

She rushed up to me and gave me a tight hug, while sobbing profusely on my chest.

“I’m not a killer.” she murmured in tears, but I knew she was happy.

I groaned at her attitude and was about to pull her away when I realized something.

I didn’t feel disgusted by her touch, neither did my body react when she hugged me, but rather, I felt so comfortable in her embrace.

“Shit!” I grunted.
