I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

I know I shouldn’t care if the child isn’t mine , but I do .

I don’t even know the laws of this situation , should the alpha’s kid be with the dad where they are the heir of the pack ?

What if it is Regan’ kid ?

What if she wants to tell him it’s his when it is ?

Oh goddess , please don’t do this to me .

I love Eleia , but I hate Regan , every fibre of my body hates Regan Night , how could I love his child ?

He killed my sister .

‘You can’t love another man’s child , especially not the one who killed our sister .’ Jamesy growls and I agree a hundred percent with him , but how do I tell Eleia that ?

‘We can’t .’ Jamesy sighs , leaving me feeling guilty .

How would I just act ? I can’t even pretend to love that kid if it’s mine…

‘Just tolerate it .’ Jamesy shrugs and I nod , feeling like I can’t do anything else except wait .

Eleia has been sleeping the entire afternoon and it’s almost time for dinner .

I roll my head forward before looking at her laying on the bed , crawled up under a blanket , fidgeting in her sleep .

She’s absolutely amazing , but I did not sign up to take care of another man’s child .

She would have to give him up if she loves me , she would have to send him to Regan , but then again , he too won’t live that long .

I slowly stand up and walk over to the bed , glancing down at my sleeping mate before I crawl onto the soft mattress , leaving over her from behind and I place a k**s on her cheek , smiling as her shoulders raise .

Even in her sleep she’s adorable .

“It’s almost dinner time .” I whisper into her ear , my lips brushing against the shell of her ear ever so lightly , msking her roll onto her back and she g****s .

She frowns , deep lines forming on her forehead as her eyes screw shut tightly before they flick open , exposing her beautiful forest orbs .

“Hi .” I smile down at her and the edge of her l*p slightly curls up into a smile .

“Hi .” She yawns before sitting up and I can’t help but stare at her belly as she stretches her arms above her head , exposing her stomach .

I could feel her gaze on me , but I can’t seem to drag my eyes away from where the baby is growing inside of her .

Her arms lower , her one hand on my shoulder and when her shirt falls back down over her skin , I look up at her with guilt creeping up my spine , ruining every thought I have .

I want this child to be mine , but it’s a very slim chance because she’s barely been here three weeks .

“It’s okay .” She mutters and I notice her forced smile , “What do you mean?” I try to act oblivious , smiling to throw her off .

“You don’t have to be happy .” She lets her hand slide from my shoulder , down my bicep to my hand that’s flat against the bed .

“I wouldn’t be happy either if I were you .” Her smile fades as her thumb rubs over the top of my hand before the climbs off the bed and heads to the bathroom , leaving me feeling like the a*s I am while being frozen standing on my hands and knees .

I get off the bed , dragging a hand through my hair before shoving my freezing hands into my pockets , walking to the bathroom door , “I’m just heading downstairs , meet you there .” I bellow through the shut door , but she doesn’t reply .

“Did you hear me ?” I ask , knocking .Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Yes .” She answers and I stare at the door before turning on my heel and I walk out of the room , down the stairs , ignoring Stefan as he calls out to me .

Rosie stands at the bottom of the stairs , eyes wide , but I barely acknowledge her looking at me .

“Aiden .” She calls out to me and I feel like a ghost as I turn and look at her , “What’s going on ?” She asks , “It’s none of your business .” I blurt out angrily before grabbing my coat and I leave the house , slamming the door behind me .

The cool air hits my heated skin like a slap , everything stinging as it begins to freeze , the snow is now past my ankles , halfway up my shaft , “Fucksakes .” I mutter m letting my head lol back as my eyes fall shut and I feel the small snowflakes falling onto my face , it’s like cold k****s all over .

I hear the door behind me and I let my head lower before stomping to the side of the house , almost lifting my knees past my ears as I struggle through the snow .

“What is going on with you ?” Stefan’ voice sounds so chirpy , so happy and joyful and all I feel is jealousy and anger .

I grab the shovel around the corner , turning to look at him with a blank expression .

“Nothing , I just want to clear the path a bit .” I shrug , lying effortlessly and he hums .

I hate it when he hums , it’s full of sarcasm and cockiness .

“So is what Rosie said true ?” He asks as if it were his problem .

“Yes .” I grit out as I start to shovel snow to the side .

It has never snowed this much in such a short time .

“Did you take a test ?” He asks as if it wasn’t the first thing I wanted to do .

“Yes .” I sigh , feeling more irked by the second .

“When will it be ready ?” The amount of questions he’s asking is making me want to hit him with this shovel so bad .

I grip the shovel in my hands tightly , “Two days .” I seethe and he laughs like everything I just said and what’s happening to me is such a joke .

I put all of the negative and angry energy into shovelling , making a clear path .

“I’m sorry man , but it’s just , Regan has twisted his life into yours one to many times , what are you going to do when the baby is his ?” He asks and I freeze , still not knowing the answer to that question .

“I don’t know .” I continue , hating that I don’t know what to do .

I always know what to do , I always know what to think and plan , but this is my mate , this will be her child too and I already told her that I’d love the kid no matter who’s it is because it’s her kid .

But I know I’m going to hate it when it’s his .

“Are we ever going to kill him ?” He asks as if he wanted to do it right now .

“Someday .” I shrug , after the attack , I had patrols up around the land doubled , afraid that Regan might retaliate , but he has yet to come here and fight me , but I know he’ll come , he always does .

It kind of feels like a traditional thing that happens every year now , but when the one makes their pack stronger , so does the other .

“I think it should be soon , who cares if he’s the father ? This doesn’t affect the child . It’s innocent .” Stefan mutters and I’m frozen in spot before I turn to look at him dumbfounded .

“What ?” I scoff , shaking my head at him .

Did he honestly just say that ?

“Did you not understand ?” He c***s his head at me .

“I heard you .” My lips are parted as I stare at him with narrowed eyes , “Then what’s the problem ?” He leans against the front door and I hope that it opens and he falls flat on his a*s .

“I just can’t believe that you said that .” I shake my head .

“Are you seriously mad about that kid ?” He points to the door behind him , kicking off from it , “We kill Regan and his pack and that kid doesn’t need to know that he isn’t yours .” He explains , but all I hear is Regan’s kid .

“Regan killed my sister !” I bellow , a low growl escaping my lips and Stefan stands with his arms crosses over his chest , shaking his head at me as if I’m the problem .

I am not the problem here , Regan and his c**k is .

If he knew that he did not want her , he should have told her right away , he shouldn’t have shoved himself inside of her and strung her along .

“I know that !” Stefan seethes , “When I was a kid , I was obsessed with her Aiden , I think she might have been my mate.” He grits out in a whisper and I hate to admit it , but I always thought that too .

They were always playing , he always looked out for her , he cared when my sister and I fought and even though he was my best friend , he checked up on her first .

“Me too .” I scoff , crossing my arms and hurt flashes through his eyes .

“And the fact that all these years I had hoped that she was just lost and not dead … it gave me hope and when Rosie showed up , I knew she was dead .” He gulps , looking on the verge of a breakdown .

“Of course she is Stefan . I can’t even mind link with her .” The back of my eyes sting and he uses the top of his hand to wipe his nose as he nods , his eyes slightly red .

“Just …let’s go in and eat , alright ?” I force a smile as we head inside .
