REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

“And what are you doing here?” I asked as I took a few steps towards her, while she ignored me and drank everything in the glass before she scoffed and stood before me.

“Our deal, have you forgotten so soon?” she asked with a big grin on her face. “You must be very stupid.” I muttered angrily. I had just lost Victoria, and here she was asking me to have sex with her.

“Seems like you don’t want to see your son” she threatened.

I did not let those words finish from her mouth before I grabbed her by the neck and pushed her to the wall. “Don’t you dare threaten me.” I yelled as I tightened my grip on her neck.

”Where is my son?” I asked and tightened my grip. She kept hitting my shoulder while she closed her eyes in pain, but I didn’t care, all I wanted was to know the whereabouts of my son.

“Where is he?” I asked again as I felt my wolf losing control, which I knew might be risky, but I didn’t care.

I noticed she opened her eyes, which were soaked with tears, indicating she might die if I didn’t let go of her, but still, I didn’t care. I was going through so many pains, and she had the guts to threaten me. I was done, I was done playing this mouse game with her.

“Tell me where he is.” I yelled out of control and tightened my grip on her neck as I watched her struggle for breath.

“I can show you where he is.” I heard a familiar voice behind me.

Quickly, I let go of her and turned. “It flashed in my head when I saw her.” Andrew muttered. Hearing his words, I sighed in relief and moved away from her.

“Give me a minute, and put your eyes on her, she is going with us.” I declared those words and rushed upstairs to my room.

I went to my room, opened my closet and took out black jeans, a gray T-shirt, a black jacket and a pair of black boots.

I got dressed in a hurry, picked up my phone and left the room. I got downstairs and met Sophie, still trying to catch her breath. “Give her some water.” I told Andrew, who went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water and a glass.

He handed the water to her, which she quickly took with shaking hands, poured some in a glass and drank all of it. “Let’s go.” Andrew picked her up from the couch and made her follow us from behind.

I got outside and noticed not less than fifty of my inner men were spread around the compound.

”Alpha.” my beta walked up to me with a worried look.

”Don’t worry, everything is under control.” I assured him and walked towards the direction of my car.

I entered the driver’s seat, while Andrew sat beside me, and Sophie, who still hadn’t gotten herself, sat behind.

I started the car and drove off with Andrew showing the direction while Sophie was just silent. I guessed she knew she had lost her game.

From the direction of Andrew, I realized we were going towards the direction of Sophie’s house, the one I brought for her during one of her birthdays.

Andrew kept directing until we reached Sophie’s house. Quickly, I got down from the car and wondered how my son would be here when my men invaded this house a few days ago and found nothing except for a birth certificate.

”Are you sure about this?” I asked Andrew.

”I might not be able to control my abilities, but what I see is never wrong.” he replied.

I nodded my head at him and moved my gaze to Sophie, who was nervous and also tensed.

“Let’s go.” Andrew muttered and led the way, but not inside the house, rather he led us towards her garden.

I wanted to ask what we were going to do in the garden, but then I thought maybe he might be in the garden playing with his Nanny.

As we walked towards the garden I felt my heart beat rapidly and, for the first time since Victoria was taken, a small smile appeared on my face. I was going to see my son and I can’t wait to meet him.

We got to the garden and Andrew kept leading us, until something caught my eyes. I took a better look at it and realized it was a grave tomb, and I began to wonder why a grave tomb would be in Sophie’s garden.

Curiously, I moved closer to the grave tomb to take a better look when I caught sight of the write-up written on the headstone.

OLIVER ERICKSON, SON AND A FRIEND, Born on the 28th of March 2020 and died on the 19th of June 2021. Will forever live in our hearts.

I felt my heart throb in pain as I shook off the thought in my head. “What is this?” I directed those questions to Andrew, who gave me a pale look.

“No.” I yelled as I felt my breath seizing. “This is not true, tell me it’s not true.” I muttered as I grabbed Sophie by the arms.

“Where is my son?” I yelled and tightened my grip on her arms.

She gulped in fear, while I noticed her body trembled rapidly with fear. “This is a game, tell me it’s a set-up.” I pleaded as I shook her, but she shook her head as tears filled her eyes.

“He is dead, he is fucking dead.” Sophie yelled in tears.

Her words sent cold shivers all over my body as my wolf whimpered in pain, “This is not true.” I murmured to myself and collapsed before the grave and screamed in anger.

“I see you crying before a grave, and could feel the pain, even though it was just a vision.” Jackson’s words buzzed in my head, making everything clear to me.

I stared at the grave before moving my gaze to my outfit, and indeed his descriptions were right.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

I felt hot tears threatening to fall down from my eyes and I couldn’t hold them back. I shook my head in pain as I kept staring at the write-up on the grave, he was gone, and he left even before I could meet him, and it was all Sophie’s fault.

Angrily, I stood to my feet and grabbed Sophie by the neck with my left hand. “See what you’ve caused.” I yelled in anger as I tightened my grip on her. “You will kill her, please let go.” Andrew pleaded, but I totally ignored him and tightened my grip on her as I watched her gasped for air.

“She is dying.” Andrew held my hand and tried taking my grip off her, but I shoved him away with my body.

Angrily, I moved my gaze back to Sophie and noticed her eyes were becoming weak, while she weakly hit me on my chest.

“Alpha, she is dying.” Andrew yelled out to me.

I stared at her one more time and angrily let go of her. I watched her collapse on the ground as she gasped for more air.

“No!” I yelled in anger as I felt my bones breaking down, but quickly I kept my wolf at bay.

I moved my gaze to the grave and felt hot tears on my cheek, and I did not bother to wipe them off. With my heart clenching in pain, I turned and moved my gaze to Sophie, who was staring at me with fear-filled eyes.

“We made a deal,” I muttered in anger, and took more steps towards her. “You were supposed to take your medication after we had sex, but you totally ignored it and got yourself pregnant, as if that was not enough, hid the pregnancy away from me, gave birth to my child and still kept him away from me.” I barked in anger while I struggled to controlled my angry wolf.

“You let him die and came back to play games with me.” I yelled as I grabbed her and lifted her off from the ground. “Why did you do it, why did you do this to me,” I asked in pain.

“I thought you wouldn’t accept the pregnancy, I thought you would ask me to abort it.” she mumbled in fear.

“How dare you, how dare you think I will ask for my child to be killed.” I yelled as I tightened my grip on her arms. “Every sub I had sex with, I made sure I used protection on them and made sure I didn’t release my seed in them, but with you, I did that because I paid for your medications every month, but you ignored it and got yourself pregnant, as if that was not enough you kept my baby away from me.” I yelled and let go of her.

Roughly, I scattered my hair with my hands as I wished all this were just a dream. With my heart throbbing with pain, I moved my gaze to the grave and felt my wolf howling in grief.

As I glared at the grave, the images of his pictures kept flashing in my head, which hurt me the more.

“You cut off a piece of his hair and took his old toothbrush for the DNA test.” I questioned.

“Ye…s.” she replied in a stammering voice.

“How dare you?” I yelled as I turned in her direction. “How dare you bury my child without me knowing?” I wailed as I took a deep breath to calm my furious wolf.

“I was scared.” she replied while her whole body trembled in fear.

I shook my head in anger as I wiped tears from my cheeks. “How did he die?” I asked while holding her gaze.

I noticed she swallowed nervously in fear as she couldn’t meet my gaze. “Answer me.” I yelled as I controlled my anger from exploding.

“Don’t even think of lying to him.” Andrew warned angrily.

She gulped nervously as she stood up from the floor and took a few steps away from me. “I’m sorry, it was a mistake.” She begged in tears.

With her words, I realized Oliver didn’t die out of illness, but it had something to do with Sophie.

“What did you do to my son?” I questioned, took a few steps towards her.

She bites her lips in fear while tears gushed down her cheeks. “It was a mistake, I swear I never wanted it to happen, he was my child and I loved him like every mother would.” She whimpered in pain.

Seeing her in such a condition, softened my heart, but then I was eager to know what happened. “You still haven’t answered my question, tell me what happened to my son.” I ordered.

She gulped nervously, sucked a deep breath before she spoke up. “He was playing on the floor in my room, the day we came back to California.” she whispered in fear.

“And,” I asked impatiently.

She bites her upper lip and hesitated for a while before she continued, ”I left him playing on the floor with his toys and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, but when I came back, I saw him….” She paused and stared at me with fear-filled eyes.

“What happened?” I asked as I marched forward to her.

She gulped and wiped off tears on her cheek. “When I came back I saw him, standing beside my dressing table, but I noticed something else.” She mumbled in fear.

“What did you notice?” I questioned angrily.

I watched her suck a deep breath and hesitated for a while before she spoke up, “His mouth was filled with drugs, while some were scattered on the floor. I rushed to him and made him take them out of his mouth, but it was too late, he had already swallowed some tablets. I swear I did all I could, and rushed him to the hospital, but he didn’t make it, he died before the doctor could attend to him.” she whispered those words to herself, but I could clearly hear her.

Hearing her words, I felt my body become numb, and I didn’t know what to do or say.

“I’m sorry, it was a mistake. I left him on the floor playing with his toys, I didn’t know he would go over to my table.” She explained in fear.

My heart clenched in pain as the thought of my child dying of overdose buzzed in my head.

But there was something odd about her words. If what she explained was true, then why did he die so quickly? “What kind of drugs did he swallow?” I asked, holding her gaze.

The moment I said those words, I saw her gulp in fear and couldn’t meet my gaze.

“Tell me what I’m thinking isn’t true.” I asked, but she shook her head in fear. “You kept hard drugs close to a little baby.” I yelled as a different type of anger enveloped my body.

“It was a mistake. I didn’t mean for it to happen.” she begged.

“My son didn’t die, but you killed him.” I yelled furiously.
