REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

“Where is he”. I murmured to myself.

I searched all the bar stands and asked for his whereabouts, but no one knew where he was. If only I knew things would work out this way, I would have already called a taxi. Groaning angrily, I checked the time and noticed it was almost 2am, and yet, I couldn’t find DOM Eli.

I grumbled in regret and made my way to the exit door. I got to the exit and realized I hadn’t asked the bouncers and security guys yet. I walked to one and waved my hand awkwardly at him. “Sorry, have you seen DOM Eli around ?” I asked,

The bouncer stared at me for a while like he was trying to read through me before he spoke up. “DOM Eli went home a long time ago.” he replied firmly.

“Thank you”. I hissed in anger and walked away. “Who do these doms think there are”. I murmured angrily to myself. It’s past 2am, how do I get a taxi. I went for my phone in my pocket and realized I had forgotten it back at home. “Shit”. I grumbled, frustrated.

I stood outside the club and thought for a while and decided to walk home, since it was not too far from here. I grunted in anger and was about to walk away when I bumped into someone.

“Ohh.” I exclaimed in pain and rubbed my forehead before raising my head. “Watch where you go,” Dom Tim muttered out those words, annoyed. “I’m sorry,” I murmured and walked past him. I left the club and began making my way home. The road was empty, with just a few cars passing by. I grumbled in regret and hastened my footsteps in fear.

A few minutes into the walk, I spotted a black Toyota jeep driving behind me, which got me scared and panicked. I quickened my footsteps and kept murmuring prayers as I increased my pace. I noticed the car increased its speed and packed beside me, which made my heart beat increase, and my hands were trembling in fear.

“You are terrified, yet you walk alone at this time of the night”. I heard a familiar voice coming from the car. Quickly, I turned and realized it was DOM Tim, which made me heave a sigh of relief and closed my eyes to take in a deep breath.

“Thank goodness”. I murmured and opened my eyes before staring at him. “Hi”. I waved my hand at him.

He ignored me and looked away.

“Why are you here? I thought DOM Eli was giving you a ride back home.” “That was what I thought, but he has left already.” I murmured.

He groaned and thought for a moment, “Get into the car, I’ll drop you off.” He expressed those words like he wasn’t happy with his decision.

I glared at him and wondered if I should really go in. “Are you sure?” I asked, which made him groan in irritation and stared at me with anger-filled eyes. “Don’t make me repeat myself.” He said those words as an order.

Quickly, I went over to the other side of the car and got in. Our gazes met, but I nervously looked away. “Where to ?” He asked.

I gave him the direction to my place while avoiding his gaze.

He groaned, irritated, which made me wonder what was getting him so irritated.

“Put on your seatbelt,” he demanded. “That won’t be necessary. I’m almost home.” I responded, ”Suit yourself.” He said those words and drove off.

The moment he drove off, I cursed myself for not accepting his offer to put on the seat belt. He drove as if he was in a car race and didn’t care someone was in the car with him.

“Please slow down”. I begged in fear, but he ignored me and increased his speed before he stopped in front of our apartment. I closed my eyes and could hear my heartbeat pounding and my body trembling in fear. With my eyes closed, the memory of what happened few years ago flashed in my head and I began having a panic attack right there in the car.

“Hey.” I heard his voice calling out to me, but I couldn’t respond. “Shit!” he blurted out in anger and went out of the car. He got to my side of the car and quickly opened the door. He left the door open for air to get inside the car, while he stood there murmuring words I couldn’t understand.

After a few minutes, I took in a deep breath and noticed it was all over, which made me exclaim in relief and open my eyes. I stared around and noticed DOM Tim’s eyes on me, but this time his eyes held no anger. “I apologize for causing you this trouble.” I murmured and got out of the car.

“I told you to use the seat belt, didn’t I?” He asked in annoyance. “You are the one to be blamed. How can you drive at such high speed, do you want to kill me?” I asked in anger.

“Kill you ?” He scoffed angrily. “I wish I could kill you.” he added with annoyance. I held his gaze and realized he really meant those words, which made my body shiver in fear.

“Thanks for the ride,” I murmured and hurried to my flat door, opened it and got in. The moment I entered the apartment, I collapsed on the bed and controlled my nerves because I hadn’t recovered from what happened few minutes ago.

Tiredly, I stood up from the bed, and took out a bottle of water from the fridge and emptied the bottle in my mouth. I went back to bed and was about lying down when a knock came on my door. I wasn’t expecting anyone at a time like this, and I find it strange. Curiously, I went to the door, peeped through the hole and noticed it was DOM Tim, which made me breathe in relief and opened the door.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
