REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

I woke up with a serious ache in my head. I had that dream again, a dream that has been tormenting me for the past three years.

I stared around and realized I was in Eric’s room. I made eyes with him and saw him staring at me with curious eyes. It was obvious he saw me having that nightmare, and it crushed me.

I left bed and went for my drugs. Luckily, I put them in my bag. I took out two tablets of it and swallowed.

“Are you okay?” I heard his voice beside me. Hearing those words from him, I felt furious. I hated he was acting as if he cared for me when I knew it was just a show for that moment.

“None of your business.” I responded with anger and saw him glance at me with anger before speaking up, “Don’t you dare talk to me in that way.” he spoke angrily.

Hearing those words from him, I felt anger run through my blood. Who does he think he is that no one could talk to him. He might be a powerful wolf and alpha for All I care, but that doesn’t give him the right to think he was high above everyone.

Angrily, I turned around and held his gaze with no atom of fear in me, “And if I do, what will you do.” I asked in rage, not minding the consequences of my actions.

Groaning angrily, he stood on his feet and moved closer to me with his gaze on me. Seeing the anger in his eyes, I gulped nervously and looked away.

“You act strong, yet you are weak.” He mocked.

Hearing those words from him, I became bitter and couldn’t control it.”You are weaker than I in every way.” I blurted out those words in anger, and like a speed of light, he rushed up to me and grabbed me by the neck.

“What did you say?” he demanded in outrage, while I put my hand on his hand attempting to take his grip off me, but I couldn’t. I felt myself running out of breath and the memories of three years ago came flashing in my head. I was about to lose it and fall unconscious when he suddenly removed his grip on me.

I coughed out in pain and tried getting in some air. I sat on the floor, holding on to my neck, while he moved away from me and stood by the window with his back to me.

“I hate it when people call me weak.” he muttered out those words in anger.

“I hate weakness and no one dares use those words on me, but today you went as far as calling me a weak man.” he groaned angrily and turned to face me. Ignoring his gaze, I held my neck and tried to calm my panting breath. I checked the time and saw that it was already past 5am, so I stood up from the floor and picked up my things, ready to leave.

“It’s already 5am, your driver can drive me back home.” I spoke, tiredly, and he gave me a quizzical look before leaving the window.

I’ll take you myself.” He murmured,

I wanted to speak against it, but I decided to let it be.

I eyed him put on his clothes and picked up his phone and car keys. He went to the door and opened it, while I followed him out of his room and went downstairs. We got downstairs and I waited for him to take out the car from the garage.

“I apologize for scaring you.” A voice spoke behind me. I turned and noticed it was the gentleman who had driven me here. I stared at him and didn’t know what to say to him. “I thought you were used to seeing us in that form.” he added.

I glanced at him and noticed the sincerity in his voice. “It’s okay.” I smiled at him and looked away,

“He is here.” The driver announced to me. I looked up and saw Eric in front of me. I smiled at the driver before making my way to the car. I got to the car and entered, making sure I avoided him and was really far away from him.

He took in a deep breath before driving off.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The drive back to my house was quiet and tense. Tiredly, I laid my head on the door of the car and thought of my life. I just slept with a cold beast who doesn’t care for me besides mating with me. It was stupid and ridiculous.

I rested on the door window, closed my eyes in pain and defeat. I was in love with another man, but I just gave my body to a cold beast.

I noticed the car stopped, and then I realized we were in front of my apartment. “My Account manager will send you the money first thing in the morning.”he spoke coldly while staring outside the window.

I eyed him with hatred and wondered What sort of man is he that he just took a woman’s pride, and thinks it’s normal not to say words of comfort to her.

With a heavy heart, I sucked in a deep breath to calm myself down and went for the car door. I unlocked the door of the car and angrily went out. I stood by the car window and stared at him with anger and pain in me. I felt so cheap and used. “I pray our path never crosses in this life or the life beyond.” I uttered those words and walked away, but something tells me I was wrong, that this was just the beginning.

When I got to the flat, I noticed Sonia was already home. I knocked on the door, and she quickly opened the door and flashed me a big welcoming smile, which I ignored and entered the flat. I flung my bag on the floor and collapsed on the bed.

“What’s wrong.” Sonia asked, and sat beside me, While I just took in a deep breath and sat on the bed,

“What happened ?” She asked,

I stared at her and didn’t know what to say.

“Did something happen?” She asked while staring at me with a worried look.

“I’m hungry.” Was all I could say.
