REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

”Relax, Vicky, you worry yourself over nothing.” Sonia said while I gave her an angry stare, but she wasn’t bothered about it, “You just mated with Eric and you should be happy about that!.” Sonia exclaimed happily.

“Do you even understand what I’m saying to you ?” I asked in anger and lay on the bed with my back, while Sonia shrugged her shoulders before speaking,”So what next ?” She asked, “What else?” I asked in anger, “Did you guys intend to see each other again ?” She asked with excitement, which made me snicker and closed my eyes before responding. ” Eric loves someone else, and I’m very aware of that.” I murmured, trying to hide the pain in my voice.

“That’s bullshit, you are his mate, and he is allowed to love only you.” Sonia expressed those words like she was so sure of it, which irritated me. “Can we stop talking about this.” I demanded, aggravated by the topic, which made Sonia glance at me with pity but did not say a word.

With a heavy sigh, I relaxed on the bed and all that happened last night came flickering in my head, which caused tears to drop on my cheek. I was basically crying for a dick head, and I hated myself for it. He doesn’t deserve my tears, he doesn’t deserve any drop of it. Taking a deep breath, I wiped the tears from my cheeks and stood to my feet.

With heavy feet, I strolled to the window and stood before it with so many thoughts in my head.

Firstly, I will never give my body ever to Eric. To hell with this ridiculous mate of a thing. Secondly, I will make Eric pay for using me and calling me a weak human. He calls me weak, but beginning from today I will show him how strong I can be. With that, I went back to bed.

“The manager called.” Sonia spoke up, “What did he say ?” I asked, “Nothing serious, he just said you should stay at home and rest.” she muttered out those words while staring at me with concern. “Very well then.” I left the bed and walked to the closet. “Are you going somewhere?” Sonia asked, while I nodded my head to her,

“Where to ?” She asked, concerned,

“I don’t know, I just need to clear my head.” I murmured and took out a dress from the closet. I changed into the dress and gazed at myself through the mirror, only to realize the mark was still there, reminding me of the silly mistake I made last night.

Groaning softly, I went back to my closet and took out a turtle-neck dress and put it on.

“Do you want me to come with you?”, Sonia asked almost like a plea, but I smiled at her and picked up my bag.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” I assured her with those words and left the apartment. As soon as I stepped outside the apartment, I took a deep breath and moved my feet, with no particular direction in my mind. I walked for a few minutes and stopped in front of a coffee shop. The coffee shops looks huge and expensive for my class, but I didn’t care, I just wanted to relax my nerves.

Without a second thought, I walked into the shop, took a seat and ordered a cup of coffee. I moved my gaze around and noticed everyone in the coffee shop were men and women of high status and standard, but I didn’t mind. Few minutes later, my coffee was brought to me. I took a sip of it and moved my gaze around, only to hold gaze with Eric.

”Shit.” I murmured and noticed he glanced at me like he was reading through me. Curiously, I moved my gaze and noticed his girlfriend was with him, she was giggling happily while talking to him, but his eyes were fixed on me.

I felt aches in my heart as I watched her cling to him, but he fixed his eyes on me and refused to look away. His girlfriend took notice of it and looked my way with an angry and irritated look. Quickly, I shifted my gaze from them and slowly took a sip of my coffee.

“You can do this.” I murmured to myself and kept on taking sips of my coffee, not minding he was a few tables away from me and his gazes were still on me.

Hastily, I finished making the coffee, stood on my feet and made my way out. I went out of the door and wanted to walk away when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

I turned and saw that it was Eric, staring at me with his two sets of green eyes that I would love so much if it was DOM Tim staring at me rather than this cold and heartless man standing in front of me. Sighing heavily, I ignored him and kept walking away. “Victoria!” He called out my name angrily and impatiently, which forced me to veer around and gave him a look filled with anger and disgust.

“Don’t you dare call my name.” I spoke with rage, while he glared at me like he was trying to pierce through my soul. “We are supposed to act like strangers, why are you here.” I yelled out, not minding we were in a public place.

Without saying a word, he stared directly into my eyes for a while, before speaking, “I just wanted to know how you were doing.” he said in a worried tone while I scoffed, and shook my head with disbelief. “You’ve gotten what you wanted, what else do you want ?” I yelled while he roughly ran his fingers through his hair and stared around. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay, that’s all.” He murmured angrily,

“Really ?” I asked, with a scoff, “You really want to know if I was okay ?” I asked and took a step closer to him. “Well, I’m not okay, I’m not fucking okay. I have to carry this bite and Mark for the rest of my life, how can I be okay.” I yelled angrily. “I’m bearing the mark of a man I despise and who hates me in return, how can I be fine, how can I be fucking okay.” I yelled with bitterness while my heart aches with pain. “Stay away from me, I beg of you…” I paused and clasped my two palms before him in a pleading manner, ”Because if you don’t, I might do what both of us will live to regret”. I said those words as a warning and walked away.

Not all humans are weak.
