REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

I slammed the steering with anger before resting my head on it.

How did I let myself get into this mess, how did all this happens without me knowing, how did I allow myself fall in love with a woman I was supposed to hate.

”Gosh!” I closed my eyes and could still see the anger and hatred she had for me in her eyes. Those were the things I wanted, and now she is playing by my rules.

I started the car and drove back home while the thought of Victoria came buzzing in my head. She has panic disorder and I didn’t know, I didn’t even know a thing about her and, yet she was my mate.

Few minutes later, I drove into my garage and saw my housekeeper standing by the gate with his curious eyes on me.

“Welcome sir.” He greeted while he lowered his head in respect.

I nodded my head but did not say a word, “Are you okay sir?” He asked with concern in his voice. “Yes, don’t worry about it.” I flashed him a weak smile before handing the keys over to him.

“Sir.” He called for my attention.

“What is it?”

“Sophie is inside, she has been waiting for you.” He announced, while I just nodded my head and walked away.

I entered the sitting room and met my cook, arranging the table for dinner. “Welcome alpha.” He greeted.

I nodded my head at him and took the stairs to my room. I went into my room and noticed the shower was on, which indicated Sophie was probably taking her bath.

Heaving a deep breath, I sat on the bed and took off my shoes and socks before pulling off my shirt, leaving me with just my pants.

I saw Sophie walk out of the bathroom, totally naked with water dripping out from her body.

I stared at her and realized there were times seeing her nude would have turned me on, but not this time. This time I felt nothing, absolutely nothing.

“Hey.” She greeted me, but I ignored her and stood up from the bed, went to my closet and picked up a clean towel from my drawer.

“Eric.” She called out my name, and I ignored her and went inside the bathroom.

I stepped into the shower and took a quick bath. A few minutes later, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped my towel around my waist as I made my way back to the room.

When I got to the room, I noticed Sophie was only dressed in her underwear, and sat on the bed.

I ignored her, went to my drawer and took out clean underwear and put it on.

“Eric.” She called out my name, and I was forced to turn my gaze to her, but did not say a word.

“Thanks for the car.” she beamed at me while she stood up from the bed and tried getting closer to me, but I moved away from her. “Are you still mad at me?” She asked with poppy eyes which would always work on me but not anymore.

Groaning, irritated, I ignored her, sat on the couch and switched on my laptop.

She walked up to me and sat beside me with her inquisitive eyes on me. “I’ve been calling you for days, but you’ve been rejecting my calls.” She murmured like a child, which annoyed me the more.

I gazed at her with irritation before speaking, “What do you want?” I asked in a cold, harsh tone.

She shifted closer to me before responding, “I want you back, I want my Eric back.” She murmured.

I scoffed at her words, shook my head and took a deep breath before speaking, “I was never yours, I don’t belong to anyone.” I declared those words and stood up from the couch.

Ignoring her murmuring, I put on sweatpants and left the room. I got downstairs and saw dinner was already served on the table.

I walked to the dining table, took a seat and stared at the food on my plate, but I couldn’t find the appetite to eat.

Grunting tiredly, I stood up from the chair and walked out of the house.

“Should I come with you, sir?” My housekeeper inquired. “No, I’m going to the woods.” I responded while walking away.

With hasty feet, I left the house and walked into the woods filled with trees and bushes. I took off my sweatpants and started running into the woods, and within a minute, I shifted to my wolf form.

I howled in anger, pain, and frustration as I continued running in the woods for hours, until I was exhausted and decided to go back home.

I walked back to where I kept my sweatpants, shifted to my human form and put on my sweatpants before leaving the woods.

When I got back home, I noticed my housekeeper was still waiting for me, “What says the time?” I asked, “1 am, sir.” He responded while staring at me with curiosity.

“It’s late, go have some rest.” I declared those words as an order and walked away. I climbed the stairs and went straight to my room with my body dripping with sweat as I opened the door to my room.

As I stepped into the room, I noticed Sophie kneeling on the floor in a submissive way with both her hands on her laps.

I ignored her, went to the shower and took another bath before returning to the room. I got back to the room and noticed she was still kneeling there with her head lowered to the ground. “Get some sleep.” I muttered out coldly and sucked in a deep breath. “I’m not in the mood.” I declared firmly and sat on the bed.

She raised her head and stared at me with dumbfounded eyes before she moved closer to me on her knees. “Forgive me, master.” She whispered in a low seductive voice that always triggers everything in me, but not today, today I was empty and felt nothing.

“I’m not angry with you, I’m just not in the mood.” I stated firmly while I stood up from the bed and sat on the couch.

“Let me put you in the mood.” She pleaded in a low, seductive voice.

With those words from her, she stood up from the floor, lay on the bed and widely opened her legs before me. Slowly, she caressed her breast with her fingers, while she seductively put a finger in her mouth and stared at me with a seductive look.

I shook my head, stood up from the couch, and went to the mini bar in my room. I took out a bottle of whiskey and a glass before going back to the couch and caught a glimpse of Sophie still running her fingers seductively all over her body.

I poured out a drink in my glass, took a sip of it and fixed my gaze on her.

She moans loudly as I watched her insert a finger in her pussy. Slowly she stokes her finger in her pussy and added two more fingers.

She arched her head backward and continued stroking her fingers while she moaned loudly, yet I felt nothing.

She pulled out her fingers in her, stood up from the bed and knelt before me, “Punish me master, but please don’t ignore me.” She begged in a low submissive voice which made me groan in anger and frustration before standing to my feet. “Everything is not about sex, there is more to sex.” I muttered out angrily, “What else can you offer me apart from being a good submissive in bed, what else can you offer?” I asked, frustrated at myself as I drank all the whiskey in the glass.

“Get some sleep.” I muttered those words as an order and climbed on the bed.

Nothing, I felt nothing.

Victoria’s POV

I stared at him in anger as I watched him leave the room. I tried getting out from the bed, but I noticed needles were pierced in my hands.

Groaning angrily, I sat back on the bed while I tried to calm myself from the anger that was burning inside me.

Again I had another panic attack, all because of Eric’s uncontrollable anger. Even when I begged him to stop, he refused.

I stared around the room and noticed I was in a private room. I looked around and saw my purse was on the table beside me.

Hurriedly, I went for it, opened it, and was relieved when I saw my phone was inside. When I took out my phone, I saw I had few calls from Kelvin.

”Shit, he would be worried about me.” I grumbled and made a call to him. It rang a few times before it was picked.

“Vicky, where are you.” Kelvin’s worried voice spoke up the minute the call was picked.

”I’m at the hospital, but don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.” I tried assuring him, but he wasn’t convinced. “Hospital?” he asked in discomfort, “What are you doing in the hospital?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m fine now.” I assured him again, but he wouldn’t listen.

“Did Eric do anything to you, did he touch you, tell me Vicky don’t hide anything from me.” He urged in a worried tone while I just shook my head and said, “I’m fine, he did nothing to me, I just had a panic attack.” I explained.

He kept silent for a while before speaking, “Which hospital are you ?” he asked,

“Don’t worry, I’ll call you later, I have to go now.” I did not let those words finish from my mouth before I ended the call.

After ending the call, I exclaimed in relief and dialed Sonia’s number. It rang a few times before it was picked.

“Hey girlfriend.”

“Hey Sonia, I’m at the hospital.” I murmured tiredly.

“Why, what happened? Did you have another attack?” She asked worriedly.

“Yes, but I’m fine, I’ll come back home tomorrow morning.”

“Are you okay? Do you need me to do anything for you ?” she asked.

“No, I’m fine, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Alright bye.”

I ended the call and dropped the phone back on the table beside the bed.

I relaxed back on the bed and closed my eyes in anguish. With my eyes closed, I remembered all that happened few hours ago.

Eric almost killed me. Today I had the worst attack in my life, all because of Eric’s anger and hatred.

He hates me so much that he wanted to kill me, certainly.

I opened my eyes and DOM Tim’s eyes flashed in my head, thinking about him, I felt my heart pounding with excitement as I still felt his fingers caressing my body.

I love this man, I love this stranger, and I can’t deny it.

With a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing. I went for the phone and realized it was DOM Tim calling.

I stared at the phone, and wanted to ignore the call, but I couldn’t, I was still drowned to this man.

Nervously, I took a deep breath and picked up the call, “Hello.” I spoke almost like a whisper.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He kept silent for a while before he spoke up “Your voice is down, are you okay?’ He asked with so much care in his voice that I felt my heart beat increase.

“Yes, I’m fine.” I tried speaking in a firm voice, but my voice came out weak.

“Don’t lie to me, is everything okay?” He persuaded.

“Yes, I’m fine.” I tried assuring him.

He went silent for a moment before speaking, ”You left just like that, is that how you think? We had sex, and you just left like that, and you refused to pick up my calls.” He spoke with a voice full of hurt.

Hearing the tone of his voice, I realized he really cared for me and my actions might have hurt him, and I was so glad to hear those words from him, at least he doesn’t see me as a one-time sub.

“When is your shift, I want to see you.” He muttered those words in a tone that had no room for argument.

“I’m on night duty.” I responded.

“Very well then, I’ll see you tonight, take care of yourself.” he said with so much care in his voice.

“Bye.” I whispered and ended the call with a big smile on my face.

He cares for me, and even wants to see me again.

A nurse walked in and checked my vital signs before she allowed me to be discharged. I left the hospital and boarded a taxi home.

I got home, paid the taxi man and met Sonia at home.

I could see the shock and surprised look on her face when she saw me walking in. “You are back?” She exclaims in shock,

“Yeah, I have nothing to do at the hospital.” I murmured tiredly and laid on the bed with my back.

Sonia sat beside me on the bed while she stared at me with curiosity. “What happened?” She asked, still staring at me.

I took a deep breath before speaking, “Eric almost killed me.” I murmured out in anger.

“Eric?” She asked in disbelief,

“Yes, he almost killed me.” I muttered in anger.

“Why, what happened ?” She asked, still in disbelief. It was obvious she thought Eric wouldn’t hurt me.

I sat on the bed and explained everything to her while she listened quietly.

“That was it.” I concluded my explanation while standing to my feet.

“He wasn’t going to kill you, he was just jealous.” Sonia expressed those words like she was so sure of it which made me turned around and stared at her with folded arms, “Jealous?” I asked in disbelief. “Why should he be jealous.” I asked angrily.

“Listen Vicky, Eric loves you. With all you just said, it’s obvious he is into you.” She grinned at me with a mischievous smile on her face. “That’s impossible.” I spoke quickly, “Eric doesn’t love me, he just doesn’t want me to be with another man because he wants to have my body to himself all in the pretence of being his mate.” I continued angrily.

“All he wants from me is my body and nothing else.” I stated those words firmly and went for the fridge.

I took out a bottle of water from the fridge and poured some into a glass before taking a sip of it.

“When will you ever believe that this guy is so into you.” Sonia grumbled with a frown.

“Never, I will never believe that.” I declared firmly and went back to bed.

I heard my phone ringing, went for the phone and saw that it was the doctor calling. Quickly I picked up the call. “Hello”. I whispered in fear, hoping nothing was wrong with my aunt.

“Hello Vicky, how are you?”

“I’m fine, is my aunt okay ?” I asked in panic. “Yes, don’t worry about that, I’m just calling to inform you that the machine and drugs are here, and we will need you at the hospital for some paperwork.” He explained.

“Thank goodness.” I murmured to myself with a relieved smile on my face. “I’ll be there by morning.”

“Alright, we will be expecting you. Do take care of yourself.”

“Thank you.” I ended the call and dropped back the phone.

“Is everything alright?” Sonia asked,

“Yes, the machine and drugs for my aunt and I are in the hospital.” I said with a beam and lay on the bed.

I was happy, really delighted.
