REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

The continuous ringing of my phone woke me up from my sleep. I groaned angrily and reached for the phone. I picked up the call and placed it on my ear without checking who the caller was.

“Hello.” I spoke in a deep, angry voice.

“Baby, I’ve been trying to reach you throughout the night.” She grumbled.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

I sighed and opened my eyes when I realized it was Sophie on the phone.” I was asleep.” I murmured with a sleepy voice.

“Are you still asleep by this time of the day?”she asked in a surprised tone. I groaned and checked the table clock and realized it was past 1pm.

I stood on my feet and lazily walked out of my room.” I had a rough night.” I muttered out those words and took out a bottle of water from the fridge.

“Rough night?” Sophie asked, curious, while I groaned and poured the water into a glass.

“Yeah, rough night with a lot of paperwork.” I lied. I hadn’t told Sophie about the clubhouse because I wasn’t ready to batter words with her.

“Are you sure it’s just paperwork? ” She asked in disbelief. “Are you doubting me?”. I asked in an irritated tone.

“Of course not, but…” I did not let her finish her words before I cut her off, ”Drop this topic”. I spoke as an order

She kept silent for a moment before she spoke up,

“I’m sorry.” she apologized

“You should be.” I groaned and took a sip of the water.

This was one thing I loved about Sophie; always obedient and controllable, both in bed and in her life.

“I woke up this morning and couldn’t find you.” she grumbled. I groaned when I remembered I left her at dad’s place.

“I had work to finish at home and decided not to wake you up.”

“You should have.” She murmured

“Next time I will.”

“Did you see my dad when you woke up this morning?”. I asked, in curiosity. “Yeah, we had breakfast together.”

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, “Did he say anything to you? ” “No, we just discussed random topics.” She replied. I sighed in relief and walked back to my room.

“Are you having a fight with your dad?” She asked, “Not really.” I responded and pulled off my nightwear.

“I need to take my bath and be at the office, I’ll call you for dinner.”

“Okay, have a wonderful day.”

”You too.” I said those words and ended the call.

I stepped into the bathroom, turned on the warm shower, and closed my eyes to feel the warmth of the water.

“Mate!” My wolf howled angrily,

I groaned and angrily took a quick bath.

I went back to my room and dressed in a black charcoal suit and left for the sitting room.

“Good day alpha.” My driver greeted me when I stepped into the sitting room,

“You are free today, I will drive myself.” I said those words and brought forth my hand to him.

“The keys”. I asked, “But alpha, you shouldn’t be driving yourself”. He murmured those words and handed over the keys to me.

“Come tomorrow and pick me up by 7am.”

“Yes alpha.”

I nodded my head at him and made my way out of the sitting room. I got to the garage and decided to drive in the Mercedes.

In a few minutes, I parked my car in my private parking lot and walked into the office.

“Good day sir.” my workers greeted me as I walked in.

“Welcome sir”. My secretary rushed to me and walked beside me.

“What are my schedules.” I asked as he opened my office door for me.

“You have already missed two meetings, and you just have one meeting left.” he announced.

I groaned and sat on my chair, “What time do I have the last meeting? “. I inquired while switching on my computer. “4pm sir”. He replied.

Hearing those words from him, I raised my eyebrows and stared at him, “You have a meeting by 4pm for me?”. I asked, “Yes, sir…” He stammered,

“You know I will be exhausted by that time. How will I explain to you that, if it’s a casual meeting, no business meeting should exceed 3pm.” I said, annoyed.

“I’m sorry sir,.” he whispered, While I scoffed and clicked on a file.

“Cancel it.” I ordered

“Yes sir.” He said those words and rushed out of my office.

I sighed and picked up a document and was about to open it when my phone started ringing. I checked it and saw that it was from dad. “Shit”. I murmured and stared at the call until it ended.

I sighed in relief when I noticed he wasn’t calling back, and went back to the file, but I noticed a text had come on my phone.

I went for my phone on the table and unlocked it, only to see a threat from dad ordering me to pick up his call,

I groaned in frustration and kept back the phone, but then his call came in again.

I grumbled like a kid and picked up the phone,

“Hello Dad”. I muttered out. “Eric”. He yelled my name. ”Dad “. I murmured

“Because you are a powerful alpha, that doesn’t mean you are bigger than your father, Eric, I’m your father, and you should respect that.” He yelled in anger.

I hissed and roughly ran my fingers through my hair. “What do you want, dad? “. I murmured, “What I want, are you asking me such a question.” Dad asked in annoyance. I grumbled and massaged my forehead while I leaned on my chair and heard dad blabbering words I did not pay attention to.

“Eric”. He yelled out my name,

“I can hear you, dad.” I murmured in annoyance.”I have called for a meeting.” he spoke firmly.

“You did what?” I asked, angered.

“I called for a meeting, but I haven’t told them the reason for the meeting.”, he spoke calmly.

“Now listen, it’s either you go look for your mate and accept her like every responsible alpha will do, or I’ll tell everyone in the meeting the kind of alpha you are and tarnish your position of becoming the wolverine leader. It’s your choice to make.” he uttered those words as a threat and ended the call on me. ”Damn it!.” I groaned and stood on my feet.

I was in deep trouble and I knew it.
