REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

“Here is some cash, you can have it.” I handed a wrap of dollars to her, which she took, but hesitated to leave. “Is there a problem,” I asked. She bites her lower lip before speaking, “Don’t you want me to please you?” she asked in a low submissive voice, which made me groan and said, “Don’t worry, you can just leave with the money.” “But I can please you master, I promise I won’t say my safe word.” She pleaded, while I sighed and roughly ran my fingers through my hair. “The problem is not you, I’m just not in the mood.” I said those words and walked away.

I left the playroom and went to the bar. I ordered a glass of red wine, which I emptied with one gulp. I knew I couldn’t have sex with anyone, not until I had claimed her and marked her as mine. I was still in thought when my phone began ringing. I went for it and realized it was Jude.

“Good day alpha.” He greeted me as soon as I picked up the call.

“Good day Jude, what did you find out.” I asked impatiently.

“She needs a huge amount of cash.”

“Huge amount of cash?” I asked

“Yes, alpha.” He replied,

“And how much is that?”

“50 thousand dollars, sir.”

“What does she need it for,” I asked, curious.

“For her aunt’s medical bills.” He responded.

“Alright, that will be all for now”. I said and ended the call. I kept back my phone and smiled widely at myself when an idea came to my mind.

I filled up my glass, took a sip of my drink and felt relaxed. She needs money and I need her. Everything is solved. I paid the bartender and left the club hurriedly. I got home and saw Sophie in my sitting room seated on the couch waiting for me.

“You are here.” I grumbled and sat on the couch opposite her. “Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you,” she said those words and stood on her feet. I watched her seductively stroll up to me and sat on my lap with her legs on each side of my legs.

“I miss you.” she murmured, ”I’ve been busy lately”. I murmured, while she grumbled but did not say a word.

“Get up, I have to go somewhere.” I gently pulled her up from me as I stood on my feet.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Eric!” she called out to me, but I ignored her and went to my room. I was fighting with my wolf and the full moon was around the corner. I needed to do something really fast before my wolf gets out of control. Sighing heavily, I took off my clothes and changed into something different and casual. I checked the time and saw that it was past 1 am. I left my room and saw Sophie was still in the sitting room.

“Are you going out?” She asked while staring at me with curiosity. “Yes, I have to go somewhere.” I murmured and was about to walk away when her words stopped me.

“Are you avoiding me because you’ve found your mate.” she asked with grief in her voice. Hearing those words from her, I roughly ran my fingers through my hair and turned around to face her,

“Who told you that?” I asked,

“That doesn’t matter. Are you treating me this way because you’ve found her.” She asked as tears clouded her eyes. “Yes.” I replied, totally ignoring her eyes.

“But why? I thought you loved me, and you could make me your mate and even get married to me.” she asked with tears streaming down her face. Sighing heavily, I took a few steps closer to her and gently cupped her cheeks, while she closed her eyes and signed softly, before opening them. “I’m not leaving you for anyone, okay?” I assured her, but could still see she was doubting me.

“Listen.” I lifted her face to me so that I could look straight into her eyes. “I give you my word, I’m doing this because of my father and also for my wolf. I don’t like this girl one bit. She is not my type and after mating, I will have nothing to do with her.” I expressed those words as a promise, which lightened up her face. “I trust you.” She whispered, while I nodded my head and moved away from her.

“I’ll have to go out now, make yourself comfortable.” I said out those words and left the sitting room.

I went to the garage and decided to drive the Toyota Ford. I got into the car and drove off. In a few minutes, I was in front of Victoria’s flat. I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I strolled to her door and gently knocked on it. I knocked a few times before I heard footsteps coming from inside the flat.

“Who is there?” She asked, frightened

“Eric.” I murmured, irritated.

She was silent for a while before she opened the door.

“What do you want ?” She asked, annoyed at my presence, while one of her hands was placed on the door, and the other on her waist.

“At least let me in.” I muttered in anger,

“Why should I?, who comes to someone’s house at such an odd hour,” She asked, putting up a tough attitude, but I knew she was scared.

I moved closer to her and watched her move away from me. Out of impulse, I pulled her to myself and stared into her two sets of brown eyes.

“What are you doing.” she asked with a trembling voice. Ignoring her, I pulled her closer to me so that I could inhale her fascinating scent.

“Stay away from me.” she pushed me away, while I groaned at my action, disappointed in myself. “Can you let me in.” I asked politely, “Sorry, I can’t do that. It’s late, and I don’t let strangers into my home.” She spoke firmly while avoiding my gaze.

I scoffed at her words and our gaze met, but she quickly averted her gaze from me. “Let me in, or I will be forced to make you do that.” I expressed those words as a threat.
