REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POVNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

With dumbfounded eyes, I scanned through her profile and was shocked when I read she was born in Australia, and has a younger sister and an older brother. This was strange, really strange.

As I read through her file, I marveled that she was able to change her identity so easily, and why would she change her identity so suddenly.

”Is she the one?” he asked,

”Yes.” I replied while taking note of her home address.

”Did she offend you or wrong you?” he asked with curious eyes.

”No.” I shook my head.

”We had a little fight and I have been looking for her, and thanks to you, I’m able to find her.” I said and brought forth my hand for a handshake.

”Thank you.”

”It’s my pleasure, let me see you out.” he led the way out of his office until we got to the bar stand.

”Thanks.” I flashed him a grateful smile before leaving for the car.

Hurriedly, I went to my car, got inside and drove off.

I felt my heart racing with excitement as I drove as fast as I could to her home address. I just can’t wait to see Victoria again after two years of torture.

Happily, I increased the speed of the car as I felt my heart pounding with joy, but then I felt a glimpse of fear in me.

I was scared of what her reaction would be if she saw me again. I knew Victoria hated me, I knew she hated me as Eric, and I needed to clear things up with her.

After a twenty-minute drive and by the help of a map on my phone, I arrived at her address. To my surprise, the house was huge, not just a house, but a Mansion. There was a small gate at the entrance of the building, which was locked.

I shook my head in disbelief as I wondered how Victoria could be living in such a house. If this wasn’t her home, then who the hell was she living with.

I felt a bit jealous and restless as the thought of her staying with a man buzzed in my thoughts, but I shook it off and went out of the car.

I walked towards the gate and knocked softly on it and a few minutes later, a man came out of the house and made his way to the gate. The moment he got to the gate, he quickly lowered his head to me.

”Alpha Eric?”

”Yes, you know me?” I asked.

”Of course, which werewolf wouldn’t know you.” he lowered his head and opened the gate for me.

”He never told me you were coming.” hearing those words from him, I realized Victoria was living with a man who happened to know me, but who the hell was he.

”Where is Annabel?” I asked,

”They all went to the hospital, but will be back soon…” ”Oh, they are here.” He hurried to the gate and opened it.

Curiously, I stared at the car driving into the compound and noticed the driver wanted to drive into the garage, but stopped immediately he or she noticed me.

Without a second thought, I walked slowly to the car while I noticed there were two body figures in the car, and they were not moving.

I stood by the door of the car and tried peeking inside, but the glass was tinted, and I couldn’t see whoever was inside.

”Mate.” my wolf howled with excitement,

”Victoria!” I muttered out excitedly and knocked on the window of the door in panic.

Victoria was inside the car and I wondered who was also in the car with her.

”Victoria, I know you are inside the car, please come out.” I begged as I kept knocking on the window of the car.

A click sounded on the door, and slowly I moved away as I noticed the car was unlocked.

Out of panic, I sucked in a deep breath and shut my eyes in order to compose my overly excited wolf who was trying to take control of me. After a few seconds of composing my wolf, I quickly opened my eyes and saw Victoria standing just a few inches away from me with folded arms.

”Mine.” I muttered out alongside my wolf. She was just the same old Victoria, but this time there was something different in her eyes, and it scared me.

”What are you doing here.” she asked in anger, but I totally ignored her and pulled her to myself.

She struggled in my arms, but I was too strong for her.

”Let go of me.” she yelled and hit my chest, but I felt nothing.

I was happy, really happy that I was able to hold her again in my arms after all the pain I went through when I thought I had lost her.

”Let me go.” She screamed in anger and kept hitting my chest, but I totally ignored her and tightened my grip on her.

”I miss you so much.” I murmured those words to her hearing and softly kissed her forehead before letting go of her.

”Damn you.” she yelled and slapped me heavily on the cheek. ”How dare you touch me.” she cried out in anger.

I took a deep breath and gently massaged my face. This was nothing compared to the pain I felt when I thought I had lost her.

”What are you doing here?” she asked again while I roughly ran my fingers through my hair as I thought of what to say to her.

”Eric, have you lost your tongue or should I say DOM Tim.” she yelled in anger.

”Allow me explain everything to you.” I tried moving closer to her, but she took a step backward.

”Stay away from me, don’t you dare come any closer.” she warned while pointing a finger at me.

”Listen, I wanted to tell you everything after my trip from China, but you were gone before I came back…” ”Lies.” she cut me off. ”’You liar, how much fun did you have playing with my emotions.” she yelled with anger and hate.

”You hated me as Eric and wanted to be with me as DOM Tim, nice play.” she clapped her both hands at me with bitterness. ”Bravo, I must say, you did a fantastic job.

”That’s not true. I never played with your feelings, Vicky. I thought I hated you, but the more I came closer to you, the more I realized I love you, but I couldn’t bring myself to say that to you.” I tried explaining, hoping she would believe me, but the looks in her eyes meant one thing, she will never believe me.

Victoria’s POV

I clapped my hands and scoffed loudly at his words.

”Did you just say you love me.” I asked in a mocking tone while he shook his head and tried moving closer to me, but I stopped him with my hand. ”Stay back.” I ordered.

He stared at me with those two sets of green eyes that always bring shivers to my body, before speaking up, ”Let’s sit and let me explain…” he tried speaking, but I cut him off.

”There is nothing to talk about Eric, you and I are done, there is nothing between us.” I declared firmly.

”That’s not true Vicky, you are my mate, and we are bonded to each other.” he spoke in a soft calm voice and I wondered what was going through Eric’s head, he was indeed different from the Eric whose hatred towards me could be seen all over him.

”Give me a chance and I will make everything right.” He pleaded. Hearing those words from him, I felt my body melt at his words, but quickly I shook them off. I can’t let his words get through me, I hate him and will always hate him.

”You are saying this because of your wolf and your selfish desires, you have no feelings, someone like you will never love someone like me.” I stated firmly.

”That was what I thought, but I was proven wrong the moment I fell in love with you.” He responded quickly. The way he expressed those words, one would think he meant everything he said, but I knew this was a trick from him.

”Leave me alone, Eric, I left everything behind just to run away from you and yet, you won’t let me be.” I yelled in anger and tried moving away, but he hurried to me, gripped my arms and pulled me to himself.

”Let go of her.” I heard Elliot’s angry yell from behind.

”Shit!’ I turned around and stared at him with stunned eyes. We agreed that he would stay in the car until I settled things with Eric, but I was shocked when I saw him walking towards our direction with an angry look.

”Let her go.” he yelled in anger and forcefully pulled me away from Eric’s grip.

”Are you okay.” he asked while staring at me with concern, but before I could respond, Eric yanked him away from me by the collar.

”What are you doing with her?” he yelled in anger and jealousy.

”Calm down and get your hands off me.” Elliot spoke angrily and tried taking Eric’s grip away from him, but it was too tight for him.

”How dare you take what is mine.” Eric yelled in anger and pushed Elliot away.

I stared with terrified eyes as I watched him shift into his big black wolf right in front of me while his clothes were torn to pieces.

I heard a loud howl, turned around and noticed Elliot shifting to a big wine-colored wolf behind me.

”Stop!” I yelled and felt fear run down my spine as I watched them attack each other with so much strength that the ground shook under my foot. ”Stop.” I pleaded, but no one listened to me.

“Stop.” I yelled at the top of my voice as I watched them bounce on each other.

I felt my head spinning around as I watched two big wolves fighting before me. Two wolves shifting before me was something I could handle, but then fighting before me was something I couldn’t take.

“Stop.” I begged, as I could no longer look in their direction. With fear, I felt my heartbeat increase as I heard a loud growl coming from behind me, but I was unable to look any further.

With fear, I placed my hands on my head when I felt it spinning around, the loud howl and vibration of the ground was too much for me and I couldn’t take it.

Slowly, I turned around and saw Elliot’s big wined wolf on the floor and Eric’s big black wolf was on top of it trying to bounce on it, but Elliot Wolf was fast but not as fast enough to avoid Eric’s hit.

“Eric, stop.” I yelled in fear as I watched Eric’s wolf on Elliot’s wolf throwing fists at him, and I noticed Elliot’s wolf was becoming weak.

“Eric.” I yelled in fear as I ran to the two big wolves on the floor and out of stupidity and fear, I ran into the fight and that was when everything spun around.

I felt a hard, painful hit on my head, and before I could process what was happening, I was flung away. With my eyes slightly closed, I heard a whimpering sound behind me, but the pain in my head was so unbearable that I realized I was losing consciousness. I tried staying awake, but before I knew it, I fell unconscious.

Alpha Eric’s POV

I felt my anger overwhelming my wolf at the thought of Elliot touching his mate. My wolf pushed Elliot’s wolf on the floor and with ease, he jumped on it and began throwing fists at him. I tried controlling the anger in my wolf, but it was not mine to control. My wolf hit Elliot’s wolf with anger and jealousy that I couldn’t control him, no matter how hard I tried. I noticed Elliot’s wolf stopped attacking me, and before I knew why he stopped fighting, I had already hit Victoria heavily on the head and threw her away from me. “Mine.” my wolf whimpered in pain as I watched Victoria falling on the floor.

Quickly, I touched her, but noticed her eyes closing gradually before me. With panic, I collapsed on the floor and howled in anger and pain as I shifted back to my human form, naked. I took her in my arms while on the floor and tried waking her up, but then I noticed her pool of blood on the floor.

“Shit.” I yelled in pain and stood up from the floor. I scrambled to my car, went to my boot and took out a long pants and a shirt and hurriedly put them on. I ran back to Victoria and noticed Elliot had shifted to his human form and was shaking her, trying to wake her up.

“Let her go.” I yelled in anger and took Victoria away from his arms. I rushed to my car, placed her on the back seat, rushed to the driver’s seat, got into the car and drove off.

I felt my hand shaking on the steering of the car as I drove at high speed to a nearby hospital, and luckily, there was a hospital nearby.

I parked the car and hurriedly got out of the car. With fear, I rushed to the back seat, and took her out of the car while calling out for a nurse.

Hearing my yell, Two nurses rushed out with a bed. Quickly, I placed her on the bed and rushed in with them, but I wasn’t allowed into the emergency room.

I groaned angrily at myself and punched the wall, while doctors and nurses kept staring at me with startled eyes.

I stared at my hands and noticed they were stained with Victoria’s blood.

I yelled angrily at myself when I realized all this was all my fault. If only I had been able to control my angry wolf, then maybe I would have noticed her just the way Elliot did.

I roughly ran my fingers through my head as I walked aimlessly in fear as the thought of something bad happening to Victoria buzzed in my head.

“You are a big fool, who only allows his anger to control him.” I heard Elliot’s angry voice behind me.

Angrily, I walked up to him and wanted to throw punches at him, but I just couldn’t. Victoria was in that room fighting for her life just because of my anger and carelessness, and here I was, about starting another fight.

We both stared at each other with anger, but didn’t say a word or make a move.

After a moment of silence, Elliot sat on the chair in deep thoughts while I walked around aimlessly as I kept staring at the door while murmuring a silent prayer to the moon goddess.

We waited for more than an hour before the door opened, and the doctor walked out.

“How is she?” I asked in panic,

The doctor took a deep breath and shook his head before speaking up, “What caused the hit on her head?” The doctor asked.

His question made fear run through my body, not because I was scared of him finding out I did it to her, but because of the look on his face.” What is wrong with her?” I asked in fear.

The doctor shook his head and stared at Elliot and me with curious eyes before speaking up. “The hit on her head was a severe one, very hard, that I think they might be some complications.” the doctor murmured to himself, but I could clearly hear him. “Complications, how, why.” I asked in panic as I felt my hands trembling in fear. “We have to wait until she wakes up to run some test on her, but until then, we need to let the medication work on her.” the doctor explained.

His words made me release a heavy sigh of regret and collapse on the chair. “You can go see her now, but make sure not to wake her up, she needs to wake up on her own.” he advised, while I nodded my head but did not say a word.

The doctor left, but I couldn’t get up from my seat. It felt like my body was numb and out of life. How could I be so careless not to notice her, even when Elliot did. I have never hit a human in my wolf form and other wolves like me take days to heal from my hit, then how could a fragile human like Victoria heal from this?
