I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

An entire week of training to be Luna has been miraculous .

I can’t even look at a place in this house where I haven’t been bent over and it’s been a relaxing week since Stefan and Rosie have been out everyday while they’re starting to build their own little house , right next to ours .

Rosie did walk into the house while Aiden had me bent over the couch , but she just turned and walked out again .

He makes me feel alive in a way I never thought I would feel .

Next week is the end of the month and I have been put in charge to throw a party for the pack , but since this is my first time , I still ask Aiden before I make the final arrangements , I don’t want to mess anything up .

He’s been patient with me , he’s been kind and calm even if I could tell that he was annoyed or pissed even .

I’m using his office until Stefan moves out into their own home , then I’m taking his office .

While I have been planning this party and learning to be Luna , I also had to choose out colours for what I wanted my office painted and how I want it to be decorated .

I feel like a designer and it’s been a blast .

Aiden barges into the room , staring at me with sorrow filled eyes .

“What’s wrong ?” I ask concerned and his shaky hand lets go of the door before slamming it shut with his built up anger .

“A mother just died giving birth , something about b***d loss that they didn’t pick up and her body healed too slowly to save her because she was too tired .” He rakes a hand through his hair and my eyes widen at the news .

I raise to my feet before rounding his desk and I hug him .

“What can I do ?” I ask , looking up at him .

He shakes his head , “I haven’t trained you , I’ll handle it .” He bares his teeth , his jaw tense .

I hold his hand , “Let me , I can do it .” I smile and he shrugs , “Well the dad is freaking out and I don’t know , I don’t even know what to do .” He sighs , raking his hand through his raven hair , making a mess of the perfectly combed hair .

“Let me hadle this , I can do it . Where does he live ?” I ask and his baby blues flick between mine .

“He’s still at the hospital , so is the child , but he lives at house thirty . Each one has a number .” He shrugs , looking around like he might find an answer on the wall .

“Okay .” I nod , “I got this .” I smile , squeezing his hand .

I let go of his hand before walking to the door and he grabs my wrist , turning me to face him , “Where are you going ?” He asks , “To his home , then his neighbour and then to the hospital .” I stand tall and he frowns in confusion .

“I’m checking what they have , getting what they don’t , talking to the neighbours to see if they could foster until his heart and mind heals and then he can slowly ease into the baby’s life and if he doesn’t want to let go of the child , I’ll find someone who can help him , like a nanny .” I shrug and a proud smile crosses his face .

“You’re wonderful .” He breathes out in awe and I blush , closing the distance between us before kissing him .

“You are welcome to join if you like .” I shrug and he nods , following me silently .

It feels like this is the first time it has happened , but I don’t want to pry , I could tell that this was hitting him hard .

He knows these people where I am only getting to learn who they are .

“Are you alright ?” I ask , our hands swinging between us as we walk to the man’s home and he nods , not saying a word , so I stop to try and force a conversation .

We find the house and he opens the door , it’s beautiful inside , only one floor , three bedrooms , two bathrooms , a big kitchen for such a small home and a living room .

We walk around and it feels like I’m breaking an entry , but I’m only here for work .

I find the nursery , well the planned one , the walls are painted blue and I know it’s a boy with all the clothes and toys everywhere .

Nothing has been finished except for the paint , the crib is hardly built and I sigh , “Can you get someone to come finish this ? This man needs help .” I ask Aiden and he nods before his eyes cloud over .

I start to mentally make a list of things he needs like baby milk , diapers , wet wipes and cream , a ton of it and a few more clothes before Aiden and I make our way to the store and when we come back to his home with everything , we pack it while two others build the crib and organise , all of them silent .

It’s amazing how I could feel the sorrow in the house itself , as if it knew that one of it’s owners have died .

After finding a nanny , we head to the hospital , finding the man crying over his deceased mate’s body and tears form in my eyes as Aiden rests his hand on the man’s shoulder .

After talking with him about his options , he said he would never leave the boy because it’s the only thing he has that’s apart of his mate , so I told him that there is a nanny on stand by and he doesn’t have to worry about anything because we took care of the nursery and everything else .

He sobbed even more in appreciation and they finally took his mate’s body away .

Aiden and I went back home with a heavy heart , my body feeling heavy in sorrow as we walked and I begin to feel dizzy and a little nauseas , but I shrug it off , thinking it might be the negative atmosphere everywhere .

I love how the pack just helped without questioning , everyone here is trusting , they care and love , they have each other’s backs and I’m lucky to be apart of something like this .

Walking into the house , I stumble to the side , holding my hand to the wall for support and Aiden has his hand on my back , bending beside me , “What’s wrong ?” He asks worriedly and I shrug , “I don’t know , I think I just need to lay down .” I mutter , raising my head and it stings behind my eyes , like a needle is pressed into my skull .

“Okay .” He nods , taking my hand and as I try to walk , my legs feel weak and I still as I feel like I’m going to pass out .

“Aiden .” I breathe out before collapsing , the darkness eating me whole .

I don’t want to die , I can’t .

I just started my life , I just found my true mate , I just began to know these people and love this pack , I just became Luna…

Moon Goddess , please , don’t let me die .

Waking up in a bright white room , the beeping sound makes me flinch .

I raise my hand , stopping when a stinging sensation forms in the crook of my elbow and I look down at the needle in it .

I glance around to see I’m in the medical building and I frown as I look around , seeing Aiden asleep in the chair , his hand holding my other one .

“Aiden .” I hiss , calling out to him in fear .

I thought I was healed , I thought I was fine .

This is what I get when I become happy…

“Aiden !” I shriek , tugging on his hand and a small smile forms on his face as he stands up , cupping my hand in both his .

“What happened ?” I ask terrified .

“You passed out .” His eyes are teary and I frown at him , “I figured , but why ?” I ask and his smile widens before he leans forward and k****s my temple .

“Eleia , the doctor said you’re pregnant .” He beams and I choke , coughing as I catch a breath .

Pregnant ?

Oh .

We’re having a baby .

I could hear Crystal tut .

‘What ?’ I ask her , a vile feeling forming in my chest .

‘Aiden is not our first .’ She points out and tears form in my eyes at the realisation that I might be having Regan’s child or Aiden’s .
