I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

Rosie went to her room , she said she wanted to be alone and I know I shouldn’t leave her alone right now , but I am worried about those kids .

I sit on the stairs , staring at the front door , the interior in the house growing darker as night fall rolls in .

‘Aiden , where are you ?’ I ask worriedly through the mind link .

He doesn’t answer , but the door flies open and two teenagers follow suit with Stefan coming in last.

I raise to my feet , stepping down the last step , “Where were they ?” I stand right in front of Aiden and he rolls his eyes , “I don’t even …” he takes his fingers through his raven hair , “What ?” I ask , glancing at them and the girl is flushed , her eyes stare at the ground .

“They were making out .” Stefan scoffs , laughing and my eyes widen as they flick between the two .

“Young love… are you mates ?” I cross my arms over my chest and they glance at one another , shaking their heads .

“Then why ?” I don’t stop from staring them down .

“Do you love each other ?” I ask and they look at one another in fear , as if they didn’t even know .

“Okay , come on .” I gesture with my hand towards the living room and they keep their heads down as they stride towards the couches , sitting down .

“Do you think that you’ll be mates or are you just bored ? Because it’s very uncertain that you love one another .” I sit on the coffee table in front of them , the granite below my a*s cold , but I focus on them .

The girl shrugs and they stay silent .

‘Maybe they’re scared of you .’ Crystal mutters , but they have no reason to be .

I am kind and caring , I just want to help them…

‘Your resting b***h face doesn’t help at all .’ Crystal scoffs and I force a smile onto my face .

I don’t think that I have a b***h face , but then again , I am not the one looking at me .

“Look , we aren’t mad at you two , we want to help and we can’t do that if you don’t talk to us .” I lean forward , resting my elbows on my knees .

“He yelled at us .” The girl inhales a deep breath and my head snaps at Aiden who’s standing with folded arms , staring at us .

“Why ?” I glare at him , “They made me worry .” He scoffs and I roll my eyes before looking at the girl .

She seems like she’ll work with me .

“It’s okay to make out , I just want to know if you two are together or friends ?” I ask and they hold each other’s hands , staring deep into the other’s eyes .

“He’s my boyfriend .” She smiles at him and I could tell that she loved him , but I don’t know if they are going to say it .

“Okay and that’s cool , it’s perfectly fine but you two can’t just go running off into the woods , especially outside the premises .” My hands hold one another .

“We want to protect you .” I smile , but the anger radiating off the boy is undeniable .

“He killed our alpha and Luna , why should we trust him ?” He snaps , ripping his hand away from hers .

“Because we don’t hurt kids . The adults would have tried to kill us for revenge , but kids are good and they can see who the real evil is and you know it’s not Aiden , because it was Alpha Night that was the terror in that pack .”

The words just fall from my mouth .

“He was kind .” The boy argues .

“Was he or did he make you believe he was ?” I c**k my head at him and his eyes grow dark , “Are you saying that I was stupid to believe my alpha ?” He raises to his feet and I sit upright , staring at him blankly .

No boy will ever intimidate me.

“No , he was just smarter than all of us .” I gulp , the back of my eyes stinging as I think back of how much he cared for me when we found out we were mates , but the hard truth was that he was acting.

It was all an act .

“How can you say that ?” He grabs his hair , tugging at it and I raise to my feet .

“Because I was his first mate , someone who he convinced he cared for before sleeping with me and then rejecting me and now I am carrying his child and he ruined my life !” I bellow , tears forming in my eyes and the boy freezes , her eyes flicking down to my stomach before he steps back and sits down .

“You can be lying to me .” He shakes his head , as if fighting himself to not believe me .

“Get the papers please .” I grit out , “Are you sure ?” Aiden asks and I nod .

I could hear him walk away before coming back and he holds out the piece of paper to me .

I snatch is angrily before giving it to the boy and he stares at it with narrowed eyes , “Really ?” He scoffs and I shrug , dropping it into his lap .

He sighs before opening it and he stares at it blankly .

“Okay .” He folds the paper , “Say I believe you , what now ? We just forget that he killed our parents ?” The boy crosses his arms before leaning back .

“They were all blindly following him , but you have a wonderful opportunity to start over and if you don’t want to stay here…then go , we’ll let you leave , but then you’ll be rogues and it’s not a threat , it’s a fact .” I sigh while Aiden rubs my back .

I am slowly losing patience , I want to help these kids , but they are hell bend on ruining us .

What if Aiden was right ? What if the kids are too old and won’t listen ?

I glance at Aiden and he sighs , wiping the tears from my cheeks .

“Let them be .” He sighs , taking my hand , “You two can go back to the foster family that cares for you or you can leave . It’s your choice .” Aiden forces a smile , he looks so lost like he too wanted to help them .

“Let’s go .” Aiden tugs on my arm and I follow him , “We want to stay .” The boy stands and I turn to look at him , “Are you sure ?” I ask concerned , but a big part of me was relieved .

“Yes .” The girl smiles and I nod , “Okay , then let’s get you home .”

My life feels better right now .

“Can I ask you something ?” The boy scratches his nape .

“Of course.” I smile , “What are you going to do with the baby ?” He asks and the girl elbows him , “What ? It’s not the alpha’s kid .” He snaps at her , “It’s fine , we’re keeping it . This baby will be nothing like Regan .” I hold my bump .

“You’ll be a good mom .” The girl smiles and Aiden and I walk them to their homes before coming back and we eat and take a bath .

Sitting on opposite ends in the bath , our backs rested against the edges , Aiden is giving my foot a masssage .

“You’re very impressive .” He grins and my gaze raise from the bubbles I’m playing with .

“Why ?”

“You handled those two like a real Luna would and I am proud .” He shrugs .

My cheeks heat , “Well I had the best to teach me .” I continue to play with the bubbles , watching them disappear in my hands .

“Ohh , right there .” I beam as pleasure fills me when he uses his thumb on the middle of my foot .

“Like this ?” His voice is seductive as he continues to massage my feet , up to my ankles and back down below .

I lay with my head resting on the edge , smiling , “Yes .” I sigh .

He’s been spoiling me with love and attention , with foot rubs and care .

“I love you .” I sigh as my eyes fall shut , I am not tired , but having my feet rubbed in all the right places is relaxing me in a way I never have before .

“You’re only saying that because I am massaging your feet .” He scoffs , making my eyes slowly open , “Am not .” I glare at him and he chuckles , “Sure .” He mutters under his breath and I use my other foot to splash him with bubble water .

“Hey !” He grabs my other foot , pushing it under the water .

I smile innocently at him , “What ?” I beam as I watch the trail of bubbles dropping from his chiselled jaw .

“That is not fair .” He tuts and I giggle .

He changes the position of our legs and his one is on the outside , then mine , then his again and then mine again , his leg in between mine bent but he slowly straightens it and I gasp when his toe puts pressure onto my clit .

“Stop .” I grab his foot , trying to shove it back , but my body is weak from the intense pleasure that washes over me .

“Why ? You clearly like it .” He shrugs , wiggling his toes .

I jolt up , staring down at him as bubbles slide down my body , “I said stop .” I climb out and he chuckles , grinning at me .

“Don’t be like that , it could be fun .” His eyebrows wiggle and I shake my head at him , “For you .” I deadpan , wrapping my body in a towel .
