I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

Running out of the building, I round the corner to find two wolves snarling at one another before I watch the brown one jump the other, biting and rolling.

Both of them are from my pack and I let out a loud snarl, but it doesn’t make them stop. A loud cry escapes the one and I shake my head before growling , making the ground shake and they freeze, turning to me before scattering off each other.

I shift, standing naked as I glare at them and both of their shift, bowing to me.

“What is this about?” I grit out, irked that I was enjoying a lovely evening with my mate for the first time in weeks and they ruin it, making me think that our pack is under attack.

“I apologize alpha, just a disagreement.” the one snarls, but I glare between them. “A disagreement that has you two biting and fighting?” I yell in anger and both of them look at the ground.

” Speak , what is this about?” I snap.

“His girlfriend is my mate.” he snarls and I scratch my nape in terror.

“Well what does she want?” I ask and they both look at one another.

“She wants me.” the one says with a grin and the other is glaring daggers at him, “She’s my mate, she wants me!” He yells.

“That’s enough, go home and speak, if I hear about another fight, I will have no choice but to banish you until you figure it out!” I bellow and my body tenses when a small hand takes mine.

The warmth of her touch makes me relax afterward and I glance down at her .

“What’s going on fella’s?” she asks as she tosses shorts at them and then hands me one.

“They’re fighting about a girl.” I scoff as I put the shorts on.

“Mhh, sounds serious. You are welcome to come for counseling with me tomorrow or even the pack’s therapist.” She smiles, handing it gracefully like a real luna.

I love her so much, but when she steps up, I love her even more.

“So what will it be?” She asks and the men glance at one another, “We’ll sort it out ourselves.” One seethes, making her laugh as she shakes her head, “And then maybe kill one another? No, I want to see you at ten am sharp .” she demands and they glance at me, as if I could help them.

“You heard her, go home.” I snap and they turn, walking away.

She giggles next to me, his hand trailing up my arm before tugging me to the side, “We should probably get home.” She sighs, yawning.

I smile at her before taking her hand and we head home.

Waking up to an empty bed, I frown in fear that last night was just a dream…I get up and search the house, finding Eleia in the kitchen, wearing a dress and heels , making breakfast.

“All done.” she beams when her eyes lock on me and she throws the waffles onto plates .

“Sit and eat.” she demands and I glance at Felix already eating his waffle with ice cream and chocolate syrup.

“You look pretty.” I smile as I scoop ice cream onto my waffle, her cheeks heat up as she smiles back at me.

Oh, I have missed that smile so f*****g much, I totally forgot that it’s like a breath of fresh air.

“I have that meeting at ten, will you watch Felix?” she asks, seeming more cheerful and herself.

I honestly thought that we were never going to get back to our lives, I know there is still a lot to work on, but we are going to do it, we are going to thrive and be there for one another.

“Yeah, of course.” she steps around the kitchen island, kissing my cheek before wanting to walk past and I grab her wrist, pulling her back. “You have to eat.” I demand and her eyes flick over to the stack of waffles, “Right, I forgot.” the disappointed look on her face makes my heart bleed for her.

She really did fall back into her old habits.

I watch her smile as she sits and eats next to me, her eyes lit up with life.

“Eleia..” I breathe out and she glances at me, chewing. “When did you stop eating ?” I frown and her excited happy face falls as if I asked her something offensive.

Her eyes flick down to her plate and I could tell that she was uncomfortable, “I don’t know.” she shakes her head, sounding emotional and I take her hand, rubbing my thumb over the top, “Hey, it’s okay.” I bring her hand up and I place a soft chaste k**s on her knuckles. “I’ll help .”

—

After a few hours playing with Felix, Eleia comes home filled with energy and excitement, “I’m thinking it went well.” I point out as Felix runs around with his red cape, “It did, she chose her mate, which is good, but sad for the other guy but he will find his mate too, someday.” she shrugs, putting her bag down and I nod.

—

Weeks have gone by when Eleia finally started eating regularly and my heart swells. We have been seeing our therapist again and it’s working. We still do have some bad days, but most of them are good.

Eleia started offering her assistance at the local market and Felix has been going to daycare, which she also created.

She’s smart, she likes to offer more work opportunities and she’s been burying herself in work, solving problems and being the best luna.

The party Eleia has planned at this end-of-month meeting is amazing, there are white balloons everywhere, white decorations and the food is out of this world.

The end of month parties are expensive, but it’s so worth it, the happy pack members enjoy the socializing and the off time and no one works during these hours. Eleia had a few men build an area for the children to play .

In the middle of the evening, she calls for everyone’s attention while standing beside me in a beautiful short beige summer dress, there are white flowers braided into her hair .

“Hello everyone, I am happy you all are here tonight.” she beams, her smile wide and her skin is glowing under the lights .

She takes my hand, glancing up at me, “I hope you all enjoy the party and I apologize for disturbing this lovely evening, but as if today, I found out this morning, I am pregnant !” she beams and I stare down at her with amazement, “Your heir will soon be here and I just wanted to share the news with all of you.” her eyes meet mine, but the sound of everyone cheering drowns out as we look at one another.

I capture her into my arms, lifting her feet off the ground as I spin her and she giggles as she holds onto my neck .

I put her down, smiling at her with excitement and a hint of fear, “This isn’t a joke?” I ask and she shakes her head, “It’s real baby.” she smiles before hugging me.

This time it’s going to be different, this time, we are having a child and nothing and no one will get in the way of us.

Or well, that is what I thought…
