I Rejected You, Alpha

ROSIE’S POV

—

I haven’t slept last night knowing that Eleia was missing .

She would never , I mean ever , miss her birthday dinner and when I went to look for her , I found her scent trailing to the end of the pack , out of the boarders and i haven’t seen alpha Regan with her .

I can’t quite ask where she is , yet I feel like I should .

But I barely see him , so the next best thing is to ask the former Luna , because she is in charge of us , she always have been and she always will be until Regan makes Eleia his Luna , she would stand up for us , she will make a change .

I’m making breakfast and I miss Eleia , yet no one has asked about her , not even the Luna this morning .

I wonder if they know where she is…

Maybe I’m overthinking , maybe she’s just busy setting up her own room , with Regan , but that doesn’t explain why her scent went all the way out .

The Luna comes barging in , her eyes wide and she smells nervous , I lift my gaze while I cook the bacon and she clears her throat , “We have guests . Make yourself presentable because they’re asking for introductions from the staff , apparently , they are omega friendly and want to meet everyone .” She rolls her eyes and I nervously gulp .

I flip the bacon in the pan , the sizzling from the oil bouncing up and hitting my arm .

I curse under my breath and she heard me , “Rosie !” She scolds me as three men enter and my eyes widen at the handsome men , all wearing black and dark grey .

“I’m sorry .” The one’s eyes find me and he grins , “Mate .” He growls out and my body stiffen in confusion .

He’s not my mate .

“What ?” The Luna is shocked by this and so am I .

He strides over , wrapping his arms around me , inhaling my scent .

“So sweet .” He breathes out loudly .

“Can we have some privacy ?” He asks , looking at my Luna and she gulps , nodding .

He takes my hand and the tight grip has me knowing that something is going on .

I never seen him and he doesn’t know me , why would he pretend to be my mate ?

“You can use one of the rooms .” The Luna forces a smile onto her face .

He doesn’t see the fake show she’s putting on , but I have seen it one too many times .

She isn’t happy , Eleia is gone and I don’t know what’s happening with me , but now she might lose me too .

“Excuse me .” I tug on his hand as he leads me through the pack house , “Just wait .” He breathes out and I could tell that he was trying to keep calm , so I shut up and breathe as normally as possible .

He leads me into the nearest bathroom and shuts the door , my body tensing…

What if Regan hired him to act like my mate to get me alone and then kill me ?

But that’s also silly , he could just kill me himself if he wanted to keep my quiet , if he knows that I know …

Where are you Eleia ?

“Who are you ?” I gulp nervously as he walks over to the sink and opens the faucet , the water pooling out of the tap .

“Your knight in shining armour apparently .” He rolls his eyes .

“You’re not my mate .” I scoff , crossing my arms in front of me , “Not s**t Sherlock .” He scoffs , “I’ve been sent to receive you and you made it quite easy when the Luna scolded you .” He grins

“Receive me ?” I raise a questionable brow .

“By alpha Aiden , he said to tell you that Elena..Eli…f**k what was her name…” confusion coats his expression .

“Eleia ?” I ask , knowing that it’s what he meant .

His eyes light up , “Yes , he told me to tell you that she said you’re a soldier , fighting to survive , whatever that means .” He rolls his eyes and I know it’s her .

But who the hell is alpha Aiden ?

“So what now ?” I ask as hope crawls up my spine .

Eleia is okay , she’s safe , with alpha Aiden , whoever that is…

“So now , we act like mates and I take you home with me , then I will deliver you to alpha Aiden and your friend .” He nods , whispering and I nod , “But we have to act like mates so you have to hold my hand , got it ?” The seriousness in his eyes makes me nervous and I nod .

He holds out his hand , smiling as he tugs me close to him and he closes the faucet before we walk out .

The Luna stands waiting for us as we enter the dining room table and the man holding my hand , who’s name I don’t know , clear his throat , drawing everyone’s attention to him , including Regan’s .

Hatred brews in my chest , he rejected her and tossed her away and I wish nothing more than to rip his throat out , but I can’t, so I need to get out of here .

“Yes Dwayne ?” Regan sits back , his fingers pressed together on the table , his aura screaming authority .

“I have found my mate and I want to bring her home .” He smiles , looking down at me and I cling to his arm , smiling up at him .

Regan looks at me , eyes narrowed as he searches for doubt , but I tell myself I have found my mate and the happiness on my face finally wins him over .

“Then so be it , congratulations .” Regan stands up , striding over and he shakes Dwayne’s hand .

He thanks Regan , but I wish nothing more than to kill him .

“Good luck , little one .” He holds his hand out and my shaky one takes it .

Dwayne notices my uncomfort as my grip on him tightens and I could feel the burning rage gaze the Luna was giving me .

I want out of here .

“I think we shall go now .” Dwayne shrugs , staring at me with in love eyes , if he were my mate , I’d be wet for him now , in front of all these people .

“I get it .” Regan winks and I thank the goddess that she gave him no brains .

“My things .” I whisper , tugging on Dwayne’s hand but he gives me a stern look , “I will buy you anything you need beautiful .” He beams and I let it go , everything I own , everything I had , I let it go and trust him .

We head out and he opens the front door to a white jeep .

My eyes are locked on the pack house , hoping that no one would come barging out and running to me , to stop me .

I feel free and as Dwayne gets into the car , I begin to sob.

He doesn’t ask what’s wrong , he turns the key in the ignition and drives off , glancing at me and once we’re off the pack lands , he pulls over on the high way , staring at me with an irked look .

“Why are you crying ?” He sighs and I g***n as I try to stop , but it just keeps coming . The tears don’t stop streaming down my cheeks .

My chest heaves and I wipe the tears from my face .

“I’m sorry . Ignore me .” I push my knees to the door , trying to make myself look small and invisible .

Dwayne leans over , gripping my chin in his grasp , “You’re free and it’s okay . Sleep if you want , it’s about a two hour drive .” He winks before continuing to drive .

I silently sob , slowly calming down , sniffing and he hands me a box of tissues from the console between us .

“Thanks .” I whisper and he hums , his hand reaching for the radio and he turns the music up .

I feel like I owe him more , he seems so nice .

“Can I ask you a question ?” I mutter , “You just did .” He deadpans , a grin tugging at his lips .

I roll my eyes , “Who’s alpha Aiden ?” I ask and his gaze turns to me , a serious look in his eyes , “The alpha of the golden wolves pack .” He shrugs and the b***d drains from my face , my eyes widening and I blankly stare at him .

“Why does he have Eleia ?” I breathe out as fear crawls all over me and Dwayne shrugs , “Look , if I knew why , I would tell you . But I don’t , he’s not my alpha , he just called in a favour from my alpha .” He shrugs and I nod , of course he wouldn’t be able to sneak one of his men onto the Night Pack’s property , they would be killed on sight .

It’s genius to send in wolves from another pack , a pack they’re friends with .

“I didn’t know alpha’s give out favours .” I mumble , a small smile creeping up my face .

” Me neither , but Alpha Aiden did something for mine and well , now he called in his favour .” He shrugs and I nod , staring in front of me , looking at the painted lines on the tar road , the trees around me going by fast and I glance at his speedometer , noticing that he’s going one twenty kilometre per hour .

I guess it’s the speed limit on an open road…

“Sleep , I will wake you up , mate .” He teases and I roll my eyes .

He reaches to the back of his jeep and pulls out a blanket , “You can use it as a pillow or whatever .” He shrugs and I nod , curling the soft material up into a small ball and place it in between my head and the door , laying on it and it was mere minutes before I fell asleep .
