I Rejected You, Alpha

ROSIE’S POV

—

A hand lightly strokes my cheek , “Wake up Rosalie .” Dwayne’s voices rings through my ears and I inwardly g***n that he thinks that’s my name .

It’s just Rosie .

“Rosie .” I correct him and the tension build in the car as my eyes flutter open . I notice all these houses and trees , lot’s of trees .

“Where are we ?” I ask as I sit upright , my eyes feeling heavy and I don’t think I have slept that peacefully in years .

“At the golden wolves pack .” Dwayne smiles and even if I should feel relaxed , I don’t .

What if Eleia isn’t even here ?

“Calm down .” Dwayne mutters and I know that he could smell my anxiety mixed with fear .

“I don’t want to die .” I mutter , my hand grabbing his arm that lays on the console between us .

He breaks a bit , “Is your friend going to kill you ?” He asks worriedly and I scoff , “No , but what if she’s not even here ?” I panic and he sighs , “I don’t think alpha Aiden would know what she told me to tell you if she weren’t .” He shrugs and that makes a solid point .

I nod , relaxing a bit , “Okay .”

As I take my eyes off Dwayne , I see her .

My entire body jolts in happiness and I absentmindedly grab Dwayne’s hand , “There she is .” I breathe out , my throat tight as I have my eyes glued to her .

My eyes land on the man’s hand she’s holding , he’s gorgeous . His black hair shines in the sun and from afar , I could tell that his eyes were bright , probably blue .

“Who’s that ?” I gulp and Dwayne pulls his hand from mine , shifting gears as he slows down , “That’s alpha Aiden .” He clears his throat before the car comes to a halt .

I see her ripping away from him as she darts towards the car and I curse under my breath as I struggle with my seatbelt .

Dwayne unbuckles it for me and I open the car door .

“Rosie !” ELEIA’S cheerful voice rings through my ears as I run towards her .

Our bodies slam together and I wrap my arms around her neck , a sob ripping through me .

“You’re safe .” She breathes into my hair as her arms are wrapped around my waist , holding me close to her .

“I am .” I croak as hot wet tears run down my cheeks .

I push her back , looking at her tear stained cheeks , “Why are we here ?” Is the first thing I ask , I don’t know why she came here k I don’t know why she held the alpha’s hand and I really hope he’s a long lost brother or something .

“Alpha Aiden is my second chance mate .” She explains , the edges of her lips curling up into a small smile and even if my heart is overflowing with joy for her , it’s also overflowing with anger for Regan .

“So Alpha Regan rejected you ?” I ask with a sad gaze in my eyes and she gulps , her beautiful forest orbs flicking to the ground as she nods .

“I’ll kill him . I swear Eleia .” I grit out but my body suddenly calms unexpectedly , the tension in the air shifts as a musky scent fills my nose .

“What is that smell ?” I murmur clueless and Eleia frowns at me , a confused expression covering her face .

“What smell ? All I smell is sweat .” She scrunches her nose up and she turns to look behind her and then I see him as I glance past her brown locks .

A beautiful man , his hair light brown , almost a dark blonde , his honey pool eyes making me gasp , “Mate .” I breathe out and Eleia’s head snaps into my direction .

I notice her wide eyes staring at me , but I can’t look away .

He growls mate in a low tone and the vibration sends shivers all over my body .

Aiden grabs his arm , “Are you sure ?” He asks and the man nods before he walks towards me , “This is Stefan , Stefan , this is Rosie .” Eleia introduces us , but even if I heard her , all I focused on was his name .

Stefan .

Ste-fan .

It’s hot and sexy just like he is .

“It’s nice to meet you .” My chest rises as I speak and he grins before cupping my cheek and pulls me into him , his soft lips crashing against mine hungrily .

“Ok-ayy.” Eleia murmurs before she pads away , giggling with Alpha Aiden and my insides twist as Stefan slips his tongue into my mouth .

“Get a room Stefan !” Alpha Aiden teases and my body tenses at the thought of being alone with this man .

He’s gorgeous .

“Come on sweetheart.” He nods towards the inside of the house .

“Does this mean we don’t have to do her room ?” I hear Eleia ask her mate and confusion fills me as we follow them inside .

“Who’ house is this ?” I ask as I cling to my mate’s side , smiling as I glance around at the beautiful interior .

“Mine , I mean ours .” He glances at Eleia and my insides bloom with happiness for my best friend .

Now this is a real man .

“Do you still want your own room ?” Eleia asks k her eyes flicking to Stefan and once I lift my gaze to his , he’s staring down at me with hope in his eyes .

Do I want my own room ?

I guess it would be a waste if my mate is here , we’d be together all the time anyway .

I inhale a deep breath as I lock eyes on his honey pools , “If it’s okay with you , I think I’d like to share a room .” I smile and a huge , wide smile covers his face , showing off his beautiful pearly white teeth .

“I don’t mind a bit .” He picks me up , spinning me around and I get a bit dizzy .

“Woah !” Eleia bellows as she already reaches for me and I stumble to the side as he puts me down .

Eleia’s hands are on me and my eyes widen as I inhale a deep breath .

“I’m fine .” I shake it off , not wanting my mate to feel bad .

“No , can we get her something to eat , please ?” She begs Aiden and he nods , his eyes clouding over , “Is a sandwich alright ?” He asks , eyes still gray like stormy clouds .

“Yes .” Eleia answers for me as she walks me to a chair .

Stefan stands frozen , staring at me with wide panic filled eyes .

“What’s going on ?” Stefan asks confused and Aiden sighs , placing his hand on his shoulder .

“The Night Pack must be destroyed brother , that’s what .” Alpha Aiden mutters , his eyes dark with fury .

I glance at Eleia sitting next to me , “Are they brothers ?” My head leans closer to her as I speak and she giggles , shaking her head , “Best friends .” She winks and glances over at them as Aiden walks Stefan off , talking to him .

I try to listen , but all I could hear was a plan about destruction .

“You told him ?” I breathe out and Eleia sighs , ” I had to , otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to save you right away .” She breathes out , her voice shaky and my insides twist .

“I don’t want Stefan to know .” I shake my head and her bottom l*p sticks out in a pout , “It’s too late .” She sighs as she glances over at them and I hear alpha Aiden tell Stefan about everything Eleia said .

I watch as Stefan’s body stiffens , his hands balling into fists next to his sides , his biceps flexing , veins popping and the tension growing has me sucking in a sharp breath through my nose .

“It’s okay .” Eleia breathes out , rubbing circles on my back .

“Does he know about…” before I could finish my sentence , Stefan turns , hurriedly walking towards me .

“Let me see .” He seethes and even though I know that he isn’t mad at me , I shake in fear .

My bottom l*p trembles and I look at Eleia , “It will be okay .” She nods , encouraging me and I let out a shaky breath before standing up m turning my back to him .

I loosen my apron , tossing it to the floor before Eleia helps me lift my shirt .

I could feel his eyes boring into the gashes of my back and the back of my eyes sting as unshed tears rest on the rim of my eyes .

Someone enters with my sandwich and Stefan tugs my shirt down , his chest colliding with my back and his arms wrap around my waist , holding me to him .

“It’ll be okay .” He whispers , kissing me on the top of my head before he takes the sandwich , thanking the omega and leads me track to the couch .

I give Eleia a look , a look asking if she saw that and she nods , a warm smile on her face and as I was about to sit down , Stefan sits and pulls me onto his lap , smiling up at me .

I think Eleia and I found our home , our safe place , our forever .
