I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

I wake up to someone pounding their fists against the bedroom door and I look over, seeing Aiden fast asleep, “Wake up.” I swat his arm before tossing the duvet off me, “Come in!” I say as I wrap my robe around me, tying it in the front. I watch as Stefan barges in with wide eyes, an irritable look on his face, “Alpha Reece is back.” he grits out, his jaw ticking from one side to the other. “What the f**k?” Aiden seethes as he scrambles out of bed, rummaging around for sweat pants and a t-shirt, hopping as he walks as he puts on his shoes, running towards the door and Stefan turns, following suite.

I quickly get dressed before checking up on the kids, finding them sound asleep in the early hours of the morning before I run down and leave the castle, catching Aiden and Alpha Reece in a heated argument.

I strut in right between them, “What are you doing here?” I interrupt as I glare up at the tall muscular man.

He scoffs, taking a step back as he glares down at me, “I’m here for Cleo.” he shrugs, “I am waiting for the elders council.” he grits out and my face falls as the b***d drains from my face.

I want the confidence to stand up to him, to believe as I tell him that the counsil can’t do s**t, but what if they can?

What if they can strip us of our title because we are keeping the child.

“For what?” I could feel the heat radiating off his body as he stands closer to my back, “The council can’t do anything. She has no family.” Aiden deadpans, “Oh, but she does.” The devilish smirk creeping up his face makes my heart fall into the big pit in my stomach.

The silence that falls between the three of us is unsettling, but what he just said is impossible. Why leave yesterday and show up today, claiming she has family? He’s a big fat liar.

“Who?” I ask, my eyes narrowing at him, “She has an aunt, who lives in another pack and I said I’d be happy to come pick her up and take her there.” he shrugs, acting so calmly but Aiden starts to laugh, like from his stomach laugh.

“What are you going on about?” Alpha Reece’s smile falls as fast as it appeared, “If you want Cleo, you are going to have to send that aunt of hers down here for a f*****g DNA test before I let that little innocent girl out of my sight.” Aiden seethes as he rests his hand on my waist, his finger digging into my skin.

I could feel his anger, as if he might snap any second, “A DNA test can be arranged too.”, “He said it will be done here, are you deaf?” I snap and his hostile glare flicks down to me, his one bushy eyebrow slowly raising as wrinkles form on his temple, “Don’t speak to me like that,” his head slowly shakes and I could tell he was trying to intimidate me with his stare.

“Then don’t speak to me like that, who do you think I am? A orphan? A omega?”, “Yes, you are an orphan who got the best life out of your situation, little slut.” he seethes and Aiden grabs his throat before I could blink, “She is your f*****g queen!” he bellows and guards step closer, ready to step in as Aiden lifts Alpha Reece further and further into the air until his toes are barely touching the ground.

Aiden tosses Alpha Reece across the grass and he shifts mid air, stomping his large foot against the ground before charging at us. Aiden shoves me back and I fly a few feet, landing on my a*s as he shifts and attacks Alpha Reece.

“Stop!” I bellow, but it’s no use because they don’t seem to hear me, or they are ignoring me.

“Aiden!” I yell at the top of my lungs as Alpha Reece grabs Aiden by the neck with his large teeth, shaking him around. The cries and whimpers escaping my mate’s snout has my heart clenching and I shift, but before I could even dart forward, Stefan’s large wolf flies past me and his light brown coat is like a sandy blast flying through the air.

He jumps onto Alpha Reece’s back, letting out a loud snarl as he sinks his canines into the side of his neck.

Alpha Reece lets out a loud cry as he falls to the side and Stefan jumps off him, standing in front of Aiden as he gets up. I run over, standing beside him as he shakes, growling at him.

‘Go inside.’ Aiden demands and I glance at him as he rounds Stefan, snarling at Alpha Reece until he shifts back. There are claw marks across his chest, b***d dripping down and Aiden shifts too, “I should arrest you.” he grits out, “f**k that,” he snorts, turning to look at Stefan, “Arrest him.” Aiden seethes and Stefan shifts, grabbing him and pinning him to the ground.

I run inside, shifting back too and grab a shirt before I grab trousers and take them out to Aiden, Stefan and Alpha Reece.

“You have no right!” Alpha Reece bellows as he tries to escape the guard’s grip.

“I so do, I am the king and you are nothing.” Aiden crouches down to his level as Alpha Reece sits on his knees. “You are bullshit! She might be royalty, but you are not.” he spits into Aiden’s face and I storm forward, slapping him across the face, “You disrespectful piece of s**t. Go to hell. Lock him up and never let him out.” I grin as his face pales and he’s lifted to his feet and dragged past us.

I turn to Aiden, “You are the King. Our children will be the future kings and nothing and no one can change that.” I step closer, resting my hands on his chest. He glances over his shoulder at Alpha Reece being dragged away and then back at me, “I know.” he grits out, “That guy just makes my b***d boil.” he grits out.

I smile up at him, “What a way to start a morning.” I shake my head and he snorts, nodding. “Let’s go.” he rests his hand over mine on his chest before he takes it, bringing my knuckles to his lips, leaving a chaste k**s on my hand before tugging me toward him and we head inside.

I take one last glance at Alpha Reece as he’s dragged into the castle and we close the doors behind us, heading back upstairs.
