I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

I know I shouldn’t care if the child isn’t mine , but I do .

I don’t even know the laws of this situation , should the alpha’s kid be with the dad where they are the heir of the pack ?

What if it is Regan’ kid ?

What if she wants to tell him it’s his when it is ?

Oh goddess , please don’t do this to me .

I love Eleia , but I hate Regan , every fibre of my body hates Regan Night , how could I love his child ?

He killed my sister .

‘You can’t love another man’s child , especially not the one who killed our sister .’ Jamesy growls and I agree a hundred percent with him , but how do I tell Eleia that ?

‘We can’t .’ Jamesy sighs , leaving me feeling guilty .

How would I just act ? I can’t even pretend to love that kid if it’s mine…

‘Just tolerate it .’ Jamesy shrugs and I nod , feeling like I can’t do anything else except wait .

Eleia has been sleeping the entire afternoon and it’s almost time for dinner .

I roll my head forward before looking at her laying on the bed , crawled up under a blanket , fidgeting in her sleep .

She’s absolutely amazing , but I did not sign up to take care of another man’s child .

She would have to give him up if she loves me , she would have to send him to Regan , but then again , he too won’t live that long .

I slowly stand up and walk over to the bed , glancing down at my sleeping mate before I crawl onto the soft mattress , leaving over her from behind and I place a k**s on her cheek , smiling as her shoulders raise .

Even in her sleep she’s adorable .

“It’s almost dinner time .” I whisper into her ear , my lips brushing against the shell of her ear ever so lightly , msking her roll onto her back and she g****s .

She frowns , deep lines forming on her forehead as her eyes screw shut tightly before they flick open , exposing her beautiful forest orbs .

“Hi .” I smile down at her and the edge of her l*p slightly curls up into a smile .

“Hi .” She yawns before sitting up and I can’t help but stare at her belly as she stretches her arms above her head , exposing her stomach .

I could feel her gaze on me , but I can’t seem to drag my eyes away from where the baby is growing inside of her .

Her arms lower , her one hand on my shoulder and when her shirt falls back down over her skin , I look up at her with guilt creeping up my spine , ruining every thought I have .

I want this child to be mine , but it’s a very slim chance because she’s barely been here three weeks .

“It’s okay .” She mutters and I notice her forced smile , “What do you mean?” I try to act oblivious , smiling to throw her off .

“You don’t have to be happy .” She lets her hand slide from my shoulder , down my bicep to my hand that’s flat against the bed .

“I wouldn’t be happy either if I were you .” Her smile fades as her thumb rubs over the top of my hand before the climbs off the bed and heads to the bathroom , leaving me feeling like the a*s I am while being frozen standing on my hands and knees .

I get off the bed , dragging a hand through my hair before shoving my freezing hands into my pockets , walking to the bathroom door , “I’m just heading downstairs , meet you there .” I bellow through the shut door , but she doesn’t reply .

“Did you hear me ?” I ask , knocking .

“Yes .” She answers and I stare at the door before turning on my heel and I walk out of the room , down the stairs , ignoring Stefan as he calls out to me .

Rosie stands at the bottom of the stairs , eyes wide , but I barely acknowledge her looking at me .

“Aiden .” She calls out to me and I feel like a ghost as I turn and look at her , “What’s going on ?” She asks , “It’s none of your business .” I blurt out angrily before grabbing my coat and I leave the house , slamming the door behind me .

The cool air hits my heated skin like a slap , everything stinging as it begins to freeze , the snow is now past my ankles , halfway up my shaft , “Fucksakes .” I mutter m letting my head lol back as my eyes fall shut and I feel the small snowflakes falling onto my face , it’s like cold k****s all over .

I hear the door behind me and I let my head lower before stomping to the side of the house , almost lifting my knees past my ears as I struggle through the snow .

“What is going on with you ?” Stefan’ voice sounds so chirpy , so happy and joyful and all I feel is jealousy and anger .

I grab the shovel around the corner , turning to look at him with a blank expression .

“Nothing , I just want to clear the path a bit .” I shrug , lying effortlessly and he hums .

I hate it when he hums , it’s full of sarcasm and cockiness .

“So is what Rosie said true ?” He asks as if it were his problem .

“Yes .” I grit out as I start to shovel snow to the side .

It has never snowed this much in such a short time .

“Did you take a test ?” He asks as if it wasn’t the first thing I wanted to do .

“Yes .” I sigh , feeling more irked by the second .

“When will it be ready ?” The amount of questions he’s asking is making me want to hit him with this shovel so bad .

I grip the shovel in my hands tightly , “Two days .” I seethe and he laughs like everything I just said and what’s happening to me is such a joke .

I put all of the negative and angry energy into shovelling , making a clear path .

“I’m sorry man , but it’s just , Regan has twisted his life into yours one to many times , what are you going to do when the baby is his ?” He asks and I freeze , still not knowing the answer to that question .

“I don’t know .” I continue , hating that I don’t know what to do .

I always know what to do , I always know what to think and plan , but this is my mate , this will be her child too and I already told her that I’d love the kid no matter who’s it is because it’s her kid .

But I know I’m going to hate it when it’s his .Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are we ever going to kill him ?” He asks as if he wanted to do it right now .

“Someday .” I shrug , after the attack , I had patrols up around the land doubled , afraid that Regan might retaliate , but he has yet to come here and fight me , but I know he’ll come , he always does .

It kind of feels like a traditional thing that happens every year now , but when the one makes their pack stronger , so does the other .

“I think it should be soon , who cares if he’s the father ? This doesn’t affect the child . It’s innocent .” Stefan mutters and I’m frozen in spot before I turn to look at him dumbfounded .

“What ?” I scoff , shaking my head at him .

Did he honestly just say that ?

“Did you not understand ?” He c***s his head at me .

“I heard you .” My lips are parted as I stare at him with narrowed eyes , “Then what’s the problem ?” He leans against the front door and I hope that it opens and he falls flat on his a*s .

“I just can’t believe that you said that .” I shake my head .

“Are you seriously mad about that kid ?” He points to the door behind him , kicking off from it , “We kill Regan and his pack and that kid doesn’t need to know that he isn’t yours .” He explains , but all I hear is Regan’s kid .

“Regan killed my sister !” I bellow , a low growl escaping my lips and Stefan stands with his arms crosses over his chest , shaking his head at me as if I’m the problem .

I am not the problem here , Regan and his c**k is .

If he knew that he did not want her , he should have told her right away , he shouldn’t have shoved himself inside of her and strung her along .

“I know that !” Stefan seethes , “When I was a kid , I was obsessed with her Aiden , I think she might have been my mate.” He grits out in a whisper and I hate to admit it , but I always thought that too .

They were always playing , he always looked out for her , he cared when my sister and I fought and even though he was my best friend , he checked up on her first .

“Me too .” I scoff , crossing my arms and hurt flashes through his eyes .

“And the fact that all these years I had hoped that she was just lost and not dead … it gave me hope and when Rosie showed up , I knew she was dead .” He gulps , looking on the verge of a breakdown .

“Of course she is Stefan . I can’t even mind link with her .” The back of my eyes sting and he uses the top of his hand to wipe his nose as he nods , his eyes slightly red .

“Just …let’s go in and eat , alright ?” I force a smile as we head inside .
