REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

”Mate.” I heard him whimpered loudly.

The moment I heard those words from him, I felt my legs getting weak, and I couldn’t remove my gaze from him. I locked eyes with him and noticed the color of his eyes were getting darker, which scared the shit out of me.

I tried moving my gaze from him, but I felt intoxicated by it and couldn’t move an inch.

I noticed he clenched his fist and made an animal-like sound I couldn’t understand or explain.

We stood there for a while staring at each other, until I saw him blink his eyes and moved away from me.

Quickly, I moved away from him and walked into the room, and met the man smiling like something was really funny.

“Hey, sir”. I greeted,

“Come sit.”

I smiled at him before taking the seat beside him.

“Thanks for earlier today.”

“It was nothing, sir.” I replied.

I felt someone was glaring at me from behind, and I nervously turned around, only to find his gaze on me. Nervously, I turned around and took a deep breath.

“Meet my son, Eric. Eric, meet Victoria, the young lady who saved my life.”

The young man left the door and walked up to us but did not say a word, rather he just kept staring at me, and he wasn’t hiding it.

”Nice to meet you.” I smiled at him and brought forth my hand to him for a handshake, but he ignored me, which made me awkwardly kept back my hand and smiled at his father.

”I just came back to check on you and will be taking my leave.” I said those words and quickly stood on my feet, wishing I could vanish away.

“Are you scared of my son?” the old man asked when he noticed I was in a haste to leave.

“Of course not.” I chuckled nervously.

“You should be.” a rough and dominant voice spoke up from behind.

Hearing the tone of his voice, I felt cold and a shiver ran through my body and my legs quivered in fear.

“Stop frightening her, Eric,” his father warned.

“I need to go, sir.” I didn’t let the word leave my mouth before I ran out of the room.

The minute I left the room, I released a breath I never knew I was holding.

What the fuck was that? Why did I act that way, the minute I met him? This mysterious man acted like one who has a spiritual power or something unusual.

I shook my head, confused, and left the hospital.

I got home and my roommate was already home.

“How is he?” she asked,

“He is fine,” I replied.

“Is anyone there with him?” she asked, sounding worried. This was one thing I loved about Sonia. She was always troubled about everyone.

“Stop stressing yourself, his son was there.” when I made mention of his son, I felt my body shiver, and I recalled all that took place at the hospital.

“Is everything okay?” Sonia asked,

“Something strange took place at the hospital.” I murmured

“Tell me.”she demanded.

I explained all that happened at the hospital and Sonia kept silent all through.

”You said he called you mate?”. She inquired,

“Yes”. I replied.

”Fuck!.” Sonia exclaimed loudly and took out her laptop.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, while moving closer to her, so I could see what she was typing on her laptop.

“Vicky, you just met a werewolf.”

“What do you mean I just met a werewolf”? I asked confused.

“Look at this.” she handed me her laptop and what I read marvelled me.

“This can’t be possible. I thought werewolves were only in movies and stories.” I muttered, shocked.

” They are real Vicky, they are fucking real. And you are a mate to one.” she sounded shocked and also delighted.

“Stop right there, what do you mean?” I asked, confused.

“You are his mate, more like a soul mate, that’s why the moment he saw you he called you mate.”

“Never.” I shouted,

“Never what?” Sonia asked with raised eyebrows.

“I can’t be his mate, I don’t know him, and by the look of things, it is obvious he doesn’t like me.”

“How do you know that?” Sonia asked, in disbelief.

“His action towards me said it all.”

Sonia rolled her eyes at me and stood to her feet.

”Most werewolves will lay down their lives for their mates. That’s how strong the bond between you two are.” Sonia stood in front of me with a serious look,

I grunted, frustrated, before speaking up. “Maybe I heard him wrong.”

”No, you did not. You just don’t want to accept it. You are mated to a werewolf. Oh my God, he might even be an alpha!” Sonia exclaims happily.

I rolled my eyes at her words and wondered why she was this happy for me.

”Do you know what it means to be mated to an alpha?”. She asked excitedly.

”I’d prefer not to know.” I quickly stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom, put on the shower and stood in it, while my thoughts drifted to him.

I could still remember his beautiful set of green eyes and how dark they became when we locked eyes with each other.

“Stop thinking about him, stop it.” l urged myself before leaving the shower.

When I got to the room, Sonia was still busy typing on her computer.

“You need to come see this.” Sonia waved her hand at me to come join her,

“I don’t want to.” I murmured.

She jumped out of the bed and stood before me. “You have to be marked by your mate.”she expressed with a big grin on her face.

“And what does that mean?” I asked, confused.

“He will have to mark you on your neck during sex to claim you as his.” Sonia spoke with a devilish smile on her face.

“What the hell!” I shouted,

”Why are you shouting?”

“I can’t take all this.” I told her and sat on the bed.

“You have to, and do you know there are very possessives of their mates.” She continued

“Can you please stop.”

“The most important one, do you know you will undergo a period called the heat period.” She added excitedly

“Can you please stop.” I shouted in anger and placed my two hands on my ears.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She noticed I was angry and dropped the topic for the moment because I knew she would definitely bring it up some other time.

She heaved a soft sigh and walked back to bed.

“I’m sorry.” she apologized

“It’s okay, I’m not mad at you,”I told her with a smile, which she returned and went back to her computer.

Quietly, we watched some movies throughout the day and slept off.

The next day!

“Sonia, can you give up already, I’m not ready to listen.”

“Listen, your mate is one of the richest bachelors in this country, he has different companies under him.” Sonia spoke with so much excitement,

”How did you know about this?” I asked in disbelief.

”Well, you said his name was Eric, and I checked out wealthy guys bearing the name Eric and easily found him.” She spoke, excited.

”That’s ridiculous.” I spoke with irritation. I was tired of her blabbering.

“Are you kidding, girlfriend? You are fucking Rich.”she giggled happily.

”Stop this nonsense, and how did you get this information?” I asked while staring at her,

“I did my research on him last night.” she spoke with a big smile on her face.

“You mean you were awake all night.” I asked, shocked.

“It was worth it,” she replied with a big grin.

“Jezzz, you are something else.” I left her and went to take a shower.

We were supposed to go for a job interview this morning in a popular BDSM club. A friend of ours told us they were looking for bartenders and the pay was good.

We dressed and left the apartment, but Sonia kept talking about Eric. It seemed she knew him more than I did, even when she actually hadn’t met him.

We got to the club and were asked to sit and wait for the manager.

A few minutes later, I was called upon for my interview.

After the interview, we were told to wait, that they would contact us and tell us the outcome of the interview.

“I think I did well.” I told Sonia,

“I can say that about myself.” Sonia replied, and we both chuckled and went home.

We were at home watching a movie when Sonia’s phone buzzed. She spoke with the person for a while before she ended the call. I was about asking her who the caller was, but my phone rang.

“I think they are calling you.”

“Who.” I asked,

“Pick up first.”

I picked up and realized it was from the BDSM club. We just went for the interview. They have accepted me and asked me to start by tomorrow since there will be a big party tomorrow. Excitedly, I thanked him and ended the call.

“It seemed like we’ve both been employed.” I giggled happily.

“I knew we could do it.” Sonia spoke with a big and proud smile on her face.

“We should celebrate.” I told her and went for drinks,

But when I checked the fridge, all the drinks were gone.

I looked back at Sonia and realized she was pretending she was busy with her phone.

Angrily, I stood in front of her with folded arms.

“Sonia!.”

“Yes.” she replied without meeting my gaze.

“Where are the drinks?” I asked with raised eyebrows.

“Oh, that.”she murmured

“Yes,” I spoke back.

“I drank all last night “. She whispered.

“Seriously?”. I asked while sitting on the bed.

She ignored me and kept on typing on her computer.

I gave her a hard and angry look before looking away.

The rest of the day was uneventful, and I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come.

Later in the evening of the next day, Sonia and I went to the club. We were shown around the club and introduced to all the staff. We were given a uniform of black short skort and a white T-shirt.

We changed into our uniforms and prepared for work.

I looked at Sonia and noticed how relaxed she was, and wondered how she could be this relaxed in a situation like this.

We were about to meet a bunch of rich men and women tonight, and for some strange reason I felt anxious and scared.

Sonia was assigned to bar 3 while I was assigned to bar 2.

Nervously, I took a deep breath and got to work.
