I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

I’m laying in Aiden’s strong arms , my stomach facing the bed , his fingers stroking up and down my spine .

“You feel good ?” He asks in a soft mutter and I nod , my fingers trailing his ribs .

“Yes .” I snuggle into his side and he places a k**s on my temple , “It feels like it healed .” He murmurs , sitting up and I pull my arm from over his waist , excitement coursing through me as I pull my arm underneath me and he pulls the duvet from my bare back , exposing my entire back and I could feel his eyes boring into my skin , making me worry every second that passes .

“What ?” I finally ask when he doesn’t say something while his fingers trail my back lightly .

“It’s gone .” He chuckles and my eyes widen as I prop myself up onto my elbows , glancing over my shoulder at him .

“Really ?” I ask in relief , smiling and he nods .

I try to look at my back , but I can’t .

I pull my legs up before crawling out from under the duvet and off the bed , rushing into the bathroom .

“Where are you going ?” He chuckles , but I can’t seem to answer as I turn in the mirror , looking at my smooth back .

“Oh my goddess .” I mutter , staring in awe .

I have completely healed , I never thought that I would be able to .

I run out of the bathroom , grabbing clothes and I pull it on , “What are you doing ?” Aiden sits up with the duvet over his lap and i raise my gaze to his , “I have to tell Rosie .” I smile as I rush out of the room , almost tripping as I run down the stairs to the second floor and I rush to their bedroom door , knocking like my life depends on it .

The door flies open , “What ?” Stefan snaps and I stare up at him with wide eyes , “Oh .” His dark eyes light up as they soften , “What do you need , Luna ?” He calls me the name teasingly and I scoff , “Where’s Rosie ?” I try to look last his broad shoulders standing the entire doorframe full .

“On the bed .” He grins , leaning his head forward , “Naked .” He whispers and I roll my eyes before pushing his shoulder out of my way and I walk into their room , finding my best friend tied to the bedpost against the wall , her a*s in the air and I gasp , turning my back .

“I tried to warn you.” Stefan shrugs as he grins and I slap his chest .

“You did not .” I scoff , “Untie her .” I demand and he rolls his eyes before walking around me and he struts to the bed .

I could hear the bedpost jiggle , Rosie giggling as I stand impatiently , my toes tapping against the tiled floor below me .

“Are you decent ?” I ask , “Halfway , but enough .”

I take it as a yes before turning around , smiling at her as she has the covers up to her breasts .

“So…” I drag it out and her eyes widen as her head tilts to the side and I turn slightly , lifting the shirt off my back and her eyes widen , “It’s gone .” I beam and her eyes flick to Stefan , lighting up and she turns , showing her smooth back too .

“So did mine , there were some left yesterday and now it’s all healed .” She beams and we both squeal simultaneously in joy .

Stefan holds his finger to his ear , “Ouch .” He over exaggerates and Rosie punches his arm before he chuckles .

“I’m kidding , good for both of you , but if you don’t mind .” He brushes his fingers over her cheek and she leans into him , batting her long lashes at him .

“Okay .” I sharply turn on my heel and walk out of the room , closing the door behind me before sighing in relief .

We both still had scars , but this… this was the time to heal and I’m overly excited that we did .

I rush back up the stairs , finding Aiden coming down .

“Where you running to ?” He grins , making me blush with the intensity he’s looking at me .

“I was coming back to you .” I shrug and he hums , smiling as he brushes my hair back over my shoulder .

“You were ?” He asks with raised brows and I nod , making him take another step down .

“Well I’m on my way downstairs , I think it’s time for another lesson.” He grins as he stares down at me .

“Already?” I ask with wide eyes .

It’s already been two days since the ceremony , but I guess that it can’t be all pleasure and no work .

Plus I’m really hoping for another reward when I get the next lesson right .

“Yep .” He takes my hand before I turn on my heel and I follow him down the stairs , smiling all the way as we head to his office once more .

“Now these are questions that you need to pass , or at least have to get right half way .” He shrugs as he stops at the chairs in front of his desk , pushing my shoulders down and I sit down onto one before I watch him round the desk and he takes his place in his comfortable office chair , smiling as he slides forward , his fingers pressing together and I nod , feeling ready .

Sitting with my shorts and t shirt , I smile as I wait for him to start asking me questions .

“What do you tell someone when they need me , but I’m not here ?” He asks and I smile , “I ask if it’s something I can hel with , if I can , I do and if I can’t , I contact you .” I shrug and he hums , his lips that are straight curling into a smile .

“Good .” He nods , “Now if someone came to you , telling you there are intruders ? What do you do ?”

This feels like a trick question , “I shift and help fight .” I shrug and he tuts , shaking his head .

“No , you alert the pack , the entire pack and run and hide .” He grits out and I frown at him , “No , this is my pack . I help fight .” I grit out and he laughs , looking up at the ceiling , but the laugh is dark , a sarcastic humour .

“You shall not put yourself in danger .” He seethes , looking at me with dark stormy eyes .

“But I can fight , I mean I can learn .” I shrug and he nods , “No , but yes , you will learn because you need to be able to defend yourself , but you will not rush into danger .” He grits out and I nod , feeling that it’s very unfair because I can fight for my pack , I want to .

“What do you do when there are intruders ?” He asks and I frown at him , did he not just ask that question ?

“I hide , apparently .” I shrug and his eyes narrow on me , “You’re getting this wrong .” Is all he says and I c**k my head at him , “You just said…” I shake my head in disbelief , “Think .” His eyes narrow on me .

“What do you do while hiding ? Who do you take care of ?” He glares at me and I could feel the pressure in my chest building , moving to my eyes as I feel confused .

“Take care of the ones that can’t fight ?” I suggest with a scrunched up face , “And that is ?” He asks with raised eyebrows , “Children and mothers , pregnant wolves .” My eyes light up and he smiles , nodding , “There’s a hidden door in the ground underneath the medical building , it’s in a supply closet , you lead them there , under there , there’s a vault , you lock yourself in until I find you . You and I are the only ones who are going to gave the codes , you can unlock it from the inside if I don’t make it out .” He shrugs and my b***d boils at that thought.

“Now see , that’s the problem .” I shake my head , crossing one knee over the other .

“What ?” He c***s his head at me .

“The thought of you not making it out alive , who will look out for you ? I can do that and you’re letting me hide away?” I snap and he tuts , shaking his head as he holds his hand up , “Stefan is my beta , I am the alpha , I fight for everyone , but everyone fights for me too . We have come out of multiple wars over and over , we make it because we’re a team .” He sits forward , staring at me with intense eyes .Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I can’t focus on winning the war when I’m scared for you , understand ? You’re a distraction .” He grits out , making me nod as I sit back , turning my gaze to the bookshelf wall .

“Do you understand ?” He slams his hand against the desk and my head snaps at him , “Yes .” I bellow and he nods , sitting back .

“And what do you we do monthly ?” He asks and I inhale a breath , “Have s*x ?” I shrug , making him blush as he shakes his head with a soft smile .

“Not what I meant .” He shrugs and I stare at him with a blank expression , “Then what ?” I ask with raised brows .

“Every end of the month , we hold a party , to honour everyone , food and drinks and playground for the kids , it’s to bond and socialise . We aren’t just their leaders , we are their family .” He explains and I nod , “Okay so we have balls or just parties ?” I ask for clarification .

“Party , balls are for special events .” He shrugs and I nod , “Okay , party every end of the month , it sounds great .” I smile and so does he , “It does , it’s a very heartfelt event every time .” The genuine smile he has makes my heart swell .

“And you use to do this on your own ? ” I ask and he shrugs , shaking his head , “Stefan helped , a lot .” He chuckles , “He made the party what it was , always smiling and making others laugh .” He smiles and he looks so happy .

“It sounds exciting . Any more questions ?” I ask and he shakes his head , patting his lap .

“Ready for your reward ?” He grins and I blush before getting to my feet .
