I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

While sitting on the counter , watching him making me breakfast , I can’t help but smile .

I freeze , my body tingling , the tips of my fingers going numb as it feels like my brain is pulsing , my heart beat racing in a good way but something feels wrong .

Aiden turns to look at me as the entire vibe shifts from good to bad and my shoulders dart back as I arch my back .

“What is happening ?” I ask as I try to crawl into a ball and the feeling fades before I hear voices in my head , chanting .

‘Luna ! Luna ! Luna !’

What f*****g Luna ?

Rosie comes stumbling into the kitchen with horrid filled eyes , “Did you feel that ?” She asks out of breath .

“Did you hear that ?” My eyes widen as I hop off the counter and she nods before rushing over , grabbing onto my shoulders .

“This is the worst thing , how could he have found another?” I could tell my best friend was pissed as hell , but there was nothing I could do about it .

I found a second chance , so why couldn’t Regan ?

“What are you two talking about ?” Aiden stops what he’s doing .

“Regan found a Luna .” I mutter uncomfortably and his eyes narrow on me , “Are you okay ?” He asks and I roll my eyes , “Of course I am , the feeling was just.. weird .” I shake my head and he paces , “Probably someone outside of the pack , they had to join . That’s why .” His fingers drag over his forehead and I nod .

“But when did he find her ?” Rosie pushes and I roll my eyes as my back is turned to her .

I honestly don’t even want to know .

He rejected me like I was nothing , he’s heartless and a monster , I feel sorry for the girl who’s his mate right now .

She doesn’t know what she’s in for .

“It doesn’t matter , Stefan !” Aiden calls his beta and he comes running down the stairs , looking at Rosie with worried eyes , “Here you are , I was looking for you .” He drags his hand through his hair before looking at Aiden .

“What’s up ?” He asks so chilled and Aiden’ eye twitches , “Get ready , we’re going , right now .” He looks at me , “You two stay here , eat .” He demands before striding forward , grabbing my shoulders , “And I promise I will come home to you .” He breathes out , squeezing my shoulders and my heart feels like it’s going to break .

“Wait , right now ?” Stefan asks agape and Aiden nods , “If it just happened , there’s a crowd of wolves who we can circle and attack .” Aiden grins and it’s like ice water being poured onto me .

I stop breathing for a second as my body tenses .

“Get everyone , we’re going .” Aiden k****s my temple before walking past me .

“We need an alliance Aiden .” Stefan argues and I turn to look at them , hoping that Stefan can stop this .

“And we have one , who I am on the way to call . I said get ready .” He growls and my insides twist .

I am suppose to become Luna tomorrow , but what if there’s no one left ?

“Yes alpha .” Stefan mutter before kissing Rosie , muttering to her that everything will be okay before he k****s her and leaves .

Rosie grabs my hand and we watch our mates leave .

Aiden comes running out of his office and straight out of the door without looking back at me .

“I hate this .” I mutter as I squeeze her hand and she hums in response , left speechless .

I push off the counter we’re leaning on and tug her with me towards the door , “What are you doing ?” She asks , following me because I won’t let her hand go .

“We need to stop them .” I grit out , a bad feeling is crushing my chest and I don’t know if it’s because something bad is going to happen or if it’s because I’m just worried .

Barging through the front door , I don’t stop until I see them charging off , to far to hear us screaming at them to stop and I try the mind link , but I’m blocked .

My knees buckle and I let Rosie’s hand go in defeat as my knees hit the ground .

“No .” I breathe out , my hands shaking in fear as I watch them disappear into the woods , behind the trees until the last tail of the last wolf running disappears and I begin to sob as I clutch my chest .

Rosie sits down next to me , “We’ll just sit here and wait .” She nods and with the little snow around us , I shake my head , standing up .

“No , if someone gets hurt . We are going to need to be healthy and okay to help them .” I help Rosie up from the little layer of snow , “We need to wait inside .” I gulp before heading inside and I lock the door behind us .

If something happens , we’re royally screwed because we’re just women . We are just women and children and we need to stay safe and hidden .

I wish I already was the Luna so that I could talk to the rest of the pack..

I don’t know what they’re doing , but I am positive that they are trained in this situation .

“We should eat .” I mutter as we head to the kitchen , even though I’m not hungry at all , it’s in fact the opposite – I feel sick to my stomach .

“I’m not hungry .” Rosie sits down at the counter , resting her head on her arms .

“Me neither .” I join her and I don’t know how long we lay on our arms before moving to the couch , sitting side by side .

“I see he finally marked you .” She stares at Aiden’s mark in the crook of my neck and I can’t help but smile and nod .

“It was amazing , it began to snow .” I blush and she grins at me , “Romantic , isn’t it ?” She mutters and I nod , inhaling a deep breath .

“I need him to come home .” I sigh , my gaze dropping to my fidgeting hands .

“Me too , I want them all to come back .” Rosie reaches for my hands , stopping me as I pick at my nails as she grabs my hand .

“Relax .” She mutters and I nod , sucking my lips into my mouth , biting down on them for some relief of my stress building .

They will come home , the Night pack does not have anything on this one .

I have seen these men train , I have seen them fight one another with caution .

They are strong , they will come home .

Hours to by and Rosie has fallen asleep , so did I , but I jerked awake in fear .

I stand up from the couch , the pitch black clouds throwing an unlumminated shade over the house , leaving it gloomy inside .

I open the door , just to see if they are back yet , but they aren’t and I shut it once more .

‘Aiden .’ I call out to him through our private mind link , but there’s no response .

I start to make dinner , not caring if I’m not allowed to .

I am going to be Luna to this pack , this is my home now and I will do as I please when he’s here or not .

Cooking steak that I found in the freezer , Rosie sneaks into the kitchen , appearing next to me without making a sound and I jump to the side as my one hand reaches for my chest , my heart beating out of my chest as I stare at her with wide eyes .

“Good goddess Rosie , don’t sneak up on me like that .” I breathe out as my racing heart slows down .

“Sorry…” she murmurs , a guilty smile appearing on her face and I nod , “It’s fine .” I mutter , focusing on the steak , careful not to over cook it in the pan .

“Are you allowed to make this ?” Rosie asks teasingly and I shrug , “It’s our home too .” I mutter , not wanting to worry anymore .

I want to be in control of something .

‘Eleia .’ Aiden’s voice rings through my ears and I look up as if he were here .

“Aiden ?” I mutter , frowning as I realise that it was in my head .

‘Where are you ?’ I ask while my heart is beating in my ears .

“What ?” Rosie mutters , but I try to ignore her .

‘Almost home , running into the borders .’ I could hear his exhaustion through the mindlink and I don’t hesitate to push the pan off the heat and put the piece of steak onto a plate before turning the stove off , “They’re almost here .” I tug Rosie on the arm as I dart out of the kitchen and she follows , the smell of her anxiety infiltrates my nose as we run out and see some wolves return and others in human form , helping carry others and I don’t stop running .

My b***d boils when Aiden shifts and there’s a big gash over his stomach , which is slowly healing .

“What did you do ?” I yell as I still run to him and I could see his chest cave before I reach him and he drops to his knees tiredly .

“We shouldn’t have gone .” He shakes his head , looking down into the snow and I fall onto my knees in front of him , cupping his cheeks before I lift his head , “How many ?” I ask , my eyes trailing over his hurt body and he just keeps on shaking his head I’m disappointment .

“It’s okay .” I stand on my knees , holding his head to my shoulder as I rub his arm .

He’s hot in this cold weather and he lifts his head , glancing to the side as he stares at the hurt people moving towards the big medical building and he shakes his head before dropping it again on my shoulder .noveldrama

“Let’s get you cleaned up .” I try to lift him but my bodies go limp as Rosie’ terrified screaming of Stefan’ name bursts through my ears .

My head snaps into her direction and I watch with a horrid look as they carry him towards the medical building .

My heart bleeds for my best friend and tears form in my eyes as I silently pray that he’ll be okay .
