I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I woke up exhausted , but lit up a little as I knew it was my birthday .

It was currently three am and all of us, the omega’s, had to begin cleaning, starting off in the kitchen of the pack house.

We sleep in the basement of the pack house, where it’s hot as hell, no windows and no air flow .

It reeks down there , but anything is better than the outside in the cold snow I guess .

They feed us every second day ,but on our birthdays we could choose whatever we wanted as a present .

My parents died in a rogue attack when I was small , well that is what the former Luna said when I asked .

They give us shelter , food and we bathe every night to make sure our filth doesn’t make the house messy .

It’s a six story pack house , five rooms on each floor and the ground floor has a ball room , in door pool , a gym , a huge kitchen , a large dining room and theatre and more .

Rosie tugs on my arm , pulling me into a hug , “Happy eighteenth birthday .” She whispers , knowing that I don’t like making it a big deal to others .

“Thank you .” I beam , wondering if I would meet my mate .

Our mate , the other half of our souls , is what we live for , who we live for and who we would kill for .

We get dressed in our skirts , which they give us new ones every year so that we don’t embarrass them when the pack have guests .

It’s a short mid thigh skirt so that when we scrub on our knees , we don’t tear or ruin it . We each have black thin strap tops and white aprons .

If I weren’t so dirty all the damn time m I would actually like the outfit .

“Come , we’re going to be late .’ Rosie tugs me to the door as it opens .

We are let out by guards every morning at three thirty to start cleaning and organize everything . We take turns in groups to cook and clean in the kitchen while the others clean the rest of the house . Yesterday was Rosie and I’s turn with other girls and luckily , I could peacefully clean without worrying about burning food , like I always do .

The other girls usually put me on dishes and serving the food .

I could be a waiter , if I ever manage to escape this place .

It’s not the worst , but we do get beatings now and then when things aren’t how they wanted it .

And I don’t mean a hand to the a*s , I mean a whip to the back , where no one could see what they have done to us .

We start to clean and we all start at the ground floor , making sure every angle and every object was cleaned and polished for the Alpha’s mate finding party this weekend .

Alpha Regan is the most handsome man I have ever seen , since all I have seen was men from this pack , he has blonde locks that curl a lit , almost like waves , his brown eyes are like honey , not that I was suppose to know that..

I accidentally bumped into him when I was younger and I looked up to apologise , I got a good beating afterwards for disrespecting him .

But nonetheless , he is like a god himself .

Three hours of cleaning and my knees are a bit red , my hands dark brown from all the dust I have been wiping and my apron dirtier than the ground outside .

“Hurry , we have to be done in fifteen minutes .” Rosie’s panicked voice has me wiping faster , they usually don’t check right away , only at night so maybe we can come back to make sure everything is clean .

The rest of the pack wakes up at six , which was thirty minutes ago and they come out of their room between half past six or quarter to seven , so that we could get busy with the rooms and dirty bathrooms at seven sharp .

Fifteen minutes go by so fast , but we make sure everything is clean before heading out .

We stare at the clock until it strikes seven and all of our scurry to the stairs , disappearing onto different floors .

I don’t understand how Rosie and I got dealt the top floor with three other girls , but since I could remember , that floor is ours and if something is wrong of missing , we get the beatings .

I guess it’s better than all of us getting beaten .

Some girls on the first floor get whiplashed every week because they can’t keep their hands to themselves or they’re lazy as hell , but no matter what , we don’t judge because all of us know what it’s like to have nothing .

I usually clean one of the guest rooms and then the former alpha and luna’s , the Luna said she could tell I was trustworthy when she stared into my eyes and no one else was allowed in .

Whatever I touch , is because I clean it and then put it back . Nothing is ever missing and I am pretty sure that they have cameras everywhere too .

I hear a door slam shut as I’m cleaning out their little dustbin in the room and curiosity grabs me and I put everything down to go look .

As I walk out of their bedroom , a strong musky scent hist me , that has heat forming at the base of my spine .

‘Mate !’ Crystal howls

I glance down the hallway at the current Alpha , Alpha Regan and I admire his toned back , thinking that she must be mistaken .

Alpha Regan does smell good , but…

My body freezes as he stops , tilting his face up into the air , inhaling and he turns , our eyes lock and I can’t help but want him to run up to me .

Please be our mate .

If he isn’t , I am sure as hell getting a beating on my birthday for looking him straight in the eyes .

His deep stare burns into me and with each passing second , I breath less , think less and drool more .

“Mate .” The word falls from my mouth and a smile twitches up into his face .

“Mate .” He breathes out and once he takes that step towards me , he doesn’t stop until I’m snatched up in his arms , his lips pressed to mine hungrily .

Sparks erupts all over as his hand cups my face , dragging back into my hair , tugging it hard as he tilts my head back , slipping his tongue into my mouth .

The sweet taste that is him makes me g***n against him l*p , my neck beginning to feel stiff .

He suddenly jolts away from me , his one hand still in my hair , the other cupping my cheek .

He’s at least not looking at me in disgust…

I mean , he is from an alpha bloodline and I am only an omega .

Our kind of pairing never happens , ever .

Alpha’s and beta’s usually end up together .

He glances down the hall , grabbing my hand , stepping back , “Come .” He nods his head towards his bedroom and I freeze , shaking my head .

“I can’t .” I glance back at his parents room, ” I still have to clean .” I pout , my entire body wants to go with him , but I have responsibilities. I have a job .

He glances past me at his mother’s room , “She’ll understand .” He shrugs and I step back , “Let me at least clean it .” I am way more afraid of his mother than what I am of him right now .

He sighs , scratching his nape , “Really ?” He asks in disappointment .

I nod and he sighs , “How quick can you be ?” He asks , his foot tapping against the floor .

“Twenty minutes .” I shrug and he grins , “Then hurry .” He grins and I smile before I dart into the room, starting to run around and clean .

By the time I’m done , I feel nervous .

What happens when I go with him ?

What will we do ?

Will he ask me to be his Luna ?

Oh goddess ! I’m going to be Luna…

I pat myself down as I make my way to his room , my hands shaking as I lift them to knock .

“Eleia !” Rosie hisses from down the hall and my head snaps at her .

“Yeah ?” My eyes wide as I stare at her .

“What are you doing ? He chased me out .” She hisses , fear clear in her tone .

Before I could explain that he’s my mate , the door in front of me opens , his hand darts for me and he grabs my wrist , tugging me inside and the last thing I see is my best friend’s wide eyes .

His hand around my wrist is warm , sparks shooting up my arms , making me shiver in pleasure .

He says nothing , his hand grabs my waist and he spins me , the back of my legs hitting something before I drop onto the bed .

He hovers over me , his knees settling in between mine .

“You’re so beautiful.” He breathes out before his lips crash against mine , our mouths wrestling for dominance , but me being me , I give in and his tongue slips past my lips , devouring my mouth .

His hand trail up my side , groping me above my clothes .

I could tell he wanted to strip me out of my clothes and I’m silently thanking my apron for being so tight .

He lowly g****s , tugging at my apron and I push my hands against his chest , “Stop .” I mutter against his lips as he forces a k**s onto my lips .

He sits back up , frowning at me .

“Why ?” He asks offended .

“I have to go work .” I frown at him .

He doesn’t understand what kind of beatings we get, or maybe he does.

He is the alpha after all…

But maybe, when I become Luna , I can change it all .. I mean, he didn’t reject me?
