I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

Tonight is the full moon and it has grown colder to the point of freezing .

I have no doubt it’s about to snow .

Aiden has left to train with the pack and I wonder down to the front door , dressed in black tights with wool in the inside and a big white fluffy jersey .

I rub my hands together for heat when I step out of the house and I make my way towards where the yelling and growling is coming from .

The grass beneath my sneakers are wet , grass sticking to the side of my shoes .

I halt when I see wolves sparring , some in human form battling one another while Aiden yells corrections , stopping them to show them .

They’re all shirtless and I don’t know how they aren’t cold .

‘Healthy wolves don’t usually get cold .’ My wolf , Crystal , mutters and I roll my eyes , focusing back onto Aiden who’s looking like a hunk .

He looks like a male stripper , maybe more like a model ?

All I know is that he’s beyond handsome .

The small stubble of his beard makes me chew on my bottom l*p , Regan had this baby face and seeing Aiden look like a real man , a true alpha , it stirs feelings in my stomach .

Aiden catches me standing with my arms crossed in front of my chest and he smiles at me .

I thought he’d be mad , but he doesn’t seem to mind that I’m out here .

I have been eating better , sleeping better .

I genuinely feel great .

I see Stefan among the shirtless men and I can’t help but wonder here Rosie is .

I turn and head back inside , closing the door behind me and my body relaxes ion the warmth of the house .

“Eleia .” Rosie’s voice startled me and I whip around , staring at her with wide eyes .

“Hi .” I sigh as I see her blonde locks falling around her cheerful face .

“Where were you ?” She asks as she hops down the last few steps and I point to the door behind me , “I was just checking on Aiden .” I shrug and she smiles , “Did you know they don’t wear shirts and I’m pretty sure that it’s about to snow .” I scoff and she giggles , “It’s ridiculous but it’s needed if they want to go against the Night pack .” She shrugs and my eyes widen at the news .

“They want to do what ?” I ask with raised brows .

Guilt covers her face , “Aiden didn’t tell you ?” I could tell she was nervous .

I shake my head and she chews on her bottom l*p , looking guilty .

“I don’t think you were supposed to know .” Her face scrunches up and I shrug , “Why ?”

I don’t know why Aiden wouldn’t tell me , I mean I would never stop him from taking Regan and his monstrous pack down .

They are all vile , they have no hearts , only a s****l drive that is fed by the hurt of others .

“I don’t know , but if Aiden didn’t tell you…” she shrugs , her words trailing off and I ignore it .

“It doesn’t matter , I’ll just ask about it .” I shrug and we head towards the living room and choose a movie .

Aiden and Stefan has been hard on us on resting and eating well .

He woke me up with an eggs Benedict breakfast with bacon and cheese .

It was delicious , but when I wake up , I’m not necessarily hungry .

“What did Stefan make you for breakfast ?” I ask as we scroll through the channels .

“Becon end egg quiche .” She scrunches her nose up end I frown in confusion , “Thet sounds delicious .”

“It wes e little bit burned .” She scoffs with e smile on her fece end I giggle .

“Better to meke it yourself .” I joke end she nods .

“They ere trying their best .” Dorien yells , slemming e cupboerd door end Rosie end I glence et eech other before getting off the couch end rushing to the kitchen , stending in the door side to side .

“Their best isn’t good enough .” Aiden bellows , meking the floor sheke beneeth me .

“Hi .” I reise my voice , but Aiden doesn’t even look et me .

He dregs his hend through his heir , meking e mess of his reven locks .

The sigh he lets out hes me feeling like I heve done something wrong .

Aiden looks pissed thet I’m here while Stefen smiles et Rosie end welks towerds her .

“Cen we telk , Aiden ?” I breethe out in e low tone end he rolls his eyes before welking to the sink , filling the gless in his hend with weter .

“Okey .” I breethe out ennoyed , “Whet is going on ?” I reise my voice , leughing e bit es the tension in the room suffocetes me .

“Nothing .” Aiden sneps before gulping down the weter .

“Then why ere you two fighting ?” I yell , pointing between Stefen end Aiden .

“We’re not fighting .” Aiden sighs es he puts the cup down end Stefen steres et me with e werning look .

“Arguing then .” I point out end Aiden turns , leening with his shirtless upper body egeinst the counter , crossing one enkle over the other es his erms cross over his chest .

“It’s none of your business .” He shekes his heed end I step beck , my body turning es my heed lols beck , e scoff esceping my lips .

His eyebrows reise es his eyes widen , those beby blues looking et me like I’m crezy .

“Of course you ere going to be my Lune …” he scoffs , “Then why ere you disregerding me like I’m your mistress ?” I snep , not letting him finish is sentence .

“I’m not , but when it comes to treining my peck , it’s my job . Not yours .” He seethes , stending up right , stepping forwerd , leening forwerd with his hends resting on the islend counter between us .

I stere et his engered expression end I sheke my heed , “I know thet , but why ere you being so herd on them ?” I scoff end he shrugs .

She slowly diseppeers but I don’t even cere , she is not choosing his side beceuse of this stupid mete bond .

“Bacon and egg quiche .” She scrunches her nose up and I frown in confusion , “That sounds delicious .”

“It was a little bit burned .” She scoffs with a smile on her face and I giggle .

“Better to make it yourself .” I joke and she nods .

We start to watch a movie and halfway through , the boys come in , talking and arguing as they make their way to the kitchen .

“They are trying their best .” Dorian yells , slamming a cupboard door and Rosie and I glance at each other before getting off the couch and rushing to the kitchen , standing in the door side to side .

“Their best isn’t good enough .” Aiden bellows , making the floor shake beneath me .

“Hi .” I raise my voice , but Aiden doesn’t even look at me .

He drags his hand through his hair , making a mess of his raven locks .

The sigh he lets out has me feeling like I have done something wrong .

Aiden looks pissed that I’m here while Stefan smiles at Rosie and walks towards her .

“Can we talk , Aiden ?” I breathe out in a low tone and he rolls his eyes before walking to the sink , filling the glass in his hand with water .

I glance up at Stefan and I notice how he only has his eyes on Rosie all the while Aiden doesn’t even want to look at me .

“Okay .” I breathe out annoyed , “What is going on ?” I raise my voice , laughing a bit as the tension in the room suffocates me .

“Nothing .” Aiden snaps before gulping down the water .

“Then why are you two fighting ?” I yell , pointing between Stefan and Aiden .

“We’re not fighting .” Aiden sighs as he puts the cup down and Stefan stares at me with a warning look .

“Arguing then .” I point out and Aiden turns , leaning with his shirtless upper body against the counter , crossing one ankle over the other as his arms cross over his chest .

“It’s none of your business .” He shakes his head and I step back , my body turning as my head lols back , a scoff escaping my lips .

“No ? Then why am I here ? Am I not going to be your Luna ?” I snap and Stefan utters Rosie out of the kitchen as I yell at Aiden .

His eyebrows raise as his eyes widen , those baby blues looking at me like I’m crazy .

“Of course you are going to be my Luna …” he scoffs , “Then why are you disregarding me like I’m your mistress ?” I snap , not letting him finish is sentence .

“I’m not , but when it comes to training my pack , it’s my job . Not yours .” He seethes , standing up right , stepping forward , leaning forward with his hands resting on the island counter between us .

I stare at his angered expression and I shake my head , “I know that , but why are you being so hard on them ?” I scoff and he shrugs .

He’s lying right to my face .

‘He didn’t lie .’ Crystal scoffs .

‘Well he sure as hell didn’t tell me the truth , he didn’t mention the attack he’s planning . He’s holding the information from me and that is lying .’ I snap at her .

She slowly disappears but I don’t even care , she is not choosing his side because of this stupid mate bond .

We owe him nothing .

He owes me the truth though .

“Don’t do that .” I point at him as anger brews in my heart .

It feels like my body is ready to jerk with the negative energy bursting through my body .

“Do what ?” His eyes narrow on me .

“Lie to me .” I grit out and he looks dumbfounded .

“I’m not lying .” He shakes his head and I roll my eyes .

As my eyes come back to normality , he’s in front of me , towering over me like I’m some sort of short elf , his baby blues dark like the ocean during the storm .

“Do not roll your eyes at me .” He grits out , his eyes flicking between my wide ones .

“Sorry .” I mutter , feeling a bit intimidated .

“I did not lie .” He grits out .

I step back , backing away from his angered gaze .

“Yet you did not tell me about the attack you’re planning .” I shrug , crossing my arms in front of my chest .

“I didn’t need to .” He says so calmly that it pisses me off completely and I scoff , turning my back to him as I roll my eyes behind his back .

“You think you can just go out and attack my old pack ?” I turn to face him , “I could help !” I yell and he shakes his head , striding towards me , his hands resting on my shoulders as his body relaxes .

“You do not step foot near that pack again . I don’t want you near Regan .” He grits out , concern filling his eyes .

“I don’t want you near the attack , I want you in bed , eating , enjoying yourself while you rest and heal and eat .” He is over exaggerating at the moment .

I swat his hands away , shaking my head , “How do you expect me to stay at home while you go out and fight for your life ?” I sigh and his head lols back as he momentarily looks up at the ceiling .

A g***n escapes his lips before he glances down at me once more , he looks lost .

“You are my life and if something happens to you , I will die . I need you here , at home , safely . And there will be guards to keep you here if you don’t listen .” He grits out and I gulp .

He wouldn’t put guards here .

“Promise me you’ll stay ? I can’t protect you and kill that bastard at the same time .” The thought of Regan makes him growl lowly and I inhale a breath .

“You have to promise me if it turns out for the worse , you’ll retreat and come home .” I beg .

I found my second chance mate , a second chance at love and life and I’m not ready to lose him to Regan f*****g Night .

“I promise , if you stay here .” His face goes soft and I inhale a breath , nodding .

“Then I’ll stay .” I agree .

“Thank you , now I have to get back to training .” He k****s my temple before walking around me towards the front door .

“Stefan , let’s go !” He bellows , making the glass on the counter shake before walking out of the door and I watch Stefan run after him .

“Rosie .” I mutter as I find her in the couch m her cheeks red .

“Yeah ?” She wipes her mouth guiltily and I roll my eyes out of jealousy .

How is it that the alpha has no need to touch me , but Rosie has the beta wrapped around her finger , having him make out whenever and wherever .

She’s already marked and here I am , waiting for nightfall to come to even just have to k**s him like it’s my last breath .
