REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Eric’s POV

”A council meeting for me.” I groaned out in anger.

The council meeting involves different alphas from different packs gathering to discuss issues. Since I became an alpha, I have never brought an issue or been discussed, and here is dad setting up a meeting against me when he knew how much I hated those meetings.

I groaned angrily and took out a whiskey from my bar. I have to do something, and I need to do it really fast before things get out of hand.

“Excuse me sir, lieutenant general Michael is here to see you.”my secretary announced

“Michael”. I murmured,

“Yes, sir “.

“Let him in.”

Within a minute, Michael walked in, all dressed in his uniform, with two of his men behind him. “What are you doing here? “. I asked in anger.

“You may leave us alone.”, he signaled his men to leave. “Calm down, Eric.” He muttered out those words with a big grin on his face.

I ignored him and poured out a drink for myself.

“I went to an event not far from here, and decided to pay you a visit.”, He said those words and sat on the couch.

“Why are you here? ”

“Can’t I see a friend?” He teased with a chuckle,

“You and I know you are here for something, just spill it out.”

He scoffed and stood on his feet, moved to the bar, and took out a glass for himself.

“So she’s your mate?” he asked while filling up his glass.

“None of your fucking business.” I responded with anger.

He snorted softly and took a sip of his drink, “It’s obvious you don’t want her.” he said those words like he was so sure of it.

“Michael, I have a very busy day, if you have nothing to say, then I think you should leave with your men.” I spoke, irritated, while He grinned softly and took another sip of his drink.

“Calm down Eric, we are not quarrelling, I’m just here to make a deal with you.” He said with a devilish grin on his face.

“Which is?”. I asked in annoyance.

”You don’t want her, but I do, so I was thinking, why don’t you let me have her and make her my submissive.” He muttered out those words with a big grin on his face.

“Mine!” My wolf howled in anger and I couldn’t control him.

“Get out!” I yelled, “Calm down man, we both know your wolf is the one reacting this way and not you,” He declared.

I felt my muscles crack, and my breath became unsteady, indicating my wolf was furious and wanted me to shift to its form, but I controlled him.

“Leave now Michael.” I warned in anger.

“I see your wolf is already ready to fight with me.”, he expressed in a rough voice and I noticed his wolf was already agitated, but I can’t let us fight in my office when hundreds of people are in the building.

We stared at each other with anger before he backed out and looked away.

”This discussion isn’t over.” he said those words and walked out of my office.

”Damn.” I groaned and closed my eyes, so I could suppress my wolf. I successfully suppressed my wolf and went back to my seat. I groaned and roughly ran my fingers through my hair.

Since the day my wolf found his mate, he has been getting more angry and powerful by the day and I find it hard to control him, especially when it involves anything to do with her.

I knew I needed to do something really fast, before the news spread around.

A call on my phone caught my attention. I went for my phone and saw that it was from aunt Laura.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Hello aunt.”

“Your father called.”she said those words as soon as the call was picked,

“And?”. I asked,

“He said you’d found your mate, but you rejected her.” She murmured in a disappointed tone, which made me grumble and leaned on my desk.

“Aunt, you shouldn’t bother about that. I will handle it on my own. Everything is under control”. I muttered out.

Aunt Laura sighed and spoke up. “You know your dad has already called a meeting.”she explained.

”I’m aware of that.”

“You do realize it’s a disgrace and a bad thing for an alpha who rules a big pack like yours to reject his mate.”, she warned.” Make peace with your father and do what is right.” She expressed those words as a plead.

I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated. “I’ve heard you, I need to go now.”, I grumbled out and ended the call.

I groaned angrily and hit the table with anger and frustration. Angrily, I picked up my phone and dialed dad’s number. It rang a few times before he picked up.

“Dad.”

He did not say a word, but I knew he heard me. “Why would you tell aunt Laura about me not wanting my mate?” I muttered in anger.

”This is just the beginning, Eric. One month. I will give you one month. After one month, if you do nothing about your claiming your mate, then the council will have to discuss your matter.” He expressed those words as a threat.

Hearing those words from him made me clench my fist and grit my teeth in anger. “You won’t tell me what to do, father.” I shouted angrily.

“Of course I won’t, but maybe the council will.” he threatened. “Stop this!” I demanded in anger,

“Do what is right.” He declared firmly, which made hit my fist on the desk and spoke up. “Fine! If you really want me to have a mate, then I can mark Sophie and make her my mate”. I blurted out.

“You won’t do such a thing”. Dad uttered those words in anger.

“I won’t let you waste the life of Sophie by marking her as your mate and making your wolf weak and restless.”he spoke with anger. “Listen Eric, I give you one month, one month to do what is right, or you will hear from me.” He expressed those words as a threat, and I knew he wasn’t joking about it.
