REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

”Sophie!” I just called out Sophie’s name.

Curiously, I turned and met the startled eyes of Victoria staring at me with a shocked and confused look.

Quickly I realized what I had done; a quick thought came into my head.

”Listen, aunt Sophie, I can’t make it, I’ve told you this before.” I muttered and did not even let Sophie say a word before I ended the call.

”Sophie.” Victoria murmured while staring at me with a confused look, While I quickly thought of what to say to her.

”Oh, that’s my Aunt, she has been pestering me to show up at her place, but I’ve told her time without numbers that I can’t make it.” I calmly said those words, hoping it would work.

”Oh.” she exclaims and nodded her head,

”Is there a problem?” I asked nervously.

”Not really, just that the name reminds me of someone.”, she murmured with a frown on her face.

I took a deep breath of relief when I realized she did not notice a thing from me.

”So you have an aunt who lives here”? She asked curiously, it was obvious she was interrogating to know at least a little about me.

”Yeah, I have an aunt.” I said those words truthfully to her.

She nodded her head and kept silent while we both sat in an awkward silence before I stood up. ”I have to go.” I announced.

”Let me walk you out.” She said, while getting up on her feet.

We both left her room and got to my car.

”Thanks for dropping by.” she smiled at me and nervously tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing my mark on her.

Seeing my mark on her neck, my wolf howled in possession, and it took everything in me to keep it at bay.

”Bye.” gently, I pulled her to myself and placed a kiss on her forehead before stepping away from her. I opened the car and beamed at her one more time before driving off.

I drove back home while smiling like a little kid who has been gifted some candies.

Within few minutes, I got to my house, parked the car in the garage and handed the keys to my housekeeper.

”Good evening alpha, Sophie is here.” he announced.

Those words from him made me groan with irritation while I removed my mask, and stormed into the house.

I got to the sitting room, but she wasn’t there. I released a heavy sigh and took the stairs.

I got upstairs, opened the door to my bedroom, and found Sophie seated on the bed with my mask in her hand.

She met eyes with me and flickered me a devilish smile which provoked me.

”How dare you touch my things.”? I yelled in anger.

She chuckled, stood up from the bed, and majestically walked up to me with a victorious grin on her face. Seeing such a smile on her face, I knew something was wrong.

”What’s this.” she asked, while raising the mask to me,

”None of your business, and how dare you walk into my room and touch my things. How did you even have access to my drawer?” I muttered furiously and walked towards my drawer, only to find out that it was broken.

”How dare you.” I yelled in rage as she chuckled loudly and clapped her both hands before moving closer to me.

”A Few days ago, I noticed something was fishy and strange, so I hired a private investigator to monitor your every move and guess what I found. You disguised yourself as DOM Tim while you went to meet that stupid mate of yours.” she yelled in anger. ”You claimed you hated her, yet you disguised yourself as someone else just to meet with her, bravo, what an excellent performance.”she clapped her both hands to me and walked back to the bed.

”How dare you send men to follow me?” I muttered out in anger.

”And how dare you deceive me all this while.”she yelled back at me.

I noticed I was losing control and I had to do something to keep my wolf at bay.

Quickly, I hurried to the bathroom and poured water on my face while I took in a deep breath to calm my wolf and the anger boiling in me.

I splashed water on my face and head for a while and cleaned it with a towel. I took a deep breath and stared at myself in the mirror while I relaxed.

She has guts.

I have been too gentle to her. That is why she has the guts to send men to follow me around.

”Damn it!” I shook my head in anger and left the bathroom.

I got back to my room and met her seated on the bed with her legs crossed and a glass of wine in her hand.

”Get out.” I yelled with irritation. I never knew a day would come when her presence would irritate me this much.

”Get out Sophie, now I’m being nice to you.” I muttered those words as a threat, but She smiled evilly and took a sip of her drink.

”You were with her, right ?” she muttered those words like she was so sure of it. ”You were with that thing, that was why you called me aunt.” she chuckled softly and shook her head.

Those words from her angered me and without a second thought, I walked up to her and dragged her out from the bed. ”I don’t lay my hands on women, don’t make me begin from you.” I warned fiercely.

”You won’t dare.” she muttered and forcefully removed my grip from her.

”It’s over, Eric.” she yelled in anger. ”You have been having control over me for long, not anymore.” she said those words while pointing a finger at me.

”You see this ??” she showed her phone to me. ”This is your little bitch number, I’m gonna call her and tell her how you’ve been playing with her feelings if you don’t go by my rules.” she threatened seriously.

Hearing those words from her, I groaned angrily and roughly ran my fingers through my hair before speaking,

”You won’t dare.” I barked,

”Oh yes, I will.” She replied with no atom of fear in her.

”Even if you hurt me here, I still have someone who has all the information to link you out ” she spoke seriously.

Her words made my blood run cold, and it took everything in me to control myself.

Groaning angrily, I took a deep breath and kept my wolf at bay before moving away from her.

I strolled to the mini bar in my room, took out a bottle of whiskey, poured some in a glass and drank everything in it.

I closed my eyes and clenched my both fist in anger for a while before opening them. ”What do you want?” I asked in defeat because I knew Sophie, and what she could do just to have what she wanted.

”How much do you need because I know the only thing you care about is money.” I said while facing her.

She scoffed and took another sip of her drink, ”Why take a penny when I can have you, the bank.” she muttered seductively and moved closer to me.

”Stay back and name your price.” I yelled, irritated.

”Fine, I want you back. I want things to go back to the way they were before she came.”

”Never ” I muttered out, angrily.

”Then watch me tell her your little secret of how you’ve been taking her for a fool.”

”You won’t dare.” I yelled in anger and held her two arms.

”Don’t dare me Sophie, you don’t know what I’m capable of doing.” I warned, but She chuckled loudly with no atom of fear in her. ”I’m not scared of you Eric, or should I say DOM Tim.” She grinned at me with no fear in her.

”One week, I’ll give you one week to make your decision.” she declared those words and freed herself from my grip.

I watched her pick up her bag and majestically left the room.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

I groaned in anger and flung the glass in my hand at the door.

How was I this careless not to think of this? How did I let Sophie get to the weak side of me.

”Are you alright.” I heard my housekeeper’s voice at the door.

”Leave, I’m fine.” I murmured those words and sat on the bed.

I sat on the bed with so many thoughts buzzing in my head until I noticed my phone ringing.

I went for the phone and saw that it was Victoria calling.

I felt my heart thump in fear, and my palms became sweaty as I thought of Sophie’s threat.

Inhaling deeply, I cleared my throat and picked up the call while seizing my breath in panic.

”Hello.” her sweet melodious voice spoke over the phone.

”Yes dear.” I replied,

”I just called to see if you are home already.” she spoke with so much care and love that I wondered what would be my fate if she got to know that I was actually Eric.

”Sorry, I was about calling you.”

”Not to worry, I’ve called already.”she giggled over the phone.

Hearing how happy she was talking to me, I wondered if this would continue if she realized I was Eric.

”You are quiet, are you okay.” her worried and curious voice brought me back from my thoughts.

”I’m alright, I just wanted you to keep talking.”

Hearing those words from me, I noticed how she giggled happily over the phone before speaking up, ”You are sure good with words.” she chuckled softly.

I smiled at myself and noticed my wolf was really excited and calm.

”I love you.” I did not know when that left my lips.

The line was silent for a while before she spoke up,”I love you too, bye I have to go.” she quickly whispered those words and shyly ended the call.

I smiled at myself, still staring at the phone, as I felt my heart still pounding because of her words.

Hearing her words, I felt goosebumps all over my body and wished I could see her face while she said those words to me.

Tiredly, I lay on the bed with a big smile on my face as her words kept echoing in my head. I tossed on the bed while giggling like a kid, until I remembered Sophie’s words, which made me realize I needed to make her like me as Eric, but how do I do that?

Victoria’s POV.

I smiled widely at myself and dropped the phone on the bed. It felt nice, so nice, hearing those words from him.

I lay on the bed and felt my heart still pounding in excitement as his words kept ringing in my head.

He said he loved me, and by the tone of his voice I knew he meant what he said.

I giggled happily and moved around the bed as I thought of his words and wondered if he would be happy if I tell him I was pregnant.

I frowned when I realized the child might not be his, but Eric’s.

I shook off those thoughts from my head and prayed a silent prayer hoping the child would be Tim’s child because I can’t imagine myself bearing a child for Eric.

Few minutes later, I noticed a click on the door and saw Sonia walking in with so many bags in her hands.

I sat on the bed and watched her place the bags on the floor.

”Whoa, and who is this guy?” I asked while staring at the goodies she was bringing out of the bag.

”DOM mike, he took me out.”she replied nonchalantly and continued bringing out the stuff from the bag.

”DOM mike ?” I asked with stunned eyes.

”Yes, do you have a problem with that?” she frantically asked.

”How can you go out with Mike, when I’ve told you all he has been doing to me and how dangerous he is.” I spoke in disbelief, while She released a heavy sigh and turned to my direction. ”At least he trusted me enough to tell me his name and show his real face to me, unlike some Doms.” she spoke in mockery.

Hearing those words from her, I felt a slight pain in my heart because I knew what she meant by her words.

Ever since I started having an affair with DOM Tim, Sonia had been a totally different person and I wondered why.

”Goodnight.” I murmured those words to her and laid back on the bed with a slight pain in my heart.

”Just a week and a few days.” I murmured those words of encouragement to myself before drifting to sleep.

I woke up with a strong ache in my head while I was sweating profusely.

I went for the light and put it on, only to realized it was just 2am in the morning. Lazily, I stood up from the bed and took out a bottle of water from the fridge and gulped everything into my mouth before sitting on the couch.

”What a dream.” I murmured to myself, confused, as I stared at Sonia, who was still fast asleep on the bed.
