REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

I entered Kelvin’s car and angrily shut the door.

“Easy man.” Kelvin cautioned, opened the door and got in.

“Are you okay.” he asked with a piercing gaze on me.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Stop doing that.” I murmured angrily and looked away.

He stared at me for a while before he started the car and drove off.

We drove in silence until I spoke up, “Do you think Victoria will forgive me if she gets back her memory.” I asked, panicked.

The thought of her getting back her lost memory frightens me and for some strange reason, I pray she doesn’t get it any sooner.

“You don’t want her to gain back her memory.” Kelvin asked, while his eyes were fixed on the road.

“How did you read through me.” I grumbled.

“I didn’t, it’s just obvious.” He responded.

His words made me sigh heavily and tiredly massage my forehead. “What should I do?” I murmured to myself, frustrated.

I want my Victoria back, but I know once she gets her lost memory it will be over between us because I can still see the anger and hatred she had for me in her eyes the day I met her again.

“She is your mate Eric, she can’t resist you for long, so don’t worry about it.” he flashed me an assuring smile and fixed his gaze on the road.

A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I heard those words from Kelvin. Indeed, he was right, Victoria was my mate and bears my mark, so she won’t be able to resist me for long.

The constant ringing of Kevin’s phone caught my attention, and I was curious why he wouldn’t pick up his call.

“Is someone bothering you?” I asked, out of curiosity, maybe his subs were calling.

“No.” he murmured almost to himself while the call kept coming, but he wouldn’t pick it up.

I glared at him and noticed he was bothered by the call and was forcing himself not to pick it.

“Who is calling?” I asked, concerned. He has been a good friend to me, and I think I should do the same.

He ignored my questions and didn’t say a word, while the call kept coming, and I realized Kelvin was forcing himself not to pick up.

Curious, I went for his phone in his pocket, but he didn’t try to stop me from taking his phone.

I took out his phone from his pocket and stared at the caller. “Is this not…” he did not let those words finish from my mouth before he cut me off. “He has been calling me for the past one month, saying he wants to meet with me.” Kelvin murmured.

I stared at him and could notice the pain in his eyes. Kelvin went through hell when his mate rejected him. He did everything possible to get the love of his mate, but his mate bluntly refused him.

Kelvin went through pains and heartbreak and now that he was trying to pick up his life his mate was showing up in his life again.

“Don’t you want him anymore?” I asked while the phone kept ringing.

Kelvin remained silent for a while before he eventually replied, “He is my mate and bears my mark, I can’t stop loving him.” he murmured in a hurtful voice.

“You’re sure you don’t want to come in,” I asked, as Kelvin stopped in front of my house.

He thought for a while and shook his head, “No, I have things to do.”

I stared at him and noticed he was really stressed out, and I knew the reason. “Why don’t you pick up his call and hear what he has to say?” I suggested.

He took a deep breath and shook his head. ”There will be no need for that, I have to go.” he flashed me a fake weak smile and drove off.

I stood there and watched him drive away. Kelvin was a nice guy, and it surprised me that someone would reject him.

I went walked past the gate and was almost at the door of my living room when my housekeeper rushed out from the sitting room. “Welcome, alpha, you are back.” I noticed the uneasiness in his voice and knew something was wrong.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Sophie is here, she is in the living room.” He announced with a grumble.

“No problem.” I walked into the sitting room and wondered why Sophie was back all of a sudden.

For what I know, she left California for Japan after our breakup, and I haven’t heard anything from her.

I went into the sitting room and saw her seated comfortably on the couch with her legs crossed, while taking a sip of her drink.

“You are finally here.” she flashed me her usual seductive smile, which I ignored.

“Why are you here?” I asked as I made my way to her.

“Is that how you welcome an old-time friend or should I say lover,” she asked with a grin and took another sip of her drink.

I stood before her and directly stared into her eyes, but she met my gaze and stared back with no fear in her.

“I’m here because I have something to tell you.” she kept the glass on the table with her eyes still on me.

“I don’t have time for whatever you have to say, make yourself comfortable and leave.” I tried walking away, but she held my hand.

“Get your hand off me.” I warned and hit her hand away from mine. “You hate me this much?” she asked, sounding hurt.

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before speaking. ”I don’t hate you, I’m just in love with another.”

She scoffed at my words before speaking, “You’ve changed a lot, you are no longer the dominant and aggressive alpha Eric I used to know.” she smiled evilly at me and tried to touch my chest, but I took her hand off.

“I might have changed a lot, but that doesn’t mean you should overstay your welcome. Tell me why you are here.” I asked, irritated, as I took the couch opposite her.

She smiled evilly at me and remained silent.

“If you have nothing to say, then I will have to leave.” I stood up from the couch and was about to walk away when her next word stopped me.

“Won’t you love to see your son?” she asked from behind me.

I turned around as an uncomfortable feeling bloomed in my chest.

“What did you say?” I asked, as my blood ran cold.

She grinned at me and took out her phone from her purse and handed it over to me. “Have it.” I stared at her with raised and confused eyebrows. “What is this?” I asked as I took the phone from her. “Check it out yourself.” She urged with a victorious grin.

I stared at her for a while before moving my gaze to the phone and suddenly, goosebumps ran all over my body with what I saw.

“Who is this?” I asked as my eyes dilated in fear.

”Our child, he is a year and a few months old.” she grinned at me with a victorious smile on her face.

“That’s impossible. How did you get pregnant? You were supposed to be on drugs.” I yelled in anger.

She chuckled evilly and stood to her feet. “I stopped taking those drugs a long time ago. You think you could take me for a fool, you knew you never had the intention of getting married to me. All you wanted was a sex slave in bed.” she muttered angrily and tapped her foot on the floor.

I ignored her blabbering, and took a good look at the picture of the little child on her phone.

With his physical appearance, one wouldn’t deny he was my child. He has bright-green eyes just like mine, dark thick hair and my skin tone. He was amazingly, a child photocopy of me.

I stared at the picture one more time, but shook my head in disbelief. Maybe this is not my child, Sophie was playing games with me.

“You think you can fool with me, whose baby is this because I know it’s definitely not my child.” I declared firmly.

She chuckled loudly, clapped both her hands together and stood before me. ”I knew you wouldn’t accept this child, so I decided to do it the easy way.” She spoke In a serious tone while I stared at her confused, as I watched her walk back to her seat.

She opened her bag, took out a small box, walked back to me and handed it over to me.

“What is this?” I asked as I took the box from her.

“Open it, you will see.” she beamed evilly, went back to her seat and sat majestically.

I stared at the box for a while and wondered what was inside. I stared back at Sophie and noticed she was calm and composed. Curious, I opened the box and the moment I opened the box I saw a piece of cut hair wrapped in a nylon bag, a baby spoon, napkin, and toothbrush. “What are all these?” I asked as I stared at the items in the box.

“What do you think they are for?” she asked with a big grin on her face as she took another sip of her drink.

I moved my gaze back to the box and glared at the item confused when suddenly, realization hits me.

“You brought this for a DNA test.” I asked, stunned.

She giggled happily and applauded me with a clap. “How wise and intelligent of you to pick it so fast.” she smiled and took another sip of her drink.

I stared at the things in the box and didn’t know what to say or how to feel about this. If Sophie could bring all this and demanded to do a DNA test then she must be really confident and sure about this.

“When you are done with the DNA test you can call me.” she stood up from the couch, walked up to me and placed a kiss on my cheek “See you around.” She said and tried walking away, but I stopped her by holding her left wrist.

“Where is he.” I asked,

She flashed an evil smile and said, ”When you are done with the DNA test, call me.” she flashed a victorious smile and walked away.

I groaned as I roughly ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.

How on earth did I allow such a thing happen, why was I so careless not to notice Sophie wasn’t on medication anymore.

“Shit.” I yelled angrily and stared at the box in my hands as an uncomfortable feeling bloomed in my chest.

If this child is truly mine, then I’m in for a big problem. I’m an alpha and my child and especially my first child is supposed to be with me in case his power starts manifesting in a much younger age just like mine.

If this child is truly mine, then I don’t know how to explain this to Victoria, what will she think of me, will she agree to stay with me after knowing another woman had my child.

“Shit.” I yelled angrily and walked upstairs to my room. I pushed the door open and walked in. I dropped the box on my working table and collapsed on the bed while staring at the box on the table.

I was never careless when it comes to sex with women. I always used protection when having sex with my subs, but with Sophie, I made sure she was on drugs, I even paid for the drugs monthly, so I was free to have sex with her without using protection, but I never knew she stopped taking them when she noticed my feelings were growing for Victoria.

”You always complicate things.” My wolf grumbled in anger, which I ignored and began taking off my shoes and threw them away with rage. I also took off my clothes and was left with just my underwear.

Tiredly, I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself from the burning anger running in my blood.

After minutes of pondering in thoughts, I stood up from the bed, walked into the shower and took a quick bath before returning to my room.

I put on a simple wear and sat on my worktable as I stared at the small box in front of me.

I felt tension ran all over my body as Sophie words kept echoing in my head which made me curious on why she would allow herself to get pregnant, ran away, and now came back after a year and few months.

I knew if Sophie could stay away from me all these while and decided to show up now, that means she definitely has a plan and that plan might not be good for me.

I stood up from my worktable, went for my phone and dialed the nurse’s number. It rang a few times before it was picked.

“Sorry, for calling this late.” I apologized when I recalled it was past midnight there.

“It’s okay sir, I’m still awake.”

“Why, is something wrong,” I asked, as I noticed the tiredness in her voice.

“She has been running a hot temperature since 11pm, and it’s just cooling down, so I decided to stay awake in case something happens.” Her words got me restless and anxious.

“How is she?”

“She is fine, sir, there is no need to worry.” she assured me.

“Thank you, I will be coming back to Australia in the next two days. Just take care of her.”

“I will do just that.”

“Thank you.” I ended the call and lay on the bed with my back, while my thoughts were filled with Victoria.

From the look of things, she hasn’t gotten her lost memory, but that does not mean she won’t get it anytime soon.

I thought Victoria and I could finally be together, but I don’t know how she would feel if she finds out I have a child with Sophie.

I stared at the box on the table, and knew I needed to do the test before I could conclude anything.

Quickly, I picked up my phone and wanted to call my personal doctor, but I decided it was best to do the test in Australia. Doing the test here, I believe the result might get manipulated because Sophie was a good friend to doctor Sam, my personal doctor.

I kept back the phone and forcefully closed my eyes to take a nap.

I woke up a few hours later and realized it was already past 5pm. I went for my phone and saw the notification light blinking, indicating I have a new notification.

I picked up the phone and saw I had a few missed calls from father, which made me sigh and dropped back the phone.

He almost frustrated me today, and here he was calling.

Tiredly, I left the bed, went downstairs, and met dad seated on the couch having a conversation with one of my men. “What are you doing here?” I asked as I made my way to them.

”Is that how you welcome your father,” dad asked sarcastically and took a sip of his drink.

“Greetings, alpha.” the man talking to father lowered his head in respect and left me and dad in the living room.

I ignored Dad, went to the bar, took out a bottle of whiskey and made my way back to the couch.

”You were lucky out there.” Dad said with a chuckle, while I ignored him and took a sip of my drink.

“I’ve been calling you, and you weren’t picking up, so I decided to come check on…” I did not let dad finish speaking before cutting him off. “You almost ruined my life a few hours ago, and here you are acting like everything was okay.” I yelled angrily.
