Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate

Chapter 21

“Why you rejected me?"

"I am hungry! Give me food!"

Dominic stomped like a child as he threw tantrums like a child while sitting on the kitchen slab.

Athena who was stirring the soup gave him an irritated look.She had enough of him as he has been eating her head for the last thirty minutes.

"Will you shut up and sit straight or should I walk away?!"

She threatened with the spatula holding in front of his face which successfully intimidated him.He looked at her with widened eyes before shutting down.

"Goddess, you are scary! Have you always been like this?" He mumbled under his breath which she heard and glared at him once again.

"No, since I have been destined to be your mate, I turned like this."She snapped while concentrating back on cooking.

"Hey, don’t make it sound like a bad thing.Girls are dying to be my mate."

He snapped back. She glared at him after hearing that but didn‘t reply to him because it was going to lead to an unending banter.

And she doesn’t want to have that conversation with a drunk Dominic.

Heck she doesn’t want it with a sober Dominic as well! It’s pointless now!

"Whatever, you still didn‘t tell me how much you drank to stand my presence this long?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Why won’t I be able to stand your presence? I love your scent." He said cheekily before taking a strand of her hair and sniffing it.

She immediately stepped back away from him with a deep frown on her face.

Her heart started beating loudly after that.

"What are you doing? Are you that drunk to forget that you rejected me, that you hate me?" She asked with a thudded heart.

She didn‘t like him when he was drunk.

But she wasn’t a big fan of his sober self as well.

"I...don‘t...remember."

He looked away from her as he grumbled under his breath.

She frowned at him.

But again decided to stay quiet.

Goddess, she wanted to rest! After that they both went silent for a few moments.

But he didn’t stop disturbing her.

He kept touching her hair, her hands and even tried to kiss her.He earned glares everytime from her and a few times earned a few smack from here and there.

"Why did you have to get drunk?!"

She snapped in annoyance before turning off the gas and serving him the soup she made for him.

"Why do you have to be a rogue?"

He questioned back suddenly, stopping her from walking toward the dining table.

She stopped and looked at him with a blank look.

"How is that my fault? What do you know about me?! Do you even know anything about me? Do you know how much I have gone through all my life? And here you are talking as if it’s my fault! How dare you?"

She exclaimed in anger while fuming.She couldn’t take it anymore.She was trying her best to not have any kind of conversation with him but that was enough.

How could he say something like that?! He suddenly got down the kitchen slab and took the bowl of soup from her before walking out of the room.

She scowled at him before following after him while fuming.

"You can’t walk away just like this now! You started the conversation and you have to finish it! "She snapped at him but he once again ignored her as he sat down.He started to sip on the soup and let out a sigh of satisfaction as he tasted the soup.

"So delicious, I wish I could have your handmade cooked foods everyday." He said with a smirk, earning a scowl for him.

She was so frustrated at that moment that she didn’t pay heed t o that.

"What’s wrong with you?! Answer me! How could you say something like that without knowing anything?" She asked with a deep frown. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"I know enough, Athena.I know enough." He spoke up without looking up.

She looked at him i n confusion.She didn’t try to think about the fact that he called her by her name for the first time.

"What do you mean? What do you know?" She asked as she tried to make sense of his words.

"I know that you don’t deserve to be my mate, rogue, after what you did.How can you still complain after that? After all, it‘s you who didn’t leave me any choices other than rejecting you." He said in a blank tone with a neutral expression on his face.

It seems like he started to come back to his senses slowly.

"What are you talking about? How can you reject me just because I was a rogue, Dominic? Also, you accused me of something which I don’t know anything about.How could you?" She asked in shock and confusion.

"You don‘t know? You don‘t know what you did that night? Is it a fucking joke?" He raised his tone a little.

It looks like he started to remember that night once again.

"I don’t fucking understand you! What are you talking about?! What did I do? Can you tell me that?" She asked in desperation and confusion.

This one question haunted her for almost three years.

She wants to know why he rejected her.

What was her fault? She didn’t deserve such a harsh punishment for something she didn’t know.

On top of that, she clearly remembers the way he treated her.

How he insulted her and broke her heart into pieces.

He destroyed her that day!

"You tricked me, Athena.You tried to destroy me!"

He growled before slamming his hand on the table in anger.

She looked at him in shock but before she could react he walked away.She quickly got up and followed him inside the living room to find him sleeping on the couch.

How could he sleep so fast?!

"Wait! Wake up! Tricked you? Tried to destroy you? How? What do you mean?! Tell me!"

Why you rejected me? tried to wake him up but he didn’t move.

He was in deep slumber.

She sat on the floor with confusion on her face.

Till now she only knew that she was rejected just because she was a rogue and because she was a thief.

Were there any more reasons? What was it?
