I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

She’s staring at me with hatred , hatred that I don’t want her to feel , but how could I convince her otherwise if she won’t listen to me ?

“You say that , but…” , “But nothing Eleia .” I cut her off , “Did I give you any reason to not trust me ? What did I do ?” My eyebrows scrunch together , but I hate that my face is showing what I feel .

“The way you treat me is exhausting . I want to be loved and you keep me at arms length .” She snaps , looking like she’s losing her mind slowly .

Her green eyes are flicking everywhere as she tugs at her dark locks .

“Hey .” I cup her cheek , trying to draw her attention to me .

“I don’t keep you at arms length Eleia , I am letting you rest .” I frown , “I don’t care if it’s Regan’s , the important thing is , it’s yours and I don’t want to put you or it in harms way .”

I sound a little too cheesy , almost like Stefan , but it is sort of his words that I am using , but I do agree with it .

I can love any child and some day , this baby would be ours .

Our to have , ours to raise , ours to love .

I love the unborn pup already just because he or she is apart of my mate .

“Do you promise ?” Her eyebrows raise , her eyes glassy , the whites of her eyes are slightly red , her long dark lashes wet , most of them sticking together .

“I promise .” I drag my thumb over her bottom l*p that is curled into a pout .

“I love you Eleia , I love this little rascal growing inside of you .” My hand drags down to her bump and her chest shakes as she sniffs .noveldrama

“I love you too .” Her smile is weary as a single tear rolls down her cheek .

“I am going to claim that pack and no kids under the age of eighteen will be hurt , I promise that too .” I roll my eyes and she chews on her bottom l*p , nodding .

“Thank you .” She smiles , “And we will have new members joining us .”

“Do you think they could be trusted ?” I ask and she shrugs , “I don’t know .” I mutter , “They already know that Regan is dead , they would feel it .” She explains and it makes sense .

It’s best if I go now .

“Then I will see you later and I promise that I will make it up to you .” I smile and her lips pressed into a thin line tells me she is unhappy about everything I am saying .

“Okay ?” I ask and she just nods .

I lean forward , pressing my lips to her temple then her nose and then her mouth .

“Get rest , tonight is going to be busy .” I k**s her again before standing , my eyes stay on her and I watch her cheeks heat , her lips curling up into a smile .

I leave her in the room , finding Stefan and Rosie in the living room as I come down stairs .

“Stefan .” I call out to him and he sighs , “I’m coming .” He stands up from the couch , kissing Rosie before joining me as we head to the cars parked outside .

I watch as the men come out with a box and I grin as they halt in front of me .

I open it , smiling at Regan’s lifeless eyes , his head sitting in the box like a trophy .

“Maybe I should stuff him and hang him on the wall in the dungeon .” I grin , making Stefan snort .

“Would be an example .” He mutters and I click my tongue and the man loads the box into the trunk as we get in .

Five black SUV’s drive behind me and Stefan .

“Knock knock .” I grin and Stefan turns to look at me with a raised brow , sighing , “Who’s there ?” He asks bored .

“Not Regan because he can’t even knock .” I chuckle and he tuts , shaking his head in disappointment .

I thought it was funny .

“You shouldn’t make jokes dude .” Stefan chuckles , staring out of the window .

“I can and I will .” I keep my chin up , smirking .

Today is the day it all ends .

Arriving at the gate of his pack , there aren’t even guards and we speed through , stopping right by the gate and we climb out .

One of my warriors grab the box from my trunk and I grin all we way to their pack house .

A swarm of people come out , the first person a man , Regan’s father , the next his mate , Regan’s mum .

“What did you do ?” He seethes and I halt in my steps , Stefan standing slightly behind me to my right .

“What did I do ?” I cross my arms over my chest , standing tall as his father inches closer .

“I apologize , but this pack in now mine .” I snap my fingers and my warrior standing to my left drops the box and Regan’s head rolls out .

His mum lets out a heart breaking scream , “No !” She runs forward , her eyes dark as she charges at me , but I don’t move until she’s right in front of me .

My hand snaps forward and my fingers curl around her throat as I lift her off the ground .

Her hands grab my wrist , fear in her eyes as well as darkness and sadness .

Holding her up in front of me , I glance past her at Regan’s father .

The proud man who encouraged his kid to kill a little girl .

He steps forward and I c**k my head at him , “Are you really going to come at me while I have her life in my hand ?” I ask , squeezing her throat and she heaves as her air is cut off .

Her legs kick frantically , but with my arm stretched out straight , she is nowhere close to touching me .

Regan’s dad halts , his jaw tensing more and more the longer he stares at me .

“Let her go .” His voice shakes and I laugh .

“Then kneel , because I beat your alpha , I killed him and now this pack is mine too .” I seethe and his eyes squeeze shut before he kneels .

I glance back at Stefan as I let his mate’s feet touch the ground .

“Now .” I mutter and he nods , striding forward and he grabs Regan’s dad by the throat and I walk the mother back to next to her mate .

I glance at Stefan and we both nod before we slip the silver knives out of our back pockets and slice their throats before stabbing them in their hearts .

The instantly drop , falling onto one another while everyone around us gasp .

“So this is how it’s going to go .” I smile , looking around and everyone’s attention is on me .

I never felt this kind of power , the authority to make them do what I want is amazing .

The fear is delicious .

“Eighteen and under , I want them on one side and the rest on the other side .” I demand , flipping the knife between my fingers .

Some mothers move with their children to the kids side and I hate to be the monster , but they aren’t staying .

Everyone is gathered quickly in two groups and I stride over to the kids , some moms pulling their children into their arms .

“I do apologize , but you need to go with the rest .” I keep a straight face .

“No , these are our kids .” The one screams , sounding terrified .

“I don’t care . They will have better lives with you gone .” I snap and on that note , the rest of my warriors start to slaughter the rest of the adults .

Some run , some scream and some tries to fight back but fail .

“Stop !” A girl comes out , her eyes fiercely dark and I turn my gaze to the girl coming out of the pack house .

“Oh , hiding – are you ?” I grin and she stomps down the stairs , striding towards me .

“This is my pack , what are you doing ?” She snaps fearlessly , her canines extended .

“Luna , I presume ?” I sarcastically bow my head and she inches closer , being braver than Regan ever was .

“Do not speak to me like that .” She snarls and I want to laugh .

I could tell she was an alpha’s daughter .

“Who’s your father ?” I beam and she snorts , shaking her head .

“None of your business .” She shrugs , acting like it might all blow over and I would back away just because she’s still standing .

“It is , this is now my pack and you are demoted . But I will give you an out if you want , you could run along and head home to dear old dad .” I grin , making her take heavy breaths as I inch closer .

“I am not going anywhere , but you are . This pack is not alone and I will fight you to save them .” She seethes , but she missed the slaughter and I can’t help but laugh as I look around .

Her gaze follows mine and when our eyes lock , there are tears .

“Poor thing .” I sigh , c*****g my head .

“If you want to fight , let’s fight .” I hold the knife in my hand , smiling at her .

“You are the devil .” She seethes before shifting and I stare at her brown wolf , rolling my eyes at her small size .

“Come on .” I challenge her and she charges at me , running full speed and when she launches at me , I stap her in the chest as I slide underneath her , a painful cry escaping her before she falls to the floor , shifting back to human , choking on the b***d coming out of her mouth and I stand , walking over to her .

“You should have taken the out . You are not trained .” I shrug and she wants to say something , but she stops breathing .

Cries of children rip through the air and I raise my gaze , “If you all want to come home with us , to join your new pack , you are welcome . But one disobeying thing you say or do – I will kick you out , you’d be alone , a rogue or I would simply kill you .” I shrug , waiting for them to make a choice and most of them bow .

I finally win .
