I Rejected You , Alpha

You’re now mine

ELEIA'S POV

--

With his hand on my back , we enter the large home and it's quiet .

"Is this your alpha’s pack house ?" I mutter in a soft voice and he chuckles , his deep voice making me tingle everywhere .

"This is my house , I am the alpha ." He smiles and my eyes widen in shock .

He’s an alpa too ?

He has a house to himself ?

What if he’s like Regan ?

What if he’s going to use me and then leave ?

I gulp , trying to think of something else , anything else to occupy my mind .

"Aren't you scared of an attack ?" I raise my eyebrows as I glance at him and he shakes his head , I’d rather talk about something else than live in my mind right now .

"No , there are patrols and my beta does live with me , for now ." He shrugs , his black hair still damp .

"I meant to thank you ." I smile , standing in just his shirt that fits me like a dress .

He stares at me , his ocean orbs taking me in as a wide smile crawls up his face .

“Well a damsel in distress needs her knight on a white horse .” He grins as if he’s that man .

‘Maybe he is .’ Crystal chimes hopefully , but hope is just another thing that is to be crushed at some point .

“Stefan !” He calls out to goddess knows who .

“In here !” A deep voice comes from open doorway that has no door and he takes my hand , tugging me into a pure white kitchen , silver utensils everywhere with black details around .

This is a beautiful kitchen .

My eyes land on the light brown haired man , his honey orbs staring at me in confusion .

"Aiden ? Who's this ?" He grins .

At least he looks kind .

"Stefan , meet my mate , Eleia ." Aiden's eyes bore into me , proudness clear in his expression and I blush , feeling like I'm being showcased to his beta .

"Wearing your shirt ?" Stefan tuts teasingly , "The woods isn't for that ." He teases and I chew on my bottom lip nervously .

Aiden rolls his eyes , "Cut it out ." He warns and Stefan sighs before walking over to me , "I'm sorry , it's habits . You'll get use to it . It's nice to meet you Eleia , beautiful name by the way ." He winks and Aiden points a finger at him , "Mine ." He warns and every fibre of my body tingles in his possessiveness .

"Nice to meet you too , Stefan ." I nod , smiling and I can't remember when I last felt so safe and secure .

"Does this mean no more cuddles for us ?" Stefan pouts at Aiden and I giggle , sucking my lips into my mouth as I try to stop laughing .

"Funny ." Aiden c***s his head and I admire how handsome he is , but I hiss in pain when his hand rests on the newest whiplash on my back .

He rips his hand off , eyes wide as he stares at me in shock , "Are you okay ?" He asks concerned and I gulp , nodding .

"No ." Stefan steps closer , grabbing my arms , "Her back ." He nods to Aiden and before I could stop him , he lifts my shirt , exposing my behind but I knew he wasn't looking at my ass with all the gashes on my back .

"Eleia ." Aiden gasps and I could feel his anger radiate off him , a source of power that has me shivering in fear .

"Who did this to you ?" He grits out , his voice lower than normal and a sensation tingles between my thighs .

"Please stop ." I beg as I stare up at Stefan and he let's my wrists go as Aiden drops his shirt .

His hand gently rests on my shoulder before he turns me to him , tears already clouding my eyes , "Who did this ?" He grits out , demanding an answer I can't give .

"I don't know ." I sigh , my eyes meeting the tiled floor below my feet .

"What do you mean you don't know ?" Stefan scoffs and I'm afraid they might think I'm lying .

"We're usually blindfolded ." I croak , a tear rolling down my cheek and I notice Aiden's hands fist beside his body .

This is it , he's going to hit me...

His hand lifts and I flinch as he opens it and cups my cheek .

"I won't hurt you Eleia ." The warmth of his palm against my skin makes me calm .

"What pack are you from ?" Stefan asks and it occurs to me I don't know what pack this is and Aiden never asked where I was from .

"I'm from the Night Pack ." I shrug , knowing we don't have a lot of enemies .

Aiden and Stefan give each other a knowing look , a look that makes my insides turn out .

"What's your pack's name ?" I ask and Aiden sighs , looking deeply into my eyes , "Eleia , we're the Golden Wolf pack ." He sighs and the blood drains from my face as I recognise the name .

"You're the enemy ?" I gulp , suddenly afraid for my life .

"Relax , we won't hurt you ." Stefan waves it off , he is such a chilled person , it kind of scares me .

Aiden is Regan's rival , the worst of the worst and I heard that he killed his own sister when they were kids .

I take a step back , fear coursing through me , "Eleia , why were you so far from your own pack ?" Aiden asks , his ocean orbs boring into me .

I glance at Stefan and then back at Aiden , not either of them aggressive or intimidating .

"Can we speak in private ?" I nervously gulp , hoping that when I tell him the truth , he won't kill me for being Regan's ex mate .

"Of course ." Aiden holds out his hand and even though I should feel scared , I'm not .

I take his hand and he leads me up the to the third floor , on the top where the staircase ends is just one door , no hall , nothing but the door and he opens it , a huge room coming into view .

"Wow ." I gasp as I take in the interior , everything was black with white details and a huge ass bed that could fit eight people if it needed to .

"So , talk ." Aiden urges me on and I could tell he was an impatient man , curious one too .

"I was Regan's mate ." I mutter as I turn to look at him and his mouth drops agape , "Did you sleep with him ?" Is the first question he asks , his jaw tensing and the air leaves my lungs at the intensity he's staring at me with .

I look at the black tiled below me , nodding and a low growl escapes his lips , "Then why are you here ?" He grits out and tears cloud my vision as the memories haunt my thoughts .

I begin to sob as I fall to the floor , my head shaking as I cry and I heavenas I try to catch my breath .

He kneels in front of me , pulling me into his arms , careful not to touch my back , "He rejected me right after ." I sob into his chest , his spicy scent calming me .

"He did what ?" He grits out , his hold around my shoulder tightening , as if he wants to protect me from what already happened .

" He shifted and chased me off the pack lands , telling me to never come back and I think he was ashamed of me ." My body jerks in his arms as Regan's snarling was loud in my mind .

"He almost bit me , and I think he knew ." I cry , "He saw my marks and called it beautiful ." I sob further , realising that he should have known , he didn't get angry , he didn't care , he only acted like he loved me .

Regan Night is a true heartless monster .

"Hush ." Aiden scoops me off the floor , walking over to the bed with me and he sits down with me cradled in his lap , swaying me as if I were a child .

"Where are your parents Eleia ?" He whispers , leaving a chaste kiss on the side of my head .

"Dead ." I croak out before sobbing further .

Hiss warmth and calm effect on me has me crying like a child , but I feel so safe , like it's the one place I can actually feel my feelings , like I can be myself .

"He will pay Eleia , and I do not care if you were his mate first , you're mine now ." He leaves kisses all over the top of my head and after a few minutes , I settle down .

"Let's get you cleaned ." He lifts me up and walks me to his en-suite bathroom .

"I can walk ." I whisper and he smiles at me , a smile that has my insides twisting out , "I know ," he whispers back before placing me down onto my feet on a rug .

"Shower or bathe ?" He asks , motioning to the large cubicle surrounded by glass that has built in , tiled benches and the large bathtub .

I have never taken a bath before , unless I can count the time where some boy pushed me into an icy pond when I was small .

"What's the matter ?" He asks when I stare at the bathtub for too long .

"I have never taken a bath ." I sigh and his eyes widen , a small smile tugging at his lips , "Then let me show you what you're missing ." He grins before filling the bath with rosy scented bubbles and I watch in amusement as the bath fills with bubbles to the top , the water a little below where I could see the bubbles form .

"Come on ." He tugs his shorts down and it pools at his feet and my eyes are focused on his large junk .

"Are you joining me ?" I manage to mutter once I got over the shock .

"Well , I did save you ." He winks as he steps closer , his fingers trailing up my thighs before he grabs the hem of the shirt and I lift my arms as he removes the material from my body , tossing it aside before he takes my hand and leads me to the tub .
