I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

“I don’t give a s**t , tell her what I told you and get her out of that place , remember, you owe me .” I grit out as I pull the phone away from my ear , ending the call .

I sit on the bed , watching my little mate staring wide eyed at the clothes people are bringing in .

The happiness in her eyes is something I won’t ever forget .

“Did you have clothes , back the Night Pack ?” I ask , my thumb dragging across my bottom l*p as I stare at her as she trails her fingers over the racks of clothes .

“I had pajama’s and my uniform .” She shrugs and my jaw tenses at the information .

“What if you were not working that day ?” I raise my brows and she scoffs , shaking her head , “I worked since I was five…” she shrugs , “Everyday .” She blows out a breath , sounding so exhausted .

“Are you telling me that they used you as child labour ?” I sit up , resting my elbows on my knees , my fingers pressed together .

“Well yeah , it’s like chores .” She shrugs , so oblivious that kids that young should not work .

It’s crucial for kids to play , laugh , sleep a lot , eat to grow…

I stare at her skinny legs , chewing on my bottom l*p .

“Tell me , how often did you eat ?”

She hums , thinking about it , “When I was young I ate everyday , once at night and since I was fifteen , I ate every second day , the Luna said it was good to be thin like models and we could become ones if we wanted .” She shrugs , sighing .

“Eleia .” Her name feels like heaven on my tongue , “Yeah ?” Her dark hair whips around , green eyes piercing into my blue ones .

“They could all go to jail for that .” I grin and her eyes widen , “All of them ?” She croaks out .

“The guilty ones , the beta’s , warriors in charge and the alpha , former and current .” I grin and her eyes light up , “And what about the innocent ?” , I sigh , sitting back , “Well my pretty little mate , or they ask for shelter with other packs and be part of another pack or they could become rogues .”

She shakes her head , “No , they don’t deserve that . Who would take them in ?” She asks with a worried look in her eyes .

I could tell that she was a person with a big heart , yet strong and independent .

“I would .” I shrug and she stares at me dumbfounded , “You would ?” She asks agape , her eyes becoming glassy and I tug as I stand to my feet .

I close the distance in between us , smiling , “For you , I would do anything .” I wink as I snake my arms around her waist and she smiles at me .

“I don’t deserve you .” She pouts , her eyelashes batting as she stares up at me .

“You deserve everything in this world .” I cup her cheek , my thumb rubbing the flesh right below her eye .

Those green orbs have me wanting to roll over , as if they were soft green grass .

“Including me .” I wink at her and my phone vibrates in my pocket .Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I c**k my head , rolling my eyes before I dig my phone out of my pocket , lifting it into the air and I grin at the text .

“After I deliver the girl , we’re even .”

I swipe the screen up , opening the chat box , “Deal.” Even thought I saved his daughter’s

life , we’re never going to be even , but to have Eleia’s mind eased , it’s worth it .

“What is it ?” She asks , her head tilting to the side so innocently .

“We’ll have your friend by the end of today or tomorrow.” I shrug and a bright smile tugs at her lips , her arms raise and locks behind my neck , her body slamming against mine as she stands on her toes before she squeals in excitement , her hold on me almost choking me , but I let her as her head rests against my chest .

I would let her take my air away if it meant for her to be happy .

Her hold on me weakens , “I told you I would find a way Eleia .” I croak out as my lungs fill with air .

She steps back , her feet flattening against the floor , her eyes glinting in joy , “Thank you .” The sincere adoration in her voice makes my heart race and I nod as I stare down at her .

My fingers rake through the ends of her brown locks , “I would do anything for you .” I breathe out before I cup her cheek and k**s her on the forehead .

“Anything ?” She asks with a hint of tease in her tone , “Anything but that , for now .” I chuckle as my lips linger against her temple still .

“Why ?” She steps back , her hands holding mine as she stares up at me , her bottom l*p pushed out into a pout .

“Can you honestly tell me that you would be okay with that ? Your body is weak from the rejection , I can see how exhausted you are , even behind that beautiful smile of yours .” I hook my index finger under her chin , staring down into her forest orbs , “Let me take care of you Eleia , it’s what I was born for .”

I can’t deny the intensity building between the two of us , but one of us needs to be strong and I would be , for her .

I give it a few days before I rail into her from every angle there is .

‘What about me ? When can I rail into my mate ?’ Jamesy , my wolf asks in a dominant tone and I shrug him off .

That’s all he wants to do , but I need to take care of her first .

Her gaze drops down to our hands and she rubs her thumb over the top of my hand , her eyes slowly raising and she stares up at me through her lashes , those long , thick lashes that make her green eyes look more vibrant .

” But what if I want to take care of you ?” Her shoulders raise momentarily as she shrugs and I inhale a sharp breath .

“You can , just not now .” I tut and the way she slowly pushes her bottom l*p out has my hard on pulsing .

“Let’s pick some clothes .” I try to change the subject , “What do you like ? Skirts ? Jeans ? Shorts ? You will need ball gowns of course , but what do you like ?” I ask as my eyes scan the racks of clothes they rolled into my room .

My sister would have loved this , she always loved to dress up .

“I don’t know .” Eleia shrugs cluelessly and I hate that she doesn’t know .

What kind of girl doesn’t know what style she likes ?

I probably sound like a high class girl in high school right now , but I want her to try everything .

“Then throw me a fashion show Eleia .” My arms spread wide and she giggles , “A what ?” , my smile drops , “Are you serious ?” I c**k my head at her and she chews on her bottom l*p , “It’s when a girl or guy , tries clothes on and show people . In this case , you’re going to try in and I am the person you’re showing .” I shrug and it’s like little pieces falling into place as she realises .

“Okay .” She beams , looking around all confused , “But where do I start ?” Her nose scrunches up and I chuckle at how cute she is .

“Anywhere you damn like .” I wink as I plop down onto the be .

It’s like a light going on , as if the sun was rising after a hundred years of darkness and she begins to strip , right in front of me , her bare body exposed as she pulls clothes from hangers and she tries them on .

I can not believe how good she looks in everything , but my favourite is still her wearing nothing but my t – shirt .

“I really like this .” She mutters as she stands in my mirror , wearing a black skirt with a pastel pink cropped top , but the skirt was high waisted , so it hid her stomach .

“You look beautiful , but that’s a bit , I don’t know …” , “Too much like my uniform .” She sighs and I nod , I guess it’s the only clothes she’s comfortable in .

“Well I liked those shorts .” She points at the blue Jean shorts and I chuckle , “They did make your a*s look good .” I shrug and she rolls her eyes , “I have no a*s .” She scoffs and even if she thinks she doesn’t , I can see the bump it makes and even if it’s small , it’s still mine .

All mine .

How ironic is it that she ends up being my mate , after she was Regan’s ?

Regan is going to f*****g pay for what he did and I am going to show him how to treat a girl , I am going to show him how he should have treated his girl .

Anger brews in my chest as I think about the things she told me .

How can he be so careless ? Heartless… a f*****g monster .

I hope he never finds love , because he will destroy that too .
