REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

I felt a cold shiver run down my spine as I watched Mike talking to Victoria.

I saw her angrily drink all the drink in her cup before she stood up and left mike, who followed her.

”Move the camera outside.” I told the guy, who nodded his head and typed in some figures before the display changed to the camera outside.

I took in a deep breath and shifted uncomfortably on the chair as I watched Victoria rushing out of the club while looking around. It was obvious she was nervously looking for Gracie.

I noticed Mike walking toward her direction, and before I knew it, I saw two of his men taking Victoria away.

”No.” I yelled at the top of my voice as I slammed my hand on the table and stood to my feet.

Furiously, I closed my eyes to calm my anger because I knew my eyes were already turning red.

After a minute of calming my nerves, I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes,

”Thanks.” I did not let those words finish from my mouth before I went to the door.

I hurriedly left the bar and went into the car,

”Take me to Mike’s house.” I muttered in a calm voice, but my anger could be noticed.

As the car took off, I felt an uncomfortable feeling in my chest as the thought of him touching her went through my head.

”Shit.” I grumbled in pain as I felt tension all over my body.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to take it if anything happened to Victoria, and would definitely blame myself for it.

”We are here.” hearing those words, I quickly opened the car and stormed into Mike’s house.

”Good day sir.” one of his men greeted me and without thinking, I grabbed him by his neck and watched him choke for air, while the two men just stood there and watched me with wild eyes filled with fear.

”Were you among the men who touched my mate.” I asked in anger, but he shook his head weakly, and I knew he was about to give up if I didn’t let go of him.

Grunting angrily, I took my hand off his neck, but still held the collar of his shirt.

”After I’m done with Mike, I will come for you all.” I declared those words while staring at the three men who couldn’t meet my gaze. Forcefully, I let go of his shirt and stormed into Mike’s sitting room.

The moment I got into his sitting room, I perceived the fainting scent of Victoria, indicating she was there but not anymore.

I felt my heart thump in fear and my hands became sweaty as the thought of what might have happened to Victoria ran through my brain.

”Micheal.” I yelled his name and rushed upstairs to his room.

I opened different doors but didn’t see him until I opened the last door and saw him seated on his bed with bruises on his face.

Quickly, I rushed over to him, yanked him out of bed and pushed him to the wall. ”Where is Victoria?” I demanded in anger.

”And what business do I have with her…” I did not let those words finish from his mouth before I punched him in the face.

”Don’t taste my patience, where is Victoria.” I yelled while I tightened my grip on his collar. He wailed in pain and struggled to free himself from my grip, but I was far too strong for him.

”Where is Victoria?” I asked while seizing my breath.

He stared at me with fear but did not say a word.

I groaned in anger, flung him on the floor, and loosened my tie.

Furiously, I walked up to him, picked him up from the floor and made him stare directly into my eyes.

”Where is Victoria.” I asked again, this time in a roaring voice, which made him gulp and still did not say a word.

”Micheal.” I screamed his name and slammed his head on the wall. ”Where is Victoria.” I shouted in anger as I felt a sudden different type of fear envelop my body.

”She is dead.”he whispered.

His words made my head spin around the room and my legs so weak that they could no longer carry my body and I had to fall on the floor while dragging Micheal with me.

”What did you just say.” I asked in a trembling voice, hoping I heard him wrong.

”She is dead, but I swear I didn’t kill her.” he begged in a shattering voice.

”No.” I yelled in pain and let go of his shirt.

I felt my head pounding in pain and my wolf howling loudly in anger at what Mike had just announced to me.

”No, no, no.” I yelled at the top of my voice as hot tears came rushing down my cheek.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

This is not true, this can’t be true.

Victoria can’t be dead, the moon goddess can’t do this to me, she can’t allow me to go through such pain.

I took hold of Mike’s collar and forcefully stood up with him. I moved him to the wall and slammed his body against the wall.

”Tell me you are lying.” I begged, hoping this was just one of his tricks, but he shook his head and gulped nervously as he couldn’t meet my gaze.

”No, fucking no, I won’t accept this.” I barked in tears and hit him on the wall,

”Where is she? Give my Victoria back to me.” I begged helplessly.

”She is dead, Eric, but I swear I didn’t kill her.” he muttered out with shaking legs.

”No.” I screamed in pain as I felt my heart shattering to pieces.

”This is not true, this is just a dream.” I murmured to myself as I let go of Mike’s collar and collapsed on the floor.

I closed my eyes and all I could see were her beautiful smiles and beautiful sets of brown eyes.

”No!” I cried out at the top of my voice as I felt a sharp piercing pain in my heart. My wolf was trying to shift me into its form and it took everything in me to keep him at bay.

”I’m sorry, I never planned for all this to happen.” Mike grumbled in a shattering voice.

Hearing those words from him, I quickly rushed to him and punched him in the face, which made him lose one of his teeth.

”Where is Victoria?” I pleaded because I couldn’t put up with the fact that Victoria was dead, I just couldn’t accept it.

He gulped and wailed in pain, but did not say a word.

”Answer me.” I demanded in fear and just then I noticed the door opened and Kelvin walked in.

He stared directly into my eyes before shaking his head. ”This can’t be true.” Kelvin muttered out in pain as he walked towards Mike and took him from me.

”Where is Victoria?” Kelvin asked, while shaking Mike’s arm.

”You are lying, this can’t be true.”he barked as he stared into Mike’s eyes to read his thoughts.

”You kidnapped her.” Kelvin yelled in anger as he stared directly into Mike’s eyes.

I sat there on the floor as hot tears kept rushing down my cheek uncontrollably. I knew I wouldn’t be able to make it if Victoria was actually dead.

I moved my gaze back to Kelvin and saw him shake his head as he let go of Mike’s shirt.

Kelvin groaned in anger as he moved closer to me and gently tapped my shoulders.

”Calm down Eric, I tried reading through his thoughts but discovered I couldn’t access everything in his heart.” he said with a grumble while staring at Mike.

He moved to Mike, took him up from the floor by his collar, dragged him away from the door and made him stand before me.

”Let’s go Eric.” Kelvin muttered, almost like a plea.

I wiped off the tears from my face and slowly stood up from the floor while I followed Kelvin out of the room.

When we got outside, there was no trace of Mike’s men outside, it was obvious they had all run away. My driver rushed to me and tried holding me when he noticed I was finding it difficult to walk properly.

I signaled for him to let me be, and I slowly made my way to the car. I got into my car while Kelvin put Mike’s in his car, and we all drove off.

I screamed and roughly scattered my hair as Mike’s words kept buzzing in my head.

”Victoria can’t be dead.” I tried convincing myself, but it wasn’t helping.

Tiredly, I let the tears flow freely on my cheek and had no control over it. This was a joke. Maybe Mike is just playing with me. It can’t be true, my Victoria can’t be dead, not after all she has gone through.

The car stopped and sent me out of my thoughts. Quickly, I opened the door and rushed over to Kelvin’s car.

I opened the door of his car and dragged Mike out of the car and slammed his back to the wall. ”Tell me you are joking.” I pleaded with tears running down my cheek.

”Tell me you are fucking lying.” I begged, hoping all this was just a joke, but he shook his head in fear and couldn’t say a word.

”Calm down, Eric, we won’t get anything from him like this.” Kelvin removed my grip and dragged mike into my sitting room and made him sit.

”Speak, we are listening.” Kelvin spoke those words calmly, but I could notice the anger and fear in his voice.

After several minutes of silence, Mike bites his lips nervously before stammering, ”I kidnapped…her… From …the…bar and asked my men to put her in the boot, but before we got to my house she was already…”

”You bastard.” I did not let him finish his words before I yanked him off from the chair, ”How dare you, how could you put her in a car boot when she is suffering from panic disorder.” I yelled in anger.

”I never knew, I never knew she had such sickness.” he murmured in fear.

”I will kill you.” I yelled and slammed his head on the wall, giving him a deep cut on his forehead.

Kelvin rushed to me and separated me from Mike.

”Calm down Eric.”

”Don’t tell me to fucking calm down.” I yelled in pain.

”He killed Victoria. He killed the only woman I love, and you stand here and ask me to calm down.” my angry voice echoed in the sitting room.

Kelvin ignored me, took Mike from the floor and made him stare directly into his eyes.

”I can’t see further, his heart is blank.” Kelvin murmured and shook his head, disappointed.

”If she is dead, then where is her dead body?” Kelvin asked, still locking eyes with Mike, who gulped in fear and looked away.

”Answer me.” Kelvin demanded in anger, while I stared at him and realized the color of his eyes were already darker.

”We…we …threw her at the bridge.” he whispered those words to himself, but I could clearly hear him.

Furiously, I pushed Kelvin away and grabbed Mike by his collar as I felt my heartbeat increase.

”What did you say?” I asked in fear, hoping I heard him wrong.

He gulped before speaking, ”We threw her at the bridge after we found out she was dead.” he murmured in a shattering voice.

”No, No, no, tell me you are joking.” I pleaded in tears as I let go of his collar and collapsed on the floor.

”Mine.” my wolf howled in pain and discomfort.

Uncontrollably, I felt my bones cracking, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold my wolf anymore. Without a second thought, I screamed and shifted to my wolf form, tearing my clothes into pieces.

I ran out of the sitting room and ran to the woods. I kept running at high speed as my wolf continued to howl in pain.

I wailed in grief as I felt a sharp cut in my arms, but that couldn’t be compared to the intense pain I felt in my heart.

My whole body was vibrating in pain as I continued running in the woods. With distress, I ran around the woods with Mike’s words ringing in my head.

How can this be possible, how can she die just like that, how can the moon goddess be this cruel to me.

I howled in agony as I stood on the spot, still in my wolf form. Tiredly, I walked around the woods as I felt my wolf shedding tears because of the death of his mate.

After hours of running around, my feet became weak, which made me collapse on the floor and wail in pain as I closed my eyes. With my eyes closed I could still see her in my memory, beautiful, charming and so innocent.

Angrily, I opened my eyes and thumped my forefeet with anger when I realized it was all my fault, she was my mate, and it was my duty to protect her, but I failed at it.

Special POV (Elliot’s POV)

I closed the door and went back to my room. The pain and sorrow I saw in her eyes was a clear indication that she needed my help and I had to help her.

Inhaling deeply, I took my phone from my pocket and dialed my follower’s number. It rang a few times before it was picked.

”Good morning alpha.” he greeted,

”Can you come to my house as quickly as possible.”? I asked,

”I’m actually around.” he responded.

”That’s good, see me in the sitting room.” I ended the call and left my room for the sitting room.

I went downstairs and saw Samuel already seated in the chair. He saw me and quickly stood up, while lowering his head in respect.

I walked to him and flashed him a weak smile before speaking.

”I need your help.” I muttered to him and gestured for him to sit while I took the seat before him.

”I will be glad to help you in any way I can, knowing that you’ve done a lot for me.” he spoke truthfully.

I nodded my head and thought for a while before speaking, ”I want you to practice your new gift on someone.” I murmured.

He furrowed his eyebrows, confused, before speaking. ”The only person I used my gift on is still under the effect of my words even when I tried to reverse back my words.” he spoke in fear.

Staring at him, I knew he was scared of this gift, and still hadn’t gotten used to it, but he was my only option if I really wanted to help Victoria.

”Don’t worry, you don’t have to reverse your words because I want him to stay under the effect of your words for a long time.” I declared those words calmly.

I saw Samuel take a deep breath and nodded his head before speaking, ”Who is this person.” he asked in curiosity.

”Alpha Mike, I believe you know him.” Hearing those words from me, I noticed his eyes widen in fear.
