REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

“Wear this.” Sonia took out a blue dress from the closet for me. “I’m not wearing that.” I murmured,

She sighed and sat on the bed. “What do you want?” she asked tiredly. “I just want to stay at home.” I grumbled and lay on the bed, “That will not happen, stand up.” She pulled me up from the bed and handed the blue dress to me,

“Wear this”. I groaned and took the dress from her. I changed into the dress and packed my hair in a bun.

“Sit, let me do a light makeup on you.” Sonia suggested.

“No, thanks.” I murmured and stared at the mirror before going to the door.

“Have fun”. I heard Sonia’s voice, which made me scoff as I left the apartment.

I went out of the apartment and met Kelvin standing by a car I assumed was his.

“Beautiful”. He muttered those words and gently kissed my cheek. I felt shy because of his reaction and looked away.

He laughed softly and opened the door for me. “Where are we going?” I asked as soon as we entered the car.

“You will find out soon.” He beamed at me and drove off.

“Something is bothering you. What is it? “, he asked.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Nothing”. I murmured.

“You are lying”. He declared firmly, like he was so sure of it. I groaned and stared out the window, which made him drop the topic and drove off in silence.

“We are here.” He spoke up while driving into a parking lot.

I looked around and noticed we were in a classic restaurant, a place I had never dreamt of coming to.

“I know you’ll like this place.” he said those words as he came out of the car.

I tried to open my door, but he told me not to, and opened the door himself.

“Thank you.” I mumbled with a smile.

“You are welcome.” He smiled at me and led the way.

We got in, and we were about to take our seat when I heard a lady’s voice calling out to Kelvin.

“Shit, I hope she’s not his wife or girlfriend”. I murmured to myself. I turned around in the direction of the voice and saw Eric seated with the lady, while he glared at me with cold eyes that brought shivers to my body.

”Shit.” I grumbled.

“Come.” Kelvin took my hand and led me to their table.

“You are also here.” the lady exclaimed excitedly.

I took a better look at her and realized she was the same lady I saw with Eric in his father’s birthday party.

Seeing them together, I felt a bit jealous and angry.

“We are here to have dinner.” Kelvin spoke up.

“Really? That’s nice, why don’t you join us. Sir Kelvin.” she pleaded

“We will, if she agrees.” he said those words while staring at me. I stared at him with startled eyes, but did not say a word.

“Hey, hello”. The lady smiled at me. It was obvious she didn’t remember me.

“Hi.”I replied in a friendly manner. “Do you mind joining us.” she asked while staring at me with curious eyes. “Not at all.” I replied.

“Then please sit.” she pointed at the seat in front of her.

“Thank you.”

How on Earth did I end up in such an awkward situation.

I stared at Kelvin, who gave me an assuring smile while he sat beside me.

“How are you, Eric.” Kelvin asked in a friendly manner, which made me assume they were friends.

“Good .” Eric murmured while he settled his angry gaze on me.

It was obvious he really hated me.

“I never knew you were in town, sir”. She expressed those words to Kelvin. Who only laughed and stared at me.

”I’ve told you to call me Kelvin. No need for formalities.” he spoke in a friendly manner.

“Well, I’m doing my best.” She said those words with a soft chuckle.

He laughed at her words and shook his head.

In a few minutes, the menu was brought to us. “What will you have? ” Kelvin asked. I stared at the menu and noticed the food was really expensive, and I was finding it difficult to make a choice.

“Take whatever you wanna take, don’t look at the price.” he whispered into my ear, making his hot breath bring shivers to my body. I turned and stared at him, wondering how he was able to read my thoughts.

“I’ll have whatever you are having.” I said those words and handed the menu back to the server.

“So how long will you be in town?” She asked,

“Four months.” He replied.

“Wow, that’s nice.”she responded and peered at me with curiosity.

“Hey, I’m Sophie.” she brought forth her hand to me.

“I’m Victoria”. I took her hand in mine.

“Nice meeting you.” she smiled widely at me and took back her hand.

I stared at her and noticed how expensive the jewelries and dress she was putting on, everything in her worth thousands of dollars, which made me wonder what she does for a living.

They brought in the food, and we all ate in silence.

Occasionally, I caught Eric’s gaze on me, and all I could do was to swallow nervously and look away.

“So, Vicky, what do you do for a living?.” She asked, I swallowed nervously and took a sip of my drink.

“I’m a bartender.” I whispered.

“Bartender?”. She asked, shocked, while staring at Kelvin.

“Yeah.”

“Wow”. She chuckled softly, “I never knew Kelvin would have anything to do with a person as low as that”. She murmured to herself, but I heard her.

“Sophie”. Kelvin spoke in annoyance.

”I’m sorry, I don’t mean it that way.” She apologized. “I just couldn’t believe a person as high as Minister Kelvin would make friends with bartenders.” She said those words while staring at me.

I signed and took a sip of my drink.

“Excuse me, I need to visit the restroom”. She stood on her feet and walked away.

“What are you doing here”. Eric asked in anger the moment she left.

“She is here with me, Eric.” Kelvin spoke calmly.

“I don’t care, I just don’t want this girl anywhere close to me.” He muttered those words while staring at me with so much hate in his eyes.

“Why? Because she is your mate?” Kelvin demanded in annoyance.

“Shit!” I whispered.

Hearing Kelvin say that, made me realize he was also a werewolf. That explains how he knew Eric.

“She is not my mate, and can never be my mate.” Eric grunted those words with so much anger in him.
