REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

”A red dress or a purple jumpsuit.” I asked Sonia while placing the clothes in front of me. She rolled her eyes, stood up from the bed, and walked into the bathroom without saying a word to me.

She has been acting this way ever since I told her I was going out on a date with DOM Tim. She never said a word and I find it really strange.

I decided to go with the purple jumpsuit while I kept back the red dress.

Few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom, eyed me from head to toes and walked to bed without saying a word.

”Do you have anything to say?” I asked when I couldn’t ignore her constant gaze on me.

”Yes, I have something to say.” she spat out in anger.

I stared at her with stunned eyes and wondered what was making her this mad with me.

”You are mate to Eric, why do you still go out with DOM Tim, a man you don’t even know.” she asked as she stood up from the bed and walked over to me. ”Eric will be so angry if he finds out you are sleeping with another man, and I wonder what he will do to you.” she shook her head and went back to the bed.

”Listen, I don’t care, Eric and I have nothing in common.” I responded back in anger, ”Of course you have something in common, you are his mate.” Sonia responded.

I groaned, walked over to the bed and stood before her. ”Eric wants me for one thing, and that is to have sex with me, he doesn’t love me or care about me.” I declared firmly and began putting on my shoes.

”So you think DOM Tim is the perfect one, huh? A man who can’t even show his face to you, you think he is the perfect one, huh?” Sonia asked in a mockery tone.

Hearing those words from her, I became defeated and didn’t know what to say to her because, indeed, she was right.

I haven’t seen his face, neither do I know who he really was and yet I was so madly in love with him.

I ignored Sonia and sat in front of the dressing table and started combing my hair. ”Vicky.” Sonia called out my name in anger, but I totally ignored her and continued combing my hair.

She stood up from the bed, walked to me and stood beside me with folded arms while she eyed me with an angry look.

”You should stay away from that man.” she warned seriously.

Angrily, I kept back the comb and moved my gaze to her. ”That is enough.” I warned angered, ”You won’t tell me how to live my life because I don’t tell you how to live yours.” I spoke furiously and began packing my hair.

Sonia stood there beside me but did not say a word for a while before she walked away.

When I saw her walk away, I felt guilty for what I said. She was a good friend who was just worried about me.

”Sonia.” I called out her name with guilt, but she totally ignored me.

I stood up from the chair and was about to make my way to her, but I noticed my phone was ringing and went for it.

”I’m outside waiting for you.” his strong melodious voice spoke over the phone which brought a big smile on my face. ” I’m on my way.” I replied and ended the call.

” I’m truly sorry Sonia, let’s talk about it when I get back.” I smiled at her, but she never returned my smile.

Hurriedly, I picked up my bag and left the room.

I opened the door and hastily left the flat. When I got outside, I spotted a different car parked outside, different from the one he brought last time.

Nervously, I inhaled deeply and walked towards the direction of the car. I got to the car, went to the door and opened it.

I got in and saw DOM Tim still wearing a mask.

”hello.” He greeted nervously,

”Hi.” I murmured,

He stared at me for a while but did not say a word. Without a word, I put on the seat belt and made sure my gaze was outside the window.

I was burning with anger as he drove out. I was happy and delighted when he asked me if we could have dinner because I thought he was going to show his face to me, but alas, I was wrong, he was never going to show his face to me, despite how much he said he wanted me.

”Are you okay.” He asked when he noticed my silence,

I nodded my head to him with my gaze away from him.

We drove in an awkward silence until he stopped the car. I moved my gaze away from the window and stared around.

”What is this place?” I asked, looking around. ”Come down, let me show you.” he smiled at me before leaving the car.

He walked over to my side of the door, opened the car and smiled at me as I came out of the car.

”Wow.” I exclaimed, thrilled as I stared around, ”You like it ”? He asked,

I smiled as I nodded my head at him and walked around.

I was standing in a big garden decorated with flowers and tiny sparkling lights. The surfaces were filled with green grass, so soft and smooth. I smiled widely when I saw a big mat on the floor with different meals and drinks arranged on it.

”How were you able to put all this all up.” I asked, still staring around while he chuckled and stood before me with a big smile on his face.

”This is beautiful.” I blurted happily, still looking around.

”Not as beautiful as you.” he muttered those words while staring directly into my eyes.

I smiled at him and nervously moved away from him as I felt my heart beat increase. Quickly, I walked to where the food was set and sat on the mat, still staring around.

He joined me on the mat, took off his jacket so that he was just in his shirt. I took a glimpse of him and discovered he had a good muscular body.

He met eyes with me, and quickly I looked away.

”Is this yours, or you rented it.” I asked, still staring around.

He kept silent for a while before he responded, ”It’s mine.” he whispered almost to himself, but I could hear him.

”Nice place.” I muttered, it was obvious he was trying his best to hide his identity from me, and I wondered why.

”Are you cold ?” he asked,

”I’m fine.” I smiled at him and looked away.

We sat there in silence for a while until he spoke up. ”Let’s eat.”

”Alright.” I beamed at him and picked up a plate. I put some food on my plate while he did his, by himself.

”You did this yourself?” I asked in curiosity as I put a spoonful of the food in my mouth.

”No, my men arranged it, I was too busy.” he replied while taking a spoon of food into his mouth and chewed slowly with so much ease. I stared at him and realized he must be a well-mannered man, with the way he eats and behaves.

”You have men ?” I inquired in curiosity.

He nodded his head and continued eating.

He has men, what kind of men, I thought to myself and continued eating. We ate in silence until we were done eating.

”Thank you.” I beamed at him and took a sip of the juice in my glass.

”It’s nothing.” he smiled at me and nervously ran his fingers through his hair.

”Well, it might not be something to you, but it is to me. No one has ever shown me this love and care.” I announced those words sincerely to him while taking a sip of my drink.

He moved the dish away and moved closer to me in a way that I could feel the manly scent coming from him and the hot heat coming out of his body.

”I’m here, I will give you all the love and care that you deserve ” he expressed those words in a serious look while locking eyes with me.

I locked eyes with him and for strange reasons, he reminded me of Eric. Quickly, I snapped out of my thought and shook my head in disbelief. He can never be Eric. They are both two different people with different personalities.

”You are a werewolf, right?” I questioned, with my gaze on him.

”Yes, are you scared of us ”? He asked while staring at me to see my reaction,

”I was, but not any more I think.” I replied while thinking of Eric.

”Do you know anyone who is a werewolf like me.”, he asked while taking a sip of his drink. ”Yes, I have a friend.” I replied while my thought went to Kelvin.

”You know him, he is DOM Kelvin.” I announced.

He flashed me a weak smile and looked away.

We sat there in a comfortable silence until he spoke up, ”Tell me more about yourself.” he muttered those words as a plead.

Hearing those words from him, I wondered why he wanted to know more about me but still keeps his identity a secret to me.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

”What do you wanna know about me ?” I asked.

”Anything, just tell me anything.” he pleaded.

I hummed at him before clearing my throat, ”I’m an orphan, I lost my both parents when I was just twelve years old. I was brought up by my aunt who loved and cared for me like her child, but the only way I could pay her back was to make her lay on the hospital bed fighting for her life.” I murmured those words in pain.

”I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.” I beamed sadly at him and tried looking away, but he took hold of my chin and made me locked eyes with him.

”You don’t have to hide anything from me. I asked you to tell me more about yourself. I don’t want you to keep anything from me, okay ?” He pleaded, moved closer to me and placed my head on his shoulder.

Resting on his shoulder, I released a soft sigh and relaxed on his shoulder like I was already used to it.

”What happened.” he asked while he gently stroked my hair with so much love and care that I wished such a moment should stay forever.

”We were involved in a car accident courtesy of me.” I mumbled in regret as the incident flickered in my head.

”I made it out alive after spending two months in the hospital because I was putting on a seatbelt, but my aunt still hasn’t been able to wake up for the past three years because she wasn’t putting on a seat belt and her case became complicated.” I murmured in tears.

”For the past three years I have been a shadow of myself. I rejected my admission and started working in different places just to be able to meet her hospital bills because they were too expensive, and yet there was no improvement.” I sobbed in tears and closed my eyes, so I could control the tears tumbling down my cheek when I noticed DOM Tim’s hands lifting my head.

He held my chin with his two hands while he glared at me with affection and pity in his eyes.

He did not say a word, rather he kissed my forehead before placing kisses all over my face.

He stopped kissing me and focused his gaze on me. He stared at me with pity and care, but there was something else I noticed in his eyes, but I wasn’t sure of it because it seems my mind was playing pranks with me, or maybe I was just imagining things.

Alpha Eric’s POV!

I stopped placing kisses on her face and locked eyes with her as I continued to stare right into her eyes.

She was amazingly beautiful, and I wondered why I never saw this all this while.

Seeing her shedding tears on my shoulder, brought so much pain in me and all I wanted was to wipe away those tears from her eyes. I wanted her to be happy, smiling and giggling happily and not shedding tears.

I noticed she was staring back at me, and I knew it was risky. Quickly, I removed my hands from her chin and looked away, hoping she hadn’t gotten a clue.

”Why don’t you let me see your face”. She asked, still staring at me with soaked eyes.

I released a heavy sigh and stood up from the mat with my back to her, but did not know what to say.

”Tim.” she called out to me while standing on her feet. ”Is that even your name ?” she asked, confused, and moved closer to me. ”Why don’t you tell me who you are, or at least show your face to me, like other Doms do.” She pleaded, and I could notice the desperation in her voice.

The desperation to see my face, the desperation to know who I was.

”Tim.” she called out to me and stood in front of me while locking eyes with me like she was trying to pierce through my soul. ”What’s your name.” she asked while she nervously nipped her lips.

I looked away and nervously ran my fingers through my hair, but couldn’t say a word.

”Please tell me your name.” she begged as she moved closer to me so that we were just an inch apart, but I took in a deep breath and moved a step away from her. ”I can’t.” I whispered in regret.

I can’t, I just can’t show my face to her, she loves DOM Tim and not Eric. I was privileged and lucky to spend such quality time with her, and I don’t want it to end so quickly.

”Why.”, she demanded. ” Don’t you trust me enough to show your face to me?” she asked, frustrated.

”I will show you my face when the time is right.” I tried explaining to her, but she wouldn’t accept it.

”Do you have a family?” she asked in pain while staring at me.

”Meaning?” I asked, confused,

She gulped and inhaled deeply before speaking. ”You are married, you are a married man, that is why you don’t wanna show your face to me, that is why you are hiding your identity from me, so I won’t find out that you are married.” she yelled and sobbed in tears.

”I can’t believe this, I’m having an affair with a married man, I’m fucking in love with a married man.” she muttered out in pain. I couldn’t believe my ear when I heard what she just said, she had just confessed her love for me.

”In love with me ?” I asked, so I could be sure I heard her right.

”Yes dumbass, I’m fucking in love with you, I fell in love with you without seeing your face, I stupidly fell in love with you without knowing a thing about you, I’m so foolish, so, so foolish.” she wailed in pain and was about dropping to the ground, but I moved quickly to her and held her with my both hands.

”I love you too.” I uttered those words to her, while pulling her to myself.
