I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

Walking back up the stairs , I hear the muffled m***s behind the door on Rosie and Stefan’s floor , my eyes widen before I rush up the stairs , a source of jealousy brewing in my stomach .

I want to have pleasure with my mate too , but of course it’s not happening unless it’s the full moon .

I have no clue why he insists on doing it on the full moon , but I guess I can’t make him love me like that .

Entering the room , he’s stretching with his arms above his head , his six pack is stirring feelings that won’t be sorted out .

“Good morning .” I smile and his arms drop , a small smile covering his face .

“Good morning beautiful .”

My cheeks heat up , no one has ever called me beautiful .

“How did you sleep ?” He turns his body to me and my eyes flick down to his hard on strained in his pants .

“Good .” I force my eyes back up at his blues .

“Good .” He nods , his arms stretching towards me and his hands snake around me , tugging me to his chest .

His hug is warm and my body relaxes against his , “I’ll make us some breakfast in a second .” His soft lips press against my temple before he pushes me back and makes his way to the bathroom .

I stare at his muscular back before he disappears behind the bathroom door .

I sit down on the bed , glancing around the large room .

My energy is built up , I slept too much , rested and I’m doing nothing .

At least Rosie is using her energy .

“I’m done , come on .” He holds his hand out as he walks forward and I stand up , trotting to him and take his hand before we descend the stairs .

Everything about his house is so elegant , it’s not a huge pack house , but it has character .

The railings aren’t straight , it makes swift turns , like waves , the stairs are wide , making it less easier to skip a step and fall .

The white tiled floor is shiny , the walls clean and even the entire kitchen is spotless .

I would eat off this floor .

Aiden stops at the island of the kitchen , turning to me , his hands grab my waist and he bends before lifting me onto the counter , I giggle , my hands resting on his shoulders and he steps in between my parted thighs .

“What do you want to eat ?” He breathes out as his face is an inch from mine , his hot breath fans my face and I gulp .

I want to eat him , but then again , it’s not the full moon .

“What do you have ?” I inch back , putting space between us before I lock him in with my legs and devour his soft lips .

“Everything , anything you want .” He smiles and I think of everything I ever ate and made in that kitchen .

“Waffles with strawberries and ice cream .” My smile is wary .Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Sure thing .” He winks before pushing off the counter and he begins to gather the ingredients .

My legs kick back and forth and I feel like a happy kid .

We were never allowed to eat waffles , we only got whatever was in the fridge , anything that was food that was not luxury .

I can not stop smiling .

I watch as he sets the ingredients down all around me and I pull the big bowl closer before starting to make the dough .

“What are you doing ?” He asks with narrowed eyes , frozen in the spot .

“Helping .” I shrug as I continue to weigh the ingredients and throw it into the bowl .

“No .” He grits out , eyebrows furrowed together .

I freeze , staring at him in confusion .

“Why not ?” I frown and he sighs , striding forward before putting the milk down that was in his hand .

He rounds the counter , standing in front of me before dragging my bent leg on the counter toward him , letting my leg dangle like the other .

“Because you don’t need to do anything .” He cups my cheek , his thumb rubbing over my skin lightly , “You worked everyday for years…” he shakes his head , “YEARS .” He seethes , inhaling a sharp breath through his nose , the skin around his collarbones dips , exposing them .

I nod at a loss of words .

“You didn’t deserve what happened to you , okay ? You need to rest , you need to heal .” His voice is filled with concern and it just warms my heart at the way he’s staring at me .

There’s so much love in his eyes , so much care , but does he love me ?

Is it too soon to love someone who I’m mated too ?

“Okay .” The edges of my lips twitch up and his eyes flick between mine .

“What’s wrong ?” He asks , his hands caging me in with his hands on either side of me .

“I just …” I have no idea if I should tell him.

‘Just tell him .’ Crystal sighs and I gather all of my courage .

“I’m use to doing things and I have all this pent up energy…” I sigh , my eyes flicking down to my lap , afraid of how we would look at me .

“Then after we eat , we can go for a walk , roam the grounds or even shift and go for a run, but I don’t want to see you working .” His voice is full of demand and I nod , my lips sucking into my mouth .

His thumb brushes just below my bottom l*p , pulling my bottom l*p out of my mouth and I can’t stop staring at his ocean blues .

“Let’s get this breakfast going , well let me while you sit here and look pretty .” He winks before stepping back .

I at least thought he was going to k**s me , but nope .

I turn , pulling my one leg up onto the counter , playing with my hair on the side of my face while I watch him mix the rest of the ingredients .

“Can I at least get the waffle maker ?” I fiddle with the hem of my shirt and he shakes his head no .

I pout , “I feel useless .” I confess and he sighs , “You can throw the dough into the waffle maker if you want .” He shrugs and I smile , finally , something to do .

“Okay .” I beam , crossing my legs on the counter and he swats me with the kitchen towel , “Feet off .” He demands and my eyes widen as I scoot them off the counter and I just hop off .

His eyes widen as he mixes the dough together and stops , “Continue .” I smile as I round the island and come up behind him , wrapping my arms around his abdomen and I hug him , pressing my cheek to his back as I cuddle into his body .

“This could work .” He murmurs , making me smile .

When he walks , I walk behind , holding onto him .

“Eleia .” He chuckles as he bends forward to grab the waffle maker in a cupboard below the plates and my feet lift from the floor as I practically lean on him .

“Yeah ?” I squeal as he straightens his body and I giggle as he grabs my wrists , prying my hands off him and he turns around .

“Your turn to do something .” His eyes widen momentarily and I jump in front of him .

He rounds me , plugging the waffle maker into the plug .

We laugh and joke as I make the waffles and he stands next to me , back leaning against the counter I’m working on , staring at me with all the love and care in the world , a smile on his face all the way .

As we’re done with the waffles , I mind link Rosie to come and eat , I have no idea if we should be able to do this , but I guess we still share the same pack .

“We’re you mind linking ?” He asks with worried eyes and I nod , shrugging , his eyes turning dark .

“Don’t .” He warns and I look up at him stunned .

“Why ?” I ask confused and he rolls his eyes at me .

“Because he can sense it Eleia , he might not be able to hear , but he senses it . You’re out of his pack , it you’re still tethered to him until you join ours .” He explains and I nod , chewing on the inside of my cheek .

“I won’t do it again..” I murmur and as soon as Stefan and Rosie enter the kitchen , smiling , I feel relief .

Aiden stares at Stefan until he looks at him .

I frown as Aiden nods out of the door and Stefan follows , but I was shook to see the bite mark in the crook of Rosie’s neck .

I didn’t think that would happen so fast for them…

“Wow .” I stare at it and once her eyes find mine and see what I’m looking at , she blushes before her hand raises and she trails the mark with her finger .

“It was amazing .” She breathes out almost in a trance like state and my head c***s to the side as a genuine smile creeps up my face .

I am genuinely happy for her .

“I’m happy for you , but I’m going to be honest , I’m jealous .” I pout as I scoop ice cream out of the container and onto my waffle .

Rosie’s eyes flick down to my neck and she tuts , shaking her head .

“Always the innocent Eleia .” She teases and I roll my eyes at her .

“You’re more innocent than I am .” I scoff , “Not last night .” She wiggles her eyebrows and I begin to laugh as I grab a sharp knife and some strawberries , starting to chop them and put them over the ice cream .

“I’m really happy we’re both here .” I smile and she returns the smile , “And I’m happy we’re alive and we both found our mates , our true mates .”

I know she means Regan , but I can’t think of him anymore .

He wasn’t a mate , he was a user , an abuser , a low life a*****e who doesn’t deserve love or happiness in his life .

“Me too .” I smile and wait for her to build her waffle .

We both sit at the counter , eating slowly and I’m not halfway through my waffle when I sart to become full .

I can’t help but wonder where Aiden and Stefan are .

“Rosie .” I mumble with a mouth full of food and she hums in response as she stuffs her mouth too .

“Aiden told me not to use my mind link .” I pouts and her entire face scrunches up , “Why ?”

“He says Regan can sense it .” I gulp and her eyes widen , fear covering her face .

“Okay , then we’ll just stop .” She shrugs , but I want to know how to break the link , I don’t want to be tethered to him or that pack .
