REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

“You kept hard drugs in a room where a child who can walk stays.” I yelled furiously.

“He was playing on the floor, I never knew he would walk to my table.” She begged with guilt.

Groaning angrily, I ran my fingers as I tried to control the anger in me. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” she apologized sincerely.

I stared at her and could tell she was scared and also in deep pain.

With my heart clenching with pain, I moved my gaze away from her and stared at the grave.

I was about to say something to her, but then I noticed my phone ringing and went for it. The moment I went for the phone, I realized the caller was mike.

“Hello.” I spoke quickly.

“Eric, Eric.” he called out in a mocking tone.

“Where is Victoria?” I muttered, angrily.

“Calm down.” he teased with a loud mockery,

“Don’t tell me to fucking calm down, where is Victoria?” I yelled.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Listen, you will see her if you listen to my warning,” he muttered.

I groaned in anger at his words before speaking up, “What do you want?” I asked.

“I want you to come to the location I will send you. If you come with your men or do anything fishy, she will be the one to pay for it.” he muttered as a threat in a serious tone.

“I’m alpha Eric, I’m not scared of you. Tell me the location and I will come over there alone.” I spoke angrily.

The line went silent for a while before he spoke up, “I will send you the location, expect to see you in an hour.” he said and ended the call on me.

“Fuck you.” I groaned in anger as I walked around.

“Is everything okay?” Andrew asked, curious.

I stared at him but did not say a word.

I groaned angrily and kept staring at the phone in my hand, waiting for the address.

Within a few minutes, an address came on my phone which seemed familiar to me. “Let’s go.” I told Andrew.

I was a few steps away and angrily turned and stared at the grave of Oliver before glaring at Sophie, who was still crying profusely. “You will hear from me.” I declared those words as a promise before leaving with Andrew.

We both got to the car, went in, and drove off in high speed. “Did he say anything?” Andrew asked. “Yeah, but don’t worry, I can handle it.” I assured him. He nodded his head at me but didn’t say a word.

I got to my house, stopped the car and let him out. “Aren’t you coming?” he asked. “No.” I replied firmly.

He stared at me like he wanted to say something but held back. “Call us if anything goes wrong.” He pleaded, while I nodded my head to his words and drove off.

The closer I drove to the location, the more scared I became, but not for myself but for Victoria, hoping she was okay.

I got to the location, parked in a corner and got out of the car.

The location was a well-built one-story building. “Come in, and make sure you are alone.” he sent those messages to my phone.

Quickly, I walked to the front door, opened it and got in. When I got in, I noticed I was in a sitting room, which was properly arranged with the right furniture.

“Follow me.” A man, whom I assumed was one of Mike’s men, said and led the way. We passed a few rooms before he opened a door and stepped aside for me to go in.

Quickly, I got in and noticed the room was dark. “You finally made it.” I heard Mike’s voice in the dark room.

“Show yourself, you dog.” I yelled.

He chuckled loudly before the lights were switched on.

I stared around and saw him seated on an armchair, while Victoria was sitting on the floor beside him with both her hands tied behind and her mouth sealed.

“Victoria.” I rushed to her side, but I was stopped by Mike placing a gun on her head.

“Come closer, and I can assure you, you will go with her dead body.”he threatened.

I groaned angrily and clenched both my fists as I stared at him.

I moved my gaze back to Victoria and felt my muscles becoming weak as I met eyes with her. She looks tired, scared, and confused.

“Are you alright.” I asked, while she shook her head in fear as a response.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” I assured her, and she nodded her head to my words.

I groaned and moved my gaze to Mike.

“What’s the meaning of this?” I yelled.

“Shut up and sit down,” he ordered.

“I don’t take orders from dogs like you,” I replied angrily.

“Then maybe you want me to blow her brains off,” he threatened.

Hearing his words, I couldn’t say or do a thing. Rather, I just stared at Victoria, who held my gaze with tears filled eyes.

“You have me, now can you let her go.”? I spoke angrily.

“No, no, it’s not that easy,” Mike said while shaking his head.

I groaned and sucked a deep breath to control my anger. Mike chuckled loudly and took the gun off Victoria’s Head.

“You see, I told you I would get back at you after you broke my bones and made me lay on the bed for months.”

“Are you doing all this because of what happened two years ago?” I asked in anger.

“Not really, actually, I have score to settle with Victoria here.” he muttered with a big grin on his face.

“Don’t you dare.” I yelled while he chuckled loudly, “You know, she smells nice throughout the night.” His words got my wolf furious, forcing me to shift into its form, but I held it.

“But unfortunately, I can’t fuck unconscious ladies.”, he mocked and flashed me a big grin.

“I will kill you.” I muttered those words as a promise.

“Only if you have the chance,” he muttered confidently.

With a groan. I moved my gaze back to Victoria and noticed she was constantly staring at me.

“Everything will be fine.” I assured her and moved my gaze to Mike.

“You have me, why not let her go?” I yelled angrily.

Mike smiled evilly for a while before he stood to his feet.

“It’s strange to see almighty Alpha Eric this weak and trembling like a scared dog,” he mocked. “I knew your love for this woman would definitely be your weakness, and I was right about it.” he mocked with a loud chuckle.

All he was saying wasn’t getting to my head, rather, I fixed my gaze on Victoria, who kept staring at me like she had so many things to say.

“I should have killed you when I had the chance.” I declared those words and moved my gaze to him.

“Unfortunately, you did not.” he grinned evilly and stood beside Victoria.

“Stop playing games with me, and say what you want.” I spoke impatiently.

He stared at me for a while before he cracked his gun. “What are you doing?” I asked in fear when I saw the gun being pointed at Victoria.

“Going straight to the point,” he replied.

“You won’t dare.” I yelled.

“Really,” he asked with a big grin and pointed the gun at me.

“Well, I’m here to announce to you that the bullet in this gun is no ordinary one, one shot on you, and you will die slowly, regardless of who you are.” he said while staring at me because he knew a shot on me, It’s like being pierced by a needle.

Just staring at the gun in his hand, I knew he was right, this was no ordinary gun.

Victoria’s POV

Eric stared with terrified eyes before staring at the gun in Mike’s hand. I stared at Eric not because I was confused, but because I now remember everything.

After Mike and his men kidnapped me, they placed something on my nose, which made me fall unconscious. The moment I woke up, I found myself tied to a chair with my two hands behind me.

Confused, I blinked my eyes severally and stared around the empty room with fear. With panic, I took a deep breath as memories kept flashing in my head like I was watching a movie, all the memories I couldn’t remember began playing in my head and within few seconds I recalled everything.

“Shit.” I mumbled in fear when I realized I was being kidnapped by Mike. Just when I was trying to process everything, I saw the door open and Mike came walking in, majestically with his two hands in his pockets.

“You are finally awake,” he mocked, “I heard you lost your memory. Do you want me to refresh some memory for you” he asked.

With anger, I stared at him and wished I wasn’t sealed in the mouth, so I could have spit on him.

“Oh, he is already here,” he muttered, and switched off the light.

I noticed the door open, and a figure came walking in, without being told, I knew it was Eric.

The lights were switched on, and I met eyes with Eric.

I was supposed to be angry with him, I was supposed to still have hatred for him, but the moment I held his gaze I could see his eyes were filled with pain, stress, and lack of sleep. Holding his gaze, all the anger I felt for him for the past two years vanished away.

“Are you okay?” he asked with so much care while I nodded my head to him.

He flashed me an assuring smile before moving his gaze back to Mike.

“Let her go, you have a problem with me and not her.” Eric pleaded with his gaze on me, it was obvious he didn’t know I had gotten my lost memory.

“The plan is to kill you both, so you can reunite, isn’t that wonderful?” Mike responded with a loud chuckle.

“Stop this mike, let her go” he pleaded.

“I won’t, because of her, I was insane for a good two years. I will deal with both of you and deal with Elliot later.” he expressed those words with bitterness.

“What does she have to do with all this? You were the one who kidnapped her and killed our baby still in her womb. What did she ever do to you?” Eric roared. Hearing his words, I could see he was doing everything in his power to hold back the anger boiling in him.

“You are right, she has nothing to do with this, but I realize that by hurting her, that is when I get to you because I know you love her so much and a scratch on her skin is a torture to you.” Mike yelled and pointed a gun at me.

He took off the tape off my mouth and smiled evilly at me. “I will kill her in front of you and kill you afterward.” he muttered and laughed loudly like a lunatic.

“You won’t dare.” Eric warned in anger.

“Really, then watch me…” those words did not leave Mike’s lips when I noticed he pulled the trigger. Out of fear, I closed my eyes and waited for death to come, but then I heard a gunshot, but Felt no discomfort in any part of my body.

Quickly, I opened my eyes and saw Eric on top of Mike, his hand on Mike’s hand as he tried collecting the gun from him and with ease he took the gun. “How dare you.” he yelled as he hit Mike’s face, which instantly rushed out blood that made me wonder if it was Just his hand he used.

“If you have a problem, come for me alone and stay away from her.” he roared in anger and hit Mike’s head on the floor, causing him to bleed out more blood.

“I will kill you.” Eric yelled in anger and kept hitting Mike’s head on the floor, as all efforts by Mike to fight Eric were a waste.

“Stop it, Eric, you will kill him.” I yelled in fear as I noticed Mike’s face was covered with blood.

Eric listened to my plead and stopped hitting Mike’s head on the hard floor. He made eyes with me and I could see the color of his eyes was darker, which made me realize he was out of control.

“Please stop.” I begged.

With a groan, he closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds. He moved his gaze away from me and stared at mike lying on the floor. “I’m not done with you.” Eric said and gave him a hard punch that knocked him off, and made him fall unconscious.

I noticed Eric took a deep breath and tried controlling his breath before he pulled away from Mike. “Are you okay.” he asked in a weak voice, too weak for someone like Eric.

I nodded my head at his words and watched him stand at his feet. As he made his way to me, I noticed it wasn’t just Mike’s blood on the floor, but Eric’s blood was gushing down from his right stomach.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” he assured me in a whisper and knelt beside me as he untied my hands with trembling hands.

“Eric, you are dying, how did you get injured?” I asked and remembered the gunshot that didn’t hit me. “Oh my God, you were shot.” I muttered in fear as he untied the last rope from my hand.

“I’m fine, my men are on their way. I just informed them, all you have to do is stay here and don’t move until they come.” he kissed me softly on the lips and kissed the tip of my nose before he cupped my face with his two hands.

“I want you to know that I love you so very much, more than life itself.” he expressed those words like he meant every bit of them.
