Rejected By Him Claimed By His Uncle (Rita and Leo)

Atlas, is anything wrong? You don't mind Elaina giving a tour of the mansion to Alpha Greg, do you?" Rita asked and Alpha Atlas frowned

I had no idea that you employed Elaina as a tour guide of this mansion, Atlas sneered and I frowneil.

Why are you annoyed? Am I wrong for trying to show Elaina that she has choices?" Rita asked and immediately, he stomped out of the dining room.

I watched him leave and hated watching him do so. Why was he annoyed? And, why should I care?

1 looked away from him and at Alpha Greg. Maybe, getting to know other wolves other than Alpha Atlas was not a very bad idea.

"I would love to give Alpha Greg a tour of this mansion," I said and Rita smiled at me.

You're giving a stranger a tour, but when I asked for one, you refused to,* Emma said and everyone at the table excluding Aunt Freya and I laughed.

Aunt Freya Tooked displeased. She got up too and turned to her niece. "I can't believe you are helping someone else your son wants." She said bluntly and then left the table.

Alpha Greg looked lost. He turned to me and raised an eyebrow. I shrugged in

Right after dinner, I gave Alpha Greg a tour of the mansion like had promised him to. I took the opportunity to know more of him and while he was a very nice person. He spoke gently and treated me the

way.

Alpha Greg made me feel like a princess, but he did not rock my world as much as Alpha Atlas did. I was a little annoyed at this discovery. Not that I was ready to get married, in fact, the reverse was the case. I did not want to get a mate anytime soon. I just met my parents and I wanted to know more about them. I was not ready to leave them soon.

At that moment, it dawned on me that I was only giving Alpha Greg this tour, because I wanted to forget Alpha Atlas. Well, things didn't go as planned, because Alpha Atlas was still on my mind.

Later that evening, a ball was thrown in honor of Alpha Greg. The ball was also a chance for him to get to know many other she-wolves and familiarize himself with them, but contrary to what was expected, he stayed glued to me. Because of him, I barely had any dance with the other wolves. He took all the chances to dance with me. Well, I was not pissed at that.

As much as I wanted to get to know many other wolves, I didn't really want to dance with anybody and I was grateful to Alpha Greg for making that possible.

At the ball, I was not completely happy though. While I danced with Alpha Greg, Alpha Atlas was busy with another she-wolf that was not me. He was with Beatrice, the daughter of the Alpha of a nearby pack. I peeked at them at any time I got and with the passing seconds, my blood boiled. The she-wolf was all over Alpha Atlas and it annoyed me. What annoyed me was the fact that Atlas was allowing her to do whatever she wanted to him. He should push her away. But again, I was also with someone else and I had no right to be angry, because I had pushed him away the last time he tried to come close.

I shrugged. He probably did not like me as much as I thought he did. As much as this annoyed me, I constantly had to remind myself that I had no right to be angry and I had to keep this toxic trait of mine in check.

"Has someone else in this room caught your fancy? You keep on looking away." I looked back at Alpha Greg immediately when these words came out of his mouth. I felt bad for being rude enough to not pay attention to him.

"This ball was thrown not only to welcome you. It's a chance for you to get to know many other she-wolves and choose a perfect Luna for your pack," I said and he frowned.

"So, someone else has caught your fancy," He said, scrutinizing my face and I looked away.

"Maybe I admitted itm. I wait to forget about him. I want to spend more time with my parents too?

Alpha Greg nodded. "Ten still going to pursue you though, so I don't think I want to get familiar with any other she-wolf," He said casually and I turned to look at him abruptly, not knowing how to react or respond to his words.

just looked away from him. I took the opportunity to scan the oom quickly for Alpha Atlas but he was nowhere to be found.

My heart skipped a bit and I looked around. This time, it was obvious that I was looking for someone. He still was nowhere to be found. Then, my eyes fell on the exit.

I saw Beatrice leaving with a wolf whose back view was similar that of Alpha Atlas. I was curious to know if he was the one and why he was leaving the party in the middle of the night with Beatrice. Tons of wild thoughts flooded through my head. but I decided to push them away and focus on what was happening around me.

Why should I care about Alpha Atlas's whereabouts? After all, I was not his keeper.

"Can I know his name?" Alpha Greg asked, distracting me from my thoughts.

"Name? What name?"

"The name of the person you are looking for."

"Oh..." My voice trailed off. I was definitely not telling him that I had been watching Alpha Atlas throughout the party and that I was getting obsessed with him, but when I had the chance to get to know him, I had pushed him away.

My mind flickered to Beatrice leaving the party with a wolf that looked like Alpha Atlas. I got more curious.

Where were they going? And, why did they leave in the middle of the night?

I stood up immediately and without bothering to answer Alpha Greg's question, I rushed to the exit.

I had to know where Alpha Atlas had gone with Beatrice and what they were up to.
