REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric’s POV

We both sat in silence as none of us said a word until I noticed Elliot left the chair as he murmured in pain while rubbing his both arms.

“I wonder the kind of pains she must be going through.” he muttered those words to himself and was about walking away when I stood up and blocked his way.

“She was with you all this while.” I asked, not in anger, but with curiosity. I wondered why Victoria would leave everything behind just to be with him.

“Your mate is in there, fighting for her life, and you stand here asking me stupid questions.” Elliot asked angrily and moved closer to me. “You made her run away, You made her turn to something else and here you are asking me stupid questions, get out of my way alpha Eric.” He spelled out the last words with anger.

His words got me confused and curious about what he meant by I was the reason Victoria ran away.

“What are you saying,” I asked, confused.

“Don’t act like you don’t know what you did ?’ he yelled in anger. “You said you hated her and yet, you played with her feelings, you pretended to be someone else and made her fall in love with you thinking it was someone else, while she never knew it was you all along.” he expressed those words with a disgruntled look.

“She did nothing to you, yet all you ever did to her was to cause her pain and torture.” He shook his head with anger and continued, “Pray nothing happen to her, I don’t care whether she is your mate or not, but I will fight you with my last blood.” he yelled angrily to me and left the hospital while holding his left arm which made me realized they were broken.

Hearing those words from him, I couldn’t move a bit, even though his words hurt me I knew he was right.

All I ever did to Victoria was cause her pain, and now she is fighting for her life just because of me.

With a heartache, I took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the door of her private room. Slowly, I opened the door and went in.

With a heart filled with guilt, I stood by the door and saw Victoria lying on the bed with her eyes closed and a big bandage on her head.

Seeing her in such a state, I felt my heart clenched in pain and tears drop on my cheek as I walked slowly to the bed. I sat beside her and took her cold hands in mine and placed kisses on them.

“I’m sorry.”, I whispered those words, almost to myself. “I’m sorry for all the things I made you go through.” I murmured in regret as I remembered all I told her.

“Please forgive me and give me another chance.” I begged while I gently squeezed her hand.

Not getting a response from her, I swallowed in pain and stared at her, she was so beautiful and peaceful in her sleep.

Her beautiful long black hair fell on her shoulder, but I couldn’t see her beautiful brown eyes because they were closed, out of my carelessness and anger.

I sat there staring at her sleeping peacefully on the bed. She was living her life her own way until I walked into her life and brought her so much pain and sorrow.

Sighing heavily, I rubbed her hands in mine to warm them up as I continued staring at her.

I sat there for hours until I heard my phone ringing. I went for it and noticed it was my secretary calling, which forced a sigh out of my lips as I picked up the call.

“Sir, I’m in your hotel room.”

“I’m not in the hotel.” I spoke tiredly.

“Where are you sir?” he spoke in panic.

“That isn’t necessary, I know about the meeting, I will be there.” I grumbled and ended the call.

After ending the call, I stood up from the chair, stared at her one more time before placing a kiss on her forehead.

I walked out of the room, left the hospital, got into my car and drove off.

I hit the steering of the car as I drove back to the hotel. My wolf was silent, really silent, and it angered me.

I knew he was angry and disappointed at himself for hitting his mate. I tried accessing him, but he shut himself away from me with pain and shame.

I drove into the hotel, parked in the parking lot and took the lift to my room.

I got to my room, took off the stained shirt from my body and walked into the shower. I sighed in pain as I remembered all that happened a few hours ago.

Today was supposed to be a happy day for me. I was supposed to reunite with Victoria and work things out with her, but I just couldn’t control my anger and jealousy.

With a heavy foot, I walked back to the room, took out a suit from the closet, put it on and left the room.

I left the hotel and was on my way to the venue of the meeting when I saw my secretary’s call coming in. “I’m on my way.” I announced and ended the call.

In a few minutes, I was at the venue of the meeting. I parked my car and went into the hall.

I took a seat while my secretary stood behind me.

“Are you okay, sir.” He asked while staring at me with a concerned look.

“I’m fine.” I muttered in a low tone and took the file from him as the meeting began.

All through the meeting, I wasn’t concentrating, and my secretary knew it.

The meeting went on and on until it was finally over.

Quickly, I stood on my feet and left the room without exchanging greetings.

I hurried to my car and drove out. I drove back to the hospital and rushed into Victoria’s room.

I went in and stood by the door as I watched the doctor checking her vitals. He noticed me and flashed me a weak smile.

“The scan we did on her is out, but we are waiting for her to wake up to get our final result.” he announced and walked up to me. “The hit on her head caused some brain damage, but we are still not sure until she wakes up.”

Hearing those words from him, I felt my heart clenched and fear ran through my body. “What do you mean by that?” I asked in fear.

“Calm down, we are still not sure until she wakes up.” he flickered an assuring smile and left the room.

I felt my hands trembling in fear as the doctor’s words kept buzzing in my head.

“No.” I whispered to myself in pain as I moved closer to her.

I collapsed on the chair and I felt hot tears on my cheek, ”this wasn’t happening, this can’t be true.” I mumbled as I took Victoria’s hand and placed kisses on them while I felt fear all over my body.

“Brain damage.” I murmured to myself and shook my head in disbelief.

This can’t be true, this can’t be happening. How can this happen in just the space of one day.

I groaned in anger as I realized I was the one who was the cause of all this, all this wouldn’t have come to this if I was able to control my anger and jealousy.

I whined in anger and stood up from the chair as I became angry at myself for not seeing her. She was right there before me, and yet, I couldn’t notice her.

The moment I saw her on the floor, I knew she wouldn’t be able to come out without some complication because I knew the hit on her head was severe.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Elliot walked in with a miserable look on his face. He stared at Victoria for a while and moved closer to her, totally ignoring me.

He sat beside her, staring at her without saying a word, while I walked to the other side of the bed and stood there.

“What happened?” I murmured to myself, but I knew Elliot heard me clearly.

“You should ask her when she wakes up,” he replied with anger and stood up from the chair.

I released a heavy sigh and walked over to his side and stood before him. “I know Victoria has been with you for the past two years, and I’m curious to know what is going on.” I spoke in a calm voice, hoping I would get some answers from him.

“I have nothing to say to you, wait until she wakes up, she has answers to all your questions. “He declared those words in irritation, and was about walking away when we heard a soft whimper coming from Victoria.

Quickly, I rushed to her and stood beside her as I noticed she was moving on the bed while she murmured words I couldn’t pick up.

“Victoria”. I called out her name and tried touching her, but Elliot stopped me from forcefully waking her up.

Quickly, I pressed the alert button and within some seconds a nurse and a doctor walked in.

“She is waking up.” I murmured in fear,

“Step aside.”

I stepped aside and watched the doctor check her vitals.

I saw her move her body slowly until she blinked her lashes and slowly opened her eyes.

I sighed in relief and rushed to her, but she totally ignored me and stared at the doctor like he was a strange being.

“Hospital?” she murmured and stared around the room with startled and confused eyes.

“What am I doing in a hospital.” she asked in a calm and confused tone while moving her gaze around until she met eyes with me.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

We met eyes with each other and I noticed something different in her eyes. The anger and hatred I saw in her eyes a few hours ago were all gone from her eyes, and this time it was replaced with questions and curiosity.
