I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

Laying in bed , I feel a tug at the duvet , it’s dark and cold . My eyes ping open and little Felix stands next to my bed , his little blue blanket in his hand , the other hand rubbing his eyes . He’s three now and my heart is filled with joy and content.

” Hey .” I prop myself up onto my elbow , ” Are you okay ?” I cup his little cheek .

“Can I sleep by you ?” his voice sounds so tired , ” Yeah , of course .” I nod , scooting back a little and my back hits Aiden’s .

Felix climbs onto the bed , yawning and he comes to lay in my arms .

I throw the duvet over us , smiling as he holds my arm .

” I had a bad dream…” he finally says and my heart sinks , ” About ?” I try to keep my eyes open .

Having a toddler to keep you on your feet while you try and run a pack and throw parties and be there for others is hard .

” About big scary wolves coming to our home and killing us..well that was what the lady said..” he sighs .

” What lady ?” I frown , ” I don’t know..she had no feet! She floated with very white hair and pretty eyes..” Felix yawns as he cuddles into me , ” But I told her that my mommy and daddy would always protect me.” I hold onto him , trying not to panic because if that was the Moon Goddess , why did she not come to us with this threat ?

” We’ll always protect you .” I mumble .

It feels like hours have gone by as I lay wide awake , staring up at the ceiling , hoping that whatever my son just said wasn’t true.

But what if it was ?

What if danger is coming and I am ignoring it because he said it’s just a dream ?

I roll onto my back , looking at Aiden peacefully sleeping before I nudge him with my elbow.

He g****s , lines forming between his eyebrows .

“Aiden .” I whisper , but he doesn’t hear me , or he’s acting like he doesn’t .

“Aiden .” I nudge him harder and his eyes ping open and he turns to look at me .

“What ?” a small smile forms on his face when he notices Felix laying in my arm .

” Felix had a dream.” I start , ” He said a lady with no feet talked to him , she was flying above ground with white long hair .” My throat dries at the thought .

“He said that she told him that wolves were coming to destroy us.” my jaw ticks at the thought of Felix being in danger.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

” It’s just a dream Eleia.” he frowns as he props himself up onto his elbow , “But what if it isn’t ? What if we’re ignoring it and something happens Aiden ?” My voice cracks under the pressure of stress .

ELEIA’S POV

Laying in bed , I feel a tug at the duvet , it’s dark and cold . My eyes ping open and little Felix stands next to my bed , his little blue blanket in his hand , the other hand rubbing his eyes . He’s three now and my heart is filled with joy and content.

” Can we talk about it in the morning ?” He asks and I sigh , nodding , “Yeah .” I mumble and he leans over , placing a k**s on my cheek before he lays down , holding my waist .

I don’t fall back asleep as I listen to the whistling wind and the insects making noises outside. Aiden’s alarm goes off not long after he fell back asleep and when I turn my head , the sun is starting to shine through the curtains .

I continuously gulp down the vile feeling crawling up my throat and before Aiden could stand up , I slip my half dead arm out from underneath Felix before jumping over my mate and I run to the bathroom , vile rising in my throat as I fall to my knees in front of the toilet and I spew out whatever I had for dinner last night .

“Eleia .” Aiden’s right beside me , a concerned frown on his face , ” Are you okay ?” he asks and I just nod .

“Yeah , just feeling sick .” I drag my messy hair back as I sit on the floor , loving the feeling of the cool tiles below my skin .

“You’re hot .” he feels my face and I just ignore him .

“I am fine .” I roll my eyes ,standing and I flush the toilet before washing my hands and rinsing my mouth .

” Look , I’m going for a meeting in town today . Are you going to be okay ?” he asks and I just smile , “Yeah , nothing can bring me down.” I try to sound cheerful , but Aiden isn’t smiling .

“And we’ll talk about his dream when I come back , yeah ?” he asks , or at least I thought it was a question .

I crawl back into bed and I immediately fall asleep again .

Waking up to Felix giggling , my eyes slowly wrench open , ” Hi.” a small smile crosses my face as I see him watching something on my phone .

” Look , it’s a bunny dancing !” he giggles , turning the phone to me .

I smile , sitting up and I expect to feel like earlier , but I don’t .

I feel my face and the little fever I had is gone .

” What do you want to eat pumpkin ?” I ask and he looks up at me , pouting his lips as his eyes narrow and he looks around as he thinks .

” Pancakes !” he beams and I giggle as my eyes roll . ” You always want pancakes .” I point out .

Since Aiden and I made pancakes one morning , he has not stopped wanting it every single day .

“I love pancakes .” he hums and I can’t force myself to say no , even if I really , really wanted to.

” Do you want an egg pancake ?” I ask and he frowns , ” What is an egg pancake?” he frowns . “It’s a pancake made out of eggs , we can put bacon inside and cheese .” my stomach rumbles at the talk of food and he nods with wide eyes .

“Yes !” I clap my hands before getting out of bed and we head downstairs .

” Just go !” I hear Rosie’s voice coming from down stairs and I hold tightly onto Felix’s hand as we descend the steps.

“Rosie ?” I call out to her as she slams my front door shut .

“He’s being an a*s !” she seethes and I shake my head , “Language .” I grit out and her eyes flick to Felix , “Sorry .” she murmurs .

” What’s an a*s ?” Felix asks and I bite my bottom l*p , “It’s when someone is mean , but you aren’t allowed to use that word until you’re eighteen .” I shrug and he just nods .

Rosie holds her growing tummy , ” What did he do ?” I ask and she glances down at Felix .

I lower onto my haunches , ” Can you go get the plates out so long ?” I ask and his smile is priceless as he runs to the kitchen .

I raise again , looking at her . She and Stefan have been having stupid fights over little things since she got pregnant . I guess he always teased her but now she’s fighting back .

” He told me I was no longer allowed to use the stove because of our kid growing inside of me and when I asked him if I should starve when he wasn’t here , he said I was big enough and could eat less as if I were fat and not pregnant .” she fumes .

” You do eat a lot .” I shrug and she rolls her eyes , ” Because I am eating for two .” she snorts .

” Well he was wrong and you can eat here .” I smile , their house was built next to ours and when I sit in my window , she sits in hers and when we open them , we can talk to one another . It’s funny because sometimes we forget them open and when one or the other is being intimate , we hear one another and you could just hear the other window slam shut .

We laughed about it over and over because it just happens , over and over .

She’s a screamer and I bet her kid will be too .

“What are we eating ?” the relief on her face makes me happy .

” Egg pancakes !” I beam and I hear Felix screaming ” Yeah !” from the kitchen .

“You mean an omelet?”

“Hush , it’s egg pancake in front of him .” I turn and we head into the kitchen .
