I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

Holding the little boy in my arms , my heart is swelling with love, “He’s perfect, you did it.” I smile at Rosie, her skin is covered in sweat, her eyes are teary and there are tear tracks on her cheeks. “Can I hold my son now ?” Stefan asks annoyed , holding out his hands. I giggle before standing up and handing him his son.

I hold my best friend’s hand, waiting for the doctor to come back and tell us when she can go home.

” What are we going to name him ?” she asks tiredly, her eyes narrowed and she’s on the edge of just passing out.

I remember how that felt, I hated it and soon I will feel it again .

” Rufus..” Stefan stares down at his son and Rosie and I glance at one another , frowning , “No.” we say simultaneously .

“Then what do you suggest ?” he scoffs before we all freeze, our eyes cloud over as Aiden’s message comes through, ‘We are under attack , warriors , stand in place in case of emergency.’ he bellows and my heart sinks into my stomach as our eyes clash.

“Go.” I stand and take baby from Stefan’s arms before he rushes out, but Rosie calls after him in terror, but as a good beta, he ignores her to go fight for our pack and our safety.

My heart breaks at the sight of my best friend’s broken expression , “He’ll be fine. The magic protecting us won’t let anything happen to them.” I smile, holding her hand.

Weeks… we have been cooped up on this land for weeks without being able to leave because of that witch’s spell that is casted to protect us and we thought that the Lycans would never come, but now they are here, ready to fight, on the day that my best friend is giving birth and I wish I could go out there and kill them all, but I am where I am needed.

“You need to go make sure.” she tries to take the baby and I shake my head, “No, I am staying here. You need me more.” I smile at her , plus I need the distraction. I know the walls around this place is strong, we tested it and it almost killed a few wolves, but we have no other choice.

I don’t want to think of Aiden in danger because it makes me want to run up to him , to hug him and tell him I forgive him , but that would only be the fear talking and not me.

I don’t want to forgive him because my son won’t have a mate when he’s older.

“Eleia, please .” she begs , but I shake my head at her.

” No, what if Felix wakes up and I’m not here?” I gesture to my son sleeping on the comfortable chair.

“I will look after him .” she argues , “You can barely keep your eyes open.” I snort and I take her hand in mine, holding it for comfort.

“He is going to be fine.” I smile , “Can you please, pretty please just go check ? Even if it’s out a window.” she pouts and I can’t help but want to..”Fine, just this once.” I wink before slowly putting her baby in her arms and I head walk over to her window, but I can’t see anything .

“I will be right back.” I smile before leaving her room.

Heading out of the front door , my stomach twists at the sight of large wolves, wolves bigger than Aiden surrounding the pack , all stuck behind the wall.

Oh godess…

‘Get back inside.’ Aiden demands and I find him in front, standing in front of the invisible wall , looking right at me with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

My eyes flick to the wolves that are clawing to come in, slashes appear in the invisible wall in a neon blue and by the looks of how large it is, they could kill us in mere minutes…© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I stumble back when a arm drags me inside and I turn to look at a nurse, “Luna, please come inside.” she begs and with one more glance over my shoulder, I walk back into the hospital.

“I need to help..” I absentmindedly mutter while the nurse holds onto my wrist, not even caring that I am her superior.

“You need to be safe Luna and Felix woke up.” she smiles , making me nod as I slowly make my way back to my best friend’s room.

I enter and her eyes widen, but the hope makes me want to disappear .

“What’s going on out there?” she asks with a timid smile.

“It’s bad Rosie, we’re surrounded and if that wall disappears…” I can’t seem to press my lips together, the need for air is consuming me.

“How bad ?” she sits up, hissing with sore legs.

“It looks like hundred, large wolves.” I explain and her eyes flick down to her son… “Duncan…it means warrior. That’s what I want his name to be.” she forces a smile as a tear slides down her cheek.

“It’s perfect.” I stride over to her , looking at Felix who’s playing on my phone.

“Hey.” I round her bed before kneeling in front of my son , “I think you need to sit in the corner over there. I will get you some pillows.” I smile, hating that he’s near a window.

“Okay.” he smiles and I mind link a nurse for a few pillows and ask them if the windows could be covered , but they say no and go on with their day.

“Eleia, what’s wrong?” Rosie finally asks and I just shake my head.

“I’m afraid and I can’t do anything.” My hands start to shake as I pace up and down, luckily Felix is too occupied to realize that I am slowly, but surely , losing my mind.

“Calm down, please..” Rosie begs as she begins to cry. I hate seeing her cry, but right now , after giving birth to a watermelon sized baby, it’s overwhelming and feelings are everywhere.

” I am calm.” I shrug, lying to her and myself.

“No, you’re not..”

I freeze when my mind crosses Selena…

“I’ll be right back.” I mutter and I find a nurse to get me some salt.

I use the lobby of the building to throw salt into a triangle before I summon her.

Her dark hair and purple eyes appear before me in a ghost before she materializes fully.

“Ah, isn’t it the little mate ?” she c***s her head, her eyes turning neon and I don’t know if that is a good sign.

“I need your help…” I mutter, trying to stay collected.

“What ?” she scoffs, a low giggle erupting from her throat, “What could you possibly need ?” she raises a brow, “I need you to poison the barrier.” I hate that I am about to kill about a trillion wolves, “And then make it look like it’s disappearing so that every wolf would think they can enter but when they touch it, they’ll die.” I bare my teeth and a proud smile covers her face.

“Oh, I will do that for free.” she rubs her hands together, “You are my type of spirit.” she smirks before closing her eyes and I mind link the pack , to not touch the barrier even if it looks like it’s fading.

I cut Aiden’s yelling off .

“Are you sure it’s for free?” I ask and she nods, “I would have all their souls.” she grins before winking at me and disappearing.

I don’t know why she would want souls of wolves, but I don’t care.

All I care about is keeping my family safe, my entire pack and I don’t want to lose Aiden.

I am sure I will come to terms with the deal he made, but I can not forgive him yet, but that also doesn’t mean that I want to see him dead, because I don’t.

He’s still my mate and I am still his.

I stride outside , watching from the top as it looks like the wall is deteriorating, all the warriors, including Aiden and Stefan stepping back, shifting like they are about to fight and once it seems like the wall is gone, the Lycans start to pounce all at once from every angle, their snouts mushed into the wall, howls and cries escaping from them as they shock and slowly they begin to growl. I stand frozen as our warriors frown in confusion and one by one, the weakest to the strongest , they all fall, stumbling for collapsing to the ground in defeat.

Aiden looks at me but I ignore him until every wolf takes their last breath.

I love him with my entire body , soul and heart, even if he broke my heart.
