I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

I never thought that Regan Night would ever want to just talk and come to my pack alone .

It’s a miracle , a gift sent by the Moon Goddess herself .

“Aiden .” Eleia tugs on my shirt and I stop , glaring at Regan before I look at my precious mate .

My eyes soften , my facial features relaxing as I stare at her in awe .

“Yes .” I cup her cheek , nothing can ruin this moment .

Today , Regan is going to die and I am going to live in peace .

“What are you going to do ?” Her eyebrows furrow together , two frown lines forming between them .

“I’m going to kill him my love .” My thumb drags over her cheek .

She inhales a deep sharp breath as her eyes widen .

“You don’t want him gone ?” My eyes narrow , my happy mood now sour .

“I do .” She blinks twice , “But is it fair ?” She asks so innocently and my head c***s to the side as I stare at her .

“Do you think he cares Eleia ?” My head shakes .

“Do you think he cares that he f****d you , knowing fully that he was going to reject you ? Do you think that’s fair ?”

Her eyes become glassy as tears rest on the rim of her eyes .

“No .” Her chin wobbles and my heart aches .

“I’m not passing this up Eleia , he killed my sister . He thinks that I didn’t see him , but I did .” My voice is stern .

“I know .” She mutters , batting her eyelashes to get rid of her unshed tears .

“Are you going to be sad ?” I ask and she doesn’t hesitate to shake her head .

“And you’ll be okay ?” I ask , “Yes .” Her smile is forced , but I think it’s only because of her hormones .

I cup the sides of her belly sticking out .Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“This is our baby and for it to stay ours , we need to protect it . He’s a threat Eleia , do you understand ? If he finds out , he can take it away and I don’t want that because this child is yours .” My chin is tilted down as I stare down at her .

She sucks her plump bottom l*p into her mouth , chewing on it and I can’t seem to drag my eyes off the simple action .

I pull her closer , lowering my head to place a k**s on her soft looking lips .

They are as soft as they look , each and every time .

“I’m going to go and you go and relax , because after today , we will have no more Regan and we’ll go claim his pack or kill them all .” I grin and her eyes widen as she steps back , “There are children Aiden .” She shoves my chest and I grab her wrist , “I won’t hurt kids , don’t you know me ?” I c**k my head at her and she rolls her eyes .

“We’re mates , but it doesn’t mean that I know everything about you .” She frowns deeply , making me roll my eyes as I let her go .

“I won’t hurt a kid , especially not an innocent one .” I shrug .

“What age do you think a kid is ?” She c***s her head back at me .

“Ten .” I shrug and her eyes widen , fear flashing through her orbs .

“What ?” I ask .

“A kid is someone who isn’t an adult , a kid is eighteen and younger Aiden . You can’t kill children !” She punches my stomach and I grunt at her hard blow .

I did not think that a pregnant woman could hit that hard .

“Tell me you won’t .” She points her finger in my face as my body is hauled over .

“I promise .” I g***n as I straighten my back .

“Good .” She turns on her heel and charges up to the room .

I can’t help but glance as her from behind until she fully disappears and I stride down to the dungeon below my home .

The sound of my footsteps echoing around the dark basement makes it a lot creepier than I thought it would be .

I haven’t been down here much because I never needed , but I can’t help but smile when I walk down the hall in the light , staring at Regan chained up to the wall , guards standing around against the wall .

“Regan .” I clap my hands together , the thwack sound echoing off the walls .

“Aiden , I came to talk . Let me go .” His voice is hoarse , the silver chains weakening him .

I chuckle , shaking my head at him .

“You delivered yourself on a silver platter my old friend .” I shrug , but my smile doesn’t bulge a second .

“I came to talk .” He tries to defend himself , but it comes through the one ear and goes out of the other .

“I did not invite you on my pack .” I lower onto my haunches , I have been dreaming of this moment for so long .

“That means trespassing , if you were a complete stranger , I would maybe have given you a pass if you threw the lost card at me , but you know that this is my pack , so this is all on you .” My index finger draws a circle in the air before I point at him , grinning as he lazily lifts his head , glaring at me .

“Is it my child ?”

“Why did you kill my sister ?”

His eyebrows furrow together , eyes narrowing .

“I did not kill her .” He grits out every word , emphasizing on it and it’s the first thing that tells me he’s lying .

“Stop lying Night , I saw .” I stand and his gaze follows me .

The instant flash of fear covering his face before he covers it with anger tells me that he didn’t know I was there , but I never went anywhere without her , I did not let my sister wander off without me because I was her brother , I was her protector and I failed because I thought kids weren’t a threat and that’s what Eleia doesn’t see .

Kids can be monsters too and he’s been one since he was in the womb .

“I think that you don’t know what you saw Moon , you were a kid . You might have seen how I dragged her out of the water .” He c***s his head , he is so cocky that it makes my hands itch .

“You can say things that you hoped would be true , but it does nothing to me because that day plays over and over in my head and I am going to kill you for even laying a finger on her .” I grit out and his eyes grow dark , hatred flashing through them .

“I will kill you and your mate !” He threatens , jerking forward as he uses his last energy to try and get free , but at the moment , he’s as weak as a human .

I lower again , holding my hand out and the guard hands me a silver blade knife .

“Not when you’re dead .” I grin and his lips are pressed together as I slowly bring the knife closer to his face , lightly pressing the point on his cheek .

He jerks to the side and the knife slides , cutting his cheek .

“You i***t , you’re going to regret this .” He seethes and I grin , “I won’t because I have been waiting for this day since my sister took her last breath .”

“Screw you Aiden .” He spits and his saliva misses me by an inch .

“Oef , I’m sorry for you .” I tease him and he growls that turns into a cough .

“Save your breath , maybe I’ll give you a chance to say something to your mate , but of course I’d give her the message because you’d be dead .” I shrug and he keeps on glaring at me .

“You know what ? I did kill her and I would do it again to prove that I am worthy to he my father’s son . He was proud and so was I and I still am .” He seethes , a grin tugging at his lips and anger brews in my chest .

I don’t know why I’m so angry that I can’t move or blink , I knew he did it , but having him admit it for once just drives me to a point where I am beyond angry .

I don’t hesitate to put the knife to his throat .

“And I don’t regret that I will be the father of your child .”

His entire smirk falls as his eyes widen , “I f*****g knew it .” He seethes , “You won’t kill that kid’s father .” He tuts , acting like he knows me .

“Look at you .” I shake my head , “You don’t know me .” I remove the knife that I’m holding to his throat .

“You don’t deserve anything .” I plunge the knife into his heart , a scream erupts from him and it turns to a g***n .

“Thank you for coming to talk , “But the last word is mine .” I leave the silver knife in his chest as I stand and b***d drips from his mouth and eyes before he lets out his last breath.

Tears form in my eyes as I take in his dead body , he’s gone , but I don’t feel peace .

I don’t feel better .

The only thing that makes sense is that he won’t know his kid and he won’t ever hurt another living being again .
