REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Victoria’s POV

He pulled me closer to himself so that we were just an inch apart. “I’m not okay.” He mumbled those words and locked eyes with me. I glanced at him with stunned eyes and struggled to move away from him, but he tightened his grip on my waist, and pulled me closer to himself. “What are you doing?” I asked with a trembling voice. “What I should have done the minute we stepped in here.” he did not let those words finish from his mouth before he yanked me to himself and made me sit on his lap.

I gasped and tried to move away, but he tightened his grip on my waist and locked eyes with me. Staring into his eyes, I realized he reminded me of a certain someone.

“I’m not ready for things like this.” I murmured while avoiding his gaze.

He stared at me with guilt in his eyes and gently pulled me away, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gone this far.” He grumbled, while standing to his feet.

I was filled with regrets as I watched him leave. Angrily, I thumped my foot on the floor and cursed myself for acting in such a way.

Everything in me was yelling for his touch. I wished to feel his touch, but I was scared, really scared. He was a total stranger and I know nothing about him, not even his face or his real name, but I was so drowned to him, and it feels like I knew him for a long time.

Curiously, I stared around and noticed he was nowhere around, and I thought maybe he was angry and left me.

Sighing heavily, I stood up from the couch and was on my way out when I saw him coming in. “Are you going somewhere.” he asked while raising his eyebrows at me. “I thought you got angry and left.” I murmured while avoiding his gaze.

He chuckled at my words, moved closer to me and turned my face to him, so I could hold his gaze. “I always keep my promises, and it’s just 2pm, I can’t leave you just like that.” he expressed those words as an assurance and stepped away from me.

“I went out to answer a business call.” He moved away from me and sat on the couch, fixing his gaze on the TV.

Inhaling nervously, I walked over to him and stood beside him while I nervously twisted my fingers. “Are you okay ?” He asked, with his gaze still at the TV. I swallowed nervously before speaking, “I apologize for earlier, I did…” he did not let me finish my word when he brought forth his hand to me, indicating I should stop talking. “It’s okay, stop apologizing.” He growled those words coldly then and there I knew I had lost him for good.

“Come sit, another movie is about to start.” he announced, with his gaze still at the TV. I sat beside him and tried to focus my attention on the TV, but I couldn’t. I was so drowned to him that I constantly glanced at him.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He met eyes with me and I felt my body quiver when I felt his two sets of green eyes on me.

“Do you have something to say to me?” he asked with his gaze still at the TV. “No, no.” I replied quickly and looked away, ashamed of my childish behavior.

He chuckled and shook his head before speaking, “Are you scared of me?” he asked while fixing his two sets of green eyes on me. “No, why should I.” I chuckled nervously and looked away. I could feel his gaze on me, but I dared not look at him. “Very good.” He responded and looked away.

We sat there in total silence and none of us said a word for a while until I decided to speak. “Can we play a game?” I asked, while avoiding his gaze. “Sure.” he replied quickly without asking questions.

“What kind of game should we play?” I asked, and he kept silent and thought for a while before he responded, “Truth and dare.” He suggested.

“Truth or dare?” I asked, a bit anxious.

“Yeah, are you scared?” He asked while staring at me with his two sets of green eyes that made my body quiver. “No, no.” I beamed at him and quickly looked away. “Very well, let’s start, I’ll go first.” He said, while I nodded my head in agreement.

“Truth or dare?” he asked while taking off his shoes, leaving his feet in just his socks. “Truth.” I replied, also taking off my shoes.

“Have you ever fallen in love?” He asked so quickly, like the question had been in his mind for a long time.

Those questions from him made me nibble my lips nervously because I didn’t know the answer to give.

“I’ll go get a drink.” He left the couch and went for a drink in the bar.

“What should I say to him.” I murmured to myself as I went into deep thought.

I was in love. I was in love with him, but if I told him I had fallen in love, he would think it was someone else, and I don’t want him to have such a thought.

Within a minute, he came back and kept a bottle of whiskey on the floor. ”If you can’t perform your dare or answer your question, you will have to fill up this glass and drink all the content.” He announced while dropping a glass beside the bottle of whiskey.

I stared at the glass and gulped because I knew if I drank at least four glasses from this glass, I was sure to be drunk.

“So are you ready to answer truthfully?” he asked while staring at me like he wanted to pierce through my soul.

“Yes.” I whispered, almost to myself.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at me with curiosity, “Yes what?” He asked, fixing his gaze on me.

I bit my lips and whispered slowly. ”I have fallen in love with someone.” He stared at me for a while before nodding his head.” Your turn.” He announced, “Truth or dare ?”. I asked

“Truth.” He uttered calmly.

“What’s your real name?” I asked, a question that had been in my mind since last night.
