Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 26

JESSICA’S POV

—

I can’t believe that Nathaniel shoved me into the car like an object. My arm hurts from his tight grip he had on me.

I stare at Nick as he sits on his a*s, glaring at my mate and I just turn away. Nick is not someone I have to be concerned about anymore. He has his pack, his mate and he can move on, because I have.

I had enough of waiting for him to let her go and he couldn’t.

“What the hell was that?” Nathaniel slams his door shut behind him after getting into the car. I stare at him, “He told me to stay.” I admit honestly and he snorts, his blazing gaze flicking past me and I grab his hand before he could get out.

“I told him no. So can we please just leave this place and go home?” I try my best to batt my eyelashes seductively. He might have grabbed me tightly and shoved me into the car, but he did make sure that I don’t hit my head by placing his hand between the car door arch and my head and he made sure I was safely inside the car before shutting the door in my face.

Nathaniel sighs, his hand raking through his dark hair before he speeds off.

“Can you slow down?” I snap as he speeds through the gates, not caring about the guard he almost hits.

“This is ridiculous.” I throw my hands in the air, seething while Nathaniel just grips the steering wheel in a deadly grip.

“Stop acting so innocent.” Nathaniel finally speaks and I’m shook by his words. “Excuse me? What did I do?” I sneer. My eyes narrow into slits as my body is turned to him. “You know what I mean.” He mutters disinterested.

It’s like he wants to fight, but he doesn’t.

It’s all very confusing.

He himself is strange, he’s closed off and caring at the same time, but it’s like he’s taking his personal feelings put of our relationship.

He keeps things to himself, like the elders and where he went last night.

It’s very frustrating when you try to understand a closed book, especially when you don’t know why it’s closed.

“I honestly don’t.” I deadpan, “You wanted to come here, you wanted to be here. You wanted to see him.” He seethes.

“I didn’t! I know those women, I have handled them before.” I grit out as I face the front.

“I would have loved to help them fix their problems, but they went too far. They are going to hurt one another soon and I was not having it.” I snort.

Realization hits me that he’s being jealous, that he’s scared that I’d just come back…hell I almost left alone to come back this morning when Nick called waving the white flag and asking for help.

But I would have come no matter what, if this pack that I grew up in needed me, I wouldn’t hesitate to say yes, but by the angry looks of Nathaniel, I might have to just to save my relationship with my mate.

He hasn’t marked me yet and without claiming me, he could reject me any moment.

It’s strange how for years on end I imagined how I would meet my mate.

It would have been an accident, perhaps in town or at a ball. Never did I think I’d meet him because I went home with someone else and my mate just happened to be the Lycan Alpha.

Anyway, I would have stood my ground, keeping my chin up while I stood in the most beautiful gown while I told him that I could never be with him because I love someone else.

But it’s not like that anymore…

“You don’t have to lie, I just want the truth.” He sighs and I slowly turn my head towards him, “I love that pack, I do. But it’s my past and you, my greatest love, are my future.” I smile and it feels weird to call him my love.

All I ever called him was alpha Nathaniel or just Nathaniel. I never once tried Nate since his beta is using that nickname and I felt the need to have my own Nickname for him, but there isn’t much.

Nathaniel stares at me and I smile at him and he stops looking ahead of the car, his gaze focusing on me.

“Nathaniel!” I gasp as I glance to the front of the car and we’re heading straight for a tree.

He pulls his handbrakes up high as he turns his wheel, his eyes focused on the big tree trunk his side of the car is sliding toward and I shriek all the way until the car comes to a steady halt a foot away from the tree.

“Well that was close.” Nathaniel scoffs with a smile on his face. “You can’t do that!” I smack his arm and he gasps sarcastically , staring at me with a teasing gaze.

“Calm down, I wouldn’t let anything happen to you, ever.” He promises and I could tell that he’s serious.

My pale orbs stare right into his vibrant ones and I couldn’t ignore the hint of orange darkness in them.

“You are beautiful.” His hand raises between us and he twirls a strand of my black hair around his finger, all while staring into my eyes.

His tainted emeralds flick down to my slightly parted lips and I tense when he slowly leans in, so smoothly, not making any sudden moves as we slowly pull together like magnets.

Slow and then all at once .

We’re both hovering over the console between our seats, our lips wrestling while his hand rakes into my hair from the bottom, his hand fisting my hair as he pulls me closer, his other hand reaches for my waist and he pulls me onto his lap all while his seat shoots back and I straddle him, his hard c**k poking me right between my legs.

His hands are fast under my shirt, kneading my breasts over my bra and the sudden uncomfortable feeling settles in my stomach.

I can’t do this here…

It’s so close to my old home and I want new things.

I want it to be comfortable and hot, nothing more and nothing less.

“Wait.” I mutter when his hand reaches behind me to unclip my bra.

“What?” He freezes, his hot breath fanning against my collarbones.

“I don’t want to do this here…” I frown down at him. His eyebrows arch together, “Do what? We’re only making out.” He shrugs and my lips part and form a very wide O

“Continue then.” I toss my hair over my shoulder before dipping my head and I crash my lips against his hard and fast.

Making out in a car makes everything more intimate because of the close quarters we’re stuffed in.

We tumble to the side and I shriek as I hold onto Nathaniel while the car feels like it’s about to tip over.

His hand snakes around the small of my back, holding me to him and his other hand pressing against the roof of the car. His head frantically turns from the one side to the other as he holds me in a firmly tight grip.

“Oh my goddess!” I squeal as something hits the car and we tip over.
