Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 31

NICK’S POV

—

I’ve been running around the entire time looking for Tiffany, but no one has seen her, yet there is no car missing, meaning she had to leave on foot because I searched every inch of this entire pack.

I become restless as I call her parents, but they don’t even answer their phone and I can’t call her because she left her phone in our room.

As I head to the border, I’m ready to shift and search for her, but I halt in my steps when she comes out, wearing a t-shirt.

“f*****g hell, where the hell were you?” I bellow as I come closer to her. She smells like another male and my jaw tenses, but the sight of her tear stained face makes me weak.

“Tiff…” my eyebrows furrow together and I frown as she comes running into my arms.

“Nathaniel…Jessica’s mate…he had me kidnapped.” She starts to cry as her face is buried in my chest and all I see is black as I hold her to me. “I’ll kill him.” I growl and she shakes her head, clutching my shirt in her hands, “Don’t leave me.” She cries and my heart sinks.

I thought that they were giving us a warning…but kidnapping my mate is unacceptable. I thought we left on good terms…but if they want a war, I will give it to them.

The entire day Tiffany has been clinging to me, she seems so scared but every time I asked what was wrong and what happened, she shuts down and cuddles into my chest. I haven’t done anything accept be with her. I had to cancel several meetings by calling three people and every time, she’s ask who I was calling.

I don’t know why she wouldn’t just let me sort this out and I can’t help but wonder if he threatened her and I don’t even know when they took her…or how.

Maybe when they came over, they weren’t alone.

A shiver runs through my spine as I think of what they could have done to her because she came home in just a shirt, but then again…maybe she shifted as she ran home, but where would she replace the shirt? It’s definitely not one of ours.

My heart is yearning to know because without knowing….I can’t do anything to help her.

“Just tell me what happened.” I rub her back while she lays in my arms. “Uh-ah” she mumbles and I blow out a breath.

“I need to know or I can’t help or do anything, why won’t you tell me?” I try and talk and gently as possible, knowing that she doesn’t want to tell me, but I have to try.

“Can you just leave it alone!?” She snaps as she props up onto her elbow, staring at me with narrowed eyes.”Yeah, alright.” I offer a small smile, but she rolls her eyes and turns her back to me before pulling the duvet over her shoulders.

“Can I turn off the lights?” I ask in a low voice and she doesn’t answer.

I sit up, sighing as I reach for the light and I turn on my side to lay down, staring out of the window and I can’t help but thinking of her.

I never had to ask so many times about what was wrong because we had a really good relationship. I really thought that some part of her still cared for me, that she loved me and wanted to see me happy, like she is. I don’t fully accept her new life because I do miss her…but I’m happy she’s safe and loved.

I just wish that Tiffany and I had that bond that Jessica and I use to have, I want to feel involved in her life and look at us…she was kidnapped and she doesn’t even want to tell me what happened, how it happened and why it happened.

I don’t blame her for the why…because she probably has no clue. I didn’t tell her I tracked their car. I didn’t tell her that I was looking out for my ex mate and I can’t imagine how scared she must have been.

Nathaniel and his entire pack aren’t normal wolves like us, they are the wolves. The top rank ones, the ones with authority, even their omega’s can kick my a*s and that is why all the people fear them.

I had hoped that Jessica would be too afraid to stay there, but she’s living there, being happy.

I wouldn’t even be mad if she came back crying, I’d accept her, but it is too late for her to be Luna again…that is now Tiffany’s soon to be title.

The pack doesn’t love her as much as they did Jessica, but it’s because they don’t know her yet, it will all change…she’ll become better, our relationship will become great and open, it just takes time.

Waking up to an empty bed, I begin to panic until I hear the water of the shower running and my tense muscles relax. I throw the duvet off before heading into bathroom.

I watch as she rinses her dark hair under the water and for a split second, I think it’s Jessica with her pitch black locks…I shake thoughts away as I undress and join her in the shower.

“Hi.” She smiles as she snakes her arms around my neck, holding me to her. “Hi.” I beam as I k**s her temple, nose and then lips.

She leans into me, her slippery skin pressing against my semi dry one and she k****s me back. It’s like the little disagreement we had last night didn’t even happen.

Her hands tighten around my neck and she pulls me closer and closer until I sweep her off her feet and I press her back against the tiled wall. She gasps as my hardwood presses against her and I can’t help but love her at this very moment.

After showering, we get dressed and she acts normal, like she wasn’t missing for goddess knows how long.

We head downstairs to eat and she greets everyone with a small smile.

I pull her to the side and she frowns at me in confusion, “You don’t have to put up the brave face.” I touch her arm and she steps back, her eyes widening, “Excuse me?” She looks so confused…Did they give her something to forget that she was taken? But that can’t be possible, they aren’t witches…but they did remove the mark..they are something.

“You being kidnapped…” my eyes narrow and I see the moment it hits her, the exact moment she realises. “It wasn’t too bad, I was just emotional. I’m fine.” She smiles and even though I want to argue with her, I can’t.

“Are you sure? Do you want to go talk to someone about it?” I offer and she nibbles on her perfectly plump botttom l*p, “I think I do.” She nods, and before I could suggest a therapist, she interrupts me, “I think I’ll go visit my parents.” She beams and my eyes widen, “Your parents?” I absentmindedly snort. The last time she was in need, they sent her off to me and it derailed my entire life.

I shot my own people and I almost shot Jess, even though I knew I couldn’t do it, I sometimes still have nightmares about it.

The way she screamed echoes through my ears, the way her face became full of fear…the look in her eyes when she looked at me.it haunts me.

“Yes, why?” Her eyes narrow on me and I sigh, nodding. “No reason, do you want me to take you?” I offer and her face scrunches up as she shakes her head, “No, I’ll just take a car,” she shrugs and I nod, “You sure? Are you going to be able to drive ?” I ask for reassurance and she sighs, her jaw tightening, “I said I’m fine,” she grits out and I throw my hands in the air, “Alright, if you say so..” I shrug and she gives me a questioning look before brushing past me. “Where are you going?” I ask as I turn and follow her, “To get my bag and my phone.” Her tone is harsh, unkind and not caring before she waltzes up the stairs.

I wait at least five minutes before she comes back down, looking chirpy and excited before she hooks her arm into mine, “So what car am I taking?” She beams and it makes me laugh. I have shown her our cars and I know she likes the look of my sportscar, but she can’t drive that thing, no one does except me.

I let Jessica try it once and she almost crashed.

“The safest one, for sure.” I chuckle as we walk into the garage and in the glass box is all the keys. I walk her to the suv and her face scrunches up in disgust, “I am not being seen in that thing unless I’m dead,” she grits out, stomping her foot as she grunts and my head snaps into her direction, my eyes flicking down to her foot and I burst out in a fit of laughter, “What was that?” I snort. I never seen or heard someone do that. “What was what?” She snaps and my eyes widen at her feral tone. “Nothing. But it’s the only car you can take.” I shrugs and her eyes narrow on me, “I want to drive that one!” She turns on her heels and points at my sports car, “Cute, but no.” I deadpan, showing her I’m serious. “Excuse me?” She sneers, “I said no.” I shrug, smiling and her eyes narrow on me. “I want to.” She grits out every word. “No is no, goddess, did your parents never teach you that?” I c**k my head at her and she swats the SUV’s keys out of my hand and stomps over to the glass case with keys before taking every single one, opening the car to see what it is and hangs it back. I capture her wrist as she reaches for my sports car’s keys.

“I said no.” I growl and she snarls at me before elbowing me in the ribs, knocking the air out of my lungs and I haunch over, growling lowly in pain and she grabs the keys, squealing as she runs off ti the car and I force myself to run after her even though it feels like I might drop dead right this second.

“Tiffany!” I growl loudly, making her halt in her steps as she reaches for the car door. She looks at me as I slowly inch closer, “Don’t, that is my prized possession.” I grit out and she opens the door, “So am I.” She winks before sinking into the car and shutting the door. Before I could open the door again, she locks the doors and I can’t replace myself to bust the windows to get to her, it would hurt me, the car and her,

I found the car, standing in front of it and the car roars to life. I am not letting this car leave this garage.

Not unless it is over my dead body.

“Move!” She yells through the window she cracked open an inch and I stare her down, shaking my head. She begins to lean on the hooter, repeatedly pushing it to make me move, but I don’t until she turns the car off.

I round the car as she opens the door, “You really are self centred,” she sneers before shoving the keys into my hands and she walks to the SUV.
