Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 33

JESSICA’S POV

—

Waking up to whispers was not what I was expecting…My eyes flick open, but no one is in front of me, but the whispering continues and the sun isn’t at it’s brightest anymore.

“I thought you weren’t going to…” I could tell Louis was in the room and I finally realize that I’m completely naked under the covers.

“I wasn’t…I never do, but she wanted to…and when we were doing it…The idea of not marking her just faded and everything inside of me just wanted to…like if I didn’t do it, I would die.” Nathaniel sighs and my heart slightly breaks.

He didn’t want to mark me?

But I’m his mate…

I could feel Zola slowly fade, because she didn’t want to hear this and neither did I, but my curiosity is getting the best of me.

“So this one is serious?” I could hear the teasing tone Louis was using…

But what did he mean by this one? We all get just one mate, don’t we?

“I guess so.” I want to know if he’s smiling…I want to know if he’s frowning but the warm feeling in my chest is definitely not coming from me…

I can feel him…I can finally feel him.

“Are you going to…”, “Just go.” Nathaniel demands and Louis laughs. I hear his footsteps across the floor and I close my eyes, afraid he might be looking at me and the door slowly closes.

I wait a few minutes before turning onto my back, slowly opening my eyes and my gaze locks on his as he sits on the couch.

“Hi.” I force a smile and he sighs, “What did you hear?” He asks and my heart drops into my stomach. “What?” I ask confused. “I can feel your confusion.” He grits out, “Because I was awake a minute ago.” I frown.

I know that I shouldn’t lie, that I should ask him about what he said…but I can’t. I am scared of what the answer might be…

“Hours actually.” He snorts as he lowers his leg and my eyes trail down to his naked chest .

“Hours?” My eyes widen and he nods, “I think your body needed the rest.” He leans forward, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands holding one another, “But I knew you were awake…I could feel it.” He shrugs and I chew on my bottom l*p as I sit up, staring at him with narrowed eyes, “Then care to explain?” I frown and the sly smirk creeping up his face makes me uncomfortable.

“It’s a story for another day.” He shrugs as he stands up and walks over to me, sitting down on the bed. “But I am one of many I hear.” I grit out as jealousy creeps into my chest.

“No, there’s no one like you Jessica.” He reaches for my face but I pull back, “How can I believe you when you won’t tell me what’s going on?” I raise a questionable brow at him, “Because I will trust you blindly and I expect you to do the same.” He shrugs and I hate that he just played the trust card.

I do trust him, he saved me…he came for me and I owe him a lot. Nick could have shot me, not that he would, but he could have.

“Fine.” I huff as I get out of the bed. I reek of s*x, it’s all over my skin, “Where are you going?” He asks as I cover myself with the light linen of the bedding. I hum a*s I walk to the bathroom door, standing in the doorway before I drop the material, “To shower.” I shrug and his eyes fall to my a*s as I glance at him over my shoulder, “You are welcome to join.” I shrug, blushing when he stands up and I walk into the bathroom, heading straight for the shower.

After Nathaniel drilled into me as he pinned me to the shower wall, he gently washes my hair, my body feeling like I’m being pampered all over by just having his fingers massaging my scalp.

“I was thinking…” he starts and I hum in response as I couldn’t form any sort of word, “We should have a Luna ceremony for you.” He mutters and my eyes ping open and I turn to look at him, “That’s sweet…but who would follow me? I am less than any of these people.” I snort.

I feel like I’m nothing because all of these people are Lycans…they won’t listen to me because they are in a higher position than I am.

“Jessica…” Nathaniel smiles sweetly down at me, “It doesn’t matter if they are ranking higher because they are Lycans.” His thumb drags over my cheek, “It’s leading that they want, not to be shunted around.”

“Well when you put it like that…” I smile warily. I just can’t imagine myself running around here, doing things and asking them to do it too, they are of higher rank. I wouldn’t even listen to me if I were them.

“I am not saying it to make you feel better, it is what it is princess.” His smile is so soft that it melts all of my worries away.

“When will the ceremony be?” I change the subject of my insecurities. I don’t want him to think less of me just because I do. I want him to see my best side, I want to make him proud and see the real me.

I can lead, I have done it for a few years and him telling me he wants me to be his Luna is a big deal because he doesn’t need one, he is an amazing alpha and for him to want me to be his equal is more important than the idiotic thoughts inside of my head.
