Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 37

JESSICA’S POV

—

Waking to the sound of the lightly creaking door makes my eyes pop open wide, but I don’t move because everything is still dark. The only light is the moon shining in from the window.

“Are you asleep?” Nathaniel’s voice comes from the door in a whisper and I just close my eyes, choosing to avoid him instead of sitting up and saying that I’m not.

I was asleep, until he creepily came into the room, ruining a perfectly good night’s rest.

His footsteps are heavy as he marches to the bathroom and he quietly closes the door. It’s only mere seconds until I hear the shower and I turn to face the bathroom door, glaring at the wooden surface that is letting light shine through the supposedly sealed door.

It gives the room a light glow and I can’t help but just lay here in bed and stare at nothing in particular.

I blink after a long minute when my eyes begin to feel dry and I stare at the ceiling when I turn onto my back.

The shower’s water shuts off after a few minutes and when the door opens, steam comes floating in, heating the cool air up.

“Oh.” Nathaniel halts in his tracks as he stares at me with his hand on the bathroom light switch.

“Hi.” I mutter after realizing that I was suppose to be sleeping. “Did I wake you?” He asks . “No, the ghost did.” I sit up and his eyes flick down to the shirt I’m wearing.

It’s one of his, I put it on after I couldn’t sleep.

“I’m sorry.” He switches the bathroom light off and marches over to the bed, wearing just his boxers.

I immediately turn my back to him and pull the duvet to my shoulders.

“Are you mad?” He asks in a mere whisper.

“No, I’m tired. It’s Goddess knows that time and I want to sleep.” I snap harshly and cuddle into my pillow.

I fall asleep in mere seconds and wake up to hands crawling all over my body as the sun shines into the room.

“Ah- ah.” I pull away from Nathaniel even though my body was aching to inch closer, to just levitate into his arms to let him touch me all over.

I get out of bed and drag my sleepy body to the bathroom without looking at him.

I take as long as I can in the bathroom before walking out and I freeze when I see him sitting on my side of the bed, his eyebrows furrowed together as he stares down at my phone.

“What’s this?” He holds it up and I roll my eyes as I strut over, tensing when I see a message from Nick.

“On the way.” Is all it says and I remember that he’s sending my things over.

“I asked Nick for my things and he’s sending it over.” I shrug and his eyes are lit with anger as he stares at me, “Are you leaving?” He frowns deeply, “I just said he’s sending my stuff over.” I grit out annoyed, “Are you deaf?” I raise my voice at him. “No, I’m not.” He stands, towering over me.

“Then stop acting like it and listen when I talk.” I snap and he steps forward, glaring at me and I step back, but not because of fear, no. I c**k my head at him, putting my hands on my h**s, “Do not try and intimidate me!” I growl loudly and his eyes widen.

“I didn’t…”, “You did.” I interrupt him.

“I’m sorry.” His hard face turns soft, looking pathetically sad.

“Sure.” I huff as I turn on my heel and walk to the closet.

I get dressed in front of him and leave the room without looking at him.

I hear him talking to me as I leave, but I throw a deaf ear and walk anyway despite him calling after me.

I patiently walk down to the school, greeting a lot of people that pass me…some girls glaring while faking a smile, some older ones who seem confused as to who I am and once I waltz into the school yard, I am greeted with a lot of squeals, hugs and smiles by little children.

I always wanted children, Nick and I even tried for a year…yet he couldn’t have any so we stopped, but a big part of me always thought that I was the problem because who ever heard of a infertile alpha?

The kids drag me by the hand into the classroom to read to them, the teacher, who is an omega comes to greet me with a kind smile.

“They loved how you read to them yesterday.” She giggles as her eyes drag over the tiny bodies.

“I loved reading to them too.” I smile as I watch the kids scurry around, looking for a book for me to read to them.

They settle on a wolf story, like most of these books are and I start reading about how the big wolf wasn’t what he said he was.

It’s about a tale of a human who’s a wolf, hut then he wasn’t an actual wolf, he was a beast.
