Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 49

NATHANIEL’S POV

—

Tracking my mate down to the place I’d least expect her to be is making my hands itch, my teeth sore and my anger bursting out of control.

I stand on the edge of the West Pack’s border, glaring into the calm atmosphere of the pack…how could she come here? I can smell her, she was standing on running right where I am now, her scent tainted with fear and b***d…Did she get hurt?

As I glance left to right, mentally scoffing as I don’t see any guards, I step into the border, which alerts a few guards and they come running over, snarling in their wolf form, ready to attack.

“I’m here for Luna Jessica.” I growl, shaking the branches of the trees above me, leaves falling around me and they stop in their tracks, some cowering back but the fear in their eyes when they realize who I was shows.

Pathetic, if they continue like this, any Lycan could come and claim their land and theirs.

The sharp sound of glass breaking catches my attention and I glance to the side where a light-colored wolf jumps out of the window from the top floor, the glass shattering, following him down.

He snarls and snaps, no fear indicated near him, “Cut the big act Nick.” I scoff and he lowly growls before shifting back into his human form. One of his guards hands him shorts to put on and his eyes doesn’t leave mine as he covers himself.

“What are you doing here?” he snarls. He’s protective over his pack, but the audacity to act like he doesn’t know why I’m here isn’t going to help him. “You know why I’m here.” I shrug and his eyes narrow as he tilts his head confused, “I can f*****g smell her, don’t lie to me and piss me off.” I snarl and he smiles at me, “She came through here, grabbed a few things before leaving. You are more than welcome to sniff around and look for her, but she isn’t here. She hasn’t been here for hours.” he shrugs and I could feel my heart starting to hammer. He’s telling the truth, his heartbeat didn’t even spike as he talked. “Where did she go?” I step closer and his head tilts back as he starts to laugh out loud, “Oh you humor me Nate. I can’t tell you that, I mean I could, but I won’t because she made herself very clear when she said she needed to be alone.” he shrugs and I want to hate him, well I do, but he respects her and he didn’t try to keep her here…It’s sort of honorable. “I’m going to look around, just because I don’t trust you.” I seethe as I step to the side, but I’m blocked by guards. Nick clears his throat and the guards glance at him before clearing away in front of me.

I glance at the idiotic blonde over my shoulder, “Good choice.” I deadpan before following her scent. I replace their pack house and I linger around, walking to the living room where her scent is mixed with his on the same couch. My b***d boils, but I could smell his mate too, she was here, meaning nothing happened and if something did happen, I would have felt it.

I shake the cheating thoughts away before leaving the house again and I follow her to a garage where over a dozen cars are parked.

“She took one of our cars.” Nick’s voice appears behind me and I hum in response. Of course he let her take a car, he’d do anything to see her get away from me. He hates me because he thinks I stole her, but she belongs to me, she has since birth and they never would have gotten together if I was in the picture, I’m her mate and ten times more good looking.

“Which car?” I grit out, staring at the garage. “My opal, or was it the mercedez? I can’t quite remember.” the taunting tone does nothing but piss me off and I turn, using my vampire speed to close the distance between us and his eyes widen in shock, “I bet she told you, don’t act so surprised.” I seethe.

“Which car?” I grit out, staring at the garage. “My opal, or was it the mercedez? I can’t quite remember.” the taunting tone does nothing but piss me off and I turn, using my vampire speed to close the distance between us and his eyes widen in shock, “I bet she told you, don’t act so surprised.” I seethe.

He was her best friend since they were kids, how could she not tell him? The in love feelings might have vanished, but the true friendship bond that they formed never did.

“Tell me what? And how did you do that? What the f**k are you man?” he rambles so fast that my hearing barely keeps up. He stumbles back, fear in his eyes and I scoff, hating that I thought she would tell him…But now I have to.

“I’m not just a Lycan you fuckhead.” I roll my eyes and turn my back to him, “Then what are you?” his voice gets further away and I turn to look at him, “A Lycan Hybrid.” it’s like all the life drains out of his face as he just stares at me.

“Did you hurt her? Was that why she ran? Or did you just tell her and she ran? I swear I’m nothing against you but I will fight you if you hurt her.” He seethes, I could tell he was scared, but he wanted to fight me even though I am a hundred times stronger and faster.

He loves her and I hate that.

My jealousy spikes as I glare at him, “I would never hurt her, the elders told her without my permission.” I roll my eyes. I walk up to him, my eyes never leaving his, “Tell me where she is.” I mind control him and his body calms, “At the Gold Gate hotel.” his voice is lifeless and it’s always fascinating how dead they seem when being mind controlled.

“Forget I asked,” I demand and everything goes back to normal. He shoves me back, frowning deeply, “Get the f**k away from me.” he growls and I step back, raising my hands.

“She’s not here, alright? And you won’t replace her so just go and leave my pack alone, it was hers too after all.” he threatens and I can’t believe he just said that. It makes it hard to slaughter everyone in here knowing that my little mate loved them…If she didn’t, I would have killed Nick a long time ago, the minute he laid hands on her. I don’t get why she just forgave him, but I guess she was thinking of the pack she lead, because that’s what I would have done…I wouldn’t betray my pack and Nick is the only leader left.

“Nick?” Tiffany marches in, rubbing her eyes as she yawns. Her mouth stretches wide and I stare at her, frowning. Her eyes widen at the sight of me, the b***d draining from her face. She quickly fluffs her hair, tucking it behind her ear, forcing the most fakest smile I have ever seen, “What are you doing here?” she asks, batting her eyelashes and Nick raises his eyebrow at her as he turns his body to face her, “He’s looking for Jessica, stop being such a slut.” he growls. her eyes widen before flicking to me, “I wasn’t…” she starts, but I had enough of her flirting, “You are.” I deadpan and her jaw drops, her mouth hanging open in disbelief, “Nick, I wasn’t!” she cries. “Go to bed then.” Nick deadpans and her head lowers in shame as she turns and walks out.

“I see why you’re obsessed with my mate, I wouldn’t want that either.” I snort and he growls, “There’s nothing wrong with her.” He growls, defending his mate that was just flirting with me. “Sure.” I nod, “I’m leaving and thanks for telling me where she is.” I wink, not waiting for him to answer me as I speed out of their pack. I stop at the gate, staring at the road, wishing I took a car, but I ignore it and shift, running towards the city.

Appearing right in front of the Gold Gate hotel, I stare up at the large building, inhaling a deep breath, focusing on her and I smell her, her scent is faint in the city as other smells makes hers fade. I strut in, my muddy boots leaving trails behind me. The lady behind the desk notices and she stands up, rushing over to me, “Stop, stop !” she yells, waving her hands all over. I frown at her, freezing in my steps, “Hello sir.” she plasters on a fake smile, “Hi.” my eyes narrow on her. “Could you please just take your shoes off?” she asks so nicely, but I could tell that she was screaming on the inside. The way her eyes widen each second tells me that she’s pissed, but she has to be polite.

“I don’t think so. I don’t know how clean your floors are.” I shrug, offering her an apologetic smile.

“Then let’s clean your shoes, follow me, please.” she gestures toward her desk and I sigh, following her. She pulls out her small chair, gesturing for me to sit. The wheels squeak as I sit down, the back of the chair leaning backward. She grabs a pack of wipes and kneels to her knees. Some part of me hates this, seeing another woman in front of me on her knees, but the other part loves this. I love seeing her eyes sparkle as she glances up at me. She’s attracted to me and it’s going to be fun toying with her.

“Are you here to book in?” she asks, her eyes fixed on my muddy shoes that she wipes clean, tossing the wipes into the bin as if it were s**t on my shoes. “I’m here to see someone.” I deadpan, not once taking my eyes off her.

She’s human, yet so arrogant…I hate when humans are like this, they don’t understand the elegancy of true politeness, they don’t understand loyalty, but then again, she’s cleaning my shoes to save her job I guess…

“Who?” she asks, “Jessica. I believe she booked in tonight.”

The woman glances up at me with concern, “Is she family?” she asks before tossing the last wipe into the bin and she gets off her knees that are now red.

“Yes.” I smile and this time, she genuinely smiles at me. She must think that Jessica is my sister or cousin, but she’s my love, my life and my heart.

“Does she know that you’re here?” she asks, sitting down onto the table, crossing her one leg over the other. I internally laugh as she tries to seduce me, “She should, I told her I was coming.” I lie. “Well perhaps we could hang out before you go up.” she shrugs and I laugh, shaking my head as I raise from the chair, “I better not, I had to bring her some things urgently.” I shrug and the pout forming on her face makes me ill.

“Oh well, perhaps we could have a drink before you leave.” I hum as I round her desk, “Maybe, what room is she in again?” I ask and she glances down at her computer, typing something, “The suite.” she smiles and I nod, “Thanks.” and I leave without another word
