Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 56

JESSICA’S POV

—

Waking up to a moving car, I could feel my head pounding as I try to open my eyes but it stings and I squeeze them shut before slowly opening them. As my eyes open, I recognize the car as I lay on the back seat, my eye sight a little blurry as I glance around. I don’t make a noise as the memories of what happened replays in my head.

All I remember is driving home when a car speeds up next to me and when I looked, it was Nick, but his face got closer before my car swerved and then nothing…

He ran me off the road…he hit his own car.

I inhale a deep breath as I prop myself onto my elbows, lifting my head. My ears ring a bit, but I tighten my jaw, opening and closing my mouth and my ears pop open.

I see the back of Nick’s head and when I sit up, staring into the rear view mirror, his eyes are on me.

“I’m sorry.” he mutters and I notice how his hands are gripped around the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.

“What did you do?” I rub the side of my head, grimacing when I feel something hard in my hard.

I scrape it, hissing when it stings and I look at my fingers, seeing dried crimson pieces. “Oh my Goddess…” I mutter as I wipe it down on his back seat, not caring if he gets upset.

“Pull over Nick.” I scoot to the door, but as I pull on the handle, wanting to make him stop, it does nothing. The door doesn’t open and a huge wave of panic fills me.

“I can’t.” He mutters and I turn to face him, staring at him with wide eyes, “Nick, I thought we’re over this. I thought we have really passed this.” I grit out. No part of me is scared, Nick can’t hurt me, but the uncomfortable silence that falls in between us makes my stomach twitch.

“Nick!” I bellow and his shoulders jolt up as his body tenses, his muscles pulsing, his biceps hardening.

“I said let me out!” I pull on the door handle more, repeatedly, hoping he would pull over.

“I said no.” he slams the steering wheel, seething.

“What are you doing? I am not yours to kidnap anymore!” I bellow and a bright idea just sparks in my brain.

I mind link Nathaniel, but I can’t feel him…he’s blocking me out.

‘Nathaniel.’ I call out to him, focusing on his face to every last detail, but I feel nothing.

“It won’t help.” Nick murmurs under his breath, his eyes flicking to mine through the rear view mirror. “What?” I frown at him, “You can’t mindlink him Jess, I drugged you and it won’t work.”

I could feel myself heating up from the inside out as my b***d boils with anger.

“You did what?” I snarl, launching forward and I grab his throat , pulling back, but he snorts as his hand wraps around my wrist and he pulls my hand off him.

“That won’t work either.” he shoves my hand back and I glare at him, looking down at my feet to replace anything to help, but there is nothing.

No plastic, no papers, no metal, absolute nothing, rendering me hopeless.

“Once this car stops, I am so out of here.” I grit out, glancing at the back window…maybe if I just kick it out and jump I’ll be fine, I could run.

I sit still for five minutes and I notice how he starts to relax. His shoulders fall and his eyes are focused on the road, “Look, I gave you a choice, but you weren’t listening to me.” he starts to talk and I wish I could just cut him out, not listen to him, but I can’t.

“I can’t let you go back to that monster.” he says monster like it’s poison on his tongue, so disgusted, so hateful.

“He’s not a monster, you on the other hand are right now!” I bellow, crossing my arms as I glare at the back of his head.

“Don’t be ridiculous, I am saving you from that b***d sucking beast.” he seethes, the hatred in his tone so clear that it breaks my heart.

He was the alpha’s son when we were young, everyone wanted to be his friend…but the worst part was that everything he was taught, he took it straight to his head, believing it without doubt because he needed to. His parents are kind people travelling the world after we took over, but they were hard on him, telling him that everything we were taught was to protect ourselves and the pack and since he was the one that was going to lead the pack, he learned everything about every kind of species and pack that surrounded ours.

He will forever believe that vampires are heartless, soulless monsters that are an abomination and even I can’t change his mind.

“Nick, he is not a b***d-sucking beast.” I grit his own words out. I glance to my side, staring out at the passing cars, but no one seems to care enough to glance at our side and what could I actually do if I get someone’s attention?

It’s not like I could scream that I have been kidnapped because they won’t hear me.

The sun is starting to set and my eyes flick to the safety belt as we drive fast through the highway

“Can we stop? I need to pee.” I mutter, hoping that I don’t have to do what I want to.

“Forget it, it’s the oldest trick in the book. Do you think I’m stupid?” he glares at me through the mirror and I just roll my eyes at him, looking away. He glances back at the road and I slowly reach for the safety belt, slowly pulling it to it’s full length, the material pooling up on the seat beside me.

“Look, we’re almost there and then you’ll have a bathroom.” he mutters irritably.

“Where is there?” I ask confused. “The cabin.”

My eyes widen, that is at least five hours from home.

“This can not be happening.” I snort, shaking my head as I fist the safety belt in my grip.

I close my eyes as I focus all my prayers to the Moon Goddess…

Moon Goddess, please help me in this moment to make the right choice. I know that Nathaniel isn’t a monster, but Nick would never see what I see…I need you to bring this car safely to a halt so that I could drive back to my mate and be with him. I need your help.

I let out a shaky breath as I scoot forward, holding the safety belt in both of my hand, leaving a big space in between.

“You know what…” I lean more forward, breathing onto his neck. “You will pay for this one day.” I grit out and he snorts, as if not bothered at all. He can’t fathom that all of this is wrong, in a lot of ways.

“So what’s your plan? Keep me locked up for the rest of my life?” I whisper and his eyes flick to mine through the mirror, “No, just until you come to your f*g senses and think straight.” he snaps.

I hum, sitting back and his eyes focus on the road again.

Goddess please help me.

I quickly lift the seatbelt, throwing it over his head and I pull back as it swings around his neck, “What-” his words are cut off as I lean back with all my weight, pushing my foot against his chair and his air is cut off, making him choke on his words. I watch as he tries his best to pull at the material choking him, but he can’t grip it as his body goes into panic mode.

His eyes are wide and he lets go of the steering wheel, the car swerving to the side and all I can do it pull harder, hoping he’d pass out.

The car swerves all over the road, other cars hooting at us as we almost crash but the wind pushes the car into the opposite direction as he hits the breaks.

“Stop the car!” I yell in a demand, but the car only slows down as it swerves left to right.

I watch as his body goes limp and I let go of the material, leaning over the middle between the two front seats and I grab the steering wheel, trying to stay on the road as I take a hold of the handbrake, slowly starting to pull it up, the car starts to shake as it comes closer to the edge of the road and I shriek as the side of the car goes off, sliding over the grass as it comes to a steady halt.

I relax and climb into the front of the car, jiggling the handle that also won’t open so I open the window fully before I lift myself out of the car, tripping when I jump out.

I sigh and lean back in, unlocking the door and open it from the outside.

I stare at Nick’s unconscious body as his head leans to the side, looking dead, but I could hear his steady heartbeat.

I crawl into the car, pausing as I sit with my knees on the seat beside him, looking at his peaceful expression before I slowly reach for his door with my one hand while my eyes are fixed on his numb face.

My heart beats rapidly, my chest heaving as I unlock his door and I slowly pull my hand back, but I shriek when his hand wraps around my wrist, his other grabbing my throat as he pulls me closer, his dark forest orbs blazing with anger.

I try to pry his strong hands off me as I lean back, hoping to slide out of his grip.

He lets go of my wrist, grabbing my head and he shoves it down towards his legs, but I use my arms to stop him from busting my head against the steering wheel, my neck aching from how tight my muscles are while he tries to shove my head around.

I unlock his door
