REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

After a few minutes of driving, he stopped in front of a massive building. I could hear voices and soft music playing and to worsen it all there were cameras, not just cameras, but cameras from radio stations and television channels.

With stunned eyes, I turned and stared at Kelvin, who smiled back at me. “You told me we were coming to a friend’s birthday party.” I muttered out, still staring outside the window, luckily the glass was tinted.

“Yes, he is a childhood friend of mine.” He stated firmly.

With stunned eyes, I looked around and nervously bite my lips. I wasn’t expecting something this big.

“Are you okay?” He asked when he noticed me biting my lips.

I stared at him but did not say a word,

“I’m so sorry I should have told you he was a prince, I’ll take you back home.” He said with guilt in his face.

“No, it’s fine, let’s go.” I gave him an assuring smile. “Are you sure?” He asked, “Yeah, let’s go.” I assured him.

He gave me a grateful smile, got out of the car and walked to my door. Smiling widely at me, he opened the door for me and I went out of the car. The moment I got out of the car, I noticed cameras on us and I became scared and nervous.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” He smiled at me, interlocked our hands together and led me inside the hall while cameras were following us around until we got into the hall, and they all left waiting for the next guest to arrive.

I took in a deep breath and relaxed myself when I noticed there were no more cameras following us.

“Are you okay?” He asked with concern.

“Yeah.” I smiled back at him, stared around the hall and noticed the caliber of people in the party were no ordinary people. With their clothes, you need not be told how rich these people were, and I was thankful to Kelvin for getting me this dress. If not, I would have looked really outcast to everyone here.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Come with me.” He smiled at me, took my hand in his, and walked me further into the hall.

“Kelvin, you are finally here.” I heard a female voice behind us.

We both turned around, and I saw a lady in her early thirties smiling at us, “You came ?”. Kelvin asked with a soft groan.

“Of course, you know I love things like this.” She chuckled softly and smiled at me. “Is she the one?” She asked while staring at me with a big grin on her face. “No, she is just a good friend.” Kelvin responded.

She smiled at Kelvin and took a step closer to me. I saw her close her eyes and inhale deeply. “She has a fascinating scent.” she muttered those words while smiling at me,

“What’s her name?”’she asked with her eyes still on me.

Kelvin did not give an answer, but rather he stared at her, and she did the same to him. They both held each other’s gaze for a while, and none of them said a word until I gently tapped Kelvin on the shoulder.

He moved his gaze to me and gave me a quick smile, “I’ll be leaving.” She announced and stared at me with a different look that I couldn’t explain before walking away.

“What was that?” I asked, confused. “Don’t worry about that, my sister is always like that.” He said while staring around.

“Your sister?” I asked, shocked. “Yeah, my elder sister.” He flashed me a weak smile and kept staring around like he was searching for someone.

“Is everything okay?” I asked, concerned.

“Yes.” He nodded his head at me and led me to a table. ”Have a Sit”, he drew out a chair for me and I sat on it while he sat opposite me. He smiled at me and kept staring around, and I knew something was wrong.

“Tell me what’s wrong.” I asked, almost like a plead because I was becoming uncomfortable.

“My mate.” He whispered and gulped, “He is here.” He announced, still staring around until his gaze fell on someone.

I turned around and saw a young man in his early thirties putting on a navy-blue suit with blonde-colored hair staring at both of us, most especially me.

Standing behind him was a girl I assumed was his girlfriend. “Is he the one?” I asked,

Kelvin nodded his head and looked away.

I stared at him and noticed he was hurt for seeing his mate with a girl. “Are you alright?” I asked while staring at him.

He took in a deep breath and smiled at me, “Of course, I’m okay.” He lied with a fake smile on his face. Hurriedly, he took drinks from the server man and gave one to me.

I stared around the room and saw a big cake at the middle of the hall and spotted a fine young man talking to people, without being told I knew he was the celebrant because he was dressed like a prince.

“Come, let’s go say hello to my friend.” Kelvin stood up from his seat and took my hand, “Don’t be scared, he is a very friendly fellow.” He assured me with those words and led the way.

I slowly followed him until we got to where the prince was exchanging greetings with guests. He noticed us and flashed us a big smile.

“Happy birthday bro…” He did not let those words end in Kelvin’s mouth when he pulled him to himself and gave him a tight hug. “I never knew you would come.” He smiled and let go of Kelvin, who also smiled back at him. “You know I wouldn’t miss this for anything in the world.” Kelvin muttered out while smiling at the celebrant.

“Beautiful.” The prince muttered out while moving closer to me. The more he came closer to me, the more I noticed the color of his eyes was changing.

Nervously I moved a bit from him, which he noticed and gave me a quick smile. “Sorry about that.” He muttered those words with a smile on his face and moved closer to me. “Beautiful.” he whispered and slowly brought forth his hand to my hair and tucked my hair behind my ear.

“Beautiful.” He whispered out again.

I smiled shyly at him and was about to look away when I made eyes with Eric.

He was standing a few footsteps away from me with his two hands in his pockets and a furious look on his face, but the thing that scared me the most was the color of his eyes. They were darker and full of anger.

“Shit.” I murmured to myself.
