Reject Me Again, My Alpha
Chapter 49

Walking in our room, I saw loads of books scattered across the bed. I felt his emotions every single one and I knew he was there. Sipping a small amount of Shira’s b***d had electrified everything inside of me. I had never felt so alive and that was just a small bit of it. But I couldn’t turn and look when I felt him behind us , when I had hugged Rion. Or come running when he had decided to run off. I had to remain like I always have , and that was with my abilities as a wolf a lot dimmer than everyone else. Picking up some paper , I saw some scribble on it. His handwriting, he had been taking notes on things he had found. Immense guilt swamped me. The fact I couldn’t tell him what I knew didn’t sit well with me , but Sianna did all of this for a reason. Her being back was the fates saying now was the time to act. So something must have changed.

After I had taken back some of our magic, Sianna had finally spoken to me. ” Something on the island changed me Anthea , whatever happened it happened here. I was looking everywhere else but under my own nose. ” So who better to start with than her own mate , the new alpha of the people here. I didn’t think he was involved , but surely he had to notice things that were off. It was like playing a game of who did it , a murder mystery game.

Wasn’t I being just as bad as what they accused Sianna of being , not trusting in her people ? But if I trusted in the wrong person , the person that may know what’s going off or who was involved. Then that could be worse. No one had said it yet , but it was what I had concluded. Someone here knew something. If Sianna believes it is on this island , then it had to be a person here, right ?

Going to the window, I opened it up and looked out. The night air brushed across my face. I felt all this energy inside of me that I had never felt before. Shira said I would now be able to use magic , but smaller spells. Use her strength , but not as strong as I will be once I have consumed it all. What I had not accounted for was taking in more of Sianna, more of a connection to her. Made my connection to Rion feel stronger. Seeing him earlier, that low hum from before became more of a vibration. Still not as strong as my connection to Enzo , but still. It made things more complicated.

I had wanted to talk to him earlier, about the other members here. But without seeming too over eager. I asked him if we could have lunch together tomorrow. And then I had sat and eaten with the people who had turned up to the fire pit. But I know Enzo saw me hug him. It was the attraction partly anyway . When his arms were wrapped around me, I felt all fuzzy. But it had just been me hugging him as gratitude , he had told me he had news from back home that my other brother wanted to come and his new mate. To give me back up, he had arranged all of the transport. Samueal and Lorna were coming here too. Apparently, Rion had left the alpha with a way to communicate with us back home. I don’t know how I hadn’t asked. Maybe Enzo knew.

Closing my eyes , I bit my l*p and felt for our connection. Instead of just feeling his emotions like before. It was weird, it was like I could feel him. Concentrating more, I willed myself to see him. I wasn’t sure if it would work. I didn’t even know if this was an ability I had. But everyone kept saying to me that Sianna was all powerful , descended from the wolf of the gods. So surely , maybe I could do it. It came over me all at once , I felt like I was running , pounding the floor. It felt like I had sand beneath my paws. Then I opened my eyes and looked in the direction I knew he was in. Like a tracker, I just knew. ” Come to me ” I whispered. In the silence of the night , a loud wolf howl pierced the night sky.

I grinned as I felt his wolf in my mind change courses and the sand turned to soil under its feet. It was mere minutes before the big wolf burst through the trees into the back yard of the house. The big beats of an animal looked up at me, its yellow eyes piercing against its dark fur. The wolf tilts its head. I smiled down at the creature and backed away from the window. Taking a deep breath, I turned around and pulled the tshirt I had on off , and then bent and slipped the trousers and my panties off. Then I unclipped my bra, dropped it on the floor and waited.

The door burst open, Enzo stood there looking like a mixed bag of emotions. Anger , jealousy and the one I wanted most. Turned on , his nostrils flared , his jaw gritted tight. His eyes scanned me from my toes all the way up my body and his lips curled up in a sexy sneer. Like the sight of me naked pained him. ” What the f**k was that ? ” he seethed out. ” What was what ? ” I played dumb. ” It was like you beaconed me here like I was a dog , like I had no choice but to come to you like you were my master “. He didn’t sound amused , not one bit. I bit my l*p thinking maybe I had just f****d up somehow. ” I don’t know what your talking about , I was just thinking about you. And how much I have missed you today. And how much I want you right now “. It wasn’t a lie. I have missed him and I do want him.

My answer didn’t seem to please him though. He stepped into the room and slammed the door shut behind him. He came forward and his hand shot up to my neck and pulled me forward so our foreheads were touched. ” I was the only one here all day giving a crap about this. It’s like as soon as we step foot on this island everyone has forgotten what we have come here for. To get your magic and get the f**k home “. I furrowed my brows as I looked up at him. ” Enzo, this place is beautiful. People just want to take it in a little , we can not blame them for that. “

His eyes bore into mine and he huffs and lets me go, turning his back to me. ” I don’t like it when I am not near you to protect you, my wolf hates it. Even if you get your magic, I won’t be a p***y like Rion was and stay here while you go fighting wars. His mate got killed and where was he ? He was here. That is not how mates should be. Mates should be there. f**k if you’re miles stronger than me. f**k if you tell me to stay put , I will not be an obedient dog. Do you hear me? Today you took off and left me here like I was him. No word of where you were going or if you were OK. You didn’t even come and tell me you were back. This isn’t me being a controlling prick Anthea , this is me being what a mate should be. I will not be made to feel weak. I would rather you choose him and rip my heart out before I let you do that. “

Closing my eyes , I bit my l*p and felt for our connection. Instead of just feeling his emotions like before. It was weird, it was like I could feel him. Concentrating more, I willed myself to see him. I wasn’t sure if it would work. I didn’t even know if this was an ability I had. But everyone kept saying to me that Sianna was all powerful , descended from the wolf of the gods. So surely , maybe I could do it. It came over me all at once , I felt like I was running , pounding the floor. It felt like I had sand beneath my paws. Then I opened my eyes and looked in the direction I knew he was in. Like a tracker, I just knew. ” Come to me ” I whispered. In the silence of the night , a loud wolf howl pierced the night sky.

I huffed a laugh , he turned to look at me and I couldn’t believe his cheek. ” What, like when you did me !” he flinched back like I slapped him. ” When you wouldn’t mate me or when you rejected me because I was weak, remember. This goes two ways, Enzo. I was out with Shira , she was filling me in on things. I was not out fighting no f*****g wars. I will treat you as my equal always. If you can not do the same, then reject me again , my f*****g Alpha. ” I go to barge passed him but his arm shoots out and grabs my arm.

I looked up at him , both of us standing side by side . And he turns his head to the side and looks down at me. We just stand starting at eachother for the longest time. I know he’s processing. Then after some time, he said ” Something is different. I sense it , my wolf senses it, something happened today.That was not our bond. I had no control over my wolf. I didn’t want to come back here just yet. I was still too angry, I needed to calm down , so this didn’t happen. What was it ? “

I drew in a breath. Shira had warned me not to use the little magic I had back around others. And here I was using it , and for selfish reasons. Just like Sianna had started to do. There was no emergency , I didn’t pull him back here for anything other than selfish reasons. Day one and I was already failing. I shook my head. “Nothing has changed, ” I whispered. I wasn’t allowed to say. I wanted to but I wasn’t allowed.

He drops my arm. ” Liar , I feel your emotions remember. I know I am a hypocrite , I know what I just said was wrong. Because I know I did it to you. But I was never not honest with you. I’m an Alpha , a possessive jealous a*****e , but my main instinct is to protect. How am I meant to protect you if I do not know the whole story? I will never reject you again, Anthea. Only you can make that choice now.” He walks off to bed and starts removing the books. ” I promise to never make you feel weak again Anthea. I thought I had made that clear when I told the whole pack about us. And followed you here. It will never work if we both keep making the same mistakes.” he slips into bed and turns his back on me.

I could crawl into bed with him. But I couldn’t. I left the room and went to Shira’s. I needed Enzo by my side and he was right , half truths and lies would only kill the little bond we did have.
