Rejected By Him Claimed By His Uncle (Rita and Leo)

ALPHA ATLAS'S POV

The short exchange between Elaina and Aunt Janice was really strange. Could it be that Janice thought Elaina was Athena.

I looked at Elaina. She actually reminded me of Athena a little, but if she was Athena, I would have known it was her through her smell.

Her smell was not of this pack to begin with and her hair was dark, so she could not be Athena.

I frowned.

Keeping a distance from her was the best thing. Imagine if we had become close and I one day called her Athena because she reminded me of her. She would have gotten hurt.

I looked around. Everyone was catching up and getting to know each other. Even Elaina that was mad at Emma for running here was engaging in the conversation and it was good to see.

They talked about the things that have been occuring in the pack. My mother was given the chance to brag about how she had burned Sebastian down.

And then they moved to Zara.

"Zara?" Uncle Darius looked surprised when they mentioned the name. "Zara is the name of my cousin," He said.

"Not only one person bears Zara," Janice pointed out and he shrugged.

"So, you mean to say that she just disappeared into thin air?" Aunt Janice asked and Elaina nodded.

"It happened recently, so a serious search has not begun yet, but I have to find her either by hook or by crook. She kidnapped Emma and she possibly tried to poison me. Who knows what she will do next if she is not found?"

"I agree," Conri said. "We have to find her. He was smiling sheepishly at her and I frowned because he was my friend and I knew that look very well.

Well, whatever he was thinking should remain in his head, because Elaina was mine.

I clenched my fists at the thought of losing Elaina, to someone else because I was avoiding having something with her. This was just hard for me.

I was lost in thoughts that I did not realize that they had changed the topic and were talking of something else now. They were talking about going to the movies tomorrow. Conri wanted to go, but his parents wanted to catch up with their friends "Elaina, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, would you mind going to the movies with me."

I clenched my jaw.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"My parents are catching up with their friends," He continued. "Alpha Atlas has lots of Alpha duties, because I am still on my leave and only came back here to see Uncle Darius and Aunt Rita." "That sounds nice," Elaina said, smiling.

I gritted my teeth. Why would she smile at an unmated male when she had me? I should be the only male she smiles at.

"It's a date then," Conri said and I could not take it anymore. I snapped.

My eyes turned black. I marched to him, held his neck and struck him across the face.

"Atlas," My father yelled angrily. He walked over to me and pulled me back. My wolf was slowly taking over, so it took a lot for my father to pull me. He eventually did it. He was an Alpha after all.

I was still fuming. I was not satisfied. I felt the need to snap Conn's head off his body.

"What is wrong with you?" Elaina snapped. "You're a great Alpha and I appreciate the things you've done for me and for people like me, but why do you keep on dulling your shining points by doing things like this. I'm sorry, but you're making my stay here unbearable as the day passes by."

My heart fell. Was I really that bad?

I decided to leave the scene to my room.

A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door and I ignored it without bothering to check who it was.

"Atlas." It was my mother's voice. I was still adamant and I remained on my bed without moving a muscle.

"Atlas, I would say this for the last time. Open the door."

Reluctantly, I walked over to the door and opened it up. She walked into my room and sat on my bed. I joined her. I could not look at her, so I looked down at the bed.

"They hate me now, don't they?"

"Who?"

"Aunt Janice, Uncle Darius and..." My voice trailed off, but I added her name later on. "Elaina. She hates me now. Even Emma. Emma might be scared of me now. And, Uncle Darius and his wife? First, I lost their daughter. Now, I hit their son. They must really think less of me now." "Nobody hates you, Darius," My mother said.

"Is that what you think? Didn't you hear what Elaina told me. She hates me."

"You know why she is angry with you. Stop pretending that this is it. I am equally angry with you. Make up your mind already. If you want her, try to get her. If you want to focus on finding Athena, don't hit another wolf when he tries to talk to her. The fact that you're willing to put your life on hold because you are still dwelling on the past does not mean that someone else will be willing to do the same. So, give the she-wolf a break."

I also want to tell apologize to Elaina, to your Beta, to his parents, to your dad and to me, because I am highly disappointed in you. And to Emma, because I am sure you have traumatized the little girl."

My mother left the room afterward and I began to think of what she said. I was definitely apologizing to everyone. I thought of what she said about me losing Elaina because I was holding on to the past too much.

I did not want to lose Elaina. I love her. I wanted to make her mine. I wanted her to give me pups.

I love her and I could not think of a life without her. I immediately got out of my bed and ran to the door.

Then I stopped. I took a few steps backward and then looked in the mirror. I had to look as presentable as possible, because I was telling Elaina my feelings.

I was telling her everything. How I was holding back because of a promise and how I was willing to sacrifice everything to be with her.
