REJECTED:The Alpha Behind The Mask

Alpha Eric's POV

''Stop this, father, I've had enough. I told you my mate would come when the time is right, and right now I love my girlfriend, and I am happy with her.'' I angrily stood to my feet and was about to leaving, but dad's voice stopped me.

“Stop right there young man, you may be a powerful alpha, but I'm still your father.'' Dad's voice echoed in the house.

Dad was a jovial fellow, but whenever he gets angry, I see a different person in him and I really wanted to avoid such a scene.

Tiredly, I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, and sat back on the couch while he stared at me with an irritated look before speaking up. 

“You have to find your mate, he or she is your second half, and you can't be a powerful Alpha without your mate.'' 

''I don't want a mate dad, I'm fine with Sophie, she has all I need in a woman.'' I blurted out with annoyance.

“Sophie is a gorgeous lady, no doubt, but she is not your mate, and that's a fact.'' dad spoke in an intense tone,

''And what if I don't have a mate?''The thought of that made me optimistic. At least I could be with Sophie.

“That's not possible. The moon goddess gives every wolf a mate, and I'm sure you have one. You just don't want to find him or her.''

Again, another lecture from dad about finding my mate. This has been a regular topic between dad and I for the past seven years.

He has been tormenting me about finding my mate, even when he knew I loved Sophie and was happy with her.

''Are you even listening?'' Dad's voice brought me back from my thoughts.

Grunting softly, I stood on my feet and put on my jacket.

“I have a conference in the next one hour.'' I lied so l could escape dad's blabbering and lecturing.

“When will you visit again? .''dad asked, 

“Whenever you want me to.'' I said those words and hurriedly left the mansion.

My driver spotted me walking towards the car and quickly opened the door for me to get in.

I might be a different person to my dad, but to others, I was seen as a cold-blooded alpha. I don't have many friends, and I was really okay with it.

I picked up my phone and dialed Sophie's line. It rang a few times before she picked up. 

''Hello dear.'' she spoke with a sweet, alluring voice which made my dick shift in anticipation.

“Where are you?'' I asked. 

“Home.''

“Wait right there. I'm on my way.''

''I will be waiting''. She replied, and I ended the call with a smile on my face.

“Take me to Sophie's apartment.''

“Yes sir.''

 We were close to Sophie's apartment when I noticed dad was calling, which made me wonder why he was calling.

Sighing heavily, I picked up the call and placed it on my ear.

“What now, Dad?''

The line was silent, but I could hear voices in the background.

“Hello, Dad.'' I called out again, but got no response from him.

“Dad.'' I grumbled. Still no response from him.

Grunting heavily, I was about to end the call when a voice spoke up.

“Hello, anyone there.'',

The moment I heard her voice, I froze instantly.

“Hello.'' she yelled repeatedly, 

“Yes, I'm here.'' I quickly snapped out of my thought.

“Listen, your father just had a heart attack right in a grocery shop, but not to worry, we're taking him to a nearby hospital. Can you come over?''
