The Rejected Alpha (Book 1 of the Rejected Series)

Chapter 67

Finally, I cleared my throat and shifted on my feet, and Levi looked at me with a raised eyebrow in question. "Now, why the hell are you here again?" I asked and cocked my head, studying him.

Levi blinked and blinked again before he cleared his throat and shifted on his feet. "Do you have to be in a bra and shorts?" he asked and raised an eyebrow in question, not answering my question.

I rolled my eyes and scowled, pressing my lips into a thin line. "Uh, because this is my normal attire when I sleep?" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question higher. "And because you are in my room?"

Levi set his jaw and narrowed his eyes. "Hmph," he said. "Can I enter?" he asked, changing the subject before he looked at the gun. "Or are you going to shoot me?" He looked at the gun still in my hands before he looked at me again, slowly blinking.

I bit back a small smirk and shrugged. "Not yet, Alpha," I replied with a small hum in my voice. "You haven't pissed me off that much." I paused, and my smirk grew tighter while I dipped my head closer to my chest. "Yet."

Levi held back an eye roll and pressed his lips into a thin line. "Well, can I enter?" he asked and raised an eyebrow in question. "And can you put on new clothes, please? You're distracting."

I scoffed a laugh and rolled my eyes while I pressed my lips into a thin line, feeling a little self-conscious about my appearance. "Very funny, Alpha," I said coldly and turned away from him before I gestured for him to follow me. "Go ahead and come in that way you leave sooner and get away from my ugly self."

Levi growled and grabbed my wrist before I got too far away from him. He slammed me against a wall with a soft thud, and a small "oomph" escaped my tight lips while I stared at him with wide eyes.

Shit...

My heart skipped a beat before it started to pound faster in my chest while I stared at him, grabbing the gun tighter.

Levi leaned closer to me, and his breath fanned across my lips, but he didn't kiss me like I thought he would. "Never ever call yourself ugly, Alexandra," he said, his voice barely above a whisper, his whole body shaking from fear or lust, I couldn't tell which. He narrowed his eyes and scowled. "Is that understood?"

I set my jaw and nodded, my heart pounding harder in my chest. I didn't say a word while I stared at him, not knowing what was going on, and why he kept me pushed up against the wall when he finished what he had to say.

Levi placed his face into the crook between my head and neck and took in my scent, and the hair on the back of my neck stood at attention. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, and my heart skipped a beat before it pounded harder and faster in my chest. "What are you doing to me, Alexandra?" he asked, his voice turning to husky with a deep voice. "To us?"

I bit back a small snort and moved my head a little to the side so that he would have more room to place his head there. I didn't say a word and closed my eyes, letting myself enjoy this moment when I knew that it couldn't last.

"What are you doing to me?" he muttered again, his voice barely above a whisper, and he slowly started to put his lips on the crook of my neck where he would mark me, and my heart skipped another beat before it started to pound faster and harder in my chest.

Oh, shit, shit, shit...

I set my jaw, my heart breaking a little because I knew that I was going to have to end this, no matter how much I didn't want to.

I wanted him to mark me even when he was still controlled...

Biting back a small sad sigh, I shoved him away from me so hard that he stumbled backward, not expecting me to do that.
