Denied, not rejected

Chapter 7

Alak's POV

     This is wrong! This is a mistake! What the fuck am I letting him do this?! Oh fuck! It's just the fact that Kyle found this so-called mate of his and that Khaled will be completely left out! It angers me so fucking much!

       I follow Khaled, who's not in control of his body right now but his wolf, it's soft side. When I got out of the kitchen, I saw Kyle's face first, covered in sweats and fear as my gaze jumped from him to Khaled who's shaking right now.

      Alak! Damn you! I'm rushing things and I know that! But I don't want Khaled to be left alone. I want him to stay on the tract and run the race. I can't just let him accept that he doesn't have any chance of winning Kyle over. That idea won't register in my head.

      Khaled's whole body was shaking as he slowly take step forward while Kyle take steps away from him. Kyle look around and he found me, I gave him a gentle nod and I, myself didn't literally believe that he would stop moving away and stood steadily.

      "H-Hi," Khaled's voice is far different from his usual deep and raspy voice that's filled with authority, his voice right now was soft, gentle and smooth, reflecting the submission on the side of his wolf who's in control.

      Kyle didn't say anything but has his eyes focus on Khaled as if waiting for his next move. Kyle's was tense and his guard was up, a thing that I, myself already expected.

      "I-I made you a-a cake K-K-Kyle, w-welcome back," my heart is breaking. Kyle didn't say anything and there is no indicating that he's going to be calm for the next minutes. He was just standing there, fear ignited his eyes, face and body, making his whole body trembling in fear.

      Khaled continue to walk and stop when Kyle took a step back. It pains me but Khaled took that as a cue to stop and that he reaches the limit of the distance that he's allowed.

      "P-Please a-accept it. I-I promise I didn't put anything in it!" Khaled's voice was filled with happiness as he offered the cake.

     There is no indication that Kyle will accept it. He just stood there, not moving until I caught someone moving so fast and it was too late, the cake fell on the floor with the strong and loud slapping sound echoed in the pack house. We're lucky that there was no one in here, all went to a family hunting.

      "Don't you fucking get near him!" It was papa. My body jolted and immediately rushed towards Khaled. The slap was strong and unexpected, it caught him off guard making him fall on the floor. I immediately help him up.

      "Papa, Khaled is just offering a welcome-back gift!" I called him by the name he wanted me to call him. I've been their like-third son and they've been like my real parents.

      "What's the meaning of this, Alak?! Don't let that rapist come near my boy! Kyle, baby? Are you alright? Did he do something to you? Please tell me what happened?" The late alpha immediately took Kyle in a hug.

      Not too long a rushing footsteps can be heard. The late Luna, mama arrived...with a man near her. The man immediately look around until he found Kyle and he immediately drop the bags that his two hands are holding and immediately rushed up to him.

      "Baby? Are you alright?" I clenched my teeth in anger. So this is Kyle's so-called mate? Second mate he means! Khaled will always be the first.

      "I-I'm fine," Kyle stuttered, clearly not looking fine just by looking at the sweats that's continue to appear and roll down and by the look of his trembling body.

      "Who did this t–" his eyes landed on us, Khaled to be specific. They stared at each other pretty quite long and my eyes widen when Khaled murmured a word. A word that causes him pain.
