The Rejected Alpha and His Human Mate

"Alpha!"

He snapped his head back to see his Beta waving a red piece of cloth at him behind thick fumes of smoke.

Fuck!

His eyes darted around in time to catch a snipper stationed at the far end of a building.

Double fuck!

He hissed, bending forward as he clutched his groin. This human the moon goddess had cursed him with might actually be the end of him.

Before he could say Jack, she already had the cold muzzle of her gun pinned to the side of his head.

[Their reinforcements have arrived and we are outnumbered. We need to get out of here quick!] His Beta's voice boomed in his head through the mind link but he kept his eyes trained on the human in front of him.

"This is for invading my space." She snarled before hitting his head with the butt of the gun, earning a slight groan from him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He countered as he straightened, forcing her to look up at him.

Barking out a wry laugh, she glared hard at him. "I would be begging on my knees if I were you."

He let out a dry chuckle before calmly looking into her eyes.

"Is that what you want, human?"

She held her gun tighter at the change in his voice, her fingers suddenly trembling at the trigger.

"Do you desperately want to see me begging on my knees?" He asked, walking closer to the muzzle of her gun.

Her throat bobbed and her neck burned red without her permission.

Why did she suddenly have a feeling that they were talking about two different things all together?

Extending his hand towards her, he tilted his head to the side. "Come with me and you'll be the only person I kneel to."

"Wh...what?" She spluttered at the rate her heart beat quickened.

Her palms suddenly grew sweaty.

What was all the nonsense she was feeling?

[Alpha! Duck!]

At that, he dived into her, rolling them to the side and under the protection of a rock as rain of bullets tore through the ground he was standing on seconds ago.

"What are..."

"Shhh!" He hissed, cupping her lips.

When he felt the familiar coldness of a muzzle pressed against his stomach, a wry smile tugged at his lips as his hand slid off her face.

"What? Even after saving your life, you aren't grateful?"

"You should be grateful you got a few extra minutes to breathe." She hissed in return, her heart pounding hard against her ribcage from being extra close to him even as the bullets continued to rain down around them.

"You still want to be loyal to the people who won't waste a breath in finishing you off to get me?" He had a brow raised as he asked.

She let her lip pull up in a semblance of a smirk, "as long as they get you."

A muscle feathered in his jaw as his green eyes turned cold.

Her eyes turned equally cold as they glared at themselves.

Without wasting a single breath, he grabbed her chin.

She pushed the muzzle deeper into his taut belly without hesitation, ignoring whatever tingles she felt and daring him to do anything out of the ordinary.

"You belong to me!" He pronounced, his eyes looking into hers one at a time.

She spat into his face, making him flinch from the impact before smiling.

"I'd rather get my throat slit than belong to the enemy of my people." She fired back at him, the hand holding the gun shaky from tension.

"Is that so?" He let off a smirk as he leaned in dangerously closer to her lips.

"You are already cornered by my comrades." She commented with a tinge of pride.

"Or not?" He tilted his head to the side, his smirk turning into a crazed smile on seeing the look of pride slowly die off her face.

"What do you m..."

He leaned in at that moment and sealed her lips shut with a kiss, his hand still holding her jaw as his lips moved against hers.

Ignoring the metallic tang of blood from him, she let out a moan, her body tightening even as she melted against him.

This shouldn't be happening!

She could feel her brain mushing up.

The sounds of bullets continued raining into the ground and already dead bodies blurred out of her view, leaving a loud ringing in her ears.

This shouldn't be happening!

Her closing eyes snapped open and she did the only thing her brain could think of at that moment.

She pulled the trigger right into his belly.
