Rejected By My Husband, Claimed By The Three Mafia Alphas

CHAPTER 7

　　Alexa's POV

"Good morning, Alphas." I force a smile, bowing in respect. The environment isn't conducive especially with this set of bosses I'm seeing, commanding and possessive but I really need this job, I wish to work for my celebrity idol, even if it's for free. This little girl here is a new mystery I've been saddled to uncover.

How can I leave now?

I now have a thousand and one reasons to stay and accept this job. Louise, first of all, my health and then Dustin, my celebrity crush whom I only wished to meet but never really thought of meeting.

"Who are you?" One of them emerges, coming closer than others. His eyes did scan me all round, I feel with his look he has already investigated about me and carried out all the necessary checks. He pulls his nose up, sniffing the air.

"Why am I feeling so tense?" He smirks, his tone being filled with a bit of mockery. In addition, he's stern and seems wicked. I gulp down saliva. I wanted to respond to him but I can't. My lips fumble but I don't say a word.

If looks could kill, I would probably die at this moment.

"Hey young woman," he continues. "Don't joke with me lest I arrest you. I'm a police officer and you have no right to lie before an officer of the law." I shiver as he walks even closer. My eyes are shaking in their sockets. I can't grab Louise as firmly as before.

"If you don't tell us the truth, I'll propose a new law at the Senate against you-" I turn to check out the one who's saying this. He doesn't show any difference from them. I want to know their names. I just want to memorize their names, I wish I could. I can't just address them all as Alpha since the particular one I'm referring to wouldn't get it, except I look too deep. I'm not ready to stare at them this way but yet, the next moment my eyes land with theirs, the gaze becomes even more overpowering.

"Baron, leave her to me. This isn't the senate." The officer snaps.

It's at this point my crush walks forward with a rock-hard face. "I'll handle her." He says to his brothers. My mind starts to form dirty thoughts being that one guy I'd always crushed on.

"Why is my wolf feeling so excited seeing you when I hate low class women like you?" He asks in a deep, cold voice filled with sarcasm. As I keep mute, not replying, he growls, making me quiver.

"Stop talking to mama like that." Louise protests.

"What?" I gasp, raising my eyes up, wishing the Alphas didn't just hear that but they did. My heart nearly stopped hearing this little girl say this to Dustin. I take a deep breath, falling my shoulders.

They all eye me suspiciously, not saying a word. The next moment they are whispering among themselves, except Dustin who's right here in front of me. My breath goes heavier as seconds pass. This moment of silence leaves me wondering what my next fate will be, will they reject me or accept me?

"Hmm," Dustin sighs. "Why do you look so similar like Louise?"

"No, there's something fishy somewhere. I wouldn't take you." He shakes his head, throwing off a consulting gaze with his brothers. There's a frightening air of silence. Suspense overshadows me as I stand here, being drifted between wanting to take the job for my health and refusing because of these cold, possessive seven Alphas whom my wolf says I'm mates with.

My hands snap off Louise, I stumble back as my legs shake.

"What's wrong?" She asks. I shake my head, waving my hand.

"Nothing!" I mutter.

"Why don't you want to take her? I like her dad." Louise protests.

"We can't take someone who has a similar face to you to avoid fan criticism. We are celebrities, you know that right? We don't want some scandal talks."

"You mean she's likely to be my mom?" Louise raises a voice of concern.

"If so, who cares! You must take her!" She lashes back at Dustin.

"No darling," I squat, grabbing her shoulders. "You don't talk to dad that way, whether I'm accepted or rejected, just that I really needed this job to save my life."

"What? What do you mean?" Louise comes closer, staring deep into my eyes with curiosity.

I sighed, reluctant to say this but there's this strong force that keeps pulling me to say it. I really like Louise so much that I feel I can't just hide anything from her.

"You like me, right mama?"

"Why do you keep calling me mama?" I ask.

"Because you look so much like me."

I blush, brushing her face with my fingers. My eyes get teary at the moment.
