Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 38

An elderly couple is sitting down looking at four guards walking and talking around the room. The woman is reading a book and the man is reading the newspaper. One of the men walks over to them. Your son said that your flight leaves next Wednesday at noon. Make sure that you have everything that you want or need, you're not coming back here. You'll be living at this apartment in the city."

Nesib and Malanie glance at each other and mumble "okay" He motions for Malanie to go into the bedroom.

She nods her head. "Dear, I'm feeling a little tired. I think I'll take a nap. Do you care to join me?"

"Yes, sweetheart I believe I will. There's nothing but bad news in the paper." Nesib stands up to walk behind her.

"Stop right there" Gerald yells walking over to the couple. "Give me your phones"

"Young man our phones are over there on the desk" Malanie points at the desk.

Gerald looks over at the desk and sees the phone. "Good, we can't have you two making any calls for help." He chuckles

Malanie and Nesib sit on the bed with his arms around her. He kisses her head. "Damn it I hated speaking to Cooper in that tone. Especially lying to him. s**t, that damn Gerald made me put the call on speaker. I hope that he knows me well enough to figure out that something is wrong."

She pats his hand. "at least I was able to talk to Ciara alone for a few minutes. I was able to tell her some of what is going on. I pray that she was able to read between the lines."

"Who would have thought that our own sons were imprisoned us and take all of our money and house? I never saw any of this coming. Maybe when we return to Florida one of those bastards will let their guards down and we escape or send word to the palace or Cooper." He hugs her tighter. "We'll be free soon."

Jackie and Macklin are on their way home. Macklin has been ranting on about Shane being the King. Also, what are Winter and Shane going to do with the information that Josey is still alive?

Jackie is looking out the window remembering what Winter said about her and Macklin's wolves. Neither wolf has shifted since the data Macklin marked her. That is another reason why they are living in seclusion and hiding from Manny. Mayta hasn't spoken to Jackie since the day she found out she was pregnant again. Jackie turns to look at Macklin. "Winter knows that we planned on killing Shane. She said that if we harm him in any way that she would kill us."

"s**t, that's just great. I knew that it was a bad idea for us to take our asses there. Now we have the f*****g queen on our asses." Macklin yells and hits the steering wheel.

Jackie jumps "as long as we don't go near him, we'll be fine."

Macklin speeds off the road and stops. "Do you still have feelings for that arrogant bastard?"

"No not at all" She's shaking her head. "If I loved him, I never would have come up with the plan to kill him and take over his pack."

"That's damn good for you. If you did, I'll kill your a*s before I let you go. Just remember all of this was all your doing. Your a*s called me." Macklin speeds off.

Jackie turns to look at her sleeping kids then she looks out the window again thinking. "I know but I have to admit Shane was the best lover that I have ever had. Damn, I miss him sometimes" Her phone beeps and brings her out of thought. She looks at the number but it shows unknown.

"Text"

Stay away from the Queen and King if you and that family want to live

"End of text"

She deletes the text quickly and throws the phone into her purse. Jackie decides that she won't tell Macklin about it. It will only be one more than for him to fuss about.

Macklin is cussing and plotting a way to kill Shane without anyone finding out that it's by his hands. he cuts his eyes at Jackie. He knows deep down that she has feelings for Shane but her greed got the best of her.

Winter and Autumn are walking in the gardens Winter wanted to explain to her sister about her pregnancy. Because Nicholas will be around there a lot more. She also wants Autumn to start attending the meeting that she will be having.

Autumn overheard their parents talking about the incident with Cooper. So, she already knew Winter's situation. She is also upset with Cooper regarding the way he spoke to her sister. She picks a few daisies. "I take it that he doesn't know that you could have killed or had him killed for speaking to you like that?"

Winter sits down on a bench. "As much as I wanted to kill him. I understand how he felt. Besides I couldn't kill Cooper. He's McDreamy's father. That would cause my love pain and I wouldn't do anything to hurt him."

"Well, if he speaks to you like that again I'll deal with him. So, your McDreamy won't be mad at you." Autumn sits down beside her and gives her the flowers. "What about Laffy Taffy?"

"That is one dead-a's piece, Taffy. I was trying to hold off until her and Nick's bond was gone. But the more I know that her presence is close to me Rieka and I want to rip her into pieces. Let's change the subject. Aurora will arrive soon. She has already set an appointment with me. I want you here also to be attending the meetings. Hopefully, the mess with Kristoff will be over with. Also, it would be good for you to get with Haper and Parker for more extensive training. I would do it myself. But I have been ordered by Shane, Nick, and the doctor not to shift." Winter is looking at Shane, Gage, and Dimitri walking into the palace.

Autumn jumps up, looking at her. "So I'm your wing-woman"

Winter laughs "Well, I didn't think of it like that. But I guess so" She's looking at her sister clapping her hands ."Don't make me regret this."

"I'm not you just keep my nieces safe" Autumn kisses Winter's much-swollen belly.

In the palace as soon as Shane's office door closes, he tells Dimitri and Gage about Jackie. How she had betrayed and planned to kill him. But he was more upset about her betraying and coming after his pack.

Dimitri is opening the door. "Let's kill that damn traitor and her rogue mate."

"No, we can't do that. As much as I love your idea. Star Eyes and I gave them our words that we would only kill them if they join his family to come after us or does something wrong." Shane sits down motioning for Dimitri to close the door.

"You know Patrice always said that there was something off about that Jackie that she didn't like. She was always asking questions about you and Winter. Finally, one day Patrice told her to ask you why she didn't live there when Winter came to visit. That's when Jackie backed away from her and Yolanda. Hell, I still can't believe her a*s is alive." Gage is looking at a furious Dimitri sitting down beside him

"I still think that we should kill their asses. Just because of the foul s**t they tried to do. We can't let them get away with trying to kill the Alpha. Nope, No f*****g way." Dimitri is looking at the door opening

Parker and Harper walk into the office. "We want that b***h dead." They yell in unison with their folds their arms looking at Shane. "We all do" Shane, Gage, and Dimitri yell.

Shane rubs his chin. "Star Eyes and I made a promise. But we didn't say that we wouldn't keep an eye on them. Dimitri you and Parker handle that. Gage you and Harper work on finding out where Manuel Stonewall is. I'm taking Ace and Bronson with me tomorrow when Nicholas and I travel to Delray. Patrice and Yolanda will stay with Star Eyes."

"Winter isn't going to like that" Parker shook her head.

"What is it that I'm not going to like" Winter walks into the office looking around at everyone.

Everyone turns to look at Shane.

"Oh" Shane is looking at them then he looks at Winter and holds his arms out. He waits until she's sitting on his lap. "You staying at the palace tomorrow. Harper and Gage will be here. So will Patrice and Yolanda."

Winter hears him out. "Oh okay. I can start decorating the nursey."

Now everyone including Shane is looking at her wondering "why did she give in so easy,"

*****

The next morning Nicholas is looking over some papers while waiting on Blake. Irving is standing back looking at Nicholas grinning and thinking about his grandchild and how he will help the pup rule. Irving walks over to Nicholas. "Do you need any help?" Nicholas frowned looking at him "If I did. You would be the last person I would ask. I want to come back alive. I don't need to be looking over my back for the knife that you will stab me with."

Sabrina walks beside Irving." What are you up to? You have never offered to help anyone not even me or Nick if it wasn't something in it for you."

Nicholas is looking at Irving waiting for an answer.

"I'm trying to fix a wrong. Nothing else." Irving is trying to put a pitiful look on his face.

Nicholas chuckles. "Yeah right. Irving old man you really need to work on your acting."

Blake walks past them. He cut his eyes at Irving thinking. "Nobody is falling for that bullshit.

Nicholas's phone rings. He answers it as he's walking toward Blake. Irving heard Shane's name. He tried to hear the rest of the conversation but Nicholas and Blake walks out of the house. "You're up to something. I can't put my finger on it yet But I will. If you do anything to hurt my son. I'll kill you my damn self" Sabrina points at him.

Irving looks at her "Dear, you wouldn't really kill me. Would you? You do realize the consequences that you would endure if you killed me? I am your mate."

"Oh yeah, I know who you are. I would surely give my life if that is the only way Nicholas can be happy and free from your shit." Sabrina looks at him up and down as she's walking away. Irving is looking at her in disbelief.

On the way to meet Shane, Nicholas is telling Blake about Winter's morning sickness. He knows that Irving is planning something.

Blake was about to ask him about his relationship with Winter when they see Shane standing outside a black Lamborghini Urs and two black Lincoln Navigators parked beside the car.

Shane is on the phone with Winter when Nicholas walks over to him. Star Eyes has something to tell us." Shane put his phone on speaker.

"Phone conversation"

Winter: Play together and be nice to each other.

Nicholas: We will. But we want you to relax.

Shane: I promise you that Nick and I will play nicely.

Winter: I will relax. Also, watch each other's backs

Shane and Nicholas: We will

Winter: Okay, that's all I have to say.

Shane takes the phone off of speaker and walks turning his back from Nicholas. "Stay in bed. I'll be home soon. I love you" he smiles when she tells him that she loves him. Shane hangs the phone up and motions for Nicholas to ride with him. Nicholas takes a deep breath and walks over to the passage side of the car thinking, "I have to get used to it"

All the men are looking at Shane and Nicholas getting in the car. Gage walks over to Blake and rides with him. Both men are wondering if that's a good idea for the two Alphas to be alone.

Nicholas thanks Shane for calling him last night to let him know that Winter was feeling better and is eating. Now they are discussing names for their girls. After an hour they burst out laughing because they couldn't agree and also realize that Winter has to love the

names.

Blake and Gage are driving in the SUV in front of Shane and Nicholas. They are looking around the woods while driving slowly down a long driveway.

"Look like Taffy lied. It looks deserted." Gage is looking at an open front door.

"Yep, her a*s doesn't know the truth if it smacks her upside the head." Blake parks but it's still looking around.

Nicholas and Shane are walking side by side toward the house.

"Man, I hate to be barren of bad news. But I'm giving you a head up. Tonight I'm going to cause that b***h so much pain. The other day doesn't compare to what's in store for her." Shane narrows his eyes looking at a pitcher of ice water. Nicholas is also looking at the pitcher. "So that was you, hell I thought it was a rogue that had got hold of her a*s. Someone was here. We must have just missed them" He starts sniffing. Nicholas looks at Shane. He is sniffing too.

About that time two tan and white wolves are running out of a room and charging at them. Shane and Nicholas are shifting as they run toward the wolves. One of the wolves leaps at Nicholas just as Wilder completes shifting. Wilder catches the wolf by his head and slings him into a wall. Wilder runs over to the wolf. The wolf stands up, he's growling and slavering while he's looking at Wilder. Wilder lets out a loud growl and jumps on the wolf. He bites down on the wolf and swings his sharp claws. The wolf howls for a few minutes. Wilder doesn't stop biting and slicing the wolf up until the wolf is in pieces.

The other tan wolf tries to stop charging at Optimus when he shifted but he slides into him. Optimus Swings his claw at the wolf, sending him flying into a different room. He runs into the run where the tan wolf is standing up and breathing hard. He looks at a

window. But Optimus growls and shakes his head at the wolf. The wolf growl and run at Optimus, but Optimus doesn't move. The wolf rams Optimus and falls to the floor. Optimus is standing over the wolf as the wolf tries to bite his leg. Optimus bite the top of the wolf's head The wolf howls as Optimus rips his head off.
