Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 45

Pilar and Ariel are keeping Winter company while Shane is meeting with their rogue guests. Nicholas and Blake went back to Nick's pack. He wants to be there when Irving is interrogating the two men. Neither he nor Shane trusts Irving.

Before Nicholas left, he and Shane had a private meeting about Irving. They want to know how did Irving find out about their daughters. If it's one of his tricks Nicholas has sworn that he'll kill Irving to protect their family. Shane tells him about the information that Ophelia gave him and Winter. As soon as Winter is up to it the three of them will go looking for the Stonewalls. Both of them knew that she wouldn't like being left out.

When Nicholas arrives, he is met by his mother. She tells him that Irving is in the yard training and she hasn't said a word about the twins' birth. Sabrina also tells him everything that Irving told her and their visit to Morlock's pack.

Hayden walks into the office and hands Nick his sister's second phone that Kim and the other women found when they were searching through Shonda's belongings. He had forced her to unlock it and he took the password out of the phone. Hayden hands Nicholas the phone. "You're not going to like any of this shit." He sits down waiting for Nick to go off.

Nicholas starts reading text messages out loud. he wanted his mother to hear. "Shonda sent Peyton and Gordon information about the members of the pack. Whenever I'm going out. Damn, she even knew about Taffy's plan to kidnap Winter from the apartment." He sits up and frowns as he's reading the next text. "She, Taffy, and Penelope were planning to let some nasty a*s rouge have their way with my Cuddle Bug. Those assholes had planned to disfigure her face by pouring acid on it before they killed her. Dumb a*s b***h didn't have sense enough to erase any of the messages." He hits his desk and storms out of his office. "Hayden you and Blake don't want to see this. Mother go find Blake he's going to need you because I'm about to kill his rejected mate. She has been conspiring against us for years."

"Oh, s**t" Hayden and Sabrina yell and run down the hall searching for Blake.

Nicholas walks into the dungeon Shonda is on the cot sleeping. Wilder surfaces and takes control, yelling in Nick's head. "This b***h is mine. No one hurts our Cuddle Bugs" Nicholas doesn't try to fight him as he shifts. Wilder and growls while he's ripping the bars off with his teeth.

Shonda looks at the large wolf coming at her she shakes her head thinking that she's dreaming. She looks again and sees the wolf with his mouth open. "Wilder" she screams and shifts into an average size brown and grey wolf. Now Wilder has her cornered. He growls and swings his large claw at her. Blood starts dripping from her neck to the floor. Shoda's wolf howls and jumps at him with her mouth open. He rams her with his head, knocking her to the floor on her back. Wilder jumps on top of her and clamps down on her neck chewing at it until his mouth is full. He spits the pieces of flesh on the floor. Looks at her as she takes her last breath.

In the den, Sabrina is wrapped around Blake while he's screaming due to the pain. Blake is trying to get out of her hold. Hayden has to hold him down until the pain eases. Irving and Kim run into the room trying to figure out what happened. Kim looks at Irving. "Shonda. Alpha must be killing her"

Irving nods his head." Good, I overheard Jimmy and Chuck mentioning her damn name I was just waiting for Nicholas to come back so we can deal with those bastards thinking they can take my grandchild"

Everyone but Blake looks at him. Hayden is surprised that he knew about Winter being pregnant or that she had the pup.

Kim doesn't know anything about a grandchild. She looks at Hayden "Taffy is pregnant by the Alpha. Oh, my this isn't good at all. We're so f****d."

Hayden shook and head "Winter," he tells her through their link

"O" she mouths looking at him with her eyes bulging.

Blake has stopped screaming, but he's breathing hard and rubbing his neck. "Damn Nick man you could have prepared a brother. f**k that s**t hurt like hell" He's looking at Nicholas walking into the room.

"Sorry man Wilder took over. I couldn't control him." Nicholas pats Blake's shoulder "Are you okay?" Nicholas is on the phone calling Shane to check on Winter, the twins, and to tell him about the text messages.

"I'll live. Damn Wilder was mad as hell. But thank you for freeing me from that cunning a*s woman. I knew her hanging around with Loose Legs wasn't going to turn out good for her." Blake looks at Hayden. "I'm sorry man but your sister was a mess"

"I know man, at least everyone here is safe." Hayden kisses Kim's forehead. She has wrapped herself around him.

Nicholas hangs the phone up, he smiles and looks at a picture of the twins.

Irving is still wondering where he, Blake, and Sabrina was last night. The only reason he know that she had left was that he had gotten up and gone to her room looking for her. Her bed hadn't been slept in. He waited for the cheating to begin but it never did. He thought about asking her but isn't want to get on a thin line with her right now since she has started having conversations with him again.

Nicholas is walking out the door and heading to the chamber. Sabrina and Irving are walking behind him. Larry and Chuck are in separate cells across from each other. Nicholas walks between the cells, looking back and forth at the two men. "I'm only going to ask one question. Who hired you two to go after the Queen's pups?"

Neither man answers him. They look at each other and sit down on the floor.

"I gave you bastards a chance." Nicholas nods his head. His parents are looking at him.

Four warriors walk into the chambers. Two men walk into the cell with Chuck and the other two in the cell with Larry. They grab the men by their arms and drag them out of the cell.

"They will talk before long." Nicholas is standing beside his mother. Irving is behind her.

Jimmy and Chuck are hanging up by their feet. Nicholas walks over to the two men and covers their heads with a black leather cover with gold spikes. "It's time to play ball." He folds his arms and motions for the warriors to hit the head cover with some bats. The two men are screaming louder and louder from the spikes digging into their faces.

"Dollar Bill" Chuck screams while Jimmy screams the name, Gus Horsley"

Sabrina kicks both men in the head. "One of you has to be lying." She kicks them again in their heads

"No, we're not" Chuck screams

"Gus and Dollar are cousins. They use to be members of the Royal pack years ago." Irving steps closer to Nick

"So this has to do with Winter's family." But how is it you know these men?" Nick looks at Irving with a stern look.

Irving drops his head. "As I have said before I have done some things that I'm not proud of. Yes, I have communicated with some unlikely people. But when it comes to protecting your pup. I draw the line." He looks into Nick's eyes. "Son, you can still hate me just let me help keep your pup safe. I promise you I won't let you, your mother, or my grand pup down."

"If you double-cross us. I'll kill you that is if Shane doesn't beat me to it. Grandaugthers. Beautiful little girls" Nicholas is walking toward the door. "Kill the bastards."

"Girls," Irving looks at Sabrina with a huge grin.

"Yes. Just so you know the killing you part goes for me too" Sabrina points at him.

Shane, Ace, Gage, Harper, and Parker are in Shane's office. Waiting for Bronson and Dimitri to bring Jackie, Josey, Malcolm, and Macklin. Shane is showing them pictures of the twins, Winter, him, and Nicholas. They can't believe how the three of them are handling co- parenting. The door opens they are surprised to see Winter walking into the room with her mother and Shane's mother walking behind her. The two women are trying to talk her into going back to bed. Winter keeps swatting them away from her. Parker and Harper chuckle, they knew that Winter wasn't going to sit out of this meeting. Especially since all she wants to do is kill Jackie for plotting to kill her McDreamy.

Shane is looking at the three women's empty hands. "Where are Little Star and Little Gem" He looks at the door and then into the hall.

Winter sits down "They are with their grandfathers. Now, where are the trouble makers?" She's looking around the room. "I'm just here to observe." Winter looks at Shane.

He kisses the top of her head. "No killing today, Star Eyes." Shane takes a deep breath " Now tomorrow might be a different story when I tell you what Nick discovered."

She's about to say something when the Gage walks first and points at four chairs. Bronson's arms are folded and he cuts his eyes a Macklin.

"Josey it's good to see you alive. Damn, can you Stonewalls and Jackie come up with anything new besides faking your damn deaths." Shane sits down beside Winter. He and Winter are looking at the four rogues as everyone else in the room is. "We haven't done anything illegal" Malcolm looks at Shane and takes Josey's hand.

"No you haven't the Queen and I want some information. Not any of your bullshit lies. Also, there is another matter that we would like to discuss with you." Shane looks at Josey. He's avoiding looking at Macklin. Every time he looks at him he wants to break his neck. "My nephew said that Manny moves around a lot. Manuel is the same. My mate and I stayed far away from them as possible. I'm sorry about my family's hatred for you." Josey shook her head looking at Shane. "Wait a second. The old subdivision is called Brookhollow. Madron mention that place the last time I saw him."

Harper is looking at the paper that Ophelia wrote all of her properties on it. "Got the address right here." Winter is looking at Jackie but still hasn't said anything. Jackie is fidgeting with her fingers and in her chair.

When Shane asks them about their parents. Josey and Macklin start talking at the same time with the same details. Men are interfering with them talking to Nesib and Malanie. After listening to them go on about how their parents' land is on the market to be sold. Ciara walks into the room saying that she just hung up from Malaine. They will be arriving in four days. But she said the strangest thing. Something about a corner store that she and I use to shop at. I don't recall a corner store" Ciara is looking out the window confused.

Josey and Macklin are mumbling "corner store."

Winter is looking at her mother. Pilar is trying to get her to go back upstairs. Winter turns her head trying to ignore her. "The Corner Store is a store that is downtown. I believe it has condos and loft apartments there."

"Right, Manny and Manuel have condos downtown. It might be where they are planning on keeping them." Macklin jumps up to leave

"Sit down. You're not going anywhere." Shane points at the chair that Macklin was sitting in. "We'll handle this. You four just make yourself at home. Because until all of this s**t is over with your family. All of you are staying here. Hell, we can't take any chances of you deciding to join their asses. But let it be known if either of you makes one f****d up move none of having a problem with killing you. Hell, faking deaths and kidnapping parents. Damn."

Macklin narrows his eyes looking at Shane. "I thought you and your Queen said that we weren't prisoners."

Shane stands up and walks over to stand in front of Macklin "It doesn't make a damn difference if you're a prisoner or not I said you're not going any damn where and sit your a*s down in that damn chair. Or do I have to knock you in it? Either way will work for me." Macklin is breathing hard as he sits down. Jackie pats his arm, trying to calm him down. But he jerks it away from her.

Winter sees it and thinks "trouble in paradise. I wonder why," Then she sees the lustful look in Jackie's eyes when she looks at Shane. "Hell no, oh if I wasn't planning on killing her before she is so dead now." Winter is thinking as she's clenching her fist. Shane heard her thoughts and feels her anger. "Star Eyes clam down. You just gave birth. It's too soon to be fighting. I don't want that woman or any other woman." He's telling her through their mating link.

Winter has lowered her head a little cutting her eyes at Jackie and start talking to her through the link "If you make one damn move on my mate. I promise you I will rip you apart piece by piece. You made your choice when you left Shane for that nasty rogue. Back the f**k off."

Jackie jumps and looks at the floor and rubs her forehead.

"Take them out back to a pack house" Shane glances at Dimitri and sits beside Winter and kisses her forehead. "My Star Eyes was jealous. Me being tempted by another woman will never happen. It never has and never will. I only want and see you" He gives her a peck on her lips and motions for everyone to leave. Shane waits until they are alone before he tells her what Nicholas told him.

"Oh, that b***h. I was racking my brain about what to do with her a*s." Winter gets out of his lap.

Shane is looking at her confused. "What are you doing? I've told you that you can't fight today." He's walking behind her.

"I'm not fighting anyone today." Winter is walking out the door toward the dungeon that Taffy is in.

Shane walks past her and opens the door. When he walks in behind her. He sees Parker, Patrice, Autumn, Yolanda, and Harper holding a container.

Taffy is looking around the room at all of them wondering what is going on. Then her eyes go to Winter's unswollen belly.

Parker opens the cell door. Winter, Shane, and Harper walk into the cell. Shane will kill Taffy himself before he let her fight today.

Winter is now standing in front of Taffy. She looks at Loose Legs up and down.

Taffy doesn't know what to do or say.

"So you wanted to have me beaten, raped, disfigured before your slutty a*s, your a*s-kissing friend Shonda and your dead worthless mother would me. Thanks to your devious mind I now know your faith. Don't worry the raping is out. I could never belittle myself by treating a woman like that. Not even you. But as for the beating, I planned on beating your a*s every which way but loose. The killing part is definitely a hell yes." Winter reaches for the container.

Taffy is looking at the container. "No please don't." Tears are running done her cheek then she screams.

Winter is pouring Caro acid (Pirhana acid) over Taffy's head. She steps back looking at the acid running down her face. "Well, now I must say that acid becomes you. You won't be receiving any medical treatment. In other words, Burn b***h burn," She, Shane, and Harper walk out of the cell they are looking at Taffy.

She's screaming and running around the cell

Shane picks Winter up. "Back to bed after we check on our little ones. Nick will be here soon. He has the first watch for the twins tonight then he'll go back to his pack. Right now he can't stay away too long."

"Okay, as for Irving I still want him watched." She lays her head against his chest.

"Nick and I will keep our eyes on his a*s. We just need you to rest and take care of our Little Gem and Star." He kisses her forehead.

Autumn walks over to the cell and laughs looking at Taffy bumping into the wall. "I hope my sister makes your ugly a*s suffer. This is only the beginning."

Parker laughs and sings "burn Laffy Taffy, burn"
