Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 47

After doubling the security around the palace Shane is meeting with the higher ranks, Reese, Cooper, and Clayton. He wants Reese to tell him more about Gus and Dollar Bill.

Reese was a little shocked that two men that he had once considered to be his best friends are behind the attempting kidnapping of his granddaughters. Now he's thinking back to when Winter was born and wondering if they were behind all the attempts on her abductions. He's deep in thought as Shane is talking about Nesib and Melanie. Cooper and Clayton are planning to go with Shane and the others when they go to rescue their friends. Clayton is worried about his mate. Ciara has been upset because she and Melanie have remained friends even though her sons turned rogue. That is one of the reasons that Nesib and Melanie. Clayton doesn't like feeling all of her mixed emotions. Cooper is going to a similar thing with Ariel but not as bad. Ariel just wants all the Stonewalls boys dead. Because she's tired of them coming after her son. Ace, Bronson, and Dimitri are tired of Macklin. Gage ignores him. Some of the pack members are complaining because of the loud music that he was playing last night. Some of the warriors want to kill him. When several went to the house to ask him to turn it down he turned it up louder and slammed the door in their face.

"That son of a b***h. I knew his dense a*s couldn't act right. I'll deal with him after this meeting. Right now I need Gage and Ace to make sure the warriors are ready when we attack the Stonewalls training camp. Bronson, I want you to go with Dimitri to go to the stadium. I want to know how the team is looking like the first game of the season is coming up. Take some warriors with you. I want to take Star Eyes that night then to a late night romantic dinner " Shane is looking at Gage concerned.

Gage was quiet during the meeting and he kept looking out the window. Shane asks him to stay after everyone leaves. As soon as the door closes "Man, Patrice wants another pup. I don't know if I want another one right now. But I have to admit I'm enjoying the ride. I was hoping to get a little break from diapers for a while"

Shane laughs. "s**t man I thought that you were about to tell me that you were leaving or dying. It's just diapers man. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I'm looking forward to when Star Eyes and I have another little one." He looks at the pictures of Winter and the twins that are on his desk.

"A pup that is just yours and Winter's." Gage leans his head looking at Shane.

"I never thought much about that. I feel as if Little Gem is mine just as much as she is Nicholas if not more. Don't try to change the subject. Get on you j.o.b. and give your mate a pup." Shane points at him while he's walking out of the office.

Malcolm and Macklin are arguing about the loud music and how it kept their pups up most of the night. Jackie and Josey have been trying to calm them down when there is a knock on the door. Jackie opens the door and smiles when she sees Shane standing there. Shane doesn't crack a smile. "Tell your mate to bring his disrespectful a*s out here right now."

Jackie is about to say something but stops when Macklin comes to the door. He looks at Shane up and down. "What may I do for you, King Shane?"

"Mutherfucker don't eye me like that. Your music. As of right now, it isn't allowed to be played in this house. I won't let you disrespect the members. "Shane is trying to control himself. He wants to beat the hell out of Macklin right now. Macklin smirks "whatever"

"Son of a b***h. I'll whatever your nasty a*s." Shane grabs him and throws him ground and starts pounding him in the face. Macklin is swinging at him until Shane picks him up and slams him into the side of the house A loud cracking sound and Macklin screams. Shane throws Macklin's broken body into the house. "Next time I'll kill your stinky a*s."

Macklin is trying to stand up but he falls back to the floor. Jackie is still standing at the door. Shane looks at Jackie. "Keep your l**t under control. I won't ever feel anything for you."

Winter is standing in the window looking at them. "Jackie you will never see the outside of these walls."

"I knew it. You're planning to kill her a*s regardless." Parker yells

Winter turns to look at her. "I wouldn't say regardless. But yes she is so damn dead. The thought of her plotting against McDreamy irritates the hell out of me. But first Laffy Taffy then Jackie. Why are there so many women to kill?" Harper laughs "Because they want your handsome McDreamy and your Nicky. You know your babies' daddies"

Winter rolls her eyes at her. "Why did I ask you anything?" She looks over at the twins. "Laffy Taffy's last day on this planet is in two days. I'm tired of her existence. Make sure everything is prepared for McDreamy's cousin and his wife. They both are Alphas and will be staying for a few days." Winter picks the twins up and rocks them."Mommy loves you two so much." Her mind goes on Irving. "I'm hoping that he isn't involved in this crazy kidnapping. If so I'll rip his scheming head off." Winter is thinking as she kisses the top of the twins' heads.

Irving in the study drinking a glass of whiskey to celebrate the birth of Nicolasa but not Shantana. He will protect them both because he doesn't want to see either pup harmed. But he still wants his pup to be the next heir to the throne. "Damn it I have to beat Cooper at something" He mumbles

"It's too early to be drinking. I see you still have hatred for Cooper Atkinson. The way I see it you two are related now through our granddaughters." Sabrina is walking into the room. "Granddaughter not granddaughters." Irving points at her.

She walks around in front of him. "That kind of bullshit thought will get your a*s killed. Nicholas considers Shantana his pup just as Shane does regarding Nicolasa. Because of you he and I have traveled to visit with them. Winter nor Shane trusts you. Irving Forrester if you do one more foul thing I'm going to reject you and banish your a*s. After all this territory is my birthright."

He takes her hands. "I'm not going to do anything stupid. Why can't our Little Gem be the next Queen after all Winter was mated to Nick first?"

Sabrina snatches her hands "Nicholas and I have already explained that to you Shantana was born first. Those are the royal rules. So get over it."

"Well, I don't have to like it" He mumbles looking at pictures of the twins that Nicholas had framed and put on the wall.

Nicholas, Hayden, and Blake have been trying to locate Peyton and Gordon. From the text messages, they have read on Shonda's phone Gordon is planning to attack the pack but no timeframe was mentioned. Nicholas nor wilder is happy about it because they want to spend time with their pups.

Blake and Jammer are still on cloud nine. Hayden is happy for him. But wishes Blake would stop humming. Hayden also has news of his own. He and Kim are expecting. All three men are in a bro hug.

Nicholas decided that he and Hayden would go to the palace early and leave around nine. Blake wanted to go so he could be close to Autumn. Nicholas didn't think that was a good idea for him to be in the same place as his young mate. He didn't want Jammer to take control and go against Reese's orders.

****

Manny and Manuel have been locked in Manny's office both men are pacing when they're not throwing things. They don't understand how the men they hired can be so loyal to Denzel and not them.

Manny is also upset because he has been trying to communicate with Ophelia but she has blocked him. he's sure that she isn't dead because he hasn't felt any pain. "Hell Ophelia, what is going on there? You could have at least given me some details about the guards or something." Then he hears "f**k you. I Ophelia Evans reject Manny Stonewall as my mate" and then the link goes dead. He falls into the closest chair. "That b***h rejected me. If she thinks she's keeping my son she has another thing coming. I'll blow the damn palace up before I let my pup live in a damn dungeon."

"Hell, I would reject your a*s too. You haven't tried to rescue her. What did you think was going to happen?" Manuel is still looking at the house. "Ophelia is just another she-wolf. As far as a son go you can always have one with someone else. that arrogant bastard is bugging the hell out of me."

"Mardon, Mardon" Manny is yelling and looking at the door. "Where in the hell is that boy at?"

"Oh, he and his mate packed up and left yesterday" Manuel sits down and looks at him. "It seems that it's just you and me."

Manny doesn't say anything he's taking in that his son has left him with a word. That his mate just rejected him."

In the pack house, Denzel is thinking about his mate. As much as he wanted to introduce himself to her. He couldn't do that while he was with rogues. But he will soon after all of this is over with. He has to come up with a plan to keep Manny and Manuel's minds off of his mate's pack. So that everything will go according to the original plan. One of his men leans over to him. "How much longer do we have to live in this shitty place?"

"Not much longer. Maybe a week or so. Remember to keep your ears and eyes open at all times." Denzel is looking across the room at the redheaded man thinking "You won't touch my mate. I know that you're a traitor. For that, you will die soon."

Gage and Dimitri meet Nicholas and Hayden when they arrive at the palace. They are on their way out to check on the guards. they also have to make sure that all the borders are as Shane had ordered. Hayden decided that he would go along. He wanted Remus to run for a while.

When they arrive at the border, they don't see anything wrong. But Maxx one of the guards tells Gage that about twelve minutes ago they heard some rogues running past the other side of the woods. But they didn't stop. This concerns Gage, so he orders more warriors all over the borders. He informs Shane about it and it also concerns him.

Nicholas had just finished telling Shane about the attack that he is expecting when Gage contacted Shane. Now Nicholas doesn't feel good about leaving the twins tonight. But he and Shane know that he has to go back to the pack to protect it. Nicholas is burping Little Gem "It's time for us to introduce our little ones to Loose Legs."

"Sound good to me." Shane has just finished changing Little Star's diaper. I'm sure she'll be happy to see us or anyone right about now"

Winter is walking into the nursery as they are walking out. "Where are you four off to?"

Shane kisses her forehead and winks at her. "We're taking the twins on a field trip. We won't be long"

"Field trip?" She's looking at them confused. Neither Shane nor Nick is carrying a diaper bag.

Nicholas steps onto the elevator. "Acid field trip. They're never too young to learn about their mommy's temper" He and Shane laugh

"Those two are just as bad as Harper and Parker." She shook her head and put her hands on her hips.

In the dungeon, Taffy is sitting on the floor crying. It's the same spot that she dropped to when Winter, Shane, and the others left. No one has come to check on her or brought her food or water. She was yelling for Winter earlier but still didn't get a guard or anyone to come in.

"My face, how could she do this to me. At least I was going to kill her afterward. " Taffy lays down on her back.

"By killing Win after you and the others torture her. Would that justify your foul a*s actions?" Nicholas is walking over to the cell.

"Nick" she whispers and tries to cover her face with her hands. But can't because it hurts when anything touches it. "Don't look at me. I'm ugly" She turns her head away without looking at him. "Loose Legs the acid is definitely an improvement." Shane is now standing beside Nicholas. "Now turn your a*s around and look at us. After all, I'm sure you want to see Nicholas."

Taffy slowly turns around and her eyes go to the two bundles that are wrapped in pink blankets. She has forgotten about the disfigured face. All she can think about is Nicholas holding a baby

"This is why we're here. Winter did something that you couldn't and never will do. Winter is a remarkable woman." Nicholas looks at his daughter. "Yep, she gave me and Shane both a daughter with one pregnancy. At least pretend to be happy about our wonderful news. Grab that blanket and hold it in front of your face and you. We don't want to scare Nicholasa and Shantana."

Taffy starts back crying. "Why are you two so cruel to me?"

Shane looks at her with an angrier expression "Cruel to you. All you have done is tried to harm the woman that we love. How could you fix your mouth to ask us that? Cruel to you my a*s. You haven't seen or heard cruelty yet. But you will. I'm one hundred percent sure of that."

"Nick please tell Winter to have someone come look at my burns. Tunic isn't healing. Please" She's looking at him with pleading eyes.

"No, I won't do that. this is the last time that you will see my face. I sure as hell don't want to see your face. Shane and I are going to spend some time with our beautiful daughters." Nicholas coos at Little Gem

Shane is about to walk away but stops "If it makes you feel better you won't have to worry about looking that way for too long. Star Eyes will take care of that for you." He looks at Little Star. "Let's go see your beautiful mommy."

Taffy falls to the floor crying and hitting her chest. "I was the one that was supposed to give Nicky a pup."
