Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 48

Reese and Pilar are in the gardens discussing Dollar Bill and Gus Horsely. He's still taking in that his once best friends were behind the attempted kidnapping of Winter. Now they're are planning to come for the twins. Even if they had a small fight, he never thought that Gus and Dollar Bill would go that far. Pilar had to calm down last night Reese was thinking about him and some go hunt the two men down and he would kill them. He and his wolf Spartan aren't taking it lightly that someone is coming after their grand pups.

"Sweetheart something is bugging the hell out of me. Irving. Shane said that Irving was the one that discovered the information from Morlock's younger daughter. That's not the part that I'm concerned about. If you remember correctly Gus and Dollar Bill also hung around Irving the last couple of months of your pregnancy. All of this new information it's making me wonder if he was involved in that s**t regarding our daughter." Reese is looking at Ethan training Sacha.

"Dear, I didn't think of that. I have a feeling that we will find out soon. Our daughter, Shane, and Nicholas will not stop until they discover the truth. Shane and Nicholas have sworn to Winter that they will kill everyone that is involved." She kisses Reese's cheek. He nods his head thinking "I'm sure we will. If that bastard Irving was and is involved his a*s is so f*****g dead."

Patrice and Yolanda are standing in the yard looking at the packhouse that Jackie is living in. They have never liked her but not the feeling has turned to hatred because of her faking her death. But more because she plotted to kill their Alpha and friend. Gage and Dimitri are looking out the window and are feeling their mates' anger. Dimitri points at their mates. "I hope they are not about to do what I'm hearing in my mate's thoughts."

"Too late there they go" Gage is looking at the two women approaching the pack house.

"Let's just sit back and watch the show" Dimitri is looking at Yolanda beating on the door

Josey opens the door and looks at Patrice and Yolanda rolling their eyes at her.

"Not you the other one" Patrice points to the inside of the house.

Josey steps back and chuckles "Jackie you have company"

Jackie is walking hesitating to the door. She's surprised to see Yolanda and Patrice. She stops behind Josey and is peeping over her shoulder. Josey steps to the side. "Don't hide behind me. Handle your business"

"Come outside we want to have a heart-to-heart talk with our ex Luna" Yolanda motions for her to come outside. "Luna my a*s"

"What?" Jackie folds her arms and walks out of the door.

Patrice doesn't give her time to close the door. "I knew your a*s was trifling when Shane mated with you. Nothing good will ever come to you." Yolanda walks up to stand in front of Jackie. "Your a*s should have died that day. Hell, we were happy as hell you were dead. Fake death bitch."

Jackie is about to say something when Patrice yells "Shut up. You have no right to say a damn thing. Now you want what you thought was yours. b***h you'll never have Alpha Shane again. Not that you ever had him. The Moon Goddess designed him for you. Not even that was strong enough for you to have his heart" She's walking around Jackie looking her up and down.

"Yep, so get any ideas you have in that big a's head of yours about bedding him out of it. That won't happen. Now take your narrow a*s back to your rogue." She waves her away. "For the record, you aren't and wasn't ever good enough for Shane. Winter has always been the only one that is good enough for him"

Jackie takes a deep breath and turns around when she sees Macklin standing at the door with his arms folded. He smirks, shook his head, and walks down the hall.

Gage scratches his head "At least it wasn't a fight."

Dimitri laughs "No. But I'm sure our beautiful mates feel a hell of a lot better. They finally had a chance to get say what they have been wanting to for years."

Shane walks into the room pushing the twins in a stroller. "Damn I can't change Star Eyes' mind. She's killing Laffy Taffy, Loose Legs, whatever today. She said she and Reika don't want to think about her being this close to them anymore. I offered to kill her but Star Eyes is hell bent on doing the deed herself. I think it's too early for her to be fighting."

Gage is still looking out the window at his mate. "s**t man it seems that all of our mates are in an uproar today. Trice and Land just went off on Jackie."

"They will have to get in line behind Star Eyes for Jackie's a*s. Star Eyes, Autumn, Parker, and Harper are on their way to the dungeon now." Shane sits down frowning until he looks at four beautiful black eyes looking at him. He has forgotten about being mad. Dimitri is standing behind Shane cooing at the twins

Winter and the young ladies are standing at the cell looking at a sleeping Taffy. She had cried herself to sleep. Parker picks up a cup and drags it across the bars. "Fire, fire everyone out. Run for your lives." Taffy jumps up. "Help" she's running to the door and freezes when she comes face to face with Winter.

Winter looks at her "Are we going somewhere?"

Harper, Autumn, and Parker are holding their stomachs laughing.

Taffy throws her hands in front of her face. "Don't look at me. I look gross"

"Actually, I think your new look is an improvement. But I'm not here to trade beauty tips with you. Come on it's time for us to take a walk. "Winter points to the open cell door.

Taffy looks at her confused but walks out the door. Winter leads her outside to the training field and sniffs the air. She looks at Taffy "Smell that fresh air. It's nothing like fresh air. Don't you agree?" Taffy sniffs the air but it's looking at Winter.

"Taffy Tuttle, I don't have time to inform you of all your crimes. Hell, let's be real about you have committed so many. But you already know that. It's your time to die today. Tunic can shift again. I want this to be a fair fight. I mean massacre." Winter is shifting into Rieka.

Taffy looks around the yard at the members. They are looking at her disfigured face. "Stop looking at me. The Queen did this to me. She's cruel"

Everyone burst out laughing and starts repeating "Loose Legs"

Reika is staring at Taffy then she growls. Taffy finally realizes that no one is taking her side so she shifts then she shifts into a black wolf with a white circle around her each eye. Tunic kicks up dirt with her two back legs and growls at Reika. Reika tilts her head to the right and then to the left. She looked over at her sister, the twins, and shook her head. Tunic is running full speed at Reika. Reika is standing still looking at the wolf. Reika waits until the wolf is close, she swings her right huge sharp claw at Tunic's face. Tunic howls while flying in the air just as she is about to land on the ground she falls into Reika's mouth. Reika had run and caught her. She bites down on the wolf's back and rips a piece off. Tunic is whining as another piece of her back is being torn off. Tunic howls and whines louder Reika throws her to the ground and starts biting and ripping the wolf to pieces. Half of Tunic's head is in her mouth and blood is dripping. Reika spits it out of her mouth and looks around the ground at bloody body parts.

Shane, Gage, and Dimitri are standing beside the twins and Autumn. Shane walks over to Reika and kisses the top of her head. "Star Eyes you seem to have an audience. Look in the window at the packhouse where Jackie."

Reika looks toward the packhouse and sees Jackie staring at her. She lets out the loudest growl. Jackie jumps and runs out of the window. Reika shifts back into Winter.

Shane wraps his arms around her. "That is enough excitement for you today. Our beautiful daughters are over there. I was thinking that we could take them for a walk by the waterfall."

Winter laughs "Like I said nothing like fresh air"

About ten minutes earlier Nick and Sabrina are putting the finishing touches on the twin's nursery. He's standing back looking at the silk soft pink and white flora wall with Nicolasa and Shantana's names written in darker pink script letters on the flowers. "Perfect." Sabrina is placing stocking up the last of the two diaper changing tables.

Irving walks into the nursery and smiles "My word it's beautiful. Dear, you and Nicholas have outdone yourselves."

Sabrina hugs Nicholas "All of this was Nick. I just did what I was told. I do agree it's beautiful"

'I can't take all the credit. We decorated the twin's nursery at the palace with unicorns and princesses. Winter had a list of the themes she love. I picked the pink and white floral. I remember a wall painting that I saw and that's when I came up with the silk flower wall. It turned out better than I expected." Nicholas is about to take a picture of it to send to Winter when he screams and goes and grabs his chest "Winter is killing Taffy. Shane text me earlier to give heads up. " He sits in a rocker gripping and enduring the pain. Nick closes his eyes and holds his scream in

Sabrina wraps her arms around him Irving is talking to him calmly. "Be strong son. The pain won't last too much longer."

Irving was right the fight didn't last long. Nick is breathing harder "Damn Win and Rieka wasn't playing around. One problem solved. I need some air." He walks out of the nursery.

Irving is looking at the twins' names. "I assume that both grands will be coming here."

"Yes, they will after all they sisters. Nick and Shane consider both girls as their daughters." She narrows her eyes looking at him. "No funny business. Nicholas has already warned you.

"Don't worry dear I was only asking I saw Shantana's name on the wall also." He points at the flower wall.

"Oh okay," She nods her head but isn't sure if she believes him.

Nicholas, Blake, and Hayden are walking on the edge of the border. He's telling them about Winter killing Taffy, he stops in the middle of a sentence and sniffs. "I smell three stinky a*s rogues." He turns to the left looking into the woods.

Blake and Hayden are also looking in the same direction as he is when three men walk out laughing.

"Hello, cousin I was wondering if you, your Alpha, and your friend would ever come this way. Hell, we were debating about going in there after you three. " Gordon is looking at Blake.

"All you had to do was call me and we would have been here. "Blake looks at him up and down

Nicholas is looking at Peyton "I'm glad to see your a*s. You came back for another beat down."

Peyton looks at Nick "You won't be so lucky this time."

Nick laughs "Yeah right a*****e."

Hayden is looking at a blonde-haired man. "Man I don't know you but I assume you're here for me. s**t, let's do this thing"

The man smirks and cracks his knuckles as he's shifting.

"Let's get it on" Nick is shifting into Wilder.

"It's lights out for your a*s." Blake is shifting into Jammer same time Hayden is shifting into Spitfire.

Spitfire is looking at a little brown wolf that is snapping at him. He and the wolf jump at each other at the same time and nos on two legs clawing at each other. Spitfire bites the wolf's shoulder and starts shaking him. The wolf is howling while trying to break loose. Spitfire relaxes his sharp teeth for a second and catches the wolf's neck in his mouth and clamps down. The wolf didn't make a sound.

Jammer and Gordon's wolf are rolling on the ground. Jammer is on top and he swings his sharp claw across the wolf's chest. then he leans down biting the wolf's chest. Gordon's wolf is scuffling and snapping at Jammer's head. Jammer hit the wolf's nose with his claw bites down on it and rips it off. The wolf is whining. Jammer gets off the wolf and looks at his cousin before clawing his chest and ripping his throat.

Peyton's wolf stomach is in Wilder's mouth. Wilder isn't playing with the wolf. He rips the right side of the wolf. The wolf is whining as it tries to stand up. He's looking at his own blood dripping from Wilder's mouth. Then Wilder leaps at Peyton's wolf, and the wolf falls to the ground on his back. Wilder lets out a loud growl and snaps at the wolf. He opens his mouth side and quickly bites the wolf's head off and pulls it off.

Blake and Hayden are walking from behind a tree after dressing.

"Mutherfuckers didn't know who they were f*****g with. Too bad it was only three of them" Nicholas is on a little rampage while he's sliding a tank top over his head when his phone rings. He smiles when he sees the twins' picture on his screen. It's a duo video call. He sees Winter and the twins.

"Video call"

"Look there's daddy" She holding the twins up.

Nicholas is still smiling. "Daddy will be there in the morning. I miss them so much"

"They miss you too. I'm sorry about the pain earlier." She frowns a little. "I was hoping by seeing our beautiful daughters would make you feel better."

"Yes, it does make me feel better." Nicholas glances at Blake and Hayden. They are standing beside him looking at the video

"Look at those beautiful faces. I know which one is which Nicolasa by her eyes. She has your eyes and Shantana has Shane's eyes. It's a good thing that they have Winter's beautiful looks." Hayden chuckles and pats Nicholas's shoulder

Nicholas laughs" True. They are beautiful just like their mother."

"Make sure you're here for breakfast. Shane is cooking." Winter kisses the tops of the twins' heads.

"Okay, I will be there. I've finished the nursery and I'll bring pictures tomorrow." Nicholas runs his finger across Little Gem than Little Star's cheeks. "I miss those two. See you in the morning"

"They miss you too. Tell daddy bye-bye" Winter said as the call ends

"End of video call"

Nicholas slides his phone into his pocket. "Those three are the most important people in my life. Now someone wants to take my pups I can't allow that to happen. Shane and I will not hesitate to kill anyone that comes after those three. I'm sure as hell hope that Irving is on the up and up. I would hate to put my mother through so much pain. But if it comes down to it. I will"

Aurora and her pack have been training most of the day. Now she's meeting with her sister and Janita her Beta. Lanita has been quiet since the first night they arrive.

Angie keeps pointing at Lanita with her head. She wants Aurora to find out what is going on with her. Because she has something important to discuss with them that she isn't happy about.

But the Alpha is informing them that they will be traveling to the palace in a few days to discuss pack and personal business. Her plan is to finish business and then find out what has her friend so unhappy.

Lanita keeps looking toward the wood "My mate was here. But he doesn't want me and he ran away." She starts crying. "Roe he doesn't want me."

Aurora hugs her. "Honey I'm sure that's not what it is. Cold feet, yeah that's what happened. He got cold feet or he's a rogue."

Lanita looks up at her. "A rogue?"

"I'm just saying" Roe frowns a little and pats Lanita's head.

Angie is looking at her with her mouth open. "My mate ran away too. What is with these men in America? I knew we should have kept our asses in the West Indies. I followed his manly scent to the water but he was gone. Come to think of it why would my mate be down by the water?" She looks at the two women confused.

Now Roe and Lanita are looking at her confused. Neither one had an answer for her. Then Roe pats Angie's shoulder "maybe he's a rogue fish and swim away from you as fast as he could." she chuckles

Lanita chuckles "That's a good one. Rogue fish."

Angie is trying not to laugh but she couldn't hold it in. Now all three are laughing and hugging each other.
