Rejected Mate
Chapter twenty-eight helping the enemy

"Where here” hazy calls out. I open my eyes and groan, not like this

“Alright”, I mumble, unbuckling my seat belt. I notice everyone lined up nicely outside in waiting tobe introduced to the new alpha, something I've seen over and over again through the touring of thepacks because Hazyn never told anyone who the new alpha is, just that there is one which I replaceinteresting. Still, it's something I've become accustomed to.

I allow Hazyn to get out first before making my entrance so I can try and get my nerves up to beable to get up out of the car.

"Hazyn welcome, where is this new alpha? Everyone is super excited to meet them” I get up out ofthe car and dust myself off.

“I'm right here”, I push out with my alpha tone to show who is boss.

“You know my Luna Hazyn", I state before walking closer to Hazyn.

"What is this nonsense” Matthew yells out, making his father hold him back as he goes to pounce.“The moon goddess granted us mateship, and since then, we have gotten married, and I took overas alpha when Hazyn resigned to Luna. If you have an issue with this, you are more than welcome tocome and fight, but you won't survive the attack,” I growl, making Matthew back off and whimper.“Shall we go inside and get this over with” I question, making the alpha nod

"We shall” I watch as all the pack members disband while watching me over their shoulder.

I follow the alpha inside the packhouse and keep my head up high while grabbing at hazyns hand.So many memories rush through my head and while I am here in a position of authority, for somereason being in this position makes the memories worse.

"You okay” Hazyn questions through the mind link

"Yeah, just bad memories”, I respond as the memory of the boys beating me up In the hallway.

I shake myself off as we land up in the alphas office to talk.

“Thank you for allowing us into your pack” I start the minute the office door is closed.

“You are more than welcome, alpha Erica, but I do wish you would have come at a better time. Yousee, we are getting threats from the bear pack, and I'm afraid it looks like it'll turn into a pack war” Inod my head before turning to Hazyn, wondering what to say; the other packs were so easy to getalong with but with this pack being my home pack makes it so much more difficult I'm scared that ifI say the wrong thing I will still get punished somehow.

"Alpha Erika and I understand this is such a hard time for your pack, but I'm sure Erika would agreethat if you need any help, our pack is only a call away”, Hazyn comments, making me nod inagreement.

“Thank you, it means a lot, but I do have to say I am surprised you came here”, Alpha comments.

“I can understand that, but with taking over as alpha as you are well aware, it is customary to visitallies and make sure the alliances are still in place”, I state, making alpha nod.

“I must say I assumed with you taking over that you wouldn't want to keep the alliance, but I amglad you have decided to keep it in place; I know things won't be easy between the packs, but wewill make it work.” Alpha smiles before standing up. We follow suit.

“I assume you remember where your room was last time; we set it up again for you two” alphasmiles before taking his leave; I head in the direction of the room, sidestepping Matthew as I getclose to the bedroom door.

“Thank god that is over”, I laugh at Hazyn as we enter the bedroom to sleep after the long day.

I wake up to a hanging on the door

“What now" I groan, pulling myself out of the bed and opening the door to see Craig franticallypacing

"What" I growl, annoyed

"Under- attack”, Craig screams before running off; I look at Hazyn, who is already jumping out ofbed.

“Any time to call our pack” I question as he looks out the window.

“no, we don't even have time to go through the house”, Hazyn sighs opening the window andjumping out into his wolf; I take a deep breath and follow suit, hitting the ground in wolf form andrunning towards the alpha of the bear pack.

“Stop now”, I hiss, changing into human form. Everyone stops fighting and turns towards us.

"Who are you?” Alpha bear questions

"Alpha Erika, what has led to this fight; you shouldn't need to fight for no reason, and you attack inthe middle of the night, so why?" I question, making Hazyn mind link to tell me to stop, but I justignore him.

“They killed my son”, the alpha growls, making me turn to my old pack in confusion

"What" I question

"Years ago my son was on a walk, and he never returned, we found his body in no man’s land, andafter that, I started looking for his killers we found out from a rogue whoever it was is from this packshe I want revenge” I look over at the pack looking for who looks guilty and land on Matthew andhis friends.

" you didn't?" I growl, rushing over to them to face them face to face.

"We're sorry, we thought he was going to help you because he was around your den” they all puttheir heads down.

“I will make the moon goddess make them pay but leave this pack now,” I say, turning back to thealpha of the bear pack sho nods before making his pack retreat.

"If they are not punished, we will be back to burn this place down he growls before following hispack.
