Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 12

While trying on gowns Taffy has been telling her mother how mean Nicholas and Wilder are to her and Tunic. Also that Wilder refuses to talk to Tunic and always tells her that he and Nick only has one mate and that's Winter. Taffy goes into details about the night Nicholas was drunk from whiskey and wolfbane. He said that he would never sleep with her. After listening to her daughter complaining. "It seems that we will have to give Alpha Nick a little push. Just leave it to mommy. Here try this. Put a little in whatever he's drinking." She hands Taffy a small bag pouch that contains a white powder. "A lady always has to be prepared for the unexpected. After consuming this he's yours for a couple of to do with how and whatever you want. Now, this would look great on you. Yes, you'll even make the new Queen wish that she's you." Penelope is holding up a red strapless mini dress.

"Mother, Nicholas said for me to dress decently. I don't believe he would approve of this." Taffy shakes her head, but it's smiling." But it's definitely me."

Her mother takes her hand leading her to the fitting room. "Trust me this will get Nicholas and Wilder stirred up"

After trying on the dress, Taffy agrees with her mother regarding wearing the dress to the ball. All she can think of is getting Nicolas to have s*x with her. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

When Taffy returns home she's met by Nicholas. He looks at the garment bag. "I assume that you chose a dress that's presentable. You and I have somewhere to be in a few minutes." Nicholas is walking into the den to join his mother. "Okay, what should I wear?" A smiling Taffy is

"There is no need to change. What you have on is fine" He doesn't look at her.

She smiles as she runs upstairs, thinking. "Nicky is taking me out. I wonder where. He must be planning a picnic by the lake since I don't have to get dressed up for the occasion. Taffy doesn't waste any time hanging the dress up and running back down the stairs. She's stopped by Kirby and Shonda. "Girls I can't talk right now. Nicky is taking me out" Taffy yells and chuckles, running into the den.

Sabrina and Nicholas are sitting across from each other talking very low. She's only nodding her head listening to her son then she burst out laughing. "Oh yes, I agree with you one-hundred percent. While you are out I have a feeling that I need to check into something." Sabrina's thinking and looking at Taffy standing in the doorway."Who knows what foolish that dame mother has installed in that worthless brain of yours."

Nicholas turns around to see who his mother is looking at. "Let's go" He stands up and starts walking out the patio. Taffy is walking behind him still smiling. She runs to catch up with him so that she can walk beside him. Taffy reaches for his hand, only to get it slapped. Nicholas growls "Didn't I tell you not to f*****g touch me?"

Taffy jumps back, looking at him. then she looks at the building that he's walking in. "Why are we here?" She's asking looking at Dr. Clampette."

Nicholas ignores her. "Is everything ready?" He's looking at the doctor and Nurse Nelly.

"Yes Alpha" Dr. Clampette rolls his eyes at Taffy.

"Is what ready?" Taffy yells

Nicholas turns to look at her. "Isn't the plan for you to conceive quickly? So the good Doctor is going to give you an exam just to make sure that you're in good health before we proceed. Do you have any objections?" Taffy shakes her head speed walking past him. He walks behind her into the exam room. She turn around looking at him confused.

"I've been betrayed too many times lately. So I'll be right here during this exam. I can't trust you to tell me the truth. But don't worry I won't look at your body. You don't have anything that I'm interested in." Nicholas points at the screen for her to change behind. She walks behind the screen, more confused by his words. But she hurries to change and to get on the exam table. Dr. Clampette didn't waste any time examining and running tests on her. He cuts his eyes and frowns at Taffy several times. "Nelly do we have her medical records loaded into our system yet?"

"s**t " Taffy mumbles

Nicholas hears her. He looks at her then his mind goes on the frowns that the doctor was giving her. He's wondering what's wrong.

The Doctor is reading Taffy's medical records and he shakes his head.

"So Doc are we going to be able to do artificial insemination?" Nicholas walk over to him

Taffy sits looking at him and yells "artificial insemination?"

"Yes, that's the only we will ever have a pup. So take it or leave it. You can always go back home. The pack will still be mine." He looks at her

"Nicky, I don't believe you're doing this" She's still looking at him

"Why not, it's not nearly as bad as you, your parents, and that man that used to be my father did to me. Didn't I tell you not to call me that?" He looks back at the doctor. "It's there a problem with us proceeding with the procedure?"

Doctor Clampette looks at her. "Young lady just how many abortions have you had? From your medical records, it seems to have been quite a few. Some that weren't done by a profession that your old pack doctor had to treat you for infection. When I examine you l saw some scar tissues that haven't healed on your human side."

Nicholas looks at her shaking his head with a huge grin "Answer the good doc"

"I don't know what that has to do with anything" She's sliding off the table

"Well, young lady your previous actions have a lot to do with you conceiving a pup. I have to be honest by the look of the scars it's not looking too good." Doctor Clampette is looking at an angry woman.

I'm you Luna and you will address me as Luna" She yells as she's getting dressed.

"Don't take your frustration out on Dr. Clampette. All of this is because of your own doing. Doc, I need you to inform me only about the results. I have something to take care of." Nicholas walks out of the exam thinking "That is the best news that I have had lately. I didn't want my seed in her a*s"

Inside the house, Sabrina is in Taffy's room and it's searching for anything that can help her son. She doesn't have any idea what she's looking for but she knows that Taffy and Penelope are up to something. Sabrina is in her closet."I wonder what this trifling bitch planning on wearing to the party." She unzips the garment bag. "Oh hell no" She takes the dress out of the bag looking at it. The pouch that Penelope had given Taffy falls on the floor. Sabrina picks it up. "I knew they were up to something." Sabrina looks at the dress one more time shaking her head. "She's going to make this pack a laughing stock. I should say something to Nick. s**t maybe just let her make a fool out of herself. But first, let me get rid of whatever this is." She put the dress back in the bag. Sabrina goes into her bathroom and pours powder into a container. She's trying to think of what she can put in the pouch for now. She ends up putting body powder in it and rushes back into Taffy's room and put the pouch back into the garment bag." "I'm watching you b***h. You and that damn no good as mate of mine won't hurt my son again." Sabrina's thinking.

Taffy is in the yard sitting in the swing. She still can't believe that Nick is so disgusted with her that the only way he'll have a pup with her is through a procedure. Then it dawns on her that she might not be able to get pregnant. Taffy screams as tears are coming down her cheeks.

Queen Pilar has been hands-on in organizing Winter's party. She's dancing around the hall to This Kiss By Faith Hill

I don't want another heartbreak

I don't need another turn to cry, no

I don't want to learn the hard way

Baby, hello, oh no, goodbye

But you got me like a rocket

Shooting straight across the sky

King Reese walks into the hall, smiles start dancing with her. At the end of the song, he pulls her into him, kisses her, and laughs after they release each other lips.

"Thank you for the dance my King" She gives him a peck on his lips

"My beautiful Queen, you're welcome. It's beautiful our daughter and her mate will love it. Her mate. Our little girl is fully mated and will be taking over next week. She's gonna forget about her old man" He pouts

She laughs "Winter has spoiled you with those late-night rituals you two be having. I'm still processing that she and Shane are mated. But you never told me all the details about those assholes." Now she's looking seriously at him.

He sighs then shakes his head. "We still haven't found out if Nicholas was involved in the negotiations of that damn deal. If not I feel that he should have talked to our daughter before he made his decision or just left her the hell alone. I still have a few choice words for that young man"

Pilar wraps her arms around him. "Dear, I'm sure we'll get all the answers soon. But what worries me is if our daughter replaces out that Nicholas was involved. Who knows how she'll react. Even if she's mated to Shane now. You know ego and pride can still be stronger. Hell I wouldn't take it too kindly if I found out that I was rejected for a damn pack or anything else once I think about it"

"Oh sweetheart, this is some f****d up s**t. We'll just have to sit back and watch it play out." Reese kisses her forehead.

Shane, Gage, and Dimitri are discussing their victory over the battle they just fought. All three men are very impressed with Winter and the twins fighting skills. Shane laugh thinking about how Rieka preyed and then pounced on Noah's wolf before she killed him. "Too bad they ruin you and Winter's night. The bright side of it is that those bastards won't be coming after us or anyone else again." Dimitri pours three glasses of Bourbon.

Shane nods his head. "Yeah, I don't have to worry about those two brothers coming after my father. Tomorrow I need one of you to list the land on the Alpha's website. Here is the amount that I'm asking for it" Shane writes the figures on a post-it. "But run every offer by me."

Gage looks out the window at some kids playing. "Damn the thought of leaving this place hadn't occurred to me. s**t, we were raised here. You and Star Eyes' first kiss was here. Dimitri and my pups were born here."

"Have you had enough of memory lane?" Dimitri laughs

"We do have some wonderful memories here. My place is next to Star Eyes. Her place is at the palace, so there is where we all belong. I'm sure that we'll have a good and easy transition. I'll announce the move to the pack in the morning. We'll be moving there in four days. Star eyes want all of us to be settled before the party and the crowning." Shane taps his desk, thinking. "I still can't believe how great of a warrior my decile and beautiful Star Eyes is."

"Shane have you thought about Nicholas being at the party? All Alpha's and future Alpha's were invited." Gage takes a sip of the Bourbon.

"Star Eyes is mine now. As long as Nicholas remembers that he rejected her and stays the hell away from her then he and I won't have a problem. His a*s better not make one f*****g move. I'm still highly pissed off about the pain that she endure the other night. At long as he acts civil so will I" Shane clenches his fist and mumbles "Bastard"

On the patio Winter, Parker and Harper are eating cotton candy. Winter is in deep thought and she takes a deep breath. "Ladies something is bugging the hell out of me. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's as if I have forgotten something or something might happen. I'm not sure, just keep your ears and eyes open."

"It probably has something to do with Nicholas and Loose Legs. I'm sure they'll be there. If so what are you going to do?" Harper looks at her a little concern

Winter sits back in her chair. "First I'll let old Bob know his place and who has the power. Also, tell him that with Laffy Taffy he might have gotta pack. But I have a kingdom." She smirks

The twins are looking at her confused

Winter stands up looking at Shane walking their way. "If you ladies will excuse me. McDreamy and I are going to finish making out on the Ferris wheel." She walks over to him. Shane gives her a peck on the lips and turns around for her to get on his back. "What do you think she meant about a pack" Parker is still looking at Winter climbing on Shane's back.

Harper shakes her head. "Damn that's why Nick rejected her and mated with Loose Legs. But how would Win know that?"

"Her birthday, she and Rieka must have gotta their powers to communicate with all werewolves. Oh, snaps." Parker yells and covers her mouth.
