Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 25

During breakfast, Taffy kept rolling her eyes at her sister and Crystal. She still can't get over how her father marked and mated with another she-wolf so fast. Crystal ignored her not because she was scared of her. But because she refused to stoop down to Taffy's level.

"Father, when does my training begin?" Muffy smirks, looking at Taffy. "I can't wait to meet my Mate."

"Today, while your mother is out shopping. She's redecorating a few rooms." Morlock smiles at Crystal, Crystal smiles at him and their daughter.

"Good because mother already started training me. I'm excited that I can train with the warriors. So my Mate will know that I'm a strong Alpha. Not a weak trick." Muffy cut her eyes at Taffy. Crystal looks at her daughter "You're going to be a wonderful Alpha. Your father will make sure of that."

Taffy couldn't take it any longer. She excuses herself from the table and storms out of the house. She gets into her car and drives off. She's talking to herself about her father having lost all of his marbles. "I can't believe this s**t. That b***h is the Queen. She killed my mother. Nicholas is just as bad as my father. He has lost his damn mind room. My f*****g uncle talking about he has his own damn plan for Shane and Winter. I just want the b***h dead. Yesterday was a f*****g disaster. Why in the hell were Nick and Wilder there? The night when we came back from that dame coronation what did Nick mean by him and Winter will always be connected?" She yells while speeding toward Nicholas's territory. Before she knows it she's looking at Blake and several warriors standing in front of a large gate.

"Now I know we're in for a f****d up day. Look what the wind brought here. A large hefty bag of trash" Blake is walking over to Taffy's car. He taps on the window.

She's looking toward the house. "Let me in. I'm still the Alpha's mate," she yells through the window

Blake and the other men laugh.

"You're a mate only in your mind. Why are you here?" Blake motions for her to let the window down.

"To talk to Nick" She yells through the window.

Blake walks away from the car. "Bitch."

She's looking at him walking away. So Taffy let the window down. "Blake I need to speak with Nick. It's important."

"Okay, so your window does work after all. Are you sure you want to be in the same room with him after that dumb a*s stunt you and your dead mother pulled yesterday?" Blake is also communicating with Nick through their link.

Taffy is rolling her eyes at him. As the gate opens. "Good luck on making it out alive" Blake motions for her to drive through the gate.

Nicholas is in his office. "That b***h has the dame nerves to show her f*****g face after trying to take the mother of my pup." He yells as Hayden opens the door to let Taffy in.

She runs over to him. "Nick it was all a misunderstanding. All I wanted to do was talk to her. I wanted her to leave you alone." She reaches for his hand. But only to get pushed away.

"Sit down" He points at a chair across from his desk. Nick waits until Taffy sits down. "You're such a liar. You and your damn relatives were planning on kidnapping her. That was so damn stupid. As for Winter leaving me alone. Winter has every right to call or see me whenever she wants to. You're the one that has no right to even be in the same damn room me or her. Rogue. I've always known that it was something about you that Wilder and I didn't like. It's that nasty stinking rogue blood that's running in those evil a*s veins of yours."

"Please give me a chance to explain." She yells through the tears.

"There is nothing to explain. I was there remember? Let's not forget the fake abduction that you four staged. Hell Taffy if you were kidnapped, one damn thing is for sure. That is you sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here lying to me. It's only one thing to do. I Alpha Nicholas Irving Forrester rejects Taffy Nane Tuttle"

She's shaking her head repeatedly." No. No No. I don't accept it. I'll never accept it"

"It doesn't matter. Don't let me see your face again." He's looking at Cassy his secretary walking into the office.

"Sir the Queen and King sent an announcement. They're expecting a pup." Cassy looks at him concerned.

"What?" Taffy jumps out of the chair yelling.

"Sir I'm sorry I didn't know that you weren't alone" Cassy is looking at a furious Taffy. She didn't see Taffy because of the high-back chair that Taffy was sitting in.

"It's fine" Nicholas waves Cassy out of the room.

Taffy is staring at him. "So is this the reason that you rejected me. Is that b***h carrying your pup?"

"Winter is mated to Shane now. Thanks to you. What they do and have is their business. But know this Wilder and I will always protect Winter and Rieka. Leave my office." Nicholas points at the door.

Taffy looks at him for a few minutes before she storms out of his office. She's walking and talking to herself that she doesn't see Irving standing in the hall. She speeds out of the gate. "This isn't over with. It's time to go home. You call me a f*****g rogue. I'll show you, Winter, and Shane that damn Mate of hers just who the hell I am." She yells looking in her rearview mirror at the gate closing.

Back in Nicholas's office. "s**t, that b***h isn't going to give up. Not only do I have to make sure that Irving doesn't get his hands on my pup. I have a feeling that Taffy will do something even if one of the pups wasn't mine. Because of her hatred for Winter." He calls Cassy into his office. He commands her not to repeat to anyone about the Queen and King's pregnancy. Nicholas sheds the announcement.

Winter is meeting with Harper, Parker, Patrice, and Yolanda. She's thanking the ladies for securing her yesterday at the restaurant. "You all do need to know the details of what's going on. I can't and don't feel right that you're out of the loop." Winter leans back in her chair and starts from the beginning about her and Nicholas. She tells them everything except that one of the pups is Nicholas. She and Shane don't want anyone to know until Irving is dealt with. They're sure that once he discovers Winter's pregnancy he'll make a move. But Winter felt that she had to talk to her mother about it. She and Shane agreed that Pilar would be the only person that knew for now.

"Damn" Yolanda and Patrice yell, looking at Winter.

"Irving is one evil and greed son of a bitch." Parker mumbles

"Now I hate that we didn't kill him like my sister wanted to. He's going to be a problem" Harper cuts her eyes at Winter.

Winter is looking at Shane, Gage, and Bronson walking into her office."Yes and I'm sure that one day soon his a*s will be calling or knocking on the damn gate"

Shane walks over behind her desk and picks her up. He sits down with her in his lap. "Ace and Dimitri are looking into all of the members that work in the palace. I'm not saying that we have traitors. Better safe than sorry especially when it comes to Star Eyes and our pups. Maybe it was a coincidence about the mall incident." Shane rubs her belly

Gage looks at Patrice and Yolanda. "You two will stick with Parker and Harper when they go out with Winter."

"Okay, no problem" the two women nod, looking at Gage.

Shane tells the ladies about the warriors didn't have any luck replaceing the rogue location. Taffy left the parking lot and drove back to Morlack's territory.

While reading a report Harper burst out laughing and blurts out "Morlock replace that Chihuahua quick. His new Luna is Crystal Cahill. The s**t gets even better as Future Alpha listed his younger daughter Muffy"

"It seems that he was tired of his Chihuahua" Parker looks at Winter

"So he's forming a new pack. We should keep an eye on him " Winter looks at Harper and Parker "anything else?"

"Nope that's all." The twins are looking at Winter standing up with Shane's hand.

"We'll be in our wing" Winter looks around the room as she's walking.

Shane smiles walking behind her.

She leads him over to the sofa in their den. "Crystal Cahill. I have heard of her but that was years ago. She was a member of your mother's pack. I remember my father discussing her with Ethan one day when I was in his office. I thought that she was dead because Penelope was listed as the Luna. I wonder why?"

"That's interesting I have heard my mother speak a Crystal also. Damn, I don't remember her mentioning her name in years. I want to limit the members that are allowed in our wing for now." Shane kisses her arm.

Winter kisses his forehead. "No problem. I want to go with you when you locate this Stonewall jerk"

He narrows his eyes. "Manny is an arrogant bastard. As long as you stay by my side." Shane looks away.

Manny was one of the ones that killed Jackie. Shane is concerned that the same thing might happen to me. She felt it through his emotions. Winter wraps her arms around him. "McDreamy I promise not to leave your side when we face that a*****e. I'm sorry that you have to face the jerk that killed Jackie. Stop worrying. The same thing isn't going to happen to me. So you're not going to lose me. We have been through a lot to be together. I don't see that being our fate." Winter cups his chin and kisses him.

"I love you" he whispers on her lip

She licks his lip "I love you forever." She lays him back on the sofa. "I want to cuddle with my McDreamy"

Shane chuckles, kiss her head wrap his arms around her and rubs her belly.

Later that night Sabrina is sitting at her vanity and brushing her hair. She can't believe the way things have turned out. "Why did Irving have to make that damn deal with Morlock? Why does he hate Cooper Atkinson so much?" She's talking to herself. Sabrina glances at Irving through the mirror.

He's drying off and seems to have something on his mind. Irving slides on a pair of pajama pants. "Have Nick mentioned to you his plan about getting his mate back?"

She turns to look at him. "No. That is his business. Besides I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't say a word to me about it. My son wouldn't have to try to get his mate back if you would have kept your damn nose out of his business. In the end, you still lost. Shane still has the largest pack. Hell, now he has the royal pack and his pack." Sabrina is rubbing lotion on her arms.

Irving let out a low growl thinking about Shane and Cooper.

Sabrina smiles. "I'm just proud that the Moon Goddess thought so much of our son that she created Winter for him. I hope his Second Chance Mate is as strong, intelligent, and beautiful as Winter is." She walks to the bed.

"Everyone is allowed to make a mistake. Even me." He's laying down and fluffing his pillow.

"Too late now. I don't believe there is anything that you can say or do that'll change Nick's mind about you." Sabrina lays down and pulls the covers up."Let's just face it. Nicholas will never forgive you."

"Damn it" Irving closes his eyes. He's still thinking about Winter being mated to Shane. " Irving turns over and looks at Sabrina, thinking." I'm sure she wasn't talking about Kim being pregnant. s**t, her a*s has blocked our link. I knew your a*s was hiding something. I'll soon replace out what it is" He wraps his arms around her and kisses the back of her head. "I'm aching for you."

"Take your a*s to sleep. Until Nicholas forgives you, all of this is off-limits." She doesn't open her eyes.

Irving slides his hands off her and mumbles. "I can't believe this s**t"

"Oh believe it. Don't touch me again." Sabrina smirks.

He closes his eyes thinking about earlier today when Taffy stormed out of the house. He thought he heard her mumble something about a pup.
