Winter Rejected By One Alpha Love By Another One
Chapter 35

Taffy was lying on the cot crying. She had a feeling that Winter was carrying Nicholas's pup, but to hear those words come out of Winter's mouth hurt like hell. She had always dreamed of being mated to Nicholas and having his pup. Even if she didn't want to take care of one. "Damn it that b***h. She was right. I knew if I gave Nick a pup he wouldn't leave me. Maybe he would have started sleeping in the same bed with me." She yells. "Get real no one but a crazy person would want to share a bed with you. The night that you caused pain to my Star Eyes I wanted to kill you. Hell, I still do. Tell me where Manny is." Shane opens the cell door.

Gage, Ace, and Bronson are standing in front of the cell looking at her.

Shane walks closer to her. I can't kill you because my beautiful mate wants the pleasure of that task. But I can cause you so much f*****g pain that you'll wish you were dead." He grabs her neck. "Delray in the Grand Kettle area. That's all I know." She manages to get out between the tears and gasping for air.

Shane drops her to the floor. "You'll see my face again if you're lying to me. Believe me, that is something that you don't want." He walks out of the cell. "Because of the s**t you did and tried to do to Star Eyes, there will be no food or water given to you. Nobody hurts what's mine and thinks they can have any kind of damn privilege."

"Wait, I can't survive without food and water." Taffy mumbles while she's catching her breath

Shane chuckles "I know. Now ask me, do I give a f**k. If you have one ounce of sense you should already know the answer to that." He walked out of the dungeon. Taffy burst out crying.

Ace, Bronson, and Gage laugh.

"That is one dumb a*s duck. After all the s**t she has done. She thought that she could get away with it without any consequences." Ace locks the Dungeon door. "Shane, did you believe her?" Gage looked at him

"We'll check it out. For her sake, her a*s better be telling me the truth. If not, I'll rip her a*s apart. I keep seeing Winter in pain that night. Damn it." Shane clenches his fist and walks inside the palace.

Cooper and Clayton are in the hallway waiting on him. He had told his father about King Kristoff. Shane has still been trying to remember where he knew Kristoff from.

Clayton gives Shane time to be standing in front of him. "Your father told me about Kristoff. The ocean, he would come to the ocean but he stopped when Winter stop coming there. The only time he would hang around there was whenever she visits. He has never found his mate."

Shane nods his head listening to his uncle. "That son of a b***h. Now that you said that I remember how the waves were always stronger when she and I would be there. She said that she felt something touching her butt several times. But when I went under the water, I didn't see anything or anyone. But we would hear a big splash a few seconds later every time that would get our attention. That perverted bastard." He lets out a growl

Bronson shakes his head "We might be going fishing soon."

"Hell yes, a large a*s perverted fish," Shane yells looking at Winter walking his way with a meatball sub in her hand. He smiles and calms down as he's looking at her chewing. He holds his arms up for her. Winter walks into his arms. She's still eating her sandwich. "Did you leave any for us?" Gage looks at her sub

"Nope. But Patrice is making you one. McDreamy, do you want some of your sandwiches?" She holds the sub up."

Shane chuckles "No baby you eat it. I'm not hungry right now. Did you get everything taken care of at your company?' He licks the marinara sauce off of her mouth.

"Yes, since Aurora is moving here. I would love to talk with her about a merger. Her hotel with my restaurants would be great together." Winter bites her sandwich again.

*****

The couple returns home after staying a few days in the city. The man realizes that someone has been in the house. Then the woman sees the envelope on the coffee table. She picks it up "Honey come here." She opens it

The man walks into the room, he sees his mate reading the letter with her mouth opened. "Who is it from?" He walks over to her

"The Queen." She's still reading it

"He laughs "Yeah right. The Queen of who"

"Of all werewolves. I'm serious it's from Queen Winter." She hands him the letter.

He reads it "s**t, s**t, s**t, this can't be good. What does she want with us? We're not bothering her or anyone else." He's pacing and rubbing his hair back then he reads the letter again. "No way in hell are we going there for her to lock us up."

"Dear if we don' go she'll only send someone here for us. We have pups so we can't run." She walks over to him and points at a paragraph in the letter. "Look it says right here that she only wants to talk with us. That we are free to leave at any time. Deep down I have a feeling that we can trust her." After about five minutes he agrees to go to the palace. He still has mixed thoughts about it. But he's more concerned about the reason she wants to talks with them. He's already thinking of a way to make sure that his mate and pups make it out of the palace just in case Winter goes back on her word.

Manny is looking around the yard at five hundred men. He is beyond mad since he didn't get Sabrina or Irving in his hands. "The Queen and King have my mate your Luna and future leader. We can't have that." "Attack" all the men are yelling

An evil grin comes on Manny's face thinking "My thoughts exactly. But not until after we kill that a*****e, Joe. He will pay with his a*s for taking my money then abandoned Heschel and the other to die by the hands of that damn Nicholas Forrester." Mardon shakes his head at his father, thinking. I can't believe how he has tricked not only me but the men into believing that Shane and Nicholas are the evil ones. Nicholas killed my brother because that damn a's aunt sent him after Nicholas. That was self- defense. The only thing Shane is guilty of was to accept the mate that the Moon goddess designed for him. Winter hasn't done anything but rejected by Nicholas and being loved by Shane." He is brought out of his thoughts when Manny pats his shoulder. Manny leans over to him "Soon we'll not only have Nicholas's pack but also the palace."

"If I'm not mistaken all the men that you sent to the palace and to Nicholas's pack is dead. "Mardon leans over to his father.

"Yes, but those were only minor casualties. This is giving me a feel for the big battles. Why in the hell haven't I heard from Rusty's a*s?" Manny is walking toward the house.

"All of these men are getting killed over nonsense. Where in the hell are my aunt and her family? None is this will turn out right" Mardon looks over at his pregnant mate, thinking "I have to better a man and mate for Elle and our pup. I can't end up bitter like my father." Manny walks inside the house and laughs "After I have taken over the palace, I'll force Reese to be my personal butler. That is until I'm tired of his a*s. He has always been so full of himself. But one damn thing for sure Shane, Winter, and Nicholas asses will be dead."

Kristoff is at his pack. He's looking at his men train. He yells at any man that messes up or if he feels that a warrior is moving too slow. He would start cursing at the man. All of them are just about fed up with his attitude when rogues run out of the woods. They have already killed the guards that he had at the border.

"Damn it. Kill those mutherfuckers" Kristoff yells as he shifts into Poseidon. He snatches a dark brown wolf by his neck and bites into it then he throws him to the ground. He's looking at his warriors fighting the rogues when a tan wolf growl at him and jumps at him Poseidon jumps in the air and catches the wolf in his chest. He lands on top of the wolf and rips him to pieces.

After the battle Lewis walks over to Kristoff. You seem to have cursed us. We haven't been attacked by rogues in years. We left two alive. Bass said that they were sent by Manuel Stonewall to take over our territory. I told him to kill the assholes."

"Those fools do they not know who in the hell they are dealing with?" Kristoff yells looking at Bass killing the two rogues. "They have put a wrench in my damn plan. I can't leave now. There is no way in hell I can leave my territory to be protective by that damn King or anyone else. When I get my hands on Manuel f*****g Stonewall he's going to regret the day his pea brain thought about taking my territory."

"Sir the Stonewalls are the family that is in war with the Queen, King, and Alpha Nicholas." Lewis is looking at Bass and another man carrying the two lifeless bodies away.

Kristoff turns to look at him. "Tell me more about these damn Stonewalls."

Lewis tells him everything that he has heard about Shane, Nicholas, and the Stonewalls feud. He heard that Manny's plan is to kill Winter also.

Hearing this makes Kristoff furious. "No damn body will harm Winter. I don't give a f**k about those two arrogant assholes. But when it comes to Winter that is a different damn story. s**t, it seems that my plans to kill that mate of hers are on hold. One war at a time."

At the palace, Cooper slams the phone down. "His a*s is just like his damn son. Now I see where in the hell those assholes get their damn brain from." He looks at Ariel "Do you know what that bastard had the damn nerves to say to me. He wants to see my son dead. Because Shane took the love of Manny's life away from him. I told that son of a b***h that when Jackie and Shane discovered they were mates Shane didn't want to be her mate. But since the Moon Goddess design her for him when Jackie came to him to accept him that is the only reason that he accepted her. All of this s**t is because of Manny's ego. I always thought that Nesib had some damn sense."

Ariel shakes her head in disbelief. She has always thought of Nesib as being a sensible man. she's wondering why have he hanged so much. That doesn't sound like the man that she knew. She walks over to her mate and wraps her arms around him, hoping that he'll calm down.

Cooper leans back and looks at her. "Nesib said that he and Malanie are coming back in a few weeks. If his a*s is standing beside his son in this war. It will be my pleasure to take his damn head."

"Yes dear, I agree. Something doesn't sound right to me" She's thinking.

Clayton and Ciara walk into the room. Clayton looks at his brother "What has you in such an uproar?"

"That damn Nesib Stonewall". He's all for this damn war between us and his damn family Cooper yells

"Oh well, I guess since his sons took all of his and Melanies's money they have to do what they are told. If not they will be cut off." Ciara sits down looking at nods her head.

Everyone in the room looks at her.

"Ciara, honey where did you hear that from?" Clayton is looking at her confused.

"Melanie called me several months back. She let it slip out. Then she told me everything. So if she and Nesib don't do what their sons tell them they would be out on the street. So for now they are playing along with it until they replace a way to get control back of their finances." Ciara looks around the room at the three of them.

"That is ridiculous that a child could treat their parents like that." Ariel is looking at Shane and Winter walking into the room with her parents behind them.

Shane notices that his father is angry about something. He mind-links about it. Cooper tells him that he'll meet with him tomorrow regarding it. Shane reluctantly agrees before he breaks their link.

"Tell me is this family gathering about our grandpups?" Ariel rubs Winter's swollen belly.

"Yes, is it. You all probably should sit down" Winter takes a deep breath and looks at Shane. He kisses her cheeks and winks at her. "Girls, the twins are girls" Shane leans down and kisses her belly.

"I knew it" Ciara yells and hugs the couple.

Now everyone is hugging the couple and congratulations them.

"Wait, why would Winter tell us to sit down when this is wonderful news?" Clayton stands by looking at Shane. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with the pups?'

"No they both are healthy. But Star Eyes pregnancy is rare." Shane wraps his arms around her. "It seems that one of the pups is mine and the other one is Nicholas"

"What?" His parents and uncle yell looking at Winter's belly.

"It's called heteropaternal Superfecundation pregnancy. So, Nicholas will be here for all appointments and the birth of our daughters. We're going to co-parent." Winter looks at Ariel, cooper, Clayton, and Ciara then at her parents.

Pilar and Reese hug Winter. "Everything will be fine."

Copper is looking at Shane concerned. "Son are you sure that you're okay with this?' He waves his arms at Winter.

Shane steps in front of Winter "This isn't what we had planned. Nor is it my mate's fault. Yes, I'm fine with this. If I wasn't I would have rejected Star Eyes when she asked me to the day we discovered our situation. But as far as I'm concerned both of the pups are mine and Optimus because they are a part of Winter. Nicholas and Wilder feel the same way." Shane looks at his father and mother. "I hope you two are happy for us and to treat both of our pups the same. If not then we will have a serious problem. I do mean serious."

"Son we would never mistreat our grandpups. This is just new to us." Ariel looks at him

Cooper walks over to Winter. "I didn't mean anything by what I said. Like my mate said this is new to us. But believe me when I say that we're looking forward to spending time with our grandpups."

Winter doesn't look at him, she turns to look at her parents. "I'm a little tired, I believe I'll call it a night" She walks out of the room.

Shane looks at his father. "You and I will be discussing this in the morning. Right now I'm going to calm my mate down before she and Rieka kill someone." He walks behind Winter and picks her up "Don't let my father or anyone else get to you. I felt that you and Rieka wanted to rip his head off. Thank you for not killing my father." He kisses her forehead

Winter lays her head against his chest. "Cooper has a right to his opinion. I didn't care for the tone that he used with me. Yes, I thought about killing him. Is not as if I chose to get pregnant by you and Nicholas at the same time. Nor do I regret our pups." Shane walks into their bedroom and sits on the bed with her still in his arms." Neither do I. I will never regret our pups or us. You and our pups are my life. So, no stressing. I love you, Star Eyes."

"I love you too McDreamy." She stands up looks at him and unties both of her dress straps and lets her dress fall to the floor.

He's looking at her naked body "Star Eyes where are your panties? Not that I'm complaining. Believe me, I'm enjoying the view." Shane pulls her closer to him and rubs her between her thighs when his phone rings. "s**t, this had better be good," he mumbles. "My love, after you have answered your phone join me in the shower," She rubs her hands over her body. "It's all yours" She winks and walks into the bathroom.

"All mine" he mumbles while putting the phone up to his ear. Shane is looking at her and walking into the bathroom.

"Phone conversation"

Shane: What?

Gage: King Kristoff called he was attacked by rogues

Shane: Yea right that bastard is probably crying wolf.

Gage: (Laughs) He said that he wants to talk with you about

Shane: Tell him tomorrow. Right now Star Eyes needs me more

"End of all"

He strips as he's walking to the bathroom and steps into the shower with Winter. Her back is turned to him. Shane rugs his hand over her back then to her baby bump, moving down to her sweet spot. He slides two fingers inside her core, pumping in and out. Winter leans back on him moaning until she comes. She kisses the top of her head and leans her forwards, pushing his hard c**k inside her thrusting her in and out, faster and harder. Winter and Shane are moaning and calling each other names and breathing hard. He lays his head on her back and thrusts her harder as they come. Shane kisses her back as they are coming down from their high.
