Mates with Alpha Dylan

Chapter 21

Dylan's POV

She rejected me.

She actually rejected me.

That's about the only thing that's going through my mind. Beau packs a punch though because that shit still hurts. I'm surprised my jaw's still intact. This is the first time in a long time that I've actually sat down and thought about everything that I've done. And can I just say, I'm fucking stupid.

Sam's the one I'm destined to be with, yet I chose to be with Tiffany. Sam's the one that's supposed to love me forever, yet I chose to make love with someone else. Sam's the one that's supposed to go nuts with pack work and then relax with me, yet I chose to relax all day. My life changed for the better when she got here, yet I chose to deliberately fuck it up.

Everything is just now starting to hit me.

There is no "us."

We're both Alpha's, but we're not a couple.

When she smiles, it's not because of me.

When she cries, it's because of me.

She'll forgive me, because her heart is that big, but she'll never take me back now.

I marked Tiffany in the heat of the moment, and I'm stuck with her.

Aden, who was her mate, didn't want her.

He rejected her because she slept with the entire male population at school.

And I mean the ENTIRE male population.

She didn't care, and now I have to be with her.

The only way for my mark to disappear is if Aden marks her over mine, but we all know that's not going to happen.

I fucked up, and this time it can't be fixed.

What hurts me the most is the fact that I disappointed my dad. He's worked so hard and I just messed everything up. I haven't been an Alpha to my pack at all since I've started with Tiffany, and I regret it so much. I wish I could go back in time and change everything. My mom hasn't spoken to me and that pains me so much. We had the best relationship, she was my best friend.

Keyword, was.

She can't stand to look at me let alone talk. My dad spoke his mind today and that was the first time that he was completely blunt with me. He swore. That's how I know that the line had been crossed. Everyone wants to know what has gotten into me, but I myself don't even know the answer to that. All I know is that I need to check up on Sam.

I decided that I'm going to get my head out of my ass and start being the Alpha that my pack needs. I marked Tiffany, but I'm done with her now. My pack and Sam are the main priorities from now on. I walked out of the office and made my way towards her room.

Let's see how this goes.

Sam's POV

Beau and the guys have been in here all afternoon going on and on about how proud they are of me. They didn't like Dylan since the first encounter and now they loathe him entirely. Speaking of Beau, I heard his confession and that was the cutest thing in the world.

And his voice?

Lord have mercy.

I'm waiting for the right time to tell him that I feel the same way. Since I was waiting for my mate I pushed those feelings aside, but now that I rejected Dylan, which still feels great by the way, they've actually gotten stronger. Lenny described everything Beau said to Dylan in full detail and it made my heart swell.

We were in the middle of a memory game, don't ask why or how we got on that topic, when my door opened up and in walked Dylan. The guys immediately got serious and stood in front of me.

"Sam can I talk to you please?" He asked, as he took a step forward which caused deep growls to emit from the guys's chests.

I told him, "there's not much to talk about Dylan. I've said everything that I had to say," and that was nothing but the truth.

He sighed heavily and said, "it won't be long. Please?"

I was about to respond when both Malcolm and Alex simultaneously said, "she said no!"

And then he snapped, "I wasn't talking to any of you idiots. Now shut the hell up and get the fuck out!"

No he did not.

"And just who the hell do you think you are to insult my guys and talk to them like that!? You want to talk to me yet you stand there and act like an asshole!" I'm fucking livid. Nobody talks to them like that, "Alpha" or not. Yes they're idiots but only I get to call them that.

"Guys step outside, now." They nodded at me and made their way to the door. They know that I'm pissed and they know that I'm about two seconds away from blowing up.
Beau stopped at the doorway and said, "we'll be right out here," to which I just nodded.

"Why do you care about them so much?"

Lord, give me patience.

"Why do I care about them so much!? I don't know, maybe because when someone saves your life you show them as much love and gratitude as you can! Beau and the rest of MY boys saved me from the path of destruction that I was going to lead myself down. I'd be dead if it weren't for them. They took me in and cared for me. They still care for me and I know in my heart that they always will. They would never intentionally hurt me, unlike you. That's why I care about them so damn much! And I wouldn't change a thing."

His shoulders slumped and he said, "Look I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm sorry for not being the proper Alpha that I should've been. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm just sorry, so very sorry!"

"Just to make this perfectly clear, I already forgave you because like I've said before I'm not going to let you hold that power over me and I accept your apology, but if you think that we're going to be a thing, then you're terribly mistaken. There's a line that you just don't cross, but you did and I had to do what was best for me. James said that I'm still Luna and you and I will have to work together but I hope you can be a civil grown up so that can work, and if you want a majority rule then you can let your father know. We all know who would win though. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see my pups."

I walked to the door and when I opened it, my seven idiots fell into a heap, one on top of the other. Yup, these are MY idiots. I just laughed and helped them up. Before I walked out I turned and told Dylan, "I hope that with time, we can at least become friends, because I don't know about you but I'm tired of the arguing. Just remember one thing, I hate what you've done to me, but I don't hate you."

And I truly meant that.
