Rejected by the Alpha

Training Starts... Now

*Abby's POV* 

I have been here for eight months now. I traded in my fat, old self, for a skinny, new me. I was staring into the mirror looking me up and down. My hair got fuller and had bouncy curls that cascaded down my back. My blue eyes are now a crystal blue with a tint of purple. My body got fuller, I now had huge boobs and a tight, well worked, stomach. I also had a slight tan, I put on a slight amount of mascara and eyeliner as I walked down to training. Mellisa, Ryan's mate, was eating breakfast and I sat down with her to enjoy the meal. 

"Hey, how are you feeling today?" Mellisa asked. 

"I am fine, Lance stayed with me again last night, I keep having those dreams." For the past few weeks I had been dreaming of Nick. He was with another girl and he said mate over and over again before he would charge at me and start beating me.

"I am so sorry. Remind me that if I ever see him, to kill him." I laughed with her as we placed our bowls in the sink. We walked out side and began training, I beat every single apponent Lance puts me up against. After I beat all my apponents, Lance squares up with me. We circled each other, waiting for the other to strike. I have not been teamed up with Lance before and I didn't know his moves. Lance striked out at me and I jumped out of reach and punched him. after two or so minutes, I had him pinned under me. 

"Off." Lance comanded me, I shook my head no. "Now." I laughed and shook my head again. He pushed up on me and flipped us over. His lips reached mine and I kissed him back. Lance asked me out five months ago, I always teased him and he always got me back for it. I pushed him off and got up.

"Lets go for a run." I sugested and everyone went crazy. I took off and shifted, eveyone followed suit. Lance raced beside me, Mellisa and Ryan right behind us. Kate, Liza, Brent, and Saun were not far behind. We ran for hours on end and only stopped when Lance said he has a meetin to attend. He looked lie something was wrong, but I couldn't ask. Being his Beta, I went to the meeting with him. Three Alphas sttod by our door, I bowed before stepping behind a bush to shift and change. 

I walked back to them and we preceded inside to Lance's office.I sttod next to Lance with my hands in front of me, respecting the Alphas there. I looked at each of them and they all looked battle worn. They had bags under their eyes and a couple of scars in various places on their arms and face. Of the three of them only one had a mate, the other two's marks were fading. They lost their mates last week. I gasped and the Alphas nodded their heads.

"There is a great war amongst our packs. We came to you because we need help. Our mates, women, and children are being killed left and right and we can't do anything. Will you please help us?" The Alpha with a mate asked. I felt sorry for him, he could lose his mate at any moment and he stands here asking for help.

"When do we leave and how soon?" Lance asked.

"The pack house you are going to is the Black Lake Pack. You will leave in an hour." My head started spinning and i gripped the table. Anywhere but there. Please, I can't go back.

*Nick's POV*

I mostly stayed in my room after Abby left. My wolf only talked to me when he was telling me how stupid I am or that Alphas wanted to speak with me. Everyday for eight long months, I hunted for my mate, Lakelyn tried to approch me several times, but I turned her down. I only wanted to be conforted by my mate.

"Alpha Nick, we have word that the Crimpson Red Pack will be here in about four hours." George said, I nodded and got in the shower. I got out and got dressed, I walked outside to tell the rest of the pack that we had help on the way. After I told them I went back inside and waited for the two hours that it would take for the other pack to get here. I heard a car door slam as I jumped from my seat. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep, I got up and went to the front yard. The Alpha stepped out of the car first, then went to open the door for a girl. 

Just then the most beautiful scent hit me, lilly's and rose's. My wolf shouted mate and my heart skipped a beat when I layed eyes on her. They started walking toward me Alpha Lance was standing really close to Abby. I told them I would lead them to their rooms. They walked in front of me and Lance placed a hand on Abby's lower back, I tried not to growl. I will deal with you in a moment. I showed Lance and his pack where they are sleeping, all thats left is taking Abby to her room. She opened her door and I followed her inside.

*Abby's POV*

My door closed and I was then shoved against the wall.

"Mine." Nick growled into my neck. I pushed him away but he came right back. "You are mine, no one elses. No male is allowed to lay a hand on you."

"No. No, you had your chance Nick. You rejected me, I moved on." My wolf yelled at me but I ignored her. This is Nick, the person who would beat me in the hallways at school and the one who rejected me as his mate. Nick stepped back with pain in his eyes, my wolf was screaming for me to go to him. "Leave."

"What-" 

"Leave!" I shouted. He looked taken aback and slowly made his way to my door. After he left, I slid to the floor and cried. What kind of sick joke is this? He doesn't love me, he never did. I heard a soft nock and Lance walked in. He saw me crying and ran over to hold me, I sobbed into his shoulder. He didn't say anything, just held me while I cried.

******************************

After dinner, Lance came into my room and layed down with me on the bed. I refused to go down for dinner, so Lance brought me some food to my room. I ate only a little, I had just recently gotten my appitite back. Something about being here made me not want to eat, like I was be forced by an invisible force to not eat. Lance noticed my eating habits came back and begged for me to eat.

"Baby, you have to eat. You can't go back to the way you were." All I did was shake my head and Lance gave up.

"Why does everyone hate me?" I whispered.

"Not everyone hates you, you have your pack."

"I know, but everyone here hates me. I use to be loved, but when my parents died everyone turned on me." A tear fell down my cheek and Lance wiped it away. He tilted me face up to his and he kissed me. It was a soft kiss, no hunger, no need, just love.

"When I agreed to come help this pack, I made a promise to you. Do you remember my promise?"

"You would always protect me and nothing would ever happen to me." I whispered.

"I will keep that promise, if you need me just call. I wont let anyone cause you pain." I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. "I love you, baby."

"I love you too." Just then we heard a growl come from the door way. My wolf was praticaly jumping up and down. There standing in the doorway is  Nick. Red laced through his eyes when he looked at us. Lance put a protective arm around me, winning us another growl. Nick took a step forward and I could tell he was about to shift.

"No!" I shouted at him. He looked at me and pain filled his eyes. "Leave Lance alone! He was there when you weren't, Lance never rejected me when he looked at me. You left me in the woods alone while I was shifting for the first time. A mate is supposed to help their mate get through their first shift, and all I got on my birthday was a rejection from my mate and a painful reminder that you would never be there." By the end I was whispering. "When I found out you were my mate, I was shocked. I realized that everything was going to work out and be perfect. When you rejected me, it hurt more than any beating you, or anyone else, gave me.My heart was tearing up at every word you said."

Nick was now backed up against the wall. A single tear fell down his face. My wolf wanted to go to him and comfort him, but I wouldn't allow it. Lance was holding me and I realized I was crying as well.

"Abby, when I rejected you I emediatly felt my life slip from my hands-" Nick started, but I cut him off.

"No. You wanted to protect your ego and went off to start sucking faces with Lakelyn. You didn't show any resentment when you rejected me in the middle of the hall with the school watching. All you have done since my parents died is treat me like shit. I never wanted my parents to die, I was just as torn up as everyone else. Do you know how messed up I was when I watched my parents die right in front of me? I couldn't do anything to save them. But instead of looking past me and seeing my parents, you only saw a new punching bag. Now, get out. I don't want to see you anymore."
