Rejected by the Alpha

A New Beginning

*Nick's POV*

Mate? She wants to give me another chance? I was overjoyed, I walked up to her and lifted her chin up. She pulled away and took a step back. My wolf was yelling at me to hold her, to make her feel safe. I held back because I know that this is all new to her, that I needed to give her time to come to me. I sat down on our bed and patted the spot next to me. She sat down and waited for me to start talking.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"I don't know. It's like I am excited, nervous and many other things at the same time." Abby whispered as she stared at her feet.

"Is there anything you want to know, or do? All you have to do is ask, and I will do it." She looked up at me, her eyes looked so dull and absent of life. "We can go into the woods, go on a walk, we can even try to get your wolf to come out."

"Come out? You mean, I can change into my wolf?" She stared at me in amazement. For the first time in days, I saw life spark under her crystal blue eyes. I nodded and I could have swore that she was going to jump up and down like a child.

"Lets grab some extra clothes and go into the woods. We will have more space out there, and afterwards we can go on a run."

"Ok." she got up and went to her drawer and grabbed some shorts and a tank top. "Lets go."

We walked down the stairs and out the front door. I get to be here for her first shift since the accident. Like I should have been when she shifted the for the very first time. I was saddened by the painful memories for a split second. I needed to concentrate on the new memories, not the old ones.

"Ok, now she should come out on her own, but you need to let her know you control her. Just relax and imagine yourself become the wolf. picture her in your head, she should tell you what she looks like so that way it is easier to see her." Abby closed her eyes. She smiled slightly before shifting into a large, white wolf with black tipped ears. That wasn't her wolf. No, that is not the beautiful wolf I saw in the field. Abby opened her eyes and they were pitch black with a touch of red hidden deep within.

Abby looked over at me and growled. I started backing up and hit a tree. Abby started pacing back and forth, snarling at me. She was going to attack. I tried to shift but I couldn't, I started panicking. She launched at me, going for my throat...

————————————————————————————————-

I bolted up from my dream. I was covered in sweat and panting. My breath was ragged as I tried to get up. Abby was no where to be seen, I started panicking and then I saw the bathroom light. I sighed in relief as I got out of the bed, I walked to the bathroom door and knocked.

"I am in here." Abby shouted over the water. She must be taking a shower, I sighed in relief again, knowing that it was all a dream.

"Ok." I shouted back. I got out of my sweaty clothes and changed into a pair of boxers and a loose fitting shirt. I didn't even remember falling asleep, what was real? Did Abby want to be my mate? Or was that a dream too? Ill ask tomorrow. For now, I need my sleep.

*Abby's POV*

I let the hot water run down my back, it felt good to take a nice, hot shower. Nick went back to sleep I am guessing. He seemed worried, but relieved at the same time. Is he always like this? Is this protective Alpha the mate I want? I was so confused at times. I want to believe him and trust him, but then again, something keeps holding me back. I turned the shower off and got out, I wrapped my towel around my body and opened the bathroom door. Nick was asleep, I walked out and got dressed. I climed into bed and distanced myself somewhat from Nick. He may be my mate, but I have a feeling there is a reason why I can't remember him.

Natasha? Are you there? I asked my wolf.

I am, what can I do you for? She replied.

Why can't I remember Nick, or, what is his name, Lance? Did something happen that made me want to forget them?

You aren't trying to forget Lance, I just don't remember anythin past the time you met Nick. After he rejected you, you ran away. Lance took us in and accepted us for who we are, not who he thought we should be.

Does he love us? And his wolf, what is he like?

He loves us more than he wants to let on. When I was ripped from your body after your heart stopped, I saw everyone's inner wolf. Lance looked like he was worse than everyone. Nick was devistated, but greatful in a way. He was glad that all you pain was gone, but torn up because he doesn't want to live without you. Lance actually confessed his love for you, but both of you agreed that he should wait until he finds his mate. And he did find his mate...

Who is it?

Us.

I woke up in someones arms. I started to panic, then I remembered who it was. I rolled over to find Nick starring at me.

"Good morning." Nick said with a small smile.

"Good morning." I replied

"You are looking very beutiful this morning." I blushed and looked away, how am I going to tell him that Lance is my mate? How am I going to tell Lance?
