Rejected by one Alpha, Loved by another

Chapter 84: What happened

Kai's POV

For the last few weeks, I have been travelling down to the UCLA campus to meet Millie after her lessons.
She passed all of her exams at the end of last semester and the more I get to know her the better I feel.
She was hesitant to get to know me at first before I showed up here and took her for breakfast after her morning practice.

I also found out that she has a good trust fund but she doesn't use it, she prefers to work at the local diner on evenings and weekends and I respect a woman who doesn't want to rely on her family for money.

My phone rings in my pocket as I'm walking towards Millie's practice.
"Rhodes," I say into the phone. I don't usually answer like this but when one of the office's phones for something then I do.

"Good morning Mr Rhodes it's Hallie"
Hallie is my soon-to-be-fired secretary. Don't get me wrong I'm sure she does a brilliant job of her actual work but all I see is her trying to flirt and get in my pants at work.
"Yes?" I say as I come to a stop.
"Mr Rhodes, there's a meeting at 4 o'clock today with Blues Resort."

"Can you reschedule?" I ask her. I plan to take Millie out tonight with it being the weekend and she hasn't got work this weekend. That might also be my fault.
Sorry not sorry is the saying right?

"Unfortunately not. I have rescheduled this meeting once before and they have said that if you don't attend tonight then they will find someone else"

"I'm the one investing in them...the fucking nerve of that" I mutter into the phone.
I don't want to cancel on Millie so I guess I will have to take her to my office and then see how she feels about having dinner at my penthouse instead of at the pack grounds.
I only bought the penthouse so that when I have been at work and I can't get home until later in the night I could crash there but since I have people who run the show without me, I spend a lot of time at the pack house rather than out and about at the hotels or restaurants.

"Right. Fine, I will show" I say and then hang up. I try to keep my conversations with that woman to a minimum. Mainly so she understands that I don't want anything remotely close to a relationship or Sexual relationship with her.

Walking into the rink I spot my girl straight away. She's a solo skater but has also been helping out another skater who wants that extra training.
"Charlotte, you have to keep your balance when doing that" the coach shouts over her music.
The song sounds familiar but I prefer to zone it out and watch as Millie glides on the ice.

"When the beat drops, you drop too! You need to get a footing on your Axel or you're going to fall over, or try and remember to do your Biellmann spin! If you can do your spins and jumps then you've smashed it" the coach says again.

I watch for another 30 minutes as Millie jumps, glides, spins and ducks on the ice all the while she is training her partner to do it too and in the end, I watch as they both do it in synchrony with each other.

She spots me from the ice and goes to her things bringing them back over to me.
"Hey," she says as she gets out of her skates and puts her Converse shoes on.

"Hey beautiful," I say and grab hold of her things. It's at this moment that a bunch of girls head our way.
"Hey Moo"
I remember her from a few weeks ago when she tried to claim Millie as a friend. I've met one of her friends, Natalia who lives with her now and I have never heard of her mention this girl before.

When Millie doesn't say anything one of the girls laughs and mutters something under her breath. She isn't aware that we can hear everything she says.
"Why would someone that hot want to be with that stupid bitch. She's too fucking frigid" she says which has everyone laughing.
I place Millie's bags down on the bench and head in their general direction.
"Ladies" I say which earns me some giggling as if they think I would leave Millie and go to them.
Fuck, I don't even go here. I can't stand to be around mean girls.

"Hey, handsome," one of them says.
"You got a problem with my girl?" I ask and they are all quick to decline.
"Of course not. We're all good friends right Moo?"

"It's Millie. And the next time you want to call someone a stupid bitch or frigid make sure you check your next medical records for any diseases" I say and walk off. Fuck I hate them. I grab Millie's hand and pull her out of the rink all the while her mouth hangs open in disbelief.

"Kai...Kai slow down!"

"Sorry. You okay?" I ask her and she smiles up at me. She's about 5 foot 5 maybe 6 and I'm 6 foot 4 so I tower over her quite easily.
"What happened in there? You didn't need to go and talk to them" she says as she lowers her head.
"Sweetheart...I won't have anyone disrespecting you. Especially not a bunch of fucking mean girls."

"I- thank you! I really don't like that girl" she says as she shuffles about on her feet.
"Anyway, I had a nice evening planned but I've been called back into the city for a 4 o'clock meeting. You're coming with me" I say not giving her time to drop out or change plans. It's been 3 weeks since I met her.

3 weeks of wanting to kiss her.
Hold her.
Claim her as my own.

"Okay," she says and walks off a little bit. She drove herself here so I loaded her bags into the car and opened her front door.
"I'll pick you up at 3:30," I tell her.
"It's okay. What's the place called I'll drive there?"
After firing off the hotel name I get into my own car with a grin on my face and call my brother.

"What's up man"
"I've got a date with Millie tonight. I mean she's coming to the offices but then I'm going to order food so can you oversee any issues for tonight? I'll be home tomorrow morning as we have the Christmas pack party" I explain.
My brother is great and I can rely on him to do anything I need him to do, besides, I rarely ask him to do anything in the pack grounds so for me to ask he must know it's important to me.

"Of course. Honestly, though, I think Mom is too excited to meet her man"
"Of course she is. I'm her favourite" I say which gets me a scoff through the phone.
"Pft. Piss off. I'll speak to you tomorrow" he says and hangs up.
