Rejected at First Sight

Chapter 5

After training was done, I could hear the pack groan in relief. I knew they would be exhausted. I couldn't help but smile. When I lived here I had no idea that we were so weak. Now that I had been with Ash and his pack I could see that this pack was very weak. No wonder rogues decided to pick on this pack. I sighed waiting for Ash and Dean to come and get me and Mimi. Mimi looked at me. "What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing I'm just thinking about when I was here. I never realized how weak this pack was until I left." She nodded. We sat in silence for the next 5 minutes waiting for our mates to finish talking to Viktor.

Ash and Dean came up the hill looking very angry. Oh boy. "Come on babe." Ash said swiftly. I didn't pry. I knew he would tell me later. Mimi and Dean were walking behind us. We got to our car Ash and I got into the front seats and Dean and Mimi got into the back seats. Ash let out a frustrated groan. "What the hell is wrong with him?" I looked at him in confusion. "What did Viktor do this time?" "He said to my face and your brother's that he plans on getting you back whether your having my pup or not." "Oh lord, Hon you know I'm not going fall for him. He lost his chance when he rejected me. I'm yours and yours only." He smiled at me. I looked in the rear view mirror and he looked relieved too. Did he actually think that I would go back to him?

We got to the pack house and Dean and Mimi went to his room. I didn't really want to think about what they were going to do. Ash gave me a knowing look and I just shuddered. He laughed at me. I played punched him in the shoulder. "Shut up meany." He laughed again and pulled me into a hug. I inhaled his scent. It was so comforting. I loved his smell. We stayed in each other arms for quite awhile. I could stay there my entire life. "So have you thought of any names for our baby?" "Yup, since I know it's going to be a girl, I want to name her Shannon Kay." "Shannon Kay?" "Ya, dad was talking about family names the other day and Shannon was one of them and I loved it and Kay is after my grandmother." "Huh, well what if it's a boy?" "Well if it's a boy, Alexander Michael, and then we can call Xander for short." "Well baby, I like them." "That's good cause I wasn't going to change my mind." I smiled up at him. His eyes glittered,"Oh, really?!" I could feel his hands move to my sides. "Don't you dare!" He laughed and he started to pick me up. I squealed and squirmed to get out of his hold, knowing if I didn't he would throw me on the bed a tickle me to death. "Nice try, but I'm stronger." I tried harder, but like he said he was stronger. "No!"

We got to the hallway with me screaming "no". Ash was laughing and I knew he enjoyed every minute of this. I was happy that I could play like this with my mate. We barely got to our door before I was knocked out of his arms and onto the floor. I heard Ash give a furious growl. I look up and see Viktor. "What the hell are you doing to her?", he roared. I could tell Ash was trying to control his wolf. He pushed Viktor into the wall and yelled at him. "Don't you dare try something like that again! It's none of your business what I'm doing to her! She is my mate, MINE!" "She was screaming no!" I got up, I grunted when I did. That got Ash's attention. I get in between them. I look directly at Viktor with rage in my eyes. "Viktor, Ash would never hurt me! He was tickling me for God's sake! He is my mate! A mate who has never hurt me and has always put me first! He is my true mate! I love him! When I said leave me alone I meant it! There is no way in Hell I'll ever go back to you! Now I'll tell you one last time, Leave me the hell ALONE!" With that I got into my room and slammed the door.

Ash soon came into the room and I looked at him. I could feel my eyes start to water. "I'm sorry. If it wasn't for me, you would've had to do that." He came over to me, he picked me up and laid us both on the bed with me in his lap. "Baby, it's not your fault. He hasn't learned that your mine and he will soon learn that messing with a Darkwood is the worst possible thing imaginable." I laughed. "Boy, do you got that right." He wiped away my tears with his thumb and kissed my nose. I giggled. "I love you Ash, so much. I don't know what I would've done had I never found you. Viktor completely broke me and you made whole again." He hugged me tightly. "I love you too Jocie. Our little family has brought so much happiness to me, I can't thank you enough for literally running in my life." I smiled and looked up at him. He looked into my eyes and brought his lips to mine. When our lips met I felt sparks everywhere. Being pregnant made everything even worse. I was more happy or more sad or even more irritated. But when Ash kissed me like this I need him more than before. He could feel my need for him and we proved to each other how much we loved each other all night.
