Alpha Scarlett POV
After we finish the meal many of the Alpha's and guests begin to mingle but Jackson is getting tired. I lift him from his highchair ready to take him upstairs. Mom I'm going to take Jackson up to bed, please thank everyone for me. "Alright Scar we will take care of everything down here, kiss him goodnight for us." I nod and kiss my mother's cheek. I wave to few people before I head for the stairs. I'm on the third step when I hear a voice, I will be glad to never hear again. "Scarlett, I hope you know this isn't over." I turn toward the asshole that gave me my son, its over for me and that's what matters." I walk away without another glance back. When I'm upstairs in my room I take Jackson right into the bathroom for his bath. Are you ready for a bath baby boy? He babbles like he is answering me. I strip him down spending time having fun before I put him in his pajamas. I walk to Jackson's room across the hall from mine. I sit in the rocking chair feeding him for bed. Once his belly is full, I lay my peaceful son down in his crib for the night. Switching on his monitor I head for the shower myself.
Alpha Zane POV
I want to grab a hold of her and show her who the Alpha is. She thinks she can dismiss me, that will never happen. I watch her go up the stairs, but I dare not follow her now. I meant what I said this is not over. I will have my heir. She will turn into an obedient Luna, or her pack will suffer. I walk back to the table where Vanessa is still pouting. Now that I have an heir, I don't think I can spend another minute with this woman. Let's go were leaving I say before heading toward the door. I don't even wait for her to catch up. When we reach the car, I get in and close my door. Vanessa opens the opposite door "what the f**k is your problem Zane I'm your Luna so treat me like I am." I stay silent until we get home. I get out of the car still not saying a word to her. When we get inside, I link my Beta Gerald to come to my office in fifteen minutes. The more I think about what a shitty Luna Vanessa is the more I don't feel one bit bad about what I'm about to do.
When we finally reach my office, and we are out of ear shot of the pack I lock my office door. "What was your problem tonight?" "You owe me an explanation Zane." My name from this day forward is Alpha Zane to you. "I will not call you Alpha I'm your equal." You will never be equal to me. You were a warm place to put my d**k and that is all you have been. She looks like I slapped her. I, Alpha Zane Joseph Helm, reject my mating and bond with Vanessa Lynn Morris. She grabs her chest but honestly, I can hardly feel the pain. "What the hell are you doing I won't accept it?" I walk forward you can accept it, or I can snap your neck right here your choice. "You bastard this is about that Alpha bitch." I put my hands around her throat. Make your decision or I will make it for you. "I accept your rejection of our mating and bond." I drop her to the floor. Gerald will be here momentarily to take you to my room to gather some clothes before he escorts you out of my territory. She stands with tears in her eyes. Don't try fake tears we were never in love you just wanted the title. "You are no different, thinking that woman are just arm candy and not worthy to help you run a pack." "I'm glad to be done with you, maybe I can find a real Alpha instead of a worm like you." Brutus surfaces and he has had enough of this poor excuse for a Luna. Before I can stop him, he snaps her neck dropping her to the floor. I'm not upset with him, but it complicates things a bit more.
A knock sounds on the door and Gerald walks in. I see the shock on his face when he sees Vanessa laying on the floor. He starts to bend down, and I stop him. She attacked me after I rejected her, the penalty for an attack on the Alpha is death. Take her body over the territory line and dispose of it. That's what we do with rogues. "Why would you reject your Luna?" Do I answer to you Gerald? "Of course, not Alpha but what will the pack think when you tell them she is dead by your hand." I have no intention of telling them that and neither will you. They will know she was rejected and banished. Do I make myself clear Gerald? "Yes Alpha" he says before he takes Vanessa's body out of my office.
Alpha Logan POV
I arrive at the crimson pack with my Beta Dawson. We are shown to a large room where the banquet is being held for Alpha Scarlett. When we arrive, I see Alpha Xander sitting at the head table. When he notices me, he heads in our direction. "Alpha Logan it's good to see you again" he says shaking my hand. The title isn't necessary Alpha Xander. "Agreed for both of us." This is my Beta Dawson, he shakes Xander's hand. "Come over to our table I want you to meet Emma my Luna." "How has your father been?" Well unfortunately you know him he still wants to know everything. "He should step away and let you run things your very capable." Thank you maybe I should have you tell him that, he always has had a lot of respect for you. Speaking of that when will I meet the new Alpha of the Crimson pack. "Well unfortunately Scarlett already went up to bed, but I'll set up a private meeting for the four of you." "Scarlett will want Michael her Beta involved also." I would appreciate that; I would like to talk about becoming allies with all the recent rogue attacks. "I think that's an excellent idea, if I recall your father never wanted anyone's help." "I'm glad to see you recognize that you can be strong alone but stronger with others."
When we reach the table Apollo is dancing around in my head. What is your problem? "I don't know there are so many smells, but I believe our mate is here." "The smell is faint, but I definitely smell lavender." I smell so much how do you know it is not just perfume? "Are you questioning my ability to know my mate?" I excuse myself walking around the room but no one in the room has that smell. "We missed her because of those damn rogues." Calm down Apollo we will find her.
