Alpha's Regretted Rejection

Chapter 8

Nayla is sitting on the ground beside her father's grave. She places her flowers in the vase that is standing beside the headstone. "Father, I finally found my mate. But he is not what I expected. He doesn't want me. I have to admit he is handsome, fine and he is strong. But he doesn't realize just how strong he is. His name is Traylor, he is the son of your friend Azarious. Father, I remember the first day when you and mother told me that my mate will love me unconditionally and he will always protect me. Father you and I both know that I don't need him to protect me. But I wouldn't mind the love unconditionally part. On the way here I stop to play with some rogues I smelt Traylor's sexy scent. It's like it is with me all the time. He is here every day now in my face with the one that he wants to mate with. I can not promise you that I will not kill her. Because I know deep down that I might end up doing it. But I promise you that neither one of them will ever know the pain that this is causing me. Because I will never give him or her that pleasure nor will I unblock my link to him. I am stronger and a lot better than they are. After all, I am the daughter of two strong Plains Cree warriors. I am the daughter of Koda and Sedna Tallchief. I love you father, thank you for always watching over me." She leans down and kisses her father's headstone.

Later that night at the gathering both packs are in the backyard, grilling, and dancing. Traylor, Midas, and Ladon are standing under a tree drinking a beer.

Midas is smiling looking around at the she-wolves members of Nayla's pack. He is looking at Enola. He winks at her. "Damn all of the she-wolves are fine as hell. I am going to love living here. I heard that the Alpha here is gorgeous as hell. I can't wait to meet her"

Ladon looks at Midas shaking his head, thinking. "Wrong thing to say"

Midas is looking at Ladon confused.

Traylor growls as he grabs Midas by his throat choking him. "Listen this is not a f*****g playhouse. Do not f**k with any she-wolves here. Especially the Alpha, stay away from her" Traylor Alpha commands him. "If you touch the Alpha in any way. I will torture your ass for a every day for a year before I kill you." Traylor releases his hold on him. "Do not make me repeat myself. If it comes down to that I will kill you." He walks away looking for Nayla

"What the f**k is wrong with Traylor? He seems different." Midas asks Ladon but is looking at Traylor

"That is not for me to say. But you will find out soon." Ladon is looking at Traylor "I do believe Traylor has finally grown up and wants his mate back. " He mumbles and smiles

Midas is looking at Ladon wondering what does he mean.

Deirdre is standing by herself. Nayla's pack doesn't like her because she has been hitting on all of their mates and the unmated men. But none of the men in Nayla's pack will have anything to do with her. "I do not like this place. Traylor has not paid me any attention. That f*****g Alpha b***h, what is it about her that has him acting so damn weird?" Deirdre is thinking, looking at Traylor.

He is walking over to the table where his parents, Sedna, and the higher ranks of both packs are sitting. Traylor looks at Chaske. "Yea I have to keep an eye on you. I know you want my Luna. But that will not happen." He is thinking, looking at Nayla and Maka walking out of the door.

Nayla is looking around at her pack members smiling. "Good evening everyone. It is a beautiful night." She said looking at her mother.

"Good evening, yes daughter it is. Did you enjoy your visit with your father?" Sedna hugs Nayla

Nayla is still smiling. "Yes, I did. Chepi, Adsila, and the other women really outdid themselves tonight." She walks to the head of the table. She stands behind the chair.

Her mother walks to the other end and sits down.

Nayla is looking around the yard at everyone. "Tonight is a night for both pack members to get to know each other. Have fun, but not too much fun that you will harm others. Enjoy tonight, because tomorrow is back to business and our everyday routines. We welcome Silver Thunder." Nayla lifts her champagne flute. She looks around at everyone that is sitting at the table. " Enjoy tonight. Because this is the last time you will be sitting at this table." She is thinking when she looks at Deirdre

" Where is the damn guy that car belongs to? He has to have money to own that kind of car." Deirdre is thinking, looking at Chaske.

Chaske is not looking at her. He is talking to Nayla, then he looks at Traylor. " I can't believe he rejected Nay." He is thinking.

Midas is looking at Nayla. "Oh s**t that Traylor's mate." He is thinking, looking at Nayla smiling then he looks over at Maka, thinking. "I might have some fun after all."

Deirdre walks over to Ladon, she pokes him several times on his shoulder. "I want to sit next to Traylor"

Ladon hits her hand. "Get away from me"

"Go sit where you were told to," Traylor said without looking at her.

"No, I want to sit next to you." She said poking Ladon again,

"This is my house you will sit where I tell you to sit. Now glue your ass back into that damn chair. Before it becomes a permanent fixture around your bony neck." Nayla said it calmly, not looking at Deirdre.

Deirdre walks back over to the chair and sits down.

Everyone at the table is looking at Nayla smiling and nodding their head.

"That's right daughter keep her ass in her place" Sedna mind-links Nayla.

Nayla looks at her mother, nods her head.

"Damn my mate is strong, I like that. First thing tomorrow I will ask her out on a date." Traylor is thinking, still looking at Nayla.

"Are you two going back to New York anytime soon?" Paytah asks. He is Sedna's Delta and also Chaske's father.

"I am glad that you brought that up. Next week I will be returning to the city for about a week. Maka will be staying here to run the pack. Chaske will be returning with me." She looks at Chaske then at her mother.

"No, he can't go back with you," Traylor growls looking at Chaske then at Nayla. Then he stands up clenching his fist

Everyone at the table is looking at the two of them.

"Why not? I am free to do whatever I please." Nayla stands up looking at Traylor

"If any man is going with you then it will be me" Traylor is still looking at her.

She looks at him and folds her arms. "Well, I do not want your company."

"Nayla, you are wearing my mark on your beautiful neck. You're mine, whether you like it or not." He is pointing at her neck

"You marked her? You said that I was going to be your Luna." Deirdre is looking at Nayla rolling her eyes.

"SHUT UP," Nayla and Traylor said in unison looking at her

Azarious finally take his eyes off of Nayla and his son. He looks at Deirdre "You will never be the Luna of my pack. My son has found his mate. Even if it does has a few bumps that they need to work out."

"Excuse me." Nayla is walking away from the table. But only take one step

"Nayla listen to me. I love you. You are mine, my mate, and my Luna. I take back my rejection." He is looking at her

She turns to look at him, shakes her head. "You can't take back a rejection" and walk away.
