The Alpha's mate

Jannelle POV I want a baby Scott! I have waited long enough. When will you get over your fear of having kids? I never said I have a fear of having kids. I said I didn't know if I wanted to have them with you Jannelle. Scott huffed and walked out of the room.  Jannelle stood confused and hurt. I don't understand what I did to make him feel this way. Haven't I given him enough? I have given up friends and time with my family to be near him when he needed me. He complained that when it was a full moon it was too painful for him to shift alone. Even though I have to shift alone all of the time. Jannelle stood in the doorway to the kitchen wondering if she should try and work it out with him. As she watched Scott making his sandwich she couldn't help but to wonder if the spirit goddess made a mistake? How could a mate reject his equal? How could he be so right for me in the Goddess's eyes yet so wrong for me. I knew I would have to either let this go and live unhappily or stand my ground and force him to give me what I wanted. Or maybe... It was time I looked for a third option. As usual whenever Jannelle was doubting herself or having issues with Scott she turned to her life long friend Zack. Zack always put things into perspective for her. He never put her down or made her feel stupid for staying with Scott. Even if Zack didn't like him. Zack, what am I going to do? I love him but he refuses to give me what I want. "What do you want?" asked Zack. I want a baby. I want to start my own family. You know I have always wanted to be a mother. My mother was amazing. Up until the day she died she was always there for me. She supported me and loved me even when I was being difficult. I just want to be the same for my child. But he won't give me that chance! " What if he never does? Will you stay?" Zack asked with a concerned expression on his face. I honestly don't know. I replied. What if I don't? Will I be able to find love again? The Spirit Goddess gave me a mate who couldn't be farther from what I dreamed of when we were pups. "Look Jannelle, you are going to have to face the reality that Scott isn't the man you thought or hoped he was  and I refuse to believe that there isn't someone out there for you. Have you imprinted on him yet?" The look on his face said he knew I was surprised by his question. I looked down at the floor for what seemed like a split second when Zack startled me by saying "Well?" No! OK? No I have not imprinted on  him. No he has not imprinted on me. We have just been living in the same home, unmarried, no baby, no imprint and no real commitment. Suddenly I burst into tears. I have no answers. I have no future and I have no hope for Scott and I. Scott POV Why doesn't she understand that I do not love her the way she wants me to? I think I have made it painfully clear that we are not right for each other and I don't share her wants and needs. The spirit Goddess made a huge mistake putting us together. Didn't she know I was already in love with Jessica? I damn near spent every waking moment from the time we graduated high school to this very day making love to her. But my parents won't accept her because the "Goddess didn't put us together" according to my parents. What did they know? They have been together since they were 18 and that was a long time ago. Times have changed. I am not like them. The heart knows what it wants. As soon as I can convince Jannelle she doesn't want me, the sooner I can move on. Jannelle doesn't realize why I haven't imprinted on her. Unfortunately I can't. I have already imprinted on Jessica. I haven't let Jessica imprint on me though. I can't. Not until Jannelle leaves me. If Jannelle leaves me then my parents won't object to Jessica. They will think I was given a second chance at love. One night when Jannelle and I  were fooling around I almost said Jessica's name. Thankfully she didn't catch it. Probably because she was too busy sucking my d**k. s*x with Jannelle isn't even pleasureable. I have to imagine it's Jessica. That's the only way I can finish. Suddenly Scott had an idea. If Jannelle were to think I was cheating on her with another she wolf maybe she would leave. I just have to make it seem like I was even though I really was. I think I have an idea. Zack POV When Jannelle came over I didn't think I could hide my excitement. Even though it's never happened before I always hoped that she would suddenly realize it was me she should be with. I pictured her running through my door, jumping into my arms and kissing me. I imagined what it would feel like to have her lips pressed against mine. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by Jannelle sobbing in front of me. "Zack, what am I going to do?" The question was one she asked a million times. The answer was so painfully obvious but why can't she see that?  I tried to offer her comfort by rubbing small circles on her back and letting her head rest on my shoulder. The smell of her hair was like being in a garden full of roses. She was amazing. She sat there crying for hours. I felt helpless. I just wanted to make her feel better. I'd do anything for her. What do you want? I asked her secretly hoping she would say to me. Jannelles responses were always along the lines of I don't know or I don't understand.  Goddess why can't I make her see? After the back and forth we decided to just relax a bit and watch a movie. As usual I let her pick. As usual she picked some sappy love story drama and I pretended like I was into it. Anything to make her happy. Jannelle cuddled up to me and wrapped us both in a blanket she had bought for me for my birthday. She said it reminded her of me. The way I felt and smelled. Like a beautiful fall day. After about 30 minutes into the movie she looked at me and said "you'll find love someday Zack. I know you will. She is out there for you. Maybe it'll make me feel better if I help you look for her instead of wasting my time always feeling sorry for myself." I raised my eyebrow at her and said, say what now? Why would you want to do that? I am perfectly happy living the single life. Jannelle laughed at me and smacked my arm. "No you're not and you aren't fooling me! Since we were kids you knew you wanted to find your mate. You would describe her as a tall blonde with blue eyes." Little did she know I gave her a description that was the exact opposite of her. If I had described her she would have known my true feelings. I laughed and said fine fine fine. If it means that much to you you can try and find this girl for me. But I have to be honest, I don't think you will. With that she gave off a high pitch squeal noise and wiggled around on the couch with excitement. "I promise I am going to find you the perfect mate Zack just you wait!" And just like that she had gotten her phone and started signing me up for all sorts of dating apps and texting all of her girlfriends looking for the "one."
