Rejected

Leon's POV

FIVE YEARS LATER

Its been five years already. Why isn't she back? After she had decided to leave the pack. I was kind of upset with her. Okay, maybe kinda is understatement. Considering how i beat most of my men in the name of sparing. How dare she just leave everyone? Leave me?. I guess i had been hoping that she would stay near, despite me being mated to another woman. I guess i was wrong. And i hadn't liked that at all. When she had called telling me that she was pregnant, I had been rude and mean to her. Why i behaved like that? I wouldn't know. I can just blame it on my arrogance. After she had hung up, l had thought back to that night when i made her mine and i discovered that i had forgotten to use protection. Then it hit me that she really was pregnant with my baby. I was so happy but thinking back to how i had treated her and practically refused to listen, for the first ever i had realized that i had made a huge mistake by letting her go.

Being with Mona had been hell for me. Everything she did had irritated me. Her blood had been disgusting to me now. It just was not right to me anymore. Even when i had resorted to blood bags or another volunteers, their blood was disgusting for me too. Eventually i had accepted that i only needed Skye's blood. My mate's blood. So I stopped having human blood and started taking animal blood. It was not enough for my vamp side but it satisfied it enough so that i would not lose my mind in hunger.

I have been looking for Skye for the last five years. I had started looking for her after when she had called, i was still with Mona back then. So when i had caught her in bed with another man, i had been just sad for her because the punishment was death. I hadn't blamed her for being unfaithful because i had been too. I had not been finding pleasure with her so i had started sleeping with other women but i never got satisfied too not like when i was with Skye. s*x had became a chore for me because it helped to calm my wolf and manage the hunger for a little while. Despite all that my wolf was never really satisfied. He wanted his mate back. And honestly so did i. Still do.

I had sent some of my men around the globe to look for her and there wasn't any luck in finding her. Im starting to lose my mind. Between the animal blood, my wolf being restless and not finding her, l was too close to losing it. And its been known to happen to werewolf shifters who got separated from their mate. And i was beginning to think that sooner or later i will not be able to cope let alone continue be The Alpha. I wanted her back. No, we wanted her back and only her. It did not matter to me anymore that she was a human. I could turn her like the guys had suggested years back. If only i had listened.

I had told my family about Skye's pregnancy and what i had said to her. They were not happy especially my mother she had stopped talking to me for a year. Even thou now she talks to me, its not like how she did it back then. With all the love and smiles. These days im lucky even she throws a smirk my way. Jake, Noah and River had been also upset with me, they had asked me a few times why i had started obsessing about Skye so i had told them that i wanted her back. She was pregnant and i wanted to do right by her. At that, they had agreed to help me find her. They each took turns to go around the globe with other guys to look for her. But with no luck. It was almost as if she had vanished.

Where is she? Could she be dead? I quickly defused that thought because if she was her family would have said something about that. Liking me or not, they would not have kept quiet about it. Especially Sofia, she would have cursed me out. Probably send a few bats my way too.

Suddenly Jake, Noah and River entered my private office. They have clearly been running. What was wrong now? Before i could ask they beat me to it.

"She is here." They said in unison.

"Who's here?"

"Skye." They replied in unison again.

At that i jerked up to my feet.

"They found her?" I enquired.

"No, she came on her own. She is at her house." River replied.

"How does she look? Is she okay?"

Jake whistled in appreciation. "Man you are in for a surprise."

I quickly made for the door. I wanted to see her for myself but Stella opened the door and came in. She was my current mistress. If you would call her that but i just have s*x with her to try and satisfy my beasts sides a bit. When she came near me, my wolf growled in my head in displeasure. He never liked her or any other women i have been with. He mostly try to coerce me into killing them. And when i ignore him he growls in my head for days just out of spite. I got his point but i still needed to survive.

"Babe, that human girl is back." Stella pouted. I guess she knows i have been looking for her. I was not in the mood for her drama. I wanted to see my mate. I went to go past her but she grabbed my arm.

"You wont leave me, right?" She asked.

"Stella, as from today i don't want to see you anywhere near me or my family. We are done." I growled wanting to get it over with already but she still kept her hold on my arm.

"But..."

"You agreed to us having s*x only and nothing more. I was honest with you from the start that i only wanted s*x from you." I snarled, my patience running out.

"But i love you Leo." She replied with tears in her eyes. I didn't have time for all this drama.

"And I love her, being away from her for all these years has made me acknowledge my real feelings for her. I love her so much and this time i wont let her go."

At that i left a shocked Stella in the office but i couldn't help and notice that Jake, River and Noah were smiling. They never did liked my s*x buddies or even Mona for that matter. I made my way towards Skye's house. I cant wait to see her.

Skye's POV

"Aunt,please let me go now. You have been hugging me for fifteen minutes now." I said laughing

"Who knows when you will leave again,i want to give you all the hugs you missed while you were away." She replies.

Nicky, Isabella and I had arrived thirty minutes ago. I was so happy to see my family again. Everyone was so smitten with Isabella. Even right now she was sitting on my uncle's lap. She was clearly enjoying all the attention she was getting. I quickly assured my aunt that i was back for good this time so she can hug me everyday or even at every hour, i wouldn't mind. At that she was happy and allowed me to sit down

Sofia and l hugged tightly too. I had missed my cousin so much. So i quicky told everyone about my life and my experiences. Isabella had often asked about her father and i had told her that he loved her so much. I also had told her that she had two grandma's,two grandpa's and three aunties. At hearing that she would be so happy because she had double the family members. I only hoped that Leon would not break my baby's heart. I was back for good now and they went bound to meet someday.

Sofia continuously commented on my looks. Praising me. I know i look more sexy,hot and gorgeous. My red hair was longer now up to my waist and it had vicious curls all through it. The hair alone would draw attention to me. My body had curves now. I wasn't slim anymore, a bit chubby with a flat tummy but i still loved my body very much. I was wearing a backless flared red mini dress. Most of my dresses are backless. I was also wearing flats. Silver flats to be precise, they matched my necklace and earrings.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and i got up and opened the door. I was so startled to see Leon there. When i had opened the door i had been expecting anyone but Leon. He looked older and still sexy but i could tell that these last five years have not been all sunshine and rainbows for him. Not to mention the color of his aura. Now that i had magic, somehow i could see people's aura's of i put my mind to it or it just happens like right now. And Leon's aura was two colors mixed. Red and grey. Red for love and grey for indicating that his life has not been easy.Jake, River and Noah were there too but a bit far. They were after all here for the Alpha's protection.

"Skye." The way he said my name, if i didn't know any better i would say he missed me or better yet loved me. With the red aura im seeing it was almost enough to let me believe that but since i wasn't that naive little human anymore, i was not gonna think that much less believe it. After all, Leon had slept with me five years ago claiming that i was his mate and a few hours later he had rejected me and claimed another woman.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

Before he could answer, a cute little voice behind me said, "Mama can i please have a chocolate"

Leon and the guys clearly heard her and judging by their facial expressions they were shocked. I turned back to my daughter, smiled and said, "Sure baby, go ask Aunt Nicky for one. She will give it to you. As long as you pay the price." She giggled and went back in. She knew the price was always kissing our cheeks and saying thank you. Thank goodness she hadn't paid much attention to whom i was speaking to. Im not sure that i was ready to introduce them yet. Of course i will do it someday. But the someday was definitely not today.

"She looks like me." Leon gripes.

"Pity, i thought she would look like one of the men i whored my way through." I replied with bitterness. I guess i wasn't over the way he had humiliated me by suggesting that i opened my legs for anyone.

He grimaced,obviously remembering his own words. I went to close the door but he held on to my wrist and pulled me straight into his arms. Was he insane? How dare he hug me like we were friends or better yet lovers. The way he was holding me it was as if he would not let me go ever. And i didn't like that being in his arms felt good. Then i started struggling for him to let me go.

"Let me go,Leon." He did but reluctantly. What was his problem? Did he think he can use me again? Whatever his plan is, it wont work this time. I wont let my feelings determine my actions. Been there, done that.

"I missed you Skye. Come back to me." He says pleadingly.

"Never again. I hate you so much and i want to live my without you." I reply, bitterness ringing in my tone.

"So you would forge a mate bond with another man?" He asked. That was not what i said but anything would do to get rid of him.

"Yes i would."

Just as quickly all the softness disappeared in Leon's eyes. He quickly took steps closer to me, that our bodies were now brushing. If it was back then i would have flinched because the look on his face was terrifying. But all i could think about was how i wanted him closer. And how sexy he looked with that expression he had on now. Nothing scared me anymore thou, least of all him.

"You are mine and only mine. If you let another man touch you, i will kill him and all his family members." He growled. And with that he turned around and left me standing by the door. I quickly peeked inside to see if anyone had heard my confrontation with Leon, but with Isabella's chatter everyone was distracted. I quickly made my way inside. I softly closed the door behind me but one question kept on bugging me. What was wrong with Leon? The look he had in his eyes bothered me a lot. It was like he cared for me. Well too bad because i didn't care for him anymore. That little naive human girl who loved him died five years ago.
