Rejected

Part 2

Michael's POV 

As I lay in bed I can feel the warmth of the body laying next to me. I roll over and wrap my arms around the beauty lying directly beside me. As I inhale her scent I snuggle my face into the crook of her neck. 

"Good morning gorgeous" I whisper in Nikki's ear. 

Nikki is my human fiancé. Now don't get me wrong, I waited long enough for my mate and she never appeared to me. Than I met Nikki at local show. We both ended up being friends with one of the band members named Dylan. 

He was in a local punk band that never really got to far, I mean they had a few tours but they were all self sponsored. Dylan is a friend that I've had since my second year in training. Training is like school for humans, but we learned more important things or rather things more tailored to wolves. I met Dylan in my second year of 'Pack Laws'.  When he asked me if ide want to see his band play I jumped at it.

 I mean Dylan will be my betta and I needed the opportunity to get to know him better. Plus I was sure my father who is the current alpha would be ok with it.  I still remember the moment I laid eyes on Nikki. She was standing against a guard rail in the very back of the room. The room was pretty dark but I could see her gorgeous flowing blonde hair all the way from where I was. I decided to walk over and introduce my self knowing that she had a few guys around her and not caring.

She just seemed so full of life and like she was what was keeping people here and having a good time. She was bopping around to the music and singing along. Her energy was contagious and I couldn't help but want to bop around with her. 

After a few minutes of enjoying the music I could feel her eyes on me. I turned to look at her and could see the amusement in her eyes.

"Hey, my names Nikki. I haven't seen you around before." She said matter-of-factly.

"Michael, nice to meet you." I could see the glimmer in her eyes that could light up this entire room.

Fast forward a few years and Nikki and I are now in love and expecting our very first pup. Shure its frowned upon to fall in love and let alone have relations with a human. Selfishly I knew if and when I found my mate this couldn't continue, and hell I wouldn't be able to fight my wolf to keep him away from her either. The day that Nikki told me she was pregnant, everything changed. 

I could never leave my pup especially needing and wanting to continue our alpha blood line, nor could I live with myself knowing that I abandoned someone that I helped create. I could never be that type of man it just wasn't in me. So I made the choice that day that I would marry her. 

"Good morning babe" She coos breaking me out of my concentration and the thoughts running through my head.

"How did you sleep last night?" I asked knowing that she was up and down literally all night throwing up. 

"Eh, I slept ok I suppose. Do you realize that today we are 9 weeks pregnant?" She says with such passion I can tell shes going to adore our little pup. I put my hand on her very tiny baby bump starting to form. Adoring the fact that in a few short months I will have a child that will be more important than my own well being or needs. 

Therefore I had pity for the woman that the moon goddess had destined to be my mate. That poor soul that would spend her eternity alone or choose to be with someone but never experience true complete love because I had fallen for a human. That is the woman I felt sorry for, but would never be able to tell her just how sorry I was. I would have to reject the woman that I was destined to be with. 

"So I will be attending alpha Jason's ball, only because he couldn't get another council member to attend." I say knowing she is already going to get pissed.

"What if shes there?" She asks. Knowing who shes referring to I roll my eyes trying to get her to calm her nerves. 

"I find that very doubtful but regardless if she ended up showing up I would automatically reject her. Once I formally reject her the mate bond will be broken and I will be free to mark you. " I say knowing its exactly what she wants to hear, and exactly what I had intended to do. When a wolf rejects his mate he is free to mark another, but by doing so Nikki and I would never have a full mate bond. She would never be able to mind link me, and we would never full the complete mate pull towards each other that two true mates would feel. Marking her would mostly be just so she could adorn my mark and others would know she belonged to me. 

 I've never given her a reason not to trust me, but here I am trying to get my over jealous human fiancé to calm down and not over react over something so damn trivial. I would probably stand there all night by my self just observing but Nikki was convinced I would meet 'her' every time I leave the house without her. Frankly its beginning to get a little old.

"Lets go down stairs and get something to eat. My pup is probably starving." I say attempting to change the subject while leading her downstairs to the kitchen of our pack house. 

I open the fridge and start pulling out eggs and milk and begin whipping them together in a bowl. Next I pull out the cinnamon and vanilla from the cabinet above the stove and add them to the bowl of the liquid mix of eggs and milk. I start to whip it with a whisk as I can see Nikki begin to walk out of the kitchen. I didn't try to stop her feeling relieved to have a few minutes to my self. I continue making each of our plates of French toast and scrambled eggs topped with fresh berries and freshly squeezed orange juice. While I begin to set the table and set all of this food down on the table so we may enjoy our late lunch together she begins to make me my daily cup of coffee. There's just something about the way Nikki makes my coffee. It never tastes the same when I make it and I always end up with coffee grounds floating in my cup.  Nikki walks over and sets my cup in front of me and takes the seat next to me. 

"This is delicious babe." She says in between trying to put large pieces of French toast into her mouth. 

"I'm glad you like it." I grin at her. 

"I'm going to meet with Cory tonight while you go to the ball. Maybe get dinner and go shopping. Hopefully it can help me keep my mind off of you and the 'what ifs'. I just can't stand the thought of loosing you, Michael. " She says and I can hear the pain and anguish behind her words. 

I would never purposely hurt Nikki or leave her for any other woman. I just wish she knew and understood that. 

"You wont loose me babe. I could never do that to you or my pup growing in your belly. I think hanging with Cory tonight can do you some good. You can take my card and buy whatever you want. Buy yourself some new clothes, go to dinner hell see a movie if that's what your heart desires." I let out in almost a plea. I just really want her to have a good time. 

"In the meantime I'm going to start getting ready. I do have a pack duties to do today and than I need to start getting ready to go. Do you want me to pick you up from Cory's or will she drop you off here?" I ask hoping she would pick the later of the two options. 

"Ill have her drop me off when were done." She answers while leaning in to give me a kiss. 

"Ok, that's perfect. Don't want you to have to wait around for me incase things run late. I love you sweet heart. I will see you later." I say as I remove myself from the table and place my dishes in the sink. I begin to walk out of the kitchen and back up to the room that Nicole and I share.  I hop in the shower and begin to get ready for my day. Today is going to be so long I think to myself.
