Sky's Rejection
Sky’s Rejection Chapter 22

I can’t honestly believe my mate went through all of that pain and rejection.

How could I not have been there for her?

Now I feel as if she thinks I have rejected her too. Why does she keep pushing me away?

‘Stop hurting mate, she’s strong but not strong enough for another rejection. She has to think we don’t want her because you smelled like another she – wolf and then you pulled away from her. She must think you will leave her just like everyone else in her life.’ Demon told me in my head, he’s right. I wonder how long it took her to trust Ty. I wonder how different she would be if her parents were still here? I can not believe she has both genes. She’s unique and one of a kind.

I would never do that and neither would you, so what do we do to make her realize we want her? I only pulled away because I knew she was lying and trying to disguise her true feelings from us, plus the pull from the mate bond was slowly trying to pull me in. If we move too fast she may be scared off though. I thought back in question to Demon, hoping he knows the answers to what we could do. I feel like I am drawing a blink. How can I be the Royal Alpha and over see all the wolves when I can’t even figure out how to make my mate feel that I want her?

‘I think I have a few ideas. To start with, get your a*s back in their with our mate and don’t let her make you leave again, we are the royal alpha so act like one.’ Demon replied with a growl, meaning there is no room for me to question him. I turn off my shower, grab an oversized blue towel and dry myself off. Demon is right. I need to be stern and just as stubborn as our mate if I want her to even try to acknowledge our bond. I feel this need to hold her, release her true emotions and help her accept them. Why won’t she let me in? Why won’t she let me explain why Katrina’s smell was on me?

I dressed in a pair of worn – out blue jeans, my favorite pair, and pulled on a tight black short sleeve muscle shirt. No need to get the suit out when I am not working today. Even if I was, there is no way I would be able to concentrate. I just need to be with my mate, make her at least agree to try to let our mate bond in. That is the best I can hope for.

‘Son, meet me in my office.’ My father, Tyson, mind links me. What could he want?

‘You mean my office?’ I questioned in the mind link as I rolled my eyes. Just because he is the former royal alpha doesn’t make the office still his.

‘You know where I want to meet, son, so just go there.’ Father linked to me, sternly.

‘Yes father, I will be there in a minute.’ I mind linked back to him before cutting the link off and blocking him out.

‘What about mate? We need to be with her.’ Demon whines in my head. I know, buddy, we will as soon as we are done with father. I replied to him, trying to reassure him that I hadn’t forgotten about our mate and I wouldn’t.

As I reached my office, I realized the last time father called me here like this was to reprimand me and serve me my punishment for trying to use the power of being an alpha over other kids. I still remember his words to this day. ‘There are two kinds of powerful people in this world. Ones who earn the respect of their subjects by saving them, listening to them, respecting them and protecting them. Then there are the ones who place fear in their subjects so they don’t disrespect them or step out of line. Which one are you?’

Demon and I sat together in our secret water hole for hours and decided who we wanted to be. We decided we wanted to be both, not just one. We wanted our subjects to respect us because we earned it and weren’t threatened into following us and we wanted others to fear us, so they never messed with our subjects. It was the best choice for us.

I pushed open the door and looked at my father who was sitting behind my desk, mother flanking his left side and Dean standing off to the side. “Father, what is the meaning of this?”

“Well, son, I think you should take a seat. We need to talk to you.” Father said, as I took a seat in the front of the desk, feeling like I was there to be scolded all over again. “If your mate chooses not to accept you, we have to be prepared. The most common option that may occur is your death.”

“Do not speak of that, Tyson. Right now, Dimitri needs to focus on bringing her to terms. They are mates, asking for forgiveness because I hear she caught him with a she – wolf after he already knew about her existence.” Mother told the whole room, isn’t she great? How did she even hear about that?

“YOU WHAT?!?!?” Father bellowed as he jumped out of his seat, looking as if he was ready to strangle me if mother didn’t place her hand on his arm.

“She didn’t catch him with a she – wolf. She smelt Katrina on him because she snuck onto the alpha floor, into his room and on his bed while he was sleeping. He threw her out of the room and told her she was out of line and that if she ever came back he would kick her out of the pack. I called him down to the meeting with High Alpha Ty and Sky before he could shower. Honestly, it was just bad timing. She hasn’t allowed him to explain himself since. She also ignored Ariel when she tried to explain. Saying, and I quote, ‘If he has something to say to me he knows where to find me. He should be a man and fight his own battles.’ So, Di is wrong for not going and talking to her, but not for what she thinks has happened.” Dean said, coming to my defense. She really said that? s**t, she must think I am weak for sending others to talk to her, though they chose to talk to her without discussing it with me first. f**k, more damage control I am going to have to do.

‘Go to mate now, I will kill anyone who gets in our way.’ Demon growls in my head, as it also slips out loud. s**t.

“I think Demon wants his mate. Go Dimitri, we will finish this talk later.” Mother says with a silly smile on her face. I can tell she is truly happy that I have found my mate. Now to just get my mate on the same page. Father grumbles about how he called this meeting and he barely got to say anything as mother dragged him out of my office. I didn’t waste anytime at all, I ran out of my office and straight to the pack hospital. I need to see my mate and so does Demon.

‘Hold down the fort. Don’t interrupt me unless there is an emergency. Got it?’ I mind linked my beta.

‘Of course, Alpha. See you after you fix things with your mate.’ Dean linked in humor. One day he will understand when he stumbles across his own mate. Your wolf will drive you crazy until you mark and mate with your one and only.

I ran into the pack hospital, down three halls and to the Luna room. I am sure she hasn’t realized what room she is in yet or she would have complained. I barge through the door and shock radiates through me. What the hell is going on here?

‘Was Sky discharged?’ I asked though the mind link to the doctor.

‘No, of course, not Alpha, you told me to give you updates three times a day and I have been doing that. I would have informed you to come get her if she was ready to be discharged. I am planning to monitor her for another twenty – four hours. Why?’ The doctor explains in the link and wonders why I would even be asking a question like that.

‘Where the hell is our mate?’ Demon asked in panic and anger. I could feel he was ready to break through and hunt our mate down. Did someone take her? Did she run away? If I force her back, will she reject me? Demon whimpers at my thoughts and I hate that I hurt him.

‘Lock down the pack hospital and get our security team down here to search the hospital high and low. Sky is missing.’ I mind linked to my beta with the alpha command.

‘Yes alpha.’ Dean linked back and then paused before continuing with his question. ‘ Do you think she left on her own ‘occurred?’

Demon growled at him and I felt the link close. I know he is going to do what I asked but I can’t help but wonder if he is right. She wasn’t a prisoner here. She didn’t seem to want to stay here either. Maybe I should find Ty and ask him.

‘Mark? Find Ty and bring him to the pack hospital. I need to know if he knows where my mate is.’ I linked my gamma. I need to find her before Demon snaps.

‘Of course, Alpha. What happened to Sky? Is everything alright?’ Mark questioned in the link. I am sure he is concerned about the luna.

‘She’s gone.’ Is all I can link back, I am fighting Demon so much to stay back. I have never fought him like this before. It is killing me to not know where she is and if she is alright. I am shaking like a leaf, I can’t do anything for my mate in this state of mind.

‘What the hell happened, Alpha? How did you lose my best friend?’ Ariel linked in anger. I can’t even answer her with how much control and concentration I need to keep Demon abay and not cause havoc.

Demon, I need you to stay calm for me. We can’t find her in this type of state. I tried to reason with my wolf.

‘Alpha, the security team, says they can’t find her. No scent, no wolf, nothing. They swept a hundred yard radius around the hospital. I will be adding another five hundred yards and letting the patrol know to keep an eye out for her or her wolf. Ty gave a description of her wolf and seemed just as worried. He does not have her.’ Dean mind linked me, breaking the last thread I had to hold Demon back.

“WHERE THE HELL IS MY MATE???” Demon growled loudly, shaking the whole foundation of the hospital.
