Sky's Rejection
Sky’s Rejection Chapter 34

(Dimitri’s POV)

I am sitting in darkness, With a small light at the end of the door. I don’t know if I should be going towards the light or away from the light. I know I died, that I am sure of.

The rest is a blur.

*Flashback*

I watched the horror, pain and sadness playing out on my beautiful mate’s face as she held me in her arms. That was the first time I saw her express any emotion. I was shocked but I finally knew she has always loved me. Just holding her shield around her heart.

‘Not good enough, look at the pain she will go through because of us. Can she survive this?’ Demon asked me with so much concerned. I could feel the panic running through him, not from dying but from knowing if Sky could handle another loss.

Though I don’t know how to answer him. I don’t know everything she has went through because she hasn’t opened fully up to me. I know who she is, making me realize her pack abandoned her, her brother said she was dead, her ex – mate rejected her and her parents died in front of her eyes. Can she survive losing me too?

I could hear her begging for me not to leave her, I could feel her tears hitting my face. I knew I was losing the battle of life and I just hoped she would stay strong even after losing me.

*End of Flashback

Then I was gone, in an empty space of nothing. Not knowing where or what I should do next.

I felt like I was here for ages just sitting in my own thoughts. How is my pack? How is the rest of the Kingdom? Did my parents get to safety? Did Dean and Mark show up? Is Sky safe or did Alpha Xander get to her too? Did Sky have to lose her brother too?

So many questions and no answers.

Suddenly I heard a voice echoing around me, “It is not your time yet Dimitri. Head towards the light and go back to your pack.”

I didn’t recognize the voice and I had no idea why I was being sent back or how. I died from a wolfsbane laced silver knife. There is no way I could survive. Even Sky tried to heal me. I want to go back but what if this was a trick? Am I being sent somewhere I don’t want to be?

“Sky will need you. Please you must follow the light now and go back.” The voice speaks out into the darkness again and that is all I need to hear. My mate needs me, I don’t care how I am able to return or why. All I care about is getting back to be there for Sky.

I slowly walk towards the light, realizing the distance is a lot longer than it looked. The darkness playing tricks on me. As I reach the light, I take a deep breath before stepping through. Within seconds I felt my body being pulled in so many directions. Until I started to feel as if I am falling and then slammed into the ground, hard.

Holy s**t, I felt like I just died. I take a deep breath of air, causing courses of gasps to ring through the room. I must be back now. I feel six presences making me wonder who they are. Suddenly, a seventh one shows up, panting as if the person ran a marathon.

“Dean is gone, he is leaving for good I couldn’t stop him.” A voice pants out in panic, I know that voice. Mark. Where is my mate? Why isn’t she stopping him?

I stand up abruptly, as I peel my eyes open. Looking around the room I see a lot of shocked faces, but my mates is the one that concerns me. Is she dead?

‘Coma.’ Is all Demon says. I am happy to hear from him, but he seems tired and upset. How did my mate end up in a coma? What did I miss?

‘Where the hell do you think you are going? Get your a*s back here now.’ I mind linked to Dean, anger and annoyance ringing through my voice. I feel his shock and happiness.

“Son?” Father question as he approached me slowly as if I may have been a figment of his imagination.

“I am happy to see that you and mother are okay. Will someone explain to me what happen to my mate?” I asked as I hugged my father, patting him on the back in a reassuring way.

“She… she… she k… killed Xander.” Ariel whispered, sadness lacing every word as if she was talking about someone dead. Sky is not dead though; she is still alive. I can feel it and so can Demon.

“And?” I asked trying to figure out where this could be going. That voice told me that Sky needed me, so what am I supposed to do to help her?

‘Maybe we could k**s her awake?’ Demon said while smirking, I can feel his want to be close to our mate. Specially after thinking we had lost her and still not knowing what will happen next.

“For some reason it seems her soul has separated from her body. My theory is that it was to traumatizing for her to lose you that she accepted her fate of death. Causing her soul to leave her body, the problem is that she didn’t die. I think Rain and Angel are still trapped inside but they can not function without Sky.” The doctor says as he enters the room, making me look at him in shock. Was I so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize another presence has shown up?

“So, what do we do to get her back?” I asked slowly, as I try to come up with a way to get my mate back into her body.

“I am not sure Alpha; I have never had to deal with something like this before.” The doctor says slowly, as if I am going to snap at any little thing.

Demon pushes to the front of my mind, as I feel my eyes begin to glow. He growls in annoyance as Demon barks out, “WELL FIND OUT.”

“How are you alive? The pack must be so confused after feeling your death and the loss of our Alpha and then feeling his power radiating through the pack. This can’t be true. First, I hear Sky talking all around me but I don’t see her anywhere, as if she was the whisper in the winds. How is that possible? Then my best friend like brother comes back from the dead, looking as if he never even died. Am I dreaming? Am I hallucinating? Could I be dead?” Dean burst through the door panting as he begins to rant on and on as if in a state of shock.

“Calm down son. Everything will be fine, just breathe. I already linked the pack and stopped the mass panic.” Father says as he grabs Dean’s shoulders trying to calm him down and get him to think rationally.

After about ten minutes of patiently letting Dean calm down, I see him glance around at everyone in the room. He takes in every person before setting his eyes on Sky. “How is she like that? I heard her, I felt her. She told me I needed to go back, she told me the pack, Mark and you needed me. How is she still in a coma? That isn’t possible.”

‘I want mate, I want to hear mate like him. Fix mate, please.’ Demon begs in my mind as I hear him whimper. I wish I could buddy. To be there for her and take all her worries away. I want to hold her in my arms and never let her out of my sight again. I need her, we need her, and I don’t know what to do to get her back.

“The doctor thinks her soul separated from her body after losing Dimitri. The trauma was to much for her to take.” Ariel said sadly as I kept running through my thoughts.

‘How did he hear mate?’ Demon asked in confusion, and I feel the exact same way. There is no possible way he would have heard Sky when she lays right here. If her soul truly separated from her body, is it possible for her communicate with a living being? Why did she feel the need to in the first place?

“No, no, no… This can’t be happening. This can’t be real. She can’t be still in a coma, she talked to me.” Dean starts freaking out as he backs himself into a wall. I stare at him wondering how much of a toll all of this has took on him.

Losing me.

Losing his soon to be Luna.

Has he finally snapped?

(Sky’s POV)

I followed Dean back to the pack house, prpetty much latching myself to him so we could get back. As he bursts into the room, I see everyone stare at him as he rants like a crazy person. Better off being crazy than dead, I guess.

As I look around, I see Ty sitting there calmly, as he reads the newspaper. If you didn’t know him, you would think he didn’t have a care in the world, but I can feel the distress and how scared he is. He has lost so much; I can’t believe I thought I could put him through that again for my own selfish need.

Ariel is sitting next to my bed, staring daggers at her hands as she holds onto my hand tight enough to cause my fingers to turn white. What is going on with her? I jump into her mind hearing her thoughts as the emotion of anger and sorrow overwhelms me. ‘How dare you leave me, leave us. We need you, you promised to help with the baby. I swear to the goddess if you don’t come back, I will kill you myself.’ Wow, I didn’t realize my absences could cause this many people to be hurt.

Dimitri’s dad, Tyson, is standing up near Di until he rushes over to Dean to calm him down. I feel relief and panic radiating off him. It seems the room is starting to overwhelm with panic and sorrow. s**t, what did Dean just say? Why was I not paying attention? Movement catches my eye and I glance over to see Mark heading near Ariel, as he wraps her in his arms, and she turns to cry in his chest.

Dimitris’s mom, Samantha, is staring out in space what is going on with her? I tap into her mind. She seems to be masking her emotions well. ‘I am upset, and I can’t imagine how my son feels. First, we lose him, and I think I will never see him again and now that he is back it seems Sky will never wake up. Dimitri will have to suffer through the pain of losing his mate. Many can’t handle that and will eventually give up, sacrificing their lives to be with their mates. It is harder on Alphas, not mentioning royals who are not allowed the opportunity of a second chance mate.’

Dean starts freaking out, drawing my attention back to him. I watch as he backs himself into the wall, pulling his hair as if nothing he is going through could be real. Dimitri stands there as if he is lost and finally realizing the intensity of everyone around him. Why isn’t anyone helping him? Why won’t anyone comfort him? I rush to Dean’s side as I wrap my arms around him, trying to calm him down. “Calm down Dean, everything will be fine. Be the corky, funny, joking Beta you are meant to be. Worry and panic doesn’t look good on you.”

Deans head whips around in every direction as if looking for something or looking for me. “Did you hear that? Did you hear Sky?” Dean asked as he looked at everyone wide eyed. He slowly starts to calm down in my embrace and I can’t be happier that I was able to help him.

“No?” Mark questions as he looks at Dean like he has gone insane. They don’t hear me.

I look over at Dimitri and it seems he wants to believe Dean but at the same time can’t. He can’t go through hurt it would cause him to know I am here but to him I am not.

“Di?” I whispered as despair washes over me. I can see my mate, I can touch my mate, I can talk to my mate, but he can’t feel or hear any of it.

Dean turns as if he is looking straight into my soul. I stare back into his eyes as I truly wish he saw me. He wants to communicate for me. He wants to help me, but I don’t even know how to get back in my body so how will he help?

“Tell Dimitri I am sorry I didn’t let him in sooner. Tell him that we can take care of the pack together and that I love him too.” I said as tears streamed down my face. I want to accept him, I want to rule the pack and take care of all creatures with him, I want to change this world for the better, like my mother and father always dreamed of. Now will I ever be able too?

“Shouldn’t you tell him that?” Dean said in a whisper.

“Tell who what?” Ariel questioned in confusion. Not understanding what is happening. Ty silently put the news paper down a few minutes ago and is observing everything in silence.

“Who are you talking to?” Dimitri asked, his voice sending shivers through my body. I want him to just hold me.

“Mark, get the doctor.” Tyson demands as he tries to shake Dean as if he is in a trance, but he isn’t.

“I don’t think I will be able to. I don’t know how to get back. Please Dean I need him to know.” I begged, hoping he can tell him before the doctor comes in. The door slams open and I watch the doctor rush in with a shot in his hand. I sniff the air, tranquilizer. No, I can’t allow this to happen. “Dean the doctor has a tranquilizer. Please tell Dimitri, he will believe I am here. Please?”

“Okay.” Dean says quietly as Ty rushes to get between the doctor and Dean, trying to keep him away. Dean turns slowly towards Dimitri, taking a deep breath. “She says, tell Dimitri I am sorry I didn’t let him in sooner and that we can take care of the pack together and that I love him too.”

Dimitri gasps, “STOP.” He demands to the doctor in a command, everyone turns to him in shock. “She is here. I don’t know why only Dean can hear her, but she is here. She answered to the last statement I spoke to her before I died. How do we get her back into her body?”

I sigh in relief. Now they won’t do anything to Dean.

I just hope they can figure out what I need to do to come back.

I really should have asked the Moon Goddess before leaving there.
