Chapter 8 - Rejected, but not Broken

Chapter 8

Derek’s POV

I love my girlfriend and chosen mate, Piper Lowell. As I continued to pump in and out of her, her moans got louder and louder. I am glad most of our dorm is still in the training area that we just snuck away from. She is a very attractive girl with brown hair and soft brown eyes. At 5’9" she is thin, but she has a nice ass. I continue to work her after I flip her onto her knees so I can go in further from this position and I stop for a second and push her knees further out and then press her shoulders down towards the bed. I grip her hips and I start at a vigorous pace. I can tell she likes this new position, and she quickly gets to where she was before I stopped and changed positions with her. Piper is always enthusiastic when we have sex and today is no exception. We were supposed to drive up and get to my pack tonight, but I didn’t feel like going just yet as half the dorms were empty. We could spend today together in my dorm as my roommate left yesterday. We will head out in the morning and still get there by 1 pm. It is only a 3-hour car ride. I lean forward and grab the front of her shoulder with my right hand and use my left hand to apply pressure to her clit as I keep my aggressive pace. Piper lets out a long low moan and then calls my name out and when she came, I felt her vaginal walls tighten up on my dick, milking me of all my cum. I gently pulled out and then lay onto my side and pulled her into me. We are both breathing hard, and I feel very relaxed. Piper backs up to me and then pulls one of my hands up from her waist to cover her breasts and then says, “That is more like it”.

I remember the day I met her 8 months ago when we started Alpha training. I had noticed her because I am an ass man, when she was bent over to pick up her paperwork she had dropped onto the ground. It turns out her pack was right next to our pack, and she is the only child of Alpha August Lowell and Luna Olive Lowell of the River Bed pack. Our packs are about 4 hours by car, but in wolf form, you can run straight across from one pack to the other in about an hour and five minutes. I was sleeping with Piper and a few other girls from Alpha training, but when dad heard me mention her name when I came to visit at Christmas, he wanted to speak to me about her. He knew that whoever she was mated to, would be the next Alpha, and he wanted us to enlarge our pack lands by merging the packs. She found out her mate was just an Omega before she came to Alpha training, so, she rejected him. Her father and mother told her that an Omega was not fit to lead and would not be able to run the pack properly, as he was never trained to fight, and would never be able to protect her in a fight. Piper was fine with rejecting him and he ended up leaving the pack soon after she rejected him.

His loss was my gain though. I am fucking his girl, and soon to take over both my pack and hers and we will have increased our pack’s size by over double, right when I take over. I am really happy about it, and Piper is really happy with me. Dad said to make sure I stop with the other girls right now until I get her locked down and marked. She had already rejected her mate, now all I had to do was reject mine when I found her, but I already knew who it was, and I thought about her a lot. Gabi Emerson was my mate, and she was absolutely beautiful. I get hard again thinking about Gabi, and I turn over towards Piper and lift her leg up, and slide right back into her warm heat. She had nodded off but soon woke up to my slow strokes. I had one arm curved underneath her and I reached down and started pulling and pressing on her clit. She likes it when I do hard circles on her clit when she is near her finishing, and I listened to her breathing and knew she was getting close to coming soon. I bore down on her clit and started thrusting harder into her and she started shuddering and then screamed out my name, and finished a few strokes later.

I lowered her leg and let her get some sleep. That was only going to take the edge off me for just a little while. My mind drifts back to Gabi and the guilt creeps back in. I treated her badly. My dad didn’t like us playing together when we were children as he really didn’t like Omegas. He thinks that they are worthless, and he won’t change his mind about that. I really liked Gabi growing up and I felt a special attachment to her and always had fun around her. Then Heather decided that she wanted to play with me, and she got mad when I told her to leave us alone. Her mom complained to my mom, but mom let us keep playing together. Her dad, though, got hold of my dad and made a big deal about me spoiling Gabi, and dad went off. I was not allowed to play with Gabi anymore. Dad had used his Alpha command on me to not play or speak with Gabi. When I was a Sophomore and Gabi was a freshman, she had said “Hi” to me once in the hallway, and I reacted horribly. Heather, however, really enjoyed it, and she used that to springboard others into bullying and hurting Gabi. Heather was mad at Gabi for me turning her down on playing with us. She couldn’t get me back, because she wanted to be Luna, and she couldn’t hurt the future Alpha, but she has been after Gabi ever since. I have seen what she has done, and I still hear what she is still doing. That is going to be the only good part of me going back home, as she will see that she will never be my Luna. I know she set Gabi up someway for the shirt-stealing incident, but Heather's argument made sense. Gabi had never taken anything before or since, but Dad always took a ranked member's word, before an Omegas. I have no idea why. I went easy on Gabi with her punishment, but Heather wanted to do the last 2 strikes of the 5 strikes that dad swore Gabi had earned. Heather completely destroyed Gabi’s back with how she snapped the whip. All five of the silver hooks flared out and it hurt me to watch it. Gabi’s back was bleeding and ruined. The next day at school, Heather had run over to hit Gabi, as no one thought she had a wolf. She had never shown herself, and we all thought that she might be wolf-less. When Heather connected with what should have been Gabi’s shredded back, she just stumbled forward but did not cry out. Heather hit her pretty hard. I don’t know why she is so spiteful to Gabi, but she is, she completely hates her in her misspent anger over her jealousy of me. Gabi was healed, and Heather started a rumor that Gabi was a witch.

That will be the downside. See, I know that tomorrow is Gabi’s birthday. I don’t know if I can avoid her all day, but she lives in the pack, and I can’t dodge her forever. I will have to see her some time, but I need to have Piper in there as the Luna before Gabi realizes that we are mates. It is still going to kill her, she is being betrayed by me with me taking a chosen Luna, instead of the one that the Goddess gave me, so she is going to be hurt again by me. I heard my phone ping and I turned over to see who it was. Piper is asleep again and I see it is my Beta that I have just assigned to take over as I will be Alpha as soon. Now that I have a mate, I will be taking over our pack as well as Piper’s, as soon as I graduate. I had asked Justin to look out for Gabi for me, as word had gotten back to me from several sources that Heather and her friends had really been abusing Gabi. I can’t do anything from 200 miles away, but I did have Justin kind of keeping an eye out when he could. I read the text and I cannot stop the growl that leaves my throat. That piece of shit. I am going to kill Jack. Gabi almost got raped and my dad did nothing about it. What kind of bullshit is this? The way dad runs things is horrible. It is like we are living in the stone age. I am going to make changes when I am Alpha. I will also warn Jack that he had better never touch Gabi again. I will Alpha command him or get dad to do it if I need to. Dad can make me marry for the betterment of our pack, but I plan on talking Gabi into staying with me. Maybe being my mistress, as I do love her, and want to have pups with her. I will make her a good offer. I will explain to her that I am only mating with Piper for the betterment of our packs. I would choose Gabi, I do care for her a lot, but Dad is right, I cannot mate with an Omega. She will only be good enough to have pups with, but the pups I will have with Piper will be the ones to take over the pack when I go to retire and they have met their mate or made a chosen mate like I am.

I close my eyes and see Gabi’s long dark hair and piercing blue eyes that are absolutely beautiful. Her large breasts, slim waist, and that ass. It is even better than Piper’s ass, and Piper has a great one. I started to get hard again, but Piper is asleep, and I don’t want her to suspect that I am thinking of others girls when I am with her. I told Piper that I would reject my mate, and I would. I will just make sure that Gabi takes on the position of being my mistress. That way, I still have her in my life. I am not giving her up. I wanted her and I knew she was saving herself for her mate. I think of that son of a bitch, Jack, and I know why he was after her, to take her virginity. She must have been terrified. I can’t believe dad told Justin that he should not have hit Jack. He definitely should have, according to Justin, mom went in ahead of him and was shocked as well. I will get it all straight when I get home. I will take care of Jack and his two asshole friends first, then tell dad to leave Gabi alone. Then I will set Gabi down and explain to her why I need to reject her, for the good of the whole pack. She used to love me when we were kids, she will again. I know how badly it hurt her to lose me. That time I choked her was an accident. I didn’t mean to do it, but I couldn’t control myself. It was the Alpha command that my dad did. I still feel bad about it to this day. I will wait until I become Alpha and then explain it to her because unless dad lifts it, and I already know he won’t, I cannot break it to tell her. Especially if he knows that she is my mate. My only option is to wait until I am Alpha, so I won’t be under Alpha command anymore. I turned over and went to sleep. I will protect Gabrielle; she will see that I still love and care for her. I just can’t claim her as I have always dreamed of having a large and powerful pack. I will be having a large packhouse built in between the two packs for me and my family, and Gabi, to live in and house our children in. That way, it would only be a 30-minute run in wolf form to get to either pack. My plan is perfect and I hope that both of them can learn to live with each other. Piper will have the title, but Gabi will have my heart.
