Rejected, but not Broken
Chapter 60

Derek’s POV

Piper is driving me crazy. I am so sick of hearing about this f*****g Luna ceremony. She will not shut up about it. That is all she has been talking about since I brought her here 5 months ago, during spring break. I wonder what the hell she is going to talk about once Saturday gets here and we are done with it.

I wish to the Goddess that I had just mated and marked Gabi, to hell with my dad. He has been furious since she left. I am actually glad mom got her out now, as dad has been sleeping with Omegas that are Gabi’s age from the kitchen, and I fear that if she does come back, he will try to force her to sleep with him.

If that happens, or Jack tries to attack her again, I swear to the Goddess, that I will kill them both and not think a thing about it. Piper is never ready on time, for anything, and she knew we were three and a half hours away from the party at Crimson Shadow. Piper thought my speeding could overcome it. We were almost 2 hours late for the party when we got there.

Piper will probably be late for her own Luna ceremony. So, we didn’t even get to see her friend Taylor that night. Imagine my surprise the next morning when I found out that the “Taylor” that I had slept with around Christmas, was actually Gabi’s sister, It was right before I met Piper, so I didn’t cheat on her with Taylor, but Piper was super pissed when she found out that I had dated and regularly slept with Heather.

Her finding out that I had Alpha commanded Heather to not tell her, well, that was a bad night. I just saw her at a party, and she looked like Gabi. I knew Gabi was my mate at that time, and I wanted her.

Taylor saw me too and was all in on being with me, but now that I know she is Gabi’s sister, it will not be happening again. They are both beautiful women, but Gabi is the only nice person between the two of them. I still don’t know how Gabi ended up being in our pack.

I asked dad, and he said that Claire and Percy must have taken her from Crimson Shadow, but that can’t possibly be right. I knew them both and they wouldn’t have done that. Mom has been staying in her office or with Justin.

She refuses to help Piper and said Piper should have learned to be a Luna from her mom, or from the training she went through at Alpha school.

I don’t have the heart to tell mom that Alpha training is basically a hook-up place with some occasional training going on. Piper really only wants to be the Luna in name only, and plan parties, that’s it. She doesn’t want to do the day-to-day work, and that is just going to have to pile up on me.

She isn’t going to be a proper Luna like she should have been, she just wants to do the fun stuff, and to hell with the rest of it. I wish I could push my job duties off too, but I can’t. Our pack would fall apart, and it probably will be anyway. Dad has pissed away the savings we had, and that money was from mom anyway.

They used to fight a tot when I was around eleven and she told him then, that if he pissed the pack funds away again, she would not put any more money back into it. Dad knew this, and I guess he is banking on mom feeling nicely towards me and giving me the funds to keep it running because he ran it right back into the ground.

Millions were put into that account, and we have nothing to show for it. I have no idea what he did with it. I am hoping that the River Bed pack has some coffers, because if they don’t, I may have the shortest run in the history of being an Alpha.

Dad is waiting until right before the Luna ceremony to turn the pack over to me. He has been acting really strangely for the last 2 months, ever since Gabi came back and accepted my rejection.

I don’t know what is going on with him. He locks himself up in the office for long periods of time and I am worried about him. He is worse than he has ever been and when I ask mom, she said that he is about to get what he deserves, and then she smiles. It’s weird, and I don’t know what is going on.

Since I saw her at Taylor’s birthday party, Gabi is all I can think about. Gabi, with her beautiful face and beautiful deep-blue eyes. Standing there look absolutely perfect in her blue evening gown. I remember when I first caught sight of her, as she was sitting closer to the stage than we were because we got there late.

I didn’t know who it was at the time, and I was very interested, but that Alpha had her wrapped up, and she didn’t go to the bathroom alone either. I was so busy looking at her, that I didn’t even recognize my own mom and aunt were with the group. In my defense, they were looking better than they normally do, and Gabi just kept my eyes on her.

I remember when I saw her out there dancing with the Alpha and then after their slow dance, his friends came over to dance as a group. They were having a great time and then I saw her smile and I sat up straight, “that is Gabi”, my wolf Hunter told me, and he growled in my head.

He didn’t like seeing her dancing with the other Alpha, and I had to agree with him. He has been super pissed with me since I rejected her. I was an it. “You better make this right, or you are going to be the weakest Alpha in history,” Hunter told me in mindlink.

“I would give it up to be with her” I linked him back.

“Then tell her, because she is coming right now,” Hunter told me and I feel him pushing out towards Gabi, to try to link with Tala. Theard Heather talking to Piper, as she saw Gabi coming near us and she couldn’t believe it was her either.

Apparently, Heather and Piper, both knew who the Alpha was, and they were jealous of Gabi too and were really ugly to her. I told Gabi that I would give up being an Alpha, which is actually unheard of, to have her be my mate again. It was a great offer, but the look than came onto her face, she was disgusted at my offer, and she shot me down hard. I cannot believe that it was over, just like that.

I loved Gabi, I just had to do what dad had told me to do, it was for the good of the whole pack. I don’t know why she refuses to see that So, I made up a plan. I saw mom felt a little bad for me, and I waited for mom to go take her bubble bath.

She told me to come to see her at midnight, I knew she would be in the bath for an hour, she does it all the time, as she takes her wine and a book with her. All I had to do was wait for Piper to go get in the tub.

I ran into Heather, who also knew Piper was going to be busy in her bubble bath, as she asked me into her room, but I can’t anymore. I only have s*x with Piper now, but I have to think of Gabi to do it.

When I was in high school, and Alpha training, I used to sleep with anyone and everyone, but now I can’t. I feel like I am being punished by the Goddess these days. NEED Gabi back, she is the only one that I want, I want her and only her. To mate with, to have pups with, to run my pack with.

I already know that Gabi would have been the perfect Luna, she is kind and compassionate, and she actually cares about other people. I screwed up so badly, and I get no sympathy from mom about it. She said, “ You made your bed, lie in it”. I wish I knew then, what I know now.

I would not have made such a terrible choice. Just hearing Piper speak, is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I almost wish we could get attacked so mom could call in Uncle Heath’s team, to train the packs. I want to see her so bad. I know if I could just get some time with her, I could talk her into coming back to me.

I know she used to love me, she could again, I know it, I saw it in her eyes, right before I took her joy away by rejecting her. I punched the wall, just seeing that hurt look on her face, right before she passed out, I swear I would take it back if I could do it again. I know what that pain feels like because I felt it when she accepted the rejection.

I call her every single day at Ever Green, but she won’t speak to me. I have driven there three times and all three time’s uncle Heath told me to go back to my pack, that he will not allow me to hurt Gabi. I actually think that uncle Heath and aunt Von think Gabi is theirs now, and she is not, she is MINE.

Seeing her in her PJs, with her bre*asts pressed up tight against the fabric, every time I shut my eyes that is what I see. I could see her ns and their dusky pink color was hypnotizing.

I am still angry that the other Alpha was who she was actually waiting on, that she didn’t want me anymore, she wants him. I have to figure out a way to change that. I adjust myself and I am glad I am alone in the office as I clearly have a problem now.

I heard a knock on the door, about a minute later. and I called out for them to come in. I stood behind my chair, as I won’t be able to sit down right now, and Piper walks in. Good, maybe I can catch her before she speaks, and I will bend her over my desk and get this over with to get some relief.

I capture her l!ps in a passionate k!ss and Piper smiles up at me happy that I am so excited to see her, she is even happier with seeing that I am ready to go, and she is all in with this.

That was the reason we started hooking up in the first place. She was good to go at the drop of a hat, but these days she is having to work more for it, and it is making her mad.

She slides her underwear off, and then she bends over my desk and flips her short skirt up over her as*s. I noticed that she has her rounded as*s tilted up the way she knows I like it. She spreads her legs further apart and wiggles her as*s at me in an offering as she looks over her shoulder at me.

That used to do it for me, that little as*s wiggle of hers, but not anymore. I am suddenly angry with the whole thing, I feel like dad, and Piper, got me roped into this and I am mad, and need to work off my anger, it is OK, Piper likes it a little rough, and it will make her even happier.

I undo my jeans and push them down the corded muscles in my thighs along with my underwear and I give my d!ck one pump and then I drag the tip of it down Piper’s slit. She is soaked and really excited at seeing the “old” Derek back again.

I push her shoulders down on the desk because her hair is dark, just like Gabi’s and I no longer want to see her face. I am picturing Gabi face down on my desk and I am ready to go, and I am harder than I have ever been before.

I do one more drag through her folds and kick her legs a little further apart from each other and then thrust into her hard. I heard Piper call out, “Oh Goddess Yes” and I start pounding into her, and I wish she would stay quiet. She is really messing up my rhythm here, as I need to stay focused on her being Gabi.

I lean over her and lift her up a little from the desk so I can start stroking her cl!t and when she comes, the tightening up will help me to come.

I keep hearing Piper talking to me and that is just not working for me. I push her chest back down on the desk, and I take my middle finger from her cl!t and slip it into her mouth for her to get the message. She promptly got the message and stops talking and she starts sucking hard on my finger as she keeps moaning low in her throat.

Now this, this I can work with. Still looks like I have Gabi, and her sucking on my finger, I have to say, it feels pretty good. I start messing with her by slowing up my strokes for a little while and then thrusting back into her.

We haven’t slept together in the last 5 weeks, I haven’t wanted to sleep with her, and she was mad at me for finding out I had dated and slept with Heather, a lot. In fact, she doesn’t speak with Heather anymore. speed up again and I can tell she is close, she is making a lot more noise in her throat, and I use both hands on her waist as I continue my stroke.

I feel Piper clamp down on my d!ck as she comes and that allows me to finish as well. I feel very relaxed now, as it has been a minute since we got together.

Piper straightens up and gives me a smile and a k!ss, and then bends over to grab her underwear and slides it back on. She stays standing there near the door and looking at me, and I sit down in my chair and ask her, “Did you need something else?”

“Well, I came in here to tell you that since I cannot get any help from anyone else here, Taylor will be coming in early to help me. She will be here either Monday or Tuesday” Piper tells me.

I nod at her, there is nothing that I need to do about that. I wasn’t informed, so guess they told dad already. She already acted like she didn’t know me already when we “met” each other the morning after her party, so that is good for the both of us.

“I am glad you are getting help from your friend, I know you are excited about it. Your friends are welcome to come here anytime. I believe they told dad, as I haven’t heard anything about this yet, but dad is still technically the Alpha until our ceremony” I told her. Piper is all smiles now as she leaves the office and goes to do, the Goddess knows what.

I lean back in my chair and wonder what day the rogues will be showing up. The letters continue to come in, and I know that they are entirely serious about attacking, and I have to say, I am ready for them to get here, maybe I will get lucky, and they will take Piper back to their lair, or just kill her annoying self, outright.

They can put me out of my misery by showing up, so my beautiful Gabi can come here and help us by training our packmembers. I lean back in my chair and put my feet up and think about how I can talk Gabi into coming back to be mine.
