Returning To My Rejected Mate

Shay's Point of View

"So, did Jake tell you about the twins?"

Amy asks, changing the subject and Ryan nods, smiling.

"Yes, he did. He's super excited about it. So what are they having?"

He asks reaching out for Amy's notebook but she swats his hand away.

"Hey! What's that for?"

Ryan frowns at his mate and Amy shakes her head.

"Don't you dare sneak a peak. I'm not telling you. It's meant to be a surprise."

"But you know. And Shay knows. Why can't we know?"

Ryan asks gesturing with his thumb between him and Zane.

Amy arches her brow at him.

"Because Ryan, you can't keep a secret to save your life."

Zane snickers and Ryan glares at him.

"That's not true, I'm great at keeping secrets."

Amy and Zane look at each other before looking back at Ryan and laughing at him.

"Oh shut up both of you. You'll tell me, right Shay?"

I smile at him and shake him head.

"I don't think so. Sorry."

"So you two are really not going to tell us?"

"Nope.."

Amy and I say at the same time and we smile at each other.

Ryan frowns crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in his chair.

"Fine then.. Don't tell me."

He says pouting and Amy pats his arm.

"Awww baby, don't pout. You'll find out this weekend."

"Yeah... With everyone else."

"I'm sorry baby, but I am not taking the chance of you accidentally spilling the beans infront of Megan or Jake. They are really excited about this and they deserve to have a great party." Ryan nods and sighs.

"Yeah okay.. Fine. I'll wait."

"Thank you."

Amy says smiling at him and gives him a quick kiss.

"So are you two done for now? How about we head over to the dining hall for lunch. I'm starving."

Zane asks looking between me and Amy.

I shrug.

"I'm not sure.. I think so. Amy?"

I ask, looking over at her and she looks down at her notes before she nods.

"Yeah. I think were done for now. Let's head to lunch. I'm pretty hungry myself."

She says standing up and I laugh as I get up to, shaking my head at her.

"What? Why are you laughing?"

She asks as we walk to the packhouse.

"You haven't stopped snacking since we had breakfast. And you're still hungry."

Amy shrugs at me.

"What? Recently I just feel super hungry."

"Maybe your pregnant."

I joke and give her a little push.

Both her and Ryan stop in their tracks staring at me before looking at each other.

"Guys, I was just joking."

Ryan shakes his head, motioning for me to be quiet. He squats down, pressing his ear to Amy's stomach. He pulls away.

"Well I'll be damned.."

He whispers, staring up at Amy with a huge smile.

Amy touches her stomach.

"Are you sure?"

Ryan nods, getting up before picking Amy up and spinning her around.

"You're pregnant baby!"

They laugh as he spins her around before he kisses her.

Zane wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer and I willingly go to him. Wrapping

my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest as we watch our friends.

I look up at him to find his eyes already on me.

I give him a smile.

"What?"

He shakes his head, giving me a little smile.

"Just thinking about how we didn't get to have this moment with Zayde. I'm really sorry."

I shake my head, smiling at him.

"I know.. I'm sorry too. But if we're lucky we'll be able to have a moment like this sometime soon."

Zane nods and bends down to kiss me. I go on my tip toes and touch my lips to his.

"Hey! What about not getting any?"

Ryan asks, breaking the moment between us and Zane glares at him.

"Don't remind her."

I laugh, shaking my head and moving away from Zane to go over to Amy and Ryan.

I smile at them hugging Amy.

"Congratulations you two."

Amy smiles, hugging me back.

"Thank you. I can't believe I didn't realize I was pregnant."

I hug Ryan too while Zane hugs Amy.

"We all missed it. Congrats guys."

Zane says,moving away from Amy and shaking Ryan's hand.

"Now we have something else to celebrate!"

I say with a smile and Amy nods.

"Wait, before you two start planning a party. We should probably make an appointment with the doctor first?"

Ryan says looking at Amy and she nods.

"Yes, you're probably right. I'll make an appointment after lunch."

Amy says and we all start making our way back to the dining hall. "Wait, where's Zayde? Is Diana bringing him down?"

I ask Zane as we sit down with our food and he shakes his head at me.

"No, the boys passed out. She'll make them some lunch when they wake up. Also.. I asked her to keep Zayde for the afternoon. I don't want him to see the fight. It was different when it was just a friendly fight between us. But I don't think this is going to be so friendly."

I look at him, thinking before I nod.

"I think that's a good idea. He doesn't need to see that.. Thank you."

He gives me a smile before continuing to eat his food

"So, Shay are you ready for this afternoon?"

I look at Ryan and nod.

"Oh, I'm definitely ready for it."

"It's not going to be easy, you know?"

I nod.

"Yes I know."

"Shay... My father won't go easy on you.. He'll give it everything he's got."

Zane says concerned but I shrug.

"Good.. If it was easy nothing will get sorted out between us. He doesn't know me but decided to make assumptions about me. Today I'll show him how wrong he is about me, and why I was chosen to be this packs Luna."

"Are you sure about this?"

I nod my head and smile at Zane.

"I'm sure. I don't care how hard he goes at me. I'll give it back to him, just as hard. This has to end. The fact that he hates me is being transferred to our son. He is angry at me for the fact that

I kept Zayde away from you all.. But he isn't even trying to spend time with him. He resents Zayde for what I did.. And it's hurting my son. He needs to be put straight. It is unacceptable to treat Zayde like he doesn't belong here."

"You don't have to fight him, Shay. We can try to talk to him."

Zane tries but I shake my head.

"No. If we try to get out of this, it'll only confirm what he thinks of me. Don't worry. I can take

him. Now, can we please just finish our lunch? And not worry about your father and the fight? Everything will be fine."

Zane doesn't look to convinced and I arch my brow at him.

"You don't think I can take him?"

"I just don't want you to get hurt, Shay."

I smile at him, lean over and give him a quick kiss.

"I won't. I'm a good fighter. Today thing thing between myself and your father ends. I will put him

on his ass. You'll see."

Zane still doesn't look convinced but nods.

"Okay, fine. Let's enjoy our lunch."

Ryan and Zane share a look and I just shake my head.

I've been fighting since I was old enough to train. I know I can take him. I feel determination run

through me, I will put him in his place today, I think before I continue to eat my lunch.
