Chapter 53 - Rejected

Nicolai could not move. All his limbs froze over. "y-you're the alpha king... you're... Wolfie, are you telling the truth.."

"Yes it's me," Wolfie smirked. "my mate..." he rubbed his face against his chest.

Nicolai stiffly touched his back. 'he...he is the alpha king... he is the one....who... who destroyed my kind.....'

It was very easy to understand actually. Dylan is alpha lowe's son and right after he was born the war began. The werewolves started to wreak havoc. The clues were all right in front of his face. yet he refused to acknowledge it.

His beloved was the person he wanted to kill.

He stiffly pushed him away. "You're the alpha king.."

"Yes..yes." he continued rubbing again his hand, spreading his cedar wood scent all over his arms.

Nicolai blankly stood up and walked over to the table. The stun gun he carried had been hazardously thrown on top of it. He subtly picked it up. "You're the one I was searching for,"

"I was searching for you too," Wolfie happily walked over to him and hugged him tightly.

"My friends.. They are here?"

"Yes they are here," he excitedly touched his cheeks.

"They are children can.. Can you let them go?" he showed him a fake pitiful look.

"Definitely! Anything you say! Killian! Come in here,"

The same dark-haired man came in with a questioning look.

"Go free the vampires."

"Send them back home," Nico whispered into his ear. "Won't you do it for me?"

He felt Dylan visibly gulp. "a-arrange a ship for them. They are all leaving here safely. See to it,"

"Yes alpha," the guy named Killian frowning looked his way.

Nicolai blankly glanced back. "My Wolfie.... tell him to leave,'

"Go! What are you still doing here..." Wolfie grabbed his waist tightly.

His hands moved on its own and he had already placed the taser gun on the back of his neck. "You're the Alpha king,"

"Nico?" he glanced down, totally confused. Like an innocent child he peered down at him. "What's wrong..."

"Everything," Nico shot him.

He watched as Dylan convulse and fall to the ground.

Silently he pushed his arms away and walked over to the window. "You're the alpha king..."

"Nico.. Nico... wait... where? Where are you going... don't.. d-don't leave me.... don't leave me..."

Nicolai opened the window and peered back at him. "I can't be with you.. You're the alpha king,"

"What does that even mean? You're my mate! You're my mate!!"

"But I don't want you as my beloved..."

"No..." Dylan crawled over to him. "You ... you said you will be with me. You said you will take care of me,"

Nicolai coldly looked down at him and shot him with the taser gun again. "That was before I knew who you were... my Dylan is the alpha king... I can't believe it," he started to climb onto the huge branch.

"No no! no! You're not leaving me! I won't allow you to leave me!" he stood up and grabbed onto his leg. "Nico.. I waited thousand years for you. You can't leave me now. please.. you can't leave me,"

Nicolai coldly kicked his hand away. "Thousand years .... YOU HAD THOUSAND YEARS TO CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE! You had thousand years yet you coldly watched as MY KIND got slaughtered by YOUR KIND."

Dylan froze. "N-Nico... it's..."

"You had THOUSAND YEARS yet you didn't make any changes! Nothing!!!"

"Vampires enslaved werewolves.. they.. they were suppressed... I..."

Nicolai almost slapped his stupid face. "But we didn't beat you into EXTINCTION!!!! You.... you can give me all reasons you want.. But what you did is unforgivable."

He took a deep breath. The words that lingered on the tip of his tongue really made his heart pound so loud. He.. he never imagined this would be his fate..he was stuck with a mate that committed genocide.

Coldly, he peered into his panicked blue eyes. "Dylan, no, alpha king, I reject you as my beloved. You're nothing but a crappy king and a whiny wolf. Fuck I don't want to see your face. Don't ever touch my friends. Next time I will come at you with a real gun. And I promise you I won't hesitate even a bit to shoot you down."

He crawled back in and stiffed his nose with the chloroform towel. He watched coldly as Dylan collapsed to the ground. Even so, he had his eyes wide open looking his way.

"Goodbye Dylan," he crawled out of the room.

Something in his heart told him to glance back. but Nico held back that urge. He did not want to look back any longer. He did not want his beloved... whose hands were stained with so many vampire's blood.

He met up with his brothers by the entrance of the house.

"Nico!" Elijah ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Oh my god Nico!" raven, Avery and the others ran to him and joined the group hug.

Nico could not even hug them back. his mind was filled by that sorrowful gaze Dylan had in his eyes. 'No... I can't forgive him... won't forgive him. But he is my beloved.... why god why.. why are you doing this to us.' he silently cried.

Raven felt his shoulders trembling and gave him a questionable look. "You okay?"

"No...." Nicolai hugged him tightly. "I'm not... I'm not okay..."

The werewolf named Killian was standing with them.

"Let's go home," he peered at Killian. "Where is our ship..."

"At the port... even if alpha king decided against releasing them I would have helped them out secretly.... Wolfie is very impulsive and Dylan is a child who lost everyone.. I hope you can understand and forgive him Luna. Our alpha is not a bad person,"

Nicolai sniffled wiping the tears from his face. "Where is our ship?"

"I'll lead you to it," he led them away.

The port was, of course, filled with werewolves who were finally gazing up at them. a few of them were confused, few hostile, and a few neutral. Their expressions said it all. They were not welcomed here. They were vampires. The enemy.

Nicolai stopped in front of the ship that had huge sails and rowers. They were all human though some of them gazed in their direction with fear.

"Get in," Nicolai helped everyone get onto the ship.

A heart-wrenching scream was heard behind them. The ground started to tremble violently.

Nicola frowned. "It's an earthquake. Quick, everyone, get on board." He hurried them along. Glancing back, he noticed Killian and the other standing there looking towards the pack house in shock.

Killian looked up at him. "Dylan....what did you do to him..."

"What had to be done." Nicolai got into the ship. He watched as the port got farther and farther away.

The wolves all ran towards the pack house hurriedly.

Nico closed his eyes. it was done. He had accomplished what he came for. He let out a silent sob. 'I have finally broken my beloved..... I have finally lost him....'

The waves were turbulent and they were crashing into their ship pushing and pulling it as it went.

Nicolai blankly peered at the distant land. 'Dylan... I can't kill you. How could I kill you? Instead, I'm leaving you. When you stood ignorant of the genocide, you made the choice.

"Nico..." Raven got close to him. "Hey.. What happened? You don't look good... is it your heart?"

Nico collapsed in his arms. "It is my heart... I tore it open..." he sobbed silently.

Even from this distance, he could still hear his heart-wrenching screams.

His pounding heart stopped beating in a second's time.

"What happened Nico.. Did you kill that alpha king? did you shoot him?" matt hopefully glanced at him.

Nicolai opened and closed his mouth, but he could not speak. "I..I..."

Raven gave him a look. "Calm down Nico. You don't have to talk."

"Tell me! Did you shoot him!" matt shouted.

"Shut up Matt! Let Nico be!"

Nicolai shook his head. "No. I didn't shoot him.. how could I... how could I have..."

"Fuck it was our only chance! He could have shot him!!" he shouted again.

"He had a taser gun! It's not a real gun! He risked his life for you all so shut it and let him be!"

"No, you shut it! Our lives were the ones at risk because of HIM," matt shouted prancing around. "We could have killed him. We could have killed the alpha king. he... he needs to die... he must die... it's all because of you! You could have killed him!!!" he grabbed Nico's shoulders.

"It is my fault….." Nicolai glanced up at him with his tear-stained face. "I... I didn't shoot him.... but I did something worse...I tore his heart... Dylan..my Dylan.... I broke him..."
