Conflict and rejection

I could smell her before I was able to see her. She was agitated. I don't know why she was here? But whatever the reason the timing was bad. I don't want her to be seen by Mike. His visit was getting concluded. I want him gone from my home. Her being here could complicate things. She was only two doors away. If I wanted I could have stopped her. But then I'm sure she would never forgive me. I stood there rooted to my stop not moving. I controller my breathing so I don't shift in front of Mike. Sometimes onslaught of emotions force us to shift.

"Let me go", I could her her voice. Tony looked at me anxiously. I knew he was waiting for my direction. I nodded at his direction he moved to fetch my Luna to me. I knew things are going to get complicated. From the tensions on our face Mike decided that there was something wrong. He is very perceptive about things like that. She came escorted by Tony. She didn't look chirpy. She looked very sad and lost. It was not a good impression on Mike but at this point I don't care. If she wanted to see me at any place any time I will see her and I trusted her.

"Hello Luno", Mike greeted her.

She managed a weak smile at him. I took a calming breath so that I would be able to keep my head cooler for whatever that was going to happen now.

"You don't look good. Is everything OK?" , he asked her.

"It is so nice to see you. I didn't know you were coming here", she told. I could see Seb didn't trust her from the look she gave her. I should have a talk with him soon. He shouldn't show disrespect towards her publicly or privately. He needs to pay with his life for such a crime.

"Are you OK. You didn't answer my question", said Mike.

"I don't know what to tell you", said my mate. I was getting stressed.

"I think she wants to talk to me", I told Mike. But she didn't reply but looked away.

"She doesn't look good like the last time I saw her. I think she needs to talk to me. Can you guys give us some privacy? ", asked Mike.

"What do you mean by that? She is our Luna and mother. We takes good care of her", said Tony.

"I don't argue with any of that claims but I need to talk to her. She looks distressed. Don't forget she is still a human", said Mike.

"Let them talk. But we can't give you privacy unless we walk out of the building but we won't do that. She is my wife and Luna. She had to be protected", I told him.

"That sounds fair but we need to talk and we need to be alone. You can stay outside the door and wait for us", said Mike. I nodded my head in agreement.

I walked out first followed by everyone. We all were very much tensed. I waited and inspite of what I want my ears strained to hear what was going inside. The room was sound proof but I could still gather bits and pieces to get a general idea of what was happening inside. I knew Mike was a decent man. He will stick to his words and that is exactly what I was afraid of he won't go back on his word. If he promises something to her even if the hell broke lose there is nothing that could stop him from fulfilling that promise. We were bound by law to honor his words and I would have if he didn't cause any rift between us.

"Tell me what happened? ", he asked in a soothing voice.

"I miss my friends especially Liz. I want to see her", she said.

"Are you sure about that but what about your husband? The last time I was here you didn't want to leave him", he said.

"The last time I was a jealous fool not wanting to leave the guy whom I love too much", she said.

"So what happened to that love ?", he asked.

"Still there. But I want to start loving myself too. I'm afraid I'm lost in my own feelings that I can't see myself without him", she said. I could hear the unspoken tears beneath that voice.

"You have convinced me child. There is nothing that is going to stop me from taking you from here. Your husband had to answer a lot of questions before I finally return you to him", he said.

I was a freaking mess. Mike had just stepped into uncharted territory. He had no idea what he is in for? I will fucking kill him before let him take her away from me.

"I know you are all listening get back here. I need to talk to you and especially your alpha", said Mike.

Lana opened the door for me. I got in slowly controlling my emotions. My nostrils were already flaring I could see my wolf baring his teeth at the thought of taking his mate away. I feel the same buddy at last we reached an agreement.

"You shouldn't provoke Alpha Mike. You know he won't be able to check on his emotions and might shift accidentally hurting you", said Lana.

"He is a big boy. He knows how to control himself especially when his mate is standing a little too close ", said Mike.

"Mike you know this breaks the treaty. You have assured me that you won't interfere in my life here", I told him.

"I'm not but that doesn't mean that I will look past you mistreating your wife. As long as she is a human she remains in my territory. Her safety is my first priority ", said Mike.

Everyone could see a fight breaking out almost clearly. I clenched my mouth shut. I was slowly shaking not able to stop.

"Aidan please let me go. If you have ever loved me", said she softly.

I took a huge breath and tried to calm down. I could hear my wolf wailing at my mate's rejection.

"Let us go if you don't want to cause an outbreak of conflict right now", said Mike.
