The Perfect Rejection Twelve
For the first time in over a week, I woke up alone. A frown crept onto my face as I listened for any movement in the bathroom, but Xavier wasn't even upstairs—it didn't even sound like he was in the house. My stomach twisted. There were a million possible reasons he left before I woke up, but I couldn't stop focusing on the fact that it hadn't happened before. Every day he would wake me up and tell me if he had to leave, he would even ask if I wanted to go with him. I slipped out of bed and trudged to the bathroom, regretting my decision to get up almost instantly. It was starting to get colder and apparently my wolf still wasn't strong enough so it bugged the hell out of me. Everyone else was totally fine, even in the snow, but I've been shivering constantly since the leaves started to drop. Xavier moved my toothbrush and comb into his bathroom at some point, so I only returned to my room when I needed clean clothes. I brushed my teeth and took a shower, cranking up the water as ho
The Perfect Rejection Thirteen
He shushed me gently, cradling me in his arms as he settled onto the bed. It took me a while to stop sobbing; I know Xavier was trying to soothe me but it almost made me cry harder. "You're safe here, I'm not going anywhere I promise," he kept whispering in my ear, smoothing down my hair. I wanted to believe him but I knew it would just get me hurt. He'll leave or hurt me eventually. Everyone does. "I'm sorry I left without telling you this morning. I thought it would be better to let you sleep instead of bombarding you with that kind of information." "It scared me," I admitted, my throat raw and my voice hoarse. His arms tightened a little and he pressed a long kiss onto my head. "That was my mistake, little wolf, it won't happen again," he said. His dipped his head down to catch my gaze. "And it's okay if you don't believe that yet." "I'm trying," I told him. That was the truth. Every part of me screamed not to trust him but I still wanted to deep down. It was so unbelievabl
The Perfect Rejection Fourteen
“How are you feeling?” I sighed. “Like I challenged my alpha, and lost,” I mumbled with a groan as I shifted on the bed. Laian laughed, nodding his head. “Yeah, I bet. I’ve fought Erys before, your wolf is stupidly brave,” he commented. The corner of my lip quirked up as he settled himself in the chair beside my bed. “Is that his wolf’s name?” He nodded again. “Mine’s name is Luka. What about yours?” “Aetrix.” His eyebrow popped up. “That’s a curious name for a female,” he commented, his gaze questioning. It was my turn to nod. “He’s male, not sure why but that’s our guess on why he’s so difficult to control. He went on a killing spree after I shifted for the first time, so I never shifted again.” “Until you got here?” “Yeah, pretty much. And now it’s a problem because Xavier has barely been able to keep my wolf subdued even though he’s still really weak. I’m scared,” I admitted. Laian offered me his hand. I carefully took it, feeling my heartbeat calm a little. “To be fair,
The Perfect Rejection Fifteen - Xavier
Xavier "I'm not sure she'll ever be comfortable around me again." He snorted derisively. "Oh, don't be dramatic, that girl has seen more shit than maybe even you. She's not going to tuck her tail between her legs and run for the hills just because she saw what you're capable of." "She knows I can do even worse than that; she knows I was holding back to protect her," I muttered. "So what?" I clenched my jaw. "So? Daniel, she's terrified of me now. I attacked her. I hurt her. She won't trust me anymore and with everything that's happening with her old pack, that's dangerous," I growled. "I need her to trust me. She is so much more powerful than anyone realizes and if her former mate figures it out, then he'll do whatever it takes to get her by his side." "You really think so?" I throw him a hard glare. "Yes, I really do." A sharp knock forced my attention to the door. A familiar scent crossed my nose. Laian. I closed my eyes and slowly let out a heavy breath, desperately trying t
The Perfect Rejection One
I knew the 'worst day of your life' was supposed to be relative, but, what would you call it when every single day seemed to be the worst day of your life? Normal, I guess. His slap left a harsh sting across my cheek. I fell back hard onto my tailbone, pressing my hand to my face to relieve some of the burning. My eyes were watering but I blinked back the tears. He hated it when I cried. "I apologize Gamma, it won't happen again," I gritted out, locking my eyes onto his shoes. My head was bowed so low that my neck was starting to ache. "I know it won't," he sneered. He grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked me upward. I cried out at the pain that shot through my scalp; my hands grappled with his to relieve some of the pressure but he was moving too fast. I struggled to stay standing as he dragged me through the hallway of the pack house. Tears ran down my face as I put pressure on my foot—there was no way it wasn't broken at this point. My eyes flew wide when we approached a he
The Perfect Rejection Two
"You stupid slut, why haven't you died already?" It took everything I had to not roll my eyes at the way she flipped her hair. It was like she thought talking to an omega made her superior somehow. I clenched my jaw and turned away, desperately trying to ignore her and her ridiculous posse of wolves. I made it only a few steps before someone grabbed my arm. I turned, then a hand cracked across my face. My butt hit the linoleum floor and I heard the cafeteria go dead silent. I felt my lip split open and a strangled gasp escaped my throat. I looked up to see our future Alpha glaring at me distastefully. My hand flew up to touch my bleeding lip and I crawled back a little, fear pounding through me. "How dare you disrespect your future Luna?" he snarled. I immediately dropped my gaze to the floor and bowed my head deeply in submission. "I apologize Alpha, and Luna for my disrespect," I whimpered, his presence making my shoulders hunch over in defeat. "Now make yourself scarce before
The Perfect Rejection Three
The second the bell rang, I rushed out of the classroom. I darted into the girls' bathroom, praying he was not mad enough to follow me. I sat down on the floor and hugged my knees to my chest. I buried my face in my knees and took deep breaths to try to calm myself. "Did you really think hiding in here would work?" The terror siezed me completely and suddenly I couldn't stop shaking. "Liam, please don't," I whispered, my voice breaking. "You are a pathetic, worthless omega, you deserve everything I give you!" He snarled, grabbing my hair and yanking me to my feet. "You took everything from me, you're the reason they're naming Derek tonight and not me!" "They were my parents too, it isn't my fault they're gone," I sobbed. He smacked me hard across the face and my cries grew louder. I tasted blood in my mouth and gagged. He let go of my hair but not before shoving my head against the tile wall. "It is your fault, you were the one who killed them." I could barely see and I was on
The Perfect Rejection Four
"You ready to tell me what the hell they did to you in that pack?" Alpha Harke asked me for the third day in a row. "No," I replied and shoved a forkful of eggs into my mouth. I nearly moaned at the taste. It was delicious, but I could only eat a few bites before I was full. "Roxanne you have to tell me eventually," he urged. My nose wrinkled. "Fine," I growled, roughly tossing my fork onto my plate. I stood up and put my dishes in the sink before sitting down on the couch. "Alpha Harke—" I started to say as he sat down beside me but he cut me off. "Just call me Xavier," he chuckled, a small smile on his lips. "Sorry, Xavier, look I—" I paused, rubbing my temples with a groan of frustration. "I have no idea how to talk about this. It's a really long story and it doesn't make much sense." He leaned over to rest his elbows on his knees. "Just start at the beginning Roxanne, I have all the time in the world right now. I just want to know who you are and why you were trying to escap
