From Rejection to Desire 25
Kit’s POVWell.Clearly, I didn’t think this through.Once again, my irrational behavior has gotten me into an uncomfortable situation.I just wanted to get away for a moment.To let out some frustration.Scream without being heard.To put distance between me and Alpha Tate, who has me feelings things I shouldn’t be and acting like I don’t have a lick of sense.Right now, I feel like a complete idiot.Sitting by the lake, my knees pulled up to my chest, completely nude, and unable to even think about my next move.Because if I think about my next move, I have to shift to my wolf form to go back through the forest for training, which I don’t want to do, because as my wolf, it hurts even worse that I am near my mate, yet I’m not with him.The alternative is to walk around, naked, until I find clothes hidden somewhere, and risk running into everyone from training starting wolf combat somewhere out here.Not ideal. I am still not comfortable with being full on nude around everyone. I’m al

Kit's POVI don’t recall having any conscious thought that I should do it, but my hands seem to act on their own and are now splayed against Tate's sexy torso, greedily moving upward as I meet him the rest of the way to press our lips together.My fingers clutch his shoulders, and his strong hands catch my hips as my body goes weak, hanging onto his as he deepens the kiss, his touch, his scent, everything about him is creating a fire inside of me that I desperately need him to quench.Tate lifts me, wrapping my legs around his waist, pushing my back against the wall, his manhood poking my thigh.I know I shouldn’t…I know it…but there is no rational thought in my head right now. Just mad, uncontrollable desire.Reaching down, I wrap my hand around his thick rod, letting out a moan against his lips as I stroke it’s very impressive girth.“Kit…”Gasping, I pull back, meeting his gaze as I line him up between my legs, giving my hips a wiggle of invitation.I don’t know what has gotten ove

Alpha Tate’s POVDo something…the entire fucking pack is here, watching me, watching how I react to my ex-girlfriend showing up on my doorstep out of the blue.With luggage.The girl that they all think wrecked me.Tore my heart out when she left.Now here she is.Right here in her element, the center of attention.She’s probably hoping I make a scene, to prove that she got under my skin, that just her presence affects me.Wouldn't she just love that.Striding casually towards her, I stop a few feet away and look purposefully at her luggage, then raise my eyebrows at her.“Coming for a visit?”She does that thing where she lowers her head and looks up at me, blinking her heavily painted eyelashes and sticking out her lower lip, her voice a soft whine.“You haven’t seen me in ages, and that’s how you greet me? Don’t I at least get a hug? Or do you hate me that much?”My jaw twitches as I force a tight smile.“No, I don’t hate you. Come here.”Her smile is triumphant as she gives a litt

Kit’s POVIt’s hard for me to know exactly what it is that I am feeling, as I watch Alpha Tate waltz inside, leaving a fuming Sarah on the front porch with all her luggage.Jealousy, for sure, it would be impossible not to.But he didn’t seem too excited to see her…and she wan't welcome to stay in the packhouse with him.Which makes me feel a little relief…maybe a little triumph of my own as she scrunches up her face while Jody walks up to her.“Kit, are you okay?”Cami has made her way to my side, looking at me with concern as she grabs my arm.“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”Shrugging, I try to act as casual as possible, while smoothing my hair at the same time.Sarah really does have phenomenal hair.That bitch.“Oh, well, I just thought…”“So, Kit, shall we go get ready for tonight? I could use a shower. Care to join me?”Colin’s cheery voice sounds a bit forced and I catch him exchanging glances with Jody.And so does Sarah.Her eyes fall on me and I can tell it takes her a second to

Kit's POVMy head jerks around to look at the open office door, Sarah leaning against the frame with her arms crossed over her chest, grinning.“Never knew you to be one who goes back on his decisions, Tate, but here you are, secretly hooking up with your rejected mate. Tsk tsk. Not a good look for an Alpha. And poor Colin…”My stomach sinks to the floor as I watch her push off the doorframe and stride confidently towards us.“Guess now that you aren’t so dumpy, Tate wants a taste. Still don’t think you are truly Luna material, must be why Tate keeps you as a side piece only, and shares you with Colin.”“That’s enough, Sarah.”Her eyebrows raise.“Really? You’re defending her? When we used to make fun of her so much? Remember how we would laugh at how pathetic she looked after you rejected her, as if she didn’t expect it, when you didn’t even know her name!”She cackles and Tate thrusts the glass he is holding into my hand, which I take automatically, even though my hands are shaking.

Kit’s POV“Here.”Tate tosses me a thick throw blanket.“It’s all I could find.”Dabbing the expensive-feeling material over my soaked chest, I sigh.Just when I was starting to relax and enjoy the evening.“You might want to change, that looks a bit like a lost cause. Shame. I didn’t mind you in that dress.”His words send a jolt of excitement through me that I ignore.But I do agree with him, the dress is a lost cause.“Ugh!”My hand holding the blanket falls to my side in defeat.“I’m having Teresa retrieve a new one for you.”“Thanks.”Chewing on my lower lip, I look around the room, anywhere but at him.My eyes fall on the chaise lounger in the center of the small room, then quickly dart away.I wonder if Tate ever hooked up with Sarah on that before.The thought makes me cringe.Why would I even think of that?“Do you want to sit?”“No, I’m fine.”“Do you want me to leave you alone?”Yes. No? I don’t even know anymore.Trying to buy some time to think, I undo the apron from arou

Alpha Tate’s POV“I told you not to say anything!”“I didn’t! I didn’t say one word about the two of you. I just told him someone was requesting drinks in here, but I guess I led him to the wrong room…” She bares her teeth in a fake grimace. “Whoopsie!”“You need to get the hell out of my sight!”Sarah puts her hands on her hips.“I don’t know what you’re all mad at me for. I didn’t do anything wrong. You were the one hooking up with that loser Colin is dating-”“She is not a loser and don’t you ever speak about her in that way!”My words come through gritted teeth, anger at the nerve of this terrible woman I can't believe I ever thought I was in love with is coursing through my body.She holds her palms up, her eyes glinting.“Damn. Never thought you would be a weak Alpha. Here I came back because I missed having a strong, sexy man who never backs down. But look at you. Getting all knotted up over a reject.”Closing the space between us in three strides, I put my face close to hers.

Alpha Tate’s POVGlancing darkly at the closet door rattling in a rhythmic pattern, I decide it’s time to call it a night.In the morning, I will let Kit reject me back.I was fooling myself to even think that she might ever want to be with me.There is no way to earn her love like she has for Colin, who never damaged her like I did.To hear the way that she explained how she truly feels about me…a resistant attraction that she despises, and how she not only adores, but loves and desires to be with Colin and only him…I cannot put her through that torment anymore.She deserves happiness. Even if it isn’t with me.And I don’t deserve my mate at all after what I have done to her.Slamming my bedroom door shut, I consider working out, getting all the frustration out.But that doesn’t seem enough.Maybe more alcohol?There isn’t enough in this giant house to make me forget how I feel about Kit.My eyes fall on my bed.Perhaps that is the distraction I need, but not Sarah.Never her.Not af
