Amber’s POVThe vase that had once adorned a side table near the sliding doors of the patio now lay in shards against the far wall. Her fists were still clenched by her side as anger flowed through her veins. Her hair was disheveled and her mouth was set in a grim line.None of her plans had worked so far. Why, after six years, did Troy suddenly decide to move on and with an arranged bride? She might have understood it better if he’d fallen in love with someone, dated and then decided to take the leap into marriage.Her wolf had retreated that day in Troy’s suite. That woman’s scent was all over the place, infuriating her wolf. What was so special about the slut in any way? She knew they didn’t love each other, Troy had told her, so why?It didn’t make sense. They were fated to be together and if Justin had just kept it in his pants then she would have been Luna by now. She was the rightful Luna and no two-bit slag from wherever was going to change that.A knock on her suite door star

Reese’s POVAnother week had gone by and Reese had noticed the subtle change in the Omegas behaviour. She kept to her routine, went for her run in the mornings, ate breakfast with Drake and Troy and then showered and went down to her office.Her diary had finally been filled with her first five appointments and she was excited to see what would happen. She was the Luna now and it was only right that some of Troy’s workload was assigned to her, she wanted to help.Reese wasn’t bothered by the odd looks at first or the whispers that seemed to follow her, nobody was outright rude to her or anything but something definitely felt off. Amber had kept to her word after her discussion with Troy.She sat at a normal table with Katherine and some warriors, bowed her head when she or Troy entered the dining hall and made no snotty remarks about them. It was a relief really.Reese hummed a tune in her head as she headed downstairs and on a whim decided to go to Troy’s office first. He’d left earl

Drake’s POVDrake stood under the water in his shower and lifted his head into the spray. He was tired, somewhat depressed and bored. Troy was being kept busy with international investors, King Maxim and their other businesses.He needed to find his mate, his wolf was already agitated and becoming more ruthless as time went by. He travelled with Troy, extensively and on his own. It’s been years and he’d started to believe that she was dead or had taken a chosen mate. He’d never know.It was still early when he headed to the Alpha office and read the text Troy had sent him. He had three business meetings in the city and would only be back late that night. He settled in behind his desk and opened his laptop.He hated paperwork, he preferred field work, fighting, loved the bloodlust that surged through his wolf’s veins, loved the hunt and the thrill of being in the midst of battle. Peace was good too, but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t sometimes wish that a group of rogues would brea

Troy’s POVTroy leaned over the bed and kissed Reese’s forehead as she slept. He left the suite and met Drake in the small foyer. He was still in his pajamas and he handed Troy a travel mug of coffee. “Let me know when you get there.”“Don’t let Reese eat alone in the dining hall. Amber’s been playing nice but just for in case,” Troy said.Drake nodded his head and grinned as Troy stepped into the elevator. “So, no kissing?”Troy chuckled and raised his middle finger as the doors slid closed. Two warriors waited for him by the front door of the packhouse and one opened the door of the SUV they’d be traveling in. Troy slid into the backseat and looked up at the large sliding doors on the balcony of his suite.There was no light on and he felt satisfied that he hadn’t woken Reese. She spent too much time in her lab and even Julian struggled to coax her out of it. She only left if Troy himself went to get her for lunch or dinner.They drove the two hours to the city in silence and stoppe

Reese’s POVReese and Drake sat in the kitchen of the Alpha Suite and stared at nothing in particular. Reese was still pissed off and it seemed so was Drake. They hadn’t heard from Troy and it was nearing dinner time so she walked to the fridge and took out a chilled bottle of wine.“I don’t want Julian as my Gamma anymore. I don’t care about his position or if he was born into it or whatever but I don’t want him near me,” Reese said.Drake stood up and took the bottle from her hands and proceeded to open it. “Don’t worry about that. Julian will be lucky if Troy lets him stay in the pack after that stunt.”“Anything from Troy?” Reese asked but she knew the answer to that already. Drake’s phone was on the counter and hadn’t made a peep in hours.Drake poured her a glass of wine and left it out on the counter. He had a feeling she was going to empty the whole thing. Reese gave him a brief smile and emptied the glass in one swallow. It was going to be a long day.“You should eat somethin

Troy’s POVTroy tilted his head upwards, letting the scalding water beat down on him. He was pissed off, so pissed off that if he’d let his wolf take over, they’d be picking Amber up in pieces. He’d woken up that morning, naked and in her bed.He could smell her scent all over him and even though his memories were fuzzy and everything seemed hazy, he knew he’d had sex with her. He could smell it in the air, smell it on her and in an instant he’d had her pinned down on the bed, choking the life out of her.He’d stopped just before he’d cracked her windpipe, fuming with rage. “I’ll fucking end you for this.”With that he’d stormed out of her suite only to find Drake in his room with Reese. He’d known why he was there, but he didn’t have to be happy about it. Amber had clearly drugged him and he needed Reese to hear him out.Amber had made him a cheater and now Reese hated him. He hated himself and he was surprised Drake hadn’t taken a swing at him. He toweled himself dry in the bathroom
Once rejected, twice shy Chapter Thirty-Eight
Reese’s POVShe had promised herself she wouldn’t cry in front of him. She loathed his presence, loathed that she craved his presence. Asshole! She sat in her office and willed herself not to cry. He’d slept with Amber, his mate. She should’ve expected it, she should’ve known it would happen.Why was she so unlovable? She hated how much it hurt and how much his voice made her feel safe and warm. She wasn’t safe with him and she cursed the mark on her shoulder, cursed Troy and his stupid penis too.Her office door opened and she froze but sagged backwards in relief when it was Drake that stepped inside. “Luna Madden …”“Don’t fucking call me that!”Drake smiled and then straightened himself. “Luna Reese, Alpha Troy is waiting in the foyer for you. We’re ready to leave.”“You’re coming with us?” Reese was hopeful because she really didn’t want to be alone with Troy, anywhere.“You’re short a Gamma since Troy transferred him to Stone Link,” Drake said and chuckled.“What’s wrong with Sto
Once rejected, twice shy Chapter Thirty-Nine
Bryan’s POVThe scent of blood filled his nostrils as he stood under the scalding water in his shower. Beta Willowby had put up a good fight but he was older now and no match for an Alpha, not a young one in shape like Bryan was.The stupid Beta had refused to tell him who Reese was supposed to marry. He’d smiled while blood dribbled down his chin and told Bryan to go fuck himself. His temper had flared and in a rage he’d shifted into his wolf and tore his throat out.He closed his eyes and wondered how Reese felt when the familial bonds snapped, one after the other. He would’ve preferred for her to have been in the pack, to run to him to heal her little broken heart. He would have distracted her with his cock, jammed tight down her throat.Bryan felt himself stiffen at that thought and he gripped his cock at the base with one hand. ‘Soon, little Reese, very soon,’ he thought to himself. His strokes became faster and faster as he pictured Reese on her knees, tears in her eyes and he c
