The Rejected Lone Wolf 14
BLOOM’S POVMy whole body shook as Rich walked out, and the tears I had held back fell. Of everything I had imagined would happen to my worthless life, I never thought I would have to deal with a baby. I felt light-headed. The fact that my intended mate hated me made things worse. I never felt so out of place. So unwanted. What did I do to deserve this kind of life? Was I paying for a grave sin I committed in my past life? He was right about one thing. I was the one in my right mind. Still, I didn’t bother to stop myself from urging him on. Maybe my father was right. I was nothing but a slut.“You know you’re not.” My wolf tried to comfort me, but her words didn’t do anything to stop my tears from falling. I heard the door opening and quickly wiped my cheeks. Then I jumped to my feet, gritting through the pain I felt all over my body.Rich had come back into the room. “Hey… Hey. You should rest. Your condition is still very fragile.” I didn’t answer him. How was I supposed to tell

GREY’S POVMy mate had been staying in the room next to mine for a few days, and I was more restless than I’d been in a long time. The fact that I could feel her emotions because of the mate bond drove me crazy. For the most part, she was jumpy, so I intentionally spent more time in the office to avoid her. It didn’t work. She took up my thoughts during my free time. I couldn’t help but be annoyed that she was messing up my plan. There were a lot of pressing issues at hand. I didn’t need some woman who appeared from who-knows-where taking up my time. My wolf had given me hell since our last encounter with her, more active than ever and messing with my head. He pestered me to check on her and look after her, but I ignored him. I hadn’t set my eyes on her for the past few days. There was a knock on my door, drawing me back from the thoughts of her. “Hey, what’s up?” Richmond asked as he walked into the office. I nodded and grunted a greeting in reply.Then he sat in the chair acro

BLOOM’S POVI couldn’t stop shaking as I realized what I had done. Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, I knew I would get punished. I just knew it. Back at my former Pack, I wouldn’t get away with something like this. It was either reported to my father, and I got whipped, or the witness picked up the broken piece and pierced it into my skin. Most of the time, it was Cecily. My mate was not standing so close to me, but I could feel the heat radiating off his body. I suddenly felt sweaty. The clothes I was wearing didn’t do anything to help matters. I had worn thick clothing because I didn’t want anyone to see the scars on my body. Most of the clothes I found in the wardrobe of the new room didn’t do anything to cover me. They either exposed my arms or weren’t long enough. I barely found some that were long enough.I bowed, knowing the first rule was not to make eye contact. I didn’t even have an explanation for what happened. I came to the kitchen to get food because I was s

GREY’S POVI didn’t like how she made me feel mad, frustrated even, and I hated that I wanted to get to know her, everything about her life, and what she went through. I loathed that I got worried when she hurt herself, despised that my wolf was mad at how I treated her, and that he wanted to be near her. At the same time, I hated myself for treating her badly.All these weren’t part of the plan. I didn’t want a mate, nor did I want a child. I didn’t think I could raise one without turning into my father. After growing up, all I could say about my father was that he was a bastard, but his blood flowed through my veins. I had walked the path of no redemption, so I was already like him, if not worse, but I couldn’t imagine having a child and treating them the way my father abused my brother and me. When I saw her the other day and went near her, the smell that radiated off her body was different. She had smelled more alluring. I knew for a fact that it was because of the baby. And th

BLOOM’S POVHe was confusing me. One minute he made me feel so hot and the next, he was downing me with cold water. He made it clear that he didn’t want me, so why was he mad about me talking to someone other than him?It was all confusing for me. When I noticed him walking towards us, I was so scared that he would get the wrong impression of me talking to the Beta. Ray, I heard Rich say his name. And he had. To hell with the part of me that wouldn’t have lied if Grey asked what I was discussing with Ray. Luckily, he didn’t ask, and Ray didn’t disclose our discussion to him.I was crazy to think this, but Grey’s over-protectiveness was hot and attractive. I blamed the mate bond for this. Eventually, I would be the one on the receiving end of his brutality. He’d hurt me so badly, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. I knew he was just keeping me around because of the baby I was carrying. He might reject me after the child is born, and I wouldn’t hold it against him. No one wa

GREY’S POVI stared at the documents in front of me, not seeing anything anymore. Everything was beginning to make sense. Parker had come in earlier this morning to report what I asked for. I had been mad at him for bringing it in three days later, but he said it had been hard to get any information on my mate. She had no information about her except that she was a member of the Montrose Pack. Apart from that, she pretty much didn’t exist.That wasn’t even the most shocking part in all of this. That was on page two of the file. Parker said he contacted someone from her Pack who was his close friend and had told him everything about her. It turned out she was the Alpha’s daughter and last child who had been maltreated since she turned five, beaten almost every day by her father and many Pack members.Her father didn’t do anything to stop the abuse because he was the one who instigated it. She had been degraded and abused her whole life. Another part that made my blood boil the most

BLOOM’S POVMy heart was beating erratically as I watched the door that Grey exited from moments ago. I didn’t know what had just happened, but I knew I liked it. He had made me feel all kinds of emotions at once, butterflies in my belly, foreign sensations in between my legs, and hotness all over.When I opened the door to the restroom, I was not expecting to see him sitting on my bed like he owned it. Well, he did own it, but since I moved into this house, he had never looked at me the way he did today. Like he wanted me. I didn’t know what came over me either, I suddenly felt bold. I spoke to him without stuttering and I touched him. Every moment we had been together in close proximity, I loved. The last time we were that close was in the kitchen and then, he had a look of disgust on his face when he left. This time had been different. Or so I thought. I had my hopes up because he had looked at me differently today, and that maybe he didn’t hate me. He looked at my neck and body a

BLOOM’S POVWithin a few minutes, Steph pulled me up to my room to get me ready for the shopping outing. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Grey wanted to take me shopping. Well, he wasn’t the one taking me, but he sent me to go shopping with his money. Why?I had never had the opportunity to go out for this kind of thing before. The girls I used to work with at my former Pack always talked about the new things they would buy at the end of the month when they got their allowance. I never got one. I was always given the old clothes of people that I didn’t even know. Sometimes during winter, I had to go to the trash bin that held clothes to pick some clothes. I got frostbite often because of the cold.Steph pulled me across the car park that was in the basement. I looked around in awe. There were different types of cars, and they were all flashy.Wow. Grey was really loaded. Steph stopped by the door of a black sports car and opened the front passenger door for me to e
