BLOOM’S POVI felt stupid. Stupid that I had my hopes raised and expected something good from him. He’d made it clear that he didn’t want me, that I was someone whose presence ruined his plans, that I was a useless mate and didn’t deserve to have him as a mate, that even though I had Alpha’s blood running through me, I was still low. Yesterday things got out of hand, and we kissed. At that moment, it felt like the best thing in the world to me. It was perfect. I felt wanted and wanted to stay with him like that, just laying in his arms for a long time. I wanted him to want me and look at me like he did yesterday. But the next morning, he quickly dashed the hopes of that ever happening again. He said it had been a mistake. When I woke up and didn’t see him beside me, I felt disappointed. That he just left me alone. Stupid of me to have expected a little bit of care from him. My mistake was expecting much from him. I never got any care in my life before and I was used to being alone,

BLOOM’S POVA few days had passed and I hadn’t seen Grey at all. It seemed like he was avoiding me, and that was fine with me since I wasn’t ready to face him either. The embarrassment from his words the last time we saw him was still present.I was going to push that out of my mind. My life had become more interesting now that I had people who cared and looked after me. Kate had already gotten acquainted with the guys, and my guess about Greg stealing over everyone’s heart had been accurate. Anytime he was around and not at the Pack school, he was in everybody’s hair. Also, I later found out that Ray was one of the strongest warriors from Richmond’s Pack. He had become the new Beta after Grey’s former Beta betrayed him.The Packhouse had a different kind of vibe to it now as different people came and went. It was fun, but also overwhelming. Quite a number of people stopped by to check on their Luna. It was always a short visit, but it made me marvel at how cool Kate was. She was a

BLOOM’S POVI tiptoed to my room, trying to stay as quiet as I could. I could feel Grey was inside his room already and didn’t want to wake him up as I felt that he was already sleeping. When I slipped into my room successfully, I leaned against the door, my heart was beating very fast. I didn’t want to have to explain to him where I was coming from this late at night. My clothes were sticky and sweaty, so I took them off and threw them on the floor, and then I picked up my phone from the bed to check the time. It was just past ten. I already figured out most of the features of my phone, but using it was still a little bit strange to me. I had downloaded a bunch of fashion design videos on YouTube.I had a thing for it since I was young, but most of my ideas remained in my head as I didn’t have a way of implementing them. I had one sketch pad back in my former Pack given to me by Lydia, but I hadn’t been able to take it with me. The designs were still in my head, but I hoped no one

GREY’S POVSitting in the dining room to eat was something I rarely did. My food, anytime I requested it, was brought up to my office or room, so I had no reason to go to the dining room except during special occasions. But, I went there today. I tried not to give the people that were serving me the stink eye. It wasn’t their fault that they were surprised to see me there. I also surprised myself by going there. Why did I go there? I wasn’t sure either. A few moments after I started eating, Richmond and Kate walked into the dining room.“Look who’s here today,” Rich mocked as he settled into the chair next to me. I rolled my eyes at the realization that I had to listen to his annoying voice while I was eating.After what happened this morning, I had a bitter taste in my mouth, even as I felt bad for what I did. She had helped me, but I repaid her kindness by being a bastard. I don’t think she even realized how much she helped me. I’d been having a rough time recently because of lack

BLOOM’S POV All eyes were on Grey as he stormed out of the dining room. Or did he stalk out? With the anger seeping out of him, I would say he stormed out. “Are you okay, Bloom?” Ray’s voice brought me back to the present, and I looked up to meet the gaze of everyone at the table. Richmond wasn’t there, so he must have left while I was lost in thought. “What did you say?” I heard him the first time but acted like I didn’t to shake their gazes off my skin, still, they stared at me like they expected me to be rattled by my mate’s outburst. I from weeks ago would have been shaking and might have even burst into tears, but the present me, especially me from this morning was getting bored with his antics.“Are you okay?”“Yes, I’m fine. Why do you ask?” I deflected by answering his question with a question. Sure, I was meek, sometimes slow, but I wasn’t stupid that I didn’t know they knew what was going on. From the way I was stick-thin, to the way I covered up, to the way I stammere

BLOOM’S POVThis was bad. He shouldn’t have caught me here. What should I do? What should I say? Those thoughts ran through my head even as I tried to keep the panic I felt from showing on my face.“I said, what the fuck are you doing in my room?” He growled, and I rolled my eyes. Turned out I didn’t need an excuse, I just had to reciprocate his attitude. “I heard you the first time.” A frown appeared on his face. “Then answer the damn question.”There was no need to argue with him, I realized, I should just thank him and be out of his hair, possibly evading the question of what the fuck I had been doing in his room.Tilting my head at him, I said, “Thank you.” Keeping it short and simple was key. I could tell that he was surprised by the way he slightly moved back. “You’re thanking me? For what?” he asked, and I took a few seconds to think. Did he really tell Tina to make me healthier meals? Or did she lie?“Tina said you asked her to make healthier meals for me. I’m saying thank

GREY’S POVThe second she walked into her room, regret washed over me. My wolf growled at me. “I warned you not to say those things.” I ignored him and shoved him into the corner. Yes, he did tell me, but I still ran my mouth. Her expression from a few minutes ago flashed into my mind, and the regret hit me harder. Fuck. I really should have kept quiet. Her face had been so blank, and her body still, and if I hadn’t seen her eyes I would not have known she was rattled by my words. A few maids walked past, all bowing, and I jerked from my position, realizing I was standing out in the hallway with my mouth slightly open. I gave a wave of my hand, acknowledging their greeting, then entered my room and closed the door. Leaning against the door, I surveyed the room. Nothing was out of place, but as I walked deeper into my room and inhaled, I could still smell her scent. It was so sweet and I felt the urge to hold her in my arms and kiss all her bruises away. Where did that come from
The Rejected Lone Wolf 31
BLOOM’S POVThe moment Steph, Kelvin, and Caleb saw me, they each shook their heads at Ray who stopped talking immediately, and clenched his hands in a fist, and turned around to face me.So as not to not make things awkward, I didn’t give any indication that I had heard them, but smiled in greeting and said hi. I gave a hug to Steph and got a belly rub in return, then a side hug for the rest of the men because I wasn’t comfortable fully hugging them. “Thanks for waiting for me. I took a little time because I couldn’t decide what to wear,” I said to Ray, and his eyes scanned my clothes.“I think you did well with that.” I blushed at the appreciation in his voice. “You look really good,” Steph said. “Tell me, what did you do with that horrible turtleneck?” An awkward silence followed after Steph’s question. “I mean,” she laughed nervously, “where did you find those leggings? They’re to die for.” “‘They’re to die for.’” I laughed when Caleb started to mimic her. “In my wardrobe,”
