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

GREY’S POVMy breathing came out in jagged, short breaths. I’d been sparring with Ray for a while now, a little over an hour. At first, it started out as practice, but now, it was getting more aggressive from my side. He wasn’t backing down though. When I had walked into the kitchen earlier and saw all of them at the table eating and laughing, something moved in my chest. I became angry. Angry at the fact that someone else was making my mate laugh. Making her happy.Of course, it wasn’t logical to take my anger out on the poor guy, but I didn’t care. I had remembered the scene from the other day when I saw them together outside, and it made me mad that she was free with other people and not with me. Especially since she was free with Ray and preferred to be with him instead of me. “Not like you ever gave her the chance to be free with you,” my wolf reminded me, but I didn’t care. I realized that we were both on the mat now. I was on top of him, punching him in the face, and a few se

GREY’S POVI groggily opened my eyes, only to immediately squeeze them shut again due to the blinding brightness of the room. What was the time?I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and my eyes widened when I saw it was nine in the morning. Trying to get off the bed, I realized that I was wrapped around by warmth. My mate. Her scent was all over my room. I looked at her. Her hair was sprawled all over my chest, and she was breathing gently as she slept. What happened last night? How was she here? Then it all came rushing back. She had come into my room to thank me and things had escalated to the point where we kissed. After that, I convinced her to stay, and she helped me sleep. Looking at her now, a wave of comfort and happiness washed over me. I sighed in relief. I liked how she was so close to me. The warmth of her body clinging to me made me feel good. I reached out with my hand to touch her, to be sure she was actually here and not a figment of my imagination. She

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
