Rosie's POV

"Aren't you going to say anything? C'mon, Rosie," Xylus says pleadingly, rubbing the sides of his temple.

My lips slowly quirk into a grin. I straighten my legs and scoot to the edge of my bed.

"You're not kidding, right? I'm going to work-for real?" I can hardly believe my own question. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that Xylus-who once forbade me from working-went out of his way to get me a spot as an intern photographer at COLOURS, the biggest photography studio in town.

"And why exactly would I lie?" He rolls his eyes at me as if I'd just asked the most absurd question. I let out a loud whoop and clap my hands.

"I love you so much!" I squeal and launch myself at him, pulling him into a tight bear hug. He groans, but I can tell he's relieved from the way he sighs and pats my back.

"I guess my heartbreak got me something better," I giggle.

Xylus's shoulders stiffen a bit. His eyes dart away as he tucks his fingers into the pocket of his jeans.

    ROSIEImmediately Xylus left, sleep didn't come that easy. I've been staring at the ceiling for minutes... My thoughts going several places, Colors, Ashton and Dominic. Dominic, the least I had expected was the sudden outburst from him. He doesn't get to be the one with the anger. He rejected me and yet he was putting up some stupid character that speaks... All attention should be on me.Tomorrow was work, and with the last experience with Cassie, I'm just hoping tomorrow would be something different, that bitch made my first at work so terrible.I shut my eyes close determined to stash away every damn thought away from my head.Grabbing my fluffy teddy bear, I cuddle close, burying my face into the softness like it could somehow squeeze the chaos out of me. I let out a heavy sigh, dragging the duvet over my head like that's going to magically block out reality.The sudden rattling of my window had me startled, I toss the duvet aside. My chest beating rapidly... My voice close to scr

    DOMINIC It hurt. Fucking hurt... even more than I could imagine. I never knew it would be this hard. No one told me it hurt this much. That it could feel as though I have the world, yet I have nothing. That I'm nothing but an empty shell of a man.All I could picture each time was her face... the frown, how heartbroken she felt when I muttered those words. Fuck. I'm screwed. The fact I can't get past it... the fact that I do nothing but watch each time as Ashton parades everywhere with her while I sulk around and pretend I'm in a fucking happy relationship with Cassie-when all I want is her. That petite frame.Don't blame me. I didn't know when this nasty feeling began, but I want her. I want to breathe her in. Have her close to my body, kiss those fucking enticing lips of hers, claim her, and know what it feels like to hear her moan beneath me... listen to her soft, wanton pleas for me to take her.Fuck. Fuck. Fuck and fuck. I'm screwed. Fucking screwed.Ryk, of all people, is fucki

    Rosie's POVIf a pin drops, you'd hear it to show how quiet the dining room was.This was the first time having dinner together since you know... Dominic's rejection. My 18th birthday. I could feel the quiet tension in the air.I didn't just want to remember because the weight of that moment was still pressed heavily on my chest.What made it worse was he was sitting right across me!Hold on.Why wasn't Cassie here yet? She never missed a chance to gloat or be at Dominic's side, and yet tonight, she was absent.Her absence should have made things easier for me, but it didn't. Dominic sat at the head of the table, his shoulders broad, his face unreadable. He hasn't spared me a glance.What was I expecting? It was better that way rather than stealing glances and sending mixed signals.But why did it hurt?I couldn't help but notice how his hands moulded into fists against the table, his jaw locked so tight.Why did he seem angry? Off? Weird?Like he was struggling. STOP ROSIE!Xylus,

    DOMINIC'S POVHow do I explain how insufferable this pain was?My palms pressed into the desk, sweat gathered at my temples, and my breathed slowed. I knew that rejecting Rosie would be the worst decision of my life, but I had done it to protect her. It wasn't enough reason to stop my wolf from tearing me apart for it."You let her go, and now you watch another wolf step, take chances." Ryk snarled. Even though he knew the 'wolf' was my brother.I clutched my fists. "Don't say another word." I muttered. Ryk wasn't going to let this go. I had denied him our mate, and now I was going to mentally suffer as my punishment. It looked like Rosie had slipped further away, watching my brother, Ashton, hover around her like he was her mate.I didn't know how to explain the feeling. He deserved her, actually. The image of Rosie and Ashton laughing together earlier had burned itself into my brain.For the sake of being brothers, I had held myself back from storming over and ripping his throat

    DOMINIC'S POVThe moonlight shined in through the window, casting shadows across my room. I sat at the edge of my bed, my head cradled in my hands.Sleep had become a fleeting memory, something distant and almost mythical. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. RosieHer laugh. Her smile. Her chuckling.Memories of Rosie haunted me, clawing at my mind with every breath I took."You did this." Ryk growled, his voice echoing in my head. "You threw her away. You let her go."I didn't want to remember my rejection to her because Ryk had never stopped talking about it since it happened. I rubbed my hands down my face, trying to silence him. Ryk had been restless since I rejected her.It didn't matter to him that I did it to protect her. To keep her away from the chaos of my life, from the danger that lingered in every shadow. Ryk didn't care. He only knew she was ours, and I'd torn us apart."I don't want to hear it." I whispered under my breath, though I knew it was pointless. Ryk was

    Xylus' POVI had to get Dominic out. ASAP.His eyes were no longer that light, almost-golden green. Now they were darker-richer. Emerald, sharp and dangerous. That shift alone told me everything I needed to know. If I didn't get him out of here, now, I wouldn't be able to save my sister. Or his brother. Or anyone else who got in his way.I moved fast, grabbing his arm without a word and dragging him out onto the front porch. My hand fumbled behind me for the lock. Click. Just in case. Because things were about to go sideways, and I wasn't taking any chances."Dominic," I said, taking a cautious step forward. My palms were held flat in the air-open, nonthreatening. I lowered my shoulders, softened my posture, started to slowly circle him like I would a cornered wolf. Because that's exactly what he was right now.His eyes tracked my every move. There was a wildness in them, raw and unhinged, and I didn't have to guess what his wolf was thinking. I could feel it in the air, thick and opp
