From Rejection to Desire 1
“Do you smell anything yet?”Looking down at my eager little sister, I give a derisive snort of laughter and roll my eyes.“No. And I doubt that I will mate with anyone at this school anyway. At least I hope not. Everyone here are nothing more than a bunch of self-absorbed losers.”Cami’s large brown eyes go wide as she hugs her books close to her chest and speaks in a hushed whisper.“Why would you say such a thing? Your mate has got to be here, Kit, that way you don’t ever leave me.”“I would never leave you. You’re all I got. You’re stuck with me.”Wrapping my arm around her thin shoulders, I give her a comforting squeeze.She nibbles on her lip and scans the lawn.“Everyone here isn’t all that bad. What if you mated to Jody? He’s so dreamy. Oh…or Colin? He’s handsome and he seems nice.”I follow Cami’s eyes to a group of seniors leaning against the railing of the school steps.“Ha. They’re the worst ones here.”Cami looks scandalized, but I don’t care.Yeah, they are good looking,

Kit’s POV“Can I get you a refill?”Pouring water into the glasses of the young couple holding hands across from each other, I resist the urge to roll my eyes and force my face into a very practiced fake smile.The instant I turn away from them, the smile slides off and I do roll my eyes toward the ceiling.Making my way to the booth all the way in the back, I plop the water pitcher onto it and stretch my arms over my head.“How’s the essay going?”Cami pulls the pencil that she had been chewing on from her mouth and taps the notebook in front of her with a soft, dramatic sigh.“It just feels so cliché, you know? Using the fact that I was a poor orphan to appeal to schools to accept me. Are you sure that is what I should be writing about?”Reaching down, I turn her notebook towards me and scan the short paragraph.“That’s what I’ve heard. And why not use it to your advantage? It’s the only advantage that you have.”“It’s such a sad advantage to have.”She sounds forlorn as she stares

Kit’s POVIt takes everything in me not to bang my head against the window that my forehead is leaning against in the front seat of the luxury SUV that I have spent the last four miserable hours inside of. Four, painfully awkward hours of Cami and Jody groping each other in the backseat, making gross wet noises while sucking faces.Not helped by Colin, every once in a while, trying to initiate conversation to distract us from the make out session behind us.Unsuccessfully, I might add.Because I have nothing to talk to Colin Anderson about.I have nothing that I want to talk about with anyone from the stupid High Peaks pack.Damn them all.Scrunching up my nose, I resist the urge to cover my ears as I hear Jody murmur, “you’re so hot”, to my sister for the millionth time.This is hell.“Oh, thank god, we’re here.”Colin looks as relieved as I feel as he pulls into a long, circular driveway in front of the same packhouse that I used to spend hours a day cleaning.Fuck. Am I going to ha
From Rejection to Desire 4
Kit’s POV I should move. Right? Or maybe not. Maybe I should just stay right here and never move again. It feels weird to be lying on this plush, over-sized bed that is apparently mine for the unforeseeable future. Inside the very packhouse that I used to scrub the toilets of. Which would have been cool. Would have been a dream come true for me...seven years ago. But now…now as I lay here staring at the revolving ceiling fan above me, all I want is to get the hell out of here. To be magically transported back to my twin-sized bed in my tiny studio apartment. Away from the humiliation of my past. For crying out loud, I am living under the same roof as the man who fate literally wanted me to be with, was destined to be with, was made to be the other half of me, but he rejected me. He didn’t want me. Didn’t think that I was good enough for him. And now he’s single again. Actually, Colin didn’t say that Tate was single, just that Sarah was gone. But with Sarah gone… Oh, fuc

Alpha Tate’s POVLowering my eyes to look at Colin, who looks utterly bemused as he pulls his eyes away from the balcony, I give him a pointed look, then walk past him towards the packhouse.I don’t care what he says about her, she is strange, and always was strange.And there is no way that she turned hot in the seven years since I last saw her. I don’t believe him.She was frumpy. Pale. Greasy hair. Always scowling and looking miserable.I don’t need a frumpy, depressed mate.And I don’t need some freak who rolls around on the balcony…My lips twitch upward at the memory of her feet, toes pointed upward, rolling away, like being rolled up in a carpet.So freaking weird.Even if she does have that amazing scent…I rejected her.But she didn’t reject you.Minor detail.I can easily rectify that whenever I want.I’m an Alpha. I need to be with someone like Sarah…Damn it.The memory makes my hands curl into fists at my side.How could she leave me for a freaking human after I rejected m

Kit’s POVWhere did these clothes come from?Like, whose job is it to run to the mall and pick out clothes for random people?Shuffling through the closet full of brand-new, expensive clothes, tags still on, I can’t help but be impressed.These are so much better than my clothes.They can just throw my stuff in the dumpster after I’ve seen these.Smiling, I pull out a simple black sundress.Not sure there is a reason to dress up, but might as well, right?I’m pulling the straps over my shoulder when there is a knock on the door.I’m halfway across the room to answer it when I notice the towel still wrapped around my head.Yanking it off, I run my fingers through it as I pull open the door.“Hey.”“Hey, Colin.”Colin’s eyes dart down to take in my dress.“That looks nice.”“Thanks.”Still running my fingers through my damp hair, I step further into the room, he follows, closing the door behind him.“So…”I grin and shrug.“Yeah.”He returns the grin.“At least it was entertaining.”I l

Alpha Tate’s POVWatching Colin kissing her from the window of my office, I go through an assortment of emotions.Pushing the anger and resentment aside, I try to feel happy for him.He needs some action.I don’t care if it’s with her.Good for him.I try to turn away, but instead, I step closer to the window, my face nearly pressed against the glass as I try to see what she looks like, but Colin is blocking her from view.The only reason that I know it is her in the first place is because of her scent.It almost smells different though…almost…lighter. Oddly enough, happier.Is this because of Colin?He deepens the kiss, pulling her against his body.Fuck!My fist pounds the wall by the window without me realizing and I extract it from the large hole it created, glancing at the figures on the lawn to see if they heard the noise.Apparently, they didn’t.Maybe I need to get laid.There hasn’t been anyone since Sarah…and even when she was here…Sighing, I rub my forehead.Even when she

Alpha Tate’s POVSlamming my bedroom door shut, I slap my palm against it and hang my head.What was that?What the hell was that?I rejected her.I shouldn’t be feeling this way about her.She shouldn’t be so…so beautiful. Sexy. Soft. Enticing.So fucking desirable.Clutching my hand into a fist, I pound the door with it and push off it.Now that I know what her lips taste like, how her touch sets me on fire, I can’t not be with her again.We didn’t even fully explore each other yet.No.I will have her again.But once I have my fun, I will let her reject me back.Even if she is hot now, she still abandoned the pack all those years ago.She abandoned me.She’s too weak to be a Luna.A true Luna would have stayed, even with my rejection.She would have stayed for the pack.My stomach clenches as I remember that day, how hard I worked to hold in the pain from doing the unnatural act of rejecting my mate.How Sarah’s gentle strokes did nothing to soothe me.How my body had ached to go t
