From Rejection to Desire 9
Alpha Tate’s POVFeeling smug, I grip my hair as I hurry down the main staircase.It’s nice to know that I can make Kit desire me, to throw herself at me.What isn’t nice, is her obstinance.I can’t have that.I have worked too hard to make this pack strong.Unbeatable.We don’t need another massacre like that one that took out my parents and so many other of my friends, family, and pack members.Yanking open the door to the training center, Colin instantly tries to catch my eye, dodging a high kick, and jogging over to me.“So?”His concerned look gets under my skin.She isn’t his to be concerned over.Feeling annoyed, I recall him asking permission to pursue her yesterday, insisting that I see her before giving it to him…and I refused.Now I will look like an even bigger ass, or a complete fool, if I go back on it.Or even worse than that…weak.“She’s on her way.”Colin looks relieved as he follows me toward the front of the center while I scan the room, watching everyone’s progress

Kit’s POVSniffing, I internally curse that arrogant son of a bitch.To hell with this place!I’m not staying.I don’t care what Cami says.I haven’t even seen her since we got here!She didn’t even care enough to text me since we got here, let alone check on how I’m dealing with being back in the place that I hate so much.Might as well accept the fact that I have lost her forever.That I am completely and utterly alone now.A tiny sob escapes and I cover my mouth with both my hands.No!I won’t give that jackass the satisfaction!“Kit, I’m so sorry…I don’t know what’s gotten into him.”“I do!” I cringe at how wobbly my voice sounds. “He is a complete jerk, always has been, and always will be! He hasn’t changed one bit!”I look over my shoulder at Colin, who opens his mouth, but then closes it in a thin smile and leans the side of his head against mine.“I’m sorry.”“Whatever.”I sniff again and grab my upper arms.“I’m leaving.”“What?”Colin pulls my shoulders back and steps in fro

Kit’s POVFlopping face first onto the bed with a groan of despair, I leave my arms and legs spread exactly where they landed.Seeing Cami and Jody so madly into each other just makes it so much clearer exactly what I missed out with my own mate bond.I can’t ever imagine Alpha Tate standing there all puppy-eyed with a heart-shaped pillow covering his goods…even though the thought of it does make me give a muffled laugh against my comforter.Just replaying that entire scene with Alpha Tate and I versus Cami and Jody is comical.Alpha Tate is too brooding and grumpy to be so enamored. And I can’t ever imagine myself sticking my lower lip out in that pouty fashion that Cami does.Sighing, I roll over onto my back.But at least they are happy.Whereas I am quite miserable.There’s a soft knock on the door and for a moment, I think that it must be Cami, finally dragging herself away from Jody, but that’s not her scent.“Come in.”Grabbing a pillow, I use it to cover my face before the doo

Kit’s POV“Hey…morning sunshine.”Squinting through heavy eyelids, I see Colin grinning at me, holding up a cup of coffee.“When did you get here?”“About three minutes ago.”Struggling upright and leaning against the headboard, I gratefully take the hot coffee from him with both hands.“I thought that you were going to come back after your shift last night?”“You know, you really should check your phone more often.”I grin guiltily as I sip the drink that he brought me.Colin watches me, resting his hand on the bed beside my legs so that his body is laying across mine.“Apparently there was a small pack of rogues in the vicinity and Alpha Tate wanted me to stay on patrol until it was all clear.”I pause, the mug nearly touching my mouth.Uh huh.Sure…Colin lifts his shoulder.“It happens. Especially as the pack’s only healer.”I reach down and put my hand over Colins, who turns his hand over so that he can twist his fingers between mine.“So…are we going to training today?”I nearly

Alpha Tate’s POVColin is my friend.My closest friend since we were old enough to walk and talk.But right now, with my mate sitting in his lap while he fondles her, I want nothing more than to yank him up by his stupid blonde hair and rip his throat out.She needs a little extra attention…He’s giving her that alright.My hands clenched into fists at my side, a low growl escapes and a group of sweaty chicks strolling leisurely away from the training center look back at me curiously.Damn it.I was doing perfectly fine until she came back.Why did Jody have to mate with her sister?Shaking my head, I grab my shirt and pull it over my head, feeling the ladies sudden desire for me as I do so.Jody always said I could have any woman that I wanted in the pack, or in the nearby town.I probably could.But I just can’t bring myself to.None of them are as beautiful as Sarah was.Or stir something unfamiliar inside of me like Kit…Shaking my head again to get rid of that thought, I take off
From Rejection to Desire 14
Colin’s POVHesitating with my hand against the office door, I steel myself for Tate’s temper.He was always a moody guy, but it got worse after he rejected Kit, although he would never admit it.Then is got a thousand times worse when Sarah left and he refused to be with another girl after her.Jody and I have said multiple times over the last year that he needs to get laid, but now I worry that if he does, it will be with the one woman that I don’t want him to be with.My new girlfriend. Who just happens to be the mate that he rejected.As much as I love Tate like a brother, and respect him as my Alpha, I don’t want to give up Kit to him.He didn’t treat her right.She deserves better.I would never make her feel the way that he did.I want to keep her safe. Comfortable.Satisfied.Woa there…can’t be thinking about that before I step into the office with my Alpha. Don’t want him hearing those thoughts.Pushing the door open, I see that Jody has beat me here.He is perched on Tate’s

Kit’s POVColin and I hold hands to the training center, even as we walk through the door, I don’t let his hand go when he holds it open for me.When he follows me inside, he wraps the arm still holding my hand around my neck, pulling me close as he kisses the top of my head.A tiny bubble of rage seems to burst in my chest, and I grimace as I glance to the front of the room, catching Alpha Tate’s stare.I hate that I can feel him.Sense him.Share his emotions.It doesn’t matter if he is still kind of my mate.He is half the man that Colin is.Placing my hand on Colin’s chest, I lift onto my toes and tug on his shirt to get his attention.He looks down, grins, and lowers his head to give me a quick kiss.Another bubble pops.This one has pain in it.Screw him.Colin and I take the same mat as last time, Jody and Cami already beating us there and even more entwined with each other than Colin and I are.Alpha Tate clears his throat and I swear their lips make that sucking sound of two
From Rejection to Desire 16
Kit’s POV Frowning at my reflection, I blink as I angle my face to study the mascara that I just applied. Cami is the one who is good at make-up. Not me. Although, I think I did a pretty good job with it this time. I smile as I swipe some neutral lipstick on that makes my lips just a hint pinker. As much as I wanted to do it with Colin all day, and not just to spite Alpha Tate, which I admit, was a forethought on my mind, he insisted that we waited. I roll my eyes at my reflection. Fine. We’ll make it special or whatever. Running my fingers through my painstakingly curled hair, I wonder what he means by special. Sex is just sex. It’s just something that you need to do. The only way it can be ‘special’ is probably with your mate. I guess. Shrugging, I check my reflection one more time before stepping out of the bathroom and into my bedroom, trying not to make my new high heels clink too loudly against the floor. Smoothing my dress, I grab a pair of earrings from the dresse
