Rejecting Fate Chapter 15
Unknown POV Run, little girl, run. This Alpha Vincenzo certainly has tighter security around his perimeter compared to Alpha Darius. No worries; I can still see all I need to see. And I’m seeing plenty. My, young Emerald, how you’ve grown. How silly of me to overlook you. Not this time. If you’re anything like you were as a child, it won’t be difficult to pull you away. - - - - Emmy POV Alpha Vincenzo is so hard to read. One minute he is calm and quiet. Then he is intense and curious. Then he’s pissed and controlling. I can’t keep up with him. I’m getting a headache trying to figure him out. I know for a fact that Lucas went for a morning run as well, but that didn’t seem to piss off this Alpha. During our meeting, he kept glaring at me. I would normally avoid making eye contact with any Alpha and keep to myself, only speaking when needed. But he has me so frazzled that I glared right back at him. He never said anything. I wonder if this i
Rejecting Fate Chapter 16
Vincenzo POV My wolf wanted to rip Lucas’ throat out. I had half a mind to let him. No woman deserves to be called such words. Emerald…Emmy…No, Emerald, she looked beautiful- stunning. I had never seen a woman with a figure like hers. Is Lucas insane?! I refuse to let those three ladies go to the club without protection, and with this semi, thanks to the little mouse, a little late-night relief is much needed. I’ll make sure Renz keeps an eye on them. I doubt they will allow Lucas near them tonight. Good. He’s been making the g****e eyes at Viv all week. At least, now she sees him for the weasel he is. All six of us are riding in my Range Rover, an awkward silence filling the car. Viviana reaches up from the back seat to turn on the radio; some girl comes on singing about how men aren’t that great. I roll my eyes as Viv and Daphne sing at the top of their lungs. Emerald is quiet in the back seat with Renz, while Lucas continues to sweat bullets next to me.
Rejecting Fate Chapter 17
Emmy POV Viviana pulled me and Daphne to the bar. “Okay, ladies! Tonight, we forget about stupid men, and we have fun!” Viviana waves the bartender over as she flips her hair over her shoulder. “Yes. I need a drink. My hand is still stinging. I can’t believe I slapped Renz. But, good! He deserves much worse after what he did to Lyle,” Daphne pouts as Viviana slides her a shot. “Daph…He didn’t know. Renz doesn’t make a good first impression…maybe not even a good second, or third impression. But he is a nice guy,” I say softly, holding my shot. “Renzy? He’s the sweetest! I understand why you gave him a good swat, but he is such a nice guy. Now that brother of yours…he’s a stronzo! Asshole!” Viviana huffs. Daphne appears to be taking in what we had to say about Renz. Viviana snaps Daphne out of her thoughts as she picks her shot up. “But no more talking about those guys. Tonight is for fun! Cheers to us ladies!” she shouts as she throws back her shot. “Girls rule
Rejecting Fate Chapter 18
Emmy POV He is right behind me; mere inches from touching my back with his broad chest. I feel his breath beneath my ear. A wave of fear and excitement shocks me to my core, and I clench my thighs together. His words are all I can focus on. “Seems like I found the little mouse creeping around again…” His voice feels like a heavy blanket on a winter night. I want to be wrapped up in him. My eyes are shut tight and I’m biting my bottom lip, still unable to speak. “Cat got your tongue, little mouse?” he huffs, a slight laugh in his voice. He presses his chest against me and my entire body seizes up and presses back into him. “Mmm. I guess you’re exactly where you want to be.” He runs his hands slowly up my arms to my shoulders. He brushes my hair away from my neck and leans into the space beneath my ear. “Answer me, Emerald. Is this where you want to be?” His teeth graze my ear and I let out a breath. “I think so…” I barely whisper. “This is not
Rejecting Fate Chapter 19
Vincenzo POV Emerald and I did things in that room that I have never done with any woman before. We talked. We spent two hours getting to know each other. I don’t remember the last time I had such an easy time talking with someone. She told me about this warrior from her old pack, Kai. Stupid name. He is an idiot. He took advantage of Emerald and her kindness and made her first time a horrible memory for her. Then she tried to open herself up again with Lucas. I can’t say that made me happy to hear. I understand his reasoning for wanting to find his fated mate. There is a possibility that the Moon Goddess is giving werewolves fated mates again. If there was a chance that I had a fated mate, I would wait for her as well. Emerald portrays this attitude of being self-sufficient, and she is. After hearing her story, I can tell she wants to be loved and adored. I wanted to talk to her about Carolina, Maggie, and Amaya. How can I explain t
Rejecting Fate Chapter 20
Vincenzo POV “What are you doing here?!” Emerald screams as she clutches the towel tightly around her incredible body. I can’t help but let my eyes scan up and down her legs, stopping where the towel gaped open at her thighs. What I would give to be a droplet of water making its way down her entire body; from the top of her shoulder to the curve of her breast, down her waist, to her inner thigh. I lick my lips, and I feel my wolf wanting to press forward as well. He has been so restless around Emerald the last couple of days. “Vincenzo! What are you doing here?!” she asks me again and my attention snaps up to her eyes. I don’t miss her cleavage begging to escape from underneath that restrictive towel. “I was concerned when Lucas and Viviana didn’t hear from you this morning. I wanted to make sure you were okay.” I know how dumb I must sound as I explain myself to her. I run my hands through my hair and lock my fingers together behind my head.
Rejecting Fate Chapter 21
Emmy POV I wake up a couple of hours later, feeling like I had slept for days. The reality of this morning comes crashing back to me and I sit up abruptly. I search my room and Vincenzo is nowhere in sight. Was it a dream? No. It wasn’t a dream. It was real. He was here. I can still smell him. Of course, he would sneak out. One woman. One time. I guess that counted for him- it certainly counts for me. How silly of me to expect to find him in bed with his arms wrapped around me. As much as it hurts to feel used…again, he truly did make me feel desired and beautiful. I’ll focus on remembering that. My attention darts to my dresser. I jump out of bed, realizing that I’m wearing a gray tank top, black sleep shorts, and a pair of wool socks. He dressed me. I smile as I focus on the socks. He must have noticed I like wearing warm socks to sleep. I shake my head and focus on what I have hidden in my dresser. Three Hours Ago When I woke up this m
Rejecting Fate Chapter 22
Vincenzo POV I can’t stop looking at her. Emerald has me completely captivated. She has been an expert at avoiding me since the other day. I won’t lie, I’ve been keeping my distance as well. We didn’t even have sex and I can’t seem to get her off my mind. That hasn’t happened to me. I’ve been able to have one night with a woman and walk away and not have my mind…and body, wanting more of her. Emerald is different. And because she is different, I can’t allow her to get close to me. I won’t risk her getting hurt, or worse…losing her completely. She doesn’t know about my curse. Knowing her, she would want to help me. Actually, no she wouldn’t. She’s too logical for that. She would laugh at me and tell me that curses and superstitions are silly. I know they are. But a part of me still believes that if I operate the way I have been, nobody will get hurt. I am glad Viviana and Daphne have asked Emerald to stay for dinner. She is so cute today. Her wavy hai
