From Rejection to Desire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

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 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

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 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

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
