All Chapters of Rejected Me Once, Never Fool Me Twice: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Serene, what are they talking about? What is going on here?" Kaden says from behind Zander."Nothing... Nothing happened! What are you all doing here?" I ask, looking at everyone."You are not redirecting the question, Serene! Not today! You are going to tell us why you left the pack 10 years ago. You are telling us now!" Zander's voice booms with his Alpha authority."Fine! You want to know what happened? Fine, I’ll tell you! I WAS RAPED! WHILE YOU WERE BUSY LOVING MY SISTER, YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS FORCING HIMSELF ON ME. HE RAPED ME RIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR OF THE PACK HALL. I PLEADED AND BEGGED HIM TO LET ME GO, BUT HE PAID NO HEED. I CRIED OUT FOR YOU, ZANDER, I CALLED FOR YOU SEVERALLY, BUT YOU DIDN’T COME. HE BROKE ME THAT DAY, HE TOOK MY INNOCENCE FROM ME, HE TOOK SOMETHING THAT DIDN’T BELONG TO HIM! SO WHILE YOU WERE ALL BUSY CELEBRATING MY SISTER, I WAS BEING RAPED!" I yell every word, angry tears flowing down my face."That is not all. Your freaking best friend got her pregnant!

"Mine," he growls, his claws shredding my dress into pieces before tearing my panties.Suddenly, memories of how my innocence was taken away—how I was raped on the streets of New York—rush back to me.I shut my eyes tightly, trying not to tremble against him.I don’t want him to stop, and it isn’t because I’m enjoying this—I’m not. I never will. But I know what I got myself into. I know this was bound to happen, so I might as well let it and get it over with.I open my eyes and see him between my legs, licking me, but I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only disgust with myself and my mind.Minutes pass, and I focus on the sky, staring blankly at the stars. Then, I feel him leave my pussy and come up to me, squeezing my breasts and licking my nipples, making them erect.He kisses my navel, then moves back to my lips. That’s when I finally react.Kissing him makes me feel different, mainly because he is my first kiss. My first real kiss. Before him, I never kissed anyone I slept with—it

We stayed on the hill until dark, and I got to watch the sunset. I even took some pictures and got new ideas for my summer collection this fall."We are going on a trip," he says out of the blue, and I look at him weirdly."What? Where?" I ask."I want to see that smile on your face every day. It looks amazing on you. I haven't seen that in years. Since you left, I only tried to get that picture of your smile through Crystal e, but I was wrong. You may look similar, but you have different personalities," he shrugs, and I nod.For once, he isn't threatening to kill me at the mention of my sister's name. But that doesn't mean I have let my guard down. I don't trust his sudden change in behavior."Yeah, my dad used to say that a lot. So where are you planning on going?" I ask."Switzerland. My parents used to take me there when I was little. It was their little getaway. It was there that my parents fell in love, and there they conceived me," he says, and I nod.I really want to ask if he

The Next MorningI wake up with my head resting on a hard surface.I groan. Why is my pillow so hard?I mumble something incoherent when I feel a hand tracing up and down my spine.A deep chuckle sounds above me, and I stiffen slightly.Suddenly, memories of what happened yesterday into this morning flooded my mind.Fuck! We didn’t stop until this morning.I smile against his skin and raise my head to get a glimpse of his face.He’s smiling down at me softly. I take in his appearance—his hair is messy, his eyes still look tired, but there’s an unmistakable glint of lust in them."Good morning," I whisper as he pulls me closer."More like afternoon," he whispers back before kissing me softly, yet roughly.I moan into the kiss. He always finds a way to turn me into a mess with just his lips. I’m such a sucker for his kisses."Fuck! If you weren’t sore and tired, I would’ve fucked you again," he whispers against my lips, and I almost give in to the idea.But I am sore—all over, especially

Flashback"I can't run away with Kins. I'm already getting married to Alpha Zander. The wedding is happening after my birthday party," she tells him."But I love you. I am your mate. Don't you love me?" he asks brokenly."I love you, Matt. I love you so much, but I can't because I also love Zander just as much as I love you," she cries."You can't say that to me. Can't you see you're hurting me—hurting us?" he sobs."You wouldn't understand what I'm feeling right now," she says."Then make me understand, Crys. Make it make sense to me because I'm not giving up on you," he begs."Please, just bear with me, okay? Can you do something for me—make my wish come true?" she asks, and Matt nods. At this moment, he's willing to do anything just to be with her."Anything, mi amore. Anything," he whispers against her lips."Take my virginity. I want to feel everything a woman feels with her true mate. Please, don't deny me this wish," she pleads, and Kins immediately crashes his lips against hers
