Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound By A Dare, Rejected By The Alpha: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Rosie's POV"Aren't you going to say anything? C'mon, Rosie," Xylus says pleadingly, rubbing the sides of his temple.My lips slowly quirk into a grin. I straighten my legs and scoot to the edge of my bed."You're not kidding, right? I'm going to work-for real?" I can hardly believe my own question. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that Xylus-who once forbade me from working-went out of his way to get me a spot as an intern photographer at COLOURS, the biggest photography studio in town."And why exactly would I lie?" He rolls his eyes at me as if I'd just asked the most absurd question. I let out a loud whoop and clap my hands."I love you so much!" I squeal and launch myself at him, pulling him into a tight bear hug. He groans, but I can tell he's relieved from the way he sighs and pats my back."I guess my heartbreak got me something better," I giggle.Xylus's shoulders stiffen a bit. His eyes dart away as he tucks his fingers into the pocket of his jeans."So... whe

Xylus' POVI had to get Dominic out. ASAP.His eyes were no longer that light, almost-golden green. Now they were darker-richer. Emerald, sharp and dangerous. That shift alone told me everything I needed to know. If I didn't get him out of here, now, I wouldn't be able to save my sister. Or his brother. Or anyone else who got in his way.I moved fast, grabbing his arm without a word and dragging him out onto the front porch. My hand fumbled behind me for the lock. Click. Just in case. Because things were about to go sideways, and I wasn't taking any chances."Dominic," I said, taking a cautious step forward. My palms were held flat in the air-open, nonthreatening. I lowered my shoulders, softened my posture, started to slowly circle him like I would a cornered wolf. Because that's exactly what he was right now.His eyes tracked my every move. There was a wildness in them, raw and unhinged, and I didn't have to guess what his wolf was thinking. I could feel it in the air, thick and opp

DOMINIC'S POVHow do I explain how insufferable this pain was?My palms pressed into the desk, sweat gathered at my temples, and my breathed slowed. I knew that rejecting Rosie would be the worst decision of my life, but I had done it to protect her. It wasn't enough reason to stop my wolf from tearing me apart for it."You let her go, and now you watch another wolf step, take chances." Ryk snarled. Even though he knew the 'wolf' was my brother.I clutched my fists. "Don't say another word." I muttered. Ryk wasn't going to let this go. I had denied him our mate, and now I was going to mentally suffer as my punishment. It looked like Rosie had slipped further away, watching my brother, Ashton, hover around her like he was her mate.I didn't know how to explain the feeling. He deserved her, actually. The image of Rosie and Ashton laughing together earlier had burned itself into my brain.For the sake of being brothers, I had held myself back from storming over and ripping his throat

DOMINIC It hurt. Fucking hurt... even more than I could imagine. I never knew it would be this hard. No one told me it hurt this much. That it could feel as though I have the world, yet I have nothing. That I'm nothing but an empty shell of a man.All I could picture each time was her face... the frown, how heartbroken she felt when I muttered those words. Fuck. I'm screwed. The fact I can't get past it... the fact that I do nothing but watch each time as Ashton parades everywhere with her while I sulk around and pretend I'm in a fucking happy relationship with Cassie-when all I want is her. That petite frame.Don't blame me. I didn't know when this nasty feeling began, but I want her. I want to breathe her in. Have her close to my body, kiss those fucking enticing lips of hers, claim her, and know what it feels like to hear her moan beneath me... listen to her soft, wanton pleas for me to take her.Fuck. Fuck. Fuck and fuck. I'm screwed. Fucking screwed.Ryk, of all people, is fucki

Rosie's POV Take a bite. Pause. Stare into the distance. Well that's what I've been doing for say the last five minutes. My hands are anchored at a very awkward position as I bite into my granola bar. I can't stop thinking of last night. Fuck it I can't stop blushing either. The minute Dominic left my room like the fucking weirdo I am, I shut all the windows so that I could his scent could linger a bit longer than usual even though that was a really shitty move to make considering the fact that I could have done a lot of explaining if Xylus stepped into my room. A scene I don't even want to imagine. And as much as I was angry at him , I knew a part of me wanted him to stay which is annoying, I mean he's been nothing but a pain in the ass and the fact that he comes to see me at really odd hours, slips off without any explanation and acts like grumpy from snow white doesn't make it any better. I snap off another piece and chew angrily when a hand waves Infront of me... really clos
