To say I wasn't going to cry would be a lie because I totally am but not sad tears. Oh, no I am so mad I am shaking. Why the make me go through this a second time. He thinks the same as everyone else does. It's not the truth but still, it stings. I busy myself as he stands there in silence, his rejection hanging in the air like a dark cloud. Thankfully, before he can utter those dreaded words, the kitchen becomes a flurry of movement.

 

I briefly see someone start to drag Jace out of the kitchen and a small spark of hope ignites in me. Maybe, just maybe, I can make it through the rest of the night without completely falling apart. No, I refuse to even think that. So, I stomp that shit down. But then, the energy in the room shifts and a powerful growl cut through the noise. Everyone, including myself, freezes in fear.

 

"Don't look, don't look," I try to mentally kick myself back into gear, but fail miserably when I feel him standing behind me. Before I can even figure out what is happening, I am lifted up as if I weigh nothing and thrown over a hard shoulder. I can't help it; I squeal in shock.

 

"My food!" I protest, trying to wriggle out of his grasp. He tightens his hold on me and swats my butt, causing me to yelp in surprise. "What the fuck is wrong with you!"

 

"Hold still," he commands, turning back to the chaos in the kitchen. "One of you, stay and take out whatever might be cooking. The rest of you, take what you have." He pauses, his eyes scanning the room. "Michael," he barks, addressing a guy who was standing nearby.

 

"Yes, alpha," Michael responds, his voice shaking but not really in fear.

 

"Tell anyone who complains that they can wait, while I take care of something with my mate." The room is filled with stunned silence, everyone frozen in shock at the mention of his mate.

 

"Now!" he barks again, and suddenly everyone is moving, scrambling to obey his command. I wince, hating the alpha's bark that always rubs me and my wolf the wrong way.

 

He continues to carry me outside, and it's only when I hear the door shut behind us that I realize we are in the alley behind the venue. The loud music from the main road vibrates in the air, adding to the intensity of the moment. He sets me down on my feet and I sway a little, still getting used to the sudden change in position. I look up at him and up and up, realizing just how tall he is compared to my 5'2'' frame. When our eyes meet, he speaks.

 

"I don't know what happened before, but I'm not giving up the one person who is made for me. Wolfless or not," he says, his voice firm and determined. He steps closer, pushing me up against the wall with his hot, hard body. I shudder, unable to resist the pull towards him. Maybe I even moan. Who cares. I care that's who. I push against him hard as I can. Borrowing from my wolf a little bit I get him to move.

 

"You are certainly not weak, that I know for a fact," he says, staring deep into my eyes. And then, he's kissing me again, his lips claiming mine in a passionate and possessive kiss.

 

Holy moley, Jace is intense. His hands are everywhere, exploring every curve of my body with a hunger that sends shivers down my spine. I can barely keep up with him, my mind struggling to process the overwhelming sensations while my wolf, Jasmine, purrs with pleasure. Yes, actually freaking purrs. "Bitch, do you not remember the last one? He was like this at first too until we didn't put out." That shuts her up. Because it's true. When we didn't give in, he backed off and we got rejected.

 

It's hard to believe that Jace is said what he does, and now, with his lips pressed against mine and his hands roaming over my skin, he's a completely showing me how much he doesn't care. And if I was as naive as I used to be, I might believe it. This isn't my first rodeo and happy ever after is just in Disney movie

 

As his stubble grazes against my chin, my body responds, craving more of his touch. I'm grateful for the suppressants I take, keeping my wolf's pheromones in check. Otherwise, I would be slick with desire and the scent of my arousal would be overwhelming. Now I I feel the wetness gathering I know they are working otherwise well there would be no saving my clothes.

 

Jasmine and I are a special kind of wolf. We are different and the rarest of the rare. Thats why we need to make sure our mate is worthy of us.

 

I can feel his desire for me through our bond, a connection that only rare for nonmarked couples. And it only intensifies the passion between us.

 

His hands slide under my shirt, tracing the lines of my body with a possessive touch. I can't help but whimper as his fingers trail over my waist, lingering over the little bit of pudge I have there. I can't help but be self-conscious about it, I bake and cook and enjoy my creations and haven't trained since I left my old pack. Even if I can feel that Jace, feels I'm beautiful and desired. He doesn't seem like the type to be with someone like me. Shit waits why do I even care? I don't so I push him back again. Regaining control over myself and my wolfs desire. Nope this is not happening.

 

He's so confident and sure of what he wants, while I'm still struggling to accept that he could never want someone like me. And there is the small fact I have never done this, been touched like this. And I do not want to go down that road with him.

 

Extending both my hands I keep pushing him with everything I had until we are both off the wall and in the middle of the alley way.

 

"You're perfect," he whispers trying to kiss me again, but I dip my head and step back. "And I can't hold back anymore."

 

"Well thanks I guess, but I am far from perfect, and you need to back the fuck up." I tell him dropping my arms and stepping about six feet back. Watching the look of confusion cross his face. "Look just because we got this bond does not mean you get to paw at me. I am not going to just drop my pants and say Yes Alpha." I steal my shoulder waiting for the strike that normally follows speaking to an alpha that way.

 

"Paw at you?" He asks. "You're my mate I was not pawing at you!" He tries to come for again I put my hand up stopping him.

 

"Nope you stay right there. No reason to come closer." He stops his mouth opening and closing a few times.

 

"What the fuck is going on right now?"

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 27: Jace

    It’s thirty-six minutes before her breathing evens out, before the wariness in her body language gives way to something that almost resembles rest. I stay perfectly still the entire time, arms slack, head down, forcing myself not to fidget or fill the silence. For someone who makes a living commanding rooms, it’s a kind of torture—more than once, I have to clamp my teeth together to keep from blurting out her name.When she finally emerges, it’s not dramatic. She peels back the blanket an inch at a time, fingers shaking but determined, and gives me a look like she expects to find the room empty. I offer her a thin smile. She blinks, as if surprised I haven’t left.“Still here?” she whispers, voice gone hoarse from crying.“Always,” I say, and instantly regret how much it reveals.She pulls the blanket up to her chin, defensive. “You don’t have to babysit. I’m not… I’m not going to break.”“I know,” I say. I keep my voice soft, so soft I almost can’t hear it myself. “I just want you to

    JaceI let her slip away. It’s the only way it ever works with Renee—no sudden movements, no declarations, just a gradual, inevitable retreat behind whatever barricade she can scramble together in plain sight. She wraps herself in her nest with an efficiency that speaks to far too much practice: tangled sheets, a quilt that must’ve weighed as much as she did, two ragged couch pillows sandwiched over her head like noise-cancelling headphones. Only her bare ankles poke out, small and chalk-pale, twitching with each new pulse of anxiety as she senses me in the next room.I hover by the kitchen sink, coffee mug in both hands, as if the ceramic is the only thing keeping me from lunging across the apartment to drag her back. I stare out the window at the neighboring garage’s corrugated tin roof, where sunlight glances in hard, insistent angles. My wolf wants to flatten itself against the glass and howl. Instead I take a long swallow of bitter coffee, tasting it for what it really is: burnt,

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 25: Renee

    I’m not sure what I expected. Maybe a little more trepidation or a nervous breakdown or at least the decency of a full-scale panic attack. What I did not anticipate was for my wolf to hijack my hands, my limbs, my entire corporeal self and start packing up my apartment with a ruthless efficiency that would have made Marie Kondo weep. She—my wolf, Jasmine—had decided, apparently, that we were moving out.It started with the kitchen. I watched, equal parts horrified and incredulous, as I gathered up my pots and Tupperware and half-empty bottles of spices into boxes scavenged from behind the corner bodega months ago. I could only observe, a passenger in my own body, as she tackled the blender, the hand mixer, the never-used bread maker with the methodical precision of a serial killer. Each item was wrapped in dishtowels and socks, then wedged into boxes, labeled in my chicken-scratch handwritingJace moves through my tiny kitchen like a force of nature at half-speed.

    The mix of emotions that go past her face was expected. I really didn't want to drop this bomb on her right when I got here. But she brought it up and I couldn't ask for a better opening to bring it up. Something I was truly dreading trying to find a way to bring it up. So, she did that for me."Why?" Her tone is neutral, her face is too."A few reasons, really." I admit. "One because it's the safest place for you to be." She starts to interject, but I raise my hand and shake my head. "No, let me explain."She closes her mouth and sits down, her arms crossing, and her lips pressed tightly together."So, there are a lot of things that I want to explain to you. But to be fair you just admitted my point yourself." I gesture towards the bed where she put the stuff from her nest. "You can't leave your nest set up because you are worried about someone seeing it and figuring out that you are an omega." I don't say that I feel like that isn't exactly right something tells we there is more to

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 23: Renee

    To say I was upset to wake up alone would be an understatement. I was kind of devested. But it only reinforced in my mind, that all men are trash. Sneaking out before dawn was low. I feel that it's even worse since we didn't even have sex. With a newly renewed anger. I stand from my nest on the couch, ready to keep my anger and directed at the world. At least my omega side was happily taking a back seat and letting the alpha take the driver seat. Well, it was until something falls to the floor in front of me. A piece of black fabric, well piece in not the right term. Its large enough to me a throw blanket. I pick it up and immediately know its Jace's and his scent of sandalwood and vanilla. I can't help but bring it to my nose and inhale like it's better than the oxygen I need to live, in someways it is. And in others it is a downfall. Because he may have left but it for me so I could sleep well. And I did. It was the best sleep I have ever had. No nightmares and looking at my nest

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 22: Jace

    I know I shouldn't be sitting in her nest, but she didn't object when I stay. No instead she fell asleep. As the sun dips in the sky and the world falls dark. I know I need to leave. I want to make her dinner, but I am not going to wake her. Today was a lot for her. It was a lot for me. My mate is an omega. Yeah, I need to leave. I don't know how she would feel if I stayed, and I need to process that information. Omegas are so a rare these days. She will need extra protection. I don't know if Alexs knows that she is one. But he could have caught the scent she was hiding so well the other night when she catered my even. But here today it was strong, I mean why wouldn't it be she had no reason to hide it here in her home.I look down at my mate, careful to not disturb the slumbering form of my mate. Her breath rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern, peaceful and innocent. She looked so vulnerable, curled up in the nest, her face serene. It was hard to believe that just last night, she had be
