All Chapters of Rejecting Fate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Renz POV Emerald came downstairs, looking flustered. Not unusual for a she-wolf after being alone with Alpha. We don’t discuss his sex life, but I know he gets around. None of the she-wolves seem to complain. They like having the feather in their cap knowing they slept with the broody Alpha Vincenzo. One thing I do know is he never sleeps with the same woman twice. One night and one time. He’s not looking for anything serious. And me? I scare everyone away with one look. Alpha Vincenzo and his sister, Viviana, are the only people who can stand to be around me. That’s fine. I just focus on doing my job and try not to cause trouble. I fucked that up once I insisted that we attack the Running River Pack. Our fighting squad didn’t appreciate being locked in cells for weeks because of me. And now, the Gamma and the lead strategist from Running River are here and I can tell they don’t like me either. Especially this chick, Emerald. She looks repulsed by me.

Vincenzo POV I was informed that Emerald gave her room to Daphne. That makes sense- let the young she-wolf stay close to her brother. I don’t care either way. I still don’t like having guests in my house. And this Daphne girl is annoying; it’s like having two Vivianas around. She and Daphne just giggle and play music…very loudly. I like the quiet. Lucas is fine, but he thinks he’s slick. I have caught him checking out Viv on more than one occasion and I don’t like it. I’m ready to pluck his eyes out. Last night, I went down to the kitchen and was hoping to be surprised by my little mouse. I mean, she isn’t mine, but I enjoyed her being around. She is quiet and smart. Even with the Renz situation, she was willing to be honest with me which I appreciated. I can tell there is more to her than she shows. The quiet ones always have secrets. I’m sure I could open her up if I had one night with her. The thought makes my dick harden slightly and I have to massage it down.

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.

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

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.
