All Chapters of Once rejected, twice shy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Bryan’s POVBryan stalked out of the Alpha suite, anger pulsing through his veins. Luna! She’d been gone for three weeks. How the fuck was she already married and to Alpha Troy of all people? He was so furious that he didn’t even register the footsteps behind him.In his office, he poured a generous amount of whiskey in a tumbler glass and emptied it. The door to his office closed behind him and he turned with dark eyes that blazed in anger. Michelle crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Bryan.“What was that back there? I thought you wanted to make Troy and his entourage feel welcome!” Michelle’s voice grated on his nerves and the angrier he got the harder his dick got as well.“I don’t have to explain myself to you!” Bryan’s voice was low and dangerous and Michelle knew that he could snap at any moment.“I don’t know what the hell’s going on but you couldn’t keep your eyes off his wife! He noticed, Bryan!”Bryan was in front of her in the blink of an eye, his hand curling ar

Troy’s POVThey left the dining room in silence, his hand clamped tightly around Reese’s. He didn’t like Bryan and he didn’t like the atmosphere in this pack. Michelle had blatantly stared at him throughout dinner, like she was undressing him with her eyes.It made his skin crawl and he shuddered slightly. Reese glanced at him, having felt it and she tried to hide her smile. “That bad huh?”“Worse.”Drake shook his head and Russo chuckled. “I thought she was going to try and sit on your lap at one point.”“I thought Reese was going to crawl over the table and rip her hand clean off,” Drake said with a grin.“Something’s not right here. I don’t know what it is, but something’s off,” Troy said.“Cleo texted me earlier. I’m going down to her room on the first floor to see her,” Reese said.Troy nodded his head. “Take Russo with you. I don’t trust Bryan’s friendliness but I can’t exactly refuse a meeting. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”“Troy, is there a way we can take Cleo with us?” Ree

Reese’s POVShe could feel Russo’s presence in the sitting room. He had kicked the door open and Bryan was flung away from her. Russo’s face appeared and she closed her eyes in relief. She was safe now. Her dress was pulled down and then Russo was gone.She smelled blood and she could hear grunts. “Russo …” she whispered. She didn’t want him to get hurt but the facts were that he was a Gamma taking on an Alpha. She had no idea how strong his aura was but at least he was twice Bryan’s size.Reese tried to turn her head but she couldn’t see anything. Russo’s bulk blocked her view and she cried with relief that he seemed unharmed. His hands slid underneath her body and then she was lifted into his arms.“I’ve got you, Reese. You’re okay,” Russo said gently.She turned her head into his chest and he held her tightly as he ran up the stairs towards their suite. In the hallway she could hear Troy and Drake’s voices. She was too exhausted to turn her head but she could hear Russo’s rumbling

Reese’s POVReese and Troy were alone in the SUV with Russo driving them. She had no idea where Drake was but she knew that Troy wouldn’t leave without him. He had to be in one of the other two SUV’s with the warriors.Her mind was still fuzzy and she didn’t remember much from just after Russo carried her out of Cleo’s rooms. She shuddered again as she thought of Cleo’s face, tear streaked and apologetic. She didn’t want to be mad at her friend, but she couldn’t help it.“Everything feels fuzzy. I thought you were meeting with Bryan in his office?” Reese directed the question at Troy and his eyes darkened once more.“Michelle tried to seduce me,” Troy said through gritted teeth.“What?” Reese was stunned and then she lowered her gaze. Intense jealousy raged through her at the thought of Michelle’s hands on Troy.“She climbed onto my lap and started touching herself. I had to physically push her off me,” Troy continued.“That fucking bitch,” Reese whispered.Troy chuckled then and Rees

Reese’s POVUpstairs in their quarters, Reese changed into pajamas while Troy headed straight for the bathroom and seconds later she heard the shower. She wanted to sleep and forget Bryan even existed, she just wanted one night’s restful sleep.Reese slid into their bed and closed her eyes. She felt at home and when the bed shifted a few moments later, she exhaled with a soft sigh. Troy moved up to right behind her and she snuggled against him. His arm snaked over her hip and then tucked it underneath her other side.Troy’s breath fanned over the back of her neck and goosebumps broke out over her skin. “I just want to hold you tonight.”She fell asleep in Troy’s arms and she was thankful that she had no nightmares. Troy’s presence calmed her and when she woke up with the sun, she felt well rested and refreshed. The drugs were completely out of her system and she smiled.Troy’s arm was still around her and she shifted slightly and turned her head to look at him. His eyes were open and
