All Chapters of Once rejected, twice shy: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Reese’s POVTroy was fast asleep on his side of the bed by the time she finally emerged from the bathroom, hot and bothered. She only had herself to blame for her predicament. She’d told him not to expect sex from her, to get used to his hand. She could kick herself right about now.She found her saran wrapped sandwich on the kitchen counter and made a face before putting the plate in the fridge. She had no appetite anymore, at least not for food. Her nipples were still hard and brushed against her pajama top uncomfortably.Trying to sleep didn’t help much, not so close to Troy, who seemed oblivious to her presence. She couldn’t even blame him for being a dick, because she’d been a dick first. She clamped a hand over her mouth as the laughter threatened to burst through. She could do with a dick now.Her sleep was restless and dreams of a naked Troy haunted her. She woke up with her hand down her pajama bottoms and her own arousal flooding her panties. Troy wasn’t in bed anymore and s

Reese’s POVReese showered and washed the sweat and dirt from the day from her hair. She shaved and scrubbed, using the new shower gel she’d made that morning with the extracts from the Madden flower. She loved its smell and breathed it in deeply.Inside the dressing room, she noticed the gaps on Troy’s side immediately. Most of his suits were gone and she walked over to his side and pulled open a drawer. His underwear and socks were considerably less too.‘Fuck,’ she thought. He’d moved out of their room. With a pang of sadness she got dressed and wondered if he’d moved out of the Alpha Suite too. She didn’t think he would with the King coming to stay with them.Reese left her hair loose and decided against any make up. In the coming days, the King would see her au natural for himself, so there really was no point in wearing it now. The dress she wore was a mix between a sundress and a beach dress, coming to rest on her knees and it showed no cleavage.It was better than her normal f

Reese’s POVReese was about to open her mouth to say something to Troy but he pushed past her and slammed the guest bedroom door so loudly she could feel the vibrations through her shoes. She sighed and started clearing the table.She spent an hour washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, wondering why Max would say all that stuff in front of Troy, he was deliberately trying to piss Troy off and she had no idea why. She sighed as she walked past Troy’s room and closed the master bedroom door behind her.She took off her dress and pulled on a tank top over her panties and slid into bed, too tired to do anything else. She was asleep the moment her head hit the pillow and she dreamt of Troy. They were back on the island when he still liked her and touched her.Reese woke up as immense sadness overshadowed everything else and she wiped the tears from her cheeks. She couldn’t believe she’d been crying in her sleep. It was a definite first for her. She rolled over to the edge of the bed

Reese’s POVThe days passed swiftly and if it weren’t for the King’s presence, Reese would’ve thought that everything was fine. Troy had held a pack meeting out in the open in front of the packhouse, with the King standing on his right and Reese standing behind them.The pack had rallied behind Troy and members that had been abroad or working in other cities had all returned home. Celebrations were limited although Troy had made provisions for the Luna Blue Moon feast.Reese was filled with nervous excitement. As the pack’s Luna she’d have a twenty minute head start before Troy would shift and start to hunt her. The objective was for her to run and for Troy to find her and mate her.It signified a bountiful year for the pack and was seen as disastrous if the Luna outsmarted her Alpha. Reese was very worried about that because Troy had been avoiding her, sleeping in the guest room and leaving before she even woke up in the mornings.The whole pack would congregate in front of the packh

Reese’s POVShe was still on their bed, naked, shivering and feeling sated. Troy was sitting on the edge of the bed, his head lowered into his hands. It was the first time they’d been alone in almost a week and Reese wasn’t sure what to say to him.“What the fuck were you thinking?” Troy asked her.“You weren’t complaining when you were sticking your cock down my throat,” Reese said and sat up on the bed.“If you need to be fucked, send me a text and I’ll oblige,” Troy said.“Fuck you!” Reese yelled and pushed him off the bed. “So you can jerk off in the shower but I can’t do the same, you fucking hypocrite?”Troy had managed to regain his balance and he looked at the anger swirling in Reese’s eyes. He was being a hypocrite and she clearly had no idea how strongly he’d reacted to her masturbation session.Troy took a deep breath and counted backwards from ten. “My wolf marked you, Reese. That means the bond flows stronger into me. You made me fucking cum in my pants … in front of Drak
