“Well, too bad if you think that…but you’re still mine. You’re not going to see this Kevin guy or any
other
guys.”
“No, you don’t get to tell me what to do, and I’m not yours,” I wail at him.
“Look, here’s the deal, sweetheart. I’ve changed my mind. I’d like to keep you…and I get to keep you since you’re my true mate.” He moves dangerously close again. “You. Are. Mine.”
“I am not yours! Stay away from me,” I yell as I run back into the building.
I want to be with him, of course, Ido, but I’m still very hurt by his rejection and the pain he caused me and my wolf. A big part of me and my wolf feels

Isit quietly in my seat and my friends look at me questioningly, but none of them say anything. I’m grateful for that. However, I’ve lost my appetite. I get up to throw away the half–eaten sandwich as my eyes are slowly drawn to the popular table. Mia is sitting on Logan’s lap. They’re eating each other’s face again. All of those at the table is staring at me. Most with glee, but some with sympathy and looking a bit uneasy…like Hunter. Mia’s eyes open to look at me and she smirks, taunting me, as she pulls Logan’s mouth onto hers again. I feel Ezra’s fury.
“Bitch!” Penny spits as she notices what I’m staring at.
Why is he doing this to me? Is it because I said no to him or has it been his plan all along?
Is it possible to break the already broken heart? The answer is yes. Not like I’m going to give them the satisfaction of knowing that. I force the tears down.

How dol reject thee? Let me count the ways.

Last night I felt it again. Logan was with somebody, probably Mia. They did it over and over again. My healing stomach is decorated with new bruises. I woke up tired and cranky this morning.
“Genesis!”
Oh no, I know that voice. Kevin. He’s been bugging me today. He’s serious when he said that he’s not giving up.
“Here comes your admirer.” Penny giggles. She finds it funny. I find it very annoying, but I’ve been trying really hard not to be rude to him. I know too well how it feels like to be cruelly rejected.
“Well, I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone.” She winks at me, then makes a kissy–kissy face before leaving me with Kevin in the hallway.
“So much for being a loyal best friend!” I wanted to shout after her. “What’s up,
“What kind of flowers do you
like? Do you like red roses?” He’s been asking me random questions like that all day today.

“Yeah, sure. Why not?” I’m getting increasingly annoyed every time he stops me in the hallway or in a classroom to ask questions.
“Would you go out with me this Saturday?” He always ends it up by asking me out, and I’m so getting tired of it. How many times do you have to say NO?
“No. What part of the word no are you not getting, Kevin?” I finally snap
at him.
The look of shock to crestfallen on his face makes me feel really bad and guilty.
“I’m sorry…I’ll leave you alone now. It’s just stupid of me…I just like you…I’m sorry to bother you.” He walks away with his shoulders slumped and head down. Goddess, I’m a monster!
“Kevin! Wait!” I run after him and grab his arm. “Look, I’m sorry okay?”
“No, I’m sorry. What was I thinking? You’re way out of my league –
“No, I’m not out of your league. Pssshh..that’s just silly.”

“Yes, you are, but my friend Justin said if I keep asking, you’ll say yes…..eventually. So I kept trying. A girl like you would never go out with a guy like me.”
Oh, goddess…don’t say it, don’t say it. “Okay, I’ll go out with you.”
Gah! Isuck!

His eyes get really big. “Really?” “Yeah…” I sigh. What did just do?
Kevin’s face split into a big smile, and then I’m engulfed in a big suffocating hug. “Thank you. You won’t regret it.”
I already am.
He lets me go, and I realize that we’re the only people in the hallway. I am so late for my next class. Then I smell the scent that I both crave and dread. Logan is close by.
