Heck, I can barely believe it myself.I mean, most guys ignore me or look right through me.I’m used to that.
But I’ve never met anyone like Rhodes.We only spent a few minutes together, but my body is still buzzing from the experience.
The buzzing doesn’t stop for a long time.
SIX
Rhodes
Our mate rejected us,my wolf says, sounding as shocked as I feel.
No.We can still fix this,I tell him, trying to reassure him and myself that we haven’t ruined everything before it starts, even as Adeline’s car turns out of sight.
I take a deep breath and head toward my pack’s land.I don’t make it far before I run into Cyrus, Foster, and Camden.
“What’s wrong?”Camden asks as soon as he sees me.
Cyrus and Foster tense, going on high alert.
“I found my fated mate.”
They instantly relax, and smiles stretch across their faces.
“That’s great.Congratulations, man,” Camden says, clapping me on the back.
“I knew it!”Cyrus exclaims.
“Congratulations,” Foster says with an easy smile.
“Thanks.She rejected me.”
Their smiles instantly drop, and all three look startled.
“Rejected?”Foster asks.
“What the fuck did you do?”Camden demands.
“I came on too strong,” I admit with a weary sigh.
“Too strong?How is that even possible?”Cyrus asks in confusion.
“She’s not a shifter,” I explain.“She’s human.”
“Oh, my god.Did you try to bite her in downtown?”Camden cries.
I shake my head.“No!Nothing like that.I just… told her we were meant to be and asked her out.”
“Smooth,” Cyrus quips.
I glare at him.“Yeah, I know.I could tell it wasn’t going great, but I couldn’t stop myself or pull back.I mean, my mate was right in front of me.I held her, smelled her, talked to her.”
“And she walked away from you,” Cyrus finishes.
I swear I’mthisclose to punching him.Foster must sense it because he pushes Cyrus away from me and gives him a warning look.
“Shedroveaway,” I correct him as my wolf paces inside me.
“What are you going to do now?”Camden asks.
