“I fucked him. Oh shit, that wasn’t supposed to happen,” I shout as I grip my hair in my hands and start pacing the room.
“Fucked who?” Ryker asks. At the same time, Penelope’s mouth drops open in realisation.
“How come you didn’t tell me how hard it was to fight this pull? I don’t want it; I don’t want him,” I say as a sob escapes me and I fall to my knees.
They both wrap their arms around me and offer me comfort.
How could I have given in so easily?
Chapter Five
Isaac
I watch my mate leave as fast as her legs can take her. I feel like complete shit.
I wasn’t planning on moving so fast. I wanted to give us time to get to know one another, but then I caught the smile she had when she talked to Max, and jealousy invoked a passion I had never felt before. Once I had a taste of her, I couldn’t seem to stop myself.
The possessive part of me took over. My wolf did not like her smiling for another man.
I know Hailey has always wanted Max. She always hoped that she was his mate and, when it turned out that wasn’t true and it was me, she was completely disappointed and hurt.
I didn’t help much with my initial rejection of her.
The plan was to gain her trust in me and show her I wasn’t the person she thought I was.
Everything got fucked up, and I take full responsibility.
I look down at myself in disgust when I see the blood on my cock.
Fuck, she was a virgin. How could I just fuck her that way when she has never had sex before?
I let out a scream of frustration before putting on some clothes, heading downstairs to the gym, and hitting the punching bag to release all my anger.
Sweat is dripping from me as I hit the bag harder and harder.
I jump at the sound of someone shouting my name and turn around to see Ryker, Calvin, and Jet standing there looking at me with wide eyes.
“What?” I snap before looking down at myself to see that my hands are covered in blood, since I never bothered to put gloves on.
“It’ll heal,” I say with a shrug.
“Do you want to tell us what happened?” Calvin asks, slowly walking closer as if he’s approaching a wild animal.
“I fucked up. I keep fucking up,” I roar in defeat.
“Right, we got that. Hailey is with Penny. I left after she stopped crying,” Ryker says, anger coating his words.
I let out a sigh and drop down onto the floor. All three guys follow me and wait for me to speak.
“It wasn’t supposed to happen like that. We were getting along great, and I knew we needed to take things slow if I wanted it to work and then, fuck, she was talking to Max on the phone, and I couldn’t help but get jealous that I never have seen her smile like that for anyone but him. I couldn’t stand the thought of anyone but me making her smile like that, or touching her, and all sense was lost. Fuck. I never would have wanted her first time to be like that. I should have taken my time and shown her how much she means to me, but instead I took her like a wild animal,” I tell them.
“Wow,” Calvin says surprised.
I look up at Ryker; he’s her best friend and his opinion means the most.
“The mate pull is stronger than anyone thinks it is. I had never even kissed Penelope before we decided to mate,” Ryker says softly.
I let out a sigh. “What am I supposed to do now? I doubt she will want to be near me ever again. Meanwhile, my wolf is practically clawing at my insides just to get closer to her.”
