Chapter 8: Rejection…

Lyla

My head was still reeling from the near-death experience of having one of the most shattering orgasms I’ve ever had while a small smile played on my lips.

Alpha Ramsey was my mate… fated to me by the Moon Goddess… finally, I wouldn’t have to bother about my damning heat cycles… I had a mate now… and he wanted me as much as I wanted him too. I clung to him, my heart swelling with the hope that he was on the same page as me. No wonder he had come for me.

I felt him pull away from me, disentangling himself without a word. I watched him with a satisfied smile as he rose to his feet, and reached for his discarded clothes that was when I snapped back to reality.

Why was he leaving already? Aren’t we supposed to cuddle and at least talk about what has just happened?

“You’re leaving?” I asked, my voice filled with disappointment.

He ignored me – instead, his expression hardened, turning cold as he adjusted his clothes. He didn’t look at me, didn’t say a word as he fastened his belt and straightened his shirt. I felt the warmth of our shared moment evaporating, replaced by the mask of indifference he had on now.

“Ramsey…” I whimpered hating the way my voice felt so small like a kitten’s.

He finally turned to me, a bored expression on his face.

“Get dressed,” he said curtly, “And leave ten minutes after I do. Just make sure you’re not seen.”

I blinked, confusion and hurt washing over me, my eyes widening in shock. “What? Ramsey… we just…”
