Rejected By The Asshole novel Chapter 8

He chuckled and said, "You don't have to be scared Zoe I won't hurt you. And by the way, thanks for the kiss." He gave me a wink and a cheeky grin.

I giggled. Then he said, "Want me to help you with your shower?" He had a smirk on and I blushed profusely and said with a stutter,"N-no th-thank yo-you."

He chuckled and kissed me on the cheek and said with a smirk, "It's your lost babe."

I blushed because of the pet name he gave me and quickly went into the bathroom and took a shower. I used his shampoo and stayed under the shower because it has been 12 years since I last had a hot shower. 12!

I took a fluffy white towel and wrapped it around my body and went into his room. As he said, I went into his closet and gasp cause his closet is huge! I took a black shirt and sweatpants and put it on.

I went to the bed, pulled the covers, layed down and pulled the covers again. When I was almost asleep I heard the door open then closed and felt a dip in the bed.

I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and felt sparks fly. I knew it was Aaron. He kissed my forehead and whispered, "Sweet dreams Zoe." I snuggled closer to his chest and sighed contently.

It must have been the best sleep I ever had because I had my mate by my side.

Riley's POV

I went out of the pack house, stripped behind a tree, shifted and ran.

I was really happy that Aaron found his mate and I hope everything works well for them. I found a pond and I decided to rest.

While I was resting the same question kept popping into my head, "Why can't our mate be like that?"

I whimpered silently and suddenly I heard a branch snap.

Snap!

I got on all fours and got to my defense position. I saw a black wolf with grey at the tips of its tail appear from behind the trees. It looked huge and I guessed it was an Alpha. I was about to bow my head for respect when I caught his scent.

I quickly got my head up and growled. He looked amused to see me. Why? I have no bloody idea.

I was just wandering around the woods when my mates scent hit me and I thought to myself while smirking, "Time to put my plan into action." My wolf growled at me and shook his head. I just ignored him and went to find my precious mate.

After our game of 'chase' and licking her cheek, I shifted back and thought while smirking,

"Step 1 complete. Now time for step 2."

Riley's POV

When I reached home, it was already late so I snuck through my bedroom window and changed into an over size t-shirt and wore shorts. I love oversize shirts. They make me feel comfortable somehow and it makes me feel a bit relaxed. Weird right?

As soon as my head touched my pillow I fell into a deep sleep.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I groaned and hit my alarm clock.I stayed in bed for a few minutes than got up. I felt a tad weird today but I shrugged it of.
