Chapter 42

Winter POV

It’s hard not to be hurt by that yet again. Another mate doesn’t want anything to do with me. Was it me? Did I have some sort of personality flaw that screamed reject me? The man is called Alpha Kai and he’s one of the most

intimidating men l’ve ever seen in my life. I try not to dwell on the fact he’s pretty much left me in limbo, not

“I’ll organize some basic clothes for you dear. We don’t wear uniforms here but I’m sure I can rustle up some old

clothes from other omegas” she says, and I give a nod, feeling shy. But beggars can’t be choosers. I’m not exactly into
