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

accepting me but also not rejecting me as a mate. Why not just get it over and done with though? Did he have plans to use me in some way? Like a mistress?

God he’s sexy though. Muscles all over and a six-pack chest. He’s got light stubble on his chin and his eyes are a dark brown, almost black colour. He’s got scars on his face and I assume it’s from claws, maybe from a rogue? It

doesn’t bother me one bit, but I did notice that he constantly touched them as he talked. Is he self-conscious about them? Because to be honest, I liked them. But then, the second I lay eyes on him, I liked all of him. Guess it was the

mate bond. Can’t exactly say I’m thrilled with him at the moment. Neither is Sabriel. In fact she would like nothing

more than to rip him to shreds for what he’s done.

clothes to put in it, mind you. Maria seemed to follow my gaze, understanding exactly what it is I’m thinking.

“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
