Talia's POV

I did not think of how taxing it could be to keep up a lie for so long.

On the one hand, it was endearing to watch her recover some of the memories we had inside of the house. I noticed much of this and was happiest in a moment when I was mowing the lawn while she was helping by raking the dead grass to the side, gathering it all in a tall heap.

“Do you remember how Tom used to burn all the grass when he was done?" She suddenly asked, both her eyes lost in nostalgia.

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    BROKEN MIRRORS

    Lyra.Zephyron did not return until nightfall.That left me with about fifteen hours of emotional turmoil to put up with, and I did not react well to it. I paced about our bedroom once again until I was exhausted by it, and then lay in our bed and tore the sheets up when I smelt him on it, and then went out and waited for him to come back when he took too long, and returned to the room and howled angrily when he had not returned by nightfall.Sleeping on the broken glass was my final move, and I thought it was an artful, subtle way to let him know I was hurt by him.My reflection, lying in pieces on broken, cold glass when my body lay atop it all, daring to cut my skin. Yes. That felt proper enough for me.I found it very dramatic, even for myself, that I ended up sleeping on those pieces of glass, and that it took the subconscious alertness of my wolf to his presence to wake me up and find him watching me.He was quiet without a word, and something about that pricked at me as I sat u

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    MIRROR MIRROR IN THE ROOM

    LyraI paced about the room, even as it felt increasingly small.Zephyron and that girl? Of all the girls in Blackridge Academy?During our previous break ups, where I had left Zephyron as would happen between us once in a while when I would want something far different and he would want something else, I often gave us breaks while assured that we would get back together no matter what. Then I heard about Aurelia.I knew her, and laughed so hard when I heard about it. What threat could a girl with a weak wolf have posed to my relationship with Zephyron Duskmere? I paid it zero attention and lived my life.I might have gone on without doing it, though…Then the stories became more worrisome. She was just as obsessed with him as he was with me, and he was going to choose her as his mate because she had been there in my absence, when I was not.So I had to come back.In actuality, I hate all this back and forth between us. There were times in the past that I feared that I did not truly

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    To What Cannot Be

    Aurelia.His long fingers interlocked with mine and closed hard.I kissed him back with everything I had to give, the whole entirety of my being, and breathed in because I wanted him to be a part of me too, to permeate me and fill me and become one with me and no one else.We kissed for a while before he picked me up and took me to the sofa, where he dropped me in a way that was as rough as it was careful. Then he leaned over me and eased his body upon mine, his fingers finding my hands and locking with them again. Soon, his hands began to stray, reaching for my buttons and undoing them, and I remembered that I had no memories of ever being with a man before.I had no memory of kissing anyone at all, so I tried to respond by doing what I had seen a couple do in a romcom I watched during the six months I had spent at home while Talia left and went to school.I reached for his briefs and grabbed his crotch.Little prepared me for the hard part of him that was waiting there, but since he

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    INTERRUPTIONS

    Aurelia.I buried my face in my hands and took in a deep breath."I'm sorry," I whispered, trying hard to keep myself under control. "I just really wanted to make it special for you and I did it all by myself. Stop trying to eat it to make me feel better-"I was interrupted by Kai picking up his fork and knife again, and continuing where he stopped without a word, while Talia looked at both of us. It made me so uncomfortable that I got up and left the dining room and went outside for a calming walk.Outside, it was just starting to get cold and the streets were becoming empty. Kai's bike was parked outside on our front lawn, and I touched it a little bit before I went past, going to a public bench that was outside to sit and calm myself down.How disappointing, I thought.I had hoped to make it special, but the meal was bad and I hated how he was trying to swallow it just for my sake. It might have made someone else smile, but it only made me feel useless.If only I could remember thi

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    ROAST TURKEY

    Aurelia.I planned dinner for Kai and forgot one important thing.I had zero memory of remembering how to even cook anything, but somehow wanted to do it with my own hands and all by myself, so that I could tell him that I had done it for him. "So long as you don't burn down the house," Talia said when I told her about it. "Roasted chicken cannot be so difficult, no?"It certainly didn't look difficult on the recipe books that I was reading, and I even changed plans when I got to the supermarket and found a large turkey there, which I added to a cart filled with some juice, wine and vegetables. By evening, I had a big, pink, raw turkey with me in the kitchen without the slightest idea of where exactly to begin or what to start doing first to cook it.My phone buzzed and the caller was Kai."Hello?" He asked."Hey there," I responded, subconsciously shaking my free hand."You said tonight. When exactly will you be expecting me?""At 9 PM.""I'll be there," he said.I put down the phon

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    THE LAST TWENTY-FIVE

    Aurelia.I wanted to be shameless, to go low and kiss him on the lips again, but just not in front of everyone. Reluctantly, I let go and stood up, offering him a hand which he took, pulling himself up with the least effort. Now I was sure that he had let me win.Coach Vance's whistle blew again, shaking everyone into order."Now, now, you have had your fun watching them. Everybody back to the final drill of the morning, which involves the use of your senses to discover your opponent. Don't forget that on my whistle, the attacker engages from behind. The defender must adapt, redirect, and neutralize within three seconds. If you fail to neutralize, your pair will be cut."Murmurs rose through the students, but everyone did as he asked."Turn around, Aurelia," Kai said quietly. "This is a hard, high-level drill, and I want you to trust your senses more than anything else, even yourself. Don't try to even look for me, but listen to the wind and smell the air."I turned my back to him, f

    Talia's POV The first sign that made me certain that Aurelia would live was her healing scar, and I broke down in tears and cried when I saw it happen. The Alpha had called me over to see it. The wound was closing slowly given our natural healing powers, but it was closing, with the pink flesh

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    THE DARK SECRETS

    Talia's POV Every time I remember that part of the ritual, I remain awed by how much he bled. The way he stood still before he cut himself was the same way he stood as the blood dropped, and he stood for the rest of the night. The whole time I watched, even listening to the blood drop. Drip. Dr

  • REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET    THE HIDDEN PLACE

    Talia's POV I did not miss how unimpressed he was by my concession. Somehow, to me, it was the clearest sign that he was not involved with the people who wanted Aurelia dead—namely, Headmistress Selene and whoever else. I imagined that he would have been happy to see me give up and reconsider af

    Talia's POV The car came to a stop right where I stood. I was still too dazed to do anything when the door opened and out came a man who looked like he was in his thirties, with slight wrinkles on his face to indicate an age advanced past youth, and a tall, powerful figure that alerted me to the
