My Alpha Only Ever Said Fine. novel Chapter 26

Chapter 9

Wesley’s back stiffened for a split second.

But he kept speaking with the officers, expression unchanged.

Rachel grew frantic. “Wesley, you have a pup! Did you hear? Do you hear me or not?!”

“Ma’am, this is a police station. Please quiet down,” someone reminded her.

Kayla’s eyes shimmered, but she forced herself to act calm. “Mom, stop. Let Wesley finish dealing with

things first.”

And finally, Wesley turned around. His voice was cold.

“There’s nothing left to deal with.”

He faced both women, expression like carved stone.

“Lauren spent a year and a half in werewolf prison because of you two. Every part of it was caused by your

choices.”

“Now the consequences have come. I won’t risk the Pack’s future any further. Mom… you’re on your own.”

Rachel’s face bleached white. Her entire body sagged as if something essential had been ripped out of her.

I turned to leave. Eric laced his fingers through mine and guided me toward the exit.

We reached the car when Wesley suddenly stepped in front of the window. Eric instantly went rigid, positioning himself between us with an Alpha’s instinctive defensive posture.

I touched his arm lightly, telling him to stand down.

Wesley’s eyes were bloodshot, frighteningly so.

“Lauren.”

He drew in a shaky breath.

“My mother was foolish. What she did, I’m apologizing to you. You want to go through legal channels? I

won’t interfere.”

“These past days, I’ve thought things through. Anyone who has ever hurt you… I won’t let them go

unpunished.”

His gaze was raw pain mixed with ruthless resolve.

“Tomorrow, I’ll break my mate bond with Kayla. As for the pup, it won’t be born.”

I frowned.

“Your family affairs have nothing to do with me. And among those who hurt me, you were one of them.”

Wesley went quiet for a few seconds. Then he smiled. A smile so broken it looked like it tore him from the

inside.

“I know. That’s why I’m doing this… as punishment for myself. To see you happy… I really am glad.”

Eric finally scoffed, unable to hold back.

“Oh? Alpha Wesley wants redemption? Going from scum to tragic lover overnight?”

His tone was ice-cold.

“No one cares how you feel. And as long as I’m here, in my wife’s eyes, there will never be a place for you.

I squeezed Eric’s hand gently, ending the scene.

“Wesley, we are strangers now.”

I closed the window. The car pulled away.

In the rearview mirror, Wesley stood alone, hollowed out, watching as we grew farther and farther away.

Ian sat curled in Eric’s arms, eating candy, blinking up at me.

“Mom? Why was that male crying?”

I squeezed his tiny fingers and smiled.

“Because he has too much water in his head. So it leaked out through his eyes.”

Ian blinked seriously, trying hard to absorb this “fact.”

Eric couldn’t hold it back, a low, muffled laugh escaped him.

His broad, warm hand slid over mine, solid and steady.

The kind of quiet, unwavering love that didn’t demand anything, but built a home around me.

Happiness came softly.

Skyla’s POV

“Skyla, Selene, Sebastian-get down here now!” our mom, Luna Camilla, shouted from downstairs.

“Breakfast is ready, and we still need to go over the final details for your birthday party.”

Oh, right! I probably should’ve mentioned this earlier-we’re triplets, and tomorrow we turn 18!

It’s a huge deal in our world. Tomorrow, we’ll not only discover who our fated mates are, but we’ll also shift for the first time at exactly 11:12 p.m.-the minute we were all born.

“Triple S, move it or you’ll be late for school!”

That’s what Dad calls us when we’re dragging our feet. It’s his way of rounding us up all at once.

While I’m getting ready, let me give you a quick intro to Triple S.

First up: Sebastian, the oldest of us three.

He’s a towering 6’8 with warm almond-toned skin like Mom’s, and he’s just as muscular and athletic as

Dad.

His piercing blue eyes are bound to make his mate melt the moment she meets him.

He keeps his long dreadlocks meticulously groomed, and even though half the girls in school can’t stop flirting with him, Sebastian’s saving himself for his mate.

He’s not just my brother-he’s my best friend and the future Alpha of our pack.

Then there’s me. I’m the middle triplet.

I’ve got a golden-beige complexion and hazel eyes like Dad.

Physically, I’m in great shape because I’ve been secretly training extra hours with Dad.

You see, the Moon Goddess gave my parents a vision-my wolf is supposed to be something special once l

shift.

But no one really knows what I look like underneath my baggy hoodies and loose joggers. I wear oversized

clothes on purpose-I’d rather avoid the stares.

And I always wear glasses, which doesn’t help. People call me names-“ugly,” “fat,” “four-eyes.”

If only they knew the truth.

And then, sigh, there’s Selene.

She’s got radiant bronze skin, chestnut eyes, and long hair she always keeps sleek and straight.

She’s undeniably gorgeous-but she’s a walking flirt.

Lately, she’s been shamelessly chasing the future Alpha of the neighboring pack.

Since their school burned down, we’ve been sharing a campus with their pack, and Selene treats it like her own personal runway.

We finally make our way downstairs.

Sebastian’s dressed in slim-fit jeans, a V-neck tee, and the brand-new Jordans that just dropped.

I’m layered up in my usual oversized hoodie and loose joggers, rocking my trusty Vapormax sneakers-even though it’s blazing hot outside in Arkansas.

Selene, true to form, is dressed like she’s headed to a nightclub-miniskirt, skintight low-cut top, and five-inch red heels.

Time to head to school.

I’m not a fan, but at least it’s our last year, and I’ve kept a perfect GPA.

“Mom, Dad, I don’t want to ride with Skyla. She’s so embarrassing,” Selene groaned.

“Yes, you are riding with her,” Dad said firmly. “Your brother’s already gone and you’ve totaled three cars

this year.”

“STAY AWAY FROM ME AT SCHOOL, NERD!” she screeched at me as we walked out.

Great. This is going to be a long day.

But thank the Moon Goddess it’s Friday!

Chapter2

Skyla’s POV

We finally make it to school, though Selene didn’t stop complaining the entire ride.

I pulled into my usual parking spot-one of the designated spaces for Alpha family members-behind the wheel of my sleek black 2023 Dodge Durango SRT. Right beside me, Sebastian’s glossy black 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was already parked.

Yeah, our parents are loaded. In the human world, Dad’s a wildly successful entrepreneur with more businesses than I can count.

On the other side of Sebastian’s car sat a deep navy Tesla Model S, and the moment Selene squealed like she’d won the lottery, I knew exactly who it belonged to-Cassian Mercer, the future Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack.

I do my best to avoid Cassian. For some reason, he absolutely hates me.

He leads the pack when it comes to name-calling and insults. It doesn’t help that our birthdays fall on the

same day-tomorrow. His twin sister Alexia and I share the date too. Since our families are so close and

Selene’s convinced Cassian is her mate, our dads decided to throw one massive birthday bash for all of us.

Even though Cassian treats me like garbage, I won’t lie-he’s ridiculously good-looking.

He stands about 6’8, just like Sebastian.

He’s got these intense green eyes-yes, this smooth-skinned, bronze-toned man has emerald green eyes that could make you forget your name.

His hair is always laid in tight waves, the kind you want to run your fingers through. And don’t get me

started on those abs-always visible under those fitted tees he wears like a second skin.

Wait. No. Snap out of it, Skyla.

I hate him just as much as he hates me. Period.

The moment I get to my locker, the usual chorus of insults begins.

“Hey fatso, nerd, loser, ugly, four-eyes,” they snicker from down the hallway.

They always wait until Sebastian isn’t around to start.

Selene, her flock of mean-girl clones, and Cassian are always front and center in the cruelty parade.

I never say a word. The unspoken rule around here? “Snitches get stitches.”

But I’m not scared of them. Not one bit.

My dad says I’m strong enough to take down anyone-even an Alpha.

I’ve already learned how to make him submit when we spar, and that’s saying something.

Cassian might hate me, but his twin sister Alexia? She’s my best friend.

She’s always trying to get me to dress a little less… baggy. She wants me to ditch my oversized hoodies and definitely those chunky glasses.

We’re werewolves, after all-I don’t actually need them.

Alexia strolls up, slings an arm around my shoulder, and sighs. “Skyla, why do you let them treat you like that? You know you could wipe the floor with them. So why are you holding back?”

I don’t answer her. Instead, I pull my books from my locker and say with a tired breath, “Let’s just go to

class.”

At least Alexia and I have every class together. That’s a win.

My brother’s best friend Tristan-soon to be Beta-and his future Gamma Paxton are in my first few periods too.

They always keep a close eye out for trouble and report back to Sebastian if anything happens, which keeps things fairly uneventful.

It’s the only part of my day I can actually breathe without having to be on guard.

Then the bell rings-lunchtime.

Oh joy. Time to reunite with all my beloved peers at Blue Moon High. (Can you hear the sarcasm?)

Right on cue, the fat jokes start rolling in.

I brace myself. “Just ignore it, Skyla. You know none of it’s true,” I remind myself.

And I do know it. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

What cuts deepest isn’t the cruelty from strangers-it’s the betrayal from my own sister.

She laughs with them. Every. Single. Time.

Skyla’s POV

Alexia and I walk into the lunch room.

“Alexia, why are you hanging with that loser?”

“Hey biggie, you should skip lunch.”

“Alexia, sit over here with us and let the loser eat alone.”

Everyone is pointing and laughing.

My eyes tear up but I won’t give them the satisfaction of letting one fall.

Suddenly, I’m no longer hungry and turn and run out only to run straight into someone landing straight on

my ass.

“Watch where you’re going ugly bitch!”

Cassian shouts as he kicks me in the side.

“I feel sorry for whoever will be tied to you as a mate. He’s probably going to reject your pathetic ass as soon as he lays eyes on you. After all, who would want a weak, pathetic, fat four eyed bitch as a mate. I bet you will be alone for the rest of your miserable life. Look at how you dress. Who would want to be seen with you?”

Cassian continued to shout at me and then finally, he walked off after kicking me in the face.

I know that will leave a nasty bruise.

I stayed there for a moment wondering why people could be so cruel.

Sebastian walks in and sees me lying in the hallway floor crying.

He sits beside me and wraps his arm around me screaming, “Who the fuck did this to you Skyla?”

Tristan and Paxton walk up and they are just as mad as Sebastian because they see me as their little sister as

well.

I don’t answer.

I just lean into Sebastian and cry. “Skyla, answer me, damn it! Who did this to you?”

I cry even harder.

He kisses me on my forehead and said, “I will leave it alone for now but if I find out who it is, they have a

beat down coming!”

I just mind linked my Mom and told her I didn’t feel well and wanted to come home.

My Dad is at the school in a meeting with the Superintendent about some rogue sightings at the edge of the woods closest to the school but I didn’t want him to see me like this because it would be hell to pay and I much as I hate Cassian, I didn’t want him to die today if my Sebastian or my Dad found out.

My Dad, is an Alpha that you don’t want to fuck with. Get your neck twisted if you tried.

My Dad does not play about his princess.

Yes, I’m a Daddy’s girl in case you haven’t figured that out yet.

Mom told me I can come home; so, I’m out of this hell hole.

Maybe she will let me skip the shifting night tomorrow night.

Alpha Orion, Luna Jocelyn, Cassian, Alexia, his future Beta, Yale and future Gamma, Beckett will all be staying in our pack to help prepare for the shifting night.

FML….. Why can’t they have their own shifting night at the Bloodmoon Pack?

Selene’s POV

I’m perched on Cassian’s lap in the middle of the cafeteria, my tongue halfway down his throat, when I spot my sister walking in-with his twin, Alexia.

Without thinking, I start hurling insults at her. The whole table bursts into laughter.

I know it’s cruel. I know she’s my sister.

But I don’t care.

Honestly, she deserves it.

Dad treats her like she hung the damn moon. His little perfect princess.

Sure, Skyla’s got the straight A’s, she follows all the rules, and does exactly what he asks-but still. I’m his daughter too.

And what do I get?

They handed Sebastian and Skyla brand-new cars as early birthday gifts.

And me? I’ve wrecked four, and now I have to ride to school with her-just because Dad refuses to buy me

another one.

We’re rich.

He could buy me one with zero effort. But no.

He said if I want a new car, I can work part-time at his company like they do and earn the money myself.

Absolutely not.

Why should I slave away like some lowly pack pup when I know exactly what my future holds?

I’m going to be the Luna of the Bloodmoon Pack-Cassian’s Luna.

Their family’s just as wealthy as ours, and once we’re mated, I’ll never have to lift a finger.

Skyla ran out of the lunchroom crying, just like I knew she would.

She won’t say a word. I made sure she knows what’ll happen if she does.

If she even thinks about telling anyone, I’ll make her life a living hell.

More than it already is.

Tonight’s the shift.

Our eighteenth birthday.

According to legend, one of us is destined to become the Golden Wolf-a powerful being blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.

And I know it’s me.

It has to be.

Once I shift and it’s revealed, everyone will see that I’m meant for greatness.

Cassian and I will be unstoppable. The ultimate power couple.

Skyla? Please. She’s weak. Soft. Pathetic. She couldn’t handle power if it begged her.

Sebastian? He’s too gentle. Always fussing over Skyla, checking in on her like she’s some fragile little bird.

Maybe that softness will make him a decent Alpha someday. He is a good big brother, I’ll give him that.

Still…

I can’t pretend I don’t feel the sting when I see how close he and Mom and Dad are with Skyla.

But none of that will matter.

Not after tonight.

Not when I shift and the truth comes out.

They’ll all see.

They’ll finally see me.

Just wait until they see me as the Golden Wolf.

Chapter5

Luna Camilla’s POV

It’s hard to believe the triplets are turning eighteen tomorrow.

Feels like just yesterday when my mate and his father-who was still Alpha at the time-came to my old pack, the Silvermoon Pack, to formalize an alliance.

Back then, I was just the Beta’s 19-year-old daughter, and Dorian Bellamy was a striking 21-year-old future

Alpha.

The moment our eyes met, we knew-we were mates.

I couldn’t believe this tall, gorgeous, caramel-skinned man was mine.

That night, while the rest of the pack slept, he snuck into my room.

We made love until sunrise.

But the next morning, he shattered everything.

He stood in front of me and said,

“I, Dorian Bellamy, future Alpha of the Bluemoon Pack, reject you, Camilla Monroe, to be my mate and

future Luna.”

I accepted his rejection with my head held high, refusing to let him see how deeply he’d broken me.

What neither of us knew then was that he wasn’t just walking away from me…

He was walking away from three lives growing inside me.

Halfway through my pregnancy, the Bluemoon Pack held a ceremony to celebrate Dorian’s ascension as

Alpha.

My family was expected to attend.

Though my parents already knew I was pregnant, I begged them to let me handle things on my own. I told them if they didn’t, I’d run away. They respected my wishes and stood by me.

As I was unpacking in one of the guest rooms at Bluemoon, Dorian barged in, fury in his eyes. He grabbed my

arm roughly and growled,

“You let another man touch what’s mine?”

I yanked my arm away.

“You don’t get to say that,” I snapped. “You gave up your claim on me the day you rejected me.”

His voice dropped, and the golden hue overtook his eyes-his wolf had taken over.

“Whose baby is that, Camilla?” he growled.

But I wasn’t scared-I was just as furious.

Locking eyes with him, I said, “You’re the only man I’ve ever been with-if I can even call you that. You’re the sperm donor of my three babies. You rejected me, and that means you rejected them too. And you’ll stay

far away from us.’

Something in him snapped at those words.

A single tear slid down his cheek before he leapt out the window, shifting mid-air into his powerful jet-black wolf, and vanished into the woods.

As I prepare for my former pack to arrive for the party, all those memories come flooding back.

It wasn’t easy for Dorian to win me back after what he did.

But over time, I forgave him.

We married before the babies were born-something not required in the wolf world, but Dorian wanted everyone to know I was his chosen mate, both in our realm and in the human one.

And so, eighteen years ago, I officially became Luna of the Bluemoon Pack.

And even after everything… I still love that fine Alpha of mine.

Skyla’s POV

The Night of the Shift

It was 4 a.m., and I was wide awake.

I still couldn’t believe we were finally eighteen. Even though we wouldn’t shift until 11:12 p.m., I knew I’d be able to sense my mate before then.

Maybe just maybe-it would be someone from my mom’s old pack. Someone who could take me away from this place.

I had everything lined up to graduate early. I’d miss my mom, dad, Breck, and Alexia, but definitely not the rest of the jerks around here.

Since there was no way I’d fall back asleep, I decided to head down to the kitchen for a snack.

Oreos dipped in milk were my favorite.

I threw on my oversized hoodie and matching sweats and headed downstairs. But the moment my foot hit the bottom step, I was engulfed by the most intoxicating scent I’d ever smelled.

It was a blend of musk and Savage-my favorite cologne.

I recognized that cologne because my brother wore it sometimes, but this scent… this wasn’t Sebastian. This was something else. Something more.

I stood there, completely mesmerized, drawn in by the mouthwatering scent, wondering who it could be.

Was this love at first smell?

Just as I was lost in the sensation, a sharp slap to my face snapped me back to reality. Before I could react, a hand wrapped tightly around my throat. Sparks shot through me-just like in the stories. Then came the words I think, deep down, I’d always feared were coming.

“You of all people! You’re nothing but trash to me. How could the Moon Goddess screw up this badly by pairing me with someone like you? You’re weak. Ugly. Fat. You have no class. You’re a nerd. I wouldn’t be caught dead with a pathetic bitch like you! 1, Cassian Mercer, future Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, reject you, Skyla Selene, as my mate and future Luna.”

And that was it.

Mates are supposed to be loving-gentle. What happened to the stories of love at first sight?

I remembered my mom once told me how my dad had rejected her at first, but later asked for forgiveness,

and he’d treated her like royalty ever since.

But I would never forgive this guy. Ever. Even if he somehow did come crawling back-not that someone like

him would.

He’d been with Selene. I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole.

Oddly, it didn’t hurt the way everyone said rejection does. What I felt wasn’t heartbreak.

It was pure, burning rage.

I tore his hand off my throat, locked eyes with him, and said, “Do you honestly think I’d want to be mated to you? The guy who slept with my skanky sister? The guy who’s treated me like garbage from the very beginning? I, Skyla Bellamy, accept your rejection!”

Then I turned and walked back up the stairs, completely satisfied with the stunned expression frozen on his

face.

I’d forgotten all about my snack.

Alpha Dorian’s POV

As I sat in my office, it was hard to believe that my pups were turning eighteen today.

Eighteen years ago, I nearly ruined everything with my beautiful Camilla.

Thankfully, she gave me a second chance and accepted me back as her mate, making me the happiest man

alive.

Even now, every time we touch, the sparks between us still send shivers down my spine.

Just thinking about her is enough to stir something in me.

Maybe I should head back to bed and enjoy some time with my sexy mate.

I sensed someone approaching my office.

The closer they got, the more certain I was-it was Skyla.

I could recognize my daughter’s scent anywhere, and I could feel her emotions, too.

Before she could even knock, I called out, “Come in.”

“What’s on your mind, Princess?” I asked as she stepped inside.

She let out a sigh before speaking.

“Daddy, does the offer still stand for me to go to the Alpha King’s pack and train the she-wolves there, since they know I’m the strongest female wolf in the world?”

“What made you change your mind, Princess?” I asked.

With a soft smile, she replied, “Please don’t get mad, Daddy, but I’m actually relieved it happened. Cassian rejected me, and I just don’t want to be around him at school anymore.”

Even though anger simmered inside me, I kept my composure. I didn’t want Skyla to see how furious I really

was.

I assured her that the Alpha King and his pack would be thrilled she had accepted the offer. I also told her I’d make the necessary arrangements for her to receive her diploma early and leave Monday morning.

Then I reminded her to get ready for the shifting ceremony tonight.

She doesn’t know the real reason I wanted her to go, but she’ll find out soon enough.

Honestly, I’m glad that mutt rejected her-it’s all part of the Moon Goddess’s plan.

Skyla’s POV

Time to Get Ready for the Shifting Night

As I slowly made my way back to my room, a thought crossed my mind–I was going to show that sorry

excuse of a mate exactly what he was missing. But there was one problem: I had nothing to wear that

screamed badass she-wolf.

The moment I opened my door, I was met with excited squeals.

It was Alexia-my best friend-and my other closest friends whom I usually only get to see when I visit my grandparents at the Silvermoon Pack. I squealed in delight, “Alexia! Savannah! Veronica! Eliza! What are you doing in my room?”

The triplets-daughters of Alpha Mason and Luna Kat-grinned and shouted in unison, “We’re about to turn you into a bad bitch!”

I couldn’t help the massive smile that spread across my face.

In my head, I whispered, Watch yourself, Cassian. You won’t know what hit you.

First, I soaked in a relaxing bubble bath in the ensuite jacuzzi tub.

After that, Alexia worked her magic straightening my natural, kinky ginger hair until it flowed smoothly down my back. Savannah took over to do my nails, while Eliza pampered my toes. Now, Veronica was finishing up my makeup-or a “face beat,” as they liked to call it.

I rarely wore makeup, so they refused to let me look until everything was done.

When Veronica was finally finished, they guided me to my bed-still not letting me peek at the final look in the mirror. On the bed sat a box, a diamond bracelet, and a single yellow rose-my favorite flower, and clearly from my Dad.

Attached was a handwritten note:

“Princess, knowing you as I do, I figured you didn’t give much thought to what you’d wear tonight. So I sent the girls to pick out a dress for you. You’re already beautiful, but tonight, that beauty will shine even brighter. And I hope you’ll come to see just how special you truly are.

Love,

Dad.”

When I opened the box, I could hardly believe my eyes.

Inside was the most stunning black dress I had ever seen-perfect for tonight’s all-black affair. The girls

helped me slip into it, and it fit like it was made just for me. It hugged every curve just right.

It was a halter-style dress, low-cut but not too revealing-just enough to tease with a bit of cleavage from ny C cups. The slit hit mid-thigh, and the open back dipped low enough to reveal a secret: the purple butterfly tattoo just above my butt, the one no one knew about. Alexia and I had gotten it during a secret trip

to the tattoo parlor.

My friends completed the look with dangling diamond earrings, the bracelet from my dad, and my peep-toe

ed-bottom heels.

For the finishing touches, they spritzed me with a little Jimmy Choo, I Want Choo Forever.

When they finally turned me to face the full-length mirror, I was stunned.

The woman staring back at me was fire-undeniably hot. And I knew it.

I was HOT and I knew it.

The girls were already ready and it was time to show all of them that mistreated me that I am one fine ass she-wolf.

The boys will want me and the bitches will want to be me.

Party Time

I’m feeling so nervous-I can sense my mate nearby.

“I can’t wait to meet her,” I tell my best friends, Tristan and Paxton.

They both nod and reply, “Yeah man, I know exactly what you mean. I can feel my mate’s presence too.”

This is the moment we’ve all been anticipating.

The three of us made a pact to save ourselves for our mates-not all of us are womanizers like Cassian.

Honestly, I pity whoever ends up as his mate. Maybe it’s my scandalous sister, Selene.

They’d actually make the perfect match. I do love my sister, but she’s nothing like Skyla.

Alright, here goes nothing.

Time to walk into the ballroom.

As soon as the doors swing open, my eyes go wide for two reasons.

First, I’ve never seen Skyla look more stunning-she’s absolutely breathtaking.

Second, I must be the luckiest wolf alive, because standing right beside her is my beautiful mate-Skyla’s best friend, Alexia.

I’ve always had a crush on her, and now I know-I already love her.

At the same time, we softly whisper, “Mate,” and close the distance between us.

I kiss her deeply, not caring that I now have her red lipstick smeared on my lips.

I can’t wait to hold her close.

Skyla beams at us, grinning from ear to ear, saying how thrilled she is that her best friend will be the Luna of our pack.

I glance over to see Tristan with his arm around Veronica, while Paxton is locked in a passionate kiss with

Heads were turning, jaws dropping.

Yeah, I know-I look damn good in this dress, and I’m absolutely owning it.

Neither Selene nor Cassian has shown up for the shifting ceremony yet. They’re probably off somewhere

getting it on.

I step outside, needing a breath of fresh air.

I’m truly happy for my brother and all my friends… so why couldn’t I have a mate like theirs?

Just as that thought crossed my mind, a chill ran down my spine. My breath caught when I felt a hand slide across the small of my back and a voice whispered in my ear, “My beautiful mate.”

Disgusted, I spun around and slapped him hard.

“Don’t ever touch me again,” I snarled. “Next time, I’ll rip your damn hand off.”

He had the audacity to claim I was his mate and insisted he had the right to touch me.

I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I will never be yours.”

This fool-still reeking of my sister’s scent-had the nerve to ask me to forgive him and take him back. Said if he’d known I was this fine, he never would’ve rejected “a piece of ass” like me.

Disgusted, I turned and walked back into the woods, ignoring his shouts and pathetic promises to win me

back.
