Page 92 of Rejected By My Shifter Billionaire
My chest actually still ached in the aftermath, but even more shameful was how parts of my body also ached, for the touch of a man who was completely forbidden.
I mean...
He had been already out of my league then, but he was even more so now, with my stepbrother Nicolo having been made the alpha of our pack as well as CEO of half a dozen shifter-run subsidiaries.
As a human, he had already captivated the world. But now that everyone knew the truth about preters?
Nicolo Celestini had become, for lack of a better word...irresistible.
But to me, he remained...insufferable.
Nicolo, for better or for worse, was still the big, beautiful, hateful stepbrother who barely looked my way even when we were still living in the same house. In public, he treated me...civilly. But once we were out of the public eye, it was as if I ceased to exist, and I just...
I just had to find a mate, fast.
Like, seriously.
I knew how his equally beautiful mind worked, and so the writing on the wall was clear as day.
It was only a matter of time before he got it into his arrogant alpha head to find one for me.
And I couldn’t let that happen.
The man I still stupidly yearned for...ordering me to marry someone else?
I couldn’t let that happen.
Because I knew I wouldn’t be able to survive it.
