I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?" Parker growled grabbing my chin and forcing me to look at him. Without even thinking I said the first thing that came to my head but meant every word.

"You're my mate? Impossible " Lindsey said shocked. She was the soon to be alpha of the largest pack in the world and he was just an omega. "It looks that way" Chasin said trying not to feel offended even though her words cut like a knife. He was nervous and knew what was coming next, he just didn't want to accept it. They had been friends since they were younger and he always had a crush on her, now he knew why. Part of him hoped that she would care enough not to tear his heart in two but the other half knew better. "You understand why this can't happen don't you? Why we can't be together?" she said, searching for understanding. All she saw was pain that he masked quickly. "I do, but it doesn't make it easier" He wanted her but he didn't want het to suffer. She would loose all credibility with other packs, they would mock and make her life hell if the knew she was mated to an omega. "I know it doesn't but at least we can still try to be friends. Go back to the way things were" she said hoping to make him feel better, at the same time trying to convince herself it was true. "Yeah, sure. Friends" Even the word had him wanting to break down. He knew there was no way he could just be friends with her after this, but he would try. He closed his and waited with baited breathe for the words he never wanted to hear spoken, the words that sealed a rejection. WARNING SEXUAL CONTENT 18 AND OLDER ADVISED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Reece Barrett is abrupt, handsome, and egotistical. Despite the fact that he is handsome, many people try not to cross his path. Many of the students stopped eating Reese's because it reminds them of his name. Although he is intimidating, he still manages to have a lot more friends than me. Even though having two friends isn't a lot, it's better than having none. Then there is me, Clarissa Haymonds. I'm not anybody special. I do not participate in any sports and I'm not a cheerleader.

As I became friends with her, I started to catch different glimpse of Reece, and it became my mission to find out whether or not the rumors about him were true.

'Hello my precious Paisley,' I greet maliciously. She looks startled and quickly averts her eyes to the ground. 'Oh sweetheart, are you seriously gonna eat that? Look at yourself. You're big enough,' I say, referring to her weight. Paise frowns at the ground before throwing her muffin into a nearby trashcan. I see a tear roll down her left cheek. 'Are you crying now? How adorable,' I say, taking a step closer. 'Those were compliments, I haven't even started yet, sweetheart.' Paise quickly wipes her eyes with the back of her black, chubby hand. 'Please. L-leave m-me alone,' she stutters. 'Please.' ____________________________________________ Can a bully and its victim find love? Read the ultimate story about how opposites do attract. "Hiatus"
