[RINZLER]
He was completely shattered and couldn't recall whether they discussed what they were to do or if Marina said they were joking. How could they have forgotten an important fact as the fact that Marina would say she didn't believe them?
Everyone in the pack knew the bond she shared with her father, but Rinzler understood it even better than anyone else. So, why didn't he think of what to do if Marina rejected him after saying they were joking?
Why did he expect only the positive and never thought of the possibility of being rejected, again?
Most importantly, is he on his way toward hell?
He could feel the air in his lungs dissipating, he was seeing stars, and even Bedelia's hands on his shoulders were nothing. He could hear the voice of the wolves in the background and could imagine them pointing at him. If they hated their alpha, imagine how they were going to ridicule Alpha Rinzler for being rejected, twice!
