Howl of the rejected Going back to hell
Marcus POVI do not know how long this pain will continue to occur, no one else but me knows how much I feel. I made an attempt to get back on my feet but I fell back to the ground.Pain!My head, banging profusely and my body convulses with searing pain as I lie crumpled on the unforgiving ground. Groaning and whimpering escape my lips, involuntary sounds wrenched from the depths of my tortured soul. Each groan is a testament to the immense agony that courses through every fiber of my being.“No, I would not want Zyra to come find me this way.” I said in my thoughts but I could not get up from the ground.The weight of my cursed existence presses down on me, making it hard to breathe.“I need to leave here.” I muttered as I gathered my strength together and made a swift movement to the next room and jumped out through the window.This is one of the reasons I do not stay with my pack members, how could they keep seeing their Alpha go through this cursed pain every day.As I

Zyra POVJust as Marcus had said, he refused to follow me back to Alpha Cade. I made my way through the silent forest until I arrived at the pack mansion and stood before the broad gate. I could feel my heart begin to race slowly."Brace yourself Zyra, this might be your last time here after all he rejected you," I said to myself and heaved a sigh. I was about to walk into the open doors when I heard my name from behind."Zyra?" I immediately recognized that voice. It belonged to Alpha Cade's sister! I blinked rapidly before turning around to see her standing with one of her minions, Elara. I inwardly rolled my eyes, preparing for whatever they had to say."Wow, our long-lost toy," Elara chuckled as she did what she knows how to do best - circling around me like I am some prey for her to feed on. I rolled my eyes inwardly and sighed, glaring at her as I clenched my fist."What now?" I rolled my eyes."Wow, where did such audacity come from? Looks like someone has forgotten her place,"

Marcus POVI sat alone in my room, the silence echoing in my mind. Every breath I took seemed heavy with doubt, each beat of my heart thumping against the weight of my thoughts. Did I make the right choice? Sending Zyra back to her pack, a pack that abuses and mistreats her?Memories of Zyra's hurt and pain haunted me, flickering like a broken reel of film. She had stumbled into my life, battered and broken, seeking refuge from a world that had dealt her nothing but cruelty. In that moment, I couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer. I opened my doors and let her in, allowing her to find solace under my roof for just one night. But one night turned into days, and days turned into weeks.Now, as I sat on my bed, I yearned to protect her. The desire to shield her from those who caused her harm burned within me.

Zyra's POVI stood there in disbelief at my own actions, staring blankly at the man before me. I had just punched Cade, my ex-mate, straight in the face. Instead of quickly fleeing the scene, I found myself frozen in place. This was Cade, after all.He wiped his lips and slowly lifted his head, his eyes locking onto mine with a seething glare. I blinked rapidly, feeling a mix of fear and defiance. "You hit me?" he sneered, his voice filled with incredulity as he rose from the bed and began to approach me. "And I will hit you again if you dare take one step closer," I warned, my voice firm, though my heart raced with uncertainty.But he simply laughed, a cruel sound that echoed in the room. "I know you, Zyra," he taunted. "You're a poor thing. Weak. Powerless."I couldn't let him finish his statement. Without hesitation, I grabbed the nearest vase and hurled it at his head, its impact sending him crashing to the ground. "Say that again," I seethed, my anger boiling over, "and I'll make

Zyra POV And here he is again, welcoming me back to his home. I lazily dragged my feet in, my whole body feels sore and it aches me seriously. Marcus led me into the living room then paused, “How about you have a shower first? The cold water could help with a little relief though.” He suggested and I nod my head in agreement with him.“Yeah, I wouldn’t mind.” I replied with my head low and then the next second, he lifted me in his hands as he carried me in a bridal style up the foyer. “Uh?” I blinked rapidly at him but he ignored, “What? You can barely walk up the stairs yourself.” He replied and I nod my head in reply, “Thanks but don’t I weigh too much?”“I don’t think I am carrying any human; you don’t have weight princess.” He chuckled and I smiled.Princess….“You said you have been waiting for me, did you mean what you said?” I asked him and he sighed“Save your strength and have a nice bath, come back downstairs and I’d feed you, okay?” he replied instead I nod my head in

Zyra POV I found myself captivated by Marcus's presence as we sat at the dining table. He pulled out a chair for me, displaying his chivalry, which made me smile gratefully before I took my seat. Marcus chuckled playfully, acknowledging that I could have done it myself. "You are with me; you deserve to be treated well," he explained with a casual shrug. As he glanced down at his plate and then back at me, he noticed a weariness in my expression. Concerned, he asked, "Tired, aren't you?" I chuckled softly, shaking my head. "Not really, thanks. I already had my shower, so I feel a little bit better now," I replied. Marcus nodded understandingly and began to eat his meal. Curiosity got the better of me, prompting me to ask, "You cook?" I remembered hearing him mention cooking earlier. Marcus laughed softly, confirming my question. "Please don't tell me that sounds surprising to you," he pleaded playfully. I joined in his laughter, not wanting to make him feel bad. "It is surprising, bu

ZYRA POVIt’s a new day, and as the morning sunlight filtered into my room, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Last night, I had slept peacefully, free from the grip of nightmares that had haunted me for so long. With a contented sigh, I rolled to the other side of my bed, thoughts of my parents weighing heavily on my mind."Now that I am far away from Cade, I should focus on finding out who killed you both and why," I whispered to myself, a determined glint in my eyes. Gathering my strength, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and dragged my feet into the bathroom.Standing before the mirror, I couldn't help but smile at my reflection. It was as if a newfound confidence had blossomed within me, erasing the self-doubt that had long plagued my thoughts. I gently rubbed my face with my palm, relishing in the feeling of self-acceptance."I think I am beginning to see how beautiful I am," I chuckled softly, a spark of recognition igniting deep within me.

Zyra POVMarcus and I had finished our breakfast, and I collected the dishes to take them to the kitchen. As I turned around from placing them in the dishwasher, Marcus was waiting by the kitchen door. My gaze inadvertently fell upon his perfectly defined abs, even though he had draped a towel over his back. I caught a glimpse of a tattoo on his shoulder, but I didn't want to pry or make him uncomfortable by asking about it."Come, you should wear any of my clothes. I'm sure something will suit you perfectly," he suggested, stretching his hands out towards me. Smiling, I placed my hand in his, feeling a gentle warmth spread through me.Chuckling softly, Marcus led me up the grand foyer to his room. I waited patiently on his bed as he disappeared into his closet. After a few minutes, he returned with a baggy shirt and comfortable pants, handing them to me."This should be good, right?" he asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. I looked at the clothes in my hands and nodded apprecia

Howl of the rejected The final battle
The sun had barely risen when the Shadowheart pack was alerted to the impending attack. The air was thick with tension as warriors prepared for what would be the most significant battle they had ever faced. Inside the mansion, Zyra sat by the window, her hands resting on her growing belly. Marcus had insisted she stay indoors, away from the danger, to protect their unborn child.“Promise me you’ll stay here, Zyra,” Marcus had pleaded earlier that morning. “I can’t risk losing you or our baby.”Zyra had reluctantly agreed, knowing the wisdom in his words, but a part of her felt restless. She hated being confined while her pack faced the enemy.Outside, the Shadowheart pack was a flurry of activity. Marcus stood at the forefront, his eyes scanning the horizon. Elara, Thalia, Kieran, and the other key members were by his side, their expressions grim and determined. They knew this battle would decide their fate.In the distance, the Nightshade pack approached, their numbers vast and impos

A few days later, Zyra found herself waking up with the same nauseous feeling. The morning sickness was relentless, and each day seemed to drag on with her feeling more exhausted than the last. Marcus stayed by her side, his concern growing with each passing day.On this particular morning, as the sun’s rays peeked through the curtains, Zyra hurriedly made her way to the bathroom once again. Marcus followed her, his worry etched deeply on his face.“Zyra, are you okay?” he asked, holding her hair back as she knelt over the toilet.Zyra nodded weakly, wiping her mouth. “I’ll be fine. It’s just... this morning sickness is unbearable.”Just as she was about to return to bed, there was a knock on the door. Marcus opened it to find Edna standing there, a calm yet serious expression on her face.“Edna, please come in,” Marcus said, stepping aside to let her enter.Edna walked in, carrying a small bag. She glanced at Zyra with a knowing look. “How have you been feeling, Zyra?”“Tired, nauseo

The morning sun bathed the Shadowheart pack’s territory in a warm, golden light. The air was filled with the scent of pine and earth, and the sounds of birds chirping created a serene backdrop. Zyra and Marcus were busy outside, overseeing the pack’s daily training routines and preparations. They were focused on strengthening their defenses, knowing that the threat from Nightshade was far from over.Zyra, her hair tied back in a tight braid, demonstrated a series of combat moves to a group of young trainees. Her movements were swift and precise, a testament to her growing mastery of her tribid abilities. Marcus stood nearby, his watchful eyes ensuring that everything was running smoothly.As Zyra finished her demonstration, Marcus approached her with a smile. “You’re really getting the hang of it,” he said, admiration evident in his voice.Zyra smiled back, wiping the sweat from her brow. “Thanks, Marcus. It feels good to be able to control my powers better.”Their moment of calm was
Howl of the rejected Traitor
Elara, Gaia, Kevin, and Ragnar trudged back to the Nightshade pack’s territory, their bodies weary and spirits low. The sting of their failure was palpable, and a heavy silence hung over the group as they approached the pack’s mansion. They knew the news they carried would incite their Alpha’s wrath.As they crossed the threshold, the pack members gathered around, their faces etched with curiosity and concern. The doors to Cade’s private sanctuary loomed ahead, and with each step, the weight of their defeat pressed harder on their shoulders.Elara knocked on the door, and after a moment, Cade’s gruff voice called them in. The group entered, the atmosphere inside the sanctuary thick with tension. Cade stood by the window, his back to them, staring out into the forest. His posture was rigid, the muscles in his back taut with barely restrained anger.“What happened?” Cade demanded without turning around.Elara stepped forward, her voice trembling slightly. “Alpha, we... we failed.

Few hours later, the Shadowheart pack resumed their duties. The sun was high, casting dappled shadows through the dense canopy of the woods where Zyra often trained. She felt a strange atmosphere lingering in the air, a sense of foreboding that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up. Yet, she was prepared.Zyra had been pushing her limits, honing her tribid abilities. The combination of her Lycan strength, witch powers, and vampire agility made her a formidable opponent. She was in the middle of practicing a new spell, weaving fire and earth together, when a rustle in the bushes caught her attention.“Marcus, do you feel that?” Zyra asked, her voice low and alert.Marcus, who had been observing her training with a mixture of pride and admiration, nodded. “Yeah, something’s off. Stay sharp.”The rustling grew louder, and soon, figures emerged from the shadows. Nightshade warriors, led by Elara, Gaia, Kevin, and Ragnar, stepped into the clearing. Their eyes were filled with mali

Cade cleared his throat, drawing their attention. His voice was low and commanding as he began to speak. "The time has come to take decisive action," he stated, his gaze intense. "We cannot allow the Shadowheart Pack, especially Zyra, to gain any more power. We must strike first, and we must strike hard."Elara leaned forward, her eyes glinting with determination. "What's the plan, Alpha?" she asked, her voice steady.Cade took a deep breath, his mind racing with the intricacies of the plot. "We will kidnap Zyra," he declared, the words hanging in the air like a dark cloud. "She is the key to destabilizing their pack. Without her, they lose their strongest asset. We will use her to leverage control over the Shadowheart Pack and force them into submission."A murmur of agreement passed through the group, though Gaia's expression remained thoughtful. "It's a bold move," Gaia said, her voice carrying a note of caution. "But we must be careful. Zyra is not to be underestimated, especially
Howl of the rejected Cade's desperation
In the heart of the Nightshade mansion, the tension was palpable. The once vibrant halls now felt suffocating, echoing with the uncertainty and fear gripping the pack. Cade paced restlessly in the dimly lit meeting room, his expression dark and brooding. The weight of recent events had carved deeper lines into his face, and the ruthless determination in his eyes mirrored the growing desperation within him.Cade's frustration was evident as he barked orders to the gathered advisors and enforcers. "We need to tighten our grip. Anyone caught questioning our actions or showing signs of disloyalty will face severe consequences." His voice was cold, devoid of any warmth or compassion. The room fell silent, the pack members exchanging uneasy glances.Gaia, standing at Cade's right, frowned. She had been Cade's advisor for years, and she had seen him in many states, but this was different. His fear of losing control was pushing him towards increasingly brutal measures. "Alpha Cade," she bega

As the sky dimmed with the setting sun, casting a golden hue over the forest, the air grew cooler and the atmosphere more charged. Zyra and Marcus stood facing each other in a secluded clearing, a playful yet determined glint in their eyes. They had been training rigorously, but now there was a different kind of energy between them—a mix of competition, anticipation, and a hint of something more.Marcus stretched his arms, a grin spreading across his face. "Ready to show me what you've got, or are you still holding back?"Zyra chuckled, a teasing light in her eyes. "Holding back? You wish. I've been going easy on you, but maybe it's time to step it up."They circled each other, the forest silent save for the rustling of leaves underfoot. In a flash, Marcus lunged, his movements swift and precise. Zyra dodged gracefully, her reflexes sharpened by her vampiric and Lycan sides. She countered with a quick jab, which Marcus deftly blocked, their hands meeting with a soft thud."Not bad,"
