Howl of the rejected Pain of rejection
At Nightshade Pack, dawn's pale fingers crept through the cracks in Alpha Cade's curtains, painting sickly stripes across his sleep-ravaged face. He hadn't slept. Not a wink. Every dream, every closed-eye moment had been a torment, the feeling of Zyra making love with the Lycan bugged him. Zyra his rejected mate is now bounded to another, happy with him and all he feels is pain.The knowledge sat in his gut like a lead weight, a dull ache that pulsed with a rhythm that mirrored the absence of her heartbeat next to him.Even though he knew he caused her pain alone.The kind of pain he was feeling wasn't physical pain, not in the way a broken bone or a ripped muscle screamed. This was a soul-deep ache, a hollowness that resonated through every fiber of his being.He pushed himself upright, the sheets clinging to his damp skin. The room, once a haven, felt suffocating. The scent of her lavender sleep oil, once a comfort, now mocked him with its fading presence. He threw the covers back
Howl of the rejected Aftermath and recovery
Alpha Cade stood under the warm cascade of water, letting it wash away the grime and blood from the recent battle. The bathroom, a stark contrast to the chaos outside, was his sanctuary. The water beat against his skin, soothing his tense muscles and clearing his mind. For a moment, he closed his eyes, letting the steam envelop him, trying to find a sense of peace amidst the turmoil.He couldn’t stay here forever, though. His pack needed him. With a sigh, Cade turned off the shower and grabbed a towel, drying himself off. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, seeing the weariness in his eyes, the lines of worry etched on his face. But there was also a spark of determination. They had won the battle, but the war was far from over.He had pushed aside thought of Zyra and her new mate making love.Dressed in simple, comfortable clothes, Cade made his way to the large wooden hall where his top warriors were waiting. The hall was bustling with activity; injured pack members were being
Howl of the rejected Private lessons
At Marcus' mansion, Seraphina rolled over to the other side of the bed, wrapping her arms around Kieran's neck. She muttered, “That was amazing, wasn’t it?”Kieran sighed happily. “Yeah, it was. I love you, Sera.”He cupped her cheeks in his hands, and she leaned into his touch. “I love you too, Kieran,” she replied, leaning forward to kiss his lips. He pulled her close for a hug, caressing her arms as he kissed the top of her head.“What are your plans for today?” he asked softly.She took a deep breath. “I don’t know, anything you do…”He clicked his tongue thoughtfully. “How about some personal private training? How does that sound?”She pulled away slightly to look into his eyes, a smile spreading across her face. “Perfect,” she whispered.“I think we should shower now, right?” he suggested.Seraphina sat up in bed, running her hands through her hair with a small yawn. “Want to bathe with me?” she asked, a smirk playing on her lips.Kieran sat up and smiled, tucking her hair behin

Marcus’s hands wrapped around Zyra’s waist as he pulled her closer to himself, and she snuggled into his embrace. “If I let you, you’ll spend the rest of the day here,” he whispered in her ear.She giggled, “Is that so bad?”“Not at all, but we’ve got work to do today…” he replied, his tone teasing.She pulled away to turn to him, “Oh really? What’s the plan?”He cupped her cheeks in his hands, “You. You are the work.”She dramatically dropped her jaw, “Oh, yeah right…” Zyra chuckled, making an attempt to get out of bed, but he pulled her back.“No, no… you’re not going alone,” he said, getting off the bed and carrying her in a bridal style.“You know I could actually walk to the bathroom myself,” she said with a pout.He shrugged, “But this is more fun.” He carried her into the bathroom, where the luxurious space greeted them. The room was adorned with marble tiles, a large vanity with intricate details, and a massive tub that could easily fit both of them. The tub was already fille
Howl of the rejected Her
Still on the training ground, Zyra stood with her hands on her hips, glancing around as some of the pack members began to gather. She noticed Thalia and the rest of the group approaching, though Kieran and Seraphina were notably absent. "Are they coming here?" she asked Marcus, who was busily setting up equipment.Marcus turned to look, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Seems like they are really having a good time," he remarked with a low laugh.Zyra chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Is Asher still hungover? I assume that's why he's still inside," she suggested, glancing at Marcus with a playful smirk.Marcus sighed, shaking his head slightly. "And what about Lily? She was with him," Zyra added, tilting her head to the left, her expression one of genuine concern mixed with amusement.Marcus shrugged his shoulders casually. "Then they're probably both still in bed. Let's leave them be," he said as he continued to gather various items from the ground. The sunlight gl
Howl of the rejected Circe
Asher rolled to the other side of the bed, feeling his hands resting on something soft. As he opened his eyes slowly, he saw Lily still asleep next to him. He yawned and rubbed his temples, trying to make sense of his surroundings. Sitting up from the bed, his jaw dropped as memories of the previous night flashed back and hit him. He recalled Lily taking him to his room and him asking her not to leave.Rubbing his temples more vigorously, he tried to get out of bed but ended up waking Lily instead."Asher?" she called with a slight yawn, sitting up on the bed and looking around the room. She seemed disoriented, her eyes narrowing as she tried to remember where she was. "What am I doing here?" she asked, rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm.Asher scratched the back of his neck, feeling awkward. "Uh, I remember now..." she mouthed, pulling her hair behind her ears as she swung her legs off the bed and stood up."What happened? Was I that drunk?" Asher asked, his voice tinged wit
Howl of the rejected First steps
Circe's cottage was a testament to her wisdom and years of practice. The interior was filled with an assortment of herbs hanging from the ceiling, shelves lined with old tomes, crystals, and various magical artifacts. A large wooden table in the center of the room was cluttered with vials, candles, and scrolls. The air was thick with the scent of sage and lavender, creating a calming atmosphere.Circe motioned for Zyra to sit at the table. She took a seat opposite Zyra, her eyes twinkling with a mixture of excitement and seriousness. "Before we begin, Zyra, there are a few things you need to understand about witchcraft," she started.Zyra leaned forward, eager to absorb every word."First, witchcraft is not just about spells and potions. It's about understanding the natural world and your connection to it. The power you wield comes from the elements, the earth, the sky, and the energies that flow through all living things," Circe explained. "Respect and harmony with nature are fu

As Zyra stepped out with a radiant smile, she began searching for Marcus and the others. However, she didn't have to look far, as Marcus was already approaching her, his own smile mirroring hers. “It went well, didn’t it?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity and pride.Zyra’s smile widened. “Yes, it did. Circe is wonderful,” she replied, twirling her fingers in the air, watching as sparks of magic danced around them. The sight of her newfound abilities filled her with a sense of accomplishment and excitement.Marcus watched her with admiration. “I see you’re becoming something truly extraordinary,” he said, his eyes reflecting his pride and affection.“Thanks to you, from the very beginning,” Zyra said, her voice filled with sincerity and gratitude. She knew that without Marcus’s support and encouragement, she might never have discovered her true potential.Marcus winked playfully at her. “Anytime. There’s much more to come,” he promised. His eyes then fell on the large
