She was welcomed by Marcus with open arms. "Where have you been?" he asked, concern etched on his face as he wrapped his arms around her.As soon as she felt the warmth of his embrace, all the emotions she had been thdifhdkfhhgholding back came rushing out. Zyra burst into tears, burying her face in his chest. Marcus held her tightly, gently rubbing her back, his voice soft and soothing. "Hey, hey, what's wrong? What happened?"Zyra pulled back slightly, her eyes red and filled with anger and pain. "I... I found out something horrible," she managed to say through her sobs.“Okay, okay, let me take you to the room, okay… we will talk there” he said to her as he led her to the room.Once settled in the room by the window, Marcus took her hands in and took in a deep sigh, “Tell me, what happened?” he worriedly asked her.“I went to train in the woods….” She started with,“And then?” he asked her with a squinted eyes and she sighed."I met someone in the woods... She told me the truth ab
Howl of the rejected A moment of peace
As Bexley slipped back into the Nightshade pack's territory, she thought she had managed to go unnoticed. Her hood was pulled low over her face, and she moved with a determined, quiet grace. The sun was just beginning to set, casting long shadows across the grounds. She was nearly at the door of the mansion when she heard a voice behind her."Well, well, look who we have here. Sneaking around, are we?"Bexley stiffened, recognizing the voice of Kevin, one of the more brash and irritating members of the pack. She turned around slowly, forcing a calm expression onto her face."What do you want, Kevin?" she asked, her voice deliberately neutral.Kevin smirked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Just curious. You look like someone who's sneaking out—or back in, maybe? Where have you been?"Bexley narrowed her eyes, trying to hide her discomfort. "None of your business," she replied coolly. "I'm not sneaking anywhere. Just taking a walk."“Or I can’t take a walk anymore?” she asked him.K
Howl of the rejected Unraveling secrets
A few weeks had passed since the mysterious encounter in the woods. The Shadowheart pack had been relatively peaceful, with most members unaware of the storm brewing beneath the surface. But the tranquility was about to shatter. On this particular morning, the sun rose over Shadowheart territory, casting long shadows and bathing the forest in a golden hue. It was the calm before the storm.Zyra woke up with a strange sense of foreboding. She couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling that something significant was about to happen. As she got dressed, her thoughts drifted back to the cryptic warning she'd received from the robed figure weeks earlier. The more she thought about it, the more she felt compelled to uncover the truth about her parents' deaths. Little did she know, the answers she sought were closer than she imagined.Meanwhile, Bexley was preparing to make her move. The weight of the secrets she carried had grown unbearable, and she knew it was time to come clean. Sneaking into
Howl of the rejected The bloody letter
In the dimly lit room, the soft glow of a single candle illuminated Zyra's face. She sat cross-legged on the floor, her eyes closed in concentration. Opposite her, Marcus watched intently, his expression a mix of concern and admiration. The air around them hummed with a faint energy as Zyra began to channel her magic.Zyra opened her eyes, revealing a deep, intense focus. She reached out to the small table beside her, picking up a pristine piece of parchment. With a wave of her hand, the quill on the table lifted into the air, suspended by her magic. The quill dipped itself into a vial of dark red ink—no, not ink, but blood. The essence of the message had to carry the weight of her fury and determination.Marcus leaned forward, his voice low and steady. "Are you sure about this, love? This message... it's a bold move."Zyra's gaze never wavered as she met his eyes. "Cade and his mother need to understand that we're not afraid. They need to know that we're coming for them, and we won't
Howl of the rejected A spy among us
Nightshade PackThe early morning sun filtered through the dense canopy of the forest, casting dappled shadows across the Nightshade pack's territory. Bexley moved with practiced stealth through the quiet mansion, careful to avoid the gaze of any wandering pack members. The previous night's events had heightened Cade's paranoia, and she knew the pack was on high alert. Still, she had a job to do, and slipping through the shadows had become second nature.Bexley navigated the mansion with ease, her knowledge of the pack's routines and patrols serving her well. She had learned to listen for the subtle signs of movement, the faint creak of a floorboard or the murmur of distant voices, and adjust her path accordingly. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she remained outwardly calm, every step calculated.She slipped into a quiet corridor, heading towards a concealed alcove where she could send her next message to Zyra and Marcus. As she reached the alcov
Howl of the rejected Allies
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,"
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
Howl of the rejected Something is coming
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
