Howl of the rejected The hunt
Lily, ever ready for whatever, raised her hands in the air with a smile. “Seems like today is loaded, I am ready, please.” She giggled, and Zyra snapped her fingers. One of the pack’s men walked over to her and whispered in her ear, “They are all ready, ma'am,” he said to her, and she nodded.“Great…” Zyra replied as she turned to look at the group. “We know the next game on the list, and I believe everyone is ready, right?” she asked, and the pack nodded in agreement.“Cool, I’ll start by letting you all know what the game is about,” she began. “We’re going to have a scavenger hunt. You’ll be split into teams, and each team will have a list of items to find in the woods. The first team to bring back all the items wins.”Excitement buzzed through the group as Zyra continued, “The teams will be paired up as follows: Lily with Rylan, Seraphina with Kieran, Asher with Elara, Thalia with Orion, and Marcus with me. Are you all ready?”The pack members nodded eagerly, some exchanging enthu

At Nightshade pack, Alpha Cade had left his room for the study room. He had sent some of his pack guards to inform the other pack members to gather around. As he sat behind his desk, staring at the map on the table before him, he clenched his jaw. Things needed to be done, and there was no time to waste.Soon, the door opened, and his top warriors filed in one by one. His sister Gaia, Aria, Kevin, Lukas, Ragnar, and Elara gathered around his table, their faces a mix of determination and concern.“Thank you all for coming,” Cade began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We have a serious threat from the Skyclaw pack, and we need to act swiftly.”Gaia, his sister, stepped forward. “What’s the plan, Cade? How are we going to handle this?”Cade pointed to the map. “We need to be strategic about this. The Skyclaw Clan is not going to be easy to take down. They've been threatening us, and it's only a matter of time before they attack. We need to strike first, but smartly.”Aria nodded, he

After the successful game, the pack members of Alpha Marcus’s pack gathered back in the woods. Zyra led them with a bright smile on her face."A bonfire already?" Lily giggled, happily jumping into the air and throwing her hands up."I know you're excited, and so am I," Elara said, joining in Lily's enthusiasm."Yeah, I've been waiting for this moment," Lily replied with a heavy sigh as she settled down with the others around the bonfire."What's next on the list?" Seraphina asked as she flipped her hair back. Asher smirked at her."Look who's happy. I see you're having a good time here," he teased."Oh, well, obviously I'm having a good time," she replied, rolling her eyes. Asher nodded with a low laugh."Tell us, what happened today? Is it Kieran?" he asked, curiosity evident in his tone."Why do you want to know? Just mind your business," she scoffed, giving him a pointed look."Actually, you both are really interesting, so why should I?" he replied with a smirk."Can you just stop
Howl of the rejected The first fight
The following morning at Nightshade Pack, Alpha Cade woke up and prepared for the day. Today was the day they would confront the Skyclaw Clan. Cade left his room, his mind focused and determined, and made his way to join his pack members who were waiting for him. As he entered the main hall, Gaia approached him."Alpha, everything is ready… we just need your permission," Gaia said, her voice steady yet filled with a sense of urgency.Cade gave her a nod. "Let's move out."Gathering his top warriors, Cade led the way. Kevin, Gaia, Elara, Alex, Lukas, and Ragnar fell into step behind him. The atmosphere was tense but resolute. Each member of the pack knew the gravity of the confrontation ahead and the threat that Skyclaw posed to their safety and territory.They left the mansion, marching through the dense woods that separated Nightshade from Skyclaw. The early morning light filtered through the trees, casting long shadows on the forest floor. Cade's senses were heightened, every rustl
Howl of the rejected Unspoken desires
At Marcus's pack mansion, Alpha Marcus and his pack members returned, everyone dragging their feet in exhaustion. The festivities had clearly taken a toll. Asher, visibly inebriated, was leaning heavily on Lily, who was doing her best to guide him toward his room.Kieran, meanwhile, had hoisted Seraphina over his shoulders, carrying her effortlessly since she was too tired to walk on her own. Seraphina giggled weakly, enjoying the ride but clearly drained from the day’s activities.“Looks like you all had quite the time,” Zyra remarked with a low laugh as she strolled alongside Marcus, her hand brushing against his.Marcus chuckled in response. “Yes, it seems we might have overdone it a bit. Asher never could hold his liquor. He starts spouting nonsense the moment he gets tipsy!”Lily laughed, supporting Asher’s weight as he groaned loudly, his head lolling to one side. “You should have heard him earlier, Zyra. He was going on about how he could see double of everything.”Asher let o

Kieran's hands trailed slowly down her back, sending shivers through her body. She pulled away from the kiss and locked eyes with him, her breath heavy and her heart racing."I guess we feel the same..." she murmured, a sultry edge to her voice. He returned her gaze with a small, confident smile."Yes, we do... and don't you ever think I'm just after your body," he whispered, his voice filled with earnest sincerity.She nodded, her lips brushing against his. "I never thought about it that way," she replied, leaning forward to capture his lips once more."Oh, heaven knows how long I've been dreaming of this moment," he breathed against her mouth, his words mingling with her soft laughter. She bit his lower lip playfully, her eyes glinting with mischief."Save all this talk," she whispered into his ear, her breath hot against his skin, sending a shiver down his spine. "Let me be in charge.""Please do, my lady," he replied, his eyes fluttering shut as she lifted his hands above his hea
Howl of the rejected That moment
At Marcus' mansion, he took a deep breath and nodded his head at Zyra. “You want this, don’t you?” she asked him softly. He let his gaze fall to the floor, staring at her small, cute feet.“So much, my love,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.Zyra placed her fingers beneath his jaw, lifting his gaze to hers. A small smile appeared on her face as she slowly began to loosen her bathrobe. Her eyes remained locked with his, full of intensity and promise. She slipped one arm out of the robe, the fabric cascading down her shoulder, revealing the smooth, soft skin beneath.Marcus's breath caught in his throat as she shrugged off the other sleeve, letting the robe fall to the floor in a silken pool around her feet. She stood before him, completely bare, her confidence and beauty leaving him speechless.Zyra took a step closer, her bare feet whispering against the cold floor. Her eyes never left his as she closed the distance between them. She reached out, her fingertips trailing
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
