Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 54. Kevin
Ella's POVKevin and I continued dancing. It felt like a dream but I knew he was real. It was real and I didn't have much control. Here in this world that I was, I wasn't in charge. The count was.He could come back at any time and I needed to talk to Kevin. I needed answers."Kevin,"I winced as those dancing next to us glanced at me. I smiled at them in an apology, wondering why my voice was loud when I had been trying to whisper. It must be the excitement at seeing my mate.I was glad that the lights were still dim or the others would have picked the emotions on my face. I was sure that what I was feeling at the moment was obvious. I hoped that Kevin couldn't see my face clearly as well.It was enough that I was in his arms. I didn't need him to see how much I was happy to see him. I didn't want to show that much vulnerability to him."You aren't going to tell me why you are here, are you?" I whispered.I was relieved that my voice was low and didn't go across the room like earlier
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 55. The Mark
Ella's POV"A rogue."His eyes widened at my words and his hands clenched into hard fists. He seemed ready to kill and I wished the rogue who did to me was right here with us. I would like to have my revenge on the bastard as well."Those blasted rogues again. I should have killed them all when I had the chance." He growled.His eyes was starting to get red again and I was afraid of him flipping out. I leaned closer and embraced him, pulling him into an embrace."Relax, Kevin. I'm alright.""No, you are not." He hissed. "You are scarred, with an humiliating tag at that. I will kill that bastard who did this to you.""I will heal when I have the mark removed.""I will get it removed.""I don't think it's easy to get it removed. I've been trying to do that since I got here. I've used almost all the herbs and flowers I knew and could get my hands on since I got here.""I will find a way to get that mark of your skin. Trust me."I nodded. I trusted him. His presence made me feel better th
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 56. Ex-boyfriend
Ella's POVKevin pushed me behind him, shielding me from the count. He went straight to the stance he used for war and his aura felt threatening. I didn't have to see his eyes to know his gaze would be intense as well.I wondered how the count wasn't intimidated already. I held onto the his arm, not because I was scared and needed him to protect me from the count but for his own sake.He was alone here and I didn't want him to lose control. I doubted the count was alone and Kevin was going to be in danger if he made a move towards the count.I wouldn't let him lose control and get himself lynched."You have to breathe, Kevin. Stay calm. Okay?" I whispered behind him.I could tell that he was listening and I blew out a breath, feeling my heart relax with relief. He wasn't going to do anything stupid."Don't do anything rash, Kevin." I reminded him. "Stay calm, please."He glared dangerously at the count, his voice a feral growl when he spoke. "I'm afraid I can't let her go. She is my w
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 57. My Lord
Ella’s POVI turned to Kevin, apologizing to him with my eyes. He sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, shook his head and exhaled in frustration. Asides that, he didn't do anything else and I was relieved that he decided to trust me.He wasn't going to do anything rash regardless of what happened here. He had left control in my hands and I was immensely touched. The Kevin I knew wouldn't have done that easily. I knew it must have been a struggle for him to let go of control and cool off when he wanted to rip everyone to pieces and I appreciated that."You should understand him, my lord." I said, moving closer to him. "He feels annoyed that I'm here with you. I've been trying to tell him to move on ever since we were here. That is why I'm here.""You are?" The count asked, his voice ringing with disbelief."Of course. He had to stop clinging to the past and know that I now belonged to you."The count's chest puffed up with pride. "He should know that you are mine.""I guess it's
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 58. Werewolf
Ella's POVWe got back to the villa and the count insisted on walking me to my room.He pulled me against the door when we got in, his eyes simmering with annoyance."How close are you with that guy we saw earlier?""I'm not close to him." I lied. "We broke up six months ago.""Six months ago and he still looks at you that way? You broke up six months ago and he is still pursuing you? Why do I find that hard to believe? He was ready to fight me and my bodyguards for a lady he has broken up with six months ago?"He scoffed. "Do you think that is possible? Do you think I'm a fool?"I swallowed, my throat getting dry and licked my lips. "I'm telling you the truth, my lord. It's not my fault that my ex can't get over me."The Count was barely convinced. "Don't you ever meet that werewolf again. You have to behave well and not forget that you are my slave or I will have you punished."I gasped. "You know he is a werewolf?"A bitter laugh escaped his throat. "You must think that I'm a fool.
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 59. The Market
Kevin's POV "Who is the slave you want, Alpha Kevin?" I heard him the first time but decided not to reply then. I tore my eyes away from Liam and turned to him. I was in a rush to get Ella and get out of here but I wasn't going to show how desperate I was. The man seated before me showed enough desperation for the two of us. I knew he wanted the investment deal. I smiled, knowing what I had done. Of course, he would want it. It was a fat deal and I didn't think he would want to lose it. He would have to be a solid man of integrity to pass up on the deal. Shaking my head at the man before me, I doubted he had enough integrity to save himself from greed. "Ella." I said, crossing my legs over each other as I leaned back into the chair. "Ella Moore. It shouldn't be hard to find her. She is beautiful." He snorted. "All the slaves here are beautiful. That is what helps the market." I reigned in my temper, almost losing it at the way he talked, like my mate was some sort of cheap fish
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 60. Rare Sight
Kevin's POV I checked the time as I jumped off the chair in the living room of the apartment I shared with Liam. It was three hours after I left the office of the bureau leader and he should call me by now. What was keeping him waiting? Was he working on it? I wondered if I needed to threaten him so he could work faster. Liam walked in, took a glance at me and shook his head as he settled in on the chair I had just left. "You should calm down and don't get yourself worked up." He said. I turned to him, controlling my urge to growl at him. I knew he meant well for me and was right. It wasn't his fault that Ella was abducted and that I was in a bad mood. "I hate this place." I said, going back to the chair I had left. "I want to leave as fast as I can. How can I stay here when I know my mate is somewhere here being treated as a slave?" Liam kept quiet, allowing me to vent the way I wanted. "A sex slave?" I growled. "I can't get that out of my head." The mere thought of the count
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 61. The Dungeon
Ella's POV My bones ached. I was tired. The count had a party for his friends and I had helped all day in the kitchen, cooking with the chefs and serving with the other maids. I didn't know what he was celebrating and didn't bother to ask. It wasn't like he was going to tell me if I did. I was a slave who didn't have the right to think and ask questions. "You can all rest now." The butler said as he entered the kitchen and left. I sagged against the sink, finished with the dishes I was watching and ran to my bedroom. I needed a good scrub and then a long sleep. "Take your food, slave." The chef shouted at my retreating back. I rolled my eyes. Would it be so bad to be addressed as my name? "Yes." I said, turning back to the kitchen. "Oh! I almost forgot." She smiled at me. "Will you take the angel's food to the dungeon?" I nodded. It had been long that I saw her. "I don't mind." "You are back." She smiled as she saw me. I smiled back, glad that we had made progress. "I brough

Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 244-End
Maya's POVI looked back at the door with panic as I packed my stuff into a bag. I had to leave here soon if I wanted to stay alive. Those sly girls. I shouldn't have trusted them. They had gone to the palace to check out my story and ended up telling the palace guards what I had told them and now, those ones were at the door threatening to break it down if I didn't open up and follow them to the palace at the order of the alpha's father."Open this door, Maya. We know you are in there." The head guard roared.I shook my head, forcing myself to remain calm through the hysteria I felt. I wouldn't be tricked. They couldn't have known I was in here. I had seen them from afar before they got to the door and rushed to my bedroom to pack my stuff. I had been moving silently through the bedroom as I packed my stuff and dumped them into a travel bag. There was no way they could have heard me even with their supernatural hearing."Maya, by the order of the alpha, we demand that you open this d

Melody's POV"How did you find me?" I asked once we were back to safety."I got to where we were to meet but didn't find you. I was looking for you with Neo and Nick when I heard you scream and knew something was wrong. I called dad and we traced your scent." Nathan said.I shook my head. Everything he said was confusing. He couldn't have heard me when I was far away. How could he have traced my scent when he didn't have a dog with him?""You brought a dog?" I asked."A dog?" Nick asked, looking confused."You said you traced my scent. Didn't you do that with a dog?"The boys looked at one another and laughed. "I thought you just heard dad say we were werewolves."My eyes rounded with surprise. I wondered how many surprises I was going to have to deal with today. "He wasn't kidding. I thought he was only trying to scare the witch.""My dad doesn't make empty threats."I sucked in a breath. "You are really werewolves? Can you prove it?"The boys looked unsettled. "I don't think that is
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 242
Melody's POV"Why didn't you use the drug I gave you?" She asked.I frowned, wondering what she was talking about. "Which drug?"She snorted. "The drug I gave the other day when you complained of headaches.""I told you I used it.""You lied to me that day and I knew it. If you had used the drug, you would have been dead in the next five minutes after using it."I went pale. "I'm glad I didn't use it.""You left me no choice but to do this. I was trying to make your death painless but I guess you love pain." She smiled."Why do you want to kill me?" I didn't understand her. How could a little girl like her think of killing me?"Why do you hate sweets?""It's bad for me.""Good." She cackled. "I want to kill you because you are bad for me. You can't be allowed to grow up. You would ruin my plans.""How can you know what would happen to me in the future?""Because I know." She smirked and right before my eyes, started changing until she became a grown woman with gnarled fingers and an u
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 241
Melody's POVThe school trip was boring, more than I thought it would be. It wasn't that I had great hopes for it but I hated how I was disappointed.This wasn't it. The teachers should have just given us a free day and told us to stay at home if they didn't want to teach today rather than bringing us to a place as dry as this.The other kids were playing a game to pass the time but I wasn't interested in it. The game was boring to me as well. I stayed off from them so they wouldn't drag me into their boring game against my wish."Why are you here alone?" Nathan asked as he walked towards me.He was alone and I wondered where his brothers were."I was bored. This place is dry." I replied. "I want to go home."He chuckled. "I know. Me too. I can't believe I was looking forward so much to this.""I wasn't." I confessed.He nodded. "Too bad that we can't go home until the teachers say we can.""Why don't we play a game together?" I asked, gearing with excitement as the idea popped into m

Nathan's POVEve was back immediately the teacher left. "Aren't you excited about the trip? There is so much we can get done."I snorted. So much like what? The girl was too strange for my liking. I had been focused on the dangers of the school trip and didn't remember that Eve was here until she popped her unwanted face again.She turned to Melody, ignoring my snort. "How does your head feel now? Have you taken the drug?" She asked."Yes, my head feels better now. Thank you.""You used the drug?" Eve asked, confirming she had heard right."Yes." Melody lied. The drug was on the ground, under her shoe."I didn't see you take it.""Were you watching her?" I frowned."I was worried about her." Eve replied."I took it immediately you turned your back and walked back to your seat. I slipped it into my mouth then."Eve stared at Melody for a long time, looking as if she didn't believe her. Eventually, she nodded to herself and walked back to her seat without a word.I frowned. "You should

Maya's POVI was brimming with excitement and anxiety that both emotions bothered on hyperactivity. I felt like a child again. I felt like I was finally living after all these days of feeling dead and numb.Who could have believed that it was Kevin and Ella who made me go numb and dead inside and it was also because of them that I would feel alive again?I was excited. This was my chance to get back at Kevin for breaking my heart and Ella for stealing the position that belonged to me.I loved karma. I couldn't believe it was finally working for me after all these years and deciding to fight on my behalf. They shouldn't have messed with me. In Kevin's next life, I hoped he would think twice before hurting another female.The only person I felt for in this revenge scheme of mine was Liam but I didn't care much about him as much as I cared about what I was to do. He was going to be affected as he was always by Kevin's side and also going to be heartbroken as he was an annoyingly loyal be

Neo's POVMelody had to be kidding me. How could she have brought another person into our circle? This wasn't the time to get friendly with strangers. She didn't even know this girl for up to a day and she was already being friends with her and having her eat with us. I couldn't believe her guts. She was unbelievable.For all I knew, this girl was not an ordinary girl. I forced myself to calm down, reminding myself that she didn't know of the dangers that lay ahead of her. She didn't know that she had to be careful and was being her usual bubbly self. It wasn't her fault that I had begun to suspect everyone and everyone that crossed my path. It wasn't her fault at all.I looked at Eve and wondered if she was oblivious to how my brothers and I felt about her or was just trying to be stubborn. She would have known since that we weren't open to her being here with our scowls and I thought that she would have excused herself.Wouldn't it be better for her to leave and eat alone than eat h
Rejected Silent Lone Wolf 237
Melody's POV"Can we eat lunch together?" She suddenly asked, just before we got to class."I... I uh..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to tell her that I already made plans for lunch so it wouldn't seem like I was trying to reject her."I am not trying to do anything." She began.I frowned, wondering what she meant by that. I never said she was trying to do anything.She continued. "The thing is, I have a lot of friends at the school where I transferred from and I'm not used to eating alone. You seem kind and moreover, you were the first person to smile at me here and that was why I thought that we could be friends. I only asked if we could eat lunch together because I already see you as a friend."I sighed. She was extremely chatty but I preferred that to her crying. I understood what she was trying to say and found myself nodding in agreement before thinking it through. I knew how much it sucked to eat alone in a large gathering of people. It was awkward feeling to f

Melody's POVThe boys had adapted to being my friends again and I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about them suffocating me with their overprotectiveness."Where should we hang out during break time?" I asked them as we saw one another in the morning and moved towards the school entrance."Take care of yourself, kids." Uncle Liam said and waved as he turned and walked away from us."Should we hang out in the garden?" Neo suggested. "I love the smell of flowers.""Me too." I agreed, smiling at them. "I also love flowers." I also loved being in the garden with the boys. They knew so much about flowers that I always learn something new from them. I wondered where they had learned about flowers from.The bell rang to signify the start of the classes and I watched as our homeroom teacher walked in, with a new student by her side.The girl seemed shy and I felt my heart move towards her. I remembered how nervous I had been on my first day here as well, wondering what my new classma
