On The Run

The moment the words left my mouth, Rexxona collapsed to her knees. Her pain was visceral, slamming into me like a blade straight to the chest. Rejection could destroy a she-wolf—I knew that. But what I didn’t expect was for Rexxona to lift her head, her eyes burning with a mix of heartbreak and defiance.

She didn’t scream. She didn’t plead.

She just ran.

Shock rooted me in place for half a second before instinct kicked in. “Don’t let her escape!” I barked at my warriors.

Even as my wolf howled in protest, I chased after her. I told myself it was for the pack—that her powers were unpredictable, that we needed answers. But deep down, I knew the truth. I couldn’t bear to let her go. The rejection had been a moment of desperation, a way to calm my pack.

At least, that’s what I told myself as I ran after her.

Rexxona POV:

My heart felt like it was shattering with every step, but I didn’t stop. The pack I had fought to survive in now hunted me like a fugitive. The mate I was destined for—the one person who was supposed to love and protect me—had cast me aside as if I meant nothing.

The words echoed in my mind, relentless and unforgiving:

"I, Alpha Ron Jaxon, reject you as my mate and Luna."

Ria whimpered inside me, our bond throbbing like an open wound, her pain as raw as my own.

I clenched my teeth, pushing my body harder. My chest burned, my legs screamed in protest, but I wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t. My powers had flared to life back at the pack house, proving just how uncontrollable they were.

I tightened my grip on the book I had risked everything for. It was my only hope—my only chance at understanding who I was and why I was born with these cursed abilities. I refused to let it go.

The air shifted.

A new scent filled my lungs. My instincts screamed in warning. Another pack’s territory.

I skidded to a stop, my breath ragged, my body trembling from exertion. A twig snapped somewhere to my left. My pulse spiked.

I spun, ready for an attack.

A cat.

A damn cat, lazily padding across the forest floor as if I wasn’t standing there, barely holding myself together.

The tension in my limbs gave way, and my knees buckled. Relief, exhaustion, and heartbreak crashed over me at once. My hands clutched the book to my chest, its weight grounding me against the storm raging inside me.

The rejection still clung to me like a sickness. It hadn’t killed me, but it lingered like a festering wound. I hated that I could still feel the pull toward him. That Ria still whined for him.

“Seems like someone’s still sore,” I muttered, my voice thick with bitterness.

Forcing myself to my feet, I shoved the pain aside. I had bigger problems.

The pack’s territory was eerily silent. The houses stood still and empty, their quietness gnawing at my nerves.

Where is everyone?

Then, I heard it—muffled voices, the hum of music drifting through the air.

I crept toward the noise, keeping low, and hid behind a cluster of trees. My breath hitched at what I saw.

A party.

The pack was gathered in celebration, music blaring, wolves laughing and dancing as if the world hadn’t just shattered around me.

My stomach twisted, both with hunger and something deeper, something raw.

"Way to go, Rex. You still have the luxury to be hungry in a situation like this."

I shook my head. The distraction was a gift. It gave me a chance to slip inside one of the empty houses, to find food, safety—something.

Then I felt it.

A presence.

A chill ran down my spine.

"Damn it. I’ve been caught."

I spun, dropping into a defensive stance, my heart hammering.

A girl stood before me, dressed head to toe in bright pink, her smile wide, her energy almost painfully cheerful.

She tilted her head, eyes sparkling with curiosity. “I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Who are you?”

I froze. Running wasn’t an option—not now. Not with the entire pack nearby. I had to be smart. As I studied the girl, an idea formed.

She was my best shot at survival.

Taking a shaky breath, I let exhaustion and pain seep into my expression. Not a difficult task, given my current state. My tangled hair, dirt-smeared face, and tear-streaked cheeks only added to the effect.

My voice trembled as I spoke.

“I… I need help.”

  • Rejected mythical Luna   No More Running: Alpha Aries

    "I need help." Those were the only words I could force out. The girl in front of me frowned, her brows knitting together as if expecting more. But I had nothing else to say. So I said it again. "I really need help." I was a rogue, a lone wolf, and I had stumbled into this pack's territory looking for refuge—just for a little while. I just needed a place to rest, to gather my strength. I prayed she could help. Her expression softened as she studied me, concern flickering in her eyes. I must have looked awful—filthy, exhausted, desperate. Finally, after what felt like forever, she spoke. "I think I can help," she said slowly. "But first... do you mind telling me your name?" I hesitated before answering. "Rex… Rexxona." "Alright, Rex," she said with a grin, as if we were already friends. "Not to brag or anything, but my brother is the Alpha of this pack—Alpha Aries. And this is the Awoke Pack, in case you were wondering. I think I can pull a few strings for you." Internally, I

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Shelter

    Alpha Aries POV: Her introduction was powerful just like her presence. "I’m Rexxona. Nice to meet you, Alpha Aries." She dipped her head slightly, a respectful bow. I was taken aback by her boldness but masked it immediately. I was Alpha, after all. Before I could respond, Rose spoke up. "She’s a rogue seeking refuge. She asked me for help, so I thought I’d bring her to you for permission." Rexxona quickly added, "I’m sorry for intruding, but this was the nearest pack I could find." There was something about the way she spoke—calm, controlled. Not like a desperate rogue pleading for shelter. There was a quiet strength in her posture, something unspoken in her gaze. It unsettled me. "Give me a minute," I muttered, grabbing Rose by the arm and pulling her aside. "You know nothing about her, and you want me to just let her stay?" My voice was firm, low enough so Rexxona wouldn’t hear. "She could be a threat to our pack for all we know." "I know, I know," Rose whispered

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Introduction;

    Rexxona’s POVA soft knock at the door pulled me from the depths of sleep. My body felt heavy, my mind groggy, and for a brief moment, I forgot where I was. Then it all came rushing back—Jaxon’s rejection, the chase, my desperate escape, and my arrival in the Awoke Pack."Rex? Are you awake?"Rose’s voice was bright and cheerful, oblivious to the storm inside me. I forced myself up, shaking off the lingering haze of exhaustion."Yeah, just give me a second," I called back, quickly pulling on the fresh clothes she left me the night before.When I opened the door, she was beaming as usual. "Good morning! Alpha Aries has called for a pack meeting, and—" she clapped her hands together, eyes twinkling "—you’re the guest of honor!"My stomach dropped. A rogue as the guest of honor? That could only mean one thing—he was officially introducing me to the pack.I nodded, trying to hide my nerves. "Give me a minute to get ready."Internally, I was panicking. But there was no escaping this.I hur

    By the time Rose showed me to my room, exhaustion weighed me down like a boulder. After the tension of the meeting, her bubbly chatter was oddly comforting, even if I barely had the energy to respond."You’ll be safe here," she said with a reassuring smile. "Just try to keep a low profile for now, okay? And let me know if you need anything."I nodded, murmuring a quiet thank you as she left.The moment the door shut, I collapsed onto the bed, letting out a long breath. But before I could fully relax, the book came to mind. Its presence beneath my mattress was both a comfort and a burden, a secret pressing against my conscience.I reached down and pulled it out, my fingers running over its worn leather cover. My heart pounded with anticipation.What are you hiding?As I flipped it open, the first page was ordinary enough—faded ink in a language I didn’t recognize. But the moment my fingertips brushed against the words, a strange warmth spread through my skin. The ink began to glow fain

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Training Ground

    Sunlight streamed through the window, warming my skin as I stretched, my muscles aching from yesterday’s tension. The weight of my new reality settled over me, but I shoved it aside. Today was my first day of training with the Awoke Pack. I needed to prove I belonged—even if I technically didn’t After a quick shower, I pulled on the workout clothes Rose had left for me. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I had no idea how this pack trained. Hell, I had no idea how any pack trained. Rogues didn’t get the luxury of structured training. But I knew how to fight. Maron had made sure of that. The real question was whether my skills would be enough here. Exhaling sharply, I shook off the doubt and headed downstairs—only to find the pack house eerily empty. Shit. I was late. Panic surged through me, and I was about to bolt for the door when I spotted Rose outside, arms folded, waiting. "Are you waiting for someone?" I asked, masking my concern. Rose grinned. "I’m waiti

  • Rejected mythical Luna   The Fight

    The training ground fell silent as Rose and Lily stepped into the center of the ring. A faint breeze rustled the surrounding trees, carrying the scent of earth and pine, but all attention remained locked on the two she-wolves standing opposite each other. Rose rolled her shoulders, exhaling sharply as she settled into a fighting stance. Her muscles tensed with anticipation, her amber eyes locked onto Lily’s. Across from her, Lily stood poised and composed, her expression unreadable. Unlike Rose, there was no nervous energy in her stance—just pure, effortless confidence. Phillip stepped forward, his voice firm. "Ready?" Both girls gave a sharp nod. "Begin!" Lily moved first, a blur of motion as she closed the distance between them. Rose barely had time to react before Lily’s fist shot toward her ribs. Instinct took over—she twisted, dodging just in time, but Lily was relentless. A sharp kick followed, aimed at her knee. Rose barely managed to sidestep, but the force of the

  • Rejected mythical Luna   The Fight2

    Aries’ POV The moment Phillip called the match, Lisa attacked. She was fast—calculated, aggressive. A fighter trained in this pack’s combat style, skilled in overpowering her opponents before they even had a chance to react. But Rexxona… She didn’t get overwhelmed. She didn’t panic. She moved. Every dodge, every shift in her stance—it was fluid, controlled. Effortless. Like she’d done this a thousand times before. Lisa snarled in frustration as her flurry of punches failed to connect. Adjusting her stance, she launched a spinning kick toward Rexxona’s ribs—a powerful move, one that should have landed. Instead, Rexxona twisted at the last second, letting the attack graze past her. In a seamless motion, she caught Lisa’s extended leg and used her own momentum against her, forcing her off balance. Lisa stumbled. The crowd murmured in shock. Lisa never stumbled. Phillip’s expression hardened, but he remained silent, watching. Lisa growled, her face twisting with frustration.

  • Rejected mythical Luna   The calm before the storm

    The fight hadn’t gone exactly as I expected. Lisa was skilled—I had predicted that much—but toward the end, if Aries hadn’t stepped in, I had no idea how things would have played out. There was a moment, just before he called it, where I could feel something shifting in Lisa, like she was about to lose control. So much for being cool and composed. As I made my way toward Rose, I caught Lisa and Phillip giving me a look. I was tempted to stick my tongue out or flip them off, but I controlled myself. Lisa needed time to heal—physically and emotionally. Humiliation wasn’t something she was used to. Still, I couldn’t help but chuckle at my own thoughts. The moment I reached Rose, she practically bounced in excitement. "How did you learn to fight like that?! You looked so cool!" I shrugged, trying to downplay it. "I trained a bit with my Ma. I’m not really that good, I just got lucky." Rose scoffed. "Oh, please. No need to be humble. I'm so happy you won. Maybe now Lisa will finally

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Unspeakable Truth

    To say my night was actually used for sleeping would be doing a disservice to the very concept of sleep. And I wouldn’t want to insult the people who actually got some. My entire night was consumed by thoughts. Thoughts about her. What exactly was I thinking? I had no clue. All I knew was that my mind couldn’t stop drifting to her. I needed to figure out these feelings—fast. I had tried to kiss her. That alone meant I owed her an explanation when I saw her again. But what did I actually feel for her? That part, I still couldn’t put my finger on. All I was sure of was this—if we had kissed, truly kissed, I wouldn’t have regretted a single second of it. And that realization? It shook me to my core. Before I knew it, morning had arrived—and I still didn’t have answers. Being indecisive wasn’t like me, but I couldn’t help it this time. I dragged myself out of bed and stared at the guy in the mirror. “Way to go, Aries,” I muttered. “You totally pull off the zombie look.” With a shak

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Controlled chaos

    The sun peeping through the curtains did nothing to ease the anxiety twisting in my stomach. Every part of me wanted to curl back under the covers and pretend last night never happened. Pretend I didn’t nearly kiss Aries—the Alpha of the Awoke pack. Not just some guy… Aries.The worst part? I wasn’t sure if I wanted to avoid it—or do it all over again.After what felt like an hour of overthinking, I finally dragged myself out of bed. Maybe I could skip training with Julian and avoid the awkwardness. But of course, my legs had other plans. They carried me straight to the bathroom, right into my training clothes, and toward the door. Where was my willpower when I needed it?Julian had insisted we start training immediately. He wanted to be the first to witness my “cool powers.” So dramatic.I took a deep breath and stepped out of my room. The stairs creaked beneath my feet as I made my way down, nerves building with every step. I had to pass by Aries’s office to get to the training grou

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Almost!

    Watching Aries’s face inch closer to mine sparked a feeling I couldn’t even begin to describe. All the fear, doubt, and confusion I had been carrying melted away the moment he stepped into the room. Just a few words from him, and I believed—really believed—that everything would be okay. That he’d stand by me. So I didn’t move away. Instead, my grip on his arm tightened, bracing myself for what was about to happen.Without realizing it, I closed my eyes, my heart racing in sync with his. As someone who had never kissed anyone before, I should have been nervous, but I wasn’t. I knew he’d guide me. I could already feel his breath mingling with mine. His heartbeat thundered, fast and intense.Then, just when our lips were about to meet-bam! The door flew open.We immediately jolted apart, each moving to our own side of the couch like guilty teenagers caught in the act.“Rex!!!” came a voice I’d recognize even in my sleep. Julian.I sighed and looked at Aries, who stood and offered me his

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Between us

    What happened hours ago refused to leave my mind. I kept replaying it, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for what Rex did—but nothing made sense.Seeing her display that much strength… Enough to lift an Alpha like he was a rag doll? That wasn’t just unusual—it was impossible. Or at least it should’ve been.The moment Rose and her mother led her out of the arena, I was going to follow—but I knew I had to deal with Ron first.“Julian,” I called out, only to realize he was frozen in place, eyes wide with disbelief. “Julian!” I said again, placing a hand on his shoulder. That finally pulled him out of it.“What the hell did I just see?” he asked, still dazed.“Not now, man,” I said, nodding toward Ron, who was still on the floor surrounded by his pack members. “We have to handle this first.”Without hesitation, I turned to Regal, who stood pale and silent. “Get your Alpha some help. My Beta will escort you out of my territory. We’ll provide transportation, so you don’t have

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Together

    To say my mind was in the right place when I put Ron in his place would be a huge lie. My thoughts were a mess, and Ria had completely taken over. The rage was loud, clear, and honestly—justified. As much as I hated the way Ron spoke to Aries, I wouldn’t have exposed that much strength in front of a crowd. Not like that. I could feel Rose trying to pull me back, trying to stop me—but I just couldn’t let go. Not until I heard her voice. Maron. She pulled me back. Out of Ria’s grip and straight into the reality of what I’d just done. I was sure my eyes had changed—maybe even glowed—and without hesitation, Rose shielded me, Maron flanking my other side. Together, they led me out of the meeting room. I messed up. This is all your fault, I snapped at Ria. You might be able to tolerate that kind of insult, but I can’t, she hissed back. No one gets to speak to us like that and walk away. And just like that, she retreated—leaving me alone with the aftermath. I didn’t resist

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Questions

    The meeting started sooner than I had expected, but the moment the Alphas were all present in the room, I instantly mindlinked Julian to inform Rex. I hope their plan works smoothly, I thought as I brought my focus back to the meeting at hand. I was half-expecting someone to question the clash between Ron and me the previous day, but I guess he came up with some lame excuse—no one said a word.Thankfully, he remained quiet the entire meeting, so everything went smoothly. We were just about to wrap things up when my mom mindlinked me: Maron has been brought to her, and the spell is broken.I was ecstatic. All that was left now was for them all to leave so we could finally get back to our lives.“That concludes the meeting of the Association,” Alpha Levon spoke, rising from his seat. “Thanks, Alpha Aries, for the hospitality. We shall not forget it.”“It was my pleasure to host the Association,” I replied firmly, leading them out of the room.But as we stepped out, there was some commot

    “We need a third person,” she said, then disappeared for a moment. When she came back, she wasn’t alone. A boy I didn’t recognize was with her. “Who’s he?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “Don’t worry about it,” she said, still smiling. “Now, Danny, remember what I asked you to say?” “I dooo, Rose,” he groaned. “Just have my pay ready.” And with that, he strutted toward the room we’d just left. Rose and I followed quietly, hiding behind the nearest wall that could give us some cover. Danny knocked. The same woman from before answered, just as cold and stern. “What do you want?” she asked. “The Alpha’s asked to see you—and the lady,” Danny said, smooth as butter. “Both of us?” she asked, suspicious. “Yes,” he replied. “I don’t know what it’s about. I’m not from your pack, so I can’t question your Alpha. Just delivering the message.” She paused for a second, then nodded. “We’ll be on our way.” “You’re to meet him outside the meeting room,” Danny added, then casual

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Easy peasy

    Rex's POV Falling asleep that night was harder than I expected. I guess the adrenaline of what tomorrow could bring just wouldn’t let my mind rest. But eventually, after tossing and turning, I found enough peace to drift off. That’s when the dream hit me.It was about the book. The symbol on its cover came to life, glowing and pulsing, whispering over and over—“It’s almost time.” Time for what? It wouldn’t say. That phrase kept echoing until I jolted awake, heart pounding, sweat clinging to my skin. Morning had arrived. Only one thought circled in my head—I needed to find someone who could understand the book. Fast. And the first person that came to mind was Aries’ mom. But first… I had more urgent matters to handle. Maron. I got up and headed to the bathroom, preparing myself for what I knew wouldn’t be an easy day. By the time I stepped out, Rose was sprawled across my bed like she lived there. “You’re here early,” I said, towel-drying my hair. “Well, we’ve got

  • Rejected mythical Luna   Tomorrow

    Hearing Rex talk about her mom after everything she’d been through with Ron made my blood boil. I didn’t know why, but I had the urge to punch him all over again—like once hadn’t been enough. Yeah, I’d been eavesdropping. But in my defense, she just wouldn’t stop talking long enough for me to announce myself. And the more she spoke, the more I knew I had to help her. My mom could definitely figure out what Ron had done to Maron. As soon as I left Rose’s room, I mind-linked Julian. "Meet me in my office. Now." "Alright," came the short reply. Minutes later, I heard the door creak open. Julian strolled in and flopped onto the couch like it was his own. “What’s up?” he asked casually. “I need you to investigate something. It’s about Rex.” He sat up immediately, all traces of relaxation gone. “What about her?” “I heard from Rose that you’re aware of her history with Ron.” “Yeah… that jerk. What he did to her—he’s lucky I haven’t ripped him apart.” “Well, as much as I share the
