Chapter 16: Figuring it out

Author: Colorless
last update Last Updated: 2023-02-10 05:49:14

I found myself inside the former Alpha's house. How did I get here? I don't exactly know.

After I got myself out of my former house, two warriors had been expecting me.

"Alpha Killian has instructed us to take you to his old house for interrogation," Marcus told me. He was my former classmate during high school and is now one of the warriors in our pack.

I arched my brow.

"What for?" I asked him.

"Just follow us. Alpha Killian will attend you after the meeting," he replied.

I felt annoyed but obligated.

"Shift," he commanded.

This man is getting on my nerves, but I don't want to create another commotion. I'm not usually like this, but I have been in a bad mood since Killian is with Isabelle again.

I shifted into my wolf, not minding if I tore the dress in the process. And when we reached the house just a few meters from the pack house, Marcus gave me a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt.

"Get inside and wait until Alpha's arrival," he said before closing the door.

    The past few days were excruciating. Killian hasn't contacted me nor decided to check on me. He still needs to give me the result of his promise. And it's provoking me to be angrier at him. It has been a couple of weeks, and the more I wait, the more I become agitated. Even my wolf grew impatient. There would be a time when I wanted to go to the pack and confront Isabelle myself. I wanted to tell her that I was Killian's mate and she was not needed anymore. I knew Killian would not like it, so I restrained myself and waited.I often wondered if Isabelle knew Killian's mate, and I'm sure something about Killian changed. She should be suspecting something different about him.Ugh. It's too exhausting to think and to wait. And then there's someone who has been looking out for me..It was Marcus. Killian probably didn't trust me, so he sent Marcus to check on me. Erix knew this, so we only communicated through messages and calls. He understands me, and I am grateful for that. "Rain,"

    I lost the very reason for me to live. Not only did Killian break my heart and bond, but Killian also took the life out of me. I want to die and be at peace. I bit my lips to stop myself from crying. When will this suffering end? Before I knew it, it was nightfall again. I could hear the owls in the woods outside my house, better in the dark. I often fell asleep to their sounds. It is the only thing that can help me sleep. It was like a melody only for me. I slept soundly for most of the night. I only woke up to the sound of the wind howling through or when the rain picked up heavily on the roof. I wasn't sure when the rain started, but it was soothing nonetheless. I like it more of a quit pitter patter though.When the day came again, I was awake and greeted by another painful realization that I was only alive to endure the pain alone. I want to die. I badly want to die. I hate the thought of waking up every day and missing some part of me that I used to have, my wolf. There was

    Erix's Point of View"Thank you for bringing my sister to us, Alpha Erix," Zander said, full of sadness. "She's my friend, and I'm sorry for what happened," I told him before handing him the unconscious Rain."I understand, Alpha," he smiled, although the smile didn't reach his ears. "I can't face Rain when she wakes up," his mate told Zander. "All along, I was praising Isabelle for how good Luna she would be to Rain. I should have known," she added, crying. "It's not your fault. You don't know the situation. And I'm sure Rain will understand," Zander said, calming his mate before leaving. "Do you think she can survive the rejection?" ask my wolf as we watch the two leaving with Rain. "Let's hope she can. We barely survived when Isabelle rejected us.""I like her. Her wolf is someone independent, just like her human. Make sure to continue the plan. If it's not her, then I won't accept any other she-wolf," my wolf said before disappearing. It wasn't my plan to meet Killian's mate

    Ah, why am I still alive? I was supposed to die when I jumped off the cliff. Why am I at the hospital? "Why did you take me here?" I asked Erix, who was staring at me. "Why did you save me?" I surprised myself when I spoke. Those were the first words I spoke since that day, and they happened to be him. My voice came out strained since it had been months since I said anything, but he didn't seem to pay that much attention. "Because Zander is worried about you.""Did you know about my plan to kill myself?" "I know something like what you did will happen, so I have kept my eye on you since that day.""Why care? You could just let me die in peace," I told him, not even sparing a glance at him. He was the one who urged my mate to end things with me. There was evidence of Killian's betrayal, but I can talk with him and possibly beg to break up with Isabelle."I want to talk to you," he said. "Leave me alone," I told him. He didn't move. He keeps staring at me in a way that starts to

    "I'm physically unable to be an Alpha to my pack. I am still too weak to make a decision since the rejection. You'd say it's almost a year, but still, the effect of losing my Luna took a toll on me. My Beta had to take over for me until I could resume my position again," he paused for a moment and continued. "You can help me with that. We can help each other and become normal again. Or maybe become happy if we tried enough."This time I was finally able to speak. I still had questions poking at my mind. And I needed answers from Erix."We were friends. Is that why you befriended me because you knew I was Killian's mate?""Yes. Knowing Killian, he will keep Isabelle no matter what happens. I used to be his best friend back in our Alpha Training. Isabelle was our Trainer's daughter. He met her first, but I was her mate. He rejected me the night I found out that Isabelle was my mate. I knew that Killian would not make you his official Luna. He intended you to be his mistress, just like t

    Zander understands my decision. Kaila didn't interfere, either. Both of them knew my situation and that it would be good for me to start a new life away from this pack. "Alpha Erix told me to help you, so I agree with this, Rain," Zander told me when Kaila left us alone to prepare our lunch. "I thought I had lost you when I saw you unconscious at the hospital. I would choose you far from me rather than not seeing you forever. You scared the hell out of me, sis." "I'm sorry," I apologize. "I was too selfish, and I didn't consider the feelings of those around me. I'm sorry, brother. I was lost."Zander smiled. I can see that he is happy seeing me connected to them again. "So when are you going to leave?" he asked me. "Tonight, brother," I replied. "That soon?""The earlier, the better.""Food is ready!" Kaila's voice boomed from the dining area. Zander and I stood up and went to where Kaila was. "I cooked all your favorite food, Rain," she said, smiling. "Thank you," I replied.

    Ever since the rejection, I have doubted myself. There are a lot of questions flooding my mind. Was I not good enough? Am I not fit to be Luna? I continued packing up the dresser until I could no longer bear it. I fell onto my bed and slumped. Kaila jerked her head towards me before walking to the end I sat on and took the clean spot next to me. "What's wrong with me, Kai?" She wrapped her slender hands around my shoulders in an act of comfort and sighed wearily. "There's nothing with you, Rain. You just lost your mate. It's a completely natural reaction to that," she said. I shook my head. "No, not that. I mean my whole life. Why am I so different from all of the other female wolves?"Sympathy crossed over her features as she stared back at me. "There's nothing wrong with you like I said, Rain. You are your own person. You are special. It reminds me of a book I read about Princess Letisha in Middle Eastern countries. She was adventurous and outspoken. She followed what her heart

    "I come here to talk," Killian said. "I won't come any further if you would prefer it."I didn't speak. I was afraid even to dare to speak. My voice couldn't hold up talking to Killian. Everything I buried deep inside would come spilling out with my words. Instead of answering, I nodded at him, and he understood. He dropped his hands and sat facing me on the edge of my bed. Even in my wolf's weak state, she tried to listen. "I had to see you before you left. I need to explain myself before you hate me forever."His words seem sincere, and I have difficulty believing in him. But my wolf believes in him. "I want you to know I never intended to reject you," he began. "The day I discovered you was the happiest moment in my life. Maybe if you had stayed in the pack, I would have met you before Isabelle. I had my eye on you when I first saw you during your graduation. I thought to myself, maybe if you were mateless, I would have courted you. But after that, you disappear. And hardly join

    “Will you marry me?” The first words came from Erix’s mouth when I woke up. I was about to yawn and prepare myself for a whole day of Luna and Mother duty. I looked at Erix and then at the white and gold ring with a diamond and some bluish precious stones circling the largest diamond. “Uhm, Erix?” I asked him, confused. “We already became mates, a werewolf wedding, plus we already had four children. I think it’s too late for this,” I added. “It’s never been too late for us to get married, baby,” Erix said as he held my left hand. “It’s my dream to marry a woman I love like my Dad did to Mom.”I smiled at him. What he said warmed my heart, and who am I to say no to him? “Will you marry me, Luna?” He asked again. I nodded at him. “Yes, Erix. I’ll marry you,” I said. “So when are you going to marry me?” I added, teasing him after he slid the ring to my finger and kissed it.“As soon as possible,” he replied. “I want an extravagant wedding, something we can never forget.

    I dipped my fingers inside his boxers and rubbed the pad of my thumb over the tip of him, ghosting my hand over the length of him.It's my turn to feel his body tremble from what I'm doing to him. It had been a while, and I knew Erix was excited, just like me. I have the power to do what I want to do because this male was mine, not by fate but by love. This mine, he's all mine. I watched Erix take a deep breath and groan out, closing his eyes. I start to pick up the pace as his hips begin to move back and forth into my fingers that have wrapped tightly around his length.His strong thighs trembled from my touch, and his eyes fluttered open, looking at me. Up and down using slow, strong strokes; I love watching this, watching him gasped quietly through slightly parted lips. I'm glad because I am the only one who can bring this side of him. I love this man so much that I will sacrifice for him. I moved faster, and my grip tightened on him, with a destination that I was going to brin

    "The kids had already slept?" Erix asked me as soon as I entered our room. "Yeah. The twins finally settled down," I said, sighing before I climbed on the bed. My original plan was to sleep early, but Erix had something in his mind as soon as he put the book he was reading and started kissing me."You have no idea how long I waited, Rain," Erix said in between little nips of my skin, not enough to cause real pain, just enough to entice a rush of endorphins to be released into my bloodstream, causing excessive pleasure to rage throughout my body. He's playing to my compulsions, riling them up for what's to come...he needed them in his corner.I squirm underneath him, his hands running along my body, over my clothes, feeling my body, his fingers firm...so demanding.He began to kiss my neck, his wet tongue flicking against my sensitive flesh.

    With the blood infusion, Rain was saved. Diesel had hurt her so badly to the point he killed his son and endangered Rain's life. I wish I had finished him, but Zander had to do it to take what belonged to him. After Diesel's defeat, Zander took the position of Alpha and led the largest pack back to its former self before Diesel's family took it in. The doctor who did everything to save Rain was their actual Aunt. She poured all her knowledge into helping Rain and assisted Zander when he claimed the title of an Alpha.When Rain gained consciousness, her heart broke when she learned her baby didn't make it. Although the baby was not mine, I wasn't that heartless to wish him death. With Rain's fatal internal wounds, Luna Sonia said, it might take her chance to get pregnant again. Everything is back to normal now. Rijel and Diesel's death ended our suffering, and we live freely now."Mom! Come on, you got to see my friend," Clay said as he was pulling his mother's hand.

    I growled so loud. It was the only way for the black wolf to distract what he was doing with my Rain. The wolf stopped from biting her. Rain collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Pregnant she-wolves were prohibited from shifting since the baby might crash. But why on earth was Rain in her wolf form despite being pregnant? The answer lies in the bastard, who had a cocky smirk, even in his wolf form. Suddenly, ten wolves tried to tackle me on the ground. I was too careless; my whole attention was with Rain, and I forgot I was in a battleground. The wolves pinned me down, ensuring I could see what was happening with Rain. Rain looked at me, still panting. She was forced to stand up but failed miserably. There was another wolf behind her who was covered in blood, and I doubt if it's still breathing. Rain's wolf huffed, trying to crawl to me, but the Black wolf stepped on her back. Rain whispered as I growled at the black wolf, warning him not to dare. The black wolf looked at

    Erix's point of viewWhat Jordan told me was like a bomb exploding in my face. Rain is pregnant, not mine, but with someone else's baby! My wolf was in a rage; it wanted to rip this man's head before me, but I tried to calm him down. But what enraged me more was the man who had her was none other than Diesel Saavedra, Zander's best friend. "Starting from your parent's death to Rain's pregnancy, it was all planned," Jordan told me as he was driving. "The Blood Pack was just a distraction that Diesel had created and secretly pulled the string without anyone noticing it," he added. "Is there any particular reason why that bastard decided to ruin mine and Rain's life?" I said, trying to calm down. "For power," he said. "And for Rain. He has been wanting her since she was just a little girl; hence, he impregnated her because he wanted Rain to be his mate, and getting her pregnant through threat was just a bonus.""Threatening her?""Yes, like he'll kill you and your pack, which we know

    "Erix," I breathe, stepping through the front door. He clenched his jaw and looked at me. "Rain?" His voice was shaky. "Erix, I'm home," I smiled and ran to him. He pulled me into a tight hug. Tears form in my eyes. I'm relieved to finally go home. "I thought you were dead," Eris whispered in my hair. I fell silent for a while. "Rain, you have to leave," he croaked. I pulled away from him and furrowed my eyebrows."What? Why?" "There's someone else, Rain. You were gone so long that I couldn't help but fall in love with someone else," he said.A look of regret crossed his face. My lips parted, and I started to say something."What about Clay? Amira? Where are they?""They're fine. They have a new mom now. You left them, and it's all your fault," Erix growled. It's all my fault."B-but I can explain why I was gone," I begged him to just listen to me, but Erix didn't show any sympathy. "I don't need someone like you anymore. Hence, I should have let you die when you decided to kil

    "Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my territory?"A man in his late forties appeared behind a large tree. Five more wolves joined him and bore their canines to us. "P-please," Alice begged them. "We don't mean any harm. We only crossed this land because we were being chased. We're sorry for trespassing, sir."The white wolf who tackled Alice let her go and shifted into a man. He looked intently at Alice as if fighting something within him. "Where did you come from, and who was chasing you?" the older man asked. "We're from Greyhound Pack," Alice replied. Suddenly, a loud growl erupted from the man who shifted recently. "That bastard's pack!?" he growled. "Calm down, Jean. We need to know how they came here and stuff. Take them to the pack for interrogation," the older man said. He was probably the Alpha. Some of the wolves carried our bags and shifted into their human form as we walked to a path cleared of snow.We walked for about half an hour before a beautiful and mode

    "Rain, do you think you can walk?" Alice asked me out of nowhere. "Yes, I can. Why?" "I feel uneasy. Let's get out here. Something bad would happen when I feel like this," she added. "Come, let's go," she said, bringing out the bags full of baby's clothing and some of our clothes.Without questioning and believing her, I helped her pack. "It's snowing. The scent of snow blocks any scent of potential intruders. With Diesel's connection, I can' assure us we're still safe here. It's better than sorry."Alice shifted into her wolf form and told me to ride on her back. I did what she wanted, and as soon as I tapped her gently, saying I was good to go, she sprinted at her top speed without particular direction. Despite the thick snow slowing us down, we made it far until we heard a loud howl. It was so loud that it made me and Alice tremble. Alice and I reached a wide river that was partially covered with eyes. We could not go to the other side without crossing that river. Alice looked
