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

    Killian's eyes become apologetic. "You're right. I'm sorry. I just want to feel it again one last time.""You can't just reject me, then waltz into my house like you own this place, fill me with hurtful stories and then kiss me. It doesn't work like that. I understand your wolf might have pushed you to come over, but that's not an excuse. Isabelle is your mate now, not me," I said, making my voice a little louder. I was surprised that it didn't hurt me to be so blunt about it. There was a twinge of sadness in me, but I was hollow once more with my wolf gone again. He looked away from me in shame. He was staring at the fully open suitcase on my bed. "So, I guess you are going then," he said. "Yes, tonight."His head snapped at me. "So soon?""There is no reason to prolong my stay here, is there? I need to pick up the pieces and move on with my life, and getting out of this town is the only way to do that.""I think it is," he admitted. "But where will you go?" It took a moment fo

    Erix and I took turns fiddling with his radio inside his truck. The radio picked up many radio stations, but none of the songs they currently play suited our taste. Although Erix has some burned CDs, he told me that the truck wasn't his and belonged to his father. So, I should expect some old songs. "We should play just one. The old songs are gold. I still like to hear some of them rather than the new-aged music. I don't quite like it," I told him as I flipped the cd holder. "Well, you probably won't like it. But be my guess," Erix replied, concentrating his eyes on the road. I found some eighties to early nineties songs such as Bolton's, Shaina, and Bon Jovi. "Are you kidding me? These are all my favorites!" I told him before removing one of BJ's CDs and feeding it to the cd player. When the song started to play, my mood suddenly changed. I'm a sucker for old songs. My dad used to have many of them, and he would play songs while I watched him fix his car. Or sometimes I see

    When Erix stopped in front of me with his hand extended, I broke from my thought. I stared at his palm, facing upward, waiting for me to take it."Unity," he said, answering an unspoken question. "It's important to the pack and me." "Right," I answered dumbly. I placed my hand in his large one, the heat enveloping it. While he seemed comfortable holding on to me, I was stiff. This thing between us was something new. He gave it a light squeeze and smiled teasingly."Loosen up. We both have to get used to this eventually."Though it was mostly forced, I smiled back and tried to take his advice. I loosened up. I heave a sigh and let my shoulders fall to relax. I was never a fan of the crowd, even though I used to work in a diner. But he is right, and the restaurant and pack are different. I know I can do this.I gripped his hand a little tighter and nodded to him. "Okay, I'm ready."Erix seemed satisfied and pulled me beside him, away from the garage. The large house came back into vi

    I tensed at Erix's words. The next full moon? We still needed to discuss our mating date. Wasn't I supposed to be part of the decision?I shot him a disgruntled look. I'll wait until after this is over before I ask him about that. "I hope you will all give her a warm welcome to our pack. I want her to feel at home here," he finished. He shot me a breathtaking smile that would have melted me like butter if I wasn't still hurting due to recent events.There were murmurs of kind words and delighted looks on the faces of the pack. Almost immediately, people were lining up to greet me. They had obeyed Erix's request without issue. None of them seems forced to be polite. It honestly felt like they wanted to because I meant something to Erix."It's nice to meet you, Rain," an older woman said, shaking my hand. "I'm Sophia, Erix's Aunt. It's nice to put a face with the name finally.""It's a pleasure to meet you too. And I was sorry for the scene a few minutes ago," I replied. Sophia smile

    I didn't know he had a sister. Erix didn't mention it to me earlier. I thought I had met all of his family tonight. "Yeah," she nodded. "I just got back from my friend's house. Can you let him know that Erina made it back home, okay? I'm just going to go to bed." "Sure," I smiled. "I'm Rain, by the way." I was worried by the excitement that crossed her face at the mention of my name. She entered the room and sat next to me on the bed. "You're Rain," she said. "Of course you are. I feel so dumb. I was hoping I'd meet you soon. I didn't think it would be this soon, you know? I thought my brother might keep you to himself for a while, if you know what I mean." Who wouldn't know what she means? We both blushed at her comment. "How old are you?" I giggled. "Fourteen," she answered. "I might not be an adult yet, but I know how mates work." "True mates, maybe, but Erix and I weren't exactly the traditional types," I told her. She looked at me. Maybe she didn't understand the distin

    "Sorry if I startled you," Erina said, smiling. "I came here to check if you are already awake." I giggled. "It's fine. I was surprised to see you still here. Don't you have school today?" She shrugged. "I went to school, but classes are suspended. So I went home and decided to come and see you. You know, for catching up," Erina replied before making herself comfortable on Erix's bed. "Oh, alright. Wait for a sec and let me freshen up," I answered before walking back to the bathroom and doing my business. It took me half an hour before I finally exited the bathroom, ready to talk with Erina. "Shall I take you to my room? I made some breakfast there when I returned from school," she invited me. "Okay, lead the way," I smiled at her. Erix won't mind if I leave without telling him, right? Erina must have guessed what was in my mind. "I told Wyatt to tell Erix that I'll kidnap you and return to him when I feel like I want to," she said, grinning at me. I laughed at wh

    “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. He's inciting a riot within me and knows what he's doing."Let me."His voice was toned in silk, caressing my compulsions with its softness.He

    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. "Yes, yes, Cla

  • The Howl of Rejection   Chapter 153: Chaos

    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
