Hello. I'm sorry for uploading the same chapters 29 and 30. I don't know what happen but please ignore the other chapters.
"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
The first place I want to see is the kitchen. For me, the best part of a house is the kitchen. Why? Because magic happens in the kitchen. And since Erix is nowhere to be found, I'll tour myself. Coming to the bottom of the stairs, I tried to remember which way the kitchen was in this enormous house. It was last night when Erix showed me the way, but now, even in my more conscious state, I couldn't remember. I was tired last night to even keep the kitchen's location in my mind. Looking to my left and then right, I decided to go to my right, the exact opposite way we went last night to meet the pack. The kitchen would be on the other side of the house and needed a bigger space than any other room, especially in this kind of house. I knew I was right when I passed by a few familiar doors. I remember passing Erix's spacious office on the way to it. I took a moment to stop and look in now that I could study it better. The dark wood interior gave it a look of importance and elegance
"Are you ready to retake the alpha position?" I asked him. "Very soon," Erix nodded. " I need to get in touch with the pack first.""That being the reason for today," I stated in understanding. "Yeah."I jumped up from my seat with much enthusiasm and grinned. I would surely take it if Erix were willing to show around and include me in the pack business. I was eager to get to know everyone better, and this would be the best way. "Okay, great. Let's go." "Wait," he said, holding his hand up to stop me from getting too excited. "I kinda want to talk to you about something first."His voice seemed tense, which, in turn, made me wary of his next words. I wouldn't say I liked the tense moment with him as much as the others. He's too serious and Alpha-like. I guess I would have to get used to that because that is exactly what he was, an Alpha. I moved back to my seat behind me, sitting and slumping, waiting for him to continue. "I wanted to discuss the terms of our mating," he began w
"Isabelle's not exactly my pack mate, but her mother and twin sister were," Erix told me while walking. "She and Carmela were the product of a one-night stand if you can call it that. Their mother, our omega, took the twins, and later on, Isabelle moved out of the pack and went with her biological father," he said.I watch him closely, studying every reaction his face shows. "Isabelle and I were friends when we were kids. She's smart, strong-headed, and mischievous. But when Isabelle went with his father, she became prim and proper. She changed, maybe because of her stepmother. And when I saw her one time in the camp, I knew Isabelle was my mate, but she was already with Killian and madly in love.To summarize, she rejected me even if she felt the pull. She told me she couldn't see me as her partner but as a friend. Though I begged her to come home with me, she never looked at me," Erix said. "Do you still want her to be your luna if Killian will let her go one day?" I asked him. E
Just like Erix promised, after everything was done, I was on my own. He spent the remainder locked up in his office, which I found this morning. Erix is probably getting back up on all things pack-related and took to go on my tour of the house. I liked to explore. On my way to the library, I passed by a door Erix still needed to show me. I was swept away by my curiosity. After my inner battle about whether I should enter, I decided to see what was there for myself. Erix hadn't warned away from any areas, so I assume proceeding is fine. When I opened the door, I quickly found a pair of steps behind it that led downward into the basement. I followed it until I reached the bottom. I was surprised to see an infirmary down below. It resembled a local clinic in my town. The infirmary in my old pack was nowhere this large; in fact, it tripled the size of this one. I imagine all the excess beds were for those injured during a battle. They must have had conflict in the past if they had the
After learning of Erix's history, I find myself in the kitchen. I couldn't fathom how much pain Erix had to carry on himself. Having a mate would have lessened that burden if only he had one, and he was accepted, but to no avail; Isabelle rejected him. What kind of a mate leaves her fated pair into a mess? My stomach grumbled and warned me to eat soon or I would suffer later. Not feeling like cooking, I grabbed an apple from the bowl I saw sitting on the counter and sat next to a pretty blond girl who looked like she was working on something that looked like college homework. I remembered her face from last night. But I couldn't remember her name. She smiled at me when she caught me looking at her. I felt bad staring."Hi, Rain," she said, making me feel even worse for not remembering her name. "I'm Yelan, remember?" I felt relieved when she mentioned her name. "Right, of course. How are you?" She looked down at her homework and groaned. "I'm fine, but this calculus homework is
Erix didn't seem bothered by the fact that he was practically naked before me, and I don't know why. The two explanations I could come up with are maybe he used to be like this because this is his room. He probably didn't mind if someone walked in. Or he used to come here in his wolf form, and when he shifts, he's naked, not minding it. Thankfully, I had yet to do that before anyone, but I knew it couldn't be avoided forever. When I was sure it was safe to get up, I looked at a fully dressed Erix. He looked hot. I mean, yeah, he is hot. He's hotter than Killian. Period. That's it. I couldn't deny that. It would be a lie to say otherwise. "Dinner is almost ready. The pack members are waiting for us downstairs," he said. "Okay, I'll clean up quickly and meet you down there," I replied before taking off my ponytail. I don't know if it was just me, but I saw Erix's eyes flash something when I looked at him after letting my long black hair down like a curtain. I know my hair is healthy
Somewhere in my mind, I knew it was merely a dream, but I couldn't find my way back to reality. I was lost in my mind, with no one to bring me out of my suffering. "He rejects us!" my wolf whispered. "Our mate chose another mate over us." My wolf whimpered at the new realization. And I wished for anything I could to console her, But I was just as broken as her. I felt weak and sick. I had to grab the table to keep my balance. Killian became concerned but didn't move to help me. "He married Isabelle behind our back! He lied to us!" My wolf screamed and showed how broken she was. "Without him, we are nothing, Rain. Let's end our suffering; let's end it right now! "Rain."No. Killian left me! He left me for another mate. I grabbed my chest. I-I… just…I can't. It hurts so much!"Rain!" Someone was shaking me vigorously. Leave me alone! You left me. You broke me! Just go!"Rain, you have to wake up. It's just a dream," I felt disoriented. Who was talking? Where was that voice com
