The Howl of Rejection Chapter 49: To be Claim
Once everything was loaded up in the SUV, Yelan and I had Max swing us to the mall for an hour so we could go shopping. I'm not really a fan of shopping, and I will only grab those things I see first. I'm not like the other women who spent hours upon hours looking for their clothes. I would rather spend my time at any bookstore. I did light shopping, but Yelan filled the SUV with bags of clothing. Jude looked at Yelan, but she only smiled at her. Nearing the time that Erix gave me to go home, Lee had taken it upon himself to choose our dining location, which also happened to be where the few guys from my pack were eating. They were the ones who were traveling with Lee when he left them to meet me. Jude and Max were not happy about this and considered calling Erix to tell them about it, but after some serious begging and convincing, they let me tell him instead after we went home. They didn't like to keep things from Erix, and I understand that. "You look good, Rain. Erix's pack lo
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 50: Wanted to be Claim
Erix's eyes stared at mine, still irritated. I sighed tiredly and ran my hand through my black hair. "Can we not dwell on that? Yes, I should have told you before I did it, but you can lecture me later. There are much bigger things to discuss right now. I've decided for us."Erix looked like he was about to come back with another retort until the last of my words caught him by surprise, and he closed his mouth. His serious expression morphed into one of curiosity."Continue."I took a deep breath. "I've decided to let you claim me.""You have?" he asked. "Yeah. I've decided I have to move on completely. And these dreams…I don't think I can handle them any longer. They're becoming too much for me, and they must be stopped. You were right; I do need you. We need each other. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to accept that completely."Erix's face held an interest in my words. "Why do you think that is?""I don't know," I shrugged. "I guess I just never liked to admit I needed help. I
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 51: Preparing for the Visitors
"Ruiz was friends with my parents, so he knows the anger I've held over this," Erix said. "Even though he was considerably younger than them, they were still close. He's been a great mentor to me. When I was lost and didn't know how to run a pack, he helped and showed me the ropes. He couldn't have been kinder. I owe him a lot for that.""How old is Alpha Ruiz?" I asked curiously. "Thirty-five. Ruiz is between mine and my parent's age.""And his mate? She's the same age as him?"Thirty-five was considerably older than me. I couldn't help but worry. I wouldn't have anything in common with them."Twenty- seven. Just a few older than you, but only a little. Ruiz met her four years ago. Just a year before my parents passed."I felt a little relieved at that. We'll have more in common, after all. Five years is pretty decent. However, she's had a lot more experience with Alpha Duties than I had. Maybe she'll give me pointers. Erix looked at the clock and then back to me. "Wyatt's waitin
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 52: Alpha Ruiz and Luna Magdalene
No one seemed nearly as nervous as me. I am about to meet the largest pack in Tempest. Everyone here must have been accustomed to this gathering, whereas I am not. Being new here made me feel out of place in this situation. "You'll be fine," Erina assured me. "You'll have to get used to us being presented as family sooner or later. You're my brother's mate, after all. It's customary."I didn't think I could feel any more nervous than I was, but her words only worsened it. They echoed in my mind.Family.Is that what we were? Erix and Erina are; I knew that, but not me. At least not yet. Being mates in the werewolf world was much like being married in the human world. It made you one, whether in the eye of Heaven or a pack of wolves. It would be just like that for us as well. I felt nauseous from all the pressure I was starting to feel. It couldn't have come at a worse time. If it weren't for Erix gripping my hand, I'm sure I would have given in to my urge to run back to his room an
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 53: Magdalene's words
"I'm claiming Rain tonight," Erix announced. It was like a bomb that had dropped in front of us.Ruiz was taken aback momentarily before a pleased look appeared on his face. "That's great, Erix," Ruiz said. "It really is," Magdalene seconded. "It will help both of your wolves considerably.""We plan to mate in two weeks before the next full moon. Our wolves will be at their strongest then. It will make us stronger as well," Erix added. I blushed at how easy it was for him to talk with them about our mating. They were still strangers to me, even if they were his close friends. Magdalene giggled at that and caused Erix and me to look at her curiously. Soon, Ruiz chuckled as well. "What?" we both asked simultaneously. Trying to compose herself, she barely sobered enough to tell us, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh. It's just that neither of you will possibly be able to wait that long to mate."Ruiz suddenly stood from the couch, held his arm out of Erix, and motioned him to join him.
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 54: He Claimed Her
One thing is for sure, Magdalene had certainly given me a lot to consider. After everything she explained to me, consequences included, I don't know how to deny Erix. All he wanted to do was to have a second chance, like me. That wasn't asking for too much. It would be selfish of me not to give him that. I know it was scary, but this is for my wolf and me. The rejection made her unable to communicate with me, and the pain of the bond still lingers within us and affects her more than me. As much as I needed this, my wolf had to move on without someone who would never reject us. Maybe Magdelene is correct.Suddenly I felt something in my chest. I heard my heart beat unusually. Do I not love Erix? Was it all because of our souls intertwining? I don't know yet. If it's love, am I ready to love him? I'll try. "You're right," I agreed. "If it's one thing I've learned through this whole thing with Erix, it is anything possible. He saved me once, and now it's my turn to save him back."A w
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 55: Mood swing
Erix had claimed me four hours ago, and I was still in pain. I cried for hours on end that night. It was almost unbearable. If it were not for Erix holding me in his arms all night, the pain would be incredibly worse. And I was thankful for him. My emotions were all over the place as well. I couldn't think straight. I had never felt more bipolar in my life, which was another reason for my tears. One minute I was fine, and the next, I was crying. The sheets on the bed were covered with blood, and so was the room with scent. It was good that I didn't have an aversion to blood, or I would have been sick. At times I found myself hating Erix for causing me to be in extreme amounts of pain and wanted to push him away. Though when I started to go through with it, I backed out and couldn't do it. I needed to, no, I wanted him next to me. His arms offered so much comfort. The claim started to forge a bond, and my wolf accepted it. She had yet to appear, though I could only hope that Erix sa
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 56: Another Friend
A soft knock came on the door before I was able to push my body off the door. I sensed it was Erix right away. But really, who else would be knocking on our bathroom door?Woah, ours? Where did it come from? It's not yet ours, and it's his. I'm just a guest in his room. Erix is being hospitable by letting me stay here. That's all. "I'm sorry, baby, let me in?" he asked. "Please."I couldn't say no to that voice. It was calling out for me. Erix wanted me, and I wanted him too. I quickly moved from the door and threw it open before wrapping my arms around his neck. I buried myself into his neck and inhaled him once again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just…""I know," he finished. "I understand. This is just one of those side effects of being claimed. Your body doesn't know how to handle all your newfound emotions. They are intertwined with mine, and it will confuse you a lot."I nodded but didn't speak. What Erix said certainly made sense. "Come on, I'll help you ba
