The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Eight
Raine POV Laughter rippled through the table, but I barely heard it over the rushing in my ears.I turned, slowly, locking eyes with Ronan. He was smirking, as if expecting me to crumble. As if I hadn’t already endured years of his torment.But today was different.Today, I was done.I took a step forward, my tray of food clutched so tightly in my hands that my knuckles turned white. The cafeteria noise dulled, students catching onto the tension, eyes flickering between me and Ronan like they were waiting for a show.Ava perfectly manicured fingers traced circles on the table as she leaned closer to Ronan, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness. “Ugh. Why does she even bother showing up?”I ignored her. Or, at least, I tried to.But then Ronan’s voice cut through the air—low, lazy, and laced with amusement.“Maybe she likes being a charity case.”Lena sucked in a sharp breath beside me.Something cold and sharp curled inside me, a thread snapping too tight, too fast.“Well, isn

Ava POVI could still feel the heat of everyone's stares burning into me.My fingers curled into fists under the table, nails pressing into my palms so hard they threatened to draw blood. But nothing—nothing—could compare to the fire licking up my spine, the sheer mortification sitting heavy in my chest.That bitch.That useless, pathetic little nobody just humiliated me in front of everyone.A low, irritated growl rumbled in the back of my mind, my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin. Weak, she snarled, a sharp edge to her voice. You let her challenge you. You let her win.I clenched my jaw, trying to keep my expression neutral. I refused to let Raine have this moment. If she thought she could walk away from this unscathed—if she thought this was over—she was wrong.So very wrong.The cafeteria was quieter now, still thick with tension from what had just happened. A few students whispered, heads turning toward me, toward Ronan. I caught sight of Jaxon smirking behind his drink, Za

Ronan POVLaughter rippled through the cafeteria, sharp and cruel.I barely heard it.I was watching her.Raine stood there, tray clenched so tightly in her hands that her knuckles turned white. But it wasn’t fear. Not this time.No, something shifted in her.I saw it in the way her shoulders squared, in the fire burning in her eyes, in the way she was looking at me—not with the usual resentment or exhaustion, but with something dangerous.Something that made my wolf stir.A deep growl curled through my mind, a sound of interest, of approval.“She’s done running,” my wolf rumbled, ears perked forward, watching her as if she were prey that had finally decided to fight back.I forced my smirk to stay in place, feigning boredom. “What is?”I expected her to waver. To hesitate.She didn’t.“You,” she said, letting the word slice through the air like a blade.Something inside me twitched.My wolf growled, but not at her. At me.“You pushed her too far.”Shut up, I snapped at him, locking m

Raine POVThe moment I stepped out of the cafeteria, my lungs expanded like I had been suffocating inside. The weight of all those stares, all those whispers—it was still there, but at least I wasn’t in the middle of it anymore.Lena walked beside me, her grip tight on my wrist before she finally let go. “Holy shit, Raine.” Her voice was breathless, half in awe, half in disbelief. “Where the hell did that come from?”I swallowed, still feeling the pulse of adrenaline in my veins. “I don’t know.”“Are you kidding?” She gave me a little shove. “That was the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen in my life. You made Ava shut up. You made Ronan shut up.”I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing. Ronan was unpredictable. He didn’t like losing, and that—whatever just happened in there—was a loss.The hallway wasn’t as crowded as usual, but I could still feel eyes on me. Some students were murmuring, casting side glances like I had just grown fangs and claws right in front of them.I should hav

The night was restless.Bloodmoon was always eerily quiet after dark, but tonight, the silence felt wrong. Thick, suffocating. Even the wind held its breath.I didn't sleep. I couldn't.Maybe it was the lingering rage from earlier, the way Mr. Calloway had dismissed me like I was nothing. Maybe it was Ronan's smug smirk, the knowledge that no matter what he did, no one would hold him accountable.Or maybe it was the way the air felt.Like something was waiting.Lena had tried to make me laugh before we parted ways after school, but even she seemed unsettled. Her usual fire had dimmed, her shoulders tense as she muttered, "Something's off."She was right.I just didn't know how right she was-yet.I was just starting to drift off when it happened.The first scream.It cut through the night like a blade, high-pitched and raw.My body went rigid, adrenaline slamming through my veins as I shot upright in bed.Then another. And another.My heart pounded. What the hell?I threw off my blanke

Ronan povThe scent of blood clung to the air.No matter how many warriors scrubbed the earth or how many torches burned, it lingered—thick, metallic, and wrong.Even after the bodies were taken away, after the flames turned flesh to ash, the pack still felt tainted.I stood near the center of the war room, my arms crossed, my body rigid with tension. My wolf paced inside me, growling low and deep. He was angry.No—he was terrified.I clenched my fists. I hadn’t felt fear in years—not like this. I had trained for battle since I was a kid, sparred with warriors twice my size, faced down rogues without blinking. But tonight…That thing.It wasn’t a wolf.Not entirely.And it had been watching her.I exhaled sharply, shoving the thought away just as the heavy doors to the war room swung open.Alpha Killian entered first, his face stone-cold, his usual calm sharpened to something lethal. His presence dominated the room, every movement precise, controlled. But his eyes—they burned with the

Ronan pov The night air was crisp, the scent of damp earth thick after the evening’s storm. I moved silently through the shadows, my paws pressing into the soft dirt as I padded through the dense forest that bordered Raine’s house.My wolf had been restless all night. The meeting had ended hours ago, but no matter how much I tried to ignore it, the instinct still burned deep in my bones—I had to see her.I had to make sure she was safe.I had to breathe in her scent, see her chest rise and fall with sleep, confirm that nothing had taken her away from me while my guard was down.Pathetic.I clenched my jaw, shaking the thought away as I emerged from the trees, stopping just within the shadows at the edge of her home.The house was dark except for the faint glow of a lamp from her bedroom window. I lowered myself to the ground, ears twitching, watching.Just one look. That was all. Then I’d leave.Except my wolf wasn’t satisfied with just watching.I didn’t realize I had moved closer u

Raine's POV I slammed my window shut with more force than necessary, the glass rattling in its frame. My breath came in sharp, uneven gasps, my hands trembling at my sides. I hated him. God, I hated him. It should've been impossible for a person to feel this much rage without bursting apart. My chest burned, my skin was hot, and my mind spun with too many emotions to contain. Why? Why was he like this? Ronan had stood beneath my window like a ghost haunting the night, his dark fur blending with the shadows. For a second-just a second-my heart had stilled at the sight of him. He hadn't moved, hadn't made a sound, just watched me with those piercing golden eyes, the same eyes that had always been filled with malice. And then, like the absolute bastard he was, he had shifted-just to mock me, to tear me apart all over again. "Do you think I care enough to check up on you?" His voice had been so cold, so sharp it could've sliced through steel. "You're being delusional." I clench

Raine’s POV“That prick,” I muttered under my breath, kicking a loose rock as Lena and I made our way back to town. "I swear, I like him better in his wolf form."Lena snorted, giving me a knowing look. “You know, you might be the only person who thinks that.”I rolled my eyes. “That’s because you’re all blind. He’s just a big, arrogant mutt.”“Mm-hmm.” She hummed, smirking. “A mutt that seems to be softening toward you.”“In your dreams.”“His wolf definitely adores you.”“Shut up.”We continued walking, but I could feel it—Ronan’s presence behind us. He wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he was following. His footsteps were too measured, too calculated. I refused to turn around, but the weight of his gaze pressed against my back like a tangible force.What the hell was his problem? One minute, he was my tormentor, the next, my shadow.When we reached the outskirts of the forest, my stomach dropped. Bad luck must have been written all over me tonight because standing there, lea
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Twenty-One
Ronan’s POVSomething is wrong.My wolf is restless, pacing in my mind like a caged beast. My heartbeat pounds like war drums, fast and erratic, as if I’ve just run for miles. A sick, sinking feeling settles in my stomach."Raine is in danger," my wolf growls, the words laced with fury and desperation.I try to fight him, to keep control, but I know it’s pointless. My wolf is stronger when it comes to her. He won’t stop. He won’t let me ignore this.The shift takes over before I can stop it, my bones breaking, rearranging, my senses sharpening like a blade. The moment my paws hit the earth, I bolt, running toward the forest with one thought pounding in my head.Find her. Protect her.The scent hits me before I even reach the trees—hers. But it’s laced with something that makes my vision blur with rage.Fear.It’s thick, suffocating.And she’s not alone.Lena Monroe is with her. But there’s something else. Something dark. Something is wrong."The creatures," my wolf snarls.Those creat
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Twenty
Raine povThe forest felt alive in the worst way.A slow, crawling sensation prickled along my skin as I locked eyes with the glowing red orbs in the darkness. A deep, guttural sound rumbled from the shadows—not quite a growl, not quite a snarl.It was something else.Something unnatural.My pulse hammered against my ribs, my breath shallow as my fingers twitched at my sides. Every instinct screamed at me to run.But I couldn’t.Lena was frozen beside me, her breathing sharp, barely audible. I knew she felt it too—the wrongness.The thing in the shadows took a step forward, and the weight in the air doubled. My muscles tensed, like something unseen was pressing down on me, pinning me in place.“What the hell is that?” Lena whispered, her voice tight.I didn’t answer.I couldn’t.Because , I felt like prey. And that thing is my predator.The creature—whatever it was—didn’t fully emerge. It lingered in the darkness, just out of reach of the moonlight filtering through the trees. But I c
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Nineteen
Raine POVThe night air was thick with the scent of damp earth and pine as Lena and I slipped through the trees, our footsteps barely making a sound against the forest floor.It had been a battle just to get out of the house unnoticed. Brielle had been lurking in every damn corner, watching me like a hawk, waiting for me to slip up. But I hadn’t. I knew how to move quietly. How to disappear when I needed to.And now, here we were—back in the woods where the attack had happened.Where I had been the night before.A shiver crawled down my spine.Lena moved beside me, her sharp gaze scanning the darkness. “Alright,” she whispered. “We find clues, figure out what the hell happened, and then get the hell out of here before anyone realizes we’re gone.”I nodded, but my stomach churned uneasily. This wasn’t just about figuring out what attacked the town.This was about what had happened to me.The strange pull. The way my body had felt... different.But I wasn’t ready to say that out loud. N
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Eighteen
Raine povThe walk home with Lena was quieter than usual. The weight of the morning’s events still pressed heavily on my chest—the announcement of the attack, the unease that had settled over the town, and the way Ronan had watched me like ….I didn’t want to think about him, though. I didn’t want to think about how his presence haunted my every step or how his heated gaze left something unfamiliar curling inside me.Instead, I focused on something else. Something darker.The thing that had attacked the town. And the fact that I had been right there when it happened."Okay," Lena finally said, breaking the silence. "We need a plan."I glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. "A plan?""Yes," she said firmly, tucking a loose strand of dark hair behind her ear. "Something attacked the town last night. We both know it wasn’t a rogue. And you—" she turned, jabbing a finger at me, "—were in those woods when it happened. If we don’t figure this out now, we’ll be stuck waiting for something wors
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Seventeen
Ronan’s POVSleep didn’t come easily last night.Not when my wolf was restless, pacing inside me, growling in frustration. He wanted to be near her. He wanted to protect her. And no matter how much I tried to shove him down, to fight the pull, I found myself outside before the sun had even fully risen.Watching.Waiting.Her house stood quiet, the sky still dusted with the last traces of night. A single light flickered on from inside, and a moment later, I caught the faint sound of movement.She was awake.My wolf let out a satisfied rumble, but I ignored him, staying in the shadows as I waited. The front door finally opened, and Raine stepped out, shoulders tense, moving cautiously. She kept her head down, her eyes scanning the street as if she expected something to jump out at her.She should be afraid.Something had been out there last night. And if I hadn’t been so—stupid, I could’ve—I clenched my fists, pushing the thought away.Instead, I stayed out of sight, my steps silent as
The Outcast's Rejection Chapter Sixteen
Raine povSleep had been a lost cause. Every time I drifted off, flashes of last night came back—shadows stretching between the trees, the low growl that curled around my spine.I woke up tangled in my sheets, the early light creeping through my window. My limbs were stiff, heavy with exhaustion, but I forced myself up. Staying in bed meant risking my mother barging in, and after last night’s argument, I wasn’t in the mood for another round of her bickering.Moving quietly, I slipped out of my room, careful to avoid the floorboards that creaked. The house was silent, my mother and sister still asleep. By the time I stepped outside, the cold morning air helped shake off the last remnants of my restless night. But something else clung to me—a strange, lingering awareness I couldn’t shake.Halfway to school, I felt itA Presence That Should Terrify Me—But Doesn't.A prickle at the back of my neck. The heavy weight of a stare pressing between my shoulder blades.I didn’t turn around.My
