The Rejected Cursed Wolf 17
Miles, Lucas, and I are getting out here, I linked with everyone as I opened my door. Time was of the essence, and I was going to save my family.I hopped out and slammed the door as Miles and Lucas followed suit. I ran off the gravel road toward the trees, and my wolf brushed my mind. She didn’t hesitate, surging forward as my skin tingled, and I ran between two firs and up the incline that would take me toward the river.Light-blonde fur sprouted across my body, the same shade as my hair, and my clothes ripped away and my spine cracked, causing me to drop to all fours. I ran awkwardly for a few steps until I was completely in wolf form.With my senses heightened, my vision was crisper in the darkness and my sense of smell was so much better. I could hear the sound of a goat running two miles away in the canyon. I ran fast—but a little slower than I normally would so Lucas and Miles could keep up with me. They didn’t know the area as well as I did.They flanked me, and the three of u

Snarling, the graphite wolf steadied himself and faced me, chest heaving. Dad’s blood covered his snout.There aren’t any witches, Samuel answered.Hot rage blasted through me, and something inside me snapped. Power rolled through my body, my magic sizzled, and I moved faster than ever before. I slammed into the enemy wolf, who flew backward into the nearest larch tree. His body thudded into it, his head cracking against the trunk, and he crumpled to the ground. I waited to make sure he didn’t get up.When he didn’t move, I hurried to Dad, making sure to face the fighting so no one could attack my back.Blood poured from Dad’s neck, and his eyes were wide. He tried to use his paws to put pressure on his neck, but they weren’t like hands. Hell, even if they had been hands, they wouldn’t have done any good.How bad is it? Dad linked as he kept trying to apply pressure to the wound.This would have been a good fucking time to be able to lie, but the stench would give me away. Not good. I

I tugged at the connection of the Oxford wolves closest to me. I wasn’t sure who was in the house, which belonged to Trevor, Charles’s father, so I linked with everyone. Whoever is in Trevor’s house, there are five wolves and one shifter in human form coming in through the back. Everyone be on alert. This won’t be the only house they try this on.Miles, Lucas, and I increased our speed. Each time my front paws hit the ground, my shoulder ached, but the pain was easing, indicating that the injury had begun healing.Zeke, Trevor, Jack, and I are in here, Jasmine linked. We had Zeke tied up, but we let him go to help us, so he and Trevor are firing the guns to hold off the wolves outside.I hated that Zeke was involved, but the damage was done, and he and Trevor were the best shots in the pack.It’d be up to Jack and Jasmine to take down the six intruders without risking the twenty out front, forcing their way in. I wondered why the hell so few of them were in the house. It would’ve been

Zeke and Trevor were still shooting from the window, not paying attention to what was going on behind them. I jogged over to Zeke and grabbed bullets from the floor next to him.I held out my hand. “Give me your gun.”His head jerked toward me, and his eyes bulged. “Go put on clothes and let the men handle this.”Even though I was his queen, he still disregarded me, and I had to put an end to it. I allowed alpha will to creep into my voice. “Give me the gun. I won’t ask again. You shot Jack. You can’t be trusted with a firearm. Now, stay put and only do what I or the royal advisors tell you to.”Jaw tensing, he snarled as his wolf forced him to hand me the gun. The cool metal felt foreign in my hands, but I had to trust I could do enough damage with the weapon. I’d seen Dad load his gun often, so I added more bullets as I moved to the front door.Callie, what the hell are you doing? Miles growled.Protecting my people. I opened the door, raised the gun, and stepped outside. I fired ro

I inhaled sharply, bracing for the pain, but when my body hit the lawn of the front yard two houses down from Trevor’s, it hardly jarred me.Maybe I hadn’t been as high in the air as I’d thought.I spun around, snarling at the red car, ready to attack. Yes, the witches had magic, but I wouldn’t lie down and take a beating. It wasn’t ingrained in me. If it had been, I would’ve given up years ago.Four more MINI Cooper electric cars followed the first. I blinked. I’d never seen so many electric cars together in one place.The passenger door of the front car opened, and a young witch close to my age stepped out and threw her hands toward me. “Blast them out of the way,” she chanted.I dug my paws into the grass, racing toward her. The blast would hit me before I could reach her, but at least I’d be closer to her once I came around, hopefully. I braced myself, waiting for the pain, but a flash of wind breezed past me.A yelp from beside me caught my attention, and I glanced over to see an

My heart skipped a beat. Even when he was far away and kidnapped by my nemesis, he had a way of making me feel completely loved. I love you. I didn’t know how else to convey everything inside me. He was the lyrics to the perfect song, one I would never tire of listening to.Samuel linked, Callie? Is everything okay? The witches and I are outside waiting, and we’re starting to worry.I exhaled, not wanting my time with Bodey to end. But I needed to get out there. I connected with Bodey, I’ve gotta go talk to the witches.Okay. I’m tired anyway, Bodey replied. I’ll try to get some sleep on this wet, cold floor.My chest throbbed. I love you, and I will get you out of there. That was one promise I was damn sure going to keep.Focus on keeping yourself safe. Losing you is the one thing I could never endure.As I walked through the living room to the front door, the house seemed eerie, like Dad’s essence was lingering. The sense of loss was overwhelming. The reality that I’d never again se

Three hours later, we were honoring the five fallen in the graveyard a mile away from the pack neighborhood. The witches had spelled the perimeter and healed Jack while Theo, Miles, Lucas, Samuel, and I, along with the families of the dead, had dug the graves. The former advisors had offered to help, but I’d sent them to check on everyone, hoping our assistance would help eliminate the distrust between this pack and the rest of the advisors.Stella had driven Stevie here, and once they arrived, it was time to bury the dead.Tears fell down Pearl’s cheeks while Mom completely broke down, and Stevie clung to Jack. I was damn thankful that Stevie had found her mate, even if they hadn’t completed their bond.When Zeke had tried to lead the memorial, Theo had shut him down. I’d thought I might have to intervene, but when Zeke saw me step toward him, he backed off. I assumed he didn’t want everyone to see me alpha-will him.I stayed strong until it came time to cover the dead, and then some

A deep groan came through the phone, the sound completely Bodey. “Like hell she will!”The queen laughed maniacally, and Jasmine winced beside me.“Aw, love. It’s so stupid.” The queen huffed. “I tried to warn you, Callie—er, Caroline.” She snickered at her mistake. “I told you it’s best if you cut your losses with your mate. Loving people is a weakness. Even against my better judgment, I tried to help you prepare for this day… but you didn’t listen.”Jack’s nostrils flared, and he took a few steps toward me. Miles and Lucas grabbed his shoulders, holding him back.What the fuck? Jack linked.Losing your cool won’t help. Miles squeezed his hand tighter. Let Callie handle it.Lucas nodded. Queen Kel doesn’t give a shit about you and your threats. You’ll only make things worse for Callie and Bodey.We were all on edge, which I assumed was the point.Pain blasted again, and my breath caught as Bodey whimpered. A sob lodged in my throat, and I tried to swallow it, but a faint yelp escaped
