Waiting for you: Howling Hearts 2 That Which Stings
Xanders PovI sat in one of the many pack meeting rooms, waiting for Amanda to show up.No surprise—she was already twenty minutes late, and there was no sign of her anywhere in the pack house. Her scent wasn’t even nearby.I sipped my coffee, scrolling idly through engagement ring ideas as I waited for her to eventually make an appearance. Amanda was never punctual, but I knew she’d show up, eventually.She thrived on making people wait for her, like it gave her some kind of power.As I scrolled through the options, I couldn’t find anything that felt right for Dawn. I wanted something elegant and timeless, but not bulky. Dawn wouldn’t like a massive stone or a thick band. She preferred smaller, delicate jewelry. The kind that enhanced her beauty without drawing unnecessary attention. She never enjoyed having too many eyes on her.I lingered on a design featuring an opal stone. It reminded me of the Moon Goddess’s gift.The beautiful, irreplaceable bond I’d been blessed with. My true

The drive was silent.The tension was thick in the air.My mother’s gaze kept flicking toward me from the driver’s seat. Her silent judgment burning into my skin now and then. Finally, she broke the silence. Her graceful demeanor falling away as her tone turned sharp.“What were you doing there?” she asked harshly.I didn’t hesitate to counter. “I could ask you the same, Mom.”Her knuckles tightened on the steering wheel as she glared at me briefly. “I was there for a meeting with the highest-ranking council members,” she said pointedly. her eyes darting back to the road. Then she turned to me. her expression demanding an answer.“I was in a meeting too,” I said coldly, unwilling to back down.Her jaw tightened, and I could sense she already knew exactly why I was there. She just wanted to hear it from me.“Goddess, you’re just like your father,” she muttered, frustration bleeding into her voice. “No wonder you need a Luna.”I clenched my fists at her words, anger bubbling beneath my

The morning started like any other—with me walking Dawn to school. She strolled beside me, while Amanda trailed a few feet behind us.I could feel Amanda’s glare drilling into the back of Dawn’s head, as though sheer spite could tear her apart.A few times, Dawn glanced back at her, shooting glares of her own. The tension between them had become a silent war. One that simmered just beneath the surface.It grew hotter every day, and though Amanda’s attitude infuriated me, I couldn’t help but admire Dawn’s strength. She had grown stronger and more confident.Leaning closer to her, I whispered, “Ignore her. She’s just jealous.”“Of what?” Dawn asked. Turning those beautiful green eyes on me. There was a flicker of something in them. Hope maybe? But she tried to hide it.I couldn’t stop the soft chuckle that slipped out.“Us,” I said simply. Meeting her gaze.The weight of that one word hung in the air between us. Her cheeks flushed that perfect shade of pink, and she quickly looked away,

Days had passed since the incident in the clearing. And it had become clear that Dawn was avoiding me.I’d see her glancing my way before turning and disappearing into another hallway or ducking into a room.It frustrated me. I thought we were getting somewhere and yet all I’ve been getting was rejection after rejection. If it wasn’t for that vision, I would be sure she would have rejected me.Today was no different. I lingered near the bulletin board, pretending to study the schedule pinned there, but really, I was scanning the hall for her.And then, like the moon goddess, she heard me. She appeared, coming around the corner with a stack of books in her arms, her head down.“Dawn,” I started, but before the word fully left my mouth, she walked right into me, her face hitting my chest with a soft thud. Her books fell to the floor.“Dawn, are you okay?” I asked. Steadying her with my hands.Those sparks went dancing across my skin again, but I ignored them.Focusing instead on the wid

The morning of my eighteenth birthday felt like a new beginning.My senses were sharper.Axel became more present, and my instincts honed.Yet, it all meant nothing in comparison to seeing dawn today. Smelling her. Especially now, since the bond between us had finally and completely snapped in place.As I stood in her living room, something hit me like a train. Like some invisible shield that knocked me off my feet. It was her scent.Wildflowers and summer rain. Sweet and utterly intoxicating, curling around my heart and taking root. It was everything I never knew I needed. Axel howled in recognition, pushing to the surface.Roaring mate. It took everything within me to not growl mate in front of her parents.For a moment, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak. My heart beat drummed in my ears, and it took every ounce of self-control to not run up the stairs and claim her as mine.“Wow, Miss Stormclaw,” I said to her mom. My voice strained as I struggled to stay composed. “Your house smel

I leaned against the gate outside the school, waiting for Dawn.My thoughts were racing, but I kept my expression neutral.I didn’t want to spook her. I could sense her anxiety from earlier, the way she hurried out of class like she couldn’t breathe.It was starting to make sense, all of it—the stolen glances, the nervous energy that seemed to build every time we were close. Axel stirred, knowing what was coming, but I stayed calm. I had to. For her.When she finally appeared, she looked up at the head of the trees, watching them sway through the light wind. She took a deep breath, calming the nerves that were eating her alive.I knew she hated the spotlight and this morning’s events made that spotlight unbearably bright and direct on her. It was all our peers could talk about.Her face looked beautiful as she calmed down, taking deep breaths as her eyes are closed. When she opened her eyes, she saw me and she smiled—just a small one. But enough to make my chest tighten. That smile co

The night breeze enveloped me as I walked away.I could feel Xander’s eyes on me, making my steps growing more difficult with each stride. My pulse quickened, mirroring the chaos of feelings within me.His words bore down on me, making it tough to breathe. I could still feel his touch, like some sort of ghost. How he held me like I was the only thing keeping him grounded.Yet now, I felt lost, drowning in a mix of uncertainty and broken trust. How did he know? Why did he hide this from me for so long? These questions spun in my head, persistent and unending.For years, I struggled with my emotions for him, sure I was the only one feeling confused. Then the mate bond started to form and the attraction I felt seemed impossible to explain.I was so sure it was some sort of curse or joke the moon goddess played on me. Knowing I would be rejected. And now, I learn he felt it too? But not only that he also knew the whole time?Way before I even knew. This discovery hurt more than I expected

Lilian and I clicked as friends quickly, in a way that seemed both surprising and effortless, as if we’d been pals for years instead of just days.From the second she said hello, her friendly vibe pulled me in, cutting through the haze of feelings I’d been stuck in.It began with small things.She stuck around after we shook hands talking about Dylan and how shocked she was that her brother had been hanging out with someone as “cool” as me.Those words made me laugh for real, my first genuine chuckle in days. Lilian wasn’t what I thought she’d be; she had a knack for making me laugh, embraced her quirks without shame, and showed such strong kindness that I found it tough to stay guarded.We grabbed lunch the next day, and within a week, it seemed like we’d known each other forever. She brought a lightness to my world, which often felt heavy.For the first time, I didn’t feel alone not just because I had company, but because someone wanted to get to know me.One afternoon, we sat under

Waiting for you: Howling Hearts 2 A Luna's Path
“I won’t be coming back to Silvermoon,” I said as we walked through the beautiful pack gardens.Xander, however, didn’t stop or even flinch at my words.“I expected it. Asher can’t be Alpha while living in a different pack. The Alpha family as a whole is very important, and even you have your own duties that you have to attend to here.It would make Asher look weak if you came back to Silver moon. But luckily for us that’s only until the mate ball,” he said.I stopped walking.He turned around to look at me.I wasn’t sure if I was ready to take my place beside Xander. I wasn’t sure if I could handle the watchful eyes of the pack. Their judgment, their expectations. I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to stand in the spotlight just yet.Xander grabbed my hand, holding it tightly between his.“I was hoping we could come out as destined mates there. It would work. It would make sense,” he said, trying to convince me.I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure if I wanted that.But the smile on
Waiting for you: Howling Hearts 2 Funerals and expectations
The following day, the funeral was held at dusk. As per tradition. The setting sun cast the land in hues of gold and crimson, making long shadows over the gathered mourners.The air was thick with the scent of burning sage and damp earth, the two combining into something that felt both grounding yet suffocating simultaneously.I stood at the edge of the clearing, my fingers clenched tightly around the small coin in my palm. It was cool to the touch; the metal pressing sharply into my skin as if trying to anchor me to the moment.My heart felt heavy, weighed down by grief so deep it threatened to crush me from the inside out. I hadn’t wanted to come. I hadn’t wanted to stand before his lifeless body and accept that he was really gone.But this was his final request. One I couldn’t ignore or pass over to someone else. No matter how much it tore me apart.The entire pack was here, dressed in black, their faces etched with sadness as they stood in respectful silence.Wolves from allied pa

“Are you sure that is all he said? You didn’t miss anything?” Xander asked, his voice laced with extreme worry. Each word carried the weight of something more, something unspoken.I had told him every word the vampire had said to me—except the part where he promised we would see each other again. I wasn’t even sure why I kept that part to myself. It just felt to ominous to share right now.“Yes, Xander. Like I said, he pretty much said nothing.” I shrugged, but deep down, my heart was still racing from the encounter.We walked in silence for a while, only the sound of the leaves and twigs crunching under our feet filling the void between us.The forest that once felt like home had now become unfamiliar as the wind rushed through the leaves reminding me gramps was gone.I could see the way Xander’s jaw tightened making it clear that his mind was working overtime. Something was gnawing at him and I needed to know what it was.“Why are you so worried?” I asked, glancing at him from the c
Waiting for you: Howling Hearts 2 The Encounter
When Asher entered the room, his face was full of sorrow.“We will be staying here from now on. This is your house now.”When he said that, it felt like I had been punched in the chest. It was as if the air in the room had all been sucked out.“What? You just decided this on my behalf?” I said in a small voice, my voice full of pain and anger. My voice cracking under the pressure.Riley’s eyes looked sad, but there was something else there too, something that looked like guilt.“It’s for the best, Dawn. You will learn to understand that with time. Asher has to take his position as the Alpha and we have to support him as Luna and alpha heir.”“But what about me?” I cried, my voice coming out in a high pitch. I felt like I was going to suffocate from the tension in my chest.“I don’t want to leave my pack! I want to be there! I can’t be here while Gramps is rotting in the ground, or even after that. Gramps created this place and I don’t want to be in it without him here! And he’s never

The days that followed blurred together into one never ending grief filled day. I stayed in my room, unable to face the pack without his presesnse lingering here somewhere. The world outside felt cold, foreign. Almost like a cruel joke that kept moving forward while I stood frozen in place. How could I walk through the packhouse, knowing he wouldn’t be there? Every step outside my door felt like a betrayal, like I was supposed to move on when I wasn’t ready.My mother and Asher handled everything—the funeral, the responsibilities left behind—but I couldn’t be part of it. I couldn’t sit in the mourning room beside his body. My mother, my grandmother, my father… they all wept, their grief filling the house like an unshakable fog. But I couldn’t. I wasn’t ready to see him like that—lifeless, cold. My grandfather had always been strong and wise, and seeing him reduced to this fragile, unmoving form would shatter me into a killion diffrent pieces.His will had one final request for me. One

Xander walked me home. We laughed and flirted the entire way home. I hated that the night had to end. I wished it could last an eternity without these moments turning to memories. I could live within them forever.“I still can’t believe I lost it,” I said as we got closer to my house.He stopped walking and a devilish handsome smirk spread across his face. He pulled my undies from his pocket and swung them in front of my face.“you mean these” embarrassment engulfed me, watching them sway in Xander’s hands in the open public. My cheeks turned a fiery red, and I tried to rip them out of his grip, which quickly let me know wasn’t going to happen.“Please, just put them away before someone sees it.” I begged, and that handsome chuckle escaped his lips, making me go wet all over again. I watched my favourite pair of undies slip into his pocket as his eyes never left me.“You can have them back next time,” he said with a big smirk on his face as he winked at me. Making those butterflies sw

Before I even knew it, I crashed my lips onto his. It was almost like Ashina had taken the wheel. Maybe it was both of us. But it didn’t matter.All that mattered right now was us. As the world vanished, leaving only Xander and me in the middle of this field. The Rush of emotions leading our way.His lips felt soft with a slight chill that could only be from the Cool night air. His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.His scent alone sending a jolt of sparks down my spine. The kiss only making it more intense. My hands instinctively cupped his cheek, making sure that this moment would never end.However, it seemed like Xander had other ideas as he broke the kiss. I searched his eyes, hoping that maybe, just maybe, I could find the answer to why with in them. Maybe I had ruined all our chances.Maybe I was moving on too quickly over our last fight. Maybe Xander still held a grudge over what happened. All these maybes infiltrated my mind like a military squad.Breaki
