All Chapters of The Howl of Rejection: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Erix's breathing was heaving, his chest moving rapidly against my back. I turned in his arms to face him. I gasped when his dark, almost black eyes stared back at me. "It took you long enough to come here," he said, eerily calm for his breathing. "I stopped to talk to Wyatt at the door. What's wrong?"He released one of his arms around me and reached out to close the door, giving us privacy, then wrapped it tightly around me again. I backed up from our closeness and gazed into the dark depths as he watched me with. "I had to go to the community today," I told him. "With Yelan.""I sent Wyatt to do it instead of you," he replied. Erix pulled me back into him and tightened his grip around my waist, nearly cutting off my air. He buried his nose in my hair and deeply inhaled my scent. He didn't move for minutes, making the time in his arms seem longer than it really was. Not that I minded, but his action had me worried. He was acting beyond strange. When Erix finally released me, I c

I woke up with a stirring that was unfamiliar to me. My chest was heaving from heavy breaths, and my body drenched in sweat. I sat up in bed quickly, trying to regain my breath. The room was dark, but I could still see somewhat with my werewolf sight. I reached for the lamp on the nightstand and switched it on. With my arm, I wiped away the sweat residue that had formed on my head and looked at the body rising and falling soundly beside me. Erix seemed completely at rest while my mind was still reeling from my dream. It was so vivid I could recall every touch and tingle on my body. Erix's hot breath on my skin, the little love bites. My thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks. Even in my just awoken state, I still yearned for him. I began to panic. I knew I needed to escape him before something bad happened, and I could never take it back. I mentally wasn't ready to mate with my mate, but my body was saying something completely different. I was in turmoil with myself. I force myself

"Patience," Erix murmured. I didn't have the patience. What I have is a fever like no other and an uncomfortable knot in my stomach that feels almost painful. I want more. I wanted more than what he was giving me. I need more. "Erix! Please...please," I nearly screamed when I suddenly felt his finger at my entrance, smoothing circles around my core. Erix hummed and kept kissing me. I bite my tongue not to let out a loud cry. I had never known pleasures like this before. And when I felt him push one finger inside me, my back arched, and a garbled cry escaped my lips. I clenched around him and squeezed my eyes shut. "Relax, baby," Erix softly said. "It will feel better if you relax."I felt discomfort down there, so I couldn't imagine it could be better than this, but I trusted Erix and followed his advice. Taking a deep breath, I unclenched my inner walls around him and spread out on the bed. He moved his fingers deeper, testing something I didn't know. "Erix," I cried. "F-feels s

I was gasping for breath when I finally hailed down to earth again, feeling more spent again. I found Erix looking at me with that same intense look in his eyes, only this time, his wolf took over as he watched me. His canine teeth glint from the corner of his mouth. "So beautiful," he uttered, leaning and pressing a kiss to the corner of my lips. He was still gently moving inside me, his pace much slower than before. "I love you, Erix," I told him.Erix glanced down at my face as if studying me and my words. It took a few seconds before he smiled at me. I don't know if he believed me, but I loved him and was going to prove that to him. Shamelessly, I wrapped my legs around him, rolled us, and was on top. Erix looked surprised, blinking at me. "Rain—""No, it's my turn now," I said, placing my hand over his mouth and shutting him up. Lucky for me, he didn't use his alpha tone to me otherwise, I'll be stopping for I could even begin. When Erix closed his mouth and kissed it, I plan

Erix was not in the office when I arrived at the house, which sent me straight to our room. When I reached my destination, the door was closed, but I opened it and stepped inside. Our luggage was still on the floor next to the bed where we had left it earlier, so it was clear no one had yet to remove them. I looked up just as the bathroom door opened to reveal a half-naked Erix and blushed at his state. "You sent for me?" I asked "Yes," he answered as he reached the closet. "I wanted to see you. My wolf is upset.""What's wrong?""The she-wolf attacked me," he said. I began to panic and grew concerned. My eyes roamed over Erix to examine his body for bodily harm. From what I could see, no marking on his body indicated a scuffle, but that still didn't put my mind at ease. "I already healed," he said. "She got me good, but I'm alright. I'm an alpha. She was pretty strong. She has strength on her side. She seems to be more than just a she-wolf," I could hear the interest in her in h
