All Chapters of The Howl of Rejection: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Renato immediately bowed his head out of respect and fear for my mate. I was surprised to see him so weak. "Of course. I'm sorry."I was proud of Erix for taking control and standing up for me. He is exactly what a mate should be, and I was lucky to have him; I squeezed his hand into mine.When Renato raised his head again, I felt confident to continue. "Do you know why our pack is so strong? It's because we don't keep secrets from each other. They make us weak. We believe in total disclosure. You're a pack once you come together and work towards the same goal. If your pack finds out what you've done, you'll lose their respect among them, and I assume that's not something you can afford. You need unity."Renato's lips formed a thin line. "I'm aware of my mistakes. If I had known the threats would have progressed this far, I would have done things differently. They're coming for us.""What pack is making threats?" Erix asked. "The Blood pack. Are you familiar with it?" Erix tensed

I shook my head and stepped a little closer to him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Isabelle. Is she-" I cut off, not knowing how to continue. How does one ask about the person your mate left you for? Killian didn't speak for a long moment, and for a second, I doubted he would. When he finally did, it sounded bitter… angry. "Is that why you're here? To offer me your pity? If it is, you can save it. I don't want or need it." Killian didn't keep the harshness out of his words. His tone wounded me a little, to my surprise. I wasn't used to this side of Killian. He was usually calm and composed even when he was Alpha. He never snapped at anyone, even me. It was clear that he was dealing with something much deeper now. He had a certain darkness about him that radiated through the air, and I could feel it. It worried and scared me all at the same time. Maybe it was a bad idea to come here after all. "You're worried," he said. "You don't trust me?" Though what he said was supp

"She's quite a fireball," Rijel said, his jaws set in amusement. "We could use her." Use me? No. Never. "You'd have to kill me first." I made my voice as low and dangerous as I could manage. They both laughed at me as if I had told them a joke."That's unnecessary, Bella," Rijel said before touching my cheek."Don't touch me!" I screamed at him, stepping away from him, but Rijel seemed he didn't mind it. "We have other ways to make you cooperate with us," Rijel added. "Us? So what, you're a team now?"Rijel turned to Killian and smiled. "You didn't tell her? Well, this is amusing," Rijel said, looking at me with his arms crossed his chest. To say that this man is hot is to be underestimated. He is freaking handsome. He was too young to be the Alpha of a ruthless pack. When I met him at the diner, he was charming and jolly. My coworkers' eyes were glued on him all while he was inside. He is a wolf in sheep's skin. "What exactly do you want with me?" I asked impatiently. "I'm su

After handing Topaz the cup, I got up and walked to the table where the food sat. It smelled delicious, and my stomach growled at the scent. She laughed again. "Go ahead, eat. I can get more if you're still hungry. I nodded, and without hesitation, I sat down and dug in. How long has it been here unconsciously?Many questions circled my mind, and as I scarfed down the food. The soup was hot and burned my mouth, but I didn't. Next, I moved on to the chicken and vegetable wraps and moaned. It was so good. "We eat a steady diet here," she explained. "We are careful in our calorie intake and exercise daily in human and wolf form. We want you and everyone else in your best possible shape. You will be stronger and increase your stamina. That will pay off when you're fighting. You'll get training too if you prove yourself worthy-""No, she doesn't need those training, Topaz," a familiar voice intervened, and when I turned my head to the person who was talking, my eyes widened when I saw R

The man screamed again in a pained bloodcurdling scream. It just kept getting louder and louder, and I knew I couldn't stand there watching the invinsible torture inside the man's body. I needed to leave, getaway, so I couldn't hear it anymore. "Take me away from here," I told Killian. "I can't stand it." Thankfully he didn't make me wait to see the man's death sentence carried and gently escorted me back to my cell. Surprisingly, I didn't hear the man's screams once I returned. Did that mean it was over? Did they finally kill him? I wished so badly for peace to the man and hoped he found it somehow. I can't believe what they are doing here. They were forcing loyalties. I remained standing when the cell door shut behind us, as did Killian. This time, he didn't come so close to me. He kept his distance, and for that, I was grateful. "If you plan to escape, Rain, you must think twice. You saw what happened to the man, so I suggest you be good and not bring your Luna attitude here
