Howl of the rejected Culture
As Cade and his pack journeyed through the dense woods, Kelvin sensed a weight upon Gaia's shoulders. Concern etched his features as he reached for her hand, drawing her attention away from the tumultuous thoughts swirling in her mind."What's troubling you, Gaia?" Kelvin's voice was gentle, his touch a comforting anchor amidst the chaos of their mission.Gaia attempted to mask her inner turmoil with a forced smile, but Kelvin saw through her facade. His keen perception cut through her defenses, prompting her to exhale heavily before speaking."It's nothing, really. Just... the usual family drama," Gaia replied, her voice strained with the weight of unspoken worries.Kelvin shook his head in disbelief, refusing to accept her dismissive response. "Gaia, I know when something's bothering you. You're not alone in this; you can tell me," he urged, his concern evident in his earnest gaze.With a defeated sigh, Gaia relented, her facade crumbling under Kelvin's persistent gaze. "It's my mo

29: Still no sign.Alpha Cade led his members through the woods, dividing them into several groups to search for Zyra. He could see everyone putting in their best effort, but his eyes kept scanning for Aria. He had no idea where she was, which group she was with, or if she had even joined them for the mission.“If you don’t stop making that face, everyone is going to suspect something is wrong with you, brother,” Gaia said from behind him. Cade turned slightly to look at her before rolling his eyes.“Who would notice? And how could they?” he laughed lowly, trying to brush off her concern. Gaia clicked her tongue in annoyance.“Okay, Kelvin asked me what’s going on between you and Aria,” she replied. Cade froze and turned to her, his expression serious.“Kelvin? What did you tell him?” he asked urgently.“What I know, of course. He’s my mate, I told him everything,” she replied with a smirk, though she was lying. Cade’s eyes widened, and he grabbed her arm.“Why did you do that?” he w
Howl of the rejected the search
It had been hours, and Alpha Cade, along with a few of his pack members, was still searching for Zyra, but there was no trace of her. He noticed the tired expressions on their faces and decided to gather them around. Aria was still nowhere to be seen, so he concluded that she hadn't joined them for the search."You'll see her back at home then," Gaia said from behind him. Cade rolled his eyes inwardly.His members assembled around him, and he began to speak, "I know you all must be exhausted by now. It's already night, and we haven't been able to find her...""What if she's dead?" a member asked. Cade scratched the back of his neck and shrugged."Well, that would be an entirely different story. Should I just tell Mom she's gone?" he asked his sister beside him. Gaia shrugged."We can try, but I doubt she would believe it," she replied, and he clicked his tongue."Yeah, right..." he rolled his eyes before turning his attention back to his pack members. Looking at their faces, he could
Howl of the rejected The pursuit of Zyra
It’s the last day for Alpha Cade to bring Zyra home and still, there was no sign of her. Another morning, his pack members had set out for the day to find her again. His sister, Gaia led the way while he stayed behind with Aria next to him, “You’ve been ignoring?” he asked her lowly and she shook her head“Why should I? I am just being conscious; I wouldn’t want you to pounce on me again.” She replied him as she kicked a small stone on the ground and Cade nodded his head.“Yeah, I get you but you don’t have to sound like that… you know I was drunk that night.” He replied her“Alpha, Let’s forget it. It is past already, now we are looking for Zyra.” She said to him with a small fake smile.“Are you sure about that?” he asked and she clicked her tongue.“Why not?” she replied before walking ahead of him. At Alpha Marcus pack mansion,Kieran, the delta of the pack, stood outside, the cool night air whispering through the trees. Beside him was Se
Howl of the rejected Tension and training
Kieran stood at the edge of the porch, watching Seraphina's figure disappear into the distance. He sighed, then turned and walked back into the mansion, heading towards his study. The room was filled with books, maps, and various weapons mounted on the walls—a testament to his role as Delta of the pack.He sat down at his desk and pulled out a piece of parchment, dipping his quill into the ink pot. He began to write, his handwriting precise and bold:---*Alpha Marcus,**Your message has been received. We stand ready to support you in ensuring Zyra’s safety. Our pack members will be prepared to accompany you to the birthday ceremony tomorrow. We understand the importance of this mission and are committed to its success. Can’t wait to see the reaction of them losers**Until then,***Kieran**---Satisfied with his letter, Kieran folded the parchment neatly and sealed it with the pack’s emblem. He walked over to the cage on his desk, where a sleek black bird sat perched, its intelligent
Howl of the rejected Culinary Chemistry
As Seraphina pulled away, she turned to look at him with a smirk. “You mean you and I should do the cooking?” Kieran asked her with a laugh, and she nodded her head enthusiastically.“There are maids for it though…”“Yeah, can’t you cook?” she asked, raising an eyebrow playfully.Kieran laughed heartily, shaking his head. “You know I wish I could, but I suck at it. I can barely make a sandwich without burning it,” he admitted, a sheepish grin on his face.Seraphina stood up, brushing off the grass from her clothes. “Well, that’s a shame,” she said with a teasing glint in her eyes. “But don't worry, I'll be with you to coach you through it. Let's get moving before I end up flat on my face,” she laughed, stretching out her hand to him.Kieran took her hand and allowed her to help him up from the grass. “Hmmm… okay,” he replied, still chuckling. He fell into step beside her as they began to stroll back to the mansion.“You know, you suck at cooking, and I suck at archery, but now I’m be
Howl of the rejected Shared moments
Kieran and Seraphina carried their freshly cooked pasta from the kitchen to the dining room, the warm aroma of their meal filling the air. The dining room, usually bustling with pack members, was quieter now, but a few people were still around, passing through or chatting in small groups.As they set the table and took their seats, Elara and Ryan, two pack members, walked by and noticed them. Elara raised an eyebrow, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.“Hey, who cooked? The maids?” Elara asked, her tone light and teasing.Seraphina shook her head, a proud smile spreading across her face. “Nope, we did! Kieran and I made this,” she said, gesturing to the plates of pasta.Ryan's eyes widened in surprise, and he exchanged a glance with Elara. “Seriously? You two cooked this?” he asked, clearly impressed.“Yep, it was a team effort,” Kieran added with a grin, feeling a sense of pride swell within him.Elara and Ryan shared a look before nodding and taking seats at the table. “Well, we have t
Howl of the rejected Raven's claw
Back at Alpha Cade’s mansion, Cade was deeply frustrated. His pack had spent hours searching for Zyra, but there was no trace of her. The exhausted and disheartened looks on his pack members' faces mirrored his own feelings. Today was the last day they had to find Zyra, and as night drew nearer, his pack members' hunger became more evident.“We've run out of food and snacks, Alpha. What do we do now?” one of them asked, breaking the tense silence. Cade stared at him, feeling the weight of their collective frustration.“Are you seriously asking me this right now? I’m as confused as hell. I have no idea where that girl took her little legs to,” Cade replied, running his hand through his hair in frustration. His voice carried the weight of his desperation.Gaia, his sister, sighed and stepped forward. “You all should go home then. It’s clear that we can’t find her today,” she said, her voice tinged with irritation at seeing her brother so distressed.“Really? Home again?” Cade asked, his
