The Howl of Rejection Chapter 36: Crush
Erix didn't seem bothered by the fact that he was practically naked before me, and I don't know why. The two explanations I could come up with are maybe he used to be like this because this is his room. He probably didn't mind if someone walked in. Or he used to come here in his wolf form, and when he shifts, he's naked, not minding it. Thankfully, I had yet to do that before anyone, but I knew it couldn't be avoided forever. When I was sure it was safe to get up, I looked at a fully dressed Erix. He looked hot. I mean, yeah, he is hot. He's hotter than Killian. Period. That's it. I couldn't deny that. It would be a lie to say otherwise. "Dinner is almost ready. The pack members are waiting for us downstairs," he said. "Okay, I'll clean up quickly and meet you down there," I replied before taking off my ponytail. I don't know if it was just me, but I saw Erix's eyes flash something when I looked at him after letting my long black hair down like a curtain. I know my hair is healthy
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 37: The dream
Somewhere in my mind, I knew it was merely a dream, but I couldn't find my way back to reality. I was lost in my mind, with no one to bring me out of my suffering. "He rejects us!" my wolf whispered. "Our mate chose another mate over us." My wolf whimpered at the new realization. And I wished for anything I could to console her, But I was just as broken as her. I felt weak and sick. I had to grab the table to keep my balance. Killian became concerned but didn't move to help me. "He married Isabelle behind our back! He lied to us!" My wolf screamed and showed how broken she was. "Without him, we are nothing, Rain. Let's end our suffering; let's end it right now! "Rain."No. Killian left me! He left me for another mate. I grabbed my chest. I-I… just…I can't. It hurts so much!"Rain!" Someone was shaking me vigorously. Leave me alone! You left me. You broke me! Just go!"Rain, you have to wake up. It's just a dream," I felt disoriented. Who was talking? Where was that voice com
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 38: The effect of the dream
My now-shifted wolf body sprinted as fast as it could. Within seconds, I could hear hundreds of feet running toward me. I know they were Erix's warriors. They must have sensed the presence of a rogue that invaded their territory. I wasn't marked yet, so they weren't aware of my scent. I could hear growls from a distance, but my wolf seemed like it didn't bother to stop and submit. She continued running like she wanted to go somewhere. "Where are we going?" I asked her, panicking. "To the place where we can end this once and for all," she replied. When I heard this, I realized she wanted to kill us, just like I did months ago after the rejection. Unlike me, my wolf suffers a lot. She was the most affected when the bond between Killian and I was severed. "No, no! This is just a dream. Please wake up!"My wolf didn't listen to me. Instead, she continued running without any plans of slowing down despite being chased by warriors. My wolf stopped when we reached a cliff. "Don't think
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 39: Soul intertwining
My eyes shifted to Erix who was standing above me with a grave expression on his face. He only looked at me briefly before making eye contact with Lucas. "It's the dream," he answered. Recognition passed through Lucas. He looked back at me with sympathy. "So that's it," he mumbled. "Can you give her something for it?" Erix asked though he already told me before, there was only one thing that could help me. The doctor looked despondent and sighed. "I'm afraid not. I can prescribe some strong sleeping pills but due to our body running warmer than normal, it would burn off before the night is over.""Then what do you suggest?" I asked hoping he had another solution. "Well, it's not going to completely cure you of your dreams, but it will keep the pain out of them. They won't be able to get to you anymore.""The claim," I said, already knowing what he would say. Lucas nodded. "Yes, the claim." "You helped Erix with this didn't you?" I asked him. He gave me a sympathetic look befor
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 40: Roaming around
It was nearly six in the morning when Erix turned the lamp off by the bed, letting the natural light from daybreak slip between the curtains. He was about to go back to this bed when I caught his hand. He seemed surprised by my gesture. "Can you stay by my side until I fall asleep, Please?" I asked him. "Maybe you can keep the dream away." I needed him, but I didn't like how weak I sounded when I asked him to stay. I hated to appear weak. I hated to rely on anyone. I was independent. That's how I have always been. It was what separated me from my pack. No one was like me in that way. However, right here and right now, I couldn't have been vulnerable since the day I was rejected.The surprise on his face never wears off but nods his head. "I'll stay."I couldn't be relieved when he agreed. He rounded the other side of the bed and got in next to me. His arm gently draped over my side as we faced each other. Sleep finally made its way over me again before the morning finally settled i
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 41: In another's pack Land
With my shoes in my hand, I took off on an exploration. The dirt and grass under my feet felt good. I felt close to nature. My wolf would have loved it. If I let her, she would spend hours getting lost in the woods just for enjoyment. I'll have to remember to let her do that sometimes, provided I have the chance. It was starting to get dark. The sky was twilight, so my human eye could still see the forest before me. At some point, I wandered off the trail. I'm not sure when but now I was just walking around aimlessly through the thick greenery and trees of the woods. I was lost; I knew that much but wasn't scared. I had been lost in the woods dozens of times as a kid, so I was used to this. I always managed to find my way out somehow, though. I'll just have to do that again. It shouldn't be too hard. I continued to hike around a little longer, searching for the path that would lead me back to the house, when I heard twigs snapping a few meters away. I immediately snapped toward the
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 42: Unmarked She-wolf is Rare
Five wolves were waiting there for me when we got to our pack borders, and Erix was not among them. A few lights on posts scattered around close by helped my human eyes to see at night, and I was thankful for that. I hadn't held onto all of my superhuman senses with the current state of my wolf, my night vision being one of them. It was considerably weakened. The Alpha, whom I had met in the woods, was in his wolf form a few feet before me. It seemed the pack members knew him as they bowed their heads in acknowledgment. Jude was the first to speak. "Quintin," he said politely, watching the wolf. His eyes then moved to mine. He looked worried and a little upset. It mirrored the rest of the wolves' faces. This was nothing like the laid-back, teasing Jude from the last night. He was serious and concerned now. I felt bad I had caused all of this. Guilt was eating away at me. They probably looked for me all night if I hadn't shown back up. Quintin shifted up into his human form aga
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 43: A care free conversations
The week spent in bed was the slowest I had ever endured. It felt like a month rather than a week, and I owe that to all my suffering. No one said it would be quick and easy. "You missed dinner with the pack, so I'll make you something you'd like."I smirked at him, finally able to loosen up a little now. "I'm in the mood to eat seafood right now. Can you make one?" I asked him. I have been craving those foods rather than meat. I know seafood is out of the menu in his pack. I feel like I want to play a bit with him and see if he'll do something. He didn't smile at first until he noticed a smile on my face. "Okay then, we'll go out."I shook my head. It was just a joke. "That's alright; it's already late now. I'll find something in the kitchen to munch on." He was already grabbing his keys off the desk and headed to the door, not even listening to me. Clearly, he had already made up his mind, and there was no change. "I missed it too, and I want to eat something different. I'm h
