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
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 44: Unexpected Trespasser
I wasn't sure how much time had passed when we reached the pack house, but Erix shook me awake. I hadn't even realized that I had fallen asleep. I was more tired than I could ever be. I let out a small moan at my interrupted sleep and felt myself being lifted by a pair of arms. Without thinking, I snuggled into their chest and let the warmth flow. Their arms wrapped around me tighter, making me feel safe and protected. I felt the bed underneath me dip as I was laid down upon it. My soft pillow and mattress were now the source of my comfort, and Erix was no longer holding me. And his absence made me cold. I shivered, pulled the covers up under my chin, and covered my entire body. Without much effort, I slipped into unconsciousness and left my mind to rest while I slept. Like the previous night, the dreams came again, making me cry in pain. Only this time, they were a little different. Instead of rejection, I felt Killian marking Isabelle. It felt like a poison slowly working its way
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 45: The Laidback Lee
"Lee!"He looked like he might have been in a slight scuffle before being here. His clothes crumpled and even ripped in a few places. Some cut marks were already healing on his head and arms. I tore from Erix's arms and ran down towards him, but he caught my arms before I got two steps away and held an unsure expression on his face. "So it's true, he does know you?" Erix asked. "He is my cousin," I stated, removing my arms from his grasp, and this time Erix didn't stop me. Lee's arms reached through the bars and hugged me. I didn't fail to notice his look and sighed in relief as he released in my presence. "What are you doing here? Is everyone alright? Are you hurt? Who sent you?" The questions were tumbling from my mouth, one right after the other, before he could answer them. "We've been asking him that for the past hour and he wouldn't answer. He said he only wanted to talk to you. He claimed you knew each other," Wyatt interrupted. I nodded in reply, but I didn't face him.
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 46: He will be back
"Was this what you came for? To convince me to come back? If that was it, Erix is right; I won't be that easy."Lee shook his head. "No, it's not," he said. "When I learned that Killian rejected you and chose Isabelle, I lost my respect for him. Many of us didn't like what he did even though Isabelle was a Luna figure. The day when he announced that he banished you from the pack, I could no longer look at him as an Alpha. I couldn't stand back and watch him happy while you suffered. He's making Moonlight pack look pathetic, and I no longer wish to be part of that pack. I and a few others decided to leave. We were heading west to join the Blue moon pack. And then I decided to stop and see you." "How did you find me?" I asked. "I didn't make it known where I was going.""Brother Zander told me. He said you were safe here, but it might pay for me to stop and see you along the way. He wanted you to know about the pack. I know you're not part of it anymore, but I thought you would like t
