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
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 47: Going out with Yelan and Lee
I was starting to feel that maybe I only knew the broken Erix instead of the Erix that he really was. I might just be surprised to find out his true side of him. But I am very curious to find it out. When my wolf comes back, I will be changing too. Every day I miss her more and more. Maybe Erix's wolf can bring her out again. After all, they say a wolf's claim can do many things. And I may be ready for it. "And this is my room," I told Lee, coming to the end of our tour. "Well, it will be when I fix up," I corrected. I pushed open the white door, flipped the lights to switch on, and looked around. It was less grand than Erix's room, but it was nice and would suit me perfectly. Everything was white and brown. Tomorrow, I'll have Erix take me into town and pick up some paint. It would look beautiful with lavender. And for my things such as my bed and stuff, I'll choose to blend them with black. I can envision the outcome of the room. "It's nice, I guess, for a girl's room," Lee sai
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 48: Starting to feel Something
"Yelan, this is my cousin, Lee," I said plainly.She held out her hand to him. "Nice to meet you." Lee kept his smirk in place while he accepted her hand and kissed it. "The pleasure's all mine."When he backed away and released it, she giggled again. She was obviously smitten with him. "Yelan and I are going out; wanna come along?" I asked him. Lee seemed to be in deep thought before he answered. "I'll go," he said "Alright. You two wait for me here. I have somewhere to go," I added, glaring at Lee, warning him if he makes a move at Yelan, I'll kick his ass off. Lee only smirked at me before I turned to go to Erix's office. Eirx was sitting in his office with Wyatt when I arrived. They were submerged in more paperwork and business deals. I would feel bad if I interrupted them. But I wouldn't also like to see Erix angry if I leave without telling him. It would be disrespectful, and I know he wouldn't like it. "Rain. What brings you here?" Erix asked me, smelling my scent, but
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 49: To be Claim
Once everything was loaded up in the SUV, Yelan and I had Max swing us to the mall for an hour so we could go shopping. I'm not really a fan of shopping, and I will only grab those things I see first. I'm not like the other women who spent hours upon hours looking for their clothes. I would rather spend my time at any bookstore. I did light shopping, but Yelan filled the SUV with bags of clothing. Jude looked at Yelan, but she only smiled at her. Nearing the time that Erix gave me to go home, Lee had taken it upon himself to choose our dining location, which also happened to be where the few guys from my pack were eating. They were the ones who were traveling with Lee when he left them to meet me. Jude and Max were not happy about this and considered calling Erix to tell them about it, but after some serious begging and convincing, they let me tell him instead after we went home. They didn't like to keep things from Erix, and I understand that. "You look good, Rain. Erix's pack lo
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 50: Wanted to be Claim
Erix's eyes stared at mine, still irritated. I sighed tiredly and ran my hand through my black hair. "Can we not dwell on that? Yes, I should have told you before I did it, but you can lecture me later. There are much bigger things to discuss right now. I've decided for us."Erix looked like he was about to come back with another retort until the last of my words caught him by surprise, and he closed his mouth. His serious expression morphed into one of curiosity."Continue."I took a deep breath. "I've decided to let you claim me.""You have?" he asked. "Yeah. I've decided I have to move on completely. And these dreams…I don't think I can handle them any longer. They're becoming too much for me, and they must be stopped. You were right; I do need you. We need each other. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to accept that completely."Erix's face held an interest in my words. "Why do you think that is?""I don't know," I shrugged. "I guess I just never liked to admit I needed help. I
The Howl of Rejection Chapter 51: Preparing for the Visitors
"Ruiz was friends with my parents, so he knows the anger I've held over this," Erix said. "Even though he was considerably younger than them, they were still close. He's been a great mentor to me. When I was lost and didn't know how to run a pack, he helped and showed me the ropes. He couldn't have been kinder. I owe him a lot for that.""How old is Alpha Ruiz?" I asked curiously. "Thirty-five. Ruiz is between mine and my parent's age.""And his mate? She's the same age as him?"Thirty-five was considerably older than me. I couldn't help but worry. I wouldn't have anything in common with them."Twenty- seven. Just a few older than you, but only a little. Ruiz met her four years ago. Just a year before my parents passed."I felt a little relieved at that. We'll have more in common, after all. Five years is pretty decent. However, she's had a lot more experience with Alpha Duties than I had. Maybe she'll give me pointers. Erix looked at the clock and then back to me. "Wyatt's waitin
