The Rejected Lone Wolf 50
BLOOMWith Grey at my front and Ray at my back, I took down rogue after rogue. My approach? As soon as they got close enough, I slit their necks with the knives in my hand. All the training with Ray wasn’t all for nothing. Those three days of hitting the punching bag, my aim had gotten better, and I was faster. The rest of the Pack were still fighting for their lives and I couldn’t let it continue that way. I needed to do something. “Bloom!”Even as I heard Grey and Ray’s voice screaming out my name, I didn’t stop running. Up the stairs, past the flames, I ran, until I got to my room. Pulling open my drawer, I dumped all the contents out on the floor and started searching with the purpose of finding one thing in particular. Then I saw it. Wolfsbane. I hadn’t told anybody about it, but after being nearly attacked that night, I found a way to start growing it in a hidden area of the garden. Now, it was going to be put to good use. I was going to light it up.I rushed out of the room

Grey's POV"I had some of the men follow me south to investigate the rogues' whereabouts, and it seems they went towards the mountains," he reported. I furrowed my brows in response."They headed for the mountains? What could be their purpose there?" I wondered aloud."I discovered this on the ground, likely dropped by one of the rogues," he said, placing a bull's horn on my desk."Do you think we can extract any information from it?" I asked, gazing at the bull's horn with curiosity."Upon closer examination, you'll notice there are symbols inscribed on it. During the battle, I observed similar symbols on the other rogues' necks. Could it hold some significance?""Perhaps they wear this as a symbol, a means of recognition among themselves," I suggested. Over the years, I have encountered numerous rogues, starting when I was just five, and they always had some identifying mark to establish their affiliation."I see. If that's the case, we could potentially use it to track down their c

BLOOM’SDays after the rogue attack, repairs had begun in the Pack, and I couldn’t wait to see the outcome when it was finally done. The members of the Pack along with Grey were working hard to ensure safety. Security was tightened, and the guards patrolled the entire area more frequently. We’d lost quite a few Pack members, so some families were in mourning. While I didn’t understand what it felt like to lose someone dear, I had empathy for them. Sitting in bed, I massaged my hands and legs the best I could. I didn’t know what plans Grey had in mind, but I trusted him enough to know that he had the best interest of the Pack at heart and knew he wouldn’t let the Pack down. Still, I had questions about what was going on and the information he had found. I got up from my bed and walked out of my room with the thought of getting a much-needed breath of fresh air, and made my way to the garden. There was no one else there, so it gave me the chance to let my thoughts free. As the earth

BLOOMI shouldn’t be doing this. What if something bad happened to me? There was a possibility of that happening, but I needed to be sure whether this person was a threat to the Pack. The scent of pine filled the air and the sunlight disappeared through the thick canopy of large leaves. The crunch of leaves beneath my feet echoed through the silent woods. I didn't want to lose sight of the person. It wasn’t long after when the figure stopped suddenly and began looking around. I tiptoed behind a large tree to hide when the person suddenly turned in my direction. My breath caught with fear. The small figure told me that the person I was following was female. Had they realized they were being followed? That didn’t seem to be the case as the man turned around and continued walking again.That was close. I didn’t know who this person was and what they could do to me if they caught me. Taking systematic breaths, I tried to control my breathing as I followed after again. After a few more

BLOOMWatching Grey fight Stefan was terrifying. Stefan tried hard to push Grey off of him, but Grey was the bigger and stronger wolf, so instead of Stefan getting the upper hand over him, he was pushed to the ground. Grey’s wolf stood over Stefan’s, and even in wolf form, the fear in Stefan’s eyes was visible. Grey then looked up, his eyes making contact with the other man standing to the side, and the maliciousness in his eyes stunned me. If looks could kill, the other man would be dead already. The aura flowing from Grey was so powerful and intense that I had to move backwards. I saw the fear in the eyes of the other man before he shifted and ran off. Cecily followed after him, Stefan also, once he was able to get up. But even as the dust settled, the tension was still present. I had a feeling that this conflict was far from over. Looking back at Grey, whose breath came out harshly, his anger radiating from every pore, I couldn’t help but wonder what had caused such intense ani

GREYRay was still speaking with me about the progress of the Pack repairs, but I couldn’t concentrate. Bloom. I knew she was standing outside, listening to our conversation, and I could feel the anger and sadness bubbling inside her. Focusing my attention back on the request for an alliance that came from Montrose Pack, I started to rethink my choice. The Alpha of Monstrose Pack made life a living hell for his daughter, and that was the worst choice he ever made. When I sensed that Bloom had gone back to the room, I raised a hand to stop Ray. “Let’s continue this discussion another time.” My Beta nodded with apparent understanding and excused himself. After he left, I stood up to go check on Bloom. When I got to the door, I stopped at the threshold and peeked in hesitantly. She was lying on the bed, a duvet covering her completely like she was cold, and that broke my heart. I closed the door gently behind me after walking in and stood by the door. “Bloom…”The corner of the duve

GREYAll the Alphas from the different Packs had finally arrived. So many of them were gathered and sat around the round table, but my attention was on one person in particular. The reason Bloom wasn’t present at the meeting. The Alpha of Montrose Pack. He laughed as he discussed something with some other Alphas, and a frown crossed my face. When I asked Bloom if she wanted me to request her father’s request for alliance, she didn’t say anything. My eyes roamed the room and fell on the Alpha of Orion, and seated to his left was his daughter. She had an obedient smile as she listened attentively to him and what the other Alphas around. Stefan and Lewis were also present for some reason, and they… I really didn’t even know what to say about them. They weren’t doing anything.I sighed, turning my gaze to Ray and Richmond who were discussing next to me, and hardened my face before standing. The Alpha trusted me enough to send their request of alliance to my Pack, and the weight of that

BLOOMIt took everything in me not to just walk past my father, but I stopped next to him and met his pleading eyes. Whatever he wanted to say, I hope he made it short. I didn’t want to listen to him any longer than I had to. Seeing him reminded me of the painful past I wanted to forget. “Bloom, can we talk? I can’t stand you avoiding me because of how reckless I was.” Unexpectedly, my father’s voice came out choked like he was holding his emotions back.I sucked in a harsh breath and glared at him. “What makes you think I want to talk with you about anything?”“Bloom.” There it was again. My name on his lips. As a child, I had done everything to make him call me by my name instead of the ugly words he called me, but now him freely saying my name annoyed me. “I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have blamed you for your mother’s death. I shouldn’t have hurt you, and I shouldn’t have let others hurt you. I don’t want to make excuses for myself, but you have to understand where I am comin
