"Rain, I went home today. Something came up that needed my attention." It was a message from Erix. Oh, come to think of it. Erix and I agreed that we'd have a movie marathon tonight since the next day is my day off. Well, it can't be helped, Erix is an alpha, and he still has some responsibility to the pack he left behind. I sat down in the crowded club with Aira while she was chatting with a stranger. Now that my plans with Erix were canceled, I don't have any valid reason for Aira to decline her invitation. And now I'm stuck in this club. Aira is another friend, aside from being a classmate and a co-worker. And she once belonged to a pack before she decided to run away and leave in this neutral town for good. I knew Aira loved entertaining humans, but she also told me it was just for the time being until she met her mate. She doesn't want a serious relationship to avoid complications in the future. So in the meantime, she's dragging me anytime she knows I'm not doing anything. It

Erix started to avoid me when he learned that my mate was Killian. I don't know if he does this on purpose, but he's avoiding me. And it all started with him learning Killian is my mate.Lately, when I went home after work, he would approach me and invite me to his house for dinner or a late-night snack. "Erix seems not at home tonight, too," my wolf commented when I glanced at Erix's home. "Seems like he is avoiding us.""I know. That's why I wanted to talk to Erix if there's something between him and Killian." "Maybe we have to wait for a chance to catch him."I woke up early so I could catch Erix during his morning run. Bingo, I saw him running all sweaty coming towards his home. I got up and ran to block his way. I need to confront him. It's now or never. "Good morning, Erix. Care to chat a bit?" I smiled at him. "Morning'' he said under his breath as he wiped his sweat using the helm of his sweatshirt. "Want to have a coffee at my house?" I purposely invited him so I could

I found myself inside the former Alpha's house. How did I get here? I don't exactly know. After I got myself out of my former house, two warriors had been expecting me. "Alpha Killian has instructed us to take you to his old house for interrogation," Marcus told me. He was my former classmate during high school and is now one of the warriors in our pack. I arched my brow. "What for?" I asked him. "Just follow us. Alpha Killian will attend you after the meeting," he replied. I felt annoyed but obligated. "Shift," he commanded. This man is getting on my nerves, but I don't want to create another commotion. I'm not usually like this, but I have been in a bad mood since Killian is with Isabelle again. I shifted into my wolf, not minding if I tore the dress in the process. And when we reached the house just a few meters from the pack house, Marcus gave me a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt. "Get inside and wait until Alpha's arrival," he said before closing the door. I shif

I lost the very reason for me to live. Not only did Killian break my heart and bond, but Killian also took the life out of me. I want to die and be at peace. I bit my lips to stop myself from crying. When will this suffering end? Before I knew it, it was nightfall again. I could hear the owls in the woods outside my house, better in the dark. I often fell asleep to their sounds. It is the only thing that can help me sleep. It was like a melody only for me. I slept soundly for most of the night. I only woke up to the sound of the wind howling through or when the rain picked up heavily on the roof. I wasn't sure when the rain started, but it was soothing nonetheless. I like it more of a quit pitter patter though.When the day came again, I was awake and greeted by another painful realization that I was only alive to endure the pain alone. I want to die. I badly want to die. I hate the thought of waking up every day and missing some part of me that I used to have, my wolf. There was

Ah, why am I still alive? I was supposed to die when I jumped off the cliff. Why am I at the hospital? "Why did you take me here?" I asked Erix, who was staring at me. "Why did you save me?" I surprised myself when I spoke. Those were the first words I spoke since that day, and they happened to be him. My voice came out strained since it had been months since I said anything, but he didn't seem to pay that much attention. "Because Zander is worried about you.""Did you know about my plan to kill myself?" "I know something like what you did will happen, so I have kept my eye on you since that day.""Why care? You could just let me die in peace," I told him, not even sparing a glance at him. He was the one who urged my mate to end things with me. There was evidence of Killian's betrayal, but I can talk with him and possibly beg to break up with Isabelle."I want to talk to you," he said. "Leave me alone," I told him. He didn't move. He keeps staring at me in a way that starts to
