Chapter 10

Book:The Grateful Rejection Published:2024-6-2

He has been reading something in his book while I am playing around him. I crouch on my front legs and wiggle my tail, trying to get his attention. I bark at him and nudge his shoulder with my snout, when that doesn’t work I whine and slump in front of him. He peeked throw through the book with amusement dancing in his eyes. My tail automatically starts to wiggle as I start to feel his love radiate off of him.
“All you want is my attention, don’t you” he says keeping the book down. I hang my tongue out and turn over showing my belly, he got what I meant. He chuckled, “You should have been a panda, how come you became a wolf?” He said and muttered ‘so adorable’
He started tickling my belly and the wiggling of my tail matched his pace.
He played with me for half an hour then he got up saying that mom is at he alone and needed help with something. Smelling his arousal I knew I exactly what he meant I gagged in disgust but I was sad to not have him around. He magically made a 5 feet ball appear, “Here you go sweetie. Play as much as you want with this.. you won’t feel lonely. And remember, don’t go too far!” he warned and kissed my forehead, I barked and licked his face. 1
I watched him open a portal to the door of our house, he waved back at me as the portal closed. I jumped on top of the giant ball flat on my belly only to end up roll-falling on my back. My wolf took over me and stood up one her four, she growled at the ball wiggling her tail. She jumped a few more times on it and the result was the same. In agitation she started chasing it. More like pushing the ball from her snout and running after it.
She must be looking like a lunatic for running after a giant ball with her tongue out and sometimes jumping one the ball. She came to a halt near a small pond, she was panting as her tongue was dry. She pushed the ball to the side and walked up to the pond. She dipped her mouth into the cold water and drank till she was fully satisfied.
After drinking she waited to see her reflex in the pond. There is no denying that she is beautiful, we are beautiful. Her grey fur shining under the light makes her fur look like diamonds. She is pure grey, there is no other patches of colour. She stands 5’7 feet tall, power radiating from every pore of our body. We know what we’ve been through and how we managed to be one top with hard work. We take huge pride in that. Her dark black eyes make a beautiful contrast to her shinning grey fur. She tilts her head and grins looking at her reflection.
Suddenly our ears peaked up as we heard a sound. She turned back to look for any threats with her teeth baring, she let out a lowly growl when she heard snapping of twigs. The musky smell of a man ringed me. The smell made my heart race, not in fear but in anticipation. The smell was tranquilizing, mud’s smell when it rains with a hint of musk.
It was all over the place now, the scent only got stronger, I could feel another heartbeat near me. The sound of paws against the ground came closer to me.
Then it stopped. At least three miles away from me, my tail stood up straight waiting for the threat to shown himself to me. I was thirsty for blood anyway, I haven’t had a fresh kill recently. The prey seemed to be smelling delicious.
Then in a blink of an eye the smell was a few feets away. I stood as I began to feel the power off of him, I growled as I heard him go around me in circles in among the trees. Then I heard the piercing sound of claws in… rubber? I turned around to attack but my movements halted and so did my heart.
There he stood, a black fured lycan with neon blue eyes. Standing tall and proud in his intimidating 15 feet glory. My legs began to shake for the power he was radiating. I looked at him wide eyes and he punctured my ball with his claws. He threw threw the deflated ball to the side as he came towards me licking his snout… not creepy at all. I stepped back as he began slowly walking towards me, he is playing, contemplating my moves.. my motives.
I bowed down to him and showed my neck, as a sign of submission and respect. I wanted to let him know that I am no threat. But that didn’t stop him, he seemed to have ignored it and kept on walking. My heart was literally beating so fast that I feared it’ll burst out of my chest. Then he stood in front of me, I didn’t know what to do. In a fight with a werewolf and a lycan, I would be ruthlessly killed.. with my body parts scattering around the place.
‘Mumma.. help me’ I called out to her in the mind link that I had created long back. Maybe sensing that I did something to his dislike he growled at me. I whimpered and coward back, which made him snap and pull me to him. I started struggling as he picked me up like a fucking puppy. My legs were dandling in the air.
I anger I growled at him and clawed his face, I bared my teeth at him but he looked at me indifferently, he pulled me chest to chest. His snout buried in my neck, I was to stunned to comprehend his acts. I was frozen in my place, he licked my neck and did something that was never expected of any shape shifters.
“Mine” he said hoarsely. With that everything went blank and I fell limp in his arms.
“— because you wanted a pussy so bad, you left OUR daughter ALONE in the fucking FOREST??” I heard mum scream at dad. I groaned pulling the pillow to cover my ears. Sometimes I hate being able to hear everything.
Wait. Pillow?
I furrowed my eyebrows and sat up on the bed, the familiar feeling of my silk sheets underneath me made me feel comfortable.. or is it the unusual smell.. but the last time.. I remember.. being near a pond. I closed my eyes and a pair of neon blue eyes flashed through my memory, a sudden tingling went throughout my body making me shiver in delight. Then I remembered the incident, my heart started to beat at a fast pace. The lycan.. he said.. what the actual fuck.. a animal just spoke..
I rolled my eyes, yeah that my priority.. not the fact that he said something I never wanted to hear from anyone. I slowly slipped off the bed but before I could open the door, it opened and revealed Ariana. She looked at me wide eyed, “What the fuck are you doing?? Go lay down! MAAAA!!! SHE IS AWAKE!!” She screamed making me hiss and cover my ears.
“Sensitive hearing, Ari” I say in pain, she looked at me apologetically, “Sorry babe” she said and lightly nudged me towards the bed, “I am fine” I said but she still tucked me in. I heard thundering footsteps approaching me, I mentally rolled my eyes. Oh my over dramatic family, I smile softly. My mom comes in looking frantic with tears streaming down hear face. I furrowed my brows, “What’s wrong mumma?” I ask trying to get up from the bed but she comes to me and hugs me. I wrap my arms around her without any hesitation and rub her back, “What is it mumma?” I ask her soothingly mumbling sweet words in her ears.
“I was so worried about you, baby” she said pulling back with tears still spilling out of her eye. She bit her lips to stop herself from crying, I caressed her cheeks and wiped the tears, “I am alright mumma.. everything’s fine” I coo her and bring her in my arms. I could hear her the unstable beating of her heart. I tried to coax her as gently as possible. Soon I heard her heart beat steadying and in no time she fell asleep but not without say ‘I cannot afford to lose my baby again’
I released a sigh and tucked her in my bed. I slowly made my way out of the room, thank God they left us to give us some privacy. When I reached the ground floor, I saw dad and Stephan talking. Their attention snapped towards me, I smiled at them, “I am fine” I assure them as both make their way towards me, “I wouldn’t be able to live if something happened to my little sister” Stephan said and pulled me in a warm embrace. I smiled in my brother’s safe embrace and snuggle into his chest, “My little puppy” he says teasingly making me pull back in shock, “I am a fudging alpha!” I say in disbelief. But he pout and kisses my forehead, “My little puppy!” He pulls my nose and belly’s laughs. I just snort and hit his chest. He teases me more, annoying the shit out of me.
