Zack’s POV

The moment Zoe finished shifting, Celeste burst forward like a streak of moonlight. The White Wolf was magnificent. Her white fur glowed under the sun, and her powerful frame moved with a grace that made every other wolf look clumsy in comparison. Even Zeus felt it—the pull toward her, the instinctive need to chase, to run beside her. Celeste didn’t even look back before sprinting toward the forest.

Zeus needed no invitation. We launched after her, the wind rushed past as our paws po

  • The Rejected Wolf Returns   Chapter 25 - Promises and Lies

    The moment Zack stepped out of the car, Zoe knew something was wrong. She could feel it through the bond, the tension, the unease. He had brushed it off with a simple “Everything’s fine”, but Zoe knew better than to believe that. Still, she didn’t push him. Whatever it was, they were already back on pack territory, and the packhouse stood just beyond the trees.The car rolled forward again, gravel crunching under the tyres. Zoe folded her arms, watching the massive building come into view. It felt strange returning after the quiet peace of the cabin. The moment they stepped back into pack life, everything would become complicated again. Zack parked near the entrance. “Ready?” he asked. Zoe shrugged. “As I’ll ever be.” They stepped out together and walked toward the packhouse doors.The moment they entered, Zoe felt dozens of eyes turn toward them. Warriors, omegas,

  • The Rejected Wolf Returns   Chapter 24 - The Choice to Stay

    Morning came softly, for a long moment, Zoe didn’t open her eyes. She stayed exactly where she was, half-asleep, warm, and tangled up in Zack’s arms beneath the thick blankets. His chest was solid against her back, one arm draped securely around her waist, his breathing slow and even against her hair. The cabin was quiet except for the faint sound of birds outside and the distant rustle of wind through the trees.If she didn’t move, she could almost pretend none of the complications existed, no pack politics, no Luna duties, no painful past, just warmth and him. Celeste stretched happily inside her mind. This is nice. Zoe let out a quiet sigh. “Yes,” she admitted silently. “It is.” Behind her, Zack stirred. His arm tightened instinctively around her waist before he buried his face closer to her neck.“Morning,” he mumbled, his voice rough with sleep. Zoe smiled despite herself. “Morning. He didn’t move, nor did she. “This is dangerous,” she said softly after a moment. Zack’s voice was

  • The Rejected Wolf Returns   Under the Same Moon

    The evening settled gently around the cabin. After dinner, Zack cleared the dishes while Zoe stepped outside onto the back balcony. The night air was cool, carrying the scent of pine and fresh water from the nearby lake. Above them, the moon hung bright and full in the sky. Zoe leaned her elbows against the railing, staring up at it quietly. A few minutes later, Zack joined her, carrying two mugs of coffee.“Thought you might want this,” he said. She accepted the mug. “Thanks.” For a while, they simply stood there together, watching the stars slowly appear in the darkening sky. The mountains were quiet at night. The world felt distant, peaceful—like they were the only two people left in it. Zoe took a sip of her coffee and sighed. “I forgot how quiet it is out here.” Zack nodded. “That’s why I come here.”She glanced sidew

  • The Rejected Wolf Returns   More Than One Future

    The quiet of the cabin returned slowly after the storm of emotions that had swept through the bedroom. Zoe lay beside Zack, staring at the wooden ceiling above them as she tried to slow her breathing. The room still smelled faintly of pine from the forest outside, mixed with the warmth of the afternoon sun pouring through the windows.For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Then Zoe’s stomach growled loudly. She blinked, and Zack lifted his head slightly, a smirk forming on his face. “Well,” he said. “That answers that.” Zoe groaned and covered her face with a pillow. “Did that seriously just happen?”“Yes,” Zack said, clearly amused. “Your stomach just announced itself to the entire cabin.”She threw the pillow at him. “Shut up.” But her own laughter betrayed her. Zack rolled out of bed, stretching his arms above his head. “I’m starvi

  • The Rejected Wolf Returns   Where the Walls Finally Fall

    The morning sun crept slowly through the cabin windows, spilling soft golden light across the wooden floor. Zack had been awake for hours. Sleep had come and gone throughout the night, his mind constantly returning to the same thought. Zoe was just down the hall. His mate. Close enough that he could feel her through the bond… but still distant enough that he couldn’t touch her.Zeus shifted restlessly inside him. Mate is close but seems so far away.I know, Zack muttered quietly. Just as he stood to make coffee, Zoe’s bedroom door opened. He turned. And forgot how to breathe. Zoe stepped into the living room wearing a loose white shirt that brushed the tops of her thighs and shorts. Her black hair was still messy from sleep, falling across her shoulders. Her silver eyes met his.“Morning,” s

We launched after her, the wind rushed past as our paws pounded against the ground. The scent of pine and earth filled my senses, and for the first time in days, my mind cleared completely. This was freedom. This was what wolves were meant for. Celeste leapt over a fallen log, her white body almost glowing against the green forest. Zeus followed closely behind, pushing harder to keep pace. She’s fast, Zeus growled with admiration.Celeste darted through the trees, weaving between trunks before suddenly stopping and crouching low—a rabbit. Zeus caught t
