Semua Bab Rejected and Claimed : Bab 161 - Bab 170

~Xyana~As we leave the Pack training ground. I watch as Gaston goes in and out of several mind-links.Dion drives the car while I sit in the back seat, worrying my head off about the turn of events.We got to the pack house in half the fraction of the time it would have taken us to normally.Gaston helps me out of the car, and we hurry down to the Pack house. Clifton meets us halfway, shaking his head. "He's not here, anymore. I can't find him." Gaston's face morphs to show how hurt and disappointed he is. This must be so hard on him because according to what I've gathered so far, he brought the man into the Pack house, and it's all because of me."Let's get to his quarters."They started heading through the narrow curve from the side of the Pack house that led to a few apartments I didn't know existed."Go to your room, Babe." Clifton tries to tell me but I insist. I want to see; I want to understand why a man they call uncle would decide to suck the soul out of my Omega's body.

~Xyana~ He arches a brow at me, tearing me out of my spiraling thoughts. “Xyana?" I open my mouth several times only to close it right back. Taking a few steps closer to me, he stares at me as if I have gone completely insane. "I can't... I can't do this without... Goddess!" He exclaims, and I can perceive how worried he is from the sound of his voice. His worried expression makes my heart squeeze painfully, and I can't seem to find the voice to ask why he seems so worried. I take the remaining steps to reach him; his eyes widen slightly as he watches me come closer. I can observe the shift in his eyes as they darken as soon as I stand directly in front of him, and he inspects my movements as if he's on guard. "Xyana?" he asks again, his voice now low and husky as I look up at him. Gathering all the courage I can possibly figure, I twist my fingers around his neck and pull him to me. He doesn't fight against it, letting himself get pulled as his lips crash against mine. A guttu

~Xyana~Gaston walked me to my room and stopped right at the door, refusing to come in, even when I asked him to.He explained that if he came in, then he might not be able to get himself to leave. I wrapped my arms around his waist, and he hugged me close. "I'll see you in the morning then," I told him and he hummed with a smile, feeling tired"I'll see you, Angel. Have a good night's rest." He leaned in and kissed me gently."You too, Gaston," I told him.He scrunches his nose and blows a sweet kiss. At that moment, he didn't look like the fearful alpha who barely smiled or made small talk. But a guy who is loving his life. So carefree, so young, so happy.I laugh, entering my quarters to set an early morning alarm for Dion and eventually catch some sleep.But as soon as I have closed the door behind me, I can already smell his scent lingering in the room. I searched around and found him standing by the balcony, looking outside."Dion

~Xyana~It took Declan and Clifton almost an hour to convince Gaston that he needed to listen to me and mark me before midnight.Doctor Nat was invited and asked to stand by, in case of necessity. He disconnected my IV fluid and placed a plaster on the needlepoint after removing the cannula he used. I asked to be allowed to see Dion but Gaston refused instantly. However, I persisted that I needed to speak to him. After much back and forth and support from Clif and Bones, he finally let me.But he did warn me about his cell coated with wolfsbane, and I should stay back because a contact with wolfsbane is only going to weaken me more.***A guard leads me to Dion's cell. Descending the cold steps slowly, I start regretting why I insisted on coming all by myself.Even with the numerous guards around, I still feel terribly alarmed and alone.Dion is sitting on a bench, leaning against a wall. He sees me, but my presence doesn't enact a single reaction from him. He just stares blankly at

~Xyana~We have dinner together after the marking ceremony. The discussion on the table ranges from news about the happenings in the Pack to the preparation of our upcoming marking ceremony and our almost completed gymnasium.There are several jokes made across and the highlight of my night is when I look at Clifton and Declan, they both seem happy.I have a little dance with the Alpha and finally, it's time for our little gathering to come to an end.Aside from Doctor Nat, who had gone up to Gaston's room to make sure the bed was set up in a way that I would be comfortable, Declan and Dion were the last to leave the room. They plant kisses on both sides of my cheeks, chuckling as they go. "Have fun." Bones whispers before shutting the door.I blush so hard at his comment and even some more when Clif winks at me.So this is it.It's done.I've been marked by not just any Alpha, but Gaston Howling. The Alpha I stole his kiss an
