All Chapters of Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Eva's POV.I laid curled up in bed again, my back facing the world, and my heart tucked somewhere between hopelessness and numbness.The thick silence of the room had become my friend that never left my heart, it was the only thing that hadn’t turned against me yet.For the past few weeks, this bed had been my safe zone. The one place I could hide where the whispers didn’t reach me, where the stares couldn’t burn through my skin, where the weight of their judgment couldn’t choke me.They had gotten louder.The rumors.The names.The insults.I didn’t even try anymore. I’d given up walking around the house, given up on sitting by the window, even stopped going to the garden. Because the moment I stepped outside, someone had something cruel to say. About me. My wolf. Or the fact that I didn’t have one.I used to think that ignoring them would make them stop. That if I just smiled and pretended it didn’t hurt, they’d get tired and move on. But they didn’t. They just got louder. More vic

Eva’s POVIt was deep in the night, but I was still wide awake, staring at the ceiling, completely still, not blinking, not even breathing too hard. The only thing I could hear was the soft rhythm of Nicklaus’s breathing right beside me, so calm… He had pulled me into his arms earlier, like he always did, and like always, I let him. I had molded my body into his and rested my head against his chest, listening to the sound of his heart as it lulled me into a temporary kind of peace I didn’t deserve. But tonight, I didn’t close my eyes. I couldn’t. My mind wasn’t letting me.This was it.I had to go.The soft moonlight trickled in through the slightly opened curtain, I tilted my head slightly, just enough to see his face. His features were relaxed, his lips slightly parted. He looked so innocent in sleep, so at peace, like nothing in the world could bother him. My eyes burned as I stared at him, drinking him in like it was the last time.Because it was.I waited until I was sure... co

Eva's POV.The wind brushed past my face as I ran, no, leapt.. through the forest with my new limbs, my paws pounding against the soil like I was born for this.I couldn’t stop.I didn’t want to stop.For the first time in my twenty-two years of existence, I knew what it meant to be whole. The strength in my legs, the clarity in my vision, the way my hearing sharpened and the cold air didn’t bother me at all, it was all new, and all mine.My heart galloped in rhythm with my paws, beating hard in my chest with pure euphoria.I was no longer the wolfless girl.No longer the mockery of the pack.No longer the girl hiding in silence and shame.I was a wolf.Not just any wolf, an Alpha wolf as Nicklaus who's seen my wolf had said.The highest ranking wolf, the most respected.I had wished for as small as an omega Wolf, but moon goddess had other plans for me. I really can't wait to see the look on people's faces when they finally set their eyes on my wolf. Now I don't have to run away an

Eva's POVThe moment the gasps tore through the air like lightning bolts, I bolted. My paws pounded the earth so fast I could barely feel the ground under me. I didn’t care who was still watching, what their stunned faces looked like, or what they were whispering in their heads. I just wanted to run. To feel it again.The wind tore through my fur as I raced deeper into the woods, the moonlight filtering through the trees in scattered beams. It was like the forest opened itself up to me, and right behind me, was Nicklaus. His heavy paws striking the ground as he kept up, matching my pace with ease. His presence behind me felt like a tether. A grounding force that made me feel safe.We ran. For minutes. Maybe longer. I didn’t even know how far we went. I didn’t care. I was so high on the feeling of freedom, of finally being whole, that nothing else mattered. Not the rumors. Not the stares. Not the years I spent hiding in shame. I had a wolf. And I was running wild with the man who love

Eva's POV.I'd been taking long strolls every evening since I got my wolf, making up for all the time I spent locked away inside the house, hiding from the world and its vicious whispers. Now, the whispers no longer pierced me. They couldn’t. Not when I had finally broken through the one thing that held me back.I was just returning from one of those walks when I spotted him Nicklaus.He stood just outside the house, dressed in a simple black shirt that hugged his torso a little too perfectly, as though it had been designed with only him in mind, and the look in his eyes when they settled on me made my heart flutter in the exact same way it did the first time he ever touched me.“There you are,” he blurted. “I was just about to leave.”I tilted my head. “Leave? Where to?”“The elders summoned me for a meeting.” He shrugged lightly.A meeting?“Can I come?” I asked almost immediately, curiosity sparking in me.He looked at me for a moment, then smiled. “Of course, I was waiting for you
