All Chapters of The Human Among Wolves: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Rex and I giving our relationship a second chance was just what we needed. We were looking forward to what the future held for us and not holding back because of the past mistakes that separated us. Even though it meant our relationship had to be kept between ourselves, there was no way I was keeping it from Anastasia and Sebastian. They were my best friends, and I promised no more secrets. “Rex and I are back together,” I said while we were doing our mid-school activity. Since I got my wolf, it meant I could join combat, mind strength, and hunting classes, and that gave us even more time to spend together. We were grouped into threes for combat, and of course, Sebastian and Anastasia were my group members. Rex was at the other side of the field. We were both pretending like we hadn’t spent almost twenty minutes making out in the hockey rink. We didn’t even maintain eye contact because everyone was here. Immediately the words left my mouth, Anastasia dropped the stick she was ho

The morning of our trip to Centerville finally arrived.I stood in front of my dresser. I did a little makeup before checking the list our HWS tutor had given us.Notebook. Camera. Recording sheets. Voice recorder.I nodded to myself.Everything was packed. This wasn’t like our first trip because we had defaulted before. Our tutor gave us extra work and, to be honest, I wasn’t offended at all. It just meant I got more time away with Rex.As I reached for the zipper, my eyes drifted toward the window. A smile formed on my lips, not only because of the thought of Rex, but because the window brought back memories of last night.I could still picture it so clearly.I was about to go to bed when I heard a knock. I had almost screamed until I pulled the curtain aside and found Rex balancing awkwardly on the tree branch outside.“What are you doing?” I had whispered as I hurried to open the window.“I missed you.”That was all he had said.I remembered rolling my eyes before helping him insi

“You must be Rex…”Monica smiled warmly as she looked him over. Rex straightened immediately.“Yes, ma’am.”She stepped closer before placing both hands on his shoulders.“I’ve heard so much about you.”I couldn’t help smiling.“Only good things, I hope.”She laughed.“Mostly.”Rex glanced at me suspiciously.“Mostly?”I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing. Monica smiled as she came to sit with us. She turned completely to Rex.“Lily is…” she paused, looking at me for a moment before turning back to him.“…the little girl I never had. I’ve watched her grow up. I’ve watched her laugh…and I’ve watched her cry.”She folded her hands together.“So all I’m asking is…”She looked Rex directly in the eyes, then glanced at me, who was smiling from ear to ear.“Please take care of her.”Rex didn’t even hesitate to answer.“I will.”“And don’t break her heart.”“I won’t. I never will. I promise.”Monica smiled, looking satisfied.Before anyone could say anything else—“If you do…”Drew sudd

We were already headed back to Raven Academy. It was late at night, but we could still make it to Raven before midnight.The drive back to Raven felt much shorter than the journey there.Maybe because my heart was full.Or maybe because somehow, in a single day, Rex and I had managed to fit an entire lifetime of memories into a few hours.We had visited Monica.Walked through my old home.Finished every single questionnaire for our HWS project.We even had enough time to ask a few people questions on our topic.“Do you think humans can cohabit with any other species?”It was a fun session because everyone seemed to have different answers. It felt just like those street interview videos content creators make.Rex didn’t ask any questions. I did most of the questioning because I could relate better. He just stood there taking notes.And somewhere between all of that……we’d still managed to sneak in an actual date.I rested my head against the window as the evening breeze blew over my fa

Rex didn’t stop walking until they were well away from the celebration. He dragged Clara from the lake toward the maid quarters before stopping along one of the stone walkways overlooking the gardens.The moment he released her arm, she yanked it away.“What is wrong with you? Have you completely lost your mind?”Rex remained calm. He hadn’t brought her out here to listen to her repeat the same accusations over and over again. He had brought her here to settle this once and for all.But Clara still stared at him in disbelief.“Do you even realize what you’ve just done? Hugging her in public? Holding her? After your father’s warnings?”She threw both hands into the air.“Your father would be so disappointed if he saw that.”Rex didn’t answer.“You’ll become Alpha in a few months. You are supposed to lead this Pack. You are supposed to set an example. And instead…”She scoffed.“…you’re secretly running around with an offender.”For a few seconds, Rex simply looked at her. He knew Clara
