Rejected Little Secret by Lisj

Chapter 62 

With each step we took into Blackacre, an indescribable feeling of reverence grew within me. The sight of the cabins, tucked away in the thick woods, was reminiscent of a place I had visited in a different time. The statue of the majestic wall, proudly positioned at the heart of it all, only added to the 

sense of déjà vu. 

The air was filled with the invigorating scent of pine and earth, intermingling with the delightful fragrance of wildflowers and berries. The streets were adorned with smooth cobblestones, their polished surface reflecting the glow of candle lit pathways, and the cabins emitted a tranquil charm, evoking a sense of history and heritage. 

My gaze swept across the surroundings, capturing the captivating sights and enchanting sounds of this unfamiliar place, leaving me in awe and aching for more. No matter where I turned my gaze, I was greeted by the lively sights and sounds of the bustling marketplace and the energetic play of children 

in the streets. 

The moment we passed under the arch that read “Blackacre,” I was immediately taken aback by its sheer beauty, causing my jaw to drop in amazement. It was as if I were stepping into another world, a world where anything was possible and where the past and present seemed to blur together in a strange and surreal way. 

With a sense of wonder, I turned to Axton, my eyes wide and eager. 

“Holy shit. This place is amazing” I said, my voice filled with awe. “It’s far more beautiful than Thornholde!” 

His face lit up with a smile, and his eyes sparkled with happiness, their corners crinkling. 

“Well, Chestnut, to be fair, Thornholde’s size is far greater than that of Blackacre, which is why managing Blackacre is comparatively easier. Nevertheless, I’m relieved that you have a positive opinion of it,” he said warmly. “For as long as I can remember, Blackacre has been a haven for countless werewolves, who have found solace and belonging within its borders. There’s something undeniably special about this place.” 

Unable to tear my gaze away, I nodded, mesmerized by the captivating sights around me. The atmosphere in Blackacre was imbued with a sense of magic, as if every breath held a hint of something extraordinary. 

The more we walked, the stronger the sensation grew within me that this was where I was meant to be surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells that felt like home. In Thornholde, I have a habit of keeping my eyes lowered to the ground when I walk the streets, hastening my return to the safety of my house. Here, I can hold my chin up high, basking in the confidence that comes from meeting friendly gazes, each accompanied by a welcoming smile. 

In an instant, my ears perked up as I recognized a familiar voice calling my name. I swiftly pivoted to find Axel racing towards us, accompanied by a cluster of her friends. 

“Mayal” Axel exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. “I can’t believe you’re here! How was the journey? What do you think of Blackacre?” 

As Sammy and I locked eyes, a mutual understanding passed between us – we would never breathe a word about what happened to Nadia in Axel’s presence. Sammy’s smile stretched from ear to ear as she answered Axel 

“The journey was long, but we made it. And Blackacre.. well, it’s amazing. The scenery, the people, everything–it’s all incredible.” 

“Yeah, it’s pretty great,” I chimed in, my eyes sparkling with excitement. “It’s so much prettier here than Thomholde.” 

“Welcome to the pack, both of you. I promise you won’t regret joining us,” In a sudden motion, Axel turned towards the other group of kids, a mischievous glint shining in her eyes. “Guess what? My brother recruited two new pack mambers!* 

The impact of Axel’s words was evident in the widening of my eyes, and I couldn’t help but notice Sammy’s eyes swell in response. As his sister’s statement shocks him, Axton’s throat tightens, causing him to choke on his own saliva. He instinctively starts punching his chest to clear his a try. Curiosity filled the eyes of Axel’s friends as they turned to us, and Axel’s voice resonated with pride as she continued. 

That’s right, Pointing at Sammy and me, she placed her hands on her hips and proudly puffed her chest. “Maya and Sammy here decided to loan.

old pack and join us here in Blackacre. Those traditional old people have no idea what they’re missing out on, we are clearly the better pack!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Cheers and applause erupted from her friends, their excitement evident. I couldn’t contain my laughter when i saw Axel, her contagious excitement spreading as she bragged about us joining Blackacre. Naturally, I had to correct her, there was no other option 

Inhaling deeply, I collected my thoughts, preparing myself for what I was about to say. 

“Axel, Well, Sammy and I are really happy to be here, but… the truth is, we’re not exactly joining the pack permanently. Our Alpha gave us the green light to come here for a month, like a quick getaway, but that’s about it.” 

Disappointment clouded Axel’s features, her expression falling 

“Oh,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “That sucks.” 

“But hey, it’s not all bad,” Sammy interjected, her voice filled with brightness and hope, as she eagerly clasped her hands together. “We may only have permission for a month right now, but who knows? Perhaps we’ll be able to extend our stay, If our Alpha witnesses the positive influence this place has on us, he might consider allowing us to stay for a longer duration.” 

I nodded in agreement, grateful for Sammy’s optimism. 

“Yeah, you’re right,” I said, forcing a smile, and feeling the ellort it took to make it genuine because with Zeke, it will never come easy. “There’s no harm in trying, right?”
