Rejected Little Secret by Lisj

Chapter 63 

With a serious expression, Axton approached us, his arm instinctively wrapping around his sister’s shoulders, bringing her into a protective embrace. 

“Sis, you might wanna tone it down when bragging about Blackacre being better than that other pack,” His words were barely audible as he spoke softly, yet his tone remained unwavering. “It could cause some tension.” 

With an eye roll, Axel swatted at her brother’s hand that was attempting to mess up her hair. 

“Relax, Aston,” she replied with a playful grin. “I’m just messing around. Let’s be real, Thomholde doesn’t stand a chance against Blackacre 

There was a subtle sparkle in Axton’s eyes as he sighed, a mix of exasperation and amusement. “Just be careful, okay?” 

With a playful shove, Axel burst into laughter, teasing her brother, 

“Oh, come on, Axton, lighten up!” she exclaimed. “It’s not like anyone’s going to start a war over a little friendly rivalry” 

A brief, wordless exchange of glances with Sammy confirmed our mutual understanding. Axel’s words, though delivered with a lightness, hold a weight that was impossible to disregard. The tension between Thomholde and Blackacre had always simmered beneath the surface, and any mention of one pack being superior to the other had the potential to ignite old grudges. 

Despite the pleasant conversation, I couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease as we chatted with Axel and her friends. Axal’s seemingly harmless. words had the potential to unleash turmoil, fueled by the longstanding rivalry between Thornholde and Blackacre. Yet, in that moment, I chose to let go of my concerns and wholeheartedly embrace the present. Despite the tension hanging in the air, the joy of being surrounded by friendly faces and the thrill of exploring Blackacre with Sammy made it a memorable adventure. 

Throughout the day, as the sun gradually set, Axton guided us through the pack’s territory, pointing out notable landmarks and regaling us with fascinating tales of the pack’s heritage. As we walked, Axton and Axel’s contagious enthusiasm spread through me like a wildfire, momentarily eclipsing the looming troubles that awaited us at Thomholde. 

Eager to rest our weary legs, Sammy and I exchanged excited glances as we approached the inn, imagining the comfort and coziness that awaited us inside. Before we could take a single step inside, Auton’s voice echoed through the air, freezing us in place. He asked, his serious tone making it clear that he was genuinely confused. 

“What are you two doing?” 

Turning to face him, his unexpected question caught me off guard and left me feeling perplexed. With a furrowed brow, I replied, trying to make sense of 

it all 

“We were just going to check in and bring our bags inside?” 

With a shake of his head, Axton couldn’t help but break into a playful smile. 

“No, that won’t do,” he said firmly “Remember, you and Sammy are not ordinary visitors. You’re highly esteemed guests, and if you meet the necessary permissions from your Alpha, you could join the pack. You deserve more than just a room in the inng you deserve a comfortable and inviting space to relax and unwind. You deserve your own house here in Blackacre.” 

Axton’s unexpected words left me blinking in surprise, unsure of how to respond. A house in Blackacre? It surpassed everything I had ever dreamed of But as the reality of his offer sank in, a wave of uncertainty washed over me 

Did we genuinely car the right to be bestowed with such a remarkable privilege! 

In that moment, I saw the same incredulous expression on Sammy’s face that mirrored my own astonishment. She protested, her uncertain voice barely audible. 

16:42 Wed, 19 Jun GBG. 

“But Axton, we can’t just accept something like that… 

With a determined glint in his eyes, Axton shook his head, ready to take on the challenge. 

53% 

“Nonsense,” he said firmly. “You two have earned your place in Blackacre. Take it as a gift from the pack and myself, a small gesture of appreciation.” 

Sammy and I were left in a state of disbelief as we processed Axton’s words, sharing shocked glances that mirrored our inability to filly comprehend the offer he was presenting us with. 

A house? In Blackacre? 

It seemed too good to be true, like a dream that might vanish at any moment. 

At Thornholde, we had been assigned a cramped housing unit that barely accommodated the two of us. The wom–down house had seen better days, evident from its cracked walls and the constant sound of dripping water from leaky pipes. No matter how hard we tried, it never felt like anything more than a temporary house. And now… Axton was offering us our own personal cabin, where we could enjoy the convenience of having our own bathroom and kitchen. It exceeded both our wildest expectations. 

My mind was a flurry of thoughts and emotions as we followed Axton through the maze–like streets of Blackacre. I couldn’t believe that we were actually going to have a place to call our own, a place where we could finally feel safe and secure. A chance for a fresh start awaited us, beckoning us to a place where we could finally feel like we belonged. 

When we finally reached our new home, my heart skipped a beat as I took in the breathtaking sight of it. The cabins, though small, had a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with a charming porch and a lovely garden. Sammy’s cabin and mine stand side by side, with our doors directly across from each other. With a smile, Axton stepped towards Sammy’s cabin and graciously opened the door for us. 

“Well? What are you both waiting for? Come on, let’s go inside and escape the cold!” 

“Sammy,” I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. “Can you believe this?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“No, maya, I can’t” Sammy’s eyes widened with a mixture of awe and joy as she took in the sight of the cabin, realizing it was her very own. “But that won’t stop me from thinking that I deserve every bit of it.”
