《REJECTION》15

"Get out of my way." I threatened.
"What?"
"This is a warning. Get out of my way." There are more men coming. Their eyes are proof of their resurfacing wolves.
"How did that girl get in here?"
"We don't need her. Kill her." Their claws extended.
"To threaten to kill someone, you must be prepared to exchange your life." I whispered but all of them heard it.
Thunder roared in the distance. I felt my eyes turn gold and...another thunder and everyone has gone unconscious.
"Nee..."
I held her hand again. "Let's go." We headed downstairs.Someone was charging towards us but I grabbed it's face and slammed it against the wall. I am... angry. Mad.
Those who tried to stop us ended up unconscious. We reached the front yard and there were a few wolves surrounding us.
"Move." I said through gritted teeth.But all I heard were snarling, growling and barking.I don't have time for this.
"Riri, close your eyes." I don't want her to see this side of me. But I am really, really angry right now. My hands are itching to kill. My chest is about to explode.
Thunderclaps. They are charging and...
*Swoosh* A red light swooped in and they fell on the ground.
"I told you, I will come." Duke said, walking towards me.
My brewing anger still makes my hand tremble.
"Laine." He reached for my face, eyes glowing red. "It's alright now. Breathe."
I breathed out and the thunderstorm stopped.
"Riri!" Theo came running towards Riri, who he immediately embraced. They are mates, I concluded.
Then, I noticed another presence. Aiden.
A cold chill ran under my skin. Is he angry?
"They said if I tell anyone, they will... they will hurt everyone." Riri cried. We head back to the orphanage. "I don't want to hurt anyone."

"Shhh... It's ok. We're here. You're safe now."
"We need to let her rest." Headmaster said.
"I'll stay here."
"Okay, take care of her."
The rest of us walked outside towards the office. Duke is with me as I am still furious at this Prince.
"If that threat is real, we need to be on high alert."
"I'll stay here. I called some of my warriors to come here the soonest." Aiden is mad, I can sense it and it is adding to mine.
"I will deploy some of my guards."
"Your guards?" Aiden asked. Right, he has a vague idea what or who Duke is.
"Your warriors might take time to arrive. Don't worry, they are trustworthy."
"I will contact Sicilia to inquire of this matter."
My jaws clenched as I try to be as logical as I can be. I don't want to leave here right now. I must protect them, I don't want the same incident to happen ever again.
"Laine." Duke whispered. All of them are staring at me.
"You're hurt?" Aiden asked and there I realized, my nails dug through my skin as I tightly clenched my fist.
I stared at my hand. It was I, who inflicted this. Yet, it does not hurt.
"It's nothing." I put my hand down. Wounds are not exactly a big deal to me.
But Aiden was quick to grab it. "It's bleeding. Do you have first aid?" He asked the headmaster.
"I'm fine." I said, hiding my turmoil.
"You're not."
Surprised, I stared at him. He was... concerned. It was not Kylo who said it but Aiden.
For some reason, I let him bandage my hand. Headmaster hauled Duke outside to his every protest. I just eyed him for a second and they left.

"If you want to protect them, you should take care of yourself." I turned to my hand. My wounds will heal, I can bear my pain, what I can't stand is anyone getting hurt because of me. "Don't hurt yourself for something you were unable to do. Regret things but don't let it swallow you."
"Why?" That's all I could ask. I want to ask why he is concerned, why does he care. He almost rejected me.
"You should love yourself, because I can't." There was something in his eyes. A sadness that has always been hiding. I want to know why? Why did he treat me like that? There is a reason. I want to know what.
"We have to protect all of those important to us. I want to protect you, so I can't love you." He stood up as my heart slowly cracked. Why? He left and slowly my tears welled up.
Why am I doing this to myself?
"Laine." Duke came in as the loud downpour outside resounded.
"Why does nobody love me?"
He encased me under his arms. "That's not true." He whispered.
"Then, why?" My tears uncontrollably pour down and I want to... I want to forget everything.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
