The Rejected Life Of Mala Luca – Chapter 24

A year later, Mala was sitting comfortably in her favourite place within the pack, a nice large rock in the orchard, that accommodated her size easily. She was smiling happily about the progress of the new children’s book she was working on. It was nearly finished. Getting ready to wrap it up with a little teaser at the end for the next in the series. Then she could sit down with her artist and set about getting all the pages drawn up and water coloured in.

The breeze was quite strong and blowing past her, it was not quite midday and she was under the shade of one of the orchard trees, enjoying being out there with the scent of sweet-smelling flowers from the orchard to fill her sense of smell.

Suki was curled up inside her mind, sleeping soundly, no worries for them at this time. Heard a clearing of a voice and looked up to see who was looking for her. There was no scent as they were downwind of her. With Suki asleep she’d not scented nor heard the foot fall of someone approaching her either.

I didn’t ask the council to do anything, other than to leave me alone.” And she hadn’t asked them to do anything, simply to ask a question so they could understand why she did not intend to go back to that pack. When they wanted her to, wanted her to go and be Hudson’s Mate and Luna, produce him an Heir. All she had wanted was for them to agree with her, that she shouldn’t be made to or asked to for that

As the actual, Alpha instructed you all too. So, I wouldn’t get injured. I was there to train you all, make you better fighters and you all hated that, hated me because I was not only better than all of you, but because I was wolf-less and could still bring you all down. Did I deserve that, Jet? Really deserve that?” Saw him say nothing and raised an eyebrow, “Do you know why I could beat you? Because I trained longer and harder than all of you. Learned multiple martial arts and focused everything on my training. All I ever wanted was to win that warrior challenge and become an elite warrior, make the pack proud. But no, he couldn’t even let me do that in one piece.”
