The Grateful Rejection novel Chapter 31

Third person's POV

~~The evening of the Blood Hunt~~

(A/n: due to very obvious reasons I have changed the BloodMoon Hunt to Blood Hunt)

The day started out just like a normal day when two souls were supposed to get united under the blessing of the gods and goddesses. Excitement and eager had taken over the atmosphere nobody would have guessed the horror the night took.

Sebastian lightly rocked the baby in his arms singing a lullaby. He admired the bundle of joy in his arms, sleeping like a innocent little angel. His soft snoring was like a melody of joy for Sebastian, he poked his son's soft chubby cheeks making it bounce. His blonde hair neatly brushed back, all thanks to the new mom who doesn't want her son to feel hot because of hair falling on his face. Apparently that's a thing, thought Sebastian. He kissed the baby all over his face making him turn a few times. Sebastian was in complete awe of the precious little baby.

But only him and his soon to be wife knows, this little angel doesn't let them sleep all night. He chuckled remembering when once his mother told him, how he never let his parents sleep all night. Throughout the day he'd sleep and all the energy come at night.

That's where Hunter got his little trait, from him. Hunter looks nothing like either of his parents though he has both of their eyes, Hunter is a carbon copy of his grandfather, alpha Amell and that wolf couldn't have been happier.

"Sebastian" Edmund's voice called out, "It's almost time. You should get ready" he added walking in the room. Sebastian nodded and handed over Hunter to Edmund, "Take care of your godchild" Sebastian said. Edmund made a poker face, "No I plan to play catch-catch with him" Ed rolled his eyes and started bouncing him softly in his arms. Sebastian slapped the back of his head, "You are turning into a male version of Ariana" he chuckled and stripping his clothes.

Ed scrunched his face in disgust, "Dude I know I am very hot and all but I am not interested in you" Ed shivered, Sebastian left a throaty laugh, "Oh Edmund, you have got me so hard" Seb teased seductively making Ed gag in disgust as he ran out of the room, "YES BABY JUST LIKE THAT" Sebastian yelled at Ed.

"YOU'RE DISGUSTING SEB" he shouted making Sebastian laugh out loudly.

Where one place there was humor and excitement ringing the atmosphere, in the other place Nora was having a mental break down.

"HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO HUNT IN THIS?" She asked her mother picking up the long silk trail of her red dress.

"Wasn't hunting supposed to be done in.. I don't know? Pants?" Her eyes wide in disbelief.

Her mother shrugged her shoulders, "It's you who wanted the traditional lycan wedding" she said sipping her wine.

"Mom please tell me, how am I supposed to hunt a freaking rhino in a bloody silk dress?" Nora crossed her hands.

"Watch you language young lady! You're a mother now. And what obssesion do you have with rhinos? Where the hell would you find rhinos here? They don't even like here!" Aurelia asked the doltish bride who was fuming in agitation.

"Dad's gonna help me.. teleport one here" Nora said sitting down.

Ariana emerged from the dressing room, "Mom can you help me with the zipper?" She asked turning around wearing a silver dress, "Don't you look good?" Ari said with a smile.

"You know I have to hunt in this gown?" She asked throwing her hands up.

"What did you thought you'd get? Army pants and t-shirt?" Ari chuckled at her sister.

"Well something closer" Nora raised her shoulder making ari roll her eyes, "Seriously Nora?! This is how traditional lycan weddings are! In dress if you have opted for the modern one then you'd have you tits and pussy covered in a piece of cloth" she said nonchalantly making Nora snort.

Arora entered the room with a big smile on her face, "The moon is out!" She said with a big smile.

Aurelia put her wine down on the table, she couldn't keep the tough facade longer now.

She came and hugged Nora, "I am so proud of you, my little princess." She said tearing up, "I feel like it's was just yesterday the three of you were fighting to get the breakfast first. Now look at you all grown up, looking beautiful. Gosh why did you have to grow up so fast?" she lightly pecked Nora's cheeks, "Come out whenever you're ready!" She whispered gi her daughter and walked out of the room.

Ari looked at Nora, "Wasn't that yesterday?" She enquired, "Yupp! Mom was out shopping. Dad was serving us" they both chuckled, "We are never changing" ari commented, "Never" they both did their secret handshake and walked out of the room.

The Blood Moon was shining brightly in the sky giving a both erotic and dangerous hue of red to everything the light touched. The air was softly humming with the leaves of the trees singing a song of the future to come. The sound of the ocean's water furiously hitting the cliff only added the final touch of danger that was needed.

On top of that cliff stood Sebastian eagerly waiting for his bride to come. He kept on fidgeting as the time passed by. As the back door of the mansion of his parent's house opened Sebastian's breath was knocked off. Nora looked extremely ferocious in her red dress. The high low dress that came inches above her knees in the front and trailed at the back. Sebastian was awe stuck, he could have never imagined his beautiful Nora looking so perilous. The top of the dress cling to her like second skin and the low V neckline amplified her ample blossoms. Her long legs shining under the moonlight and her soft black hair sensually being blown by the wind and her fierce blue-grey eyes shining with mischief as she approached Sebastian with a smirk on her pink lips made him dizzy for some reason.

Sebastian's eyes twinkled with wonder as she stood in front of him. No doubt Nora looks much better bare faced, she smiled at him, "You're gawking" she whispered softly.

"How can I take my eyes off such a beautiful woman?" He whispered love stuck making her chuckle, "You look handsome" she commented as her eyes again ranked down her soon to be husband's body.

The red shirt hung tight to his body, enhancing every contour and muscles he had packed over the years. He had kept three top buttons open making his chiseled bronze chest shine under the moonlight. The black pants had done every justice to his thickly muscled legs and his perfectly round arse. Her mouth went dry thinking of the various way she'll rip that piece of cloth.

"I can smell your arousal" Sebastian whispered in her ears making her blush.

Erik( Sebastian's father) cleared his throat as he, Amell and Earl stepped between them.

"Today we are gathered here to celebrate the union of two souls. Over the years love is one of the thing that has become alien in the world we live in but these two here have managed to find and sustain it regardless of all the hardships they have faced" Erik's boomed powerfully

"But as we all know, love has never been enough to form a relationship. Respect, gratitude, loyalty, trust are some of the things that are needed in a relationship. But we can't actually predict the situation the future brings to each person. But what we can do is ensure that the two of them are able to provide for each other. The Blood Hunt is a symbolic representation of all the needs and wants one will fulfil to another." Earl added with the same authority as his old friend.

The Huntsons, Gretfields, Hounds were all in awe of the couples who looked looked at each other with compassion.

Amell turned to look at Sebastian, "Do you swear to protect and love our daughter till the end of eternity?" The power in in voice read enough to scramble anyone in seconds. Sebastian looked directly into his eyes, "I do" he answered.

Erik turned to Nora, "Do you swear to love, protect and cherish my son till the end of eternity?" He asked without an ounce of emotion leaking from his face.

"I do" her voice rang, just as determined as Nora Huntsons is known for.

"Do remember not to turn into your lycan" Earl added before Erik could speak, "Now let the hunt begin" Erik said as Nora gave her father earl a smirk, to which he nodded back indicating that the rhino is here. Both of them took a run into the forest, Sebastian already knew he had to hunt her a grizzly bear so he went to the area where they are usually spotted.

Nora thought of following the screaming sound of a freightened rhino. But the thing is, she never heard of one. So she did only one thing, she followed any sound of distress or heavy distruction of trees or any flora. As she ran through the bushes her dress kept on getting stuck on the branches, growling in frustration she tore off the stupid trail then tore a small strip of it and tied her hair in a pony tail.

She started sniffing the air for some unusual smell, the night had something very eerie about it. The forest was buzzing with too much noises, her guy feeling had it something was wrong but she shrugged it off thinking it was just nervousness. She was too caught up in her thought to notice 2000kg of mass heading her way. Only when the rhino was a couple of meters away did Nora notice it and moved away from its path but not before it did some damage to Nora. The horn of the rhino slashed her waist from the side.

Nora let out a low growl and ran after it. The rhino though thousand of kilograms was fast. She caught it's tail but instead of stopping the rhino started to jump to and fro from its hing legs to front legs. All this while Nora was careful of it not stepping on her. Though she is a lycan, getting stomped by a rhino is not what she wants. But even though she was careful the rhino managed to stomp on her knee. Her scream of agony rang throughout the forest alarming everyone near the mansion.

Her brothers were about to run after her but their father stopped them, "You are not to help her" Earl said even though his hands were itching to help his daughter.

As the rhino managed to get the attacker on the ground, it raised its front legs to stomp on her chest but she managed to roll off at the last second. The rhino lowered it's horn and ran after Nora whose back was facing the rhino. It pierced it's horn inside Nora's back. Her entire body felt like it was being torn apart, the buring of the injury in her back. The rhino again attacked her by tossing her up in the air like a football.

On air Nora changed her stance from defense to attack, she landed on the rhinos back making it again jump trying to get the attacker off its back. Nora had no option but to let her demon out. She dug her enlarged nails then her hands in its neck, the rhino screamed in pain as she dugg her hands further into the mammal. The rhino fell on the ground and turned on its back to crush the attacker.

Nora was crushed by that 2000kg of mammal but she had managed to reach its spine and crush it in her palm then she grabbed it's head and twisted it there by killing the rhino. All this while she was under the rhino, with great difficulty she pushed it off and turned on her stomach. She howled in pain as the rhino had crushed her bone. Before she knows it black dots appeared befor eher eyes and she passed out.

Sebastian was already near the cliff with a huge grizzly bear lying dead near his feet as he was waiting for Nora to come. Her last scream really terrified everyone.

Sebastian's brothers had to hold him back from running to get Nora. It had already been half and hour and there was no sign of Nora. Containing Sebastian proved to be more difficult than anticipated, he had managed to throw all of his six brothers off him he was about to run into Nora's direction when a huge mass came flying from the edge of the forest and landed right on top of the bear.

Everyone was shocked to see a 5 and a half foot tall rhinoceros, weighing at least 2300kg if not less. The the edge came Nora huffing loudly, she limped towards the feast that the two had for each other, "You were right Mom, I shouldn't have gone for a fucking rhino. But I killed it! Yaayy" she cheered softly, now her both arms and back hurt for throwing the damn thing in the air.

As she reached the carcass she sat on the ground and layed on the ground like a star fish, "You can start, I need to take a breath. Uff" her ribs still hurt by being crushed by the rhino. Sebastian stood both confused and petrified looking at the rhino, he swore not to piss Nora off because if she can kill a rhino she can definately kill him in a blink of an eye. He shook his head and helped Nora get up, "A fucking rhinoceros?" He breathed out. Nora looked at the ludicrous Sebastian, "Dude you smashed you head against a tree or what?" She asked his preposterously.
