Chapter: Mating markRain's POV. My eyes are owl-wide at the spectacle before me. I can barely breathe through my nostrils, hence, my parted lips play the role. An array of tulips line the edge of the mountaintop. I step forward, admiring the beautiful flowers with every simple touch. It feels so amazing. Plucking one, I perch over my nose and sniffle, the soft scent radiating throughout my body. I can't believe Logan had this prepared just for me. I navigate through the flowers until I reach the middle where the picnic has been set. Different varieties of foods have been set up on the mat. But what literally threw me off guard was the flowers constructed with four words. I love you, Rain. That has my heart spiking and unthinkingly, I turn and peer up at Logan who's standing stiff behind me.His face is pinched with worry which surprises me. "Is something wrong?" I blurt out, gazing at him and then at the beauty sprawling around me. "I know this isn't enough, baby. Look, being ancient, I barely

Chapter: A surprise Logan's POV. "Are you sure she's going to like it?" A deep frown crease my brows as I stare at the array of tulips surrounding the makeshift bed I've made with Lester. We've been on this for a few days and now is the time it gets executed. Sure, my beta and I are ancients, so it's taking a lot for us to know modern things that are suitable for this picnic I want to take my mate on."I guess she will. Didn't you hear what the florist said? Women of this modern age love tulips." I shake my head at him, a snarky response building at the back of my throat. "She said women love flowers, but you chose to go for Tulips." His face twitches somewhere between a grown and resignation. "Well, I was guessing the Luna will acknowledge it." He quips in, shrugging his shoulders. "I hope she does, else I'm gonna make you eat those up." Lester growls at my words but I keep my expression lethal, waiting for him to spill those words lining his mouth. Quickly, he swallows it back, twisting his head

Chapter: Strange woman Rain's POV."So, students, that'll be all for today." Logan's voice booms across the class. Everyone rises up from their seats, hurrying out of the class. Kylie's hot on my tail, clearly curious about what I promised to tell her today.I wink salaciously at Logan as I shoulder past him in front of the class. His eyes burn a track on my skin, and before long, I feel my cell phone ding in my bag. "Are you going to give me the gist already?" Kylie spews out, falling into step beside me. I hold back my grin as I reach out for my phone. "Gosh, I hate that you're making me wait, ugh!" "I told you to be patient, girl...I'm still gonna tell you but it was to be done secretly." I say to her, walking backward in front of her. Her eyes home in on my face, wrinkles marring her features. "Oh, don't say I didn't warn you. You're going to crash into someone..." Just before she could finish, my back crashed into someone. A warbled cry pulls out of my mouth at the impact. A strange kind of dizzi

Chapter: Sacrifice Rain's POV.It's almost time. I peel my eyes away from the grandfather clock hanging on the wall in Logan's mansion. A strange kind of darkness surrounding me. The full moon is out, poised to suck the life out of me. My chest is so constricted, that breathing isn't in any way an option. My time on earth is almost over. I guess what I truly am is a curse after all.It's just that no one saw it in that light. If existing means someone else's death, then I shouldn't exist at all especially if it's Logan. He's the only one who ever truly loved me even before I figured out what I truly am. I puff out a long string of breath, my hand reeling over the rose with split thorn I plucked from the garden specially for Logan. Glimpsing at my father, the beta, the healer, and a few of the pack members, I stalk to the pyre that holds Logan's decaying form. The tears rush out of my eyes in rivulet, smearing the makeup on my face. Yes, I applied makeup, the last one I'd ever do. My heart is sullen

Chapter: I will do itRain’s POV.My legs give out the instant I drop Logan’s bloody form on the couch. I pant through my teeth as tears trickle down from my eyes. It’s almost sunrise, and the pack healer has woken up. He rushes to the alpha, examining his wounds. “What happened?” Ryat asks me from over his shoulders and as I open my mouth to respond no words make it out. Manageably, I shake my head. The man twists his head melancholically before scrambling around to gather his medicine bag. Just then my father and Lester shove into the house. Their bodies were covered with charcoal and grime. Panting heavily, Lester approaches the healer, his face shadowed with worry. “Is he still alive?” Heis husky voice barely vibrates in my ears over my soft sobs. I hold Logan’s hand close to my chest. “That’s what I’m checking, beta…” The man trails off when he shreds off the rest of the fabrics covering the alpha’s wounds. Immediately he sets his eyes on it, a frown curls his lips. He hunkers low and plucks a le

Chapter: I can't lose himRain’s POV. Riot leads me far into the woods, taking me where I do not know. Despite how much I yell for us to go back to Logan’s mansion, my Lycan refuses. We work on instinct, prodding into the heart of the woods. Distant cries of pain fill my ears, urging me to probe forward. My lycan bounds towards the direction of the cries, heart-wrenching at the pains they feel. Who are they? Why do I feel an in-depth connection to them? Regardless, I shove through the woods, and the remaining parts of my body yet to transform spring forth. My long tail scraping across the barks of trees and over the ground. My corded muscles flex with each step I take, and the whooshing night air slips through my furs, offering me bouts of comfort over the foreign feeling grazing my inside. The moon forges on ahead of me, serving as a map guiding me to the direction my lycan is heading to. Riot releases a long howl the moment we step into the pack of wolves. Their houses are in total disarray and litera
