Ivy was still thinking when Rafe moved. She did not want to seem to be awkwardly staring at her. If he was really Rafe, it would have seemed romantic but for a man who was Rafe's uncle, that would be awkward and embarrassing. She would have to cover her face in shame. "Why are you by my bed side?" Dagger sat up as he rubbed his eyes together. He yawned and then proceeded to look at Ivy. Ivy could see that he even cloned Rafe's eyes. His powers were truly wonderful."I woke up and was so confused. I was almost convinced that you were Rafe. You look just like him. Even your voice sounds just like him. Your werewolf powers are so incredible," she said as she extended her arms and grabbed the nearest chair to seat beside him."Were you born with them or were they something you got along your revenge path?" She was curious to know if she could get them as well.Dagger smiled and then answered. He told her he was born with them. He liked the curiosity he saw in her eyes. She reminded him o
Rafe's father, Dan unexpectedly and he had almost blown their cover when Ivy stood up to try to handle the situation. "I meant me. I would get revenge on Mr Jones Vones. That's what I intend to do. You heard him speaking as though he was me" Ivy quickly said."Hmmm.. if you say so. I'm just glad Rafe is back and fine. You had me worried for a second there, Son" Dan said as he patted his son's back. Dagger felt uncomfortable being touched by his brother but he could not afford to blow his cover.Rafe's father, Dan, felt the need to check his son's neck for temperature, "I hope those doctors checked you well. I would not want anything bad happening along the way. Have they?" He asked as he moved his hand from Dagger's face to his forehead and then rubbed his head. All the while he did that, Dagger struggled to not slap his brother's hand off his face. Ivy stared at him, her eyes opening as Rafe's father, Dan moved his hand across Dagger's face. She knew Dagger hated him more than anyth
Ivy smiled at Rafe's father as she watched him turn his back and walk out the door. It was going to be a long night for her, and an even longer night for Dagger who was pretending to be his nephew, Rafe.She could only imagine.As Ivy and Rafe's father, Dan made their way to the car, Raymond and Dagger had already entered into the car waiting for them. Raymond was seated at the driver's seat and Dagger at the passenger's side."You know I don't like you right…?" Raymond said to his brother. He had been observing his brother for a little while now and something arranged seemed up with 'Rafe' "I don't like you but I am concerned about you bro. What's going on? You seem different. I mean… "he sighed,"....I mean you seem more different than usual. Is something wrong?" He turned to his brother to face him fully. " Or are you acting this way because of you are with Ivy ? Is she the reason you like this?" He asked Dagger with full concern. Dagger seemed to sense that there would be a prob
Dagger was brought back to consciousness when his father called his name again. "Rafe?!! What are you doing? What the hell?!!" His father yelled. The situation was embarrassing and slightly inconveniencing as Dagger did not know what to do. He simply stood there, stuck in his movement. What could he possibly do?Raymond looked at his father and then at Ivy and then at him. He was just as stunned as everyone else. After about a minute of everyone standing where they were and Silence wavering in the air, Ivy broke the silence. "Rafe, my love. You must be mistaken. I am over here. Come to me. That's your mother." She said as she reached out to pull his hand. Dagger felt relieved inside him. He truly did not know how he would get out of the situation. Everyone was fully present and had seen him. He knew he could not lie his way out of it, nor could he say he was blind. He smiled as he grabbed Ivy's hand.Ivy whispered to him. She knew he had messed up and had an idea for him on how he c
Ivy stood there as she watched Raymond turn his back to enter their house. He was really reminding her that he still had eyes for her. She thought all that had died away when his brother, Rafe had shown everyone publicly that he was going to have her as his mate. Obviously, her thoughts were wrong.Ivy had been standing there, mouth slightly open when she discovered she was the only one left outside and so, she quickly went inside. As she opened the door to their living room, she saw everyone was seated on the couch. Everyone except Dagger, who was still assumed to be Rafe.Dagger sat by the window and was staring outside.Raymond, who had been on a chair across the door, watched Ivy enter. When their eyes met, he winked at her–sending her the creeps. She did not want that and she had no one to complain to because the real Rafe was not present. She simply swallowed hard and took a seat.The 'R' family was complete as the little children ran in to greet their supposed elder 'brother',
Dan sighed and looked at his family. It had been a long time since he had spoken to them about his brother, Uncle Damien. He had been a great man, his father's favorite, and had been a pillar of strength in the family. But something had changed when it was his time to be alpha and he did not want to admit it. The family had been blessed with strength and everything else and he, Dan had enjoyed all the fine things of life but unfortunately, when it came to women, he was not so lucky.He had searched high and low, far and wide and even in other packs for a mate and could not find one and so he nearly gave up being an Alpha but then his friend suggested something.At the time, Damian had a girl he had picked as his mate and everyone knew her with him but he was not to be the next alpha, Dan was, and so, Dan's friend suggested that Dan talk to Damian about giving him his mate. It was for the good of the pack after all.Dan took the idea to their father who was the alpha at the time and t
Rafe's father stood to his feet as he realized who was speaking to him. Dagger was no longer the Damian he knew. He no longer looked like the young boy who was naive and threw tantrums whenever he did not get what he wanted. Before him now was a full grown man."What are you doing here? And how did you become my son?" He asked his brother."I intended to stay low and watch how everything played out but your lies became too much for me to lay back and do nothing about. How could you tell your children nothing but the truth? How dare you?!!" He shouted to Dan.Raymond, Ivy and Marie were too stunned to speak and so was Dan, his brother but he had to do something and so he walked up to his brother."Before I say anything to you, where is my son? Where is Rafe right now?!" He said as he looked into Dagger's eyes.He turned to Ivy."You!! Did you know of this?! Did you know that this was not the real Rafe?! That it was him?!" He pointed to Dagger's chest.Ivy wanted to say something but Da
Rafe's father, Dan, had bitten his lower lip to stop himself from talking or saying anything stupid. As his brother stood before him, he felt a wave of different emotions. He did not know if to be grateful or sad. His brother's presence reminded him of the past that transpired between the two of them. The night he had banished his only brother because of the alpha duties he had to carry out. Everyone looked at it from Damian's perspective but if they could just look at it from his, they would see that he too went through a lot. "I followed you and saw that he had taken you under his wing and so, one day, when he had asked you to go on an errand, I had asked to speak with him. I asked him to protect you. I begged him to take you as a special person and protect you for me. If you could only see how I humiliated myself because of you. I fell on my knees to ask a human to please not send you on deadly missions and for him to invest in you. I was an alpha to my pack, but a beggar to a hum
