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
Damien was terrified. He had never seen Dan like this and he knew that he was in trouble now. All of his possessions, his wealth, his power,and the connection he had thought he gathered would be of no use against his brother now. His brother looked like a completely different werewolf. He had to think fast. He could see the red eyes of Dan's werewolf shimmering and he knew that he was only seconds away from a fate worse than death. He quickly thought of a plan. He had remembered that his brother had a high weakness to silver and he knew that he had gotten a silver ring in his pocket. He quickly removed the ring and used the edge of his cloth as he held it up to his brother's face. He spoke in a soothing voice. "Dan, I know you are angry, but please remember that I am still your brother. I am your family. Please, I beg of you, spare me and let me go. I will never bother you or your family again, I swear." Dan snarled and growled, but the silver seemed to be having an effect. He slowl
Dan sat in his room all alone feeling the weight of the whole situation. His son's life was at stake because he knew the kind of man Mr Jones Vones was. He was ruthless and impulsive. He had worked with him for years and had every idea what the man could do. The man was a killer and he had derived joy from killing in all the murders he had done."I have to rescue Rafe" he said to himself as he stood up and paced about his room, "But what can I do?"He remembered Mr Jones Vones wanted Ivy but he did not want to send her off to Mr Jones Vones. She was a pretty and Innocent girl. How could he possibly send her off that monster?Especially now that he had possessed the powers of a werewolf. That would be suicidal for both Ivy and Rafe.He smacked his hand on his wardrobe door. This was not going to be easy for him or anyone, but it had to be done. Something told him that things would end up terribly wrong in that fight. Someone might have to die for peace to reign and he hoped it was not
