Rainn
I sat back against a tree in the forest after shifting into my human form, I was so pissed off right now because I knew that regardless of what I said or did to protest against becoming queen, the truth was I had very little choice unless I had someone to take my place.
And as there weren’t too many Gaian’s born with the symbol, it kind of left me stuck in between a rock and a hard place.
Suddenly I felt his presence before he even made it known, Beau came up to me and without speaking went to sit down beside me as he leaned against the same wide tree.
He sat there for a while without saying a word, I appreciated that about him, he wasn’t pressing me for anything, he merely allowed me to be.
Finally, I couldn’t stand the silence any longer,
“You know what this will mean right,” and it wasn’t so much a question to Beau as it was me trying to come to terms with it myself.
“You were born with the symbol Rainn,
I definitely felt a lump in my own throat when I wrote the end of this episode, let me know what you thought about it?
Kai It was a two-hour drive back to tribe Fianna, the last time I made this drive a few days ago was with Rainn by my side. We had been so sure that we were mates, so sure that we would always be together. We had come to fetch Fala from tribe Fianna to hopefully find her true mate, and here I was bringing her back as her true mate. To say that I was slightly nervous to meet Alpha Burton was an understatement, but with his strange disappearance, my own anxieties were of little worry right now. I could see the deep worry and concern laced all over Fala’s face, my beautiful mate. I still couldn’t believe that she was mine, I missed Rainn, of course, I would, she was my best friend. But Fala I mean come on, she’s my fated mate and I’m already falling head over feet in love with her. What’s not to love, she’s everything I could ever desire in a mate. She’s kind, caring, gentle, sweet, and let’s not forget, she’s fucki
Rainn After Beau rushed me back home to our packhouse in an absolute panic, both my mom and dad were completely shocked by the story Beau had told them. All the while I kept standing there with my arms around myself for support, I was shivering and must have looked quite the sight. Never in a million years had I thought that being intimate with my mate up in his childhood bedroom, would result in something like this. The thought of Beau discussing our most intimate moment with my parents should have made me cringe where I stood, but it didn’t, I guess it didn’t because he hadn’t even gotten to the scary part as yet. Both my parents looked completely confused by the story he was telling them, and if Beau’s mom wasn’t standing right beside me holding me tightly to her side I guess I might have fainted. Because I felt lightheaded and incredibly strange from head to toe, but it was the moment when Beau held up
Rainn The tension was thick in the room, and it was clear that Beau was on the brink of losing control over his wolf. He stood beside me and his body was vibrating as his hands became fisted by his side, Beau was staring my parents down and I felt confused by his sudden hostility towards them. Leaning my hand over to touch Beau’s arm I tried to calm him down, he turned his face in that instant to look at me and the shimmer of his wolf was right there, about to burst through the front door of his soul. “Beau, hey… calm down, what’s up with you. It’s alright okay, just calm down,” my eyes were pleading with him and I could see he was doing all that he could to pull his wolf back. Closing his eyes he steadied his breathing, I remember thinking how remarkable it was that he had such self-control when his wolf was already so close to the surface. It was my mom who spoke up next as she took a slow and careful st
Rainn “Blue.” My answer is nonchalant and completely disinterested as I sit at the kitchen table with my laptop open in front of me, mom raises a brow as she huffs. “Blue and?” Her reply is suddenly laced with irritation at my general lack of interest, but I don’t reply as my mind solely concentrates on my end year essay final, which is due today. Even though our pack is completely separate from the rest of the world for most of the part, we still have schooling it’s just run by our very own pack teachers. This means our schooling is a lot different from that of any normal human, that said, I have no personal experience with what “normal” school was like back before life changed. I was told the day I was born was when our pack completely closed itself off from the world, being right up against the Canadian border and deep within the mountains made it easier to escape the world somehow. Our alliance with tribe Fia
Rainn What is Gaia… what is Gaia… what is Gaia? I keep repeating the question to myself like the concept of it has somehow eluded me, I’ve been prepared since birth and the moment my mother and father discovered the children of Gaia symbol branded against the palm of my hand, like a signature to a debt I had to pay for without even being given a choice whether or not I would actually want to pay it. No one asked me if I even wanted the so-called privilege or not because being born with the symbol automatically makes you obligated to the title. I’m standing before the tall mirror in my bedroom staring at my reflection in a white boho dress that runs all the way down to my feet, the navy indigo lines that crisscross as they cascade down the fabric itself is exactly perfect for me and it hugs my body perfectly it all the right places, making my small frame look more like a woman than a girl. My dark hair is hanging d
Beau My eyes shoot open to the loud panting beside me in bed, still feeling slightly disorientated I sit up with a start as my eyes land on Rainn, she's sitting upright in bed with her hands wrapped around herself, her eyes wide open and gazing ahead as if she's left the present and replaced it with a reality I can't see. Protectively I stretch out my hand to touch her shoulder, but the moment that she flinches away from me my brows furrow with concern. "Baby, what's wrong?" I exclaim as I stare at the faraway look in her eyes. She isn't there, not really. As her face turns away from me she stretches her hands out in front of her as she begins to mumble something in a language I can't place, not until I lean in closer and realize that the language she's mumbling is Gaian. Immediately grabbing for my phone beside me I begin to record what she's saying, she keeps repeating this one sentence over and over again as she seems t
Rainn I woke up to find Beau missing from my bed, furrowing my brow I sit upbringing the blanket up to cover my breasts. Wiping the sleep from my eyes I wonder where he could be, I must have passed out cold after last night. The thought of how amazing he was and how connected I felt with him instantly heated up the clenching knot of excitement deep within my core, I love everything about Beau... His smell. His scent. His eyes, nose, lips... his body, tattoos... I felt the fluttering of excitement dance across my skin and immediately needed him, but where was he? At that very moment, the door slowly opened and the man of my dreams suddenly appeared holding a tray with what smelt like- "Pancakes," I breathed as shimmers of gold began floating across the irises of my eyes. A massive grin spread across his face as he took in my form on the bed, "Hey, sleepyhead, I thought I'
Rainn It was ridiculous to feel nervous about something like this, I mean Beau and I were already mated right, we had already given ourselves to one another right. So then why did I have a hundred butterflies swirling around in my belly at the very thought of us allowing our wolves to mate with one another, was it because of their animalistic attributes that I suddenly had reservations about the whole thing. Again that was just daft right? So Beau had told me to go ahead into the woods, he wanted his wolf River to come and find Kala because River was all hunter when it came to tracking something down that he really wanted. I decided to not make it easy on River, so I masked my scent splashing droplets of scented lavender and citrus all around the area before finally making my way further and much deeper into the thickest part of the woods. If River was going to find me I wanted it to be based on him working
RAINN It's the next morning and I haven't seen Beau, he never came home last night after he stormed out of the pack house. I can't remember ever seeing him so upset, and yes, I know I messed up big time. Laying in bed I'm in no mood to even get up, I know I have a lot to do today, there's pack business to attend to, tribe rituals to adhere to, and in the mix of all the chaos, I'm weirding out over some guy I'm connected whom I don't even know. And on top of all of what's already so overwhelming, I had to find Beau's tipping point, kissing Kai... I'm so stupid, why would I even do something like that? I love Beau with all my heart and soul, kissing Kai was a stupid mistake, a moment in which I stumbled. And why? Closure for something I had with him since I was born, something I thought would always be ours. The moment I looked into his eyes and saw the gutwrenching pain in them, I instantly felt guilty for the happiness I had with Beau. I acted and he reacted, the only thing I felt w
Rainn The moment Kai and I barge into the packhouse I'm literally feeling like I can't breathe, I'm clutching on to the drawing we just dug up, a picture I drew when I was just a kid, the most startling part is the name attached to it, Groban. As if sensing my distress, Beau comes rushing out of the kitchen in an instant with Fala right behind him, she looks a mess, her perfect pixie-like complexion tells me that she's been crying, but I can't focus on that right now because it feels like I'm about to have an out of body experience at any second. You know the moment you realize that you've known about something far longer than you thought you had, but that somehow you had just forgotten about it, yeah it's like that except worse. I feel like puking as I fall into Beau's arms, not being able to even get out one single word. It's Kai who ends up speaking because as pissed off as he is right now about the whole Fala situation, I'm the one having the panic attack. "What the fuck is go
RainnI find Kai halfway down the dirt road and I start running to catch up to him, I call out to him but he doesn't stop, he's marching off towards his parents' house and I know I have to stop him, he can't go barging in there with his wolf ready to take someone's head off."Kai!" I'm shouting his name now as I pick up the pace, but he's still not stopping or answering me. My wolf feels annoyed and I suddenly start sprinting towards him, and as I'm about to crash into him he swings around to face me which causes me to do just that.My body collides against his hard chest with an oomph as he grips my shoulders to steady me from falling, my eyes fly up to meet his hardened stare on mine."Go home, Rainn, I need to be alone." His voice sounds cold and disconnected and it feels like being punched in the gut to see him in so much pain, "I can't do that, best friends don't leave each other when the other one is hurting." My words come out hopeful, hopeful that he would allow me to be ther
RainnBeau and I made our way downstairs twenty minutes later after we had gone for a quick shower and changed into some fresh clothes, the looks we got from Fala were enough to make me feel completely self-conscious. If not for the fact that my mate was standing right beside me I know I would have completely turned beetroot red."Um, so who wants coffee?"Honestly, I didn't know what else to say, the fact that both Kai and Fala had walked in on Beau and me having sex was more than I could take, not so much Fala but Kai... ah man that was one moment in my life I wanted to erase right there and then."So you guys ready to discuss the reason we're here?" Kai seemed slightly annoyed, more than he was before."Of course, let's get something to drink, coffee, tea?" Beau asked before I even could.It felt really strange having Beau waiting on anyone in the packhouse, but especially his own brother. How things had cha
RainnMy eyes flew up to meet Kai's as my mouth went completely slack, I was trying to read him right now but he seemed so calm, what did he mean that he knows, and are we even talking about the same thing right now. We surely couldn't be talking about the same thing because if we were then he wouldn't be this calm. He would be shouting and screaming at Fala, surely right?"What do you mean, you know?"Kai looked down at me as he smirked, wiping stray tears from my cheek he gently placed a peck against my nose,"Your face goes all puffy when you cry, but you're still the most beautiful girl, you know that?""Stop changing the subject, Kai, what do you know?" My brows furrowed as I pulled my face back to show my point of irritation, sighing he furrowed his brow in response,"I know about the deal Fala made, I know what her mom did, I overheard them talking about it just the other day.""And yet you'
Rainn The moment we got back to the packhouse, as we laughed and jokingly made our way in through the front doors we were instantly met with curious eyes, the eyes of- "Kai, Fala... what are you two doing here, aren't you meant to be looking for..." My eyes immediately widened in horror as I stared at Fala wide-eyed, "You're dad, he isn't... is he?" Grimacing she shook her head, "No, I mean we still haven't found him, not even a trace. It's like he just vanished somehow." Sensing her anguish I nodded as I gestured for us all to go in toward the kitchen, "Come on, I'll make us all some coffee and tea." Everyone including Beau followed behind me as I led the way, and the moment that I reached up to get the cups off the shelf Beau was right there leaning up further to reach them for me. Huffing I shook my head as I smirked, "Sucks to be short, I swear I keep wanting to move
