RAYLA I abruptly came to a halt as Mom stood up to meet me halfway across the room and with my mind still reeling from the shock, I moved away from Damien, creating some sort of distance between himself and I. We came home to the biggest surprise, Mom was back, meaning whatever plans we had for the day were ruined. "Why are you not in school?" She asked, briefly looking at Damien, I bet she already thinks he has something to do with it. "I got into a fight at school-" I stopped not wanting to reveal too much, I glanced sideways at Damien, silently begging him to help me out. Not only was I bad at lying, I hated lying to her since she raised me to always tell the truth. "I handled it already but the president gave her a day's suspension as punishment." He turned to leave but Mom surprised me by stopping him. She smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Thank you Damien and I see you've been taking care of things around here." "Hold your hands..." He shrugged out of her hold, "Ki

RAYLA I couldn't recall the last time it had been just us having fun. We ended our mother-daughter day with a trip to the spa and by the time we arrived home late at night, I was feeling much lighter and it felt as though there wasn't a single bone left in my body. Although, I do wish she would stop teasing me about a certain boy she was convinced had eyes for me. It happened at the bar. Aside from us, they had a mother and son customer, and while our parents chatted, he said hello to me. We parted ways once we stepped into the family quarters, I went to my room still chuckling under my breath. I pushed the door open, half-expecting to find Damien there but the room was empty and I felt a tiny bit of disappointment. While we were shopping, I bought a nice black little number dress with straps. It had a sweetheart neck and happened to be very short. To top it off, I bought a very high heel since Damien happened to be tall, I had no problems with wearing heels around him. Pushing t

RAYLA I got out of the car as soon as we arrived at Blue-Ray's pack and now that I think of it, Damien had to definitely consider changing the name. I hurried up the stairs to his room but Hunter pulled me back, shaking his head while gesturing to another door. Well, I expected him to be in his room. Taking a deep breath outside the door he head pointed at, I looked over my shoulder at Hunter but he was gone! Frowning, I knocked on the door but there was no response, trying the handle I was relieved to find it unlocked. I pushed the door open, peeking into the dark room. "Damien?" I whispered into the darkness, my hand on my wall looking for a switch. I let out a scream as something or should I say someone pulled me into the dark room and slammed the door. The light flickered on and there stood Damien in a dark suit, a rose in hand. I looked past him at the scene he had prepared, there was a single candle light flickering at the center of the table. Rose petals decorated the floo

RAYLA I woke up at the sound of the alarm. Untangling my limbs from Damien, I climbed out of bed and rushed into the bathroom to wash my face. By the time I returned, he was also awake but made no move to get up. I blushed recalling last night, it had been wonderful! The talking, food fight, the wine and the make out sessions. I blinked trying to recall something my mind must have skipped but I couldn't come up with anything, even though it felt like something was missing. I gave up as I climbed the bed to place a playful kiss on Damien's forehead. "Morning sunshine, do you mind dropping me off at Fiona's? I need to get our sister ready for school." I smiled at his frowning face, I didn't need to ask to know why he was frowning: Because I called him sunshine. I looked over my shoulder at him, only to find him already staring at me. He sat up, moving behind me. "How are you feeling?" He inquired, his morning voice sending shivers of desires down my body. I cleared my throat, movin

RAYLA "So...how was your date?" Both my best friends excitedly asked me the following morning as we walked down the hallway to our first class. "It was fine," I answered absentmindedly. After what went down between Damien and I earlier this morning, my mind had been occupied with so many scenarios and I couldn't stop looking over my shoulders to see if a spy or two were tailing me. "Just fine?" Fiona frowned, it was clear in her voice that she was expecting more. I understood how she felt as well. Hell, I had woken up this morning, excited to tell them more but now I don't even want to think about Damien. "Can't you read between the lines, Fiona? It’s obvious she doesn't want to talk about it. What's going on between you two? Did the date not happen?" Kath asked, following the direction of my eyes when she saw that they were fixed in a certain direction. Just a few doors down the hall was Nyx and Damien, he had his head bent as he typed away on his phone while Nyx trailed after h

RAYLA "I have a suggestion." Alpha Jordan's voice jerked me out of my thoughts, I looked at him as he went to stand behind Mom and then clasped his hands on her shoulders. "It's been a while since we've done any activities together as a family, how about we go somewhere?" He suggested and I could already picture what Damien's reaction would be. "Or... You and Mom could just take some time to yourself?" I suggested instead. "Ah..." He let out a chuckle. "That's Rayla's way of saying she's too old to be seen hanging out with us, but no. Your Mom and I already took some time off and now we are going to be spending a few hours together, where's Damien by the way?" He repeated and this time, Damien strolled in. He paused, looking at me and back then at our parents. "I heard the private investigator died, that's one sloppy mess." He told Mom, looking so innocent you couldn't guess in a million years that he was the Alpha to some dangerous pack of rogues out there. I was still dying to

RAYLA He pulled back, breaking the kiss before I could deepen it. His fingers ran tenderly down the side of my face, staring at me with a thoughtful expression that made my heart do a series of flip-flops. "I don't want you to fight with your Mom." He admitted, causing me to jerk out of his hold. "You shouldn't have told her Rayla, she hit you and I don't want to feel like I need to defend you from her. You know what that means, I'll eventually do something that will make you hate me forever." He had a point but I didn't want to hear it at that moment. I was already sick of everyone telling me what's wrong and I'm definitely going to lose it if Damien also starts telling me. "You weren't here Damien, you didn't see or hear the way she spoke to me. The way she looked at me! I get that from everyone at school, they already look at me that way due to the rumors Brandon has been spreading but that's different! She saw me brush my fingers against yours back there, she never trusted

RAYLA “Rayla?” I glanced towards the door at the sound of Mom’s voice. “Go to your room.” She ordered and I knew she must have heard what Damien said. “Mom please!” I pleaded not wanting her to escalate the situation. I looked back at Damien who was staring at both our parents like they were the enemy! I didn’t want to choose and yet I was caught in the middle, if I choose to leave then the last thread holding this family together was going to snap and if I choose to stay…I shook my head, the last thing I would ever do is let him take the fall for something we both did. “Did any of you stop to ask me what I want or are you guys too busy making the decisions for me?” I asked, looking at Mom and then Alpha Jordan. “What you want?” Mom repeated like she couldn’t believe I said that. “Lying to me, disobeying me and putting this family to shame is what you want? Is this your way of getting back to me for how horrible of a mother you think I am?” “I want everyone out of my fucking

RAYLA I snatched my wrist from his grasp without struggle because he let me go. I looked down at my bleeding tutor hoping he’s not dead. People were out of class and staring at us with wide eyes, him most especially, I guess there goes the idea of me trying to protect him! I tried to rush to the tutor but Damien dragged me back then proceeded to take me outside of the building. “Stop!” I screamed once we were out of the parking lot. “You can’t threatened my Mom and think that’s okay! What if that man loses his life? He was just trying to protect me!” I hissed as anger stir up inside me. “Whatever beef you have is between us, you don’t have to drag other people in it.”“Are you fucking with me Rayla?” His expression turned murderous. “Well I guess this should be a consolation that your mother is still breathing right now because of you! When my Dad got married to her, I didn’t like her but did I try to get in the way of their shitty relationship? No… if she tries to get in between mi

RAYLA After Mom left, I turned to Ma, my gaze fixed on her accusingly. “You knew she was trying to get me back here, she went as far as blackmailing me and you let her?” I was disappointed, I thought she was on my side! Now the only family support I thought I had was slowly slipping away, I guess I deserve it for being such a shitty person. “You make it hard to defend you, both of you! The idea was for you to wait, I was going to talk to them but when I came later it was to find you gone. What were you thinking running off like that? Damien is the leader of a gang of rogues, do you have any idea the kind of danger you were putting yourself in?” She snapped at me, her tone filled with both anger and disappointment. “How was I supposed to defend you when you pulled a stunt like that?” “When has talking ever settled anything with them? You don’t get it do you? Ma, her blackmailing me here is proof enough that no amount of talking will achieve anything with them, it was why I chose to

RAYLA I stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand, wordlessly watching each second tickle by, my thoughts far away from me. The more minutes tickled by, the more aware of how many hours I had with Damien, who happens to be asleep. I swallowed the lump in my throat, blinking away from the alarm to look at the ceiling instead. I still felt a bit sore between my thighs, a constant reminder of what we did a few hours ago. My face heated at the memory, making me silently clear my throat as I stared out of the window, it was getting dark meaning it will be dawn soon. Slipping out of bed, I grabbed Damien’s shirt and slipped in on, looking down at the length to decide if it was okay for me to walk around in. Since I was heading downstairs where I’m bound to run into anyone, I decided to wear a skirt for added length before making my way downstairs. The place was almost empty except for a few servants going about their duties, I paused by the stairs landing. “Excuse me, do you have any

RAYLA Looking at him hurts, as we lay down side by side on the bed, so I turned my face the other way, Mom’s words echoing in my mind. Killian would be so furious when he finds out but what was I supposed to do? Finding out he killed someone at the age of seventeen had not only left me stunned but speechless because then it also proved he has been living this double life for as young as the age of seventeen. There was a pause in my thought when I felt him pull me against his chest, cuddling me softly as our limbs tangled with one another. My eyes shut on their own accord as he buried his face into the hollow of my neck, sniffing me in a way that made me tickled. One of his hands splayed across my stomach, running his fingers on my flesh lazily. I didn’t want to lie here with my own thoughts while guilt ate me alive so, I said the first thing that came to mind when I opened my mouth. “So…your first time huh?” I teased, turning to face him now, my breath hitching against my throat wh

RAYLA I stood outside the door, debating whether I should go inside or not. At the las minute, I decided it would be better to just leave him alone for the time being, I made my way back downstairs and still found Nyx in the same position I left her, except that she was sitting this time and munching on a cookie. “That was quick.” She remarked, not bothering to hide her amusement. I grit my teeth in anger,telling myself not to react because as much as I can’t stand her, I still needed her help to be able to get out of the pack due to the invisible force field she had around it. “You said the barrier will weaken tomorrow, is that correct?” I asked to be sure whether I’ll need her help with that or not. “Why? Going somewhere? Anyways the barrier won’t weaken until twelve in the morning.” She leaned closer. “You need my help.” She was quick to figure it out, possibly putting the piece together after my outburst earlier. “Isn’t that the reason you were employed? Although I don’t

RAYLA Despite our teasing remarks when we were out on a walk that indicates we couldn’t wait to get back to the house and ravished each other. Instead we decided to play monopoly once we arrived back at the house which took a dark turn pretty quickly, bringing out both Damien and Hunter's competitive side. When they voted for a second round of the game, I sweetly declined and took a step back, telling them I prefer to watch instead. Nyx had taken it upon herself to call me every synonym of the word coward, my usual response was to ignore her but Damien had merely cast her a dark look, that made her shut up immediately. While they argue and yell at each other about the game, I was texting my friends in the group chat as they brought me up to date on what has been happening at school. Apparently Brandon was still being as bitter as the day I left, he goes around telling anyone who cares to listen that I ran away with my step-brother because our parents found out about us. The fa

RAYLA I was surprised when I woke up the following morning and found Damien still sleeping, mainly because I wasn’t used to waking up in the morning and finding him there. The healer really knows her stuff because placing him on bed rest definitely forced him to relax. I slowly climbed out of bed so I didn't wake him up. Several minutes later when I emerged from the bathroom after brushing my teeth and doing my other business, he was still asleep. I went downstairs to have breakfast, Hunter was the only one present at the breakfast table when I walked in, I slumped down dejectedly on one of the empty seats. Words couldn’t describe how much I missed going to school, I missed hanging out with my friends and doing random stuff even though I never voiced it out to anyone, I mean what’s the point? Just because I made the decision to run away from home doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to miss it. I looked up upon hearing my name. “Did you say something?” I asked to be sure. “Yeah, I was as

RAYLA It was night time before Damien finally woke up and was immediately moved to his bedroom. His wound had completely healed up by then but the healer still insisted he need to be on bed rest for another three days to which Hunter had made a joke about. It was half true though because we all knew he was going to hate the idea. Guilt was already eating me alive after I finished talking to Mom and she gave me three days max, the same number of days it will take for Damien to be out of bed rest and for Nyx magic barrier to weaken.“You can’t tell Damien that I asked our parents for help.” I begged, pulling him aside so Damien wouldn’t hear us. “At least wait until I’m out of here before you do, if he knows then he will never let me leave and I can’t go back on my word.” Hunter stared at me with his arms across his chest. “What did you do? And besides, I can’t keep something like that from him, if I don’t tell him, someone else will.” He pointed out. I brushed my hair away from my

RAYLA It has been more than two hours of not hearing any news about Damien’s condition after the healer slammed the door on our face. We stood outside her room, pacing around and waiting for news when one of the border guards hurried inside toward Hunter, a panicked look across his face. “Beta! There are more troops approaching the pack from the north!” He declared and I watched as Hunter’s face darkened. “More army? That can’t be good, Damien is in no condition to fight!” I rubbed my face, hoping it would smooth away the frustration crawling at my guts and yet again I was made to wonder why Damien chose this time to announce his pack knowing how many enemies they had but then I recalled he had mentioned not too long ago that the pack was running out of supplies. “There’s no need to worry Rayla, stay here in case the healer has some news, I’ll lead our army.” He informed me before taking his leave. “Wait!” Nyx called after him and then hurried to meet him halfway across the room.
