Cain did his best not to stiffen at the sight of Bree who was standing outside his door with an anxious expression, with all that antsy jittering and fingers twiddling. “ Bree, it's late why don’t you——”He has hardly begun speaking when Bree caught hold of his arm as she hurriedly pulled him with her. “ Cain! Its Sawyer! She——”A bad premonition rose in Cain’s heart. “ What happened to Sawyer? Wasn’t she fine just now?” Well, his sister was indeed alright when he saw her in the main lodge just half an hour ago. She was even willing to act all sassy and sarcastic with him when she saw him arrive, with her phone in her hands she relayed a piece of stupid news about how a female shredded her mate’s cock into minced meat all because he failed to get her the anniversary gift she wanted—— most likely, she was foreshadowing about what was going to happen to him, since he didn’t bring back any information that was going to prove helpful to Reyna. Bree didn’t look relaxed at all, with her fa
Once everyone was gone, Reyna cautiously made her way over to Sawyer’s wolf, Sawyer must have sensed her presence because her wolf raised her head and looked at her. “ Hi, there,” said Reyna as she sat beside Sawyer and gave her a friendly smile, the wolf didn’t react other than rolling her eyes and looking away after a brief glance. “ Memories are weird things, aren’t they? No matter how much we want them to forget, they remain, like lingering regrets. And if you ask me it doesn’t even make any sense like why should I keep something with me that hurts? But no matter how hard I want to forget those memories they stay, right here.” She tapped her forehead with her forefinger while looking at the she-wolf who was pretending not to hear a thing she was saying. “ I was sixteen when Glenn forced himself on me.” Snap. The wolf whirled her head in her direction, and for a second her eyes flashed human and Reyna knew that Sawyer was listening to her, she curled her lips in a derisive smile,
“Sawyer! Are you okay?” Cain had been waiting with the rest of the pack in the main lodge when Sawyer turned up, she looked visibly upset but not in pain and that was a great relief to him. “ I am so glad that you are okay, I was worried——”“ Yeah, I know. I was in wolf form Cain, not in coma, I heard most of what you said,” snorted Sawyer as she hugged the jacket that was wrapped around her, only then did his gaze rake over his sister’s body and he realised that this denim jacket that Sawyer was wearing belonged to Reyna. “ She came to see you?” asked Cain, he tried not to feel upset but it was impossible, he had given an order to Reyna and he had expected her to follow it but leave it to her for defying it like he was speaking farts and the alpha in him was obviously upset, he knew that Reyna meant well but what if her appearance had triggered Sawyer further? What if something unfortunate had happened? His sister rolled her eyes at him and then turned to Kerry. “ Aunt, can you pre
Cain felt the snap of the pack link being broken just as his wolf let out a painful howl inside his head the one that made his entire body quiver with pain, damn it. He never thought that Reyna would pull a stunt like this but then again he has given her enough reasons to make such a decision. His wolf lunged at his surface so hard that Cain stumbled. If not for Diskant who helped him up, he would have fallen straight to the floor. His head was pounding and the blood that was roaring in his body was calling the predator in him the chase after her.Cain tried to control his instincts, if he lost his control then it would be a matter of life and death but his wolf didn't understand a thing, to him Reyna‘s running away from the pack was like a betrayal. She was his, to begin with, what was the point of denying it? And to run away from him? That was like asking for death. He has put his mark on her, how can she break the link and run from them? If they can't even chase her down then wh
The sudden move took Reyna by surprise, as the impact caused the latter to take a tumble on the ground. She prepared herself for the fall but then the wolf behind her twisted and changed the direction of their fall, cushioning the impact. Instead of falling to the ground, Reyna fell on the hard and sturdy board of muscles but as the familiar scent that she both hated and loved started to fill her nostrils,she knew that she would rather have kissed the ground than lie on this bastard’s chest.“ Let go of me!” snarled Reyna as she harshly slapped Cain’s shoulders, but the guy was so tough that her slap would have felt like a tickle to him. He didn't budge nor did he flinch at her sudden slap, instead he continued to stare at her with such an intense naked ferocity that Reyna felt like she was being silently devoured.“You left me,” said Cain like he was accusing her of dire malediction. His eyes hungrily grazed over her face, his gaze at first was locked on her eyes but then they trail
Cain gritted his teeth, he couldn’t understand why Reyna had to bring the deal. He knew that he messed up but he has always been one of those guys who would fuck up even without wanting to. He knew that she was right but why was it that she gotta be the one in the right? Alright, he fucked up but that was because he was too worried about his sister, he got that but he just wants her to listen to him for Damn five seconds instead of jumping the gun like this. It wasn't as if he was asking him to give him her kidney or let him push his foot up in his ass. Dominant females and their stubborn streak. As much as it infuriated him that she has tried to run away from him, Cain couldn’t bring himself to hurt her. A part of him wanted to tie her up in chains so that she will never think of running again from him ever but he couldn’t do that, he couldn’t hurt Reyna like Glenn. He had a hard time reining his wolf who was riding him so hard asking him to claim Reyna and put an end to the entire
After saying this, Reyna pushed him off and walked away but Cain caught her just as she was about to leave and curled his arms around her, pulling her back to his chest. “ You are right, I am sorry.”“ Roll up that sorry and shove it up to your——”He sighed and turned her around so that she was facing him, kissing her hair, he cupped her face. “ Believe it or not, I came after you because I realised that that I can’t make do without you. And no, I am not saying it because I need your powers to control my emotions…I don’t think that I can make do with it anymore.” He skimmed down and kissed her lips lightly, so lightly as if he was worried that he will break her. “ I want you, Reyna.”Ah, shit. Reyna swore her heart went haywire crazy the second he said those words. It was thudding against her chest like it was trying to break free of the reins that were holding it back. “ Look, Cain…” but he didn’t listen to her, he was right there in her face as he slowly crowded her against the tree
Reyna was just as stunned as her wolf who have gone so shell shocked that she even forgot to swipe her claws at Cain’s wolf who was pressing against his surface. Her mouth dropped open just like her wolf as she stared at him, “ Are you kidding me? This is a joke right?”“ You are not leaving me.”“ Cain, you can’t stop me——”“ Oh I can sweetheart and I am going to stop you, no matter what you have to say about it,” said Cain just as his Dire wolf stretched out his claws and slammed against his surface, eyes lighting up like fiery red of the forest fires. The wolf stared down at her with unshakable resolve, his glare bold and unflinching…. It was enraged that she has tried to run away from him and he was now giving her a sensible option to shut up, back down and stop fighting him again and again. But there was something more than just anger in those eyes, something devilish that made goosebumps break all over her skin and caused her breath to hitch in her throat—— the possessiveness w
Her father escorted her out of the lodge, down the patio and through the trees on the path that led to the artificial lake sitting in the middle of the forest. That was the spot where the two of them first realised that they were mates, both of them thought that the mating ceremony would be a lot more meaningful if they were to hold it there. As they walked past the last of the trees and entered the clearing near the artificial lake, she noticed that the rest of the pack was sitting on both sides of the aisle and at the end stood Cain together with Diskant who has very gracefully —— that was to say fought with the other enforcers to get the spot as Cain’s best man. Behind the podium was Aron who was going to play the role of the priest and let them exchange their mating ceremony vows. Her father stopped at the start of the aisle and then turned to look at her before clearing his throat. “ I will say that I am not a fan of that emotionally unstable wolf—-”“ Dad” Reyna rolled her ey
As both wolves jumped at each other Nolan and Daniel who were waiting for their chance rushed in before they slashed open the shifter-resistant ropes freeing Valentina and Mike but they left Daxton tied without even looking at him causing her mother to angrily hiss. “ Daniel, don’t make me hurt you.” Only then did Daniel free her father who sat up straight and despite looking rather worn out glared at Daniel. “I got you, honey,” once Nolan was done slicing the ropes that were bounding her with a pocket knife and pulled her away from the fight as he noticed that the coppery scent of the blood seemed to have seeped through the very pore of the wooden warehouse. But Reyna wasn’t the slightest bit nauseated by the thick scent of blood, no …all the blood, growls and hatred that was oozing out of Cain at the moment was inciting her wolf who snarled and clawed in the air urging the wolf to take the wolf’s head off in just one big chomp. Even as she and her parents moved away from the brawl
Cain stood there in front of her with eyes coldly glinting as he looked at Robin, his mouth was curled in a cruel snarl but he didn’t move probably because Robin had his man point a gun at her parents. Robin chuckled with a harsh bite to his laughter. “ You are really good, Covington. You found us much faster than I have expected you would. It’s a shame though I was hoping for a final climax before sending you away.” Cain’s nostrils flared as he stared at Robin without blinking his eyes. “ You won’t kill them,” said Cain, his voice was carefully controlled but Reyna could sense the anger brimming off him and why wouldn’t he? The man just watched another male try to claim his mate overriding his claiming mark. “ If you do, then Reyna would never go with you, you know that right?” “ I wouldn’t like to kill anyone here,” said Robin. “ But will I kill everyone in this room including myself? I will. If that's what stops you from taking her away from me? I will do that definitely. Esp
Reyna stared at Bree with a disgusted expression. “ You are … have you ever seen anything past your own selfishness? Did you even care about what happened because of your stupid desires? Sawyer almost lost control of her wolf! And if that isn’t the worst thing, two enforcers died——”“ They were not supposed to die!” snapped Bree with her eyes looking a bit feverish. “ I never asked the loners to kill the pack mates, but they were in their way and they … and Gerald found out that it was me because when the two females couldn’t get past them without hurting either of them, they called me and he..he heard my voice and threatened to tell Cain. I couldn’t…I couldn’t, I couldn’t let him go, it’s his fault for being too nosy.”“Nosy? It was you who asked those loners to kill them! And for what they heard your voice? Then you should have taken the consequences of your actions like the good person you act!” Bree looked at her with eyes that were glowing and panted hard. “ I am a good person,
“ I saw that Robin guy go in there,” said Diskant as he jumped down from the tree. “ He was still wearing the mask of Mike but he didn’t look like him at all, that faint swagger and those haunting eyes, he looks like some corpse or something, I swear I felt a chill crawl up when I saw his face. Like how can somebody be this expressionless, and here I thought that Reyna was exaggerating when she said that the guy was as much of an emotional fool as a dead body. Turns it she was right,” at Cain’s glare, he cleared his throat and continued, “Anyway that’s not what is important, it’s that the guy went in that old warehouse and I cannot see anything past that, can’t catch a glimpse of what’s going inside.” “ He is keeping Reyna there, that’s all I need to know,” Cain flexed his jaw as he stared at the warehouse with a calm that his body and wolf both didn’t have. His body was burning with a kind of energy that was enough to drive him crazy. He was no longer as anxious as before but he was
The wolf under Cain dragged a figure into the light —— Damn it. It was Bree who was being dragged on the broken wooden floor, gagged, bounded and with her face swollen like she has been beaten badly but at least she wasn’t bleeding and with her shifter healing she was slowly getting better. Her eyes shot to Reyna and at once Reyna was able to feel the fear, trepidation and dread that was coursing through Bree. Her eyes were darting around madly and her mouth seemed to be working nonstop but Reyna wasn’t able to understand a single word. Reyna sucked in a breath through her nose, with her mouth taped she had no other choice. She peered at her parents who were lying unconscious and a surge of anger and grief rose in her heart, if she could she would have killed Robin here and now for touching her parents but she couldn’t no matter how much she tried to struggle against the ropes she couldn’t, all she could do was to glare at Robin who smiled back at her with a feverish glint in his e
Cain had to admit that it was one of the hardest things that he had to do, but he did as Diskant told him to because f*ck him —— Diskant was right. He has to keep a clear mind if he wanted to deal with Robin. But God help him because he didn’t believe he would be able to do it. He drew in a breath as he turned to his enforcers, “ Robin is probably taking Reyna where he is keeping her parents, if my hunch about him is right, he would want her to see the condition of her parents so that her spirit might be crushed. We need to follow that car and wait for the right time to barge in when their guard isn’t up.” Nolan snorted as he got up from the ground. “ He is a f*cking idiot, if he thinks he can crush my Reyna’s spirit, she takes after her mother and nothing can crush her.” “Damn right,” muttered Daniel as he rolled his sleeves and got ready to punch some shifters’ butts. Then he turned to Cain and patted him on the shoulder. “ Don’t worry, he might have her but he wouldn’t be able
If the smoke hasn’t caused the wooziness to sweep away all the senses in her head, blurring her vision and fogging her thoughts, she might have been able to fight the effects of the chloroform ..maybe she could have used her powers to take care of the intruder but then her world started to spin, tilt and with a loud bang darkness fell all over. As she fell, she was aware of the other females whimpering and fighting their way to stay conscious but the dose of the chloroform was too strong for any of them to stay awake. Reyna wanted to fight and protect the other females that were her responsibility as the Alpha female… wanted to yell at the bastard to leave the rest of the females alone but she couldn’t even open her eyes much less speak. Her raging wolf, snarled and swept her claws in the air wanting to shift but she couldn’t free herself, she wasn’t able to fight the darkness that was falling and swallowing her completely.Hidden in the dense forest, behind the tall and canopied tre
Reyna felt shitty because no matter how much she tried to focus on whatever story that Kerry was trying to tell her, she couldn’t get a word in her head of it, she knew that the older woman was trying to get her mind off Cain but with her occasional zoning out there was nothing she could do… she just couldn’t concentrate. She had thought that with so many people around her she would be fine but to her surprise, she was distracted. In fact, it was better to say that she wasn’t even surprised, with her mate infiltrating a secret hideout of a pack that was involved in criminal activities… it was hard to think of anything else. She couldn’t stop obsessing over what Cain was doing whether he was fine or not.. what if Robin was there and sensed his presence then what was he going to do?Reyna found herself chugging down mugs of coffee, crossing and uncrossing her legs and she was feeling so damn edgy with all the emotions that were pouring in and out of her, it was as if she was hyperventi
