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
Well, that would explain why he never reacted to Bree’s advances. Reyna shook her head though she understood what he was saying, she still didn’t want to jump to conclusions, it was all too much for her to absorb what he just told her. “ Fine, even if we believe that —— what's the proof that you weren’t just trying to f*ck me out of your system?”“ I wouldn’t have held myself back if a f*ck was all that I needed from you, I gave you time to accept me, crave me and desire me before I went balls deep inside you. But I had every intention to have you, this is something that I wouldn’t refuse,” he was just so f*cking tired of fighting himself, fighting the desire that he had for her, the relentless hunger that he had for her and the desire to have her every f*cking second she was around him. Now he just wanted to stop his train of thoughts where he always believed that he couldn’t have her because she deserved better, so what if she did? He wasn’t going to give up. “ I knew it wouldn’t s
Reyna held her hand up, “ Now wait for a second——”“ There is no point, I tried walking away from you, giving you the space that you wanted, but it didn’t work and I don’t see why we need to waste our time doing it all over again, sweetheart. I don’t want to waste any more of our time when we could do something more meaningful than this and you know it too. I am done trying to play safe with you, I don’t care what's going to happen and now I won’t let you care about it either. We just need to take our chances and see where this will lead us to, that's the least we can do right?” When she didn’t look up at him, he tipped her head up so that she was looking nowhere else but him. “ Come on, Rey. If you don’t want this why don’t you look me in the eye and say that you don’t want this—— that you don’t want me.”Reyna sucked the inside of her cheek, there was no way that she didn’t want this —— she wanted it. The future that he was painting for her, it was tempting especially when she knew
After he said that Cain stood up from his chair intending to leave without saying another single word to the female sitting in front of him but Bree was hot at his heels, as she made a beeline right behind him, not letting him leave.“ Look, I just want you to listen to some things that I need to say to you, once you finish listening to it… I will never disturb you ever again, is it too much to ask of you?” said Bree as she hurried after him so close that he could smell her annoying floral scent and Cain had to admit that neither he nor his wolf liked it one bit. He didn’t turn around, nor did he say anything to her. He knew that with Bree, the more attention he gave her, the more clingy she will become, it has always been like this ever since he brought her to the pack. “ Told you, Bree, I have nothing to say to you… nor do I have any interest in you. I don’t see the point of discussing this matter any further.”She chased after him until she was walking side by side with him. “ Yo
Resisting the urge to grip the two f*ckers by their throat, Cain let out a threatening growl and jutted his chin out. His wolf backed him, relishing the fact that his human counterpart was at least trying to fight for their mate, and it damn near pleased the both of them when the two males stiffened ever so slightly. “ You know I am quite happy that you treat Reyna so well but what pisses me off is that the two of you are acting like caring uncles when the truth is that you couldn’t even save her from that f*cker who messed her life, where were you when that f*ckeed up bastard tried to force a claim on her? As you said, you two knew that Glenn was a rotten bastard who tried to tie her next to him all because he wanted her powers. If you have tried a little harder then there wouldn’t have been any need for me to intercept and play the hero—— there would be no ‘ true mate saving the damsel in distress’ scenarios playing here but you didn’t and here we are now. You didn’t even know that
“ A what?” Cain thought he heard wrongly, what was this? Not only did her uncles turn up at his territory warning him away from his mate but even this man was trying to warn him? Was he in the right state of his mind or what? How can he say something like this to him?Aron must have sensed the anger that was flickering in his eyes because he smiled in understanding and raised his hand. “ I am not here to give you any trouble Covington, I heard from my sources that there is a guy who is giving you trouble——that’s why I am here.”Now that got him sitting up straight. “ You know that guy codenamed CAT?”Aron’s eyes flickered ever so slightly as he peered over his shoulder, Cain swore that he saw a glimpse of surprise flash in Aron’s eyes before he turned to look at him again. He turned around to look in the direction in which Aron was looking and was surprised to find that Sawyer was standing there with Bree. “ I do know him,” said Aron attracting his attention and causing him to look a
“ So, did you find anything?” asked Cain going straight to the point when he saw Diskant walking through his office door. The latter rolled his eyes as he strolled inside and took a seat before picking up the water bottle on the table and taking a long swig. “ You know mate, this is why girls never liked you. You go straight to the point, you first need to at least ask if they want to go on a date to share a drink with you—— not, ‘ Hey girlie, let's f*ck.’ That’s a minus for you, you know that?”It took every bit of patience that Cain had not to smack the guy’s head. With his brows twitching, he clenched his fists and asked, “ I didn’t call you here for dating advice D, I want to know what did you find out about what’s going on with Variant house and its senators?”Diskant placed the water bottle back on the table and sighed. “I tried mate like I tried to get inside their territory and take a look but it's not child play where I can just pop in and out because I want to, the territory
Cain hurried over to her and grabbed her by her waist, pulling her from the floor. And that was when he saw what she has seen, all over the walls of their lodge were pictures pasted on them and not just any pictures—— bloodied pictures. It was a horrifying sight to watch under the moonlight that was streaming through the French window that opened to the patio on their backyard pool. Anger and tension coursed through his body as every muscle went taut in him, the pictures weren’t here when they woke up this morning, which could only mean that someone actually trespassed in their territory, broke into their lodge and actually pasted these pictures when neither of them was present. Cain could simply not believe it, after the last incident where Reyna was almost kidnapped, he has actually tightened the security around their territory even more especially around their lodge but someone was able to get past the enforcers who were supposed to be guarding the lodge and for some sick reason,
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
