“ Cain? Cain!” yelled Reyna then she looked over at Amber who was grinning with sadistic amusement, her eyes shining with A pleased glimmer as she purred, “ I will see you soon, Rey! Let’s see if Covington’s pack would let you stay after this.”
“ I will kill you!” shrieked Reyna as shock and rage flooded her veins. “ I will kill you, Amber. Even if I have to drag you down with me, I will hunt you down and rip that bloody heart of yours.”
“ Hmm, we will see,” said Amber as she skipped next to Glenn and curled her right arm around his waist. And Reyna had no other option but to watch the two of them leave surrounded by knight raiders, she wasn’t convinced. There was no way she would let them have the last laugh, not after what they did to Cain. However, she could do nothing, their group was seriously outnumbered though they were able to strike Glenn down, that bastard still-
“ Calm
No one said anything, though Bree did have a constipated expression on her face, she didn’t say anything. Of course, she didn’t- Cain has used his authority as an alpha to say those words, even if she didn’t want to follow his wish, there was no other option for her to do anything but that.Cain glanced at the members of his pack and then draped his arm over Reyna, “ Come on, baby.” He could sense that she wasn’t feeling good and that was why he kept her close to him as they walked side by side from the living area and headed down to their rooms. No one came after them, which was a great thing because Cain could sense his sister’s eyes focused on the back of his head. She might have not said anything yet but he knew that she will be questioning him real soon.Cain kept Reyna close all the way down to the corridor and he didn’t let go of her even when they reached their bedroom Reyna sat down on the edge of the bed w
“ Sawyer’s birthday?” Now that she thought about it Cain did bring her to shop for a gift for Sawyer but he never clearly told her the date of Sawyer’s birthday. Of course that didn’t make her angry at all, she just wanted to take a swipe at his forgetful ass and make him learn his lesson of never forgetting to tell her important dates. Fortunately, she brought something for Sawyer when she was out shopping with him just in case, or else she would have been the only one without a gift why was that? She wasn’t a good shopper when she was under pressure.Kerry must have understood what was going on in her head as she smiled and put down the balloon she was blowing. “ Look at this, that boy must have forgotten to tell you about it. He has always been like that a blockhead. Don’t worry though, he is really bad with date and time, last year he forgot his own birthday and when the boys threw him a party, his face was a mask of shock a
“ Wait for a second! I think I forgot my cellphone in the theatre,” said Mike as he patted his pockets after coming out of the theatre hall, then he turned around and ran back inside the hall from where they all stepped out from. Sawyer rolled her eyes and huffed as she looked at Cain, “ You do know that I already know that you all are preparing a birthday party for me, right? I am seventeen now not seven, I sure as hell know how things work, alright?”Cain grinned at her as he ruffled her hair. “ I know, but at least play along with them okay? They all are fairly excited to celebrate your birthday.”“Hell yes, we are.” said Diskant from behind them, he was wearing his infamous ‘drop your panties girl’ smile as he winked at the female who passed by them. Cain was surprised that he was even listening to his conversation with Sawyer when the guy was so engrossed in reeling a girl for solving his itch in the nigh
The red packet didn’t even have a name, address or even a postal stamp on it, which further intensified her curiosity. It shouldn’t have but it did, she crouched down and picked it up, tearing it open, and Reyna peeked inside the envelope. There was a written note taped inside it, as well as something shimmering inside it. Like a long silver chain.Reyna tilted the red envelope, allowing the small silvery object to fall into her hand. As soon as the silver jewellery touched her hand, Reyna’s stomach bottomed out, as if someone has scooped it and plunged it out of her body. Her eyes widened as the shock hit her first, she couldn’t believe her eyes and then a sudden wave of anger washed over her body, red, hot and furious. F*cking Glenn Mcbride.She gritted her teeth so hard that Reyna was surprised that they didn’t turn to fine dust, her fingers clenching around the piece of jewellery, Reyna was pretty tempted to wrap the chain of this neck
Reyna could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She never thought that her feelings were so transparent for others to see, in fact, she always thought that she was like a closed book, one never to be opened by anyone. But it wasn’t embarrassment that overwhelmed her senses, no it was the distinct realisation that she was in love with Cain f*cking Covington that knocked the wind out of her body. Never did she think that she will fall in love with a guy nor did she think that she will be rejected before she could even confess, it was said that eavesdropping wasn’t a good thing, not because the eavesdropper hears things that they shouldn’t but also things that they don’t like. And in her case the saying proved right, it wasn’t as if she didn’t know how things were between her and Cain, and also knew that there was no way something was going to happen between the two of them. And she never once thought that Cain had any other feeling except sy
Her ribs cracked from the impact with an agonising crack, as the coyote lunged at her again and again, cornering the wolf against a tree. Ears flat, the wolf let out a throaty rumble before the wolf snapped her teeth at the coyote’s neck and bit down. The coyote shook his head trying to dislodge her off his throat, when he saw that he couldn’t get the wolf off him, he twisted and rolled on the ground taking her along with him. And then the two furry bodies rolled down the clearing before coming to a stop. The wold stood up on her feet but her legs were weak from the drugs, that was why they were quivering so hard that they almost buckled under her. Agony seared in her nerves as black and white dots started to obscure her vision, the wolf was so tired—so woozy that all she wanted was to close her eyes and sleep. But instead, she focused her gaze on the coyote before retreating and then pouncing so fast that she crashed right against the coyote. The
Seriously, just how high can someone be that they went ahead and tried to harm someone who was under a dire wolf’s protection? It wasn’t an unknown fact that a dire wolf can kill just anyone while f*cking their shit up like a mafia boss, and that was under the scenario that he wasn’t even provoked. But this situation right here was different, Reyna wasn’t just a member of their pack but also his mate in the eyes of the dire wolf, he wouldn’t let the culprit behind this stay alive and wouldn’t be content without feasting on the blood of this man who was writhing underneath his paws. The Dire wolf wouldn’t stop until he finished what he started and Diskant had no qualms about the man being killed though it was a bit disturbing to watch the dire wolf kill its prey slowly and painfully—— but right now he needed answers.“ I know you can hear me, Cain,” said Diskant as he called to the dire wolf, hoping that Cain wo
“ Hey, Wolfie.” No matter how angry Reyna was at Cain, she would never take it out on his wolf. His wolf was not in charge of what his human counterpart does or say, so in her consideration, it was a bit childish and petty, if she ignored his wolf, all because his human rejected her and what was more with Cain’s wolf literally lying on top of her abdomen, Reyna was certain that she couldn’t ignore him even if she wanted to, skimming her hand on his fur, she smiled. “ Did you save me yesterday?”The wolf raised his head and whined at her most likely a bit upset that she was questioning his gallant act. Reyna chuckled compared to Cain, she liked his wolf better, still at a sluggish pace because of the drugs she scratched him right behind his ears. “ Hey, don’t be upset. I know you were the one who saved me.” A snort that sounded like ‘duh’ escaped from the mouth of the wolf, as he raised his head and rubbed his c
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
