Cain stared at her for two seconds before crouching down and letting go of Agnis, he was intensely aware of the female in front of him. Reyna unnerved him in a way like no one else but the thing was he unnerved her too but not in a sense he would like it. She didn’t trust him or more like she didn’t trust him in the fact that he won’t hurt her which annoyed the fuck out of him- he might be many things but he will ever hurt his female. He wasn’t a sadist and nor did he like the sound of pain, it was an insult far worse than being called a murderer, he have to take it slow because he wanted her eyes to be dazed with the pleasure he will be giving her instead of fear and trepidation “ why don’t you tell me? It’s not like that you can’t say it?”
Like she will ever say it, it will only embarrass her even further. Does she look like a stage five clingy ex? Who will beg him to take her?“It's not relevant&rdReyna had kept her head held high when she walked in the dining room, she would have loved having a small dinner in her own room, one because she was a great cook, after living with her mother for so long it didn’t take long for her to take up cooking as a hobby and secondly if the other members of the pack were just as unfriendly as Sawyer then she didn’t see the point in making herself physically miserable by staying near them. However, Cain had personally invited her to be there and it would be rude to turn him down but that wasn’t alone, she didn’t want that jackass Bree to think that she has scared her into hiding by filling up Sawyer’s ears. Although Reyna didn’t want to waste her time in gaining their approval, she didn’t want to be seen as a doormat either, if she let others see that she was acting spineless, then it wouldn’t take long for Bree to pounce on her.In the open Kitchen, Cain, Diskant and two other males
“ Yes this is exactly what I call a peaceful dinner, “ said Reyna as she gave a sweet smile to Cain who for just the hell of it delivered a sharp nip to the tip of her nose before drawing the dish with wild Alaskan salmon towards him “ I am sorry about that she is being a pain in your ass but she will come around eventually once she realizes that you are a valuable addition to the pack” “ A temporary addition, Cain...I Don’t know whether you paid attention or not but your sister seems kind of pissed about their ‘ temporary’ tag that I currently have stapled on my body… which means she will never like me no matter how good of addition I am “said Reyna on her meatloaf before she frowned and sulkily added “it's too dry.. not that I am complaining “
“ Excuse me? What does that supposed to mean? It's not like I am trying to question you or anything but I think I have done a pretty good job” she said with a smile that shrunk the second when she met with his gaze” look, I get it that you are unhappy that Sawyer wasn’t polite with-““ Polite? A Lot like uncivilized, right? Reyna isn’t here because she wants to nor has she begged me to take her in, she might be in a perilous situation but she has more guts than any of us can give her credit for, she is here because I was the one who made the deal to her, so tell me why is it that despite my warning, Sawyer seemed to have completely disregarded my order and was still hostile to Reyna?”Bree took a deep breath a
“ Did you say something to Bree?” Asked Diskant as he stepped inside the office after Bree left, he was looking over his shoulder seemingly finding it quite amusing” she looks pissed as hell like you killed her mother or something”A muscle ticked in Cain’s Jawa which happened always when Diskant was around him, he can’t be blamed for that the guy was just too much of a pain in the ass, Cain was sure that under that smiling face was a sadistic freak who liked seeing others suffering “ I bet you are enjoying this?”Diskant shrugged as he walked inside the room and took a seat opposite to him “ I always told you that she was looking for being just more than a healer to you, I don’t even need to bet anything that she was hoping that one day you will f*ck her”Cain grimaced, he hadn’t known that. He had always seen Bree as nothing but a healer who cam help Sawyer become normal again, n
Reyna was in a better mood after she had her short run. The feeling of cold breeze against her face and the smell of the forest had left her and her wolf in a kind of solitude, never once did she expect her mood to go downhill again but then again - Mikey probably wasn’t doing it deliberately. He might not even have the idea that his self-loathing party was being shared by her - feeling a bit bad for the guy, she strolled next to him and took a seat, being this close to him only made her even more uncomfortable like she had voluntarily dumped a vat of acid on her body. Keeping her expression neutral she looked at him “ so something crawls up your ass and dies every day or today is some sort of special occasion?”Mike paused with the can halfway up to his mouth, and then he looked at her like he didn’t understand what she was saying until a flash of recognition glinted in his eyes and he smirked “ ah, yes .. you are an aide” then he cont
Reyna groaned and clutched her head. She hadn’t drunk any alcohol so why was her head drumming like she had been on nothing but bread and alcohol for an entire day? And what was that noise? Who let the showers on? A click - the sound of the water was cut off and then a delicious male scent filled her nostrils. Her eyes flickered open to see Cain walking out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel on. Water droplets dripped down his hair, trickled down his sharp jawline that was sharp enough to cut diamond, down those hard pectoral muscles and then slipping past into the Netherlands. As if sensing her gaze his head snapped towards her direction and he smirked. “Like what you see?”Reyna rolled her eyes as she sat up in the bed as she glanced around the room, it was completely different from the morning. In the noon everything was in its place like someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder had set everyt
Reyna wasn’t new to pain but as something other than rage and anger slammed in her system, her eyes snapped open. Next to her was a sleeping Cain but it was obvious that he wasn’t sleeping well. He was lying on his stomach half frowning and pale as a white sheet. Distress and anxiety were blasting off his skin, smacking against her. She didn’t know what he was seeing in his nightmare but whatever it was .. it was really bad.His brows were furrowed and he was dripping with cold sweat. His fear and distress were enough to make him forget about her pain that he was causing her by gripping her hand with his claws unsheathed. He was so caught up in his nightmare that he didn’t even notice that she was awake and sitting next to him. With his senses he should have noticed it long ago but clearly his nightmare was so worse that there were no signs of Cain waking up. He was grunting in pain and the harsher wa
Reyna jerked awake at the sound of someone knocking on the door, she frowned -blinking her eyes she took in her surroundings. She wasn’t in her room this wasn’t her pack and whoever was knocking on the door needed to jump right off the edge of the cliff because it wasn’t even morning yet. She sat up straight in the bed and looked around her brows scrunched up unconsciously - Cain was not in the room. She took a whiff and realized that his scent was rather feeble like he left the room hours ago. But then almost immediately she suppressed those nonsensical feelings why would he stay though? Was she so nuts in her head that she was expecting to wake up while being coddled by him is that it?The knock on the door became incessant and Reyna cursed hopping out of the bed she strode to the door before pulling it open and giving her dear visitor a scowl. It was Diskant. “What?” Damn, it came out j
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
