“Let's go then,” said Reyna as she stood up from her chair when Cain’s eyes narrowed in annoyance, she sighed and raised her hands with a placating smile, “ seriously Cain, you know I won’t let you leave me behind, this matter is obviously related to me and concerns my parents’ safety so why not just skip all your ‘it's going to be dangerous’, and ‘ I don’t want you to be there with me because you will get hurt’ talk and get a move on?”

Cain released a tired sigh and got to his feet. “  You are right, the day I marked you, I knew you will never listen to me. It's just me who is being stupid here.”

“ Aww, look at you being all adorable,” said Reyna with a mock gushing voice as she batted her eyelashes at him. That got him smiling as he shook his head, he commented, “ Nothing goes my way when it comes to you.”

    Cain almost ground his teeth to dust as he switched on the engine. “ You were not playing along with her, you were playing her.”“ I wasn’t poking fun at her if that’s what you are thinking,” said Reyna as she stared right ahead instead of looking at him which annoyed the heck out of him, like this he couldn’t see what she was feeling not that it was easy to read Reyna Aniston, she was like a locked case with the key thrown somewhere, it was hard to see what exactly went in her mind and that was something that Cain thought was unfair as he was an open book to her that she can read with ease something that couldn’t say for her. “ I was just trying to defend you, I don’t know how you don’t snap even after she interferes in your life like that”Yes, she was defending him. Something no one has ever done for him since they were either too busy with their own demons to care about him. Although Cain didn&

    Bryan tilted his head, the moment was almost imperceptible and Cain would have missed it if not for Bryan’s beta who moved getting closer to an attacking range, Cain’s shifted ever so slightly as well. His wolf didn’t like a male that could be a threat to them getting closer to him but what he didn’t like even more was the look of admiration in the beta’s eyes as he stared at Reyna. Cain almost lunged at the beta but since they were here to discuss business, he simply skimmed his fingers over Reyna’s back and curled them around her neck in a possessive hold. His wolf calmed down as soon as he did.The beta arched a brow at his gesture and smiled without even the slightest bit of repentance, clearly he was a nut job who so very obviously had suicidal urges.“I know that you are looking for the griffin pack,” said Bryan nodding as he said that, “ but I fail to admit why you are here? I mean I have heard the rumo

  • Mated to a Dire wolf   Take it out on others

    And that was when all hell broke loose, Bryan’s beta suddenly lunged at Cain, his claws aimed right at his heart, and just as the beta dove at him, the two females who left the parlour earlier popped out of nowhere and launched themselves at Reyna. Cain knew that Bryan wasn’t stupid enough to attack them, this was nothing but an act to relay the message that he shouldn’t underestimate their strength, heh- just who was underestimating who here?Cain has seen Reyna fight and even though his wolf wasn’t at ease leaving Reyna facing two females alone, he was confident in her strength. If she could take on so many male enforcers while she was on the run then she will surely be able to take on those two barbie dolls. Instead of worrying about Reyna, he concentrated on the beta who lunged at him- he whipped out of the sofa and ducked, avoiding the claws that were aimed at his heart, the sound of fabric tearing told him that the claws of the beta were stuck in

    Bryan’s eyes quivered as he looked into Cain’s determined gaze. He nervously took a step back and shirk his head, “ you don’t get it, Atherton…” but he said nothing further.“You are scared of them,” noticed Reyna as she sensed the fear oozing out of Bryan like thick fumes that were both nauseated and uncomfortable. When his snapped in her direction and released a warning growl she just shrugged and casually said, “ what? What did I say wrong here? You are afraid and I can sense your fear.”“ You are scared of them?” Cain found the entire thing about being loyal and protecting the alliance with Glenn a bluff from the beginning but what he never thought was that Bryan being an alpha would be scared of a pack that's on the run. “ Why is that?” Bryan didn’t answer and then Mary screamed once again.“ Oh, forgive me but I am not patient enough to wait for an entire

    “ I don’t like ice creams” Being burdened by the responsibility of taking care of Glenn’s outburst Reyna hardly got time to enjoy the occasional outings to an ice cream parlour. Of course, her mom would sometimes make homemade strawberry ice cream but that was the only frozen dessert that she liked as for anything else it was just ‘meh’ to her.Cain smiled as they stopped at the red light, he looked at her. “ I think you will like strawberry,”Reyna snapped up, her back ramrod straight as she stared at him in incredulity, “ alright, just how much have you have you poked around your nose in my business?”He chuckled as he gunned the engine and turned a right instead of left, clearly they were not returning to the pack right away. “ I didn’t poke my nose in your business, it's basic facts. Girls like strawberry Sawyer does and Kerry always picks up the strawberry one when she is out, I d

    Reyna’s attention snapped up as she looked at him with a frown, “ How do you know that?”Cain sensed her wariness and admittedly, felt the urge to smile. Instead, he suppressed his smile and watched the vivid expressions that flashed across her face, he knew that she took her by surprise. Reyna was someone who liked to keep a tight check on her emotions, and rarely let anyone see what was going on in her head. Of course, she would be surprised if he pointed out the one thing that she always kept a tight check on, “ Your eyes.”“ My eyes?” Her conflicted expression of her told him that she didn’t have a clue about what he was talking about.Cain nodded as he finished up the sundae and wiped his mouth with the paper napkin before tossing it in the dustbin. “ they get darker like storm clouds when your mania gets out of your control, but now they aren’t.”Gritting her teeth, she stood up.

    Cain felt Reyna stiffen beside him but he didn’t look at her. It took every bit of his courage to bring up the matter that he has buried in his heart for so many years nor did he want to see that sympathetic glance that people shot him every time, he told them about this matter not that there were many but he didn’t like those piteous glances like he was still the same poor little boy that once needed their help, it made him feel - he didn’t know, icky because he didn’t want to remember the helplessness he felt back then. He took a deep breath and clenched his fingers on the steering wheel as he began, “ Sawyer ran out of the pack’s territory once, she was mad at me and dad for forgetting her birthday since we were busy with pack duties. It was a small thing many pos run away from their home but end up returning safely, only Sawyer was one of those few unlucky ones who somehow ended up streets.”“ She was ten and shifters that y

    Reyna’s stomach dropped and her entire head started buzzing, it felt like it has completely stopped functioning. She was aware of all the gazes that were locked on her and she was aware that Cain was on the verge of losing control and she should have tried to calm him down because that's what an aide was supposed to do, putting their pain and anger in the back seat to take care of their alpha but Reyna couldn’t do it. The rage that was coursing through her body was clashing against her insides, wanting an outlet.Her wolf didn’t understand what was happening but she did respond to Reyna’s anger as she lunged to the surface, wanting to eradicate the threat that wasn’t even there. Apart from that Reyna felt as if a hot balloon was expanding inside her as the mania inside her rose, it was going to explode any second.She needed to get out of this room before she did something that she will definitely regret later on.Pivoting on the sp

    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

  • Mated to a Dire wolf   The end

    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

  • Mated to a Dire wolf   Cain was here.

    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

  • Mated to a Dire wolf   You know who was behind the scenes right?

    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
