"Go ahead and play the victim. That's all you ever do," he spat and rage flashed in her eyes. Before he could process what she was doing, she'd grabbed him by his tie and yanked hard.

View MoreRAELYNN I stiffened when Kyan's lips touched my cheek. He slowly pulled away and gave me a smile, his gaze filled with warmth."We should hang out sometime," he said, and I flashed him a smile."Maybe."When he took my hand and lowered his head to press a kiss to the back of my palm, I couldn't help but smile. He was such a charmer."Are you usually like this with every beautiful woman you encounter?" I teased, and he cracked a smile."No. Only to an exceptionally gorgeous woman who goes by the name Raelynn," he replied, and I chuckled."I should get going now. I had a great time tonight," I told him, and he nodded."Let me walk you to your car." The words had barely left his lips when I felt a familiar presence behind me. Turning around with a start, I came face-to-face with Rai. His face was devoid of expression, but his eyes told a different story. He was mad."Hello, Raelynn," he droned, and I heaved a sigh. I should've known that one way or another, I would encounter him at
RAI She stared up at me, her chin raised in defiance. The flames in her eyes did not vanish as we engaged in a heated stare-down. All of a sudden, she slammed her forehead against mine, startling me."What the hell, Raelynn?!" I growled, and she blinked at me like a child caught with jelly all over her mouth. In that instant, my frustration died off. So I pulled away and straightened."Fine. Put on your seatbelt," I said, and she glared at me before grabbing her seatbelt. I slammed the door shut and settled down in the driver's seat."Since when did you get so petty?" I asked, and she scoffed at me."I've always been petty," she mumbled. I blinked at her, surprised by the sudden flutter in my chest when she made that statement."What happened to Raelynn, who was always calm and cool headed?" I said, and she turned to look at me, a smirk curling her lips."She died a long time ago," she replied, and I looked away from her, tightening my grip on the steering wheel.Perhaps I'd push
RAELYNN I stared at the palm of my hand, my eyes narrowed as I recalled the sudden burst of blue light that had emerged from my palm right when Rai had leaned into me. It had never happened before. The more I thought about it, the more I became puzzled. There was a knock on the door of my office. So, I looked up, my frown deepening. "It's me," I heard Nadia say. The corner of my mouth tilted upwards and I leaned back on my seat, the frown on my face fading away. "Come in," I stated and she walked in with a small gift basket containing some fruits. I folded my arms across my chest, eyeing her with a blank look on my face. "What brings you here?" I asked and she placed the small basket on the desk, right in front of me. Although she wasn't smiling or frowning, the malice in her eyes was unmistakable. "I apologize for putting you through so much trouble the last time we met," she began. I raised a brow, amused. "You didn't have to apologize," I said and she scoffed, plan
RAI The pain in my head raged on and I felt sick to my stomach. It didn't help that I was burning up. I'd never felt like this before and for a moment, I wondered if I was infected. When Raelynn brought a hand to my forehead, I almost let out a moan. Her hand had an odd cooling effect. This was the first time I was truly witnessing the reason she was a healer. When she pulled away, my vision blurred and the raging heat flared up. I could feel my sweat dripping down my spine. "Can you walk?" She asked me, reaching out to touch me again. Instinctively, my body leaned towards her. It was not my intention to get too close but I could barely hold my body up anymore. So I fell forward, my head resting on her shoulder. A tremor racked my body in that instant and the excessive warmth in my body started to fade. I could vaguely hear her calling my name while the the sound of my own erratic heartbeat filled my head. Raelynn brought a hand to the back of my neck, and I shivered. She sa
RAELYNN "Nadia?" Glaring at me, she stormed towards me, her eyes blazing with fury. She raised a hand to hit me and I grabbed her hand to stop her. "Stay away from Rai, you hear me?!" She screamed at me, her eyes bloodshot.She looked like she'd been crying. Knowing her, she’d probably just thrown some childish tantrums."What were you thinking bumping into my car like that?" I demanded and she sneered at me."This is merely a warning. The next time you try to seduce Rai, it will be more than a mini accident," she hissed and I pushed her away from me. She stumbled backwards and fell to the ground, her limbs askew. She smirked at me and suddenly began to sob. Amused, I folded my arms across my chest. "What is this? How are you so good at pretending to be innocent?" I said and she sobbed harder, tears rolling down her cheeks. "What the hell happened here?" I looked up at the sound of Rai's voice but before I could say anything, Nadia stumbled to her feet and limped toward
RAELYNN "I'll scream," I deadpanned, my gaze locked with his. His frustration was evident all over his face and I enjoyed every second of it. Seeing how riled up he was becoming made me feel a sense of accomplishment. "Don't test me," he spat and I smirked. He was always like that. Underestimating me and ignoring me. He'd never looked my way while we were married. He'd always made sure I was subdued under his authority. "Try me," I said. The look of disbelief on his face pleased me more than anything at that point.To him, I was meagre.To him, I was merely an empty shell, a weakling, a pathetic damsel in desperate need of salvation and attention.But he was wrong. I would make sure he knew that. "What are you going to do? Leave or I'll scream. I can be petty too, you know?" I said, cocking my head. He cursed under his breath, a mask of annoyance shadowing his features.He walked towards me and halted in front of me, searching my eyes momentarily."Why are you doing th
RAI A few hours before, "How is she, doc?" I said to Alexander, my family's private doctor as he shut his briefcase and turned away from Nadia who was lying on the bed with an unusual pale tint to her face. When she'd called me a few hours ago, I didn't think she was in such a bad condition until I got to her apartment to see her lying on the floor, panting and sweating."She'll be alright. She just needs some rest. Her heat period got to her, that's all," Alex replied and I furrowed my brows, puzzled."You didn't know? She's been in heat for three days. She needs to be properly attended to, she's your chosen mate after all," he continued and I sighed, my gaze resting on Nadia who had her eyes closed. "I understand. Thanks, Alex," I said and he beamed, patting my shoulder. "Just take care of her as you should," he said and left the bedroom. Letting out a sigh, I turned away from her bedside only to pause when I felt Nadia's grip of on my hand."Stay with me," I heard
RAELYNN "Thank you," I said and the stranger's smile widened as he picked up my pepper spray bottle to hand it over to me."What's your name?" I asked. "Kyan. You?" He said softly. "Raelynn. Nice to meet you, stranger," I responded and his smile widened."Are you having trouble with your car, Raelynn?" He asked and I eyed him with uncertainty. Even if he had saved me from a threat, there was a chance that he was a bigger threat himself. "It's okay not to trust me. I just want to make sure you're alright," he said, moving towards my car. I stared at him, watching him as he shrugged off his red suit jacket. He tossed it at me, startling me. He winked at me when I caught it midair. It was odd to see him working on my car while he was dressed in an expensive looking attire. His clothes appeared to be neatly tailored to fit his leanly muscled physique. This meant he had to be on the same level as Rai. "Enjoying the view?" He suddenly said and I looked away from him, biting m
RAELYNN "There have been new cases of the infected in the past twenty-four hours. There's a high chance that one of us is infected right now," Austin, Rai's beta said from his position by the door of my office. "What do you think, Alpha Rai?" I said, folding my arms across my chest.Rai leaned back on his seat, his face stoic. "If anyone is infected, it's most likely Austin," he said and his beta scoffed. "Have you learnt anything new about the infection?" Rai asked, his voice tight with tension. Anyone who saw us seated in my office would sense the edge cutting tension swirling around us. I had expected this, especially after the words we'd exchanged the day before, in his study. It was clear that we both planned to pretend that we were unaffected by each other's presence. But this was my office. My territory. If anyone was going to be uncomfortable, it had to be Rai. Even so, he was pretty good at keeping his features blank. "The illness has different stages. There hasn
RAELYNN "Congratulations on your wedding anniversary, Lynn," Judy, my childhood best friend, said, beaming at me. I forced out a smile, scanning the venue of the party. I was supposed to be having the time of my life tonight. However, all of this was just a pathetic cover-up. "By the way, where is your husband? He's nowhere in sight," Judy said, and I shrugged."He's an Alpha, you know? He's probably going around meeting the guests," I said, and she snickered."There you are. I've been looking for you," a familiar voice said from behind us, and I stiffened. Plastering a false smile on my face, I turned around to face him. Rai Vidal. He was the Alpha of Black Claw Pack, the strongest werewolf pack in both southern and northern America. He was my fated mate. And he was also the man to whom I was bound in a contractual marriage.Flashing me a grin that was definitely not genuine, he held out a hand towards me. Without a word, I placed my hand in his and let him steer me to ...
