RAELYNN

Something didn't feel right about the nurse. As she walked towards me with a knowing smile on her face, I instinctively moved backwards until the back of my legs touched the bed.

"Please sit down," she said, in a voice that sounded robotic.

"I'm perfectly fine. I don't need whatever you have in your tray," I said and her smile widened.

"Of course you do. The incident must've been a traumatic one. You need to take this to recover," she said, holding up the serum when she stopped in front of me.

I was convinced at this point. I needed to get out of there. Knocking the serum out of her hand, I drove my elbow into her stomach and she doubled over.

Without waiting for her to recover, I sprinted towards the door and out of it. There were two men standing there. Before they could react, I made a beeline down the unfamiliar corridor. This place was no hospital. As I ran, realization dawned on me when I noticed that I was being chased. Eventually, I arrived at a dead end. Ther

    RAI "You should get some sleep," I heard Jared say as he walked into my study. I looked up at him with a blank expression and he released an exasperated sigh. "When was the last time you allowed yourself to fall asleep?" He asked, sinking into the chair in front of my desk. I probably looked like a mess. My mind was constantly plagued by reminders of my failures. I was barely holding on to the sanity I had left. "I can't bring myself to. Especially not when Raelynn is still missing. I don't even know if she's eating well or getting any sleep," I said and he nodded."I know you're worried about that. But, trust me, Raelynn is stronger than you think. I have news for you," Jared said and I stiffened, my gaze meeting his candid ones. "What news?" "Rose was seen recently," he said and my eyes widened, hope flickering inside of me. "Where exactly?" I demanded and he grimaced."A convenience store. Again, she parked her car in a parking lot and vanished into thin air right after.

    RAELYNN 'Don't you remember what you just said to me?' Rai said to me through our mindlink and I blinked, confused. I was certain that I was only reaching out to him for the first time since I regained consciousness. 'What are you talking about?' I said, my anxiety levels spiking up. 'It has to be the drug. It's making you forget things,' he stated. I could feel his emotions as though they were mine. The panic and the rage were so intense, it triggered my own emotions."What do I do? I still can't see. I don't know where I am. Rai...I... I'm scared," I said.The words had barely left my lips when the door jerked open and two figures walked towards me. Without a word, they untied me and brought me to my feet. Then they led me out of the room. "Smile, Lynn. Don't jinx the ceremony," I heard Rose say as she took hold of one of my hands. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't flee from the unfolding scene. Anger bubbled inside of me as I was led into what seemed like a large

    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

    RAELYNN A year ago, I discovered that Rai Vidal, the man I'd had a crush on for the longest time, was my fated mate. My father had been overjoyed because being mated to Alpha Rai would mean that I was to become Luna of one of the strongest packs. However, what he didn't know was that Rai didn't want me. He was in love with Nadia who was not ready to settle down for marriage. Since he didn't want to taint his reputation, he made me sign a contract with him in secret. I was to become his contract wife until Nadia became his wife. It was stupid. Even so, for the sake of my father, for the sake of the feelings I had towards him, I agreed to it. A part of me had believed that I would succeed in winning Rai's heart. Yet there I was, standing in front of my childhood home. I'd just been stabbed in the back by both my father and my husband."You don't mean that--" I started to say, tears blurring my vision. Before I could say anything else, my father slapped me across the face. It s

    FIVE YEARS LATER,RAELYNN "Doctor Lynn, your phone has been ringing since you entered the surgical room," Rose, my assistant, said to me as soon as I stepped into my office."An unknown number?" I asked, and she nodded. "It's quite strange. This person has called you twenty-six times already. Maybe an ex?" I chuckled, accepting the phone she held out to me. I had a feeling that the caller was no other person than my father. It was just about time. After the incident, five years ago, I faked my death and stayed in the region dominated by Lycans, with the man who had rescued me from what could have been my death. Only recently did I pull some strings to get my father to know that I was still alive. While in my grip, my phone rang out. The call was from an unknown number. "You can go now. Thank you, Rose," I said to my assistant, and she nodded before walking out of my office. Sinking into my seat, I picked up the call and brought the phone to my ear. "Raelynn, it's me. Yo

    RAELYNN "Is everything going fine over there?" Klaus asked. I could sense his concern through the phone. Despite the fact that he was the Lycan king, we were like family."He wants me to go on a blind date, except...it doesn't seem like a mere blind date. According to him, I'm supposed to meet my date at a party," I said, and Klaus frowned at me, his green eyes clouding up with distrust."That does sound off. What are you going to do?" He said."I made up my mind already," I told him, and he raised a brow."And that is?""I'll attend the party. I need to know what is really going on," I said to him, and he sighed."Please be careful. I do not like this. But, I'll let you do what you want. You're a grown woman after all," He stated, and I grinned at him."Thanks, Klaus. What about my little princesses? How are they doing?" I asked, and he chuckled."They were both asleep an hour ago. They both just barged into my room. It's as though they could sense---""Is that mummy on the ph

    RAIFew minutes ago, "Did you hear?" My younger sister asked, her voice tinged with excitement. It was quite rare for her to call me out of the blue. She knew I wasn't one to listen to gossip, either. It made me wonder why she was really doing this. "Izzy, can we talk later? I have a business to attend to," I said, unable to hide my growing irritation."Just hear me out. You remember Raelynn, don't you?" She said, and I swear, my heart stopped beating for a moment. I'd heard of her death a few years before. Hearing my sister say her name worsened my already sour mood. "I'm hanging up-""She's alive!"I froze, every cell in my body freezing over. "What?" I breathed. "She's not dead. She returned to her family home not too long ago. Isn't that great?" She said.I swallowed hard, relief sinking into me. Only now do I realize that I'd felt responsible for her death, even though I had nothing to do with it. "I know that you miss her. I saw you that night, gazing at her photo,"

    RAELYNN I was fuming as I drove to my childhood home. Everything that had happened earlier kept replaying itself in my head like a nightmare stuck on repeat. Although I'd expected foul play of some kind, the party had been more terrible than I'd imagined. What's worse is that Rai had shown up.He was the last person I'd expected to see, and yet, my heart had gone out of control the moment I'd seen him. All that pain and grief I'd chosen to bury had swelled to the surface.Tightening my grip on the steering wheel, I took a deep breath and willed myself to be calm.Even so, I couldn't shake off my emotions. I could still remember the way he'd looked at me. He didn't seem to have changed much. His hair was a little longer than usual, and there was a different sharpness in his stare.On arriving at the house, I stormed into my room to pack up my things.I heard the door creak open, but refused to pay attention to whoever had just walked in."Rae, what's wrong?

    RAELYNN A few minutes ago, I tightened my grip on the envelope in my hand, anxiety sinking into me. Klaus was right. I was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel about it. Bringing a hand to my abdomen, I heaved a sigh. Nadia and Kyan were still missing. They could attack me the moment I let my guard down. It didn't help that my pregnancy was strangely sucking the energy out of me.While I was lost in my thoughts, the envelope was yanked out of my hand. Turning around with a start, my heart sank when I saw a familiar face standing there.She waved the envelope at me and flashed me a sinister grin."What is this? A sonogram?" She asked, cocking her head."Nadia," I hissed, clenching my fists.She looked perfectly fine, especially for someone who had fallen off a building.Why won't she just stay dead?"Hello there. It's been a while. I guess you've been busy making babies with Alpha Rai. What's it going to be? Baby three? Or four?" She said, her voice laced with mocker

    RAI I awoke to the sound of Raelynn throwing up in the bathroom. Concerned, I got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom door, just in time for her to step out of it. With her hair pulled up into a messy, she appeared to be totally out of it.Her weary gaze met mine and my heart sank. She looked way too pale. "It's probably just something I ate," she said to me, flashing me a tight smile. Raelynn leaned into me as I pulled her into my embrace. "Come on, let's go back to bed," I said and she nodded. I led her to the bed and she laid down, curling up against me. "Everything is going to be okay, right?" She asked. "Yeah," I whispered. In a short while, I fell asleep and dreamt. When I awoke a couple of hours later, I sat up in bed in panic, remnants of the terrifying dream I'd just had lingered in my mind.Sucking in a sharp breath, I stared down at my hands, an image of Raelynn's bloodied form appearing in my mind's eye. At the sound of the shower in the bathroom, I go

    RAELYNN White hot pain invaded every fibre of my being and I clenched my teeth against it, struggling with the weight of my magic. But suddenly, I was reminded of my mother's words. I needed to embrace my magic and become one with it. Once I accepted the pain, a wave of heat leaked into my veins. Power pulsed inside of me and exploded. When I opened my eyes again, I felt invisible. Nadia was stumbling down the corridor, limping. Although I wanted to chase after her and rip her apart, I felt the stronger urge to see Rai again. Rushing past Nadia, I headed to Rai's ward without breaking a sweat. Once I rushed in, I was greeted by the sight of Rai sitting up in bed. His eyes widened when he saw me. Relief sank into me when I noticed that colour had returned to his face.Drawing in a sharp breath, I hurried to his side and embraced him. "How are you feeling?" I whispered, stroking his hair.He pulled away enough to look into my eyes with a gentle gaze. "I feel... perfectly

    RAELYNN I clenched my fists as I watched Rai head towards the staircase. He was trying so hard to pretend that he was perfectly fine but I could see right through him. He seemed to have forgotten about the fact that I was a doctor. Every slight tremor that racked his body was a sign that he wasn't feeling well. With my senses in hypermode, I could even detect the strain in his breathing. I waited patiently, hoping he would eventually cave in, and turn around to confess the severity of his condition. Instead, he continued to push forward. Angry tears clouded my eyes. Did he not trust me? Why wasn't he saying anything? I wondered, my insides twisting up into angry knots. "Stop," I droned, my patience wearing thin. His muscles stiffened with tension when he halted. Slowly, he turned around to look at me. My heart sank when I saw how bloodshot his eyes were. He probably didn't know about it. "It's no use hiding it. I can...I can tell..." I blurted out, my voice quivering."Yo

    RAI Few Hours Ago, "You're late," Nadia said as I sat down beside her in a dimly lit bar. She was wearing a mini black dress tonight with her long hair pulled back into a high ponytail. I glanced around, but found that we were the only ones in the bar apart from the bartender. Nadia must have rented the bar for the night. "Well, I'm here now, aren't I?" I said and she reached out to take hold of my hand, gazing into my eyes with a stifling intensity. I knew she was casting a spell on me. I felt it build up inside of me, lashing against my strong will like a stubborn wave. Eventually, she eased up on me and leaned in to plant a kiss on my cheek. "Did you meet her today?" She asked and the spell swelled to the surface, attempting to stop me from lying to Nadia. However, my will was stronger. Refusing to show the pain it was causing me, I kept my expression schooled and downed a glass of tequila. "I have better things to do. She doesn't deserve my time," I drone

    RAELYNN Power pulsed inside of me, clouding my senses. I had never felt my wolf so strongly. It was exhilarating. Knowing that Rose had approached me on purpose and had lingered around me right up until this moment made me pissed. I concluded that she was involved in something shady. Since I didn't know exactly what her deal was, I was even more pissed. "Go straight to the point, Rose. No, wait. Is Rose even your real name?" I hissed and she grimaced."I never lied to you about my name," she said and I hissed at her, annoyed."How am I supposed to believe that?" I demanded. Rai grabbed my hand, entwining my fingers with his. When I looked up to meet his perturbed gaze, my frown faded. "I'll tell you everything but we can't talk right here. Your enemies might be listening in on us right now," Rose said and I sighed, bringing my free hand to my temple."Let's go in," Rai suggested and I glanced at him, instantly recalling that he was supposed to meet up with Nadia. "I can
