Rain’s POV It was almost time to introduce the children to their new adoptive parents. Even though I was hopeful, I worried how they would react to hearing about their parents passing away. “ Let’s not put this off any longer I am sure that ShyElle is waiting for us.” I said as I stood up from the table and turned to watch my mate stand. With his tall muscular body and midnight hair he was by far the most attractive man I have ever seen. He winked at me and took my hand as we headed out of the dining room followed by Modley,Falun, and Prince Scott. We headed towards the sitting room when a werewolf guard came running up to me and Selwyn. He bowed his head in respect and said frantically,” Your majesties you are urgently needed outside on the front lawn! We have strangers here that demand to speak to the queen and no one else.” This was not what I needed to deal with right now. Selwyn growled loudly and the guard lowered his eyes and bared his neck in submission to his king. “ Bring t
Selwyn’s POV I watched my beautiful mate as she drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander over the day so far. So much has happened yet so much still needed fixing. I could feel my Rain’s uneasiness as she slept lightly. I knew her mind was full of worry over the missing pup and Syndel along with her unborn baby. Now on top of everything she has had to process knowing her parents are still alive must be making her insane. She has mourned them ever since I first met her and now I know she is relieved to have found them. I wondered what state they would be in when we rescued them. So many unanswered questions swirled in my mind. Maxim was taking this time to rest so I didn’t bother asking him. My newest frustration was in the form of a tall dragon with ocean blue eyes. Thinking about meeting Mack and the way he would only speak unless my mate was around made me furious. When he winked at her earlier in the library I wanted to gouge his eyes o
Rain’s POV A full day has passed while Selwyn and I decided how we were going to handle our newest prisoner. We decided to teleport to the mansion before we brought back Crissy. I knew that we couldn’t put her in a cell anywhere near Willix. That would just set him off again on a path of destruction to find his mate. Thomas and Connie have been keeping him calm for now but I knew if he realized who Crissy was it would torment him. I also wanted to let Kit know that we have her sister and gage Kit’s reaction to this news. I left Mack and Miller at the pack house to guard Crissy and make sure she didn’t escape or cause trouble. I was still surprised that so far she hasn’t shown any emotion or uttered a single word. After we had taken the time to shower and change clothes it was back to business as usual. I gazed around the library and chuckled under my breath. “ My Rain what has you giggling?” Selwyn asked me with a smirk on his handsome face. “ I’m sorry my treasure I know it seems la
Rain’s POV Everything was darkness. I was floating along locked in consciousness in my own mind. After my mate had stopped my shift I blacked out, however my mind never went blank. I knew my mate was frantic with worry and blaming himself for stopping my shift but I couldn’t reassure him. I had zero energy. I couldn’t open my eyes or move my body and speaking just wouldn’t happen. I could feel him trying to reach me through our mate bond but the door on my side was closed. I could hear everything and feel hands on my body as Selwyn held me tight. I could even feel him teleport and lay me on what I assumed was our bed. Reya was completely knocked out by Selwyn’s power which had never happened before. Confused and nervous I listened while my mate growled refused help from anyone. ShyElle was pleading with her brother to help me and I could hear the sorrow in her voice. Kit, Hart, and Thomas were in the room along with Connie. They were all trying to get Selwyn to let them help me but m
Rain’s POV I looked into the eyes of the mother goddess as I stood from the sofa. I walked over towards the moon goddess and asked,” What am I missing here? Why am I a target when I have spent the majority of my life isolated?” The moon goddess stopped her pacing and turned to me with eyes filled with sadness. She walked past me and went straight to her mother and sat down. I watched as Selene reached for her mother’s hand and held it tightly. Theia kissed her daughter’s cheek and looked back at me. “ Come my child and sit next to me and I will answer all your questions. “ Theia said with a sad smile. I walked over and sat down next to her and again looked into her eyes. She took my hand in hers and I immediately felt the combined power of these two goddesses mix perfectly with my own. Confusion hit me. Why did I feel like we shared a family bond? That shouldn’t have happened. I looked to my mate and saw that he had sat forward with his eyebrow raised. I knew that our mate bond was a
Rain’s POV I had the perfect master plan in mind. I just had to sell it completely to my mate and everyone in the room would follow his lead. I stared into his eyes and gaged his reaction as I told him and everyone else what I had planned. “ My treasure my plan is very simple. All we need to do is act like nothing is wrong when the fae Prince returns to the mansion. We act as if none of us know the game he is paying. ShyElle will keep up with the fake mate bond. Kit, Hart and Thomas will act like normal and keep pretending to gain our trust. Connie you will need to go along with Thomas and act like you are helping Selwyn and I to trust him and the others. Now Miller will need to stay close to Selwyn and pretend like ShyElle isn’t his fated mate. Now for the part that you won’t like my love. Selwyn I need you to act like our bond is weakening and you have your eyes on a female wolf. You need to act like mating a dragon wasn’t what you really wanted. I know a she wolf that will help us
Selwyn’s POV I hated this plan! Maxim was furious that I even went along with my mate’s crazy idea. I have spent many hours arguing with him about it. All he wants to do is kill the fae idiot and claim his mate again. Although I do agree with him I know my mate is right. Even knowing that this is fake and everyone is acting really grates my nerves. I teleported Rod and Miller to the pack house where Lynn was waiting on Rod. Rod gave me a look of amusement after he kissed his mate and said,” Have fun my friend.” I rolled my eyes and turned to Miller telling him to follow me. I took him to the crime scene of the burnt cabin and left him there to investigate for clues. I mind linked Alta and asked her to meet me at the south border of the pack lands away from the town. I teleported to the border and waited for her to show. I spent my time waiting and wondering what my mate was doing. I knew she was playing an act with Mack and that really pissed me off. After this was over and everyone
Rain’s POV I was having a wonderful dream. My parents and everyone else was safe and home again. I still wasn’t sure what had dragged me from my perfect dream. It was almost like someone was daring to practice black magic in my mansion. Anger stirred swiftly inside me but I knew that I needed to proceed with caution. I looked at my mate’s side of the bed and noticed he was gone. I masked my powers and sent them searching the mansion. It was my way of keeping up with everyone here. I found Connie and Thomas in the dinning room. ShyElle and the evil fae Prince were in the sitting room. The darkness I felt was projecting from the fae Prince. Willix was inside his bedroom clinging to Syndel’s pillow staring blankly at the ceiling. Kit and Hart were back down in the dungeon with Crissy Darwin. I focused for a few minutes and realized that no matter how much Kit pleased with her sister, Crissy just wanted to be with Frank. I shook my head but actually understood her in a way. That’s how I
