The next day
I try not to think about Lake, far from it, I watch news. Since, it seems that the strange behavior of wolves, is attracting a lot of attention. To the point that my uncles have returned and several alpha leaders of the pack, have told me about what is happening and what I plan to do.“I don't understand why they come to ask you nonsense, even Ivan has called me to ask about it!” screams my mother walking from one side to the other.“Mother, it's to be expected.” I whisper.“Well, it doesn't seem to me that marrying that idiot makes you Lake's protector. He has his own issues and he should deal with them as he can. You're pregnant, she can't expect you to go like a superhero to rescue her ass.>> He's going to be a father, if he can't defend himself, or protect his territory on his own, can he consider himself a man? Can you really protect your children?” my father asks with obvious displeasure.It'Hours laterMy parents have gone for a walk, as a proposal from my father to get my mother's forgiveness and Sergey has been lost in his thoughts, since he learned the possibility that the baby who died is not one of the Serrano.So, he doesn't realize that I'm leaving the house, much less that I'm leaving on the trail of Nikolay, who is probably anxious because he didn't get the support he wanted.As I suspected, I find my brother on the track, walking from one side to the other, because no one pays attention to him. So, I walk up to where he is and try to control my urge to laugh, because he looks too desperate to the point of looking a little cute.“So, is this your plan?” curious question.“Sister, it's good that you came. I am extremely glad that you have made a good decision.“Nikolay, is this especially important to you?“I want to save Sergey from all this guilt.“Even if that's not the baby who died
Everyone is moving, as they ask me what's on my mind. Being clear about having no interest in fighting over the Roman terrain, they begin to plan how to collect this favor later on from Lake.Nikolay, he leaves with them in the car and I listen to their conversations via video call. So, we stay informed, while I stay at a strategic point and they advance to chaos transformed into wolves, except Nikolay.‘A white wolf would draw too much attention to just what we don't need.’ I tell myself mentally.“I need your help” I say to the driver who looks at me confused.“How can I help you, ma'am?“I need you to help me distract the press. You can simulate a house fire or a car crash, it doesn't matter. What I need is for you to distract the press so that they can act.“A fire would be dangerous.“Then a car crash or a chase where gunshots are heard. Feeling close to an accidental death, it could drive
We leave quickly and with the help of GPS, we go to a hospital in search of care. Nikolay, is the one who escorts him inside the hospital, while I ask myself: Why am I here?I know why my brother is here, but why should he come? I could ignore what was happening and wait for results. I had promised myself that I would not meddle in his affairs. After all, we are not a real couple and whether I win or lose, it does not affect or benefit me in anything.But, clearly, something is up. Since, I've helped save Lake and now, I'm waiting for him to go out with my brother and the worst thing is, the only thing that bothers me now, is not knowing why I'm really here.“You're crazy, Rain.” whisperTime passes and I am not leaving, so, I confirm that I have gone crazy by bringing him and staying waiting for information from him. So, I focus on enjoying every touch of my children, while my brother goes out.My phone starts ringing and I look at the screen, n
Although he was too injured, as soon as he got to the car, Lake appeared at the hospital door, moderately treated. So, I just climb into the passenger seat, while my brother watches me.“So, you've forgiven him.“No.” I say coldly."I understand. I hope you don't. After all, he's not someone you should forgive, Rain."“Or feel sorry. So, whose idea was it to come all the way here?“I have something bigger where Lake is someone important, that's why, I'm helping him.” says my brother, as Lake approaches the car.“I understand.” whisper as Lake opens the door.“Thanks for waiting.” says Lake and I feel like retracting what I accepted.Because, I don't even like being a part of this a little bit. But, Nikolay looked calm and had already started driving towards the runway where the plane is waiting for us. They wait for me to go up the stairs, acting as my escort, while I take
We are all in the living room, my mother watches with concern the man who is still bleeding while my brother Sergey watches him coldly.“I don't understand what's going through Nikolay's mind, did he get a blow on the head that made him lose what little intelligence he possesses?” Sergey asks, and I take a deep breath.“I want to hit him.“You will have to wait for weeks, most likely after this, you will not see him for at least a month. He knows that his life is in danger, so he won't dare to face you.” says my mother and I take a deep breath.“Lake, go away. You can stay at one of my family's properties, if you wish, but, go away.” I say and he denies.“Is it possible for me to stay close?“No.“Please, I want to be at least for the birth of the children.” Lake says and I bring my hand to my head.I'm supposed to rest in these last months of pregnancy, but it's clear tha
The next dayI take a deep breath as I watch as one of the werewolves knocks on the door of the attached house, where Lake comes out dazed and with his face swollen from the sutures. From the comfortable seat of the car, I watch as they explain everything to him and make him get into another car."I may have agreed to leave with him, but that doesn't mean I'll share my car with him. Let him go in another one and don't bother.’ I tell myself mentally.“Let's go.” I order and the driver immediately, we leave.Following my mother's recommendations, I'm leaving for one of the few houses with a swimming pool, spa and even a small zoo that I used to go to when I was little. I chose that place because it always lifted my spirits and that's what I need.Although I am not crying or having anxieties as before, because all my secrets are known, I do not feel well. The constant confrontations have come to an end and my pack knows how to defend itself f
However, wherever I go, Lake's scent haunts me telling me that it was an unbelievably bad idea to come with a man I can't stand. Therefore, I stay in the room where I watch a little TV, while Lake watches me in the same place where I left him.‘It's a bad time for the walls to be transparent.’ I tell myself mentally.“Go have fun, Lake. You can do whatever you want here if it's not related to me.” I say from my post.“Actually, I just want to be around the babies.” Lake says and I take a deep breath.'I wish I could give him what he wants without him being around me.’ I tell myself mentally.I try to concentrate on what's happening on TV, but that's not possible with Lake's steady gaze. So, I call him with my hand and he comes like an obedient dog. Something that is nothing like how violent and bloodthirsty he was in the confrontations.“You can stop pretending. Be cynical, cheeky, and annoying
The next dayI did not want to leave my room, although I was supposed to come for a little walk, the wound on my leg that has not completely healed yet, tells me to take a break, besides, I do not want to meet Lake.So, I stayed all the rest of the day in the room, but, I don't think I can do the same today. Since, staying here bored is just as annoying as doing it in the main mansion.Therefore, I leave my shelter, to later walk to the dining room where I wait for breakfast. Not perceiving Lake's scent, I look around, but, I can't find it.“Are you looking for something, ma'am?” the butler asks and I refuse.“No, I'm just looking at everything in detail.” I say feeling embarrassed for being caught looking for Lake“The gentleman is feeling better now. He has removed the stitches and even went for a little run.” says the butler.“So fast?“He knows that alphas recover easier from their injuries.&
