The rain did as he said. His hands shuddered to see that. '' You....are....'' he was left speechless. '' Yes, I can't see,'' she made it sound so simple. '' No wonder they managed to bring you there and push you down,'' Odin says letting out a sigh.
'' And I knew that you would come to save me. Is this meeting brought by fate?'' Rain thoughts in her mind. In the silence, he looked at her again. ''So, will you tell me something about yourself? Or you still don't feel like telling about the one who pushed her down?'' he asked staring at her face.
She was silent. He was feeling frustrated now. '' Are you something like the shy type who doesn't like talking to anyone? '' he remarks. ''No, I...am...I ....'' she has been mumbling about it for a while.
'' Alright, I will tell you about it. The thing is...''. He was listening to what she said. After hearing about everything He was getting angry inside. '' How can they do this?'' he shouts. She was not able to see his face but she could tell what kind of an expression he would be wearing right now.
'' This is a daily thing. I am, used to it now,'' she said. He was not able to believe that such kinds of people also exist. '' I guess it's the same in every pack. Why do they have to do this? The stronger ones are supposed to protect the weak ones. Why do they do things like these?'' he thoughts.
She is the proof of the weak one. Even though she's blind they aren't sparing her off this treatment. This thought was making him displaced than ever. '' You have suffered a lot didn't you?'' he asked gazing at her face.
She smiled at him. '' I am used to them, I can't see or work so I have to bear this rough treatment of theirs. I guess I deserve it.''
'' You don't seem like a bad person to me. Then why do you deserve this?''.
'' Don't worry about that. So what are you doing here? You don't seem like a resident here. I can't distinguish you by smell,'' Rain turns to Odin.
'' Yes, I am not a resident here. I am from another village I am here with my Be-'' he blocked his mouth with his hands.
''You're what?'' she seemed puzzled. He forgot that he was not planning to reveal his identity to her.
'' I came here with my Friend he's waiting outside the border of this village. We are out on patrol. The hunters are wandering here and there. We have to be aware of them you see. They are selling wolves and killing them for trade. You should stay careful too,'' Odin warns her.
'' I know, My friend Bella told me about it. She's caring towards me. The only remaining person in my family,'' A genuine smile appeared on her face when she said that.
'' The rest of her family?''. Doesn't she have anyone in her family? What about her parents? Is she all alone in her family?
'' Destiny is cruel to us,'' he comments. '' You see, I have also lost my family when I was young. Don't ask me how that happened. I can't bring myself to say that.''
'' He's the same as me?'' she could not believe what he was saying. He had gone through the same fate as her the same pain. Maybe that's why he can understand her feelings.
'' I don't open up my feelings to anyone. You are the only one with whom I have shared my feelings. You have to be a special one. My friends or the people around me see me as a rude person who only abides by the rules and all. But I am not the same as they think I am,'' he said letting out a sigh.
She wanted to find out how he looked. What face he was making when he said those things. Is it sad? Is it happy? What kind of feeling is he has now? She wanted to find out about them.
Then he looked at her. '' All these while I was the one who has been speaking. Don't you have anything to say about yourself?'' he asked with a grunt.
She was wondering something in her mind. '' Well...umm...I ...'' she could not gather her words now. This may be the first time she managed to speak with a guy properly. All this while she used to avoid them. Then she recalled how he held her down back then from falling.
'' You...must be strong... that's why...you managed to secure me in your arms. Saving me from falling, '' she says in a low voice.
'' Well, I guess I am as I train almost every day. And you are quite easy to lift. You hardly weigh anything. Don't you eat?'' he asked.
Then she recalled that Bella had told her they have fewer resources. '' The thing is..'' when she began to speak he could sense something.
'' Someone's coming this way. Come to me,'' he said taking her by the hand. Then some footsteps come closer to where they were sitting.
'' See Bella, there are no signs of anyone here. She's not here,'' shouts a voice. It was Grace along with Hazel following behind her. There was Leah too she held onto Bella's hand.
'' Rain, where are you?'' shouts Bella looking for her friend around the stones. But there was no one there. '' Where did she went to?'' Hazel turns to Grace.
'' I don't know, maybe she had hit her head in the stones and had died. Or she must have become the ghost as humans do,'' Grace replied mocking her.
'' Oh Grace, you should not make fun of the dead. She can't rest in peace in the other world,'' Leah comments.
'' You are right. I should not do that,'' says Grace with a chuckle. '' Anyway, it's not my worry whether she's alive or not. Now no other beta or omega or anyone will find her attractive. The eyesore is gone.''
'' Agree,'' Leah added. '' How can you think of her like that? Just because we are of lower class you can't behave like this towards us,'' Bella shouts turning into her wolf form.
'' Hey, you are becoming too much arrogant you see. You don't know what we can do to you,'' shouts Grace. All of them turn into their wolf forms. All three of them were cornering Bella.
Then all of a sudden they hear a noise. It was coming from behind the stones. There was Rain along with Odin. He was top of her now. They managed to escape there in such a short time that they had to stay that way to hide from them.
Rain could feel his breath on her neck. But when Rain heard them trying to beat up Bella she could not keep her anger in check. How can they do that to her? She was about to shout then Odin covers her mouth with his hands.
'' What are you stupid? Don't shout,'' Odin whispers into her ears trying to calm her down. '' Don't get so worked up that you will regret it later. Calm down.'''' Hey, did you hear a noise coming? It seems to be coming from behind the rocks. Let's go check it out,'' Grace said to Hazel. '' Oh no they are coming this way,'' Rain looked at Odin's response. Odin just smiled.Grace told Hazel to go from the other way and she will go from the other way. Leah was now holding onto Bella from shouting. They walked slowly enough not to let them hear.'' Bam,'' Grace shouts to surprise them only to be disappointed. There was just a wooden log there along with one frog. Hazel picked it up in her hands. '' So this fellow made noise and you mistook it for Rain? How much stupid you are Grace.'''' I felt her presence that's why. Don't blame me here. But there is no sign of her. Where's our lady?'' Grace was roaming her eyes here
''Rain can you hear me? Hey Rain?'' Rain heard someone calling her sweetly. She thought Odin was the one who was doing that. But she was able to smell none other than Bella there. '' Is this you Bella?'' Rain asked trying to touch her hand.'' Yes, it's me, Bella. Are you alive Rain?'' Bella asked while sobbing. '' Yes, I am alive. Don't you worry girl?'' Bella hugs her right away. '' I was so worried for you. Thank god. I didn't think that I will be able to see you at the exit of the forest. When I came here I was in despair but I am glad to see you Rain.'''' So am I, wait where are we?'' Rain asked. '' Exit of the forest.'' Rain could not smell anyone other than Bella nearby, Odin was not there. She recalled that they were in the stony areas. Then how did she reached here? Then he was the one who carried her here?'' He's so kind,'' Rain thought as a blush appears on her face. '' Anyway, I will know how you managed to get out of there but fo
''Rain?'' Odin called her name. Rain was able to understand who he is now. '' What are you doing here?'' Rain asked. '' I am,....'' he had nothing to say in his favor now. He had nothing to tell her. He came here without thinking and met her here. None of this was expected by him.He looked at his feet. The little boy from back then had already left there. There was the silence between them now. '' I am here well....'' he could not tell her that he's here as the representative of his pack. He already lied to her that he's an Omega of the working class. What's the best thing to say in this situation? He was not able to understand.'' I came here...you see...yes with my Alpha, there's the meeting with the higher-ups from other packs too. They came to this village to discuss the hunter's problem. I came with my other friends in the pack,'' this may be one of the best excuses he could come up with.When he looked at her he was not confident whether
Odin walked towards the door. The wooden floor underneath was making creaky noise. He clenched his fists and was walking towards the door. There was a loud knocking on the door. He gripped his hand on the metal knob then turned it and the door opened.He was cautious at first. The door opened revealing three figures. There was one woman with short hair and one with a long one. Another one with braids. They all had sour expressions on their faces.Odin was not able to understand what were they here for. Seeing him the one with long hair speaks up,'' Hey outsider what are you doing in this house?''. '' This is not your home what are you here for?'' asked the other.Then he was able to recall their faces. They were the same girls whom he had met the other night. He was not able to recognize them at first because he had watched them at night. But now he's able to recognize them.'' Can't you understand what we are saying to you? What a
Odin and Rain chat for a while. Rain was starting to like his behavior towards her. He told her about the adventures he did with his pack. There was one time they had faced a group of humans also.'' They were just like us, only they can't transform that's all. But I don't think that all humans are bad. Some are bad some are good also. The hunters who are after our lives is the bad one. We should get rid of them,'' he said taking a sip of the tea she made a while ago.Rain was looking away and said,'' If there was a way for us to live together it would be so great.'''' Me too,'' he said with a smile. Like that the whole afternoon passed by. As Odin was not coming back his Beta came to search for him. While walking inside the village he came in front of Rain's house also.'' Lord, where are you? Lord?'' he called out for Odin. Odin was able to notice his presence. If he comes inside then his identity will be revealed to Rain. He ca
Rain pretended to sleep but she couldn't fall asleep after seeing that. When Bella was in deep sleep hearing her snoring she gets out of the bed. Then walks towards the living room.She took a knife with her and left the house tiptoeing towards the door. She felt bad leaving Bella behind but she had to do that. She closed the door and went out of the house.She tried to recall where he was. Near the cliff, in the village. When she was walking she heard someone calling from behind her. But they were just the people who were passing by there.She hid behind the house when they passed by. '' I was a goner there,'' she thought with a sigh. After they left she was walking again. By the time she was near the cliff, she heard them talking of people.They have to be on guard. She was hiding behind the bushes. One was instructing another,'' Keep the people near that place.''Rain was looking for Odin only. She walked towards th
'' And if something had happened to me then you would have saved me, That's why I hadn't felt afraid at all.'' A smile appeared on her face without thinking. He was shocked by that. What was this girl trying to say?A blush appeared on his face and his heart skipped a beat as if there was no one in the world other than them. Time had stopped and the world was not moving. '' It's not like I will be there by your side all the time for you. Then why are you depending on me too much?'' he asked.When she thought he was going to give a friendly response he sulked. '' I am just here with my pack. After the matter of the hunters are settled I will have to go away. Then? What are you going to do if you have to face danger after that? Who will save you? You should tell your mate to save you from all of these troubles. I am just a temporary guard for you.''She didn't want him to break her heart like that. '' I don't have my mate yet,'' she confessed loo
It was soon the next morning. Bella had been talking about no one other than Odin ever since she woke up. She had been won over by his manliness. Rain was trying to put some sense into her mind. '' Bella don't you have work? Go you have all the day to talk about him,'' Rain hurried her. '' You are right, it slipped out of my mind sorry,'' she apologized. '' Anyway, will you do the housework, today sweetie?'' Bella pleads to her. Rain nods. '' Thanks, I love you.'' After Bella leaves Rain closed the door behind her and started working on chores. While cleaning through the floor she saw something again as a premonition. The door opened and Odin came into her room saw. They also spent some time together as well. A blush appeared on her face when that happened. '' We are going to meet again? I need to cook something for him then.'' Meanwhile, Back where he and his group were. Odin and his beta were given room to stay.
Rain hugged onto her knees even more tightly.“He’s not going just because of me. I’m stopping him from enjoying.”“Even though he was looking forward to the harvesting festival dance. I’m ruining everything for him.”“I can’t do this.”“He doesn’t deserve this at all.”“I need to do something.”Odin waited outside the door. Somewhere in his heart, he was hoping that Rain would come out and join him. But he was unable to say those things from his mouth.Odin hits his back against the door as the door slightly opens.“Get away a little,” Rain said softly.Odin got up on his feet and stood in front of the door.The rain opens the door and came out, looking sideways.He became surprised.“You opened the door?”.She nodded, “Let’s go to the harvesting festival. I want to go together with you.” Odin’s eyes widened.“F-for real?”.She nodded. “I’m sorry for acting mean towards you all.”“I didn’t mean to do that.”“Can you forgive me?” she asked bowing her head.He examined her from top to
“ What’s wrong?” Sherry asked, coming forward. “she seems familiar to me. That’s why I stopped to see her. Do you recognize her?” Simon asked. “Recognize? How’s this possible?”. Sherry stepped forward and came to see the face of Bella who was standing with an astonished face. She couldn’t understand what was going on in there. “ You know me?” Bella asked. “ Are you….with the Solomon family?” asked Simon. He stared at her with a questioned look. "Ah...yes...you are talking about Rain. Yes, I'm her friend. I work under you lord." Bella bowed down holding onto the hem of her skirt. He watched her in awe. Sherry also stared at Bella. Then asked, "didn't your friend come here today?". "Are you alone?". "Ah .yes. she'll be coming later." Simon wanted to ask something more, but then he stopped himself from asking anything Any further and went on. After that everyone returned home. Bella returned home with a smiling face. She looked all around the house to find Rain who di
And, like that, the long night came to an end, and the sun rose up signaling it was morning. Although the villagers were much unhappy about the fact that people were starting to get missing from the village, they still made the arrangements for the festival. The whole village was dressed in pretty colors and arrangements. Ever since Rain’s parents were alive, this festival had been the source of joy for her and her family. During the evening, Rain was recalling about the days which she had spent along with her family during the festive times. Now that they are not here, she’s missing them more than ever. Their absence is making her feel sadder than ever. “Rain, which dress should I wear? What would you like to wear?” Bella asked, showing her the couple of dresses that she had on her hands. Rain was absent-minded. So she wasn’t able to hear what she was telling her. “Rain?” Bella called again. “Why aren’t you listening to me?” her loud voice breaks into her attention. “Huh.
“Ah…because of the rose-“ before she was able to complete her sentence he sucked onto the finger which was hurt. As the blood reached his tongue he had a familiar running down his body. As if he had tasted this before. Then he recalled that time when he woke up to his senses, and she was kissing him which she still hadn’t answered why. She noticed the change in his behavior. “W-what are you doing? Don’t do this,” she was squirming under the feeling he left on her hands. He pulled away when she was starting to feel embarrassed. “ You hadn’t said anything about the reason why you had kissed me when I wasn’t awake after the wound.” His comment left her speechless. She couldn’t utter anything. “I..I…”. Silence followed in between them. His gaze was enough to make her feel nervous. If she could tell him why she did that back, no one would have felt much relieved than her most probably. But there was no way out for her to tell him that. Tell him the fact that she’s blessed by the p
Meanwhile, Rain was cutting up eggplants while thinking about something in her mind. She was in the kitchen.The images of the premonition came back to haunt her again. She was starting to feel cold the moment she recalled them.Bella came from behind her and saw her cutting slowly, without a care in the world.She peeked over her shoulder only to spot that Rain was about to cut her finger off.That’s why she came from behind her, and grabbed hold of her hand, stopping her in the tracks."What are you doing girl? You were about to cut your hand by accident. Where is your attention?" Bella shouted."Uh... haven't noticed. Was I about to cut my fingers? Sorry.""What's the point in apologizing to me? You are the one who was in danger." Bella scolded her."Am sorry I had been careless.''"You go and do something else. I will take care of everything here." Bella sai
“Stella, what are you doing here?” Leah comments, seeing the girl who was beside Odin.She had blond hair and black eyes, with a petite figure.“I….” she lowered her head at her feet.“She had been hiding outside the door, listening to our words. Mind asking her what she was doing listening to us?” Odin asked.August was observing her actions from head to toe.Leah stepped forward and walked up to the side of Stella named girl.“What were you doing outside the door Stella? Aren’t you supposed to be with Sarah at the moment?" Leah's words made Stella look down at her feet.“I….I came to ask about the security within the village. Lady Sarah told me to know whether we will place even more guards at night or not,” she stuttered while replying. Her mouth felt dry, and her heart was beating faster than ever from the nervousness.She was sweating and panti
In a while, they reached the house of Alpha Simon. Guards have surrounded the entire house.The atmosphere was tense. They stood near the gate.“Won’t we go inside?” August asked.“Yes, let’s go.”The moment they walked inside the gate, some people spotted them and surrounded them.“Your identity?” asked one of them.“Alpha Odin and his Beta August are here, inform this to Simon he’ll understand.”In a while they accompanied them inside the house.Grace spotted them when she came downstairs.“Look who we have here, isn’t this The kind hearted Alpha Odin and his Beta?” she compliments in a teasing tone.They were standing downstairs so, hearing her comment their attention turns to her.August hadn’t met Grace so he was confused.She came down, and stood in front of them wearing a pretty smile on her
Meanwhile, Rain and Odin came back to the breakfast table while carrying the basket of eggplants in his hands.Seeing them August and Bella stopped talking.August’s eyes traveled to the expression on Rain’s face. It was sadder than before.Bella spotted the eggplants first and stood up right away.“Eggplants in this season? Am I dreaming?”.“Who gave them to us?”.Rain pushed aside Odin and stepped forward replying, “Aurelia, she came over to give some news.”“What information?” August asked out of curiosity, relaxing back on his chair.Odin went past them to the kitchen, to put the basket down.“Come and have a seat with us,” Bella made Rain sit beside hers.Rain replied,” She came to tell that the missing cases again started. And last night ten people went missing from our pack. I don’t understand why’s this
August and Bella stared at each other and choked in their food hearing Odin’s question.“W-why are you asking that question?” stuttered August, wiping away the sauce off his face.Bella stared at her food, the called, “Fill my glass, I need water.”“Coming,” replied Rain from the kitchen.She brought the glass of water from the kitchen and placed it by the side of the table.“Here.”“August? What’s wrong? Why are you so silent ever since you woke up?” Odin asked again.“It’s not a question to ask. I don’t feel like talking just all. When will we leave by the way?”.
