After being abandoned at the border of the Blue River Pack territory, Rain is raised in the orphanage as a witch, where she becomes best friends with Jessica Tompson, a werewolf orphan from the pack. After Jessicas seventeenth birthday, Jessica tells Rain they must escape the pack to save Rain from a horrible fate. But before they can leave, Odett, a five-year-old rogue pup, enters their lives, and they decide to take her with them to ensure she doesn't share the same fate as Rain. After they leave, they run into danger while in the woods as they try to make their way south to New Orleans in an effort to find a witch who will help train Rain to use her magic. But soon, they will discover The Moon Goddess has a plan for Rain and her newly found family. She is pulled from her miserable life and thrown onto a rollercoaster of ups and downs, finding her goddess-given mate, discovering her family's past, and even fighting a war to save all supernatural species. What will their fate entail? Will she find her happy ending?
Lihat lebih banyakLife is not a fairy tale. Life is hard and painful. It is dark and empty. And maybe it's a Fairy Tale for most people, maybe it is happy and always sunny, but that's not the case for me. Who am I? Well, my name is Rain. I have no last name, just Rain. I'm an orphaned witch in the Blue River werewolf pack. I always wondered what my parents were like and why they abandoned me in a wolf pack, of all places. Did they not love me? Was I a mistake? Are they even still alive? I may never know the answers to the many questions, and I doubt I have a peaceful future ahead of me.
Everyone in the pack hates me, well, everyone but my best friend, Jessica Tompson, another orphan. Her parents were killed in a rouge attack on the pack when she was only seven.
With her family all dead, even though she was born into the pack, she became an orphan like me. Except when she hits seventeen, she gets her wolf and her place at the pack house. I, unlike her, will become a pack slave. I won't even get my powers till the next full moon after my seventeenth birthday, not that I have anyone to teach me how to use them.
Oh yea, my birthday is supposedly in three weeks (the pack didn't know my actual birthday, so they were just guesting), And Jessicas birthday is a week and a half before mine. Maybe that's why we get along so well. The pack still has a birthday party for her, with a cake and gifts since she is technically still a member. Even though they don't have a party for me, she always keeps a few gifts wrapped to give to me, and she even makes me a small birthday cake since I don't get a party because I'm not part of the pack.
Sometimes I wish I was never born. My life has been long and miserable. But Jessica is always trying to make it better. We spend most of our nights in our small room, on our bunkbeds talking. It's always about something different. Jess says it's so I don't get bored, but I think it's just because she doesn't like repeating herself. But Goddess, does she love to talk, and I love to listen.
"Rainie bug... Rainie... Rain!" Jess yells while kicking the bottom of the top bunk in an attempt to wake me up.
"I'm up, I'm up!" I whine, wiping my eyes.
"Oh, thank the Goddess for another beautiful, sunny day." Jess beams while looking out the window. "I'm so excited, I can't believe just two more weeks, and I'll be getting my wolf and be able to scent out my mate! I hope he's handsome."
"Jess, what's a mate?" I ask while climbing down from the top bunk of our bunk bed.
"A mate is your other half, your soul mate, the person that is supposed to love and cherish you for the rest of your life." She says with a smile on her face.
"Will I get a mate?" I ask, thinking how nice it sounds.
"I'm not sure. I don't know much about how all that stuff works when it comes to witches and humans." She says as we walk through the hall.
"Oh, ok," I responded flatly. I knew it sounded too good to be true for me.
"Don't worry Rainie bug. Mate or not, you'll always have me by your side." She says with a smile.
"I love you, Jess," I say with a small smile of my own as I walk down the stairs of the orphanage and towards the kitchen to start cooking breakfast for the younger orphans.
After they've all eaten, Jess and I make sure they're all dressed and have everything they need before Jess walks with them to school. When everyone is gone, it's time to get to my daily cleaning. There are eight bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room, and two bathrooms to clean, then I move on to the laundry and make the beds before starting dinner for everyone. I'm the only that's had to clean and cook since I was eight. Ms.Leana says it's to prepare and train me for when I turn seventeen and become the pack slave, and they move me to the packhouse basement.
"Rain, I'm home from school," Jess calls out as she walks up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms where I am. As I turn around, she can see the panic on my face, and she realizes I'm not done with the cleaning or even started dinner. We both know if everything isn't done and perfect when Ms.Leana arrives for her weekly show-off walk-through with the Alpha to show him how clean she keeps everything, she'll be embarrassed in front of the Alpha, and I'll get wiped again.
"Oh no. You're not even completely healed from the last lashes you got." She says, panicking as she jumps into action, running to start the laundry and dinner as I finish the last two rooms. After about twenty minutes, the floors are swept and mopped, the kids' toys are in their bins, the beds are nicely made, and the windows have all been wiped down.
"Only thing left is the stairs," I say to myself as I quickly grab my wet rag and sprint out the bedroom door and down the hall. As I get to the first step and start wiping them down, the front door opens, "I'm fucked" I whisper to myself, making sure I say it low enough so they don't hear it. I walk down the stairs and turn the corner. Ms.Leana walks a few feet behind the Alpha as he inspects the house. She sees me hiding in the corner, and if looks could kill, I'm pretty sure I would already be dead.
After ten minutes of the Alpha walking through the house doing his inspection, he congratulates Ms.Leane on keeping everything clean, hands her a bonus check, and leaves. As soon as he's gone, I know what to expect. She grabs me by the hair and drags me down to the basement, where she keeps her whips. She chains my wrist to the wall and rips my shirt to expose my back.
"You little bitch." I clothe you and feed you. And yet you choose to embarrass me in front of my Alpha!" She yells as she swings the whip down hard onto my bare back.
"No, Ms.Leana, I'm sorry. It was a mistake. Please forgive me." I plead with her threw gritted teeth and trying my hardest not to cry because I know that crying will only make it worse for me. The only thing she hates more than being made to look bad in front of the Alpha is a crying orphan girl. Well, that and me.
After a few more lashes from her whip, she's finally done. "Clean yourself up and get supper ready. The kids will be home from school soon and want to eat." She states before walking back up the stairs and out the front door to go shopping with her nice bonus."Oh Goddess Rainie, this time is worse than the last. Why doesn't she understand you're not a wolf, and you take so much longer to heal." Jess cries as she walks down the stairs unlocking the chains holding my wrist to the wall and assessing the damage done to my back. "Hold still so I can clean you up."
"There's no time Jess. I have to get supper ready before the kids get home from school," I say, trying to get to my feet."It's already done now stay still as I told you so I can get you cleaned up." She says as she wipes down my back gently with a warm wet rag. "You don't want the kids to see you like this, do you?"
"You're a lifesaver. What am I going to do without you when you leave?" I say.Rain's P.O.V. Opening my eyes, I look around to find someone has laid me down in our bed next to Zion. He's covered in bruises and has bandages wrapped around his chest and down his left arm. I try to reach over, but I realize my body is sore and stiff, and I can barely move. "Oh, thank Goddess, you're awake." Jess gasps, walking through the door. "How are the pups?" I ask the first thing that crosses my mind. "All three are safe and sleeping. Lady Ezmerelda is in the nursery with the twins, and Odett fell asleep watching a movie with Sam in the living room." She answered while walking over to my side of the bed. "Is Douglas dead?" I ask, slowly starting to remember everything that happened. "You leveled everything in the area. Orian found you unconscious, covered in blood, but he didn't think it was yours. He said it smelled like Douglas and his minions. You didn't even have a scratch on you." She said with a smile, helping me to sit up. "How is everyone?" I ask
Rain's P.O.V. After recovering from whatever hit me, I turned to see a female who looked so much like Lady Lena that it threw me off. Zion is just as surprised as I am, his face mirroring my surprised expression. Then I realized that the restraints that held Douglas in place were released, letting him recover and stand beside the lookalike as a group of his rogue army stood behind them. "Who the hell are you, and why do you look eerily similar to a dead woman?" Zion asks after he shifts back to his human form and takes his place beside me. "You must be talking about my twin. That foolish bitch refused to leave that weak coven and decided to go against me. She got what was coming to her." She said with a cackel. "I even offered to take her with me after I kidnapped you, but she refused and even tried to fight me. She might have been our parent's favorite, but she was weak, always letting everyone fight her battles for her." "You're
Zion's P.O.V. After Rain's speech, Mia suggested opening gifts, so Jessica and I helped her up and started walking towards the chair designed like her throne where all the gifts were. Midway through the walk, Rain started feeling some pain and leaned over on me. When I asked if she was okay, she said she was. I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, but I decided to ignore it and keep walking. Unfortunately, she doubled over before we could reach the chair, grabbing her side. I quickly picked her up and noticed liquid running down between her legs as Odett called for her in a panic. I yell for Doctor Jameson, knowing he's here somewhere. He tells me to get her to the suite when he reaches us, but I know he wants her in the makeshift delivery room. I rush through the crowd in a panic, thankful that they made a path for us, and up the stairs to our suite where I lay her down on the bed, only now noticing that our friends followed. Do
Rain's P.O.V. I stood quietly in the peaceful darkness that I'd become accustomed to and waited patiently, thankfully not feeling any pain. I didn't have to wait long as soon the brilliant silver light erupted, and Dosha and Selene emerged as the light dimmed, and I could feel their warmth radiating off of them. But soon, I notice the grim look on her face, and the peacefulness I had felt melts and gives way to caution. "Hello, my dear daughter," Selene says. "I have come to bring you a warning." "A warning about what?" I ask, my stomach in knots as panic sets in. My first thought is that something is wrong with the twins. "The twins will be fine, do not worry, my dear. I will watch over them as I did with Odett. I came with a warning about Douglas." She says, and my heart stops for a moment. "He knows that you are about to give birth and thinks that you will be in a vulnerable state. He is planning to make his move now." "S
Rain's P.O.V. When Zion opened the double doors to the Banquet Hall, I was shocked, to say the least. Everyone was talking, speculating what this gathering was all about, and then complete silence followed by gasps as everyone's gaze met Zion and me as the doors opened. I place my hand on my belly as Zion leads us into the crowded room. Everyone now has faces of relief and tears of joy streaming down their faces as they bow while we make our way past them and to a table set up for us. I feel an overwhelming sense of love and confusion pouring off of everyone in the room. As we reached our table, we were joined by the others in our group, including Morgan, Mia, and Nick, as well as King Arnald and Beta Mark. Zion pulls out a chair for me and helps me lower myself into it before he addresses the crowd. He goes into detail about the reasons for my disappearance while also apologizing to everyone for keeping them in the dark about the
Zion's P.O.V. I woke up this morning and felt something different in the air like something would happen soon, but I wasn't sure what that would be. I asked Ryker about it, but he wasn't sure either. Orian linked me to let me know that everything was ready and that everyone would start showing up in about an hour or so, but that he needed to see me in my office for an important matter. I told him that I would be down soon and quickly linked Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda to ask them to help get Rain ready while I went to handle a few things before the shower and celebrations began. As soon as I told Rain that we needed to get moving and that her sister and mother would be helping her get dressed, she started getting emotional, which I know is from the hormones. Thankfully, I saved myself by explaining that she wasn't fat, just very pregnant. That worked, and just in time, since Jessica and Lady Ezmerelda arrived the next second,
Rain's P.O.V. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep, but opening my eyes, I'm surrounded by nothing but black, and I know exactly what's going on. I found the light silver glow and walked towards it before hearing the comforting voice of the moon goddess, Selene. I can't help but smile as she comes into view before panic starts, knowing that we only have a meeting like this when something terrible has happened or will happen. "Hello, daughter. I'm glad to see you in such good spirits," Selene said with a smile of her own as she reassured me. This is a good meeting. There's no need to panic. I've come to inform you of my plans for Odett's future." "What do you mean? Won't she be the next Werewolf Queen?" I ask her, my voice thick with confusion and fear. Was she planning to take Odett away from me and Zion? I don't want to lose her, but I know that Selene will always make the best decisions, and there's nothing I can do or
Zion's P.O.V. After Luna Morgan, Mia, and Nick's arrival, I quickly linked with Orian to suggest we give them time to catch up with each other. I say that, but in reality, I wanted to save myself and the others from the headache their squeals would cause. Don't get me wrong, I love the excitement in my mate's voice, but there are too many females in this suite at the moment. Orian agrees but thinks we should take Nick with us. "Do we have to?" I ask. "Yes, remember he was the one that drove them here. I imagine he's heard enough and needs a break." He responds with a laugh. "Fine," I tell him with a huff before turning my attention to my mate. "Well, ladies, King Arnald, Beta Mark, Orian, Sam, Nick, and I will leave y'all to the planning." We left the suite and made our way to my office on the first floor. Once in my office, I offer everyone a drink, and they accept. Orian pours everyone a glass and hands them out as we s
Rain's P.O.V. After returning to our suite, we all sat around and ate lunch while conversing about different things. I noticed Zion and Orian suddenly got quiet, and when I looked over, I could tell they were talking through the link. I automatically got nervous, thinking something had happened, but then I heard someone approaching the door before there was a knock. When no one moves, and Zion helps me up from the couch, asking me to get the door, I grow suspicious but still make my way to the door anyway. I notice no one is talking, but I know Zion wouldn't be put in harm's way. As I open the door, I'm hit with Mia and Morgans's excitement and their high-pitched squeals, and I can't help but let out my own squeal. "What are y'all doing here?" I ask them in disbelief. "We're here for your baby shower," Mia says while looking over my shoulder at everyone. "What baby shower?" I asked, whirling around to look at Zion. "Ask Jess
