Rainn
My eyes flew up to meet Kai's as my mouth went completely slack, I was trying to read him right now but he seemed so calm, what did he mean that he knows, and are we even talking about the same thing right now. We surely couldn't be talking about the same thing because if we were then he wouldn't be this calm. He would be shouting and screaming at Fala, surely right?
"What do you mean, you know?"
Kai looked down at me as he smirked, wiping stray tears from my cheek he gently placed a peck against my nose,
"Your face goes all puffy when you cry, but you're still the most beautiful girl, you know that?"
"Stop changing the subject, Kai, what do you know?" My brows furrowed as I pulled my face back to show my point of irritation, sighing he furrowed his brow in response,
"I know about the deal Fala made, I know what her mom did, I overheard them talking about it just the other day."
"And yet you'
RainnBeau and I made our way downstairs twenty minutes later after we had gone for a quick shower and changed into some fresh clothes, the looks we got from Fala were enough to make me feel completely self-conscious. If not for the fact that my mate was standing right beside me I know I would have completely turned beetroot red."Um, so who wants coffee?"Honestly, I didn't know what else to say, the fact that both Kai and Fala had walked in on Beau and me having sex was more than I could take, not so much Fala but Kai... ah man that was one moment in my life I wanted to erase right there and then."So you guys ready to discuss the reason we're here?" Kai seemed slightly annoyed, more than he was before."Of course, let's get something to drink, coffee, tea?" Beau asked before I even could.It felt really strange having Beau waiting on anyone in the packhouse, but especially his own brother. How things had cha
RainnI find Kai halfway down the dirt road and I start running to catch up to him, I call out to him but he doesn't stop, he's marching off towards his parents' house and I know I have to stop him, he can't go barging in there with his wolf ready to take someone's head off."Kai!" I'm shouting his name now as I pick up the pace, but he's still not stopping or answering me. My wolf feels annoyed and I suddenly start sprinting towards him, and as I'm about to crash into him he swings around to face me which causes me to do just that.My body collides against his hard chest with an oomph as he grips my shoulders to steady me from falling, my eyes fly up to meet his hardened stare on mine."Go home, Rainn, I need to be alone." His voice sounds cold and disconnected and it feels like being punched in the gut to see him in so much pain, "I can't do that, best friends don't leave each other when the other one is hurting." My words come out hopeful, hopeful that he would allow me to be ther
Rainn The moment Kai and I barge into the packhouse I'm literally feeling like I can't breathe, I'm clutching on to the drawing we just dug up, a picture I drew when I was just a kid, the most startling part is the name attached to it, Groban. As if sensing my distress, Beau comes rushing out of the kitchen in an instant with Fala right behind him, she looks a mess, her perfect pixie-like complexion tells me that she's been crying, but I can't focus on that right now because it feels like I'm about to have an out of body experience at any second. You know the moment you realize that you've known about something far longer than you thought you had, but that somehow you had just forgotten about it, yeah it's like that except worse. I feel like puking as I fall into Beau's arms, not being able to even get out one single word. It's Kai who ends up speaking because as pissed off as he is right now about the whole Fala situation, I'm the one having the panic attack. "What the fuck is go
RAINN It's the next morning and I haven't seen Beau, he never came home last night after he stormed out of the pack house. I can't remember ever seeing him so upset, and yes, I know I messed up big time. Laying in bed I'm in no mood to even get up, I know I have a lot to do today, there's pack business to attend to, tribe rituals to adhere to, and in the mix of all the chaos, I'm weirding out over some guy I'm connected whom I don't even know. And on top of all of what's already so overwhelming, I had to find Beau's tipping point, kissing Kai... I'm so stupid, why would I even do something like that? I love Beau with all my heart and soul, kissing Kai was a stupid mistake, a moment in which I stumbled. And why? Closure for something I had with him since I was born, something I thought would always be ours. The moment I looked into his eyes and saw the gutwrenching pain in them, I instantly felt guilty for the happiness I had with Beau. I acted and he reacted, the only thing I felt w
Rainn POV Running, running… always running through the forests. It seems like all we’ve ever been taught was how to run, how to hide and how to avoid those who are not like us, humans… witches and creatures exploding left, right and above the norm of our mythical legends. Let’s be realistic here, our reality wasn’t part of what was considered “normal,” but we knew that our pack, our people, our wolves, and our beasts were more humane than humans ever could be. I felt myself being pulled along the forest floor, like a wave of innocence being ripped away from a young child. Who cared? Not me, I didn’t care about the ones who got hurt, they were not my problem. I was the daughter of the alpha of tribe Arcane, of the children of Gaia. My father was alpha Edgar and my mother was luna Gabriella, we were, no- we are the stronghold of the children of Gaia and we are here to restore peace. *** “Don’t
Rainn POV As I sat at the kitchen table picking at the bagel still in my hands I was quickly pulled from my reverie as my dad cleared his throat, my eyes shot up to him as I began nodding, a smirk on my face as I thought of Kai. “I’m super excited, can’t wait for my birthday dad. I’ll finally be able to have Kai mark me, it’s all I’ve ever wanted." And as I spoke those words a weird spark shot through the place where Beau had held onto my arm just two days ago, my brows furrowed as I cupped my other hand over the spot, not understanding why I had felt it and why I was feeling it right now. My parents both gave each other a concerned look before facing me again, “Everything okay sweetheart?” nodding I merely pulled my headphones on over my ears and was about to cram up the volume to my tunes when mom came to pull them away from my ears, “Well, in preparation for your birthday and union with Kai. Your dad and I have a lot to d
Rainn POV After arriving back at our pack house mom and dad came out to meet Fala as they embraced her with hugs, with my brows knitted tightly together I quickly tried to shake off their closeness with her, I still couldn’t shake this strange feeling deep within the pit of my stomach. Kai gently shook me from my reverie as he touched my arm and gently pulled me towards him, looking up at his face I could pick up something was wrong but he quickly hid before pulling my lips against his as he snaked his hands around my waist. It was the first time that he had ever shown this type of public affection towards me in front of my parents, I guess with it being four days to go he didn’t really care anymore, or maybe it was also more that he wanted to make it abundantly clear to Fala that we were together, I don’t know- but I felt myself kissing him back vigorously even though my parents were only a few feet away. Suddenly my dad shouted fr
It was the following day already, two more days to our birthdays I thought as I sat at the kitchen table sipping on my cup of coffee. Mom entered as per usual to start breakfast and was clearly surprised to see me sitting at the table with my feet up on the chair, my knees pulled close to my chest just staring at the vacantly empty table, the look of being there in body but not in mind was probably the best way to describe me at this moment. But I guess what surprised mom more was that I was the first one in the kitchen this morning, I was never the first one up, not ever. “Good morning sweetheart, you’re up early. You sleep alright?” She asked clearly concerned by my absent minded appearance. I just nodded but didn’t meet her gaze, instead I kept my eyes fixed on my erratic thoughts dancing around the kitchen table like a demon possessed. I was losing my mind slowly, because even after Kai and I had had that talk yesterday morn
