Rainn I was completely shocked by everything that happened while questioning Malik. It seemed like she needed some space to process everything, so I decided to give her the spare room next to mine so she could get a good night's sleep. I wasn't sure that I could keep my hands off her for much longer, everything about her lured me in. It seemed like she was disappointed in my decision for her to stay in the next room and when we got to the room and I went to say good night to her, she pulled away from me. I thought maybe she was still processing whatever she saw, so I left her alone and went back down to the kitchen with Liam. When he saw me walk back in, he was shaking his head. "Man, sometimes you are so dumb", he laughed. "What are you talking about?" "I love you, you’re my brother, but dang, did you not see how upset she was that you pushed her off into the guest room?" I started to regret my decision immediately. "She needed you even if it was just to hold her and comfort her and
Adalyn Two weeks have flown by since I found out that I could dream walk and about being destined mates with Rainn. We let Malik out of the cell, and he explained who was after the guys. They have made a lot of enemies being hunters for so long, but now they have found themselves in the crosshairs of a demon lord by the name of Beherit. According to Malik, Beherit is a storm demon who Rainn and Liam had a kill order on his second in command and brother Apollyon. He said that after they killed him Beherit went crazy and has been plotting his revenge ever since. They knew who he meant immediately, and we have been training hard every day since. Three days ago, we had a visit from Jamison, who is the weapons specialist for the Vindicta. Rainn thought it would be a good idea for me to choose my specialty weapon. He told me to choose wisely and that I would know when I held it. I walked down the table that the guys had set up and picked up each weapon, from guns to throwing stars but no
Rainn Adalyn and I had the most amazing bonding ever and she finally marked me. I couldn't believe how good it felt, but then it all went to shit. That was three weeks ago. She's been in what the doctors have called a self-induced coma ever since. They have been able to do nothing to get her to wake up. I broke down and called Ard'al hoping that maybe he would know something. He came as soon as he could. He didn't tell the council where he was going because I wasn't ready for them to find out about Adalyn yet. He's been here for a week and a half in the library trying to research anything that could help us. I've been an absolute mess, not eating, not sleeping and barely showering. I haven't left her side for longer than necessary. I crawled into bed next to her as gently as I could, hoping that it would help, and thought back to all the events prior to her coma. Watching her take on Malik was amazing, even if I wanted to rip his throat out for what he said to her. She was
Adalyn All that's around me is darkness. I tried to open my eyes, but I felt so weak. I needed to get back to Rainn, that was the only thought running through my head. I mustered all the strength I could and finally pushed my eyes open. The room was dark and at first it didn't look like anyone was in here. I tried to adjust myself on the bed, "Rainn?", I called weakly. My throat was scratchy and even whispering hurt. I heard movement from across the room and a figure came running over to me. "Adalyn, are you truly awake? Rainn's going to be so happy." "Liam, where is Rainn and what happened?" "I think it would be better if you heard it from him but let me get you some water and I will get him." He went into the bathroom and brought me a glass of water which I drank in two gulps. Then he went out into the hallway and yelled for Rainn. I heard loud thuds, and it sounded like he was running. Rainn walked through the door cautiously, never taking his eyes off me. When he
Adalyn When I woke up, I swung my hand over to Rainns side. He was not there, and the bed was only slightly warm. I figured he was downstairs making breakfast for us, so I headed into the bathroom, did my business and got dressed for the day. I headed for the stairs when I heard a female's laugh echo through the downstairs, and I froze. I snuck down the stairs and rounded the corner, staying out of sight and hoping that Liam had brought someone over. Once I got closer and started hearing the conversation my heart squeezed painfully. "Why won't you let me go upstairs Rainn?", the woman said teasingly. He smirked and looked down at the woman, "I didn't say you couldn't go upstairs, I said that you needed to away from my wing." I stood there dumbfounded and almost in tears that he was allowing this woman to get this close to him. She laughed and put her hand on his shoulder, and at that moment, I lost all control. My body was glowing purple and Rainn's eyes lit up when he fina
Rainn "It's Malik." As soon as those words came out of my mouth Adalyn lost it. I threw the car in reverse and peeled out of the parking lot, heading home as fast as I could. The gate was still open when I flew into the driveway. Adalyn jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped and ran into the house. I parked and ran through the house and down into the basement. Malik was almost unrecognizable and there was blood everywhere. The doctor was there and trying to save him but having no luck. Ophelia was holding a crying Adalyn and then it looked like a lightbulb went off in her head. She pushed out of Ophelia's arms and headed towards Malik. "Adalyn, I know you want to do, but remember what we said", I called to her. "Do you trust these people?" I looked around the room and all the closest people in my life were staring back at me. "With my life." "But do you trust them with mine", she asked. "Yes, I do." "Then let me do this, let me save him", she pleaded with me. I nodded
Adalyn Everyone was shocked at Liam's outburst. Mercer stepped forward. He was 6'3 all muscle with pale skin, black hair, and hazel eyes with just a tinge of red. "I'll go after him and bring him back so we can figure out what is going on." I just kept calling her repeatedly until Rainn came over and took the phone out of my hands. "Addie, we are going to find her", he tried to reassure me. "I have to call her brother and tell him." "Not yet my love let's make sure she's missing first and then we can call him." I agreed but I couldn't stop shaking, I knew something bad had happened and I knew the horrors that Typhon had inflicted on her. "What if he has her again?" "Baby I promise if he does, we will find her and bring her back." "Elodie when Mercer gets back with Liam, I need you two to go to Tabby's apartment and do some recon. I'm sure that Addie will give you, her address." Elodie moved so fast and was right next to me, I jumped. She inclined her head and I just had to
Rainn I can't believe that my brother found his destined mate and didn't tell me. I sent Adalyn upstairs to get changed for training and turned on him. "Why didn’t you tell me?" He put his head down, "You had just found Addie and I was angry and upset that she was there with someone else and didn't even acknowledge me. I let my emotions cloud my judgment and it will be the biggest regret I will ever have in this life. I shouldn't have let her go." "You know how important mates are to us. Even if she was there with that guy, you still don't know for sure whether or not she felt anything." "Look Rainn, I know I messed up, seeing you with Addie makes me realize it even more." He looked so defeated. I had never seen him like this in all our years together. "We will find her Liam." "Maybe we will, but what state will she be in when we do? Will she even be able to accept me? Who knows what that psycho is doing to her." "Right now, we need to focus on finding her and then we will
