-RAINA’S POV- Nothing is impossible. Luna Sianna left me with those words after she expressed her disappointment about my downcast view regarding my mate bond. Can you blame me? Unfortunate soulmates are two people joined by a mate bond but not intended to be together. Though it might be too early to determine that. The appearance of Azara and Venus re-entering the room wiped all blizzarding thoughts from my head. "I can't wait to get the hell out of this hospital," I complained to my girls, scrunching my face. Haphazardly, I flopped my back down on the bed. “Ow!” These four walls were an imprisonment for anxiety attacks and nightmares. I was a very active person in comparison to being bedridden for almost twenty-four hours. I missed training with my Dad, kicking male warriors' asses, hanging with the gang, and being free to do whatever and wherever. Venus, Azara, and I were rather outgoing. We were the girls to invite if you wanted your party to be a blast. Displaying major conc
-RAINA’S POV- "This way." Elder Miriam beckoned us and guided Devin inside the enchanted circle of the ritual temple floor, which was just below the white marble stone altar. Gently, his arms lowered and positioned me to lay on my back in the center of the pack insignia. It was already prepped and thus glowed rose beige once Devin exited the circle. The incense of sweet herbs from the altar filled my smelling senses as Miriam lit all nine blue candles. It was unexpected that Elder Victor was present while the other four elders were not. He might have shown up to support his grandson, Valen. He stroked his Ceasar-cut Mallen streak, thinned his lips into a smile, and turned his forest green eyes to stare at his son, who whispered something to him. Mom, Dad, Luna Queen Sianna, Alpha King Vance, Marlena, the pack witch, Devin, and Valen surrounded me at the edge of the circle. All peered down on me with optimism. "We're here for you, sweetheart," Mom whispered. "Hang tight. It'll be
-RAINA’S POV- He was gone in an instant. Just like that, my happy moment smashed and my heart scattered in pieces in my chest. Will he forever be tearing out my heart, the one that beats only for him? Before my thoughts went further, Luna Sianna rested a hand on my shoulder and stated, "I'm sure that he's happy for you." "See you later, Cuz." Devin bid me good night, following Valen out the doors of the ritual temple. "Sure," I sadly responded. I wanted to run after them. However, Dad and Mom encased me on both sides with a loving hug. "You should go. I'll lock up." Alpha Vance instructed all of us. "I'll wait for you outside." Luna Sianna told him and escorted us out into the cool night. Casting a glance up at the diamond-flared silver moon, I wondered about the plans the moon goddess had for my future as its gleaming cords of moonlight hung loosely over the earth. Marlena and Miriam walked with us outside. The elder woman gazed at me saying, “Though man is born unto trouble,
-RAINA’S POV- "Did you get any more information?" I examined my sleep-deprived friend, noting the heavy bags under her eyes as I shut the car door of my royal blue Bentley and walked over to her white McLaren. We just got out of our cars and immediately convened in the parking lot of our high school. Students loitered on the compound. “Mom won’t say anything and Dad’s not here.” The corners of Venus’ mouth half-mooned downwards. Her harlequin eyes seemed slightly bloodshot from the lack of sleep. “Where did he go?” I exhorted, tugging at my cute aesthetic yellow backpack over my left shoulder. “Wolkrane Fortress.” Her tone was light but the color was worn-out from her complexion. She pressed the key fob and locked up the car, setting the alarm. “And Valen, did he come back?” My heart skipped a beat as I waited for the acknowledgment. Please say yes, I supplicated inwardly. Truly, I preferred him being here. It turned out that he left me last night to depart for Alpha Camp. Even
- RAINA’S POV- My bitch switch flipped on and I wanted to give it to her. I abruptly ceased walking and twirled to face her. “Don’t you dare accuse me of such a thing!” Thinking that my incensed voice had elevated unflatteringly loud, I quickly glanced around at the intrigued groupies that observed our bicker and blocked them out. “I can’t stop a guy from having feelings for me.” “You knew damn well that this would happen. Vaheed has literally fanned off every guy that showed interest in you. How many guys has he strangled to stay the hell away from you?” Venus’ angry aura plunged out like a slapping wave. “Didn’t you think he would want to kill your mate too?” “Guys,” Azara tried to referee, switching her place at the end and pushing to center between us. Ignoring her, I snapped, “What did you want me to do? Cut Vaheed off and end our friendship?” “Yes!” Venus assertively declared with a strong nod of the head. Taken aback, my mouth fell open. It was utterly unfair of her to d

-RAINA'S POV- As our math teacher completed writing an equation on the whiteboard for us to attempt solving, he turned and glanced at me, then at Venus. He blew out a hard breath as he placed the erasable black marker on the desk and then gave me a second plea with his green eyes, thinning his lips. I was his only option to deal with the distraught Alpha Female. Silence. When was our class ever this ghastly quiet? Venus’ devastating mood created a depressive beating cloud within the classroom that made it hard for everyone to concentrate underneath the hot atmosphere. Robbing the sun's radiant job of its rays that provided the natural lighting through the glass window panes, to feel less brilliant in its splendor. The tension in the room was unnerving for all and morbid fear reeked. She sat at the left end, by the window, with her head lying on the desk, totally in another world. When she wasn't whimpering, it was a melancholy groan that made the others cringe. I was seated on her
-RAINA’S POV- Extremely aggrieved, a list of names sprang into my head from the anger that riled in me. Sadly, he was not here to get the lashing of my whipping tongue. What the hell! He was being a dick! Blind-sighted, I gazed down the corridor cussing. Hanging up on me for some other chick was unbecoming. How do I make him pay for that? The communication was futile. I got nowhere. What's the point in telling Venus about it? Geez, I called Valen but he wouldn't talk about Vaheed. Only his jealousy perforated the conversation and then some bitch was trying to steal him away from me. Should I tell her that? I breathed out heavily with lavaging animosity. It was stupid of me to want to hear his deep sexy voice. It was so foolish to think that he'd give me special attention, since we are mates and all. I have only been daydreaming about him since I was thirteen years old. No big deal. My thoughts and emotions were searing, both racing and overcoming my mind with images of his ster
