'' 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 and there to look for her. '' She's not here,'' Leah added.
'' Rain,'' Bella shouts again. '' Where are you?''. '' Hey shut up,'' Leah snarled at her with a slap on the cheek. At this time Rain and Odin were now hiding behind the bushes. They managed to escape from there in time.
This time Rain was in the laps of Odin her back facing his chest. She was trying to suppress her heart which was crying for her friend Bella. After a while, they decide to head back. They took Bella away from there too.
Seeing that there was no one there Odin lets go of her. '' They have left,'' he said. '' Bella, They were torturing her because of me. I can't accept that,'' Rain bursts out in tears now.
Odin was not able to understand how to calm her down now. '' Don't cry, none of this is your fault here. It's because of the hierarchical society we all are living in.''
'' But what will you do now? Go back? I don't think you will be safe there any longer. You should leave the pack,'' he advised looking at her. '' There's no way I can do that. Bella, I can't leave my friend alone, and we can't get to because of the hunters. So we have to remain in this place no matter what. Thanks for your worry but I can't leave this place.''
Odin was starting to feel pity for her now. This kind of treatment is not done in his pack but it's not the same in every pack. He's not allowed to interfere in other pack's affairs.
There's nothing for him to do here. For a while, he stayed by her side. '' Are you alright? Do you want to go back now?'' asked Odin touching her hand. She nods giving a smile back at him.
'' Thanks for the help-'' she again saw a premonition. There was he and she walking together hand in hand in the field of flowers. This thought made butterflies flying in her stomach.
'' Is there anything wrong ?'' he asked. ''Hmm yes, don't worry. I will, be leaving then. Thanks for your help,'' she said with a smile. '' We will meet again right?''. He had no answer to that question now.
'' I don't know, but be careful of those women. It's not like I will be there all the time to save you will I? So be careful of them. I will be crossing the village border. Can you go back on your own?'' he asked.
She didn't nod or reply. He was not able to understand what she was trying to say or do. Odin lets out a sigh. '' What's wrong with you huh? What are you planning?'' he asked grabbing hold of her shoulders.
Then she replies, '' Do you think that you can stay till the morning? I am feeling afraid to cross the forest at night. So if you could, stay with me till the light comes up. Is that too much to ask? It must be, you must have work rather than staying with someone like me right? You can go, see you,'' she was turning away and leaving.
It was at this time she felt him grab onto her hand from behind stopping her from leaving. '' Why are you going away without listening to me? I am not that busy that I will have work in the middle of the night. You can tell me what's wrong with you. Or if you want to talk I may listen to you. I am already feeling about your eyesight so this is the last thing I can do for you. So, if you want I will stay till the light comes up.'' He grunted.
She could see the spark of hope lighting in her heart. '' What if you could live again? Then you would want to live your life to the fullest.'' Rain believed this quote to this day. This was told by her dad when she was little.
Rain and Odin sit beside each other. Rain decides to ask him about how he grew up. He was not opening up to her at first but he did so anyway. Like that it was beginning to be dawn.
'' So you remember all the books in your house? Then how did you lost your eyesight?'' he asked out of surprise. But she had already fallen asleep by then. Her face was leaning onto his shoulder.
She was grabbing onto his clothes. Looking at her sleeping face he was feeling enchanted by her. He reached out his hand to touch her cheek. Her lips looked so soft and tender to him.
But even though he could touch her cheek he stopped himself from doing that. '' Guess I will stay here till the sun comes up,'' he thought. '' What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into. It's so strange when I hardly like to talk with people. What's so special about her that's making me not leave her side?''.
He stayed by her side when it was morning the left her sleeping out of the forest so she won't have to trouble herself any further. On the way, he said,'' It's not like me to be so caring towards people. Then why am I doing this for? I can't understand what's wrong with me.''
He looked at the morning sky which was looking brilliant than ever.
''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.
Odin was taken aback thinking why he arrived in front of Rain's house even though he didn't want to. His eyes stuck to the entrance thinking Rain might come out anytime and see him. He stood still freezing as if the whole world around him has stopped moving. His beta came in front of him and waved his fingers in front of Odin trying to attract his attention. '' What happened to Lord? He's not moving. Where is he looking at exactly?'' his beta also stared at the location of Rain's house. '' Does he know this house? Why's he acting as if he has seen a dead person walking?''. '' Lord,'' his beta called again in a loud voice than before, moving him a little. Odin was back to his senses now. He stared at the face of Beta, which freaked him out. Odin pinched his nose in response to that. '' What are you doing in front of me?''. '' Ouch,'' he cried out. '' Leave my small nose alone. Ouch, leave it.'' Odin left it rig
