"Shit Rain don't do this alone, I told you...I'll help you, the pack will help you. Anything Rain. This is not the fucking way!"
I could feel his rage, I could feel my body was being carefully carried back into my room. I saw our pack doctor, and then darkness came again. I didn't know how long I was out, but the sun was shining when I see Grant was pacing on my doorway talking on his phone.
I grunted as I try to get up, but then my thigh feels like it was going to rip apart. Grant quickly move to my side and gave me a glass of water and some pills.
"Drink this, to numb the pain..." he held my back to help me sit and swallow the pills.
"Thank you. I'm..."
"First of all... promised me you won't be doing that kind of stupid thing again without me or Grey. I'm not going to tell you again. Don would have my head for what just happened." He said in his stern manner.
"I know, I just thought it might not work...I haven't done it in awhile, I didn't actually expect that it would work."
"Just as long as you know. So, what did you actually accomplished aside from the flesh ripping, painful wound to your thigh?" Grant asked taking a chair, flipping it to the front and sat before me with his arms rest on the back of the chair.
I sighed and started telling him everything that had happened, and the conclusion. Grant nodded to my explanation, and told me that he would get Grey involved in this matter. And that they would wait until I was better, to do another summoning.
"This healing process can be speed up you know that right?" I asked wanting to get my revenge settled quickly. Cause I already know that I could do it, and I wanted it to be dealt with soonest.
"Yes. I'm ahead of you, I already talked to the sheer and she will send The Healer to quicken your healing process. We should be able to start your ritual in a couple more days."
"I want it all to be over with, I want my peace for having avenge his death already. I'm tired Grant. I want to go to him, I've tried several times already but the thought of him being disappointed in me made me backed down. Every fucking time." I said wiping my tears roughly.
"I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through Rain, but I'm glad that you decided to stay and make him proud."
Grant move to my side and gives me his brotherly hug. I stayed in his arms as he lulled me to sleep, and then darkness came to me as I close my eyes to sleep.
It was dark when the nightmare came. I saw him being torn apart by the demon creatures. I could hear his pain, his cry for help, while I was just standing there couldn't do anything. I couldn't reach him. He was crying out my name, he was begging me to come and save him.
I finally woke up drenched in sweat. My heart beats fast, my hands trembled and my tears falls freely. I got up and go to the kitchen, fighting my way through the pain, groaning and excreting cold sweat.
"Hey...Rain, what are you doing up from the bed? Come on let me help you..."
"Grey, thanks...when... did...you get here..." I said while struggling from the pain, with each step that I took.
"Couple of hours ago. Grant didn't want me to leave you alone, and he was damn right about it."
"Thanks...nightmares. I need water for the pills, to help me get back to sleep."
"I know I have been busy for you, but Grant sends me to do dozens of errands. I hate that I couldn't be there for you, but I'm here now. Do you want to talk? Or...do you want me to tell you a dirty joke?" He said casually, while giving me a glass of water.
Grey has always been the clown in our pack. He would always know what to say to rectify the situation and make everyone feels better.
"I'm as good as can be expected Grey..." I sighed as he help me to sit on the couch.
We talked for awhile until he ushered me back to my bed. He stayed and told me about his duties until I fall back to sleep.
I could feel my body was burning up, my teeth chattered from the fever that I was suddenly experiencing. I could feel the warm sun was shining on my side of the bed, but my body shivered as I feel an immense rush of cold flowing throughout my body.
"Grey..." I could barely hear my own voice, but he came to my side instantly.
"Shit! you're burning up...hang on the healer is scheduled to be here shortly, I was just on the phone with Grant."
Grey was helping me up to sit, and was about to given the usual medication when there was a knock at the door.
"Hold on for me Rain...that must be him." He caressed my cheek and rest me back to the bed, after pulling and covering my body with the thick blanket.
He was back in seconds with Amos, the Healer. The older man looked at me with an understanding look. He knows about me and Don, it was not the first time that he saw me. Don had been injured several times in the past, but Amos had tried but fail to revive him on that forsaken day.
"My son. You are a strong man, you will live a long life..." he kept on speaking while preparing me for his ritual. The light blue candles were lit, the incense were burn, then he started chanting his spell.
I saw Grey looking at us from the far corner of the room, knowing that the ritual needs to be done exactly as is, without any interruption. Amos pulled away my blanket and looked at my wound. He hovered his palms above it and start chanting the old language, I was familiar with the ritual but his power was above mine. He came from an older lineage of ancestral witches who were linked to kings and queens, and all the great leaders and warriors ever existed.
It was known among the witches that he works with Demon Buer, who is one of the demon Goetia which held the president rank with fifty legions under his reign. That said demon would appear and assist witches and healers in their rituals, but only a few had actually saw him.
The sandalwood scent was evident as the incense were placed by the foot of my bed. Then seconds later I could feel as the wounds were stitching itself back together, it felt like small needles were pinching my skin and sewing it closed although it had been stitched already by the pack doctor.
I was groaning and sweating bullets as the pain was getting to be unbearable, my hands were gripping the sheets while I try my hardest to keep my body still and let Amos do his work. His chants start to get louder as the air around us were getting thick. I was breathing through my mouth, until he was silent in a matter of seconds then the hurt was gone and the fever vanished.
I finally sighed and try to sit myself up, and rest my back to the headboard. I was feeling better already. It always confuses me, how his power can be so strong yet he couldn't save my Don.
And as if he could read my thoughts, which was exactly what the rumor was among the witches. Amos put his hand on my shoulder, and shook his head knowingly.
"His death was planned by the gods above, you have to be strong. Happiness will come to you, the gods has other plans for you and Don was just a small pawn in their great plan, just like I am right now."
"Amos..." my eyes started to get teary and my blood boil feeling my hate towards the gods.
Fuck the gods!
"No. Your next mission is to summon the Demon and avenge Don's death, then the wheels will be in motion and your faith will be reveal. All in good time time son."
With that last words, he left me sitting alone thinking about my so called future. To which I was dreading to face, not without Don, not without my mate.
I was actually feeling better the next day, and was already up and about ready to start the summoning. But Grant insisted that we do it the next day.As he was the Alpha, I obviously relent to his wishes. Grant was at my place the next day, while Grey never leave my side since the day he arrived."Okay, let's do this. Keep the demon in the circle then we will shackle the beast. Let's do this quickly, then use your power to questioned the demon. We need to make sure that the northern pack was the one who sent them. We have war in front of us and we have to make sure it's really them."The ritual had been set up before his arrival and Grey was already in his position. I started lighting the candles and burning the incense. The book was in front of me, I was making sure that everything goes as planned.Then it happened, moments later the demon appeared and almost got me. But Grant was fast, and together
I feel that this story is taking turn for the worst with every chapter, it has been a very sad beginning for me. But you have to understand that Don was my mate, he was my everything. He was supposed to be my ever after.That was until the Gods decided to fuck with my life, and screw me the hardest way possible by eliminating my one and only love. Yes, they were cruel in their own way.But months after the tragedy, I was feeling better. I was functioning like a normal human being... most of the time.Laurie would come and check up on me from time to time, since I was no longer living with the pack. I had moved out permanently into my own house, couple of days after they avenged Don's death.I would see Grant and Grey every couple of weeks, for a gathering or pack meeting. I was moving on with my life, slowly... but I was coping and healing with the help of Laurie for the first month. Then
I could hear Shani was arguing with the fallen angel, but I was done with everything at this stage. I wanted everything to be done with."But you! I don't care that you're the king of hell. He's hurting bad... very very bad, you need to..." she was defending me, and that's how I know that he was the King of hell.I decided to block their conversation and get back to my task. I was opening my book, then laid out all of my stuff on the dinning table. I didn't stop, I didn't look at them. But the memory of him would sneak up to me from time to time.Wiping my tears roughly, I took a deep breath then start placing everything on the table, and continue on with mixing all the ingredients.I could feel the King was watching me
I didn't know what time it was, but I was still in hell. A very comfortable one. The bed moved and dipped on my other side, I was about to get up when I feel the feathery touch of his wing pulling me closer to him.Then his hand snaked to my stomach, while his low sultry voice resonates to my ear."Morning...how are you feeling today?""How do you know it's morning?" I turned to face him, he pulled me in closer and kissed the top of my head.It has been months since I lay with another man in bed. I was feeling cozy being engulfed in his embrace. And I snuggled in closer to him, making him chuckled."You just feel it, you will know the difference in a couple of weeks."
His words lingered on my mind. Why deny the feelings?After we're back from the royal bath, he didn't leave my side not until I agreed to stay in hell with him. And I finally did, only after he assured me that I could leave anytime I wanted.Though honestly I was torn in half, my mind was telling me to go back up. But I also know that there was nothing for me there. I didn't have anything to go back to on earth, except long years of a solitary life until my dying days.But here my wolf was tortured, and he was getting more violent with every crawlers life he took. I got agitated more easily, yet every time Ranulf was in the room I calm down instantly in his arms.Couple of days went by, when he told me that Shani was having i
He left me, my wolf growled at me and vanished leaving me confused with myself. I hugged my knees as I close my eyes, but then all I could feel was his touches. His deep sexy voice, his kisses and his handsome face.Shit!That day I busied myself assisting Shani, with her second attempt to communicate with her elders. Arkael joined us, I could see she hesitated but try to remain calm and carry on with the ritual.It took almost two hours, but it finally ended. She was draining Arkael's energy, he fainted and become very lethargic to the point that she was having a fit.Maven and the nymphs were helping her, I was by her side until she was laying beside him as he recuperated. And that was when I decided to leave her, and give
"You two lovebirds decided to finally join us." Ranulf said casually as his hand was rubbing my back. I was not comfortable with his casual public display of affection, but he wouldn't let me move away from his side."You look like you're enjoying yourself too my King." Arkael said smirking at my fallen angel.My what?"I'm not complaining. So, Shani... Rain here had explained to me about your elders saying they want to restore balance to hell. It's an easy enough task that I can help you with. Though I gather that they were more into wanting to secure their realm..." Ranulf started to explain himself, as I sit comfortably by his side."...since I actually think and believe that Rain is very good at what he do, he can help yo
Arkael had Muriel bathe me, then he had Maven take care of my slashed arm. I didn't even flinch, I was numbed, I was done. My wolf was finally done.I released a deep breath when I reached Ranulf's side and my wolf snuggled in closer to him. I was lying beside him in silence, which feels like the longest time. My mind was finally at peace, until...There was a little twitch, I could barely feel it. But his body definitely moved."You smells nice my little wolf." Ranulf said with his raspy voice, but then he fell quiet as he drifted back to sleep.My wolf let out a low whining noise, and nuzzled himself closer to the king. Slowly the white streaks on his wings changed to a darker shade of grey color.
