Matthias hardly slept and was up before the sun the next morning. As soon as he woke, he spread his senses wide, searching for any signs of Raine. He got nothing. The other side of the bond was still a silent blank wall. He swept out of the room in a blur of urgency and fear.

The kitchen was still and quiet when he entered it, a strange, unnatural kind of quiet. Not the peaceful kind that came with the early morning, but the hollow silence of something missing. Matthias stood by the counter, nose perked up as he scented the room.

He stood by the threshold, scanning the room like his presence alone could summon the woman he was looking for. But he got nothing. There was no sign of Raine at the table, no half drunk cup of tea left to cool on the table. Just cold air and the faint scent of ash drifting in from the half-burned logs in the fireplace.

Raine was not in this house.

She probably hadn’t been since yesterday morning.

Matthias ran a hand down his face, the stubble scratchi

  • Fated To The Man Who Raised My Ex   CHAPTER 088

    Killian was pissed, but that didn’t matter, because so was Ronan. In the space of less than three days, he’d discovered more things about his family than he’d thought was possible. Not only, did it seem like he had a third sibling now, it would also appear that everything he knew about his mother was false. Killian hadn’t spoken to him since the incident, which was fine, because Ronan hadn’t been expecting correspondence from the man for a long while. They’d just have to put a pause on all their plans in the meantime. That was fine, Ronan could live with that. He didn’t even really need Killian to be able to fulfill his plan in the first place. As long as he had Selene, and support from Thalia, he was sure he could rally enough forces to back up his plan when the time came. All that was left to do, was get rid of the competition. The thought brought with it, a shiver of fear and something that was a awful lot like regret as he gazed up at Silas, walking ahead of him, shoulder

    Matthias jerked back from Raine, his face red, when they had heard the creak of the door. His heart leapt into his throat, and Raine froze. Then, they heard Lyra’s voice drifting in from the hallway. “Yeah, I just want to check up on Ronan’s mate, I’ll be down to the clinic later.” Lyra said. “Just let me grab the chart first.”Raine held her breath, her heart racing, she hoped Lyra wouldn't come in because she'd be able to tell something had happened between them. Matthias glanced at her nervously, he looked like he’d wanted to say something but eventually didn't. The door clicked shut as Lyra walked away, down the hall. Both of them exhaled loudly, the relief almost making Raine laugh. “That was close,” she muttered, finally meeting Matthias’s eyes.“Too close,” he agreed. “I’m locking the door.” He said as he stood.“What?” Raine whispered, watching him. He locked it, and turned back to her. His expression was serious, but there was something soft in his gaze that made Raine’s h

    MATTHIAS POV: Raine had been back in the pack now for almost a week, yet Matthias couldn’t bring himself to go see her. He was a coward yes, and running from his problems would truly get him nowhere, but anytime he got close enough to the room where stayed now, he couldn’t bring himself to push open the door and walk in. He just couldn’t bear to look at her, and see the extent of damage done to her by her captives. He’d gathered enough from Lyra to know just how bad her injuries had been—from wolfsbane poisoning to broken bones and multiple unidentified scars scattered across her body. Lyra had claimed she had no clue who had done the damage, and Ronan was refusing to look at him, much less even speak to him, so there was no way of knowing the truth from either of them. The first and last time he saw her was on a random afternoon. He was walking past the corridor and realized the door to the room was wide open. She’d been on the bed, curled on her side, the blanket draped up to

    RAINE POV: The last thing she remembered before going under was the heat of Ronan’s chest against her skin, Matthias’s frantic gaze as he shook her with so much fear and panic, and the silent fury in Killian’s gaze when she met his gaze as Ronan carried her past him. It’d been terrifying and cold, Raine had never felt that much fear around that alpha until then. She woke up now, surrounded by various familiar scents. After two weeks away from home, it was enough to push her to tears. The bed beneath her was familiar, because it was hers and Ronan’s, the sounds of the pack outside the pack house walls was achingly familiar as well, and all the scents mingling about, faint now because her abilities were still nonexistent, soothed an ache in her chest that’d been festering for weeks. She shut her eyes tight against the sensations and just let herself feel. When she woke again, it was to find a familiar figure hovering in the room, dressed in all black, Raine at first confused the fig

    MATTHIAS POV: Killian and Hansel left after about an hour. Since there was nothing they could with the wards according to Hansel, if all three of Matthias’s blood lines were absent. And since no one could even remotely pin point where the last sibling could even be, they had to work with the temporary one Hansel set up. It was hardly more than a cheap piece of plastic, but it was the best they could get for now. Everything in Matthias longed to go find Raine and be with her right at that moment, but he needed to keep his head in the game. He just found out that he had a child somewhere out there, whom he’d apparently spawned without his knowledge. There were bigger on ground now than his illicit affair with his son’s mate. He and both his sons walked the rest of the way to the packhouse in silence. Matthias couldn’t recall the last time he’d been alone with his without them going at each other’s throats. He watched them both as they walked ahead of him, close enough that their s

    RONAN POV: Thalia helped him up, dragging him by his arm like he was nothing but a lifeless rag doll. If Ronan were in the right state of mind, he’d have been insulted with the ease she used to pick him up. It was a bruise to his ego to say the least. But right now, he had bigger things to worry about than whether or not he was stronger than a woman. Panting as he fought to catch his breath, Ronan met Killian’s gaze from across the open space, watching the other alpha pull himself upright from where Thalia had tossed him against a tree. It’d been hard enough to leave a dent in the bark. Killian did not look so pleased about it. A fission of fear went down Ronan’s back as he watched Killian pull off his gloves one by one, they’d been torn apart by his claws earlier and were nothing but strips of leather at this point. But still, the sight of Killian’s pale hands was so much of a shock, Ronan could do nothing but stare. Thalia moved to stand in front of him, blocking him from Kill
