******“Argh” I groaned as I shifted in the comfort of this bed. I opened my eyes only for them to meet with a familiar green one. I tried to sit up but I just put my sore muscles in misery.“What happened?” Lucian said, worry on his toned face. This is not the time to admire your annoying soulmate, Raina. I looked away from him.“Don’t act like you care, please” My voice was low and weak. He held my hand and whispered.“I do care about you Raina. Much more than you can imagine” He explains.“Why didn't you stand up for me when I needed you,” I asked trying not to let my tears fall. Why does he switch up like this? This minute he wants to make effort next minute I'm some stranger in his pack he can't trust. “I’m sorry it seemed that way to you Raina”“You’re not sorry you didn't stand up for me instead you are sorry I think that way? What is wrong with you Lucian? Do you want me here?” I couldn't help but ask because it does not seem that way to me. I looked up at him. He sighed.“I
It's been exactly three days since I got back into the packhouse. To my surprise, the beautiful room I was admiring was actually Lucian’s room but I left the room that night. I stayed in my room and cried myself to sleep.The next morning when I woke up Henrietta walked In with a wooden tray of food. I smiled at her in appreciation. She also didn't talk but nodded at me.When I was done eating my breakfast she helped me clean up because it was hard to move. After I slept my body became weak because did not do anything. I staggered against Ri as she took me to the bathroom. She let the water run in the bathtub before helping me in. She poured the content of my body wash into the body scrub and helped me. We both went to the closet that still has the things I bought not unpacked yet. She picked out a long gown for me and helped me back to the bed. When it was the afternoon she came back with water and food. I drowned my throat with the whole jug because I was really thirsty. I munched
It's been exactly a week and I haven't still left my room. I already got better two days ago but the thoughts of leaving the room scared the hell out of me so Henrietta kept coming to see me and also keep me company. “I think I'm ready to leave the room,” I said to her as soon as I finished my lunch. She had a look of shock that she quickly masked with an assuring smile.“Are you sure?” I nodded.“Yes. I've been here all week”“Ok then. Let me take the dishes away and give you some time to prepare” I stopped her.“No. Wait. I want to make food before we leave”“What for?” She asked.“To apologize” I replied like it was very obvious what I wanted to do with the food.“Yeah sure. Let's leave now then. We should be done right in time for dinner” She Informed. I stood up and followed her to the kitchen.“What do you want to prepare?” She asked me leaning the dirty dishes in the sink. I placed my hand on my chin and tilted my head like I was thinking.“Ahemm_ chicken soup?” I asked unsure
CHAPTER FORTY ONEAfter the very awkward dinner, we said our farewells and left for the night. Ri and I talked for hours in my room. We talked about what I could do to Lucian.“I can make him food and poison it” I suggest. She laughed at my suggestion.“I hate how he's treating you but I don't want him dead,” She said.“As much as I hate to agree but same here. I do not want him dead” I agreed.“How about I make something he hates and see how he reacts to it” I suggested again.“Not really my idea of revenge but it will put him in a tough position so yes” She explained.“Is there anything he hates?” I asked.“Lucian hates cake” She announced.“What?” I said laughing. Rip laughed too.“Exactly my reaction whenever I remember. Who does not love cake!” She screamed.“Why will he not love cake. I love cake. Do you love cake?”“I love love cake” She replied.“I love to bake so I will make cupcakes sometime this week?” I asked.“Yes. I can help if you want” She offered.“When the time comes
CHAPTER FORTY TWOAfter my weird encounter with Lucy, I went back inside the house to eat. I ate late lunch before going to bed. Rip and I could not meet like we both promised to. She was busy all day but I didn't mind. I understood she had her own things to do so I just slept early to avoid me overthinking anything going on with me. I know I should not just trust Lucy but I believed her and I really don't know why. Maybe because the vampire mentioned something about it? Or the fact that my dreams that weren't manipulated showed me the same thing. I really don't know so in this situation I just have to believe Lucy is being honest. Like Ri said, Jack was here now so she won’t cause me any more troubles. She explained why she did the things she did which she obviously overreacted but I tried to see things from her perspective too. Can't wait to talk to Ri about everything happening.These were my last thoughts as sleep engulfed me in its embrace. I had a good night sleep.*********
CHAPTER FORTY THREEI wanted to go to my room but I didn't. Instead, I shifted into my light brown wolf and ran through the woods to clear my head. I didn't know what else was expected of me. I just want to be happy? Is it too much to ask for? I ran until my legs got tired, afraid I was going to lose the cloth I brought along with me I decided to shift back. I changed to the big t-shirt and walked around this part of the woods that I have never been to. I saw buildings on the other end and I immediately knew I was close to human territory. How did I get this far? I turned to walk away when I heard a girl scream in pain. Without thinking, I ran out of the woods to see who it was. I was suddenly in the midst of a small human village. All eyes were on me as I stood on the spot suddenly feeling stupid for not thinking. I heard the cry again as soon as I wanted to make my escape. Someone is hurting and I don't like it. I listened more carefully and I heard whimpers from a small old lookin
CHAPTER FORTY FOUR“Argh” I groaned as I shifted in the comfort of this bed. I opened my eyes only for them to meet with a familiar green one. I tried to sit up but I just put my sore muscles in misery.“What happened?” Lucian said, worry on his toned face. This is not the time to admire your annoying soulmate, Raina. I looked away from him. If he had not talked like that I wouldn't have needed to run and I would definitely not have met and killed the hunter, Sophia. If that is even her real name. “Don’t act like you care, please” My voice was low and weak. I wanted to care but I will not let him see how much his actions were affecting me. He held my hand and whispered.“I do care about you Raina. Much more than you can imagine” He explains.“Why didn't you stand up for me when I needed you,” I asked trying not to let my tears fall. Why does he switch up like this? This minute he wants to make effort next minute I'm some stranger in his pack he can't trust. He does not trust me, that
CHAPTER FORTY FIVEI slept as soon as Lucian left. I was so tired but Ri came in screaming not knowing I was still asleep.“I just spoke to Lucian!” I sat up with a frown.“Oh my gosh. Ri!” She smiled sheepishly.“Sorry” She apologised seating on the bed“Gosh. I need to sleep” I groaned laying back down on the bed, burning my head in my pillow. Ri pulled me back up.“Lucian just told me he was taking you out this night. You didn't tell me” She accused.“Because I was sleeping,” I said my face still in my pillow.“Get up. You need to get ready”“I needed to sleeppp” I complained. She stood up from the bed. I sighed repositioning myself so I could go back to bed. Before I knew what was happening my whole face was wet and my bed was drenched in water. I groaned standing up.“I’m up! Argh,” She laughed.“Sorry about the water but you have less then two hours to get ready” She announced. I glared at her so she stopped talking.“Sorry” She added quickly.“It’s fine. I'll just clean up firs
