The red packet didn’t even have a name, address or even a postal stamp on it, which further intensified her curiosity. It shouldn’t have but it did, she crouched down and picked it up, tearing it open, and Reyna peeked inside the envelope. There was a written note taped inside it, as well as something shimmering inside it. Like a long silver chain.
Reyna tilted the red envelope, allowing the small silvery object to fall into her hand. As soon as the silver jewellery touched her hand, Reyna’s stomach bottomed out, as if someone has scooped it and plunged it out of her body. Her eyes widened as the shock hit her first, she couldn’t believe her eyes and then a sudden wave of anger washed over her body, red, hot and furious. F*cking Glenn Mcbride.
She gritted her teeth so hard that Reyna was surprised that they didn’t turn to fine dust, her fingers clenching around the piece of jewellery, Reyna was pretty tempted to wrap the chain of this neck
Reyna could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She never thought that her feelings were so transparent for others to see, in fact, she always thought that she was like a closed book, one never to be opened by anyone. But it wasn’t embarrassment that overwhelmed her senses, no it was the distinct realisation that she was in love with Cain f*cking Covington that knocked the wind out of her body. Never did she think that she will fall in love with a guy nor did she think that she will be rejected before she could even confess, it was said that eavesdropping wasn’t a good thing, not because the eavesdropper hears things that they shouldn’t but also things that they don’t like. And in her case the saying proved right, it wasn’t as if she didn’t know how things were between her and Cain, and also knew that there was no way something was going to happen between the two of them. And she never once thought that Cain had any other feeling except sy
Her ribs cracked from the impact with an agonising crack, as the coyote lunged at her again and again, cornering the wolf against a tree. Ears flat, the wolf let out a throaty rumble before the wolf snapped her teeth at the coyote’s neck and bit down. The coyote shook his head trying to dislodge her off his throat, when he saw that he couldn’t get the wolf off him, he twisted and rolled on the ground taking her along with him. And then the two furry bodies rolled down the clearing before coming to a stop. The wold stood up on her feet but her legs were weak from the drugs, that was why they were quivering so hard that they almost buckled under her. Agony seared in her nerves as black and white dots started to obscure her vision, the wolf was so tired—so woozy that all she wanted was to close her eyes and sleep. But instead, she focused her gaze on the coyote before retreating and then pouncing so fast that she crashed right against the coyote. The
Seriously, just how high can someone be that they went ahead and tried to harm someone who was under a dire wolf’s protection? It wasn’t an unknown fact that a dire wolf can kill just anyone while f*cking their shit up like a mafia boss, and that was under the scenario that he wasn’t even provoked. But this situation right here was different, Reyna wasn’t just a member of their pack but also his mate in the eyes of the dire wolf, he wouldn’t let the culprit behind this stay alive and wouldn’t be content without feasting on the blood of this man who was writhing underneath his paws. The Dire wolf wouldn’t stop until he finished what he started and Diskant had no qualms about the man being killed though it was a bit disturbing to watch the dire wolf kill its prey slowly and painfully—— but right now he needed answers.“ I know you can hear me, Cain,” said Diskant as he called to the dire wolf, hoping that Cain wo
“ Hey, Wolfie.” No matter how angry Reyna was at Cain, she would never take it out on his wolf. His wolf was not in charge of what his human counterpart does or say, so in her consideration, it was a bit childish and petty, if she ignored his wolf, all because his human rejected her and what was more with Cain’s wolf literally lying on top of her abdomen, Reyna was certain that she couldn’t ignore him even if she wanted to, skimming her hand on his fur, she smiled. “ Did you save me yesterday?”The wolf raised his head and whined at her most likely a bit upset that she was questioning his gallant act. Reyna chuckled compared to Cain, she liked his wolf better, still at a sluggish pace because of the drugs she scratched him right behind his ears. “ Hey, don’t be upset. I know you were the one who saved me.” A snort that sounded like ‘duh’ escaped from the mouth of the wolf, as he raised his head and rubbed his c
Reyna tried to struggle against Cain’s hold she was upset and angry but there was nothing she could do to get away from him. The more she tried to get out of his hold, the tighter he held on to her, she moved once and twice but then she slowly stopped fighting against him, there was no point in this. She heaved a heavy sigh as she stopped her struggle. “ Let go of me, Cain.”“No,” said Cain as he tried to stop Reyna from moving away from him. He knew he was a bastard for saying those things but she was being a lot more stubborn. If only she could give him five minutes he would let her know how sorry he was and that he didn’t want to hurt her, it was just him and the stupidity that egged him to say those heartless words. He hugged her from behind and slowly whispered, “ If I let you go, you will try to leave me.”Reyna would have been flattered if she heard those words before but now that she knew that she was nothing but
Cain sighed as he shook his head, pulling away from her. “The reason I told you about my mum is so that you will understand what you are getting yourself into,” his tone turned grave as his gaze bore into her. “ If you want to take this relationship further, I won’t let you go. Or more like I wouldn’t be able to let you go, Dire wolves are crazily protective of their mates, their territory, every freaking thing that they set their eyes on—— in case you if you start having second thoughts or your true mate come along, I won’t step aside, if you try to leave me for him, I will kill him. My wolf won’t see that your true mate has more right over you than him, he will not see that ——hell, I will not see that, I will kill him for touching you, if you want this then say yes now and you will be forever stuck with me. There will be no tapping out Rey.” His fierce possessiveness burned her, in a way it shouldn’t have but it did. Maybe she should go and get herself checked out and see what was w
Reyna took a sip of her coffee then she looked at Cain who was tapping on his phone while drinking his latte. “ So who were those guys? The one who came after me” Now that the dizziness from the drugs was slowly leaving her body she could finally think straight and ask the one question that she seemed to have forgotten about. “ He was hired to kidnap you.”Cain told her about Dean, Jared and everything about the good old lone wolves agency. “ he hires lone wolves to do things for him, of course doing shit like this is better than becoming hired guns for others but the dangers aren’t low either. It's just that the money is high and that's enough for them to forget their fear”He took another sip of his coffee and continued. “ Diskant ordered everyone to do a search on Dean Sanchez and now they plan on making a trip to his office to find out who was the one who gave him the task to have you kidnapped, however, I am assured that it must have been Glenn.”“ Ah, of course. That guy can ne
Cain disappeared down the hallway and yeah, Reyna watched him walk away, her heated gaze following his show-stopping ass. Well, there was no harm in looking at him, was there?She just placed the two empty mugs in the dishwasher when Kerry came bustling into the house, she could hear her jabbering and scoldings as she clipped clopped down the hall and then Kerry strode inside the kitchen, filling the entire space with the smell of brisket and gravy, as well as with her cotton candy scent. “Ah, there you are. Diskant told me that you were awake, so I thought that you might be hungry. Cain told me that you were still feeling woozy but I told him that he was being too fussy, you aren’t that weak, you will be fine with some food and fresh juice.” Then she raised her hand and cupped Reyna’s cheek. “ You are fine, aren’t you?”Reyna smiled as she nodded. “ I am totally alright, it’s just Cain who is being fussy.”“That’s good to hear,” said Kerry as she placed the tray she was carrying in
