Cain had to give it to his beta, the bastard could piss off a corpse and have him jump out of his grave to have a fistfight with him, stifling a glower he gritted out “ I sure as hell know what she is and what she isn’t, thanks for letting me know that though” Bringing his mother in this conversation or ever was a bottom line for him and not in a good way.
His mother was a literal example of victimizing herself, she will put herself on the high pedestal as if she was better than anyone else, try to bit off more than she could chew and when she failed - she would make herself, a victim. She was cantankerous, bitchy and a social butterfly who liked her kitty parties more than she liked her kids. He didn’t even remember her face now because she appeared in his life a lot less than a known passerby.
Anyway, his mother wasn’t a prime example of what he will call a decent mother, she would often complain about the injustice of the wo
“ I don’t understand why are you so wary of me” Her expression very sad Bree sighed heavily as if Reyna was an eight-year-old trying to rile her up. Oh, she was even better than an Oscar-winning actress, no wonder Sawyer was fooled by her tactics. Reyna just hoped that the other members of the pack were a little more smart than that little princess and knew what exactly Bree was trying to do here, the pretending skank put down her coffee mug as she continued “ I know that you and I have some issues, something that I will understand but there is no need for you to be this aggressive towards me. We are in one pack and that means that we got to have each other’s back”“ Look harridan here,” said Reyna flatly “ you might think that you are smart but you are not, I am aide remember? I can feel all your warped emotions slithering out of your skin. So, yeah, forgive me for not believing a thing that you are saying when you are a
“ What's going on?” Cain had been working in the office that what was he told Diskant but he was actually busy sulking in his office, needing the privacy that he required to fight off the haunted sight from last night but the more he tried to keep his mind blank the more he was reminded of how he lost control of his instincts and his wolf and hurt Reyna, the sight of her bloody arms kept flashing in front of his eyes and the gloom seem to settle more and more on his shoulders.He wasn’t a brooder but he couldn’t believe that he had let his emotions take control of him again, as if the memories of Sawyer being restrained by two old human boys, that wild, petrified and terrified look in her eyes .. of his mother’s obnoxious acts were not enough, now he had another memory that was going to haunt him.He just wanted to be left alone so that he can just mull his ‘oh not so happy memories’ and just die a little bit
Reyna stilled, the final string of her rationality snapped just as her heart dropped to one of the deepest pits in her stomach. It must have stopped beating too because she felt like she was dying. Moved? Moved where? Reyna for the first time feels a sort of helplessness that she had never felt before even worse than the one she felt when Glenn sent her dad to the frontline in the battle. At that time she knew that her mum would save her dad even if he was on the brink of death. She had a sense of surety because her parents were somewhere she knew she could get to them.But now, she didn’t even know where they were ..or how they were doing. Reyna tried to speak but her jaw was locked like it has been gelled together by something. She couldn’t speak a word and the suffocation in her chest became worse and worse, she wanted to vent, to ravage something or more like someone, so he won’t let her go huh? He wanted her so much right? Fine, then she would just take
Though the desire to burn the entire world and watch it burn quenched a little, Reyna still felt awkward this was the second time Cain was doing something for her without asking anything in return and well that made her all weird and bubbly, she wasn’t sure if she disliked these emotions but they threw her off from her track like a stupid surprise and Reyna didn’t like surprises, and she didn’t like someone trying to get in her life either, sure she was cool with solving each other itches once in a while like a one night stand but she didn’t like intimacy, like cuddling and whispering sweet promises. That made things complicated, Reyna didn’t like to complicate things. She was always the kind of person with the ‘ you stay in your lane and I stay in mine’ motto.But how was she supposed to keep to her lane if Cain make her feel things she didn’t want to feel?“ You can let go Cain” unbalanced by his sudden acti
“Ten packs? What do you mean by ten packs? How is that even possible?” asked Reyna looking at Mike in confusion, how was it possible for Glenn to send her parents to ten pack, all at once unless - her eyes widened but just as her mania that has somehow calmed down rose, Mike raised his hand “ wait, let me finish”He shuffled a map in his hands and then passed it to her “ Mcbride is surrounded by the packs that he has allied with like a protective shield. Why do you think he can do all those illegal deals without any trouble from the order? These packs are his bargaining chips, instead of doing all his dirty work by himself, he lets these packs pick up the mission he allocates to them four a reasonable price in exchange. He has the money and resources to burn anyways” Reyna took the map drawn on the paper and carefully studied it “ He knows that we might get a good idea of his pack with Reyna here and no matter how many changes h
By the time they pulled outside the Rio Bar, Reyna was beyond irritated. She had spent the entire ride sandwiched between Cain and Bree, one had spent the entire time not so discreetly ignoring her, oh there were heated glances and because they were sitting next to each other Cain would often reach out and hold her hand, or subtly touch her but that was it. The touches were platonically filled with nothing but worry about her, however, Reyna didn’t like it one bit especially when Bree realized that something was going on between the two, she had spent a good deal of her time chirping like an annoying canary trying to attract Cain’s attention, which he - fortunately, didn’t give her or else she would have stabbed him with a pitchfork at night.“ This place smells of trouble” Cain inhaled the scent of the various shifters and gunpowder circulating in the parking and frowned, “ I think you all better be a bit careful, I don’t want any of
Rodrigo should have fallen to his knees considering the vibes that were rolling off Cain’s body, they were nothing short of dark, clogging vapours that congested the surrounding air like a gossamer. But Reyna had to hand it to Rodrigo the latter not only stayed perfectly calm but he casually studied his nails like he was watching something boring. “ You can try, Covington but you won’t because then you will never have the chance to find those two wolves that Glenn is hiding” tipping his chin towards her, he smirked “ If I were you, I would suggest him to act so arrogantly. The ball is not in your mate’s court now, it's in my motherfucking court so you better tell him to shimmer that anger down in front of me, if you want to know where your parents are”Reyna narrowed her eyes down, she didn’t like the assumptive bastard in front of her. He seemed to be holding the knowledge of where her parents were like some l
“ Go on, I need more info than that, Rodrigo” prodded Cain as he shook Rodrigo while the latter shivered and hissed “ Can you at least put me down? It’s going to bring me bad publicity in my pack”“ No.”Rodrigo sighed in resignation as he rolled his eyes. “ Like you already know Glenn has formed alliances with packs with which no one wants to alright?”“ Yeah we do, what about it?” asked Reyna as she crossed her arms and looked at him.“ Well, then you will not be surprised after finding out that Glenn has also formed alliances with packs that are on the run.”A pack that was on the run could be on the run for only one reason and that was - The order was after them. Though the order might be nothing but a group of power-hungry old men they still wouldn’t hunt a pack without any rhyme or reason, which means that the Griffin pack dabbled in criminal or illegal activi
