Rina observed the woman, she looked timid and shifty. And the bruises on her face caught Rina's attention.
Werewolves were supposed to have fast healing. For her bruises not to be healed, what had happened to her?"Are you okay? What happened to your face?" Rina asked."I fell and hit my face on the door" she answered quickly. Rina could sense that she was lying."So why didn't you just shift to wolf form and heal faster?" Rina asked.Doris shifted awkwardly, "I prefer it this way Luna"She made to leave but Rina held her back."Are you mated?""Yes, I am.""Who is he?""His name is Lucky." she answered."Well like I said in the meeting, my door is always open if you need anything." Rina smiled warmly."of course, thank you Luna" she replied and escaped.Later when Rina walked back to the pack house with Luna Rosa, she asked her about Doris."Oh, she is a qui"Where is our lunch?" Damien asked changing the subject.Rain brought out the cake Rina had packed for them."This is too much for just the two of us" Damien noted."Yes, she just gave us this huge slice of cake because she was angry at Rafaele" Rain joked."We should share with the others" Damien suggested."Do you think they will take it?" Rain was skeptical."Everybody loves cake Rain""Okay, you can give them" Rain agreed.Damien looked amused, "I am not the one giving it to them, you are" he concluded."I can't do that, I don't want to be the one giving it to them" Rain refused."Rain, I think giving it to them would make them like you more""I don't want them to like me" Rain said."You don't mean that, come on, give them the cake" Damien urged Rain."Fine, I will give it to them" Rain agreed reluctantly.Damien patted him on the back, "well done" he praised him.Rain stood up, ignoring how much the praise was making him blush."Everyone we have cake here, you can come have some
"I....i...I" Rina stuttered, she didn't know what to say.Once again she was reminded he wasn't hers. She was just a replacement.She stood up and pulled away from him. She quickly left the room without answering him.Rafaele stared in shock. Where was she going?He pulled on his trousers and followed her. She was in the kitchen, bringing out mixing pans and baking ingredients."What are you doing?" he asked."Baking" she answered."Riri, it's late... Besides, why are you baking? We were just talking in the room and you rushed out to bake....""and what's wrong with that, do I need to take permission to be in the kitchen?" she asked.Rafaele kept quiet."What! You don't have anything to say" she asked him.He took a deep breath and backed away. "I see you want to fight and I won't give you that satisfaction""Yes run away like the coward you are" she yelled after him as he left th

Damien and Rain followed Jax to the training ground.Damien looked cheerful while Rain just looked miserable. He didn't know why he had agreed to even come here.But as he looked at how Damien was, he knew exactly why he had agreed. Damn Damien and his perfect smile."everyone, we will be having two new trainees today." Jax announced.The trainees looked at Jax curiously."Hey everyone I am Damien, I will be joining you guys to train before I go back home. I hope you can all teach me and welcome me" he said, flashing a smile at them.The trainees erupted into cheers. Of course they knew Damien, he was the golden boy of the region afterall. Some of the girls were already batting their eyelashes at him."Rain will also be joining us too." Jax announced when he saw that Rain was making absolutely no effort to introduce himself.The trainees mumbled a welcome to Rain and went back to fussing over Damien.Ra
The breakfast table was full this morning. Everyone was present. Rina, Rafaele, Luna Rosa, Jax, Nani, Rain and Damien.Rina looked around the table, If anyone had told her some months ago that this would be her reality, she would have been shocked.She glanced at Nani who was chatting happily with Luna Rosa.The first time she met Nani, she had been filled with hostility towards her. Now she liked to think they were becoming friends.When Nani had joined her this morning to help prepare breakfast, Rina had been shocked.And as for Rain, she glanced at him fondly and nearly burst out laughing when she saw how nervously he was sitting beside Damien.Rain had gone from the moody teenager he had been when they first met to someone who had called her his sister.And as for Luna Rosa, their relationship blossomed everyday. And considering that her relationship with her mother was out of sorts at the moment, she really appreciated i
Rafaele looked at her puzzled, he looked at the flowers. Why was she crying? Or was she allergic to them?He had never given Lilacs before though. What if she was truly allergic to them? Oh no! What had he done."Riri, I am so sorry I didn't know you were allergic to the flowers" he told her.Before he could take them away, she snatched them from his hands and held it close to her face to inhale them."i am not allergic to the flowers." she said as she wiped away her tears."You are not? Then why are you crying?" Rafaele was confused."It's just that you are so good to me even though I don't treat you nicely" she said through her sobs."Oh it's okay Riri, I am used to you and your mood swings""But you shouldn't, that's not what being a mate is about."Rafaele smiled, he went closer to her and held her in his arms."Look at me." he said gently.Rina looked at him, "My Riri, I am sorry
Everywhere was in chaos, everyone wanted to see the golden boy.Rina knew everywhere would be disorganized soon."Everyone listen to me" She yelled, infusing the power of a Luna into her voice.Immediately the crowd quieted down to hear her talk."Damien has just woken up and the last thing he needs is noise or chaos. Please continue with the party, eating and thanking the goddess for helping him wake up. The sentries will be on ground to make sure everything remains peaceful. We will communicate any new developments to you." She told them.The pack members listened to her and sat down, and in a few minutes, everything was stable once again.Rina went up to check on Damien."Good job my darling" Luna Rosa complimented her. Rina smiled and said nothing."Go summon Evena, let him know the boy is awake" Rafaele told her.Rina nodded, she went to their bedroom and got out the little booklet. She tore out a
Two days later..Today was the day Rina was to swear in as Luna. She was so nervous she was shaking.She had spent the last two days with Luna Rosa learning more about her duties. Although it was overwhelming, she knew she could do it. So why was she nervous? Rina didn't know the answer to that.She was in the bedroom, waiting for the time for the ceremony to start.She and Rafaele were still not on talking terms. He didn't even want to be around her, he was constantly avoiding her.She missed him a lot, she wanted to apologize but she didn't even know what to say.The door opened, she looked up thinking it was Luna Rosa but it was Rafaele.Rina looked away thinking he was going to avoid her like before. But he couched in front of her, taking her nervous hands and rubbing them."Nervous?" he asked.She nodded."You don't have to be nervous, everything will be fine, you are going to be a wonder
Rina stumbled around in the dark, she didn't know the way back to the pack house. She hadn't paid attention when Rafaele had brought her here, all her focus had been in the pack house.She cursed herself for her lack of focus.And then she felt him. Rafaele stood in front of her, looking at him.She thought he would say something, insult her, fight or start an argument, he simply turned around."You can hold onto my shirt and I will lead you back home." he told her.She tentatively held on to his shirt and he led her back to the pack house.Once they got back home, he went straight to his study and she went to the room.She laid on the bed and was lost in her thoughts. Why couldn't she just turn off her thoughts and be with Rafaele. Why couldn't she let herself fall in love with him.Rina didn't have a peaceful sleep that night, she kept tossing and turning till the next morning. She woke up to prepare
