RAI

Several Years Ago,

I stared at the red roses in my hand, a nervous smile spreading over my face. It was today--the day I would finally ask her out. And by her, I meant Raelynn Hills--the origin of the fluttering in my stomach at the moment.

Tonight was the school's official dance night. Thankfully, Raelynn had showed up. An hour had passed since the event had kicked off but I was yet to get my act together.

"Get it together, Rai. It's not your first time asking a girl out," I groaned.

However, this girl was different because as cheesy as it sounded, I'd had a crush on her for a while. And that crush had bloomed into something stronger, something I couldn't shake off.

"What's up, big brother?"

I flinched at the sound of my sister's voice, immediately hiding the flowers behind me.

Izzy wriggled her brows at me, amusement written over her face. I could tell she was enjoying this.

"Are those flowers for her? Nice choice. You should hurry up and confess your l

    RAELYNN It was unnerving how Kyan had entered my house so easily. There was no sign of a forced entry. And while he stood by the door, he didn't move an inch. Folding his arms across his chest, his gaze drifted from me to Rai. "Ah...look at that. Such a lovely couple. I almost feel jealous," he said and Rai stiffened, hostility rolling off him in waves. "Cut the crap, Kyan. Why are you here?" He spat. "For a simple reason," he deadpanned and my frown deepened. "What?"He cracked a smile at me, his claws making an appearance. "I'm supposed to get rid of the traitor," he said, pointing a claw at Rai, his eyes turning a bright yellow. My stomach churned in discomfort at the realization that I'd been right all along. Kyan was indeed somehow affiliated with Nadia. Rai scoffed. "Traitor? Really? You're really going to let Nadia use you as her errand boy?" He commented. The smile on Kyan's face faded, a crease forming in between his brows. As much as I would like to confront K

    RAELYNN "I want to claim you, Rai," I whisperered. "Can I?""Right here?" He rasped, his eyes darkening with lust. I smirked, leaning up to kiss him on the lips. Cupping the back of his head, I deepened our kiss and scratched his scalp gently. A moan escaped his lips and he tightened his grip on my waist. Pulling away from him, I buried my face in the crook of his neck and pressed a kiss there. Letting out a guttural growl, he grabbed my free hand and brought it to his crotch. "Look what you do to me, woman.” He groaned. Knowing that I had that much effect on him made me feel powerful. I could feel my wolf pushing to the surface, my fangs making an appearance. Rai let out a deeper groan when I ran my fangs over his skin and swiped my tongue over the spot. "Do you smell something burning?" Rai suddenly commented and I frowned, pulling away to sniff at the air. And sure enough, the food was burning.Alarmed, Rai turned off the cooker and grimaced at me."This is all your

    RAELYNN "Mum... w-what's going on? Am I...dead?" I croaked, terror gripping me. "You're not dead, silly. You're just detached from your physical form," she responded and I sighed. "Rai doesn't know that. He looks terrified," I pointed out, feeling sorry for Rai who held on to my limp form in horror. "He'll figure it out," my mum said. "This strange blue light has a lot to do with my magic, doesn't it?" I asked her and she nodded."It's why I asked you to accept it. Become one with it. That way, it can't be stolen from you," she said and my eyes went wide. "Stolen? What do you mean?""There is a reason why you're destined to be Rai's partner. He's meant to complete you," she said.I blinked as she placed her hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes. "Listen to me clearly, you must not let go..." Her voice faded and she also faded out of sight. Struck with urgency, I called out for her but got no response. Instead, I was sucked back into my body. I opened my eyes slowl

    RAI Every single fibre of my being wrestled for control over the spell that had kept my mind captive. It killed me to watch Raelynn's beautiful eyes fill up with tears and terror. The more I tried to fight the spell, the more it's grip on me tightened. Suddenly, Raelynn stopped struggling. Then she reached out to touch my face, her teary eyed gaze meeting mine. "It's okay. I won't hold this against you," she choked out and I pulled away from her, stumbling across the kitchen to slam a hand on the wall. I could hear Raelynn coughing behind me, struggling to catch her breath. My chest tightened, angry tears pricking my eyes. 'Kill her!' An angry screech invaded my senses, sending a jolt of pain through my skull. 'Damn you,' I thought, doubling over as the pain worsened."Rai?" Raelynn said as she approached me. I shook my head frantically, mentally pleading for her to maintain a good distance from me. When she continued to approach, I knew I needed to leave. However, before

    RAELYNN When Rai showed up in the dining room with a worried look on his face, I knew that something was up. At this point, it felt like a never-ending saga. He sat down on a chair and the kids greeted him with cheery voices. He beamed at them, his gaze softening. He was such a natural when it boiled down to interacting with our kids. Moving over to his side, I placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned closer to him. "Did something happen?" I asked and he flashed me a tight smile. My heart sank. Whatever had happened seemed to be far worse than I'd imagined. "I got a call from Jared--" he was interrupted by the sound of my ringing phone and I glanced at it, puzzled."It's probably a call from the medical centre," he told me and I grabbed my phone from the table. Rai was right. It was a call from Rose. Swiftly picking up the call, I lifted the phone to my ear. I could hear the wailing of sirens through the phone."Doctor Lynn, it's me, Rose," my assistant said, her voice qu

    RAELYNN "Come on, let's go. Can you run?" He asked softly. Steeling my resolve, I nodded once. Together, we both hurried away from the building. There was a black SUV waiting by the corner. When we got to it, Hunter opened the door of the car and I sat down on the passenger seat. He joined me shortly after, settling down on the driver's seat. A lump formed in my throat as he manoeuvred the car out of the parking space, my gaze resting on Rai who had suddenly run into the side walk, his chest heaving. Looking away from him, I folded my arms across my chest and leaned back on my seat. "Hold on, okay? I'll get you out of here soon enough," Hunter said and I released an exasperated sigh. For a few seconds, a thought crossed my mind. Was I really doing the right thing? It wasn't okay to just walk away from the chaos but I couldn't help it, I valued my own peace of mind. "Are you alright?" Hunter asked when we were a good distance away from the paparazzi. "I'm fine," I muttered,

    RAI Five Years Ago, I stormed into my bedroom and paused in the centre of the room, freezing as a familiar scent wafted into my nostrils. Raelynn's scent. It was all over the place. It reminded me of the brutal decision I'd made a couple of hours ago. I closed my eyes, and all I could see was her tear-filled eyes. I rubbed at my chest, willing the ache to fade away. The door creaked open and Nadia sashayed in, butt naked. There was a glass of wine in her hand. She swayed her hips from side to side and joined me on the bed, gulping down her wine at once. I sat up slowly, my body feeling heavy. "You did the right thing, you know? I'm so proud of you for not letting her walk over you," she said, bringing her lips to mine. I closed my eyes and was once again, reminded that she didn't taste like Raelynn."I want you," she whispered in between kisses, fumbling with the buttons of my shirt. I was drunk, but it wasn't enough to drown out the guilt that was raging inside of

    RAELYNN Power pulsed inside of me, clouding my senses. I had never felt my wolf so strongly. It was exhilarating. Knowing that Rose had approached me on purpose and had lingered around me right up until this moment made me pissed. I concluded that she was involved in something shady. Since I didn't know exactly what her deal was, I was even more pissed. "Go straight to the point, Rose. No, wait. Is Rose even your real name?" I hissed and she grimaced."I never lied to you about my name," she said and I hissed at her, annoyed."How am I supposed to believe that?" I demanded. Rai grabbed my hand, entwining my fingers with his. When I looked up to meet his perturbed gaze, my frown faded. "I'll tell you everything but we can't talk right here. Your enemies might be listening in on us right now," Rose said and I sighed, bringing my free hand to my temple."Let's go in," Rai suggested and I glanced at him, instantly recalling that he was supposed to meet up with Nadia. "I can

    RAELYNN I stared at Rai's immobile form, clenching my jaw. His right and left arm were wrapped in bandage and his face was as pale as sheets. Jared heaved a sigh, his gaze resting on Rai. "Do you really think he did that to himself?" He asked and I clenched my jaw, willing the tears to go away. My eyes were sore from all the crying I'd done earlier. "What do you think? Clearly, he did it to himself," I replied and he muttered a string of curses."I should have stopped him. I knew he was struggling. I just didn't think it was this bad," Jared stated and I shook my head."I didn't see this coming either. I thought I'd convinced him not to hurt himself. I was stupid," I said, running my fingers through my hair."What do we do now? It's been nearly six hours. He's yet to regain consciousness," Jared's brows were knitted into a frown as he spoke. The words had barely left his lips when Rai let out a groan, a frown settling in between his brows. I rushed to his side, bringing a hand

    RAELYNN "Go ahead and reject me," he droned and I halted, my heart racing in my chest. A lump formed in my throat as I struggled to maintain my composure. Slowly, I turned around and dragged in a sharp breath. "Is that really what you want?" I asked and he clenched his jaw, his eyes going blank. "Do it."We stared at each other, our gazes unwavering. The tension in the air had tripled. Despite my attempts to appear cold and unforgiving, I was hurting inside. For the life of me, I knew I couldn't bring myself to reject him. No matter how hard he pushed me, I knew I couldn't give up on him. "You can't do it?" He said and I clenched my fists, annoyed. The mockery in his tone was unmissable. "I'll get you the help you need," I said and turned away from him. "Why?" He asked, following after me as I left the room. My feet came to a halt, angry tears filling my eyes. I could still smell the fresh blood leaving his body. I hated the fact that he was letting himself bleed like th

    RAELYNN I was returning from the grocery store when I noticed the car parked right in front of my house. Frowning, I fished for the pepper spray in my coat. The moment my fingers curled around the container, the door of the car was pushed open and Hunter stepped out. He held up his hands and flashed me a smile."How do you know where I live?" I asked and he beamed at me."I did a little research," he replied and I scoffed at him."What are you doing here? I thought I made it clear that I'm not interested in you" I said and he winced."Although I'm hurt about that, I perfectly understand why. I'm just here to check up on you," he said and I rolled my eyes in annoyance."Now's not a good time, Hunter. Besides, I don't see why you should be concerned about me," I said, attempting to walk past him. "You look tired, Dr. Lynn. Your dark circles are massive and you've lost weight. You haven't been sleeping much, have you?" He pointed out and my feet came to a halt.I hated that he

    RAI The weight of the spell threatened to crush my sanity, bringing along with it, a maddening depression. Three days had passed since Raelynn discovered the cuts on my arm, she was constantly on edge. Every few minutes, she would check up on me to make sure I wasn't harming myself. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I ran my fingers through my hair. It was in dire need of a haircut but I couldn't bring myself to go out in public. "Rai? Are you alright? You've been in there for almost an hour," I heard Raelynn say as she knocked on the door of the bathroom. "I'll be out soon," I replied as I eyed the sharp edge of the mirror. Raelynn had hidden all of the blades and at this point, I was tempted to break the mirror. The memory of the pain I'd inflicted on myself was rather vivid in my mind. I deserved this pain. All along, I'd prided myself to be untouchable. But, there was a glaring truth I'd refused to see all along. I was weak. I was stupid. It had taken years for Nadi

    RAELYNN "Judy? Is everything okay?" I said, and she sniffled. I exchanged bewildered glances with Rai, who looked visibly worried, a crease forming in between his brows."Did something happen?" I asked, my insides twisting into a painful knot. I could feel my pounding heart in my chest. It made me hyperaware of the situation."Judy, please talk to me," I said, and she broke down into a sob. My eyes widened, and my breathing quickened. Fear sank into me, and I shot to my feet."What is it?" I asked cautiously."Everything is okay now. It scared the life out of me. I thought...Rae... I thought...""Breathe, Judy. You're rambling. Please tell me what's going on," I pleaded, my voice quivering.Rai had risen to his feet. He was standing by my side with one hand on my shoulder, silently assuring me that he was right there by my side."I had a bad dream. In the dream, someone kidnapped the twins," she said, and I stiffened, nausea sweeping through me.I didn't like where she was goi

    RAELYNN My phone buzzed from its position on the nightstand and I reached out to pick it up. I'd just received from Hunter whom I'd coincidentally run into, a couple of hours before. The text said:'Have you resolved your issues with Rai?'I groaned in annoyance, squeezing my eyes shut. I didn't have to tell him about my fall out with Rai, he'd been able to tell at a glance. And, I hated that. Although I'd refused to tell him what had really happened, he'd concluded that I'd had a big fight with Rai. I stared at the text for a while, contemplating my next line of action. Right before I could actually get down to typing a reply, I heard Rai call out for me. I closed my eyes, releasing a sigh. I couldn't tell if it was merely the effect of our bond, I itched to go to him. I was still upset. I still couldn't wrap my head around the actual reason behind the divorce. Rai had hurt me deeply. Even so, he was a changed person now. He was clearly tormented by his own guilt. Decidin

    RAI A few Years Ago, "Marry me," I said to Nadia and she blinked at me, her face devoid of emotions. Then she burst into laughter."Really?" She asked, tracing irregular shapes across my chest. I watched her carefully, wondering what she thought of my proposal. It was clear at this point, I couldn't live without her. I needed to make her my Luna."We both love each other. Besides, my father wants me to take over his position. I need a Luna," I told her and she arched a brow."Are you certain that you really want me to be your wife?" She asked. I brought a hand to the side of her face and she leaned into my touch. "Don't you know how I feel?" I asked and she heaved a sigh, pulling away from me."I don't feel complete yet," she stated and I frowned, confused."What do you mean?""There's someone who stole something from me. I want you to mess with her for me. It's the only way I can live with you happily," she replied, her gaze meeting mine."Nadia...""I know it soun

    RAELYNN ".... Rae? Wake up."With a gasp, I jolted awake at the sound of Rai's gentle voice. He blinked at me, fixing a questioning stare at me. Disoriented, I looked around. I was back in bed with him and there was no sign of Nadia anywhere. "Were you having a nightmare?" Rai asking, cocking a brow. "A nightmare? When did I get back here? I went downstairs and...""Do you not remember what happened? We went to bed and fell asleep. I think you woke up in the middle of the night to attend to my fever. Then you slept off again," he told me. My eyes widened."I did? I was so sure it was real..."He brushed my hair away from my face, and brought the back of his hand to my forehead. "You don't have a fever. What did you see?" He asked."Nadia. She was standing by the window. She kept laughing at me. She stank so bad...""It was just a nightmare. Don't let it get to you," he said, getting out of bed."Where are you going?" I asked and he paused to glance at me."Did you forget?

    RAELYNN "What the hell?" Rai breathed, his eyes widening. I forced out a smile, desperately trying not to flip out. Today was supposed to be one of the happiest day of my life. "Calm down. Let's relax and figure out what's really going on..."My voice trailed off when he suddenly winced, squeezing his eyes shut as he brought a hand to his forehead. Worried, I placed a hand on his shoulder to assure him that I was right by his side. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to their usual colour. A sigh of relief escaped my lips and I embraced him, resting my head on his chest. I could feel the wild racing of his chest. It made me feel nervous. "Did you...hear that?" He suddenly said, and I stiffened, looking up at him with wide eyes. "No, I didn't hear anything. What did you hear?" I asked and he frowned."Someone called my name," he stated and I shook my head."Ignore it. You should get some rest. You really look pale," I told him. He didn't resist me when I to
