Rayvin needed to take Luna Bella’s advice and call the boutique she had given Rayvin the number to. According to Bella, it was a lifesaver when it came to everything style related. But Rayvin had been putting it off, prioritising other things. That is why she now faced her wardrobe and realised she only had the dress she wore to the funeral and two tank tops that were white. Being a wolf, you avoided white as it was so strongly associated with being a Luna. Mikael walked into the closet while trying to get his cufflinks on.“Ray, can you help me?” he asked without looking up.“Sure,” she told him and took over the task. She didn’t need to see his face to know he was now looking at her. She could feel his eyes moving over her body, which was only dressed in undergarments. “You know I love this look on you, sweetie. But I don’t think I can let you wear it to the trial,” he told her as he placed the hand she wasn’t working on, on her hip.“I know, I just realised how unprepared I am as
Rayvin was sitting in her office in the house. She loved it and had taken inspiration from it when designing her office in the pack house. It was both sweet and a little disconcerting how well Mikael had guessed her taste when building the house, even after being separated for years. She didn’t know if it was due to him knowing her so well, or if she just had simple tastes that hadn’t changed since she was a teenager. Mikael was having a meeting with the managers of the gyms to decide who should take over the gym that Thomas had managed. Rayvin was looking through her files on Frank, again. They had a good lead in the anise case, but she had no idea how Frank was connected to it all, or where he was. After figuring out the code, Rayvin had asked her friend that had gone through his computer to do it again, to see if there were any signs of the code or something about anise. ‘Luna, there is a moving van at the gate. The driver has identified himself as Remus Shadowpaw and his passenge
As Diana and Rayvin handed out the coffee, Susan looked at Diana. “I don’t get how you can run a pack without a full top tier,” Susan said. Five wolves stopped and looked at her. “Susan,” Remus sighed. “We have a full top tier,” Rayvin said. “Not really. Your Gamma is mated to your Beta, you are missing two members,” Susan insisted.“Susan!” Remus voice was sharp and no one could miss the underlying command for her to stay quiet.“I don’t know how other packs do it, but our top members are strong and good at what they do. We are more than capable of handling our pack business,” Mikael told her. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone,” Susan said. Rayvin frowned and tried to figure out what was going on. ‘I need to talk to Remus on my own, can you distract Susan?’ she mind linked Mikael, Diana and Ben. ‘Why?’ Mikael asked.‘Something’s up with Susan and since I can’t mind link Remus to ask what it is, I need some privacy,’ Rayvin explained. They all agreed to help her. “Remus, M
Mikael had called an emergency meeting of the Alpha Council. Rayvin was sitting next to him in his office, waiting for the meeting to start. “I thought the time for emergency meetings was over,” Mikael sighed. “I’m sorry this all landed in you lap,” Rayvin said, taking his hand. He smiled at her and placed a kiss on the back of her hand as he intertwined their fingers.“It’s not all bad. I got you back, so I won’t complain too much. But I wished it had been during calmer times. I feel like we don’t get enough time together.”“That’s sweet. But I think we will be okay. Gray and Bee met during similar times. They seem to be doing just fine. And they didn’t even know each other. We will have times of peace and quiet as well. You might even think back and wish for a not so quiet life,” she told him.“I have a feeling as long as I have you in my life, I will never be bored,” he said. “I will do my best to live up to your expectations,” she promised and turned towards the screen as she h
“Really? A human mate?” Mikael asked for the third time. He saw Rayvin laugh and nod. “Yes, a human mate, a sheriff,” she told him again.“The moon goddess must have gone temporarily insane,” he muttered. “And why are we keeping this a secret?” “Because she wants to tell her family, but she is feeling a little insecure. We are giving her time to feel secure in the mating, to let her see that her human will be just as interested in her as she is in him,” Rayvin patiently explained. They were in Mikael’s office in the house and Rayvin had just told him about her conversation with Milly. Mikael still had a hard time believing it. “So how did it go with Remus?” she asked as she was leaning against his desk while he was sitting in his chair. “Good. He has the potential to become a great Alpha,” Graham said. He had to reluctantly admit that he liked the man. Remus was nothing like his father, but that wasn’t necessarily bad, just different. “I know. I just wish both he and his father co
Rayvin was putting on the black cargo pants and the black long-sleeved t-shirt she always used on her missions. Her ability to turn invisible meant she could have worked in bright red colours if she wanted. But it put her in the right frame of mind and sometimes it was good not to rely on your powers. She was lacing up her boots as Mikael walked into the closet. He was already dressed in similar clothes and walked up to her and placed a hand on her back. Rayvin could feel his worry and knew it was because he didn’t want her to come on the mission. He hadn’t said anything because he knew she needed to be there. But his Alpha instinct was always to protect his Luna, even if it didn’t make logical sense. “Do you want to say it at least once?” she asked as she stood up and faced him. He gave her a weak smile.“I really wish you would stay home,” he said.“I know, but I won’t,” she replied.“I know,” he told her and gave her a light kiss.“Is it okay?” she asked.“It is, I know you can do
“Do you think I should have gone with Remus in the third car?” Diana asked, as they were on their way home. “No,” Rayvin said. “Okay, something is up with you. Both of you. You have been strangely insistent that I don’t get involved in this operation. What’s up?” Diana asked Rayvin and Mikael. “Don’t know what you’re talking about,” Mikael said.“You’re sounding a bit paranoid, Diana,” Rayvin told her. “Right,” Diana said, eyeing Mikael and Rayvin. ‘How long do we have to pretend we don’t know?” Mikael mind linked Rayvin.‘Until she tells us,’ Rayvin insisted. Diana kept giving them irritated looks throughout the drive home. They got regular updates over phone. The third car had successfully handed over to Laika and was hanging back. They were heading away from the city. Ben waited for them outside the pack house and drew Diana in for a kiss as she stepped out of the car. Rayvin smiled at them. Mikael was talking to Ben about how it had gone as they all walked up to Mikael’s offi
The news regarding the Beta pup spread like a wildfire in the pack. Diana and Ben had gone over to his parents to tell them in person and they called her parents and Milly. Diana was radiating and Ben seemed to keep physical contact with her at all times and glared when people came too close. Rayvin found the whole thing very sweet. The teams watching the cabin reported the humans were still holding up in there. They hadn’t left it during the day they had been there. Rayvin had talked to Remus about how to get at least one of their warriors close enough to the cabin to let them hear what was happening. They decided that if the human stayed another night, Laika would try to sneak closer. There was a part of the cabin where there weren’t any windows. If Laika could get close enough to the cabin without being detected, she could take up posts along that part. Rayvin and Mikael were having dinner with the pack as they were waiting to hear back from the teams in the field. Nikolaus came
