Raina was more than a little drunk. My little spitfire was quite the lightweight but she seemed like she had fun and that’s all that mattered.

A light rain started as I helped her into the car. I expected her to pass out on the way home but she stayed wide awake, staring out the window. I should have monitored what she drank since she’d never had alcohol before and was without a wolf, but I didn’t want to ruin her night by trying to tell her what to do.

I didn’t act like Alpha when it came to Raina, nor did she make me feel like one.

She made me feel like I was any other person.

She has no idea how much I appreciated that. I took over when I was only fourteen and nowhere near ready. I forgot how it felt before then until I met her. She wasn’t intimidated by me nor did she care what title I carried. Most girls I came in contact with just wanted to be Luna, but she was different.

The rain came down harder the closer we got to home. I didn’t know what was up with all this rain but I

    After almost two hours of bending my body in ways it’s not supposed to, Raina had us all sit cross legged on the ground.“Last thing today, I promise,” she said, sitting down like the rest of us. “This is something I want each and every one of you to do daily. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the morning or night as long as you do it.“We’re going to meditate.”I don’t think any of us were expecting that.“Meditation helps tremendously in battle. It will help you stay focused and calm even while chaos is all around you. Keeping a clear head could be the difference between life and death.“If you stay calm while in the middle of a fight, you’re more likely to keep your moves precise and calculated. Letting your anger get the best of you is a sure way to fight messy and uncoordinated, giving your enemy an opening to take you down. While using your anger to fuel yourself is okay - you can’t let it take you over. You’re bound to mess up or miss an opening if all you feel is rage.”This is wha

    She was having us sit on the ground with our legs straight out in front of us. Without bending our knees, she wanted us to bend over and touch our toes. I managed to lightly graze my fingers against my shoes, realizing I really needed to stretch more. I always focused on speed and strength when I trained and rarely worried about flexibility.It was coming back to bite me in the ass as my muscles and ligaments strained, burning. She had us hold our position until the tension eased then try to reach further. Raina spoke plainly, her instructions clear and understandable. She was turning out to be an excellent teacher.That is until Kimberly opened her mouth.“I don’t understand why you’re making us learn all these stretches. It’s not like our wolves can lay down and touch their toes in battle. This is pointless.”I looked over at her and noted how she was having a hard time reaching her shoes without moving her knees. Most of the women were doing much better at it than she was.Everyone

    The next morning I woke up early. Despite the lack of sleep, I wanted to be up and ready to go to training and watch Raina’s first day helping out. My body was begging me for more rest but my mind was wide awake.I got dressed in a pair of shorts and a simple white t-shirt. After putting on a pair of tennis shoes, I made my way to the kitchen for coffee. I was surprised to find Raina already awake, sipping on her own cup and fully dressed.“Good morning,” she said, giving me a small smile. I felt her eyes rake up and down my body, darkening when she noticed my muscles straining against my t-shirt.I ran my own along her from head to toe, appreciating her figure in those tight red leggings and matching sports bra. I felt my blood rush south and a twitch in my pants. I had to look away before I started sporting a hard on.While the circles under her eyes were still dark, her blue orbs were no longer bloodshot and her skin not as pale. I knew she hadn’t slept well last night but even lac

    I was shaking uncontrollably as I left the pack house. The storm raging outside had nothing on the one inside my head. I could feel myself slipping into a dark place but I couldn’t let myself go there. I needed to stay strong and sane. Weather was keeping me from succumbing to the darkness.The falling rain was stinging my skin, helping keep me in reality. I welcomed the pain. The thunder crashed loudly as lightning struck across the sky. It really was a beautiful sight to see.I ran into the forest behind the house, not stopping until I came to a small clearing in the trees. The forest was silent except for the thunder, all the animals tucked in to hide from the storm.I stood in the clearing with my head to the sky. I didn’t stop the tears from falling this time, letting them mix with the rain. I was so angry. Angry at the rogues. Angry at Arrick. Angry at the Goddess.But most importantly, I was the most angry with myself.Why did this have to keep happening? I could only take so m

    “They killed him, Xander. They killed Alpha Marcus.” Tears were slowly falling out of her bloodshot blue eyes. Seeing the devastated look on her face, I stood from my chair and gathered her into my arms. The sobs coming from her were heartbreaking and I held her tighter. Storm was howling in my head, upset over the death of a great alpha and over how distraught Raina was. “It’s okay love. I’m right here,” I murmured in her ear, caressing her hair while she cried into my chest. I could feel her tears soaking my shirt but none of that mattered. The woman in my arms was my main priority. “I saw it all Xander. He died protecting his son,” she cried, shaking uncontrollably. The thunder outside shook the house, roaring in time to Raina’s sobs. The downpour of rain started shortly after, matching the somber moods of everyone in the room. I held her until her cries quieted and she stopped shaking. I gave her one last squeeze before pulling away to look into her tear streaked beautiful fac

    Raina decided to head up to bed early, stating it might take her a while to fall asleep and she didn’t want to miss anything if she did get a vision tonight. I gave her a lingering kiss on the forehead before she gave me a sad smile and walked up the stairs. I wanted to give her a real kiss so badly. My body and soul were pulling me towards her, wanting my lips to slam onto hers and kiss her until we both ran out of air, but unfortunately, I couldn’t. Not until she and I talked about what was going on between us. I needed clarity before I just started grabbing her and having my way with her. No matter how much I desired her, I’d keep myself in check until I knew for sure. Goddess, I had never wanted anything more. Her strength was admirable and resilience awe inspiring. I would be the luckiest man on earth to call her mine. Micah followed me to my office where we would wait for Liam to help put Victoria to bed before joining us. She and Raina had a fun filled afternoon but I think
