Charles' P.O.V. I was still pissed at Gunner for what he did. I told him to wait. We needed to wait. She can't be claimed yet. Especially not after what we found out. Gunner being Gunner threw caution to the window and did what he wanted. I couldn't give her what she wanted and it was killing me. It was killing her. I hated to see the hurt I was causing her. I could tell she was holding back tears when I let her go. My insides were turning with guilt and worry. I shouldn't have let her go. What the f*ck was I thinking. 'Go get her' Gunner chimed in at my thought. 'I'm still pissed at you. This is your fault.' I scolded him as I headed down the same path Rain took. My heart suddenly began to race as if my life was in danger. The pit in my stomach twisted and my body chilled all over. 'They are in danger!' Gunner yelled inside me. I shifted, never having shifted this fast and flawlessly with him. We ran towards the direction she went in. I saw signs of a slight struggle before lo
I stood there deep in thought. Replaying the last moment I saw Rain. Her eyes were so hurt. I hated myself for causing her pain, but I couldn't claim her yet. I want her, I really do, but I can't have her yet. For her own good, I have to wait. Nate approached me as I was deep in thought. He seemed to have made all the phone calls he could. "I've reached out to all my black market people. No one has heard anything about a young female werewolf. At least she's not there." Nate's eyes looked dark and I knew why. The black market is a very scary place full of evil and darkness. Knowing that she at least isn't there has helped us all a little. "Good. Thank you for checking." I rubbed the bridge of my nose, trying to think of where she could be. Nate nodded his head. He wanted to do more, we were feeling the same thing. We wanted to find Rain now. I could see Kaitlyn heading back towards us. She was hard to read, her face was always so serious. I wasn't sure if she was coming with good
Rain's P.O.V. How could I let myself get kidnapped? Kidnapped by some scary a*s vampires none the less. The group that took me seemed older, and really experienced. They had subdued me without a problem and carried my limp body all the way here, wherever here was. I assume it's a ways away from the college. I couldn't tell what time it was outside as it was pitch black in herr. My eyes had adjusted to the dark, but I didn't like it one bit. I didn't understand what they wanted from me, and they refused to acknowledge my existence anytime I tried to speak to them. I had tried being annoying, to get them to talk to me, but they remained stoic. Nothing seemed to faze them. I had given up about an hour ago. I sat on the floor shackled against the hard rock wall. Where the hell was I? I wanted to curse myself for being so careless. I couldn't talk to Heli through the silver they used on me. It was weakening us both. I just really hoped that Charles would be able to get here and help us
I was grateful that Stefan was gone, but also not. I may have even rather been bitten by him than have been left with Luke. The moment Stefan left the room Luke was back on me. He grabbed a fistful of my hair pulling me to stand up. He turned me around, pushing me into the wall. He wrapped his arm around me, snaking them under my shirt. He slowly made his way to my breasts and I cringed inside as he squeezed it. He moved closer forcing my a*s to rub against him. I could feel his hardened d*ck on my a** through my pants. He pulled my bra to the side releasing my breast as he started to pull on my n*pple, again causing me to cringe inside. I caved my chest in trying to get away from him. He rubbed himself on my a** more. "You're so beautiful Rain. I'll make you remember how much pleasure I can make you feel." He whispered into my ear causing me to shake with fear. I forced myself to think of anything else but this. I closed my eyes trying to ignore the swaying motion of Luke against m
Nate had stayed back in the hospital to keep us informed. I knew that if he was calling something must have changed. "Hello," I answered. "He's awake and asking for you. You need to get here." Nate responded. His tone was very serious which worried me more than anything. "Yeah, I'm on my way" I didn't want to leave the cure and I think Star could sense that. "You go. Don't worry about this. I'll keep working on it while you're gone." She told me. I took her word and ran out of the lab. I ran as quickly as I could toward the hospital. I desperately wanted to see Charles, to talk with him. I needed him to be okay, but I knew he wasn't. I ran through the large doors and ran into Nate. He led me to Charles' room. "He's awake and talking. He isn't in pain currently, but they have been pumping him with pain killers so he's a little loopy. Rain, brace yourself, he doesn't look good." Nate told me. His eyes were full of sorrow for me. I felt my chest tighten with worry. I walked into th
Nate looked at me confused as he came toward me. I didn't have time to stop and explain. "Watch him, call me if it spreads to his face. I think I have the cure figured out." I called to him as I ran down the hall. I ran as quickly as I could. I shifted, letting Heli get us to the lab faster. I ran into the building still full wolf. I shifted outside of the lab opening the door in all my nakedness. I grabbed a lab coat that was hanging by the door. I ran toward Star who had gotten everything ready and together. The cure was there just waiting for that missing ingredient. "Star, I know what it is." I yelled at her as I tried to catch my breath. " It's the flower." I pointed to the ring I had made out of the flower she gave me. She looked at me a bit confused. "Trust me. It's the flower. How do I make it?" She still seemed confused, but she believed me as she taught me how to do it. I called forward one and Star liquified it and added it to the cure. The cure changed from a dark purpl
Charles' P.O.V. I woke up in the hospital bed after a terrible night of sleep. It was impossible to sleep knowing Rain was in a jail cell.I let my guard down and got myself bit by a damn vampire lord. It's because I couldn't take care of him, that she had to. I feel like such a weakling. How could I let this happen? Not only did I let her get kidnapped, but I botched the rescue. She not only ended up saving herself, she saved me too. She finished my cure and saved me with it. Honestly without her that cure probably would have never been finished. I would never have known that I was missing that small flower. It made sense when I thought about it now, but I never would have thought of it myself. She is the most amazing person. She is powerful and extremely intelligent. She's strong physically and mentally. Her lineage is insane on it's own, but to be mixed in with her personality and intelligence; it made her that much more amazing. I can't believe how lucky I am to have a mate like
Rain's P.O.V. They rushed my criminal court hearing so that I could go to the council trial sooner. The lawyer Nate got for me was great! He had so much evidence and many statements from police reports and past cases proving Stefan had kidnapped others before. He showed proof of Charle' injuries and how they were sustained by Stefan. He told them I was only defending myself and my mate. He had to explain the importance of a mate to the judge as he was human. The judge looked over everything and since the people agreed, it was ruled as self defense. I was let go that afternoon into the custody of the council. I went from one jail cell to another. I at least got to eat something before the council took me. I thanked my lawyer and asked him to thank Nate for me. I hadn't heard from him since they took me in last night. Nate was right. The criminal proceeding went smoothly as it was just self defense. Now came the hard part, the scary part. I needed to prove my actions were just, and
