Eryn's P.O.V.I swear, f*cking Charles. I should have fought him, but I was worried of Rain getting hurt more, caught in the middle of us. She was teasing him with me, but it was so f*cking hot. I didn't think Charles would get so messed up about it. I hate him more now. How can he be mated to her? What does he even have to offer her? I don't understand it and I hate it completely. Sometimes I wish it could be just her and I… no Charles. I love her so damn much already. She's my whole life now. I'll do anything to make sure she's happy, including helping the person I hate the most right now. I will not let anything or anyone hurt her again. I'll train in swords and home my magic to better protect her. I'll become stronger for her. My heart hurt to see the tears she was fighting back in her eyes. It hurt that she left me behind, but I could feel her emotions like my own. She was mad, hurt and didn't want to be around either of us. She was so hurt that I didn't

"Rain we need to stop. Please listen to my words. I am doing everything I can to hold back, but if you keep this up I won't be able to stop again, Rain. Please go. If I could touch you I would pick you up and put you out in the hall." He slightly chuckled at the thought. His words hurt me so much. They felt like daggers to my heart. He didn't want me and I needed him. I need him so much right now. He's the only thing that will bring me happiness. He just needs to take me to his bed. I looked at him, sadness clearly visible on my face. Tears stinging the back of my eyes. "Rain." He held his hand up like he wanted to comfort me, but stopped himself before he touched me. My tears began to silently spill when he didn't. "Nate, please no. I don't want to go. Don't make me go." I pleaded, my bottom lip out and pouting. "Oh God, Rain. I won't really be able to resist. I don't want to ruin us. I want to be in your life forever. Even if it kills me tha

Nate held me closely on the chair. I sat on his lap, my head resting back on his shoulder. My hand was tucked in his shirt over his heart, I could feel the beat of his heart, comforting me further. His Lemon and mint scent relaxed me more. We had a movie on, but I had a hard time paying it any attention. Nate had me so enthralled by his touch that it was the only thing my mind seemed to be on. Every now and then returning to Eryn and the depression I was feeling from him. I sighed heavily, feeling so guilty. I wish I could get him to understand more, to be okay with it all. I cheated on them both before I even knew Nate was my mate. Pheromones or not. I can't say I regret it though. Finding out Nate is my mate has somehow made me feel complete. I had a piece of me I didn't know I was missing. Nate rubbed my back soothingly, feeling the guilt I was feeling. "I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with this." His voice was soft and soothing. He wanted t

Rain's P.O.V.I couldn't stop crying. I had been crying hysterically for almost an hour now. It took us a minute to realize what that horrible pain was. Heli could feel it. She whimpered Charles' name. I knew he was mad at me, but never did I think he would hurt us like this. Nate had helped me through the physical pain as it happened, and now he was helping me through the emotional pain. I wanted to know who he cheated on me with, but I also didn't. My heart felt shattered only held together by Nate's touch on my skin. It took everything in me to not crumble further. The pain had been so unbearable, it was the worst pain of my life. For 20 minutes it felt like I was being stabbed repeatedly in the stomach. It felt like someone had poured molten lava down my throat. "I'll kill him." Nate huffed. His chest is glowing for a different reason now. He could feel all the pain I had gone through. When he found out why I was hurting he started fuming.

Nate wrapped his arms around my ribs lifting me up and spinning me around. He placed kiss after kiss on me. He was so excited and I couldn't help but feel myself fall more in love with him. He will be a great dad, I can just feel it. "We need to go see the Doctor right now." He said hurriedly. He grabbed my hand pulling me behind me. I had to run a bit to catch up. "There's a doctor here?" "Yeah. She's very nice. She can give us a sonogram of the baby." He turned to look at me. His eyes fell on my stomach. He smiled again the most genuinely happy smile I have ever seen. "Come Rain, I wanna see it." "Is there even anything to really see right now?" I asked, still trying to wrap my head around the timeline. "If not today then there will be something to see tomorrow. I just can't wait, Rain. I'm too excited." He squeezed my hand as we turned another corner. We finally stopped in front of a large o
