~CODY~I couldn’t believe my ears when my mother made the announcement. It felt like they were turning me away. "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to tell me that I can’t be a part of this family anymore? Is this your way of telling me to leave?" I shouted."Sending me to the human world is your way of…""Protecting you," my father replied.I chuckled and moved away from Uncle Marcus. "You're so ashamed of me to that extent that you want me gone!""Cody," Uncle Marcus tried to say something, but I cut him off."You have no idea what I have faced ever since I came out. My parents wouldn’t even accept me because they are ashamed of me!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, moved to the nearest wall, and hit it repeatedly until I felt Rain’s hand on my back."Control yourself," Ezra muttered to me. "Stop acting as if the world was taken away from you!" he shouted at me.I chuckled. "You act as if the world is not truly taken away from me!" I retorted. "Do you have any idea what it mea

~RAIN~The human world was not where I had expected that I would ever be. When the alpha king announced that I was going there with Cody, I knew that I had no option but to be there for him. I was his world and he was mine.Being with him was all I needed.‘’Don’t we think we should shower?’’ Cody asked if he had broken the kiss. ‘’I am feeling sweaty,’’ he said and tried to stand up from my legs, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him back into my arms wrapping my arms around his waist, and then I slipped my hand into the hem of his shirt and running his warm back.‘’mm,’’he responded and chuckled. ‘’it felt so good,’’he chuckled.I laughed and continued rubbing his back, and then I leaned in to nuzzle his neck and inhale his sweaty smell. I wanted so badly at that moment that I couldn’t hide it, and so I continued to rub his back.Cody chuckled as he wrapped his arms around me. ‘’I missed this. I truly missed us,’’ he said.‘’Don’t distract me,’’ I muttered to him and then kissed his

~CODY~It was a celebration and it was all for Rain. It was his birthday and he was smiling and everyone was there, gathered in a joyous celebration. The atmosphere crackled with excitement, an energy that surged through the air. Everyone including those from school had gathered around to wish Rain a happy birthday and I couldn’t be happier.Everything that I have ever wanted was right in front of me. The screen in front of me was showing a news headline about Rain. Our pictures were pasted on the screen and they were announcing us being the royal alphas. It was not what I had expected to see. Everyone who was against us was smiling at us and it felt surreal that I had to pinch myself to make sure that I was not dreaming. Everywhere I looked, there were smiles, genuine and radiant, as friends, family, and our pack members came together to honor Rain.I was standing beside Rain smiling since the world had finally agreed to our bond. I grabbed his hand and rubbed it gently. Amid the jub

~Rain~ "This place is so silent," I commented as we walked up a long, grand staircase. Even though I was speaking softly, I could hear my voice echoing up the stairs. Where was I? I had no idea because the last thing I remembered was seeing Tyler, Cody's cousin who bears an uncanny resemblance to Asher back in the werewolf realm and now, I had appeared here where I didn't even know. Servants were scattered about, too many to count. "Do you have a silent policy, or is this part of your tradition of not allowing your workers to talk?" I asked him. "For someone who should be resting, you seem to have a lot you want to talk about. Save that for tomorrow during the press conference; then, you shall be allowed to speak your mind as you wish," Cody replied. ''it will be the morning when i shall announce you as my mate!'' I scoffed. "Does the royal home have a silent policy, or am I missing something?" Cody stopped walking and looked down at me. "What do you mean?" he frowned at me. ''i

CODY~"What on earth is happening to you, Cody?" Rain's questions hit me the moment we stepped into the penthouse. I ignored him and headed towards the stairs. He followed, repeating the same question. "Cody, please respond. I need to know what's happening, and why you're giving me the silent treatment!"I chuckled but remained silent, walking past him and entering the bathroom. "Cody!" he called after me, but I shut the door in his face, staring at myself in the mirror.My reflection revealed dark bags under my eyes. I was burdened with worries, and on top of that, I feared the new boy, Caspian, might draw Rain away from me or that Gasin could ruin everything for us.I shouldn't be acting this way. Instead, I should draw closer to Rain and make the best of our time in the human realm, where no one knows about us. It was the perfect place to find happiness until the heat in the werewolf realm had died down. Instead of finding happiness, I was succumbing to jealousy."What the hell is
