~Rain~ "Do you still think he'll come?" Caspian asked for the umpteenth time about Cody. It had been hours since we started cooking and finished up, but Cody hadn't made an appearance, and he hadn't replied to any of my texts. Where are you? I'm worried, Cody, please reply. Cody, don't shut me out, please. The meal has been prepared, so please come back. "Rain," Caspian tapped me on the shoulder, and I turned to face him. "I'm sorry, and if this is about me, then I think I should apologize to Cody and..." I shook my head. "It's okay. I don't think you need to do that because it's all going to be good. We'll settle this, and I'll try to call him." "I should head back home now. My boyfriend texted me ten minutes ago, asking me to come back home." "Right," I stood up from the couch and walked him to the front door. "Thank you for helping me tonight, Caspian, and have a good night." He smiled at me, hugged me, and then waved before walking out of the penthouse. I heaved a dee

~Rain~My whole body ached intensely, feeling as though someone was dragging me across a hard surface. Was it a dream or a figment of my imagination? I couldn't figure out why I was being dragged on the ground and by whom.I slowly fluttered my eyes open, tuning into the sounds of footsteps. At least five people surrounded me, according to my count. Who were they? Where did they come from? Was I kidnapped? It seemed like the only reason for being dragged in such a manner. I needed to come up with a plan instead of remaining on the ground and doing nothing."Where the hell are you taking us?" Cody's voice echoed from the front. I strained to listen, confirming it was indeed him. "Where the hell are you taking us to?" he questioned again, leaving no room for doubt.Cody was also taken, but how? I recalled him leaving the club after an altercation, but now he was close to another man, the identity of whom remained unknown."Don't ask me questions, Lycan prince!" the man shouted back at h

~CODY~The bright light above my head pierced through my closed eyes. Where was I? I wondered as I tried to search for Rain beside me, but the space was empty. My eyes fluttered open, and I scanned the room, looking for Rain. He was nowhere in sight. Initially, the room appeared blurry, and I could barely see anything. However, on closer inspection, I realized I was no longer in Uncle Marcus’s small room; instead, I was back.Back in my room in the werewolf realm.I leaped to my feet and rushed out of the room, stumbling to the ground as I opened the door. "Ezra," I called out to my lycan but received no response. "Are you ignoring me because I cut you short? If you can hear me, say something!" I yelled, yet again receiving no response.He was ignoring me; I knew that. But it felt as if he had vanished from my head as if he was never there. "Keep ignoring me, Ezra, then I'll do the same to you soon," I spat angrily, standing up and going in search of Rain.As I walked down the hallway

~Rain~ A week ago, My eyes fluttered open, and the brightness of the light above me almost blinded me, but I shut my eyes to adjust. When I opened them again, I could finally adapt to the brightness and looked around, noticing I was in a white room. The beeping machine beside me resounded in my head, making me wince in pain. It was too loud, and it felt like my head would explode.I stared around, coughed as I sniffed in the bleach scent, and winced in pain as my heart continued to ache terribly."Cody," I called his name, expecting to see him around me, but he was nowhere near. "Cody," I muttered his name again, but he was still absent. I coughed again, stretched my hand forward, and rubbed it gently. "Cody, where are you?" I called out, but he remained out of sight.Where could he be? I wondered as I expected that he would come out of his hiding place and talk to me.I bit my lower lip, hiding the pain I felt at that moment. My back ached severely, reminding me of the fighting inc

~Cody~ I frowned at the paper in my hand and scoffed for the umpteenth time. I rubbed my hands together and heaved a deep sigh. "You are asking me to say this in front of everyone, right?" I yelled at my parents, holding the paper up in front of them. "You want me to lie about my relationship with Rain, which I've already told you I will not be doing. So why are you forcing me to do it?" My mother rubbed her face, tired of my arguing about the paper, while my father maintained a stoic look and didn't respond. "So, this is how it will be, right?" I asked them and then chuckled. "I am supposed to lie in front of everyone after you ruined our lives!" I shouted, dropping the paper to the ground and stomping on it. "I am not going to be reading this!" I declared. My father stood up and nodded at his Gamma, Uncle Tristan, who walked towards him with another piece of paper. "Thank you, Tristan," he said, receiving the letter and shoving it into my hand. "I don't care if you continue to act
