~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~The locker room hums with pre-game energy, but I can barely focus on Coach Tom's talk. My mind keeps drifting to everything Luna revealed last night.I can't wrap my head around my sister being a guardian, and there was Ethan, and most importantly, about Mariah being a descendant of the seven guardians. That's freaking me out. If others knew..."Cross! You listening?" Coach Tom barks, making me snap back to attention."Yes, sir. Ready to go."Jackson catches my eye from across the room and gives me a look that says we must talk. He's been watching me closely since I got back from my "injury".Everyone believes I miraculously healed overnight after that hit from Boston. If only they knew. In this upcoming game, I promise myself to be very careful.The game against the New York Rangers goes better than expected. We're up 3-1 in the second period, and I've managed to score twice without using any supernatural abilities. It felt good playing clean hockey, just the way

~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~Luna and I walk back to my apartment in silence. Both of us in our own thoughts. Everything she's revealed about the seven guardians, about Mariah's heritage, about the portal powers that control our world, feels too overwhelming for me and I am scared.Not for me but for Mariah because I just have a bad feeling that something bad is about to happen."Rain," Luna says as we reach my door, "I need to apologize for always being around your personal space lately. I know you like being alone, but I'm worried something might happen to you because of the elders in charge of this world's portal."I pause with my key halfway to the lock. "The elders? You made mention of them earlier, tell me more about them."Luna's face grows expressionless as we enter my apartment. She moves to the window, staring at the world below like she's watching out for threats I can't see. The way she scans the street below, checking people and rooftops, makes my wolf restless."The elders are the

~∆~ Ethan's POV ~∆~I'm sitting in my office, trying to focus on the case files spread across my desk, but my mind keeps wandering to Alpha Kane's demand to meet Mariah. Why would he want to meet my fake mate? And how am I supposed to present her as my mate when she won't even speak to me? I need to find to fix this mess.The knock on my door interrupts my scattered thoughts."Come in," I call, straightening my tie and putting on my professional face.The woman who enters is in her forties, with dark circles under her eyes and a careful way of moving that I recognize immediately. Another one of those people. Humans can be so stupid and foolish. Looking at the one in front of me, I am hundred percent sure she is one of those foolish women. I've seen it in dozens of clients over the years, the cautious posture of someone who's learned to expect pain. This is going to be long one. I couldn't help but grumble."Mr. Summers?" she says softly. "I'm Sarah Mart. I have an appointment abou

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~ The insults I've endured from these she-wolves have been constant and cruel. I can never understand the logic behind their stupid whispers when they can't even chase me out of their pack. I haven't told Rain about what I've been dealing with. Whenever the pack women enter my room to clean or bring food, they whisper just loud enough for me to hear every word. "Whore," they call me. "Mate stealer." I've learned that most of these women know Rain is a famous hockey player, and quite a few of them had crushes on him before this whole mess started. So, they don't blame him. They blame me for seducing him and using a kind of magic on him. Although, I am wondering if all of them believe all humans have some abilities like them. Then, there were the younger ones, who followed Natasha's social media. These set call me a slut for "stealing another woman's boyfriend" when I "had a fiancé." They still believe Ethan is my mate, despite everything Kane learned du

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~I'm halfway to Rain's apartment, no, our apartment? This temporary living situation is getting confusing. Hell, my life is confusing. My phone rings pulling me from my wandering thoughts. The caller ID shows "Mom," and I realize with horror that I haven't talked to my mother in over a week."Hi, Mom.""Mariah Elena Rivera, what in God's name is happening to you?"I wince. Full name usage is never a good sign. I try to play dumb."What do you mean, Mom?""I mean I just saw a news report claiming my daughter is living in sin with a hockey player and involved in some kind of cult!"Forgot to mention my mom is overly religious. I wish I had the faith she did, maybe the devil would have fled from me like she would always say, rebuke the devil and he will flee from you. The devil certainly didn't flee from me because..."Mom, it's not...""And apparently you broke up with Ethan? When were you planning to tell me that? I liked Ethan!"I nearly drop the phone. "You
