Novel & Cerita Roger Meets Rayleigh

Plastering the perfect look of concern on my face, I allow myself to be led through the double doors that keep us away from the chaos that takes place within a place like this. As we reach our destination, I can hear a commotion, and that just makes my curiosity peak even more. “What is this?” Naomi gasps when we reach them and find Roger and Rosco glaring at one another. “Hamilton?” “Naomi,” Hamilton gasps, realizing that his wife was back and a witness to whatever was happening. “Why don’t you go and..." “I was leaving anyway,” Roger growls, grabbing Beatrice and giving her a tug. “Take care of Denali.”

She swung around to find a familiar figure staring at her. “Roger?” she asked, surprised. Roger looked at her and stepped inside, shutting the door behind him. He didn’t say a word. “Roger, weren’t you just...” Rihanna turned back to the monitors. The screen she had just seen Roger on was empty now, no one in sight. It was definitely the volcano exhibit camera, which was on the complete opposite side of the building. Rihanna looked back at Roger. The older guy didn’t say a word, and instead stared firmly at the screen in front of him, the fluorescent glow lighting his chiseled features.

Raya’s POV My mind was overwhelmed with the rapid succession of unexpected events. Each new obstacle came crashing down on me like a wave, leaving me gasping for breath and struggling to make sense of it all. Garret was standing right in front of me, but it couldn't have been possible. I thought I was going crazy when Garret spoke directly to me and no one else seemed to see or hear him. However, as soon as Blake walked into the room, he looked straight at Garret without any confusion on his face. But when Blake spoke, he acted as if Garret weren't there at all. It's official, I'm insane. I miss him so much and felt so scared that my mind just manifested him.

“A pleasure to meet you, Caitlin.” I smiled back. “A pleasure to meet you, too. How do you guys know each other?” “Oh,” Roger said, smiling, “let’s just say we go way back.” “Roger is one of my oldest friends,” Caleb said. “He’s saved my life once or twice.” “More times than that,” Rogers said, laughing. Rose peeked her head out of my jacket, and Roger’s eyes lit up. “Well, hello little fella,” he said, coming over and petting her.

Rowan did stare, though, which in his language was basically a handshake. I met Roger halfway down the hall, folder in hand, hair still in a braid, and my stomach still faintly annoyed with me for not having its pill this morning. It hadn’t escalated into full mutiny yet. I considered that a win. “Tell me you brought good news,” I said. Roger’s gaze swept the hallway—too calm, too sharp—before it landed back on me. “I brought news. You can decide if it’s good after you stop enjoying your optimism.”

He narrowed his eyes. “Then talk. Quickly. I despise useless chatter.” I leaned forward, steepling my fingers. “It's about someone you’re familiar with.” His irritation slipped—just slightly. “Familiar with?” “Yes,” I smirked. “Mia Esbond.” Silence. Then Roger’s eyes darkened completely. Every muscle in his jaw tightened. “My niece,” he murmured. “Your dear niece,” I corrected. “And she’s here in Thornveil.” Roger didn’t say anything at first. He just stared at me, and the dragon behind him exhaled a stream of smoke that nearly set the carpet ablaze.

The bond between us grows stronger with each passing day, and I am grateful to have Stacey by my side, a beacon of light and love in my life. Stepping out onto the balcony, the cool breeze washing over me, I dial Roger's number, the weight of recent events heavy on my mind. “What is the update, Roger? Did you find out about Meg and Tyler?” As he answers the call, Roger informs me about the growing bond between Meg and Tyler, their interactions becoming more frequent and intimate. The news deepens my suspicions, further fueling my concerns about the hidden motives behind their secretive meetings.

He pointed to the alleyway and smirked evilly. “She is going to come into the alleyway. She's an arrogant hunter. She is going to want to one prove herself, two she’s going to investigate the area where the first attack happened and three she will find her way to the alley and we will attack her there.” Roger smiled. “Ok.” Clay said, confused. “So get in the fucking alley and hide.” Roger growled. “What about Kendrick?” Chad asked. “We will mindlink him to meet us here.” Roger sighed.

Roger paused his actions and stared into her green alluring eyes. “Men like me love only once. I knew she wasn’t related by blood to me, but when you left me, I preferred taking my life than sharing it with anyone else who wasn’t you.” His words erased every doubt in her mind, and she climbed on top of him, pinning his back to the bed. Roger loved her wildness as she rode him like a crazy cat. The only food they wanted was themselves, falling asleep by midnight. It was only after Roger was dropping off Karen that he remembered the meeting with Destiny.

Richard interrupted curiously as he watched Roger and me. Roger ignored Richard's interruption and gently placed his hand on top of mine. Instantly, I felt a surge of energy pass between us, as if our connection had amplified the subtle energy patterns I had been describing. His eyes started glowing with a mesmerizing intensity, reflecting the newfound power coursing through our intertwined hands. It was as if Roger's touch had unlocked a hidden potential within me, leaving me both exhilarated and intrigued by the possibilities that lay ahead. "Regina, you're not a golden wolf." Roger's words startled me, causing my heart to skip a beat. Confusion washed over me as I tried to comprehend the
