Rain’s POV Sleep wouldn’t come no matter how hard I wished it would. I even at one point tried stretching my aching body out flat on the floor of my cell. My fathered stared constantly at me. I crawled to the bars and looked deeply into his eyes. I searched for his dragon fire within his eyes. Sadness welled up from my soul. I knew he was in there and he was trying to find me but there just wasn’t a good enough connection in his mind to reach me. I pulled myself up off the floor as my father turned and wrapped his arms around my mother. I just wanted to hold on to them both and never let go again. I knew after I freed them and fixed their minds we would be a happy family again. I paced the small length of my cage like cell. I wanted my treasure. I missed my mate and being away from him was like pure torture to my soul. Light footsteps could be heard descending the stairs. I knew Crissy was coming but I wasn’t sure what for. Maybe to rub in my face the fact that I was now the prisone
Selwyn’s POV I knew something was happening here at the pack lands. Rod was acting strangely before he left in a hurry, without any explanation. “ Alta do you know what is going on here? Did alpha Rod tell you anything?” I asked while I stood up and began pacing the office floor. I usually met Alta out in the woods but we are inside the office of the pack house now. Alta looked at me and shook her head saying,” My king, I don’t know what is going on. The alpha didn’t tell me anything either. Maybe it’s something to do with the pack and he didn’t want to bother you.” I nodded and sat back down behind the desk. Maxim was always pacing in my mind or howling. It was getting harder to think straight. We wanted our mate back in our arms. I hated that our mate bond is closed off to each other. Anger over the situation flooded my mind again. I slammed my hands on the desk and stood back up. I needed some air and decided to take a walk. I left the Alta inside the pack house and walked out i
Selwyn’s POV Time was crawling by as I counted the minutes until dawn. I felt the need to rush this final act so I could reclaim my mate. Every second we spent apart was like torture to my soul and to Maxim who was again howling in my mind. I glanced again at the clock beside the bed and knew I couldn’t lay here another minute. I threw the blanket back and sat up. I placed my feet on the floor and stood up stretching my tired muscles. I did my morning routine quickly and dressed in my usual black clothes and boots. Then I headed downstairs to find food and wait for Rod to wake up. I walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a few of the packs omegas who worked in the pack house as maids. I nodded a greeting and took a cup of coffee from a young omega. I wasn’t in the mood for company so I made my way to the office. I sipped the hot coffee and began to make my plan for the final act to come. As I thought of how I needed to arrive all casual at the mansion and then become surprised
Selwyn’s POV I watched as my baby sister and Connie walked out of the library. I took a few moments to calm down my lycan, who was fighting for his freedom, inside my mind. I had to remain calm in order to gather information that I would need to kill Frank. I slowly made my way to the dungeon knowing that Willix was taking this time to have his chat with the fae bastard. When I walked inside the dungeon I saw Willix had hung Scott up by his shackles on the wall. Rod, Mack, and Thomas were standing to the side watching as Willix inflicted pain on the fae Prince. Willix delivered one final punch to Scott’s stomach and backed away turning to smirk at me. “ My King the prisoner is all yours. He is refusing to give us any information about Frank.” Willix said to me as he moved to stand next to Rod. “ Is that so? Well I guess then if he won’t talk, there is no reason to let him keep breathing.” I growled out as I stepped in front of my prey. Scott’s eyes were huge and fear leaked out of h
Rain’s POV I awoke startled and sore. I felt a small ripple in my magic and quickly checked on my sleeping dragon Reya. My precious dragon was still softly snoring in the back of my mind. I gazed around the dungeon and noticed that my parents and the elder wolves were still asleep. I wasn’t sure what the ripple in my magic meant but I needed to use the energy from Crissy to get us out of here this morning. I had no idea what time it was but it felt very early. I used a small amount of magic to see if Frank was upstairs or not. Lucky for us he wasn’t in the house. I quietly teleported myself out of my cell and walked to the cat man’s cell. He was wide awake and looking uncomfortable in all those chains. I looked deep into his yellow eyes and knew that he was going to be a huge help to me. I knew I would save him at any cost along with the others. I had promised him I would and I always kept my word. I teleported inside his cell and walked close to him and leaned next to his ear sa
Rain’s POV I sat up in bed, startled and confused. The dream I had gotten stuck in was still very vivid in my mind. I was with my treasure but I couldn’t reach him. No matter how hard I tried he was always out of my reach. Just like my dragon Reya. Tears were falling down my cheeks. I looked around the room and realized I was still in the hotel. My parents were not in the room with me anymore. Darkness had fallen outside and the moonlight was cascading across me on the bed. I wiped the tears away and got out of bed. I headed into the bathroom and quickly did my business. As I stood at the sink I felt numb. I washed my face and hands and looked at myself in the mirror. I was pale and my eyes looked dull. Exhaustion was evident in my gaze. I was truly tired and I didn’t mean my body. My soul was tired. I had no connections to anyone. I couldn’t reach out to my family and even though I had some magic still in me it was dark and evil. I shouldn’t have ever drained Crissy’s life force
Rain’s POV For the second time in my life I was floating on a sea of black nothingness. I had no idea how long I have been like this. Time has a strange way of standing still when you get caught in the void inside your own mind. I couldn’t feel the evil blood magic inside me anymore. That means Selwyn must have destroyed it. I wondered why then was I still stuck like this? Surely my mate would have been able with his magic to free me from this darkness. I reached out with my senses and was met with nothing. I couldn’t hear anyone. Couldn’t see anything around me but pitch black. I couldn’t feel, smell, or taste anything. Nervousness began to sink in as I tried to move my body and reach inside myself for my powers. Nothing happened. Sadly I couldn’t even cry at this point. Frustration rushed through my mind as I kept trying and trying to break myself out of this void and the darkness. I just wanted Selwyn. I continued to float along into what felt like and endless abyss. Sleep wo
Selwyn’s POV I was standing just outside the mansion as a large purple suv came sliding sideways to a stop. I jerked the door open and lifted out the love of my life. I knew from the mindlinks of Rod and Nevel that something was wrong with my Rain. They all thought it was the dark evil blood magic. Now that she was in my arms I knew that it wasn’t the case. I looked into her eyes as she fought to stay awake for me. A single tear slipped out of the corner of my eye as I watched with helplessness as Rain succumbed to a deep sleep. I couldn’t feel her through the mate bond but I could still feel the tingles from holding her in my arms. I quickly carried her to our room and laid her on our bed. Maxim was torn apart as again we were helpless to fix our mate. Rain had suffered so much by others evil intentions already. I just wanted to protect her and never let her go. I knew she was strong and I knew even with all my power and magic I would do everything in my power to keep her saf
