Chapter Fifteen

[Ra’ne’s POV]

I know he finally gets some time right lol

I knew Kin was being overly cautious of my well-being but it was getting a little ridiculous, this ‘friend/brother’ of his was a little much. He had brought a ‘squad’ of Wolves with him that I have only met one other of and she was a total bitch. She had a thing for my Mate and that was almost a total disaster. Kin and this Solon person had to almost kill her for coming after me.

I didn’t really like the fact that she had chosen to stick around and keep watching out for me but Kin had said it was fine and that she would do her job. Again, I am not a very trusting Wolf. Especially not since I just took the one thing she had wanted most. Kin.

She was more than pissed off and more than had a reason to become Vengeful. However, Kin tried to convince me otherwise, saying that her kind, the Shadows, were not like that. Even Solon tried to explain it to me but I was far too confused to really understand it.

I, however, will forever be a cautious Wolf. I don’t trust as easily as everyone else does. Not even those who are bound by sacred vows always keep them when something close to their heart is taken right in front of them.

One night, a few days after her little episode, Kin and I were sound asleep when I swear to the Goddess that I felt another presence in the room with us. It had woken me from a dead sleep. It had been very evil and very female. I had kept it to myself for many reasons, both Kin and Solon would not have believed me and they would have probably thought I was making things up. Most importantly I didn’t really have any proof.

I had only one course of action, wait her out. I knew she was watching me and Kin. Closely. She was watching Kin dote on me, kiss me, hug me, watch me. She was watching him do everything she wants for herself. She may be well trained but I knew her type, I have seen a million of them before and at some point, she is going to come after me.

I was ready for it but I knew that Kin and Solon were not. They were not going to like the outcome and they were not going to like what I was going to be forced to do.

Skie was teaching me things while we were sleeping. It was not going to end well for this She-Wolf if she came at me. I was becoming stronger and so much better than I used to be at many things. I was no longer that timid little Omega.

++++++++Later that night ++++++++++++++

Kin was practically wrapped around me just like every night, when the second presence became known to me. Skie was ready this time and he reached out to seek out and capture the person that was in our rooms that was not supposed to be there.

Before the person could talk Skie gagged them with the darkness that surrounded them.

‘Who are you?’ Skie questioned his voice demanding and unwavering.

‘Solon!!’ the voice called out as the body tried to fight against Skie’s hold only to fail in its escape.

‘You cannot lie to us. Solon is male. Either that or he has been lying to Kin for years. You are female!! Who are you!!!’ Skie demanded again, his mind much harsher this time. Something in it compelling her to tell the truth.

‘Telani!!!’ she answered unwillingly. Skie had a way of getting answers

‘Why are you here? No lies!!’ Skie said his voice almost shaking Telani’s core.

‘To kill Ra’ne for stealing what was supposed to be mine!!’ she screamed out still struggling against Skie’s hold on her. She had never had to fight her own Shadow before and it was not sitting well with her. She was after all a Shadow Warrior and had been bathed in darkness.

However, she had never come across a Wolf quite like Skie or myself. ‘Kin was NEVER yours!!’ Skie shouted before squeezing the shadows around her.

‘Don’t kill her. She is Solon’s problem and she must answer for this the right way.’ I said reaching for Skie to ease up a little. She was already unconscious from the limpness in her body.

Skie grumbled but did as I asked and deposited her on the floor at the end of our bed. I lept up, making sure to keep my eyes on her, just in case. With my sudden movement Kin was sitting up in a flash and already in a defensive stance ready for a fight.

“What’s wrong my love?” he asked as he came to my side. I pointed to the ground and he growled at the unconscious form of Telani. “What in the HELL!!!” he shouted before snatching her up and hauling her out of the room in a flash.

I followed after him, not wanting him to do anything rash in his angered state. “SOLON!!!” Kin roared, making me flinch a little. I’ve never seen him angry before and this was beyond any anger I had ever seen in my life.

Solon appeared suddenly, a look of fear on his face, he could sense Kin's anger and I could see it was scaring even him. He knelt at Kin’s feet, baring his neck in submission. “Yes, Alpha Kin.” He said his head bowed not wanting to look at my Mate in the eyes. I could feel the collective fear coming from all those that had surrounded the BloodStar Pack House and it was almost suffocating. They were all terrified of Kin and for good reason at this point too. One of their own had tried to kill his Mate. Kin was more than pissed off. He was fuming fires of hell.

I went to Kin instantly, needing him to calm down so that the others would do the same. They were getting closer to Solon to keep him safe and the intensity of their fear was getting to be too much for me and Skie. I placed my hand on Kin’s forearm and he looked down at me, anger in his eyes at first before they softened immensely. “Please, calm down.” I whined, trying to make him feel how his actions were beginning to cause problems for me.

Kin looked around us, “Go away, all of you. I called for Solon only.” He called out; his voice far less hostile than it had just been. The suppressing fear suddenly vanished and I was able to breathe a lot easier, causing me to lean against Kin a little. I smiled up at him as he took my hand into his own. He looked to Solon his features becoming like stone as he looked at his friend who was still kneeling at our feet in fear.

“You never should have brought Telani to this place Solon. I warned you to keep quiet and you disregarded my words. Now this filth was found in my room, no doubt in an attempt to harm my Mate.” He said his voice emotionless as he threw Telani’s unconscious form to Solon who gasped then growled in anger.

Sol looked up at Kin, sadness in his eyes as he looked at him. “I never meant for this to happen my brother. I was only trying to protect the future of our kind.” He said softly, his eyes filled with shame as he looked down at his unconscious charge.

“And by doing so you put us all in danger. Solon, you always told me that we must think before we act. Our instincts are strong and for me I will always be the more head-strong one in this but I need you to think about this the RIGHT way.” Kin said, their conversation made no sense to me. What in the hell was going on with them? Why were they acting as if I was the most important thing in the world?

“Kin…” I called out softly, reaching for him with my other hand. In an effort to stabilize myself and the thoughts that were suddenly crowding my mind. I felt faint and so unsure of everything around me at the moment because nothing made sense to me. Kin and Solon's actions were confusing me so much.

Kin’s arms were suddenly around me and I was lifted from the ground in a flash. “I swear to the Goddess Solon, if all of this has done something to harm him, I will kill you.” He growled before he carried me back inside the Pack House and away from Solon who was still on the ground. Frozen in shock and fear. It was not something I was used to feeling from others around me. At least not when it came to something to do with me. I was always the one feeling fear not the other way around.

“Why are they so afraid of you?” I asked softly as Kin laid us back on our bed, holding me close to his chest. Holding onto me like I was his last chance at life.

Kin sighed and leaned against me as he snuggled closer to me in the bed, inhaling my scent deeply as he nuzzled against my bare skin. “I am not exactly the best Wolf in the world to be around when angry. I have a very dark past and it is not something I like to share often. I was alone for too long and I was slowly losing my mind without you.” He admitted to me softly as he nuzzled my neck where my Mark was, sending chills of pleasure down my spine.

I was not ok with that thought. He had been losing himself without me, all because of Grissa's greed. I could have lost him because of someone else's greed for power of everyone. “Will you tell me about it all?” I asked curiously, running my fingers down his face gently. I wanted to make it better for him I wanted to take away his hurt, like he had done for me. He had saved me from all that pain and I wanted to do the same thing for him.

He sighed, a deep sadness in his voice as buried his face that much deeper into my neck. “Eventually, my ember. I can only handle so much of it at once myself. I may not have had the life you did but my own life was not exactly the best guided one. I made a lot of mistakes that I am sure will come back to haunt me in the future.” He whispered softly. His breathing was brushing against my Mark and it was doing things to my body that I liked very much. The sparks of electricity that were going haywire through my entire body were going straight for my forbidden area and bringing it to life, building a tight knot in my stomach, causing me to squirm a little.

“Kin…” I moaned out getting him to look up at me in a flash. I knew I sounded desperately needy but I had been deprived of so many things that this was one thing I wanted at every chance I could. I had never wanted it from anyone but this one man hovering above me with such pure dominance.

Kin smiled slyly at me and began to nip along my jawline, going along my neck with his kisses and gentle touches. He was driving me mad and I was enjoying every moment of it. I never wanted him to stop sending me into this pure state of blissful need.
