“Well, we better figure it out fast; and, put an end to this crazy, destructive behavior of hers.”
I agree that her behavior’s been a bit crazy, and on the wild side; but, do you really think it’s also destructive? How?
“Come on, Rai; it goes without saying that it should always be ‘sisters before misters’ … and; that especially needs to be kept in mind when those misters just so happen to belong to your sisters.”
Right; I see your point … I get it now.
“Great. Now, talk to her; Rai … we need to straighten her out; before she ruins her relationship with the others.”
Actually; I know that Terra’s holding back from speaking what’s really on her mind … because, as my inner-wolf, she’s fully aware that ever since Alan finished going through puberty; I’ve had kind of a crush on him. Though, I never took the initiative to carry out on these impulses; being how I knew that Helena was already arranged to be his wife … and, also because of that; I never bothered mentioning that to Rhi.
But now, she’s gone and done it; yet again. She’s crossed the line between us sisters. Not necessarily with me; since I had no claim on Alan … although, admittedly, it does sting a little … but, first with Pomona; by having sex with Casper Whitmore …
… Okay sure, maybe I also had sex with him; but, at least, I had no idea who he was when I was doing it …
And now, she’s admitted that she’s just had sex with Alan; whom Helena’s supposed to marry, in about four months.
“Rhi; what’s gotten into you? I can’t believe what you’re doing.”
“What do you mean, you can’t believe what I’m doing … what am I doing?”
“What do you mean, what do I mean? Come on, Rhi; everyone’s still upset with us having sex with Casper Whitmore, a few days ago … and, now you’re telling me that you’ve just got back from having sex with Alan. What the hell; Rhi?”
“What; you’re telling me that you’ve suddenly changed your belief … the same belief that the two of us have shared for years … and; now you’re saying that a girl shouldn’t go out and get some dick when she’s in the mood for it?”
“No, Rhi; that’s not what I’m saying. Feel free to go out and get all the dicks that you want … except those dicks reserved for your sisters.”
Rhiana’s staring at me now, with a perplexed expression on her face; looking as if I’m spouting some dogmatic rhetoric, while trying to persecute her.
“What’s wrong with you; Rai? You asked me what’s gotten into me; but, I think I’m the one who should be asking you that … what’s gotten into you?”
“Me? … I’m not the one who’s been trying to steal her sisters’ husbands away.”
Rhiana defensively snaps at me…
“What the fuck are saying; Rai?! … First of all, they aren’t their husbands, yet; they’re just prospective husbands of arranged marriages that our sisters are being forced into. Neither Helena or Pomona wanted to be married to them in the first place.
So; how is that ‘stealing’ … how do you steal something that no one wanted in the first place? No … if you ask me; I’m just doing them a favor by offering to step in, and marry a wolf that they don’t want to be with.”
“No; you mean you’re just trying to cover your own ass. … You got yourself pregnant, trying to take Casper Whitmore away from Pomona; and, make him your husband. But; when Dad refused to let you take Pomona’s place in the arranged marriage … and, you found out Casper Whitmore doesn’t want any more kids; so, he’d probably turn you down anyway…
Now, you’re trying to do the same thing with Alan; and, trap him into marrying you, by saying that your pregnant with his child. So now, you’re trying to take Helena’s husband-to-be away; but, this time, it’s more underhanded than the first … because, Alan really isn’t the father of your baby.”
Rhiana’s seething, now; glaring at me with piercing eyes. … Still; I refuse to let up…
“Tell me something, Rhi; what happens if Alan refuses to marry you … then, what?”
“Simple … then, I’ll go ahead and marry Walter Burns; just like Dad and Alpha Gordon wants one of us to do. … In fact, right before fucking Alan; I ran into them leaving Alpha Gordon’s home, and they asked me if we decided which one of us was going to marry Walter.”
“And; what did you tell them?”
“Honestly … for a split second … I was about to tell them that you were going to marry him. But … like you said … the thought of my plan to get Alan to marry me somehow failing made me decide to keep my options open … so; I told them we haven’t decided yet.”
Upset with her selfish, ‘devil-may-care’ attitude; I flippantly quip, “My; aren’t you the clever one.”
Rhiana smirks. “You know what … I might have thanked you for saying that; if I didn’t happen to hear the evident sarcasm in your tone.”
I shrug my shoulders. “Suit yourself; whatever makes you happy. I mean; that’s what you seem to be doing anyway, these days … doing whatever makes you happy; even if it hurts others.”
Her smirk is quickly replaced with a scowl…
“What the fuck; Rai … it’s like I said; I’m just trying to do them a favor. … When you think about it; I’m doing you a favor, too.”
“Really? And, how’s that?”
“It’s obvious. When I marry Alan, that means not only doesn’t Helena have to marry him; but, then she can marry Walter … and, you won’t be forced to marry him.”
