TWO DAYS LATER
It’s a bright beautiful morning, and I woke up quite normal. It’s been two days now… two days since Rex took me from Brooks park. I laid on the bed, yawning lazily on it as the events of the last few days replayed in my head.
I feel sorry for the people that were rescued and those that were not.
The first voice I heard this morning was that of Rex. He seem to be in a conversation with someone. I didn’t have to strain my ears to hear what they are saying, all thanks to my werewolf heightened senses.
“I don’t give a damn, okay. They are not my business, and besides; they would go other places they want to go” I heard Rex telling the person.
Although, I was still laying on the bed, I could hear him loud and clear, but did as if I heard nothing. I stayed put and didn’t even try to turn or make any move till they were out.
Guess they went out; and it seems he – Rex; won’t be around this morning.
Since he wasn’t around, I decided to sneak out of his room, and that’s exactly what I did. I got out and walked out. The stares and gaze I got from people from every where I pass was making me a bit scared.
I didnt understand the gaze and all, and although I dont want to read meaning to it, I just couldn’t help but to; and it made me a little scared
I left there immediately and rushed to the Park hospital to find Arenza and some other girl I met at the wood.
‘Poor Nora’ Ashina muttered.
I walked in and paused when I overheard Alaric saying that Nora is pregnant which made it made seven rescued girls pregnant. I stayed hidden but now for long; because I suddenly heard Rex’s voice.
‘Shit is about to go down’.
‘Come out of your hiding. I can perceive you, so stop hiding: he mind linked me.
I sighed and came out of my hiding place, going to stand in a place they can see me. I stood and watched as Rex approached me. He came to where am standing and suddenly pulled me close to him and it was after all sweet, which I feel was a little strange
Who am I kidding??
Of course it’s strange; he hasn’t been so sweet to me before until I got missing. He pulled me closer and took his mouth to my ears, whispering to it
“I would not forgive myself to leave 25 kidnapped girls, both human and werewolves to suffer in the Brook’s cave” he whispered to my ear.
I managed to pull out of his grip, and turned to face him .
“Where’s Camille?” I asked softly, but instead of a response, I noticed he became tensed.
He pulled away from me and backed me.
“You don’t really matter that much, so you’ll go away from here as soon as you get well” he said, and as soon as he said that, I got locked up instantly
Shortly after, Hawk walked in. He walked to Rex and stood close to him.
“My mate is doing fine and does not have any sign of being attacked since two days” He said immediately
He took few steps away from Rex, backing him in the process
” What did you give to me?” he asked Rex, with a mild grunt.
Rex kept mute.
” Is what am thinking really true?” he went further, but Rex still didnt reply and so he decided to go on
” I feel Rain is a lycan, and Please don’t lie about it, because the rumor is all over the park” he groaned
Rex smiled and turned to Hawk
” Yeah, she is, and I really admire that about her. I admire the fact she’s really a lycan, the last of her kind; and am also scared people would want to kidnap her if they get to know” he said plainly, his eyes and face void of emotion
What the…??
Oh, no!! I can’t believe this right bow…
So… so, it’s true after all. I’m really a lycan – am one after all.
My mind suddenly went back to the time Brook has called me a lycan; remembering it made me so mad and pissed at Rex.
“Rex, why? Why, didn’t you tell me all this while” I growled at him, the pain evident in my tone and gaze.
He heaved deeply and walked to me.
” I’m… I’m so sorry Rain. Yeah, I should have and am so sorry for not telling you. That was so stupid of me” he apologized, his voice held so much raucour and uncertainty in them.
He pleaded and apologize before bringing me closer to hug him. I didn’t nothing to resist, as I willingly allowed him wrap his arms around me.
“We have another slight problem” we heard another voice behind us
We turned after disengaging from the hug, to see it’s Alaric.

Rex, Hawk and I followed doctor Alaric to meet Nora.
She is chained to the iron bed she slept on and there was also something over hee nose.
” The cloth is soaked with a very strong chemical, and if it’s taken off, then she’ll wake up” Alaric said, as if reading my mind
“She… she is my friend, and we helped eachother” I said, when I finally found my voice, referring to the incident int he cave.
My breathe rattled as I watch her lay on that bed helplessly.
I attempted to go meet her and help her but was held back by Rex.
I turned to look at the place he held, before taking my gaze back to his face.
” She’s an hybrid and also my mate” Alaric said, making me shift back my attention to him.
He sighed and the next thing he did was very shocking
He went on his knees immediately, his tears filled with unshed tears and his both palms placed together.
” Please, please Rex; abolish the rules of no vampires in the park” he begged frantically
” Why did you lock her up, and to sleep?” Rex asked, ignoring his pleads and begging.
Alaric shut his eyes tight, thinking for a while. He reopened then and was still unable to answer Rex’s question
After waiting for few minutes and he still couldn’t answer, Rex then spoke up
” Make sure she does not leave that bed” Rex told him and left
I looked on in confusion and dispair,.
Rex came to me and dragged me by the arm, making kw go with him
” Believe me Rex, Nora’s a good person” I whined after him, but he still paid deaf ears.
What’s the problem with him anyway?
He’s sure acting like an asshole right now.
” I swear she is, and even if you don’t save her now or do anything about it, her mate can still control her” I said, my heart thumping hard against my chest
He’s just so stubborn!! He walked Ahead still, making me wonder if he’s even hearing what am saying
Frustrated and out of ideas on how to make him listen to me, I ran to his front making him halt.
He took his gaze to me, and I couldn’t help but stare at his hollow eyes and his brows narrowly caressing the top of his forehead in a confused state
” She’s a nice person Rex; you have to believe me. She really is. She helped me escape being raped by Brook, believe it or no, she’s not as bad as you think and to even….” I tried to explain to him, but he groaned softly and shoved me put of the way, forging ahead to the door.
I half ran to catch up with his heavy and quick steps and got him close to the door, and just when we were about to get out the door, we heard noise behind us
I took my eyes from him to where the noise was coming from, and gasped immediately at the sight before me.
My eyes widened in shock and disbelief. I can’t say what it was for Rex also, bit I could tell he was shocked and stunned to say the least
Before us was a weak Nora which have been trying to paint good in front of Rex; sucking on Alaric and drawing blood out from him, like the tasty bloodsucking godforsaken girl that she is.
I took my eyes from her to Alaric and he gave us a reassured smile that he’s fine. A fake smile.
Oh, my!!
” I’ll send people to come take her immediately” Rex said, referring to Nora. His tone held no emotion whatsoever, and his face was neutral void.
” No Rex, no. You have to believe me; She’s a really good person, she is. You just have to believe” I cried and wailed but it all fell on deaf ears
Even if he was gonna fall for it, seeing this would totally erase any good thing he would have thought about her – Nora; from his mind
I cried even more and he had no choice than to carry me out when I tried to go – amidst cries and wails, telling him that Nora is a good person.
