Chapter sixty seven

“Wren?” I needed to confirm if he was the one because if it was him, he looked so different. Wren is now really muscular and his hair colour now a very dark shade of brown.

“Yes” The person I now confirmed to be wren answered.

“Wow, you look so different” I said with a smile on my face. My worries already forgotten.

“Is this your mate?” He asked. I stared at him, in shock. He knows who Lucian is so why was he asking? I asked myself.

“Yes. This is Lucian” I introduced.

“Get out of the car love. I need to hug you” Still so excited and oblivious to Lucian’s reaction to all of this I opened the door and got down. Wren kissed my cheeks causing my face to heat up. There was a time I wanted badly for him to kiss me but now I have Lucian and I love him.

“If you don’t mind we need to hurry and leave as soon as possible.

“Sorry” I mumbled holding unto Wren’s hand as we chatted and told each other things we needed to.

“I hope he is treating you right?” He asked on our way to the pack house where the Alpha family stays.

“Yes. He’s the best” I replied.

“Alpha” I bowed as soon as I sensed Wren’s brother.

“She came to see me” Wren answered with excitement in his voice.

I noticed Lucian’s hand wrapped around me holding me rather too tightly but I didn’t want to say anything.

“I thought this was over. Don’t tell you are not over her” Logan, Wren’s brother gave me a look of disgusted. Wren has interest in me?

“Ow” I winched in pain when I felt Lucian’s claw dig deep in my side.

“So sorry. I didn’t realize” He apologized moving to touch when he had just hurt me. I moved away from him.

“No, no. it’s fine” I forced a smile and turned to Wren.

“It was nice seeing you again Wren but I think Lucian and I need to leave now” I lied. The whole visit was really weird now after what Alpha Logan said. Lucian’s attitude has been opposite of every support he rendered before we got here. I should have known he wasn’t fine with this visit.

“It was nice seeing you again Raina. I hope we meet again” Wren hugged me and just when I turned away to leave with angry looking Lucian, Wren pulled me back and pecked my lips. I stood still dumfounded and unable to react. Before I could talk Lucian lunged at him and threw him on the ground.

“Stop it!” I screamed at Lucian. He looked up and stared into my eyes with so much hate in his.

“This is so stupid” I murmured but I heard him. He looked at me and said,

“Fucking liar!” He screamed at me spitting out blood from when Wren had punched his face. He left the packhouse angrily. I ran after him.

“Listen to me Lucian!. Lucian!” I kept screaming at him as he walked to the car.

“Fucking listen Lucian!” I screamed.

“I don’t want to hear any more lies” He said, his voice sounding so calm.

“I swear nothing happened. It was nothing! Nothing ever happened” I tried to explain but he just scoffed and got in to start the engine of the car. I had no choice but to enter the car.

“Lucian” I called trying to get him to listen to me but he ignored me as he drove out of the SILVER BLOOD.

“I don’t know why he did that” I defended myself. I honestly don’t know why Wren did that. He knew I was marked by an Alpha. Only if he intentionally make him angry, but why?

“Yeah. Of course” He scoffed again. I took deep breaths before I started again.

“Stop the car Lucian”

He did not stop.

“I SAID STOP THE FUCKINGGG CARRRR” I screamed angrily at him. Lucian groaned loudly in pain as he brought both his hand to his ear to cover them. Before he could recover the car drove straight to a tree causing us me to hit my head.

I didn’t look at Lucian who seemed unconscious by the driver’s seat as I got down from the car and raced back to the packhouse. I met Wren outside which I was glad for.

“Why did you do that?” I inquired.

“I love you”

“Are you stupid? I have a mate I love. What the hell is wrong with you?”

“You’re in love with him?”

“That’s not important” His he stupid.

“It is Riana. You can’t love him. I love you. We had something going on. I was there for you_”

“As a friend would” I cut him off.

“I’m sorry you thought there was something going on with us Wren but no. I can’t have anything with you. I’m with Lucian. Please don’t do this. You have your own soulmate waiting to meet you.

“I want you only Raina” He held my hands and smashed his lips on mine. I held unto his right wrist with so much anger I knew was enough to burn him.

“Aahh” He screamed moving away from me. I was still holding on to his hands so he wasn’t so far from me.

“I want you to respect my relationship you ass”

“Stop that Lunatic!” I hear a very familiar voice scream at the pack warriors around us. How could I ever forget that voice that taunted me for over five years.

“Don’t move close Taryn” I warned.

“What the hell are you?!” Her expression horrified.

I saw her give the warriors a signal so I used my left hand to generate fire and causing them to step back.

“Raina. Stop!” I recognized the voice but I could not place who it was. My senses were clouded with so much hurt and anger that I could not understand what was happening to me. I threw who I was holding against a tree and stood up. I could still feel the fire coming from both my palms to the ground. My body was on fire, my eyes. I could feel the heat. I knew I was out of controlled and it scared me that I did not know how to stop myself. I don’t have Lucy here with me to help me gain my control back.

“Raina please stop. You’re going to hurt yourself” I closed my eyes and kept my mind on the first kiss I had with Lucian. This seemed to help me so I continued to think of all the good memories I have with him.

I opened my eyes and got to meet face to face to what I am now. The damage I caused and the fear in the eyes of people around me was the last thing I saw before I passed out.

“What the hell happened to both of you” Jack asked holding me.

“He happened” I glared at Lucian

“You don’t have the energy for that”

“Don’t tell me what to do” I snapped at him.

“I’m not.” He sounded irritated.

“Why don’t you believe me?” I knew he understood the question because he stiffened and looked away from me. This time Lucy walked in with Ri.

“You fucking kissed him!” Everybody gasped making me angry.

“Liar. He kissed me and I didn’t even kiss him back” I defended myself.

“You did not stop him either” He argued.

“I was in shock you fool” I was really angry he was so jealous he didn’t even want to see what exactly happened.

“Don’t call me names” He said in a warning tone.

“That’s it!” Jack announced with a firm voice catching our attention.

“What the hell happened out there?” Lucy asked.

“Wren kissed me and I hinted I cheated”

“He cheated right in front of me!” Lucian and I said at the same time.

“Once person at a time guys. I can’t listen to you both at the same time” Ri complained.

Lucian and I continued screaming at each other while the others just stood there staring at us unable to do anything.

“I don’t want you seeing him again. He’s in love with you and he did not even respect my presence”

“I wasn’t planning on it but don’t tell me what to do”

“You really got out of control huh?”

“Not time to make jokes. What happened out there?” Lucy asked.

“You tell them” Lucian said when I turned to him.

“We went to my old pack because I wanted to meet an old friend and he kissed me” I explained.

“That doesn’t explain how you lost control though” Lucy expressed her disappointment.

“Well, it wasn’t my fault. Lucian didn’t believe I didn’t like him and when I asked him to stop the car and he didn’t answer I helped him” Lucy had a look of suspicion on her face

“By screaming at me making deaf” Lucian added.

“That wasn’t needed” I frowned.

“It was” I rolled my eyes and continued.

“I got out of the car as soon as he hit it against a tree and kinda burned part of their pack down when they tried to stop me from talking to Wren,

“Talking? You were burning his hand!”

“Hey! I’m the one telling the story!” I frowned.

“Just helping” He joked.

“Jokes aside now. We need to talk” I knew I was in for serious scolding so I excused myself and left with Lucy. She took us to the garden.

“What happened?” She asked as soon as we got to the place

“I just said the story_”

“You can’t lie to me” She stopped me from lying further.

“ok. Maybe we had a little going on. It was just and harmless crush”

“I’m not blaming you for anything nor am I I going to say anything to Lucian. Ok? I love you and I want you to know I’ll always have your back”

“Me too” I hugged her.

“Now back to what happened. What exactly got you so angry?”

“Looking back at it I really don’t know”

“Think Raina. You have to reflect. You lost control, it must not happen again”

“I was angry at myself that I made Lucian take me back there”

“He offered so I don’t see why that is your fault”

“I could have declined the offer. I knew he wasn’t happy with the letter and I should have known” Thinking back I realized, the letter gave it all away. I should have read between the lines.”

“But you didn’t You should not blame yourself for the actions of another man. None of these was your fault”

“But it kinda is” I argued.

“Why do you think so?” She asked.

“Well I should have reacted faster when I felt his lips on mine but instead I stood there and let Lucian think something was going on”

“And you don’t by any chance think that Lucian might have overreacted and Wren trying to split you two up?”

“Maybe” I shrugged.

“None of these was your fault. You are so fast to condemn yourself. Learn to treat yourself better”

“I do” I argued. I hated how right she was.

“Well try harder. You lost so much control today I can feel the decrease in power” She did not sound happy.

“I’m sorry I lost control. I could not help it. I had to make Wren realize I wasn’t happy with him”

“What happened to talking?”

“He wouldn’t listen and he tried to kiss me again”

“oh but you should be happy you were able to regain control” She praised.

“At what expense? What if I kill people?” I asked.

“You won’t because you stronger than you think”

“I’m so scared of what is in me”

“Don’t me. You own it and not otherwise. You get to control how far it goes”

“I guess. When I realized I was out of control I helped myself regain the control once again. I can do this” I suddenly felt a rush of happiness and excitement.

“That’s it love. What helped you”

“Lucian” I answered with a shy smile.

“You love him don’t you?”

“I do” I answered truthfully.

“Have you told him this?” She asked. I nodded, left to right telling her no.

“You should”
