I laid down, pulled her into my arms, and inhaled her scent. Soothing calmness washed over me, and I smiled slightly. The effect my snowflake had on me was beyond amazing. I was glad I had her. Despite the painful hard-ons I was constantly inflicted with, she was still my perfect little kitten.

The following day, everything seemed to have changed. A deep sense of foreboding twisted in my guts, and I felt on edge. I could hear Maria’s anguished cries and Papa Raf trying to calm her down. Although Rayhan couldn’t hear her through the walls, he knew something was wrong. I just told him his mom was upset. It hurt to hear the pain and anger she was feeling, yet at the same time, her pain seemed to outshine her anger.
He had filled me in on the plans about us leaving, and I quickly started packing. I thought we all just needed a break from one another, especially with the Luna’s emotional state. While Rayhan had gone to handle some stuff, I hurried to Raihana’s room. We needed to talk.
“Come in,” she said. I opened the door and stepped inside. I was instantly wrapped in a tight hug. “I’m so sorry, Del.”
“Don’t be,” I said, smiling slightly.
Looking around her room, I saw that it was a mess. She was packing, but unlike my one suitcase for both Rayhan and me, she was packing five… no wait, seven… Okay, wow…
“I’m sorry, I’m just trying to get all my packing finished. I don’t know when I’m coming back... Dad said I might be staying until the Blood Moon…” she whispered. Although she tried to sound fine, I could sense the pain in her voice.
“Oh, Ri…” I gave her hand a gentle squeeze before sitting down on the bed and beginning to fold her clothes into the open suitcase.
“That spell I did last night... it was hers, wasn’t it?” she asked quietly. I tensed, sighing and nodding. I looked up at her.
“We need to tell Rayhan and your uncle. I haven’t told anyone this, but... I contacted Endora to seek the answers to break the spell on my powers. She said if I killed her three sons, she would tell me. I obviously refused, but Raihana… I think last night, she took advantage of your emotional state for her own revenge. I am going to try to track down a lone witch by the name of Janaina after we return from the Sangue Pack. We both need all the help we can get. I feel like something bad is coming… but… I don’t know…”
“What do you mean, something bad?” she whispered, her eyes filling with worry.
“I don’t know… I just feel like this is the calm before the storm.” I looked out where the sun was shining and then back at her. She stood frozen, concern clear on her face.
“Is it the witches?” she asked. I shrugged. I had no idea…
“Then we should tell Rayhan?” she asked.
“We need to. One thing I know, despite having lived alone all my life, is that we are stronger as a pack.” I gave her a wry smile. She laughed despite the situation and nodded.
“True, we can’t keep secrets. Who would think you’re not a wolf.” I smiled slightly.
“I agree. I’m a wolf in disguise.”
She laughed, and I returned to folding her clothes. The unease that had filled me since the morning still remained, settled deep within me. Looking up, I stared out of the window, unseeing. What was it?
We were juststanding outside as Chris and Rayhan filled the car with Raihana’s stuff. Her guard was going to drive the second car with all the luggage.
“So, take care of Ray Ray for us.” Lola smirked, and I blushed.
They weren’t dropping it and called him Ray Ray Yum Yum every chance they got. Although I knew it annoyed him at times by the pouts that crossed that gorgeous face of his, he didn’t say much. I felt bad since I was the one to start that in my drunken state.
“I will,” I said, giving her a hug before meeting Rose.
“Take care of yourselves,” she said as we all walked over to the car.
I was glad Chris and Rayhan had made up, somewhat anyway. I couldn’t sense the tension between them anymore. He gave me a smirk and walked over to me.
“Well, good luck on your mission,” Chris said, winking at me before holding his hand out.
I smiled and took it. I knew he was careful when it came to me, knowing I hated male werewolves, but that was changing. Bravely, I stepped forward and wrapped my arms awkwardly around his waist.
“Thanks,” I said, about to move back when he hugged me back with a small smirk.
We separated, and Chris glanced at Raihana, who was pretending to be busy on her phone. She would have done a pretty good job if her heart wasn’t thundering. Her emotions were in turmoil. I guessed there was still a lot they needed to sort out.
