Rain
Numbers frowned in confusion "your mother?" I gulped and slowly turned my head to look at Shadow, his eyes were closed and he was looking away while his jaw was set and his breathing was heavy. Judging his reaction, I knew I was right. Tears started streaming down my face and my lips quivered "oh my God, my biological father is a… a werewolf" I covered my face and started to laugh as tears continued to run down my face, I laughed hysterically and shook my head "my father is a werewolf, what are the chances" then I laughed again and held my tummy as it started to hurt, when I bent down slightly, Shadow reached out for me "hey, hey, calm down", Numbers tried to reach out for me as well, but then a snarl pierced the air and in a flash, Darious was standing in front of me while his back was turned to me.
"what the fuck is going on here?!" he yelled at Numbers and Shadow, Numbers sighed and rubbed his face while shadow looked away and clenched his teeth, Darious snarled and moved to attack but I reached out and grabbed his shoulder "Darious, it's ok-" he turned around to face me "no it's not, if it was ok you wouldn't be crying, did they try to hurt you?" I shook my head and fresh tears started to roll down my cheeks "I just learned that Shadow is my father- my real father" , Darious scoffed "yeah right, and I'm your aunt", if it was a different situation, I would've laughed, but I shook my head again and put a hand on my forehead "I can't believe it either, oh my God" I sat down and held my head between my hands, it was like a wave of overthinking struck me, my mind stormed with the thoughts and memories of my mother, all the happy and sad ones, I remembered when I used to see her standing in front of the window in the middle of the night, staring outside the window, here eyes were searching- now I know what they were searching for, now I know who it was.
I looked up at Shadow, his eyes were fixed on Daruious who was still standing in front of me in defence, I looked at Numbers who was staring at me with eyes filled with sympathy, I wiped my tears, a sudden feeling of responsibility hit me, and I knew that the conversation that I need to have with Shadow is going to have to wait until after Cedric and Zevrus are back home safe and sound. I touched Darious' leg gently , he looked down at me with a raised brow "help me stand up, please". His eyes softened and he reached his hand for me to take.
Shadow cleared his throat "Rain, I-" I raised my hand to stop him "please, I understand that you are as confused as I am, but right now we need to go through our mission- we can sit and talk as much as we want once our alpha and beta are back" he closed his mouth and nodded. I looked at Darious "thank you for your concern Darious, you can go back now" he raised his brows "wow, you sound like my grandma" I tried to glare at him miserably but eventually I couldn't help but let out a small laugh and then sniff, Darious was Darious- the only person who could make me laugh in serious situations. "I'm not going anywhere sweetcheeks, I'm coming with you" I turned serious "no way, you are not putting your life on the line for me or for anyone else, go back now Darious!" he scowled "Geez, what's with the attitude? not cool, but still I'm not going nowhere" I stared at him in anger, when I saw that he wasn't backing down I let out a frustrated growl then turned around and stomped away from him, I heard him laugh lightly "that growl was cute" I couldn't help the smile that tugged my lips.
After what felt like an hour, we reached our destination and crouched down behind the bushes. My eyes roamed around as I took in the huge building, guards and security were everywhere , I noticed the cameras planted all over the place, at every corner and every door- there goes my plan to sneak in. I sighed and closed my eyes, Darious crept closer to me and whispered " we're here, now what?" I looked down at my feet, I was still carrying my heels in my hand and my feet were covered in mud and leaves "I need to wash my feet and try to freshen up" he nodded and looked around "ok, then what?" I gulped "then I'm going to use my fake Identity to get inside, Darious, Shadow and Numbers went silent, I could see the concern and fear in their eyes, it wasn't helping me, but one of as had to inspire the others, I smiled at them "it's going to be fine, I promise." Shadow shook his head "don't ever give promises that can't keep", his words hit me so hard, I pretended that they didn't affect me- but instead of retorting, I kept quiet and crawled after Darious to a main source of water.
After finding a small pond and washing my face and feet, I put on my heels and combed my fingers through my hair. AS I turned to go to the main entrance, Darious grabbed my wrist, I turned to face him with a warm smile, but his face was serious, and I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes. "Please, try to keep the promise you made. Everyone that I loved went through those doors and never came back- please don't be one of them" my heart clenched and I felt tears well up in my eyes, but I blinked them away and hugged Darious tightly "I love you so much, Dee. I promise I'll be fine" he hugged me back quietly.
taking a deep breath, I nodded at Numbers who wished me good luck, then at Shadow who nodded back quietly, and then I walked towards the guards at the main entrance, instantly they started to search me- taping my shoulders, arms, chest, tummy and legs "all clear". the guard nodded at me "name and profession" I tipped my chin " Tara Williams- researcher" he cocked his head "how come this is the first time I see you here?" I gulped "I transferred here two days ago" He studied me with squinted eyes, after a few seconds he took a step closer to me "secret word?" I shuddered "w-what?" he glared at me "secret word!" I wrecked my head for a possible word, then it hit me "there is no secret word" he smirked and lifted his walkie talkie "all clear, let her in". I nodded at him as I passed and he nodded back but still studied me doubtedly.
I shuddered and took a few deep breaths, I got this, I'm inside. I was approached by a guy wearing a white robe and I knew he was a researcher "good morning, I hear you are the new researcher transferred here" I gulped and shook his head nervously "I am." he nodded "good, please come with me to the labs, we received two new specimens two days ago and they are very interesting" I percked up "they?" he nodded and smiled "two werewolves, have you worked with these before?" I smiled "of course".
We headed to a lower level where I could see others working with different chemicals and strange things, my eyes landed on a huge hand with razor sharp claws , it was cut and laid out on a table to be autopsied, I shivered "uhm, whose hand is this? I mean does it belong to one of the new specimens?" He looked up from his ipad at the hand, then back at me "oh, no that's from an older one", I sighed in release. He raised his hand to shake mine again "I haven't introduced myself properly- I'm Kevin" , I smiled at him and then as I shook his hand I made the biggest mistake "I'm Rain" , at that moment Kevin was confused , but before be could say anything - two large hands caught my wrists and cuffed them together from behind, a deep voice said "gotcha!".
