Darious
"what the FUCK do you mean I can't go in?", I glare at the wolf blocking me from entering the main house, he shrugs "sorry man, alpha's orders", an unamused chuckle escaped my mouth as I look down and shake my head "I should've know, Cyprus never stood me, this is his revenge", the wolf in front of me gives me a puzzled look, I turn serious again and try to shove him aside as I attempt for the third time to get inside and check on Rain, "h- hey!" the guy starts to push me back, but then the familiar asshole's voice comes up "Darious !", I step back from the wolf as I keep glaring at him, the wolf breaks the stare and nods to his alpha, "a-alpha, I told him he can't go inside, but he won't back off", I scoff and look at Cyprus "what kind of a stupid order is that?", Cyprus gives me a nonchalant look and says "Rain is too tired to see anyone right now", I put my hands on my hips "I don't think she would mind if her friend visited her", Cyprus' face turns into an annoyed one, he looks at the wolf in front of me and gives him an order to leave us alone.
The second we are alone, Cyprus steps forwards and grabs me by the collar of my shirt, he speaks through gritted teeth "listen you idiot, try to get the next words through your thick skull, Rain is in heat, it started since yesterday, and we can't afford letting anyone near her", I narrow my eyes at him "we? as in you and who else?", I yank his hands off of my shirt and cross my arms, he pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs "I knew you wouldn't focus on the important thing, WE as in Cedric, Zevrus and I", I nod and hum " and how did you know Rain is in heat?", I stare at him and I swear I could see a light shade of pink on the top of his cheeks "I was with her, she called me to congratulate me, and I noticed all the signs", I grin wickedly "looks like somebody likes his luna a little too much ",Cyprus growls "don't you dare insult her or me in any way, this is serious Darious, you have to keep your ass away from her for the next few days" I frown, "the next few days? ``How long do you mean?"another voice comes up from behind me "for as long as it takes for her heat to pass", I turn my head to look at Zevrus who's approaching us, he shakes my hand "how have you been?", I give him a curt nod "fine", he frowns slightly "I can see you're pissed, and I understand why", I give him another curt nod in response, he looks past me towards Cyprus "it's ok, I'll talk to Darious about this situation", I raise a brow and look at Cyprus who gives me a once over then turns and walks away.
I scoff and shake my head as I stick my thumb back towards Cyprus' direction "of all the wise decisions you guys have always made, this one isn't exactly the smartest", Zevrus laughs and pats my shoulder "I trust Cedric's decisions, and you need to do just that", I sigh and roll my eyes "whatever man".
Rain
I open my eyes slowly, then blink, my head hurts and I groan as I sit up, "you're awake" , I gasp and whip my head towards Cedric who is setting in a chair close to the bed, I huff a small laugh and put a hand on my chest "you startled me", he smiles at me lazily "how are feeling?", at that moment , all the memories of the pain and Zevrus rush back to my head and I blush crimson red, Cedric notices that I'm uncomfortable and he frowns "don't be shy, this is all natural", I close my eyes and shake my head slowly "this never happened to me before" he nods "that's because you didn't have werewolf blood running in your veins before", I sigh "I don't remember anything about the experiment", Cedric stands up from the chair then comes to sit beside me on the bed, he holds my hand in his and looks into my eyes "it's better that way, trust me", I study his eyes "was it painful?" He shakes his head "no, but it wasn't pleasant either, I've been there before, but the horrible things I see each time, they manage to affect me badly". He trails off for a few seconds, and I could see the sadness in his eyes, I touch his cheek and smile warmly at him, "it's ok, we're here now" he smiles back then caresses my hair "do you want to know what's happening to your body now that you have werewolf blood?" I nod eagerly "yes please".
Cedric explains to me about the heat issue, he says it lasts a week,and if I don't get pregnant, I will have my regular period a week after, I blush deeply at the sensitive subject, the last thing that I could think of is discussing my period with Cedric. He says that the pain I felt is a natural signal that my body gives me to alarm me about the beginning of my heat, "you are to be here as long as you're in heat, you can't risk going outside" I frown "why is that?" He sighs "Rain, you need to remember that we are only half humans, there is also the animal side of us, which acts according to instinct, and when a werewolf smells a female in heat, he will mate with her" I process his words but then I shrug "well, I can always say no'', Cedric snorted "well, you can, but even if you say no, they will mate with you forcibly", I gulp and stare at him wide eyed, he presses his lips ``sorry baby, did not mean to scare you, but I had to put in the picture so that you'd be careful", I don't say another word. But then Cedric decides to change the subject "so, how are you doing with the rest of the pack? Formed any new friendships yet?". I rubbed my face "no" and then I remember something, Cedric notices my realization face and and searches my eyes "what? What is it?" I lock eyes with him "where's Shadow?" He frown "Shadow, why all of a sudden?" , I close my eyes and sigh "Cedric, Shadow is my father
