CHELSIE I couldn’t stop myself from stealing glances as Rain drives towards the Moonstone River pack. He still looked pissed off that he had to accept the invitation of alliance, but he didn’t say anything else other than occasional grunts of annoyance. I lost the chance to check on the young alpha who went for healing after I left the child to Rain’s care, but I knew he could talk to him better than I could ever do. It never crossed my mind that they would bring a person like that to me, but the very words I said to comfort him cut deep inside me at the same time. It’s been years since my parents died, but suddenly, it felt like it just happened yesterday. The wound felt so raw and new, so much so that I was slightly terrified that Rain would snap at me right after the visitors left.
