Ariel lies on Dev's chest, as she cannot believe what she just did, she never knew it was in her to actually ask Dev to mate, trusting her heart once again and being with Dev.

"What are you thinking?" Dev asks her pulling her head up to look at her face.

"Just that why did you not do it?" she asks him.

"Mate you? Simple, because we both know that is a huge step we both are not ready to take. You still have the ghosts of your past lurking around and I know if we happen to do anything past kissing and snuggling you would freak out...

I...because I do not want you to do it to please me and because you still are haunted by your past. Let us just enjoy being together for a while, if it makes you feel uneasy then I can mark you," he suggests but she just shakes her head no.

"I don't think that is a bright idea" Ariel shakes her head no, shivering a bit thinking of someone sinking their teeth into her skin.

"Hey, don't think about it, please," Dev whispers, holding her tight to him

"Dev, what happens if you find your mate?" she asks him suddenly.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but you are it for me Air. One day may be I can explain it all to you, but don't ask anything about it now" he sighs regretfully.

"Okay, I just don't want to be the only one to fall in this all alone"

"Don't worry, I have fallen too deep in this way before you did" he confesses kissing her hair.

"It's good to hear it" she smiles before getting up slightly.

"Oh I forgot to ask, but how come you are here and for so long? I mean you did say you would be gone for a while...

So, what happened?" she asks him slightly tilting her head to the side.

"Well, I did have to go for a while but now I am back. I don't think I will leave anytime" he smiles before pushing her head back onto his chest.

"Oh well"

Dev sighs as he keeps a hold on her staring at the ceiling as his head runs mile a minute.

"What are you two doing?" Dante asks as he walks inside the conference hall to find Ethan along with Enzo.

"We were just checking on few things about where Eric could have run off to. Matching information up" Enzo replies while Dante takes a seat and puts his legs on the table humming.

"Why is it so hard to hunt him down anyway?" he murmurs twisting the ring on his finger.

"We will find him soon, I have alerted everyone so every eye is searching for him and we will find him soon"

"Do that, as I cannot keep my eye on the boy got my own shit going on" Dante nods.

"So, heard there was a bit of chaos on going with Chris, is it all good?" Ethan asks curiously.

"Yes no one is hurt, it's a good thing no one was hurt and we got the footage of everything as well as it seems the by standers were taken care of" he answers rubbing his jaw.

"If that so then why do you seem tensed, is it something to do with Chris?" Enzo asks watching his carefully.

"No, I asked Connor to let one of us train his son to control his powers and he will answer us soon...

Chris is not the one I am worried about, it's my own son actually"

"Why, what happened?" both Ethan and Enzo watches him curiously.

"I can't reach him, actually"

"So, what's there to worry about?" Enzo asks.

Before he could answer, Rom barges in the room fuming in anger.

"What is it with you now?" Ethan asks as he can see the gas pouring out of his ears in anger.

"I think if I had stayed in for a few more seconds I would have killed her"

"Who?"

"Who else that idiot Rain, do you know she screamed at me instead when I asked about the money...

If it was anyone else in her place they would not be able to take their next breath," he state angrily.

"What am I missing in here, fill me in? You know I don't like to be the last one to know about things especially regarding her," Dante asks lazily.

"Whatever it is, you won't like it," Rom grumbles as he takes a seat and gulps the glass of water in front of him.

"Why, did she finally find out she is a girl or did she succeed in seducing the men in the faculty?" Dante asks amused.

"Worst than that, she spent ten million without asking anyone"

"Ah"

"What do you mean by Ah?" Rom asks in disbelief as he thought Dante would go on rampage as he heard it.

"It's just ten million, not even a dent in any of our accounts not worthy news she has done a lot more bad things in here...

Like, not thinking I am her god" Dante replies

"It's not about the accounts getting a dent Dante, she has been MIA, leaving the grounds without anyone's permission as well as giving herself a vacation without letting us know,...

Moreover, she was the last person to meet Eric" now this definitely made Dante react.

"How the hell did she meet him?"

"Not just her but Erika and remember the girl Advin and Jasmine has been searching for it's our little Rain"

"The fuck is she doing?" he asks looking around at them.

"No idea, she won't say why"

"I think I made it all clear for her that if she wants to be in here no one has to know about her existence and now here she is parading herself around?" Dante asks looking at them incredulously.

"No one knows her real identity" Enzo speaks to lighten the mood.

"That's not the point," Dante shouts in anger before he orders them to connect her on line.

*******

"What the fuck do you think you are doing you ugly duckling?" Dante asks as soon as the call is connected.

"Shitting right now, why want to join?" she asks him bored.

"Who the fuck gave you the permission to go out of the faculty without anyone's permission...

Who the fuck was stupid enough to do so?"

"Who else, we all know there is only one stupid in this whole world, you"

"Me, when did I gave you the fucking permission" Dante asks dumbstruck.

"You told me I can get anything for my birthday and when I said I wanted a vacation you said yes" she answer and all of the men raises a brow Dante's way who clears his throat before he glares at the phone in front of him.

"Okay, then what about summer's pack?"

"What about it, I was never there; Rom said it will be taken care of"

"Then what about the ten fucking million you spent?"

"Who goes on vacation without money and if I remember Rom he, himself gave me the permission to use the card if I needed anything I can use it after I am done paying for the cargo" she answers and now all eyes turn toward Rom who smiles sheepishly.

"Rain, I heard you were not fine is everything okay?" Enzo asks taking the chance.

"Don't worry I just tripped and fell into some feelings, I am ok now. I brushed that shit off" she replies before disconnecting the line.

"Huh...what's wrong with her?" Dante asks looking around once again as it was not their Rain to act like that and answer straight.

"I don't know" Rom shrugs his shoulders.

"She didn't throw even one insult my way," Dante murmurs

"Ethan, can you check and see where exactly was she for the past two months as well as what feelings she tripped on, it looks she is hurt from her fall down" Dante orders as he still stares at the phone.

*******

Dante's phone rings making him stop what he is doing before he picks up the call.

"Miss me already, grandpa" Dante teases as he picks up the call.

"Shut up, I just called to tell you that I give in and you won" Adrian sighs waving his teasing off.

"What did I win?" Dante asks confused, as he does not remembering betting anything.

"Your dream of our kids being together, Ariel and Devilin, it seems they have finally found something between them and want to be together...

Even if I was against it I gave them my blessing and so before you call to boast about it I called you to give you the news"

"Devilin and Ariel" Dante asks once again.

"Yes, them your son confessed his feeling about Ariel to me not just a few days ago, what did you not know? I mean I thought you knew about it and waiting for me to give in and call" Adrian states surprised he did not know.

"Wait, you mean Devilin was in your house a few days ago?" Dante asks to confirm

"Yes he was"

"And that he personally said he has feelings for Ariel?" he asks again.

"Yes that is what I am saying, why?" Adrian asks confused why he was saying it instead of shouting in joy.

"I will call you later" Dante speaks before he cuts the call.

Dante plays with the phone in his hand before dialing Ariel's number to confirm the news.

"Hey little Red" he smiles as soon as he hears her voice.

"So, what a surprise I got from your father when he told me, you and Devilin finally are together" he states hearing her reply.

"So, is my son with you?" when she says he is in bathroom he just nods.

"Okay, well I just called to check on you anyway after what happened between you and Chris I am sorry to have not checked on you before" he apologizes.

"So, I heard Dev was there to look out for you, but I must scold him on to not showcase his powers like that opening the portal recklessly for everyone to see" he continues.

"Ah did he now, did he say so himself?" Dante asks when she replies about how he freezes the time.

"No wonder, so, did he by chance erase everyone's memories as well?" Dante asks cheerfully when Ariel confirms it he says his goodbye before cutting the call.

*******

Adriana keeps rolling her chair around bored out of her mind as well as too lazy to do anything today. Her mind keeps replaying the scene she encountered few days ago in front of her mate's front door.

"Ya Rain" someone shouts from the intercom.

"Can you stop torturing us with that song? What the hell do you think you are doing, because of you all of the men woke up late today and it has caused an uproar"

The same voice shouts her way but she just ignores it and keeps rolling in her chair as the song 'Someone like you" keeps playing in the background for all the people inside the faculty to hear it.

"For fuck's sake get your shit together and change the track, do some work Rain and for god's sake spare us," one of the men once again shouts before begging her through the intercom.

"Work" Rain speaks as if remembering something.

"Yes, work, anything, do anything except sulking in your den. You must have emails to check, answer or calls to make, better go eat Rom or anyone else's brains but spare us" the man pleads to her as he cannot take anymore of the torturous heartbreaking songs.

"Oh shit, I need to check on something for Enzo," she remembers before shutting the song off as well as all sorts of communications from anyone for a while.

The men in the building all sigh in relief while Rain gets back to her work.

She pulls out the file on Eric as she once again goes to check on the footage she had even if it was nothing but white sound she tries to detect anything but comes up with nothing.

Sighing, her eyes lands on the folder on her desk, she frowns remembering what was in it, it was the reason why she left her work place and asked her ex-mate to come for dinner.

Moreover, here she was sulking because of him.

"Because of you, because of you" she grits through her teeth as she holds the disc inside the folder and eyes it before putting it in the drive and opening it.

With a heavy heart, she watches how her ex-mate interacts with his present mate while she was in her den sad and mad.

She sadly watches how he behaves with her making sure to cut her steak into small pieces so she could chew it easily, how he fusses on her glancing her way with a sweet smile every once in a while.

"Arghhh...I can't do this, I can't...why, why" she screams before pausing the video and closing her eyes.

After a while, she gathers her strength and goes through the torturous ride of seeing her ex-mate happy with his present mate.

"It's okay, you can do this. If you go through this the hurt will be lessen so when the time comes you do not have to worry about him...

Good, good you are doing a good job Rain, let's do this" she encourages herself before the climax of the scene begins and both of the males fly out of the window.

She goes to take out the next disc but stops as the video goes blank and she sees nothing but sound, white irritating noise.

"Huh...what the" she mutters as she rewinds the whole thing and once again she finds nothing but white noise.

With a sigh, she takes the disc out before putting the next one, which was from the CCTV that was from out of the restaurant.

She hums, as she gets nothing but white noise in it before the video begins and she finds none of them only the bystanders.

She once again checks on the footage and finds it repeatedly.

"Wait...could it be..." she stops before opening the systems inside the room and making a call.

*******

"Enzo, I will send you something can you verify it for me. I mean I do not want to jump to things in here but I think after seeing this we can get a few answers of what happened a few years ago...

How, Eric killed or did not kill those kids" Adriana speaks as soon as the call is connected.

"Okay" Enzo speaks as she e-mails him the footage.

After that Adriana waits for Enzo's call biting in her lip. She once again starts to roll around in her chair. She jumps in excitement as Enzo makes the call.

"Rain, what exactly do you want me to confirm I see nothing but hear a white noise on both the footages you sent me" he speaks.

"Right, so it's just not me right who hears nothing but white noise on both of the videos? Well, I checked the frequency on both of the videos and it's the same, exactly the same"

"So, what's the meaning of it?" he asks her confused.

"I sent you the edited part of the footage where the white noise begins, the first video or the sound you heard was from the time Eric was in the lab with those kids and the second one was from few days ago...

You may know that when Dante's kids went to the dinner something happened and it is at that time...

Both of the white noises have the same frequency which means that whatever happened we can solve it"

"I don't understand Rain"

"The white noise, Enzo, the white noise we need to find out what made that white noise, who or how...

If we find it out we will also know what happened in that lab ten years ago"

"Wait, you mean the white noise has some sort of connection?" Enzo asks her in doubt.

"Of course, those frequencies are the same, the white noises are the same, we need to find what occurred to make the white noise and then we will know what happened," she excitedly informs him.

"Rain; no one should know about this, as of now you are out of this case" Enzo orders halting her excitement.

"What?" Rain shouts in surprise.

"Do as you are told" he orders before cutting the call.

"What the hell?" Rain sighs as she stares at the computer in front of her.

A knock on her door makes her turn around; she frowns as she sees it is Ryan.

"What are you doing here?" she asks opening the lock on the door.

"Enzo sent me to collect everything you found" he smiles before without her permission he starts to collect the discs on the desk.

"Wait...no one touches my things" she whines shielding her computer.

"Okay, okay here, put everything in it please" Ryan once again smiles as he hands her the pen drive and she begrudgingly puts all the stuff she had on the case on it.

"I hope you remember what Enzo said to you," Ryan asks with a hint of warning in his voice.

"Yes, yes I do," she snaps as she opens the door asking him to leave.

"I was never here," Ryan states walking out.

"After everything I did, I don't even get a thank you," she mutters angrily.

"Oh Rain, thanks" Ryan chuckles before he finally leaves leaving her to fume.

"Die, Die you all" she screams at the top of her lungs before she plays 'Bad Blood' and once again the intercom blinks rapidly.

*******

Enzo stands watching or more like hearing the sound over and over again.

"What do we do now?" Rom asks as he looks from Enzo to Dante.

"This is the reason why I never wanted to be a council member," Enzo grits through his teeth in rage.

All of the men were together discussing on few things when Adriana made the call as well when Dante called Ariel. They were still together when Rain called and when Enzo watched the footage she sent.

Once Dante told him, he would explain Enzo had asked Rain to back off and requested Ryan to gather all of the things she found. Now, here they were going through all of it.

"I didn't have a choice" Dante sighs deeply.

"You did not have a choice? You are saying you did not have a choice while you made my son a murderer and exiled him, when you had kept the truth hidden" Enzo shouts, as he could not keep his anger bottled up.

"Enzo, it's not what you think"

"It all starts with that sentence," Enzo spats.

"For fuck's sake let me speak, I did not knew he was back"

"And we would not have known the truth if he was not back. You lied, you have been lying to all of us, for all these years," Enzo growls in anger, for the injustice of his child.

"I know I should not have kept the secret but if it got out things would have turned bad"

"So, you sacrificed my son" Enzo asks.

"I think we all need to calm down first before we start talking" Rom interferes in between them.

"I think I heard everything I need to and I will handle this myself from here by" Enzo finalizes as he walks out of the room.

"For fuck sake Enzo, don't be ridiculous," Dante, he shouts as he follows him out.

"Listen I know I made a mistake but I will make it right, just give me a chance to explain and let me confirm a few things, please Enzo," Dante pleads stopping him from leaving.

"Okay, confirm everything you need to else I am walking out of here and what I will do from here on is none of anyone's god damn business" he warns Dante who nods in agreement.

Dante takes out his phone and dials his son's number, he sighs in relief when it starts to ring and after a few rings, and finally his son answers it.

"Where the fuck are you?" Dante shouts startling him.

"Stay right fucking there, I am coming for you. When I do, I swear you two are going to pay for what you did," he warns cutting the call off and walking to his car.

"Wait for me, I will be right back," he shouts without turning back.
