"I see the numbers have increased since the last time" Rom smiles proudly checking on the list of numbers of kids that have attend their training program.

"Yes, that's why I have made a list of all of them alphabetically according to their pack's name, so it will be easier for you to remember and also I have added their skills, bloodline and their ranking in their pack" Adriana adds satisfied with her work.

"Good job" Rom grins patting her head lightly before he goes back to his work but stops once he finds Adriana still standing

"Yes?" he asks when she does not get out of his office.

"Oh...um the boys they are going out for drinks...they will be out all day and night, celebrating the weekend as they always do, because they are allowed to" she informs him cheerfully.

"Okay" he voices not much interested in what they do on the weekends as long as they do not create any havoc.

"It's the weekend after all, who doesn't wants to get wasted right" she smiles pleased.

"Your point Rain before I kick you out myself" Rom demands as he does not have time to sit and have some sappy talk.

"So, I was just wondering, if I can join them" she dare asks him.

"No" and he simply refuses it.

"What...why, I mean it's not like I will get wasted or anything, it's just a healthy going out" she protests in disbelief.

"Because, we already discussed about this fact that you are to not leave these premises, you are grounded," he reminds her as he goes through the papers in front of him.

"Yes, but it has been already like months, that I have been grounded. I mean isn't it a bit too much" she asks exasperated as they go through this talk on like a daily basis.

"Not regarding you" he stops what he is doing and announces it with a frown.

"Oh...but can you just put your feet in my shoes and think about it for a moment?" she pleads once again trying her luck while he just stares at her.

"Your sneakers are too small for me to be in your shoes and think" he deadpans waving her out but she stands her ground.

"Please Rom; it's just for one night. One night of freedom in weeks, please and it will be kind of sexist of you to ground me for something that happened like two years ago while I have seen you let guys pass on things way worse than what I did" she points out wishing he would see the point.

"Yes I'm a sexist, there, now what? Moreover, you spent ten million, may I remind you ten fucking million in two months!

Who in their right mind spends all of their entire life's money just like that and on something as stupid as yours?" he shouts making her wince as she remembers where she spent that money without even knowing or caring how much she was spending.

"And you haven't even explained to me whom you even spent it on" he adds after thought.

"It's just one night, anyway," she grumbles to herself.

"Do you want me to ground you for the rest of your life? Oh wait, you did say to ground you for the rest of your life because you don't care your life was ruined anyway," he shouts asking her and just like that, she drags her feet towards the door begrudgingly.

*******

Adriana watches through the cameras as the boys leave the grounds grinning at each other shouting in delight and merrily.

"Don't cry, not with fresh make up on" she mumbles to herself before closing the screen and going back on to her pending work.

"Hey" someone knocks on her screen door and she turns around to see Noah standing there.

"Ok, ok I will stop playing the song" she shouts at him but he still stands there.

"What?" she asks and he points at the lock on the door so she goes to open it for him.

"You seem upset" he points the obvious.

"I don't even know what my face looks like but anyway thanks for notifying me" sarcasm drips off her mouth in return.

"I was just being nice seeing as all of them left except you, thought you would be thankful for some company guess I was wrong" he sighs before putting the disc on her table that he had.

"I have always been alone in here, what's the diff this time?" she asks turning around to face him.

"Fine, you caught me; I need you to go through the data in here. I am to submit the report on Monday, but as we all know I won't be able to as I will be busy drinking the weekend out" he smiles pleading her.

"I may love to shop but I'm not buying your bullshit. You clean your own mess not me" she answers getting back to her task, she yelps when all of a sudden Noah spins her chair.

He traps her around, holding on to both sides of her chair and getting close to her, extremely.

"Now, listen here smarty pants, you are not the only one who has brains in here. Just because you get your own section of the building, and get to order us around does not mean you can walk all over us...

I have been very patience when it comes to you, because I really, really like you Rain. That is why, I ignore all of your insults; you throw my way, or toss my requests around...

However, you see this particular report is extremely important, which will help me to get where I want, so be a good girl and do it for me" he smiles threateningly.

"It's kind of sad watching you attempt to fit your entire vocabulary into a sentence...

Moreover, if you think you threatening me will make me cower and do your shit, you are more delusional that I thought...

Now let go of my chair, before I scream your ear off" Adriana grits through her teeth as she backs her chair away from his grasp and hands his disc back opening the door for him.

Noah just glares at the back of her head before he walks out of the door in a rage while Adriana just takes a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"Rain" someone calls right through her ear and a scream is out as she hit her knee on the table.

*******

"Like a BIT of an ouCH" she curses rubbing on her knee before she pulls the earpiece back in place.

"What happened?" Ethan asks hearing her curse.

"Could you not warn a girl before calling out of no where?" she shouts at him still holding her erratically beating heart.

"Sorry, the line with you is always on so just....anyway you okay?" he asks worried about her as she rarely is caught off guard.

"Yes, yes...so what is it you want?" she asks as she looks at the time.

"I just wanted to know if everything is going according to plan for next week or not. We do not want any unwanted disturbances at the event," he states to her.

"I know, don't worry I have everything covered. I have already gone through all the blue prints of the building and checked on the loopholes...

I will send you reports and data on all the men who will be on duty and on guard" she replies as she goes to email him the details.

"Good, the council wants to check on the details themselves for the day so email the reports to them as well...

Oh and before I forget, I just sent you two lists filled with names of people along with their identity on who will be attending the event make sure to do a thorough check on them, see if we can get some dirt on those with a red mark on the name" he orders before cutting the line.

"I need some coffee," she murmurs as soon as the line is off and she saves the names before getting out of her den in search of food and coffee as she knows it will be a long night.

*******

Adriana hums to herself as she types the names and matches the photos with it checking on everything she can gain on the people.

After re-checking everyone, she sends the details back to Ethan; she smiles as she checks on the time happy that she still has three more hours before sunrise, which means she gets to go to sleep early.

The next time Adriana wakes is to the beeping on the security line, she groans and walks to her computer to blink her eyes in disbelief.

Rubbing her eyes, she checks on it once again before she bursts out laughing, as all of the men are standing right outside of the faculty gates in nothing but their birth suits.

"Rain, come on" the men on the other side of the gate keeps calling her name pleading for her to open the gates for them as none of them could.

"I am getting some coffee," she announces more cheerful than she should be.

"Come on, Rain open the bloody gate before we get caught" one of the boys pleads with her again.

"Oh you all are caught all right" she laughs before opening the gates for them.

She laughs even more when the men run towards their cabins in frenzy pushing each other while Adriana enjoys her coffee, watching their naked asses.

After they all get dressed, Rain waits for them with fresh coffee, she sits on the top of the table as they all take their coffee and sit in the chairs available.

"Don't even ask" one of the men grumbles before she could even open her mouth.

"Okay, but we all know sooner or later I will know about it. Anyway, I have a list attached on the bulletin board, those whose name is on it please go see Rom and those who don't, go on with your usual day to day work" she informs before walking out of the room leaving the men with their bruised ego.

*******

"Rain" a call from the screen halts her in her work before she focuses on the men in it.

"Yo" she calls pushing her chair near the screen.

"UT is going to be coming to the HP for the monthly check ups; I want the twins to be on guard and on their duty...

Ask them to pick her up in an hour as well as to stick with her for the time being, they will be assisting her in here while she stays also, make sure one of the rooms is available for her" Ryan informs before the line is cut.

As soon as she confirms the time, she calls the twins and informs them about their duties while she requests all the members in the HP to clean up for their check up.

"Rain" another voice calls through her earpiece.

"Yes"

"The orders of the weapons we had made have been delivered as of now; will you be the one signing off on it or someone else?" the caller asks.

"Give me a second," she answers before calling Rom, as he was the one who handles the stuff on going in the HP.

When Rom gives the green signal that he will be looking into it, she informs the man.

So, getting up from her seat she pulls on a cap and walks out holding the file she prepared to see if all the weapons they ordered was delivered or not.

She joins Rom and walks along his side to the garage where the delivery was kept, Rom goes through all of the weapons checking on it while Rain, she ticks off on the weapon that was asked.

"It seems everything is in here, well I will give Ethan a call then" Rom informs the man before the men who did the delivery nod their way and leaves.

"Ask Andrew to check on this and see if they are up to mark and make a call to Ethan confirming we got the delivery...

Oh, and can you see if Gio will be able to make it to the party this year, he missed the last few ones" he asks as they walk out of the room.

"Can you not call him and confirm?" she asks him unsure.

"Oh-ho, are you ordering me now?" he scolds her in a teasing manner.

"Well, I don't have access to any of them actually, but if you are giving me access to a Nova then" she grins giddily.

"Forget it, I will call him myself. What exactly do you do in that room of yours locked inside there whole day if you haven't gotten an okay sign to connect with a Nova?" Rom asks her in irritation.

"Like magnesium, your ignorance burns bright. We all know even the keyboards I use that Nova's are off limits for me, direct orders from the great Dante" she scoffs his way.

"Why do you even have to add great ahead of his name?" Rom asks instead.

"I can explain it to you but I can never understand it for you," she grumbles back as she knows that he knows why she has to add great on Dante's name.

"Well I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong" Rom smiles her way, innocently.

"I am leaving," she groans before the urge to kill him gets too strong.

"Oh wait, while you are at it why don't you check on eBay or something, see if they have a life for sale," he shouts frustrating her even more.

"Oh really, why don't you check it yourself and while you are at it why don't you slip into something more comfortable...like a coma?" she shouts back getting inside the building while leaving few of their audience in laughter.

"That girl" Rom grumbles as this time too she had the last word, she always had to have the last word.

******

Raine stares at the screen in front of her in interest as the men starts to use the weapons testing them to see if they are up to mark or not. She checks on the time before getting out of her den once again.

She sneaks to the training room to sneak a peek on the men and see live if the weapon was good as the report said.

"What do you think you are doing?" someone asks seeing her spying and she cringes for getting caught

"I lost my pen" she laughs it off and the sound of her laughter alerts all the men in the room.

She waves at them in greeting while most of them smile in return and some in amusement.

"You got lost?" one of the men asks her amused.

"No, I was just...anyway are the weapons all good?" she asks truthfully.

"Yes" the same man answers back before he nods to someone behind her.

Rain yelps as one of the guards picks her up holding the back of her t-shirt collar and walks out with her hanging in the air while she folds her hands hearing the laughter of the men in the room.

"You can drop me here" she tells the man carrying her.

Pouting she walks back to her den, not minding, being manhandled as everyone treated her like one of them not some chick.

As soon as she takes her seat and opens the system, a mail pops in. When she opens the line connecting her through Ethan beeps in alerting her he was trying to reach her.

"Yo" she answers going through her mail.

"I have been trying to reach you since ages, where were you. Never mind, we have a problem one of the pack is accusing that our warriors attacked them and killed few of their men...

They are sending one of their officers to confirm whether or not they are our men, he will be in the faculty in few hours make sure you check everything twice before confirming it's our men...

Also, check on the entry data to see which of the officers requested a pass to their land and where everyone was between the days when the attacked happened" he orders before he cuts the line not giving her time to ask what, how and why?

"Perks of being the only girl they can order around" she sighs heavily.

"I heard you" Ethan chuckles startling her before he cuts the line for sure this time.

********

"Officer Rain, nice to see you again" the man smiles as he offers his hands to her as soon as he enters her den.

"I'm still not ready to spit on it and shake" she humors before turning to the screen.

"Funny" the man chuckles as he sets down his suitcase on the table as he takes a seat.

Opening his suitcase the man types the password before he turns the bag, which has a mini laptop in it towards Adriana.

"Hmm...interesting," she hums watching the images inside.

"That's what I'm curious about, some of your warrior's without any legal authority crossed our borders and killed some of our men...

I discussed this with the council but they seem to have no clue that those warrior's were even yours, so I am here for answers through you as you are the one who has all the knowledge of each and every warrior's whereabouts" the man states waiting eagerly for her answers.

Adriana nods before connecting the man's hard drive to her computer and pulling the files before she goes through the entire scan to know who exactly they were.

"You have a call" the computer voices before Adriana picks up the call.

"Rain, details" Ethan's calm voice is heard in the room.

"They aren't one of our men. The dress code, it holds our emblem but no one's face matches in the data of our warrior's" she replies back loosing all the playfulness she had few seconds ago.

"What are your thoughts?" Ethan asks humming at the info.

"None of the warriors were asked to be deployed to that part of the grounds and I just pin pointed everyone who was deployed and they are right now serving as they were asked to, not even one person missing"

"Any others grounds that are uncovered"

"Nil"

"So in where lies the problem?" Ethan asks not knowing how the accident even occurred if they were not their men but still had the dress.

"Rain" Ethan calls when he gets no reply from her.

"Rain, Are you in there?"

"Give me a sec" Rain requests as she zooms the pictures going through it in more details she types few buttons and curses.

"What is it?" Ethan asks in worry hearing her curse as she rarely does so.

"The boys, they had gone for drinks last weekend directly from here"

"So?"

"Uh...We....I mean they thought it was some sort of prank by someone even though we never got the culprit, they came back home naked...

Someone stole their clothes...And oh gosh, it's there clothes in the pictures" Rain unhappily informs him of the news.

"I need names on my desk of all of them, now," Ethan growls in anger and she cringes.

"I...sure. They all are so dead" she shakes her head pulling out the files matching the names on the pictures and sending them all to Ethan.

"Do you realize what sort of havoc this will create?" the man who came with Andrew asks her stressed as he closes his suitcase and gets up to leave.

"I'm still not ready to shake my hands with you" Adriana dead pans

"Very well, I need to go back and inform my Alpha about all the progress and it seems we need to rethink about the council as well as have a meeting on about the warrior's training and how to spend their weekend and how to hold their drinks" the man states as he leaves.

*******

Rain spends all her day trying to gather any Intel she can get about the incident, she uses her magic hands and gets as much footage from the CCTV cameras that had images of the men from between leaving the HP grounds until they reached and came back from the club.

As she was in middle of putting the files away, Andrew calls her out.

"Rain, grab what you need we have to move now" Andrew's voice breaks her trance and she sighs before grabbing her bag and walking besides him.

"You seriously are going like that?" Andrew asks her amused.

"I'm pulling an all night might as well be comfortable" she answers not so worried as she walks in her pajamas and bunny slippers.

"Any chances that you can save our asses," someone from the group asks as she walks out of her den.

"Serves you right for leaving me here all alone, but none the less, I will try" she tries to assure them

"Thanks Rain" they all shout saluting her.

"Jerks" she comments moving past them, as she knows they were just mocking her doing so.

*******

"Raine" Rom's voice startles her before she lets Andrew hold her bag as the big bear engulfs her in his arms too tightly.

"I can't breathe," she complains as Rom squeezes the life out of her.

"Everyone's waiting for you" he grins before pulling her through a door.
