《Devil's Affection [Affection Series 5] {Completed}》Chapter 07

"You can breathe, you know" Siran chuckles as he takes a glimpse towards Raine before focusing back on the drive.
Raine nods her head robotically as she has forgotten to breathe from the moment Sirus announced they were safely inside of Martin land and they will soon reach the Alpha's home.
She is in awe at the beauty of the pack lands; there is just something so old and beautiful about the pack that she cannot even describe its beauty.
There is the touch of both technology and medieval time in here, and being surrounded by technology all her life Raine feels refreshed seeing greenery everywhere she turns.
"Is this the feel of coming back home?" she asks as she opens the window on her side and sticking out her face to breathe in the air.
"What feelings?" Sirus asks as he has his head out as well with his tongue out of his mouth like a dog.
"Feeling safe, relaxed, happy" she speaks closing her eyes before she too sticks out her tongue and as air hits her face she realizes why dogs do it, it is an amazing experience.
"Raine, look horses" Sirus shouts as he points out towards the herd of horses running wildly.
"We got horses?" she asks in disbelief.
"Cows, sheep, goats name any domestic animal and we have them, we have a dairy factory running in our family name," Siran explains as he watches the duo sticking their tongues out.
"That is so awesome" she sighs before she puts her head back in and Siran laughs as he sees her hair sticking in every direction.
"You better fix your hair before you meet our parents," he tells her just as the big house comes in view.
"That's our home?" she gasps looking at it wide eyes as she takes it all in.
"Alpha's do have the biggest house," Siran answers as he stops the car and get out.
*******
Raine sits inside of the car scared to, even step out and as she cannot believe she finally arrived to the one place she never thought she would ever be able to see.
"Home" she whispers and yelps as Sirus shouts from the other side of the window scaring her before he asks her to get out.
She grimaces his way before she touches the door handle to open it at the same time the front door of the house bursts open and she halts in her step.
"Daddy" the twins shout, as they both run before they jump in to their father's arms.
"Welcome back home boys" Adrian Martin grins brightly as he holds his two gems.
"We brought our sister with us" the boys announce which brings a frown on Adrian's face before he stares at the car and Raine slowly steps out dreading if she will get the same warm welcome the boys got.
"Your sister" Scar asks in confusion as she walks towards the boys and Raine stops and just stands at the side of the car.
Raine watches wide eyed at the couple in front of her, she clutches her left arm with her right hand, as she feels a bit vulnerable, this is the first time she is meeting her mother and her beauty is nothing compared to all those pictures she saw back in HP.
Suddenly seeing them together, she feels insecure as nothing of her features matches with them.
She does not have the kind eyes like her mother or the red-hair she carries proudly, even their skin color is different.

Now, she knows why Devilin chose Ariel, because Ariel is a carbon copy to her mother as if they were twins while she is just plain old Adriana.
Moving her gaze towards her father Adriana gulps as the man has a frown on his face and it makes her uneasy so she shuffles on her feet.
"Welcome home, Pup" Adrian speaks as a smile graces his feature and their smile it matches, that is when she finds it.
Her father's smile is just like one she has.
"Papa" she whispers taking a step towards them but she stumbles back as a bundle jumps her way.
"Mommy's Friend, you are back, did you bring chocolates for me," Little blue shouts as she holds onto Raine's legs and grips on it tight.
"Uh-oh seems like our little devil has found her new victim" Advin chuckles as he joins his parents and brothers.
"Oh" Raine gasps once again as she stares at her big brother who looks exactly like her father.
"Blue" Jasmine's unsure voice makes Raine wince while the little Blue groans.
"Blue, is that...oh my god, blue is that you?" Jasmine asks in shock as she faces Raine who sheepishly waves at Jasmine's way.
"Yes, mommy, it's me Blue, calling me Blue all the time will not make me Red" the little girl groans as she walks towards her parents way but Jasmine just pushes her aside and rushes towards Raine.
"Oh my god, you are alive," Jasmine whispers as she throws her arms around the girl and cries.
"Umm...ya about that" Raine chuckles as she holds Jasmine before she winces in pain as Jasmine hits the girl's arm.
"How could you do this to me, do you have any idea how worried I was when we could not find you and all this time...
You, where have you been gone" Jasmine asks, as she holds Raine by both her shoulders and shakes her.
"I am sorry" Raine stutters as her teeth chatters together with the force Jasmine uses to shake her.
"I think you can scold her later honey" Advin states as he pulls his emotional mate away from the poor Raine.
"Thank you" Raine takes a deep breathe as she tries to stand straight before she finds herself engulfed in someone's arms.
"Thank you for saving our Jasmine" Scar's sweet voice rings near her ear and she holds her mother back hugging her tightly.
Raine closes her eyes as she takes a deep breathe, scenting her mother and memorizing the moment. She lets go of Scar when Adrian clears his throat and she smiles shyly.
"Now can I hug you?" Adrian asks as he opens his arms wide open for Raine to step in.
*******
Raine speechless just nods her head slowly as she takes a few steps towards her father's strong arms, she slowly touches his arms before it wraps around her and she sighs in relief.
"Welcome home, I was just trying to figure out where I saw you. You are the girl who our little Blue crashed in to at the hospital," Adrian whispers before he let go of her but Raine just clutches the sleeve of his shirt to stop him.
"Hi" she smiles grinning widely and Adrian smiles back before pinches the girl's cheek lightly.
"Okay, family move on" Sirus's loud cry breaks the trance both Adrian and Adriana were in before they all walk inside the house.
*******
"Are you lost?" Blue's voice startles Raine and she jumps in fright before turning to find the girl rubbing her eyes with one hand clutching her teddy.

"Kind of and also I could not sleep" Raine smiles as she holds the girl's hand even if she was asking to be picked up.
"Well, okay then, let's go. I know a perfect way to fall asleep," Blue announces before she pulls Raine down the hall.
Raine raises a brow as Blue kicks the door twice and they both wait. Raine blinks a few times as the door opens and it was Adrian.
"What are you two doing?" Adrian asks in amusement as they stand in front of the door.
"Papa, we both cannot fall asleep, tell us the story of the queen and we will" Blue asks as she pulls Raine along with her inside the room which happened to be Adrian's office.
"It was not my idea," Raine states as she turns to stare back at her father.
"I know" he smiles back to assure her before closing the door.
"You don't mind me being here do you?" Raine asks to make sure she is welcomed.
"Relax Pup" Adrian chuckles as he pinches her cheek once again before pulling Blue up in his arms.
Raine has the biggest grin on her face when Adrian finishes telling them the story about the queen Crystal; it was not the story that made her grin but the fact that it was her father, who was doing so.
Blue was fast asleep on his lap but Raine was too much happy to even blink her eyes shut.
"I think the story was not enough to make you go and fall asleep," Adrian says as he slowly puts his granddaughter on the couch and pulls a thin blanket covering her.
"You are more fun than a rope swing on the elbow of a dinosaur and I know what you are thinking...
'That does not sound fun at all in fact that sounds quiet dangerous' yeah but you get the point" she shrugs her shoulder before looking around the room while Adrian frowns trying to figure out what she was talking about.
"Actually I did not" Adrian replies as he watches the girl move around the room.
"What?"
"The point of your talking"
"Oh that, it was a compliment take it" she replies making him chuckle.
"You are quiet a fun girl to be around" he compliments her as well.
"Oh it's the lighting of the room actually if you saw me in bright day light; you will be stunned by my presence," she announces making him laugh loudly.
"Now I know why my boys could not stop talking about you and how they want to adopt you in to the family," Adrian states, which make her, do a happy dance inside.
*******
"I heard that Dante was the one who brought you in to the faculty" Adrian states as he passes a cup of coffee to Raine who nods in reply as she looks inside the cup.
"Will this not make us wake up all night?" Raine asks even if she sips on the cup.
"I am insomniac" Adrian clears it out and she nods her head in understanding.
"Well that explains," she murmurs referring to her own problem with sleep sometimes.
"What?" Adrian asks as he tries to hear what she said.
"Oh, nothing just talking to my self, I do that all the time so don't mind me" she waves her hands before sipping on the coffee.
"So Raine how do you like the stay so far?" Adrian asks, as he does not know what else to say.
"Oh I am so very excited and happy to be here that I can start dancing naked but I won't because that will be so weird, not that it will bother you as you are a wolf and Alpha at that...
In addition, I know you all like to roam around naked which is not a bad thing seeing you will have to shift to your wolves form and the clothes will get torn apart not that I am trying to say that you cannot afford any clothes because you are rich, like really rich...
But you got the point of my babbling right?"
"I think I do" Adrian smiles at her way in amusement.
"So, can I ask you some questions of my own?" Raine slowly asks as they both keep sipping on their drink and smiling.
"Sure go ahead"
"Okay, wait" Raine puts the cup aside before she gets up and pulls a paper from inside of her bra.
"Don't mind me it's the safest place" she smiles before she unfolds the paper and clears her throat.
"Okay, question number one, do you like computers?" she asks slowly making Adrian chuckle, as he was not anticipating for what she had to ask.
"Uh-yes, I will be surprised if someone did not" he replies making her nod and she writes something down.
"Okay, next do you like meat?"
"It's a yes as well; I am a werewolf so the obvious but my mate she dislikes it that is why I try not to eat it when we share meals"
"Ah...so the last and final most important question of your life...
What would you have done if your mate rejected you to be with someone who is better looking and having something you don't have?" she asks edging a bit on her seat.
"Well, I will marry my current mate?" he answers her question with a question as he does not know how else to answer it.
"Oh-ho" she nods her head as she slowly sticks her tongue out and starts writing something once again.
"Raine, what is the point of asking me all these questions again?" Adrian asks as this was not the questions he was looking for.
"Don't worry I will not sell these answers to NASA so they could come haunt you down and experiment on you, I am not that powerful...
Anyway I was just taking these answers to see how much common we have with each other except our name so I can survive in here"
"How is that going?"
"It seems I have fifty-fifty similarities with you and your mate it's my features that does not match except that most of the things are similar...
Like I have sleeping problems like you, then I have the case of dislike of meat and then I have yet to marry too but that's not the point," she states proudly putting the paper back from where she pulled it out.
"I always thought it was only my boys that are crazy but how wrong was I? Don't you think you are taking being their sister idea to another level?" he asks her as he stands up from his seat.
"But I am not, you see I am your daughter the one who..."
"Raine, I get it that the boys loves you and wants to make you part of our family and I have no problem adopting you but I cannot, not until I trust you"
"But you don't have to adopt me, I am..."
"It's getting late Raine, why don't you go to bed, I will tuck Blue in as well" he speaks as he opens the door and waits for her to leave.
"Well, I hope you can trust me soon because I swear I am virus-free, user-friendly and well I cannot turn into a werewolf but if you want I can wear a wolf suit for the rest of my life" she babbles on as she stands next to him.
"Don't worry much pup, go rest. I should not have offered you the coffee" Adrian ruffles her hair trying to cheer her up.
*******
"What do you think you are doing?" Warren asks as he finds Raine standing out of the barn.
"Well, I need your help"
"And may I know for what?" he asks as he walks out with a horse.
"I want to help around this place so Adrian will be able to trust me" she replies making Warren frown.
"I don't think Adrian would let you roam around freely if he did not have a little trust in you"
"Really?" she asks as a big smile covers her face.
"Yes, come on you can help me feed the horses" he chuckles as he gives her the bag of apples.
"Ho"
"Oh"
Both Scar and Raine groans as they crash into each other then smile as they find whom they crashed into, before they pick up the apples all scattered down from their bag.
"Scar, I thought you would be in bed" Warren comments surprised to see her out after so long.
"I am all good now" Scar smiles before she looks at Raine.
"Warren I will show her things around in here," Scar announces as she holds Raine's hand and they both walk back to the horse stables.
*******
"I heard you don't like meat" is the first thing she asks Scar as they both feed the horses a few apples.
"Yes, I don't like it and it is weird that I married to a man who loves it" she giggles before ruffling the horse head that was nuzzling her cheek.
"Can I speak freely with you?" Raine softly asks as she too starts to ruffle the horse's head.
"Yes"
"Well, I am...I just don't know how to start talking with you. This is the first time I am meeting you and it's nervous and overwhelming for me"
"Ho...don't worry, I am not going to eat you" Scar smiles trying to crack a joke.
"That's good to know, because I don't taste nice at this time of the day, sweat and all," Raine answers back before both of them bursts out laughing.
"Raine, I like you" Scar states once they are finished laughing and Raine just grins widely.
"Do you like cookies?" she asks next to Raine who nods her head vigorously before they make their way back to the house.
Raine cannot wipe the grin away from her mouth as she watches her mother pour a glass of milk and put her hand made cookies on the plate for her. When Scar turns and puts the glass and plate in front of her Raine cannot help but feel emotional as this is the very first time she will be eating something her mother made just for her.
"Are you not going to eat it?" Scar asks, as Raine does not move to eat anything.
"I am just saving this moment in my mind actually so it does not gets erased easily, this moment will forever will be attached in my brain so when I want I can refresh it and play it again and again" Raine replies as she slowly picks the cookie up and dips in it the milk.
"Ho...well I hope it's a good thing" Scar murmurs, as she cannot make any sense to what the girls spoke.
"Can I call you mom?" Raine asks at once as she is done savoring everything that was in front of her.
"Ho...uh...okay" Scar agrees as she thinks on it for a while.
Raine's bright face makes Scar proud of her decision, as the girl's smile widens even more. Scar just smiles in return as she feels bad for the girl who wants to call her a mom.
As Scar knows how when she was of the girl's age she missed her mother terribly as there were times her Papa did not knew how to handle her or say things she needed to hear.
Good thing she had Mrs. Hans as a mother figure and if Scar can be even somewhat a mother figure for the girl then it will be her utmost pleasure.
*******
"Best day of my life" Raine screams once she is far away from the house and in open.
"May I know why it is?" Advin's voice startles her and she yelps turning around to find her big brother walking out of some trees.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"I was just..."
"I am glad that you don't feel awkward in this place" Advin smiles as he states it and she sheepishly nods her head.
"Where's Jasmine and Blue?" she asks wanting to change the topic and she is glad she did as his smile widens hearing their name.
"She is somewhere running behind our daughter actually, blue loves to hide a lot" he chuckles before they walk together around the trees.
"Reminds me of someone" Raine laughs at the co-incidence.
"And that reminds me of something as well, I have yet to thank you for saving my mate" Advin confesses as he stops walking and turns to face her with a smile.
"I did nothing of the sort, I am sure I was the one who dragged her in to the trouble"
"But it was a good trouble, I found my mate"
"In that case you are welcome"
"So, how are you feeling, first day in Martin's land?" Advin asks as they continue to walk.
"Awesome, I think it won't be so bad if I stay on here permanently. I love being here like an unspoken metaphor. That is why I had to use a simile"
"You are funny, we won't mind having you around" Advin chuckles as his hand rises on its own and ruffles her hair lovingly.
"I know right, I even have a few plans to secure these areas, do you know that the security in here is so dull...
It is as if I am back to medieval era when I walk around, but its fun, after living my entire life surrounded with technology it's refreshment to be in here still we definitely need some changes around"
"Okay, stop right there, not even a whole twenty-four hours in our land and you are already talking about changes...
Guess you can take Raine out from HP but not HP out of Raine, huh?" he teases as they keep walking around.
"Well, I am just a little paranoid if I don't see any place highly secured, I just have this knack at the back of my head...
Sorry, to bore you with my talks"
"No, I find you quite refreshing on your own no wonder the twins have so much attachment with you and about the security I will talk with dad then why don't you show us what you think needs changed in detail?" he suggests and she just beams like a light in darkness.
"I can..."
"Stop, but before that enjoy the beauty of our land, my mother's garden" he offers turning her to face the garden they both walked in.
"This is...'
