CHAPTER NINE: WAR PREDICTION.

     Scott pressed Rayna's body against his before letting go of her and getting up. The boy came close to the window, looking through it for a moment, before going to the door but he stopped when the girl called him. "Scott? What are you doing?"

      The boy's jaw tensed. He didn't want to involve her, but he knew all his efforts would go to waste when she woke up. "I'm going to see Deucalion."

      "What?" She sat up immediately. Her hair was all over her face while her eyes shone under the light that came from the window. "Did you lose your mind?"

      "He is the only one that can teach us how to fight without seeing," Scott said, making a point. Rayna got out of the bed, acknowledging that he was their only option. She started to put on her clothes as fast as she could. "What are you doing?"

      "We'll go with Deucalion."

      "It's for that same reason that I was trying to leave without waking you up." Scott sighed and Rayna laughed.

      "Did you really think you could manage to escape from the Alpha Queen, Scotty? It's impossible. Besides, taking into account that he'll teach you how to fight against the Anuk-ite, shouldn't I go? Or do you want me to go to a battle without knowing how to fight?"

      Scott sighed again. He didn't want to make the girl see the man responsible for the suffering in her life. But he couldn't let her go to a fight without knowing how-to -that would only end up in her death-. Besides, it's not like he could convince the girl to change her mind when she was stubborn as hell. "Okay. Let's go."

      Rayna laughed again, taking the alpha's hand and making him start walking. "Okay? I wasn't asking for your permission, Scotty."

      "I know." Scott looked at her, intertwining his fingers with hers while they got down the stairs. "But it was cute imagining that I have some kind of influence over your decisions."

      She looked at him one moment before confessing. "You have it, Scotty. Believe me, you do have it. And consider yourself lucky, you're the third person that has that honor."

      Scott raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl curiously. "Who are the other two people that have a slight influence on your decisions?" He mocked her and Rayna smiled, she wasn't going to argue about her being stubborn as a bull.

      "Peter and Derek, of course. Like I said when we met, they are a pain in the ass, but I love them."

      "Are we talking about the same Peter and Derek?" Scott smirked and the girl laughed, approaching him before leaving.

      The war was coming, she could feel it.
