Wolfe - Darcy & Dublin's Beginnings

XLIV- Rillianna

Rillianna watched as the three were assessing their surroundings. 

How Draven's eyes would always wander towards a Lycan in a red dress. 

She knew her mother knew who was really Leila's mate and making her wear that red dress was indeed the best move her mother could make. 

So far, it was Draven's look on his face when she told him that Darcy and Leila were official that made her heart break a little. 

She understand perfectly how he felt and how it would also hurt not being with your chosen mate. 

Any Lycan can tell you that it is a whole different ball game to not be with your chosen mate. 

To not be in sync with them. 

To be in a different wave length. 

But she could not give him a happier answer. 

"Draven."

"Hmm?"

"I see the way Dublin holds your hand and your arm when you came here. Do you have feelings for her?"

Draven was silent, his eyes wandering towards Dublin who was laughing freely with her twin sister. 

Rillianna did not have to get a straight answer, seeing as his eyes told her everything.

"Isn't it funny. How you and Darcy both have someone you wanted but could not have."

"What do you mean."

"Dublin is Darcy's mate. Leila is yours. At least the two of you have mates. I have waited for centuries to find mine."

Draven was quiet. It would seem to Rillianna that he knew the hard and bitter truth.

"Draven, I want you and the girls to have fun. To be able to find your mates. To be able to live freely and happy. So far, you're moping. Why don't you go have fun instead. Keep your mind somewhere else. Dublin seems to be choosing you over my brother. And I know that she chose you over him because..."

"Yeah. I like her a lot too but I know for a fact she will never be happy with me."

"Who knows. Now go and have fun, I have other guests to greet."

"Do you need company?"

"Sure, if you don't mind."

"You know I don't."

Rillianna smiled and took Draven's arm as both went on to greet other guests. 

These guests were coming from every side of their territory and outside of it as well.

A few rouge packs whom they grew up with and some newer ones who respected them.

"Yo Darcy who's the hot Lycan?" Someone yelled which made Rilli rolled her eyes in amusement. 

"This is my best friend and girlfriend Leila."

Rilli who heard it turned to look at Draven who was looking at her with a surprised look.

"You seem over it."

"I took your advise."

"Uh-huh. I wonder how Dublin feels seeing as she heard it."

Both of them turned to look for Dublin and saw that she felt nothing.

As if what she heard was nothing but a simple conversation she should not be overhearing. 

"Hmmm she seems to be taking this lightly as well." Draven said.

"For how long though. You can tell the pull between them."

Rillianna walked on greeting the other new comers, doing what her parents were also doing. 

She was clearly not looking as to where she was going at this point because she accidentally bumped into someone new. 

"I'm sorry. I was not looking where I should be treading." A new voice said, which made Rillianna look up.

To her surprise it was someone she was not as familiar with but it seemed to have caught her mother's attention. 

"Darling are you alright?"

"Yes mom."

"Hades sweetheart, do be careful next time."

Hades?
