Chapter Seventeen

Liam looked at AJ then at Rayne, and noticed the panicked look in her eyes "He doesn't know, does he?" he asked softly.

Rayne discreetly shook her head.

Liam let out a huge breath "Nothing" He mumbled "I just meant that I will be taking fantastic care of your niece"

AJ looked her "Rayne do you mind telling me why Liam here seems to think you have been treated badly by the pack?"

Rayne actually considered telling her uncle the truth but knew that it would just create too much drama, sighing she shook her "I don't know what he's talking about uncle AJ" She said softly.

AJ frowned at her for a moment before looking back at Liam and staring at him "Has someone been picking on you Rayne?" He asked when he finally returned his stare to her.

"It's fine uncle AJ, please just pretend you didn't hear Liam say that" She whispered.

"How can I forget about hearing that?" AJ asked her

But before she could answer him she heard a growl coming from behind her. Rayne spun around just as a rogue jumped out of the bushes at her.

Rayne instantly changed from her human form to her lion one, she noticed the rouge eyes widen when he realised what she was.

She jumped into the air and met the rogue half way latching her jaw around it's throat before her feet even touched the ground. The rogue thrashed in her hold forcing Rayne to clamp her jaw tighter. She shook her head side to side until she heard the all too familiar sound of the rogues neck breaking.

Once she released the dead rouges neck she turned around and noticed there were four more rogues. Two were fighting her uncle and two were fighting Liam, she wasted no time jumping on one of the rogues Liam was fighting. She couldn't reach his throat so she bite down on his back as close to his neck as she could get. The rogue yelped loudly and tried to buck Rayne off. She eventually let go and fell to the ground on her back before feeling the weight of the rogue on top of her.

The mangy brown rogue was growling in her face, its yellow teeth were trying to get to her throat. She allowed her claws to emerge from her paw and sliced the rogue along his soft underbelly. The rogue yelled and jumped off her. Rayne wasted no time getting to her feet and running towards the mangy wolf and tackling him to the ground before clamping her jaw around his neck and shaking as she had done with the other one, as soon as his neck snapped she dropped the rogue and looked over to her uncle and Liam. She noticed that they had killed the rogues attacking them. Liam's lion form walked over to Rayne and licked her on the face. She rubbed her face down his until she reached his neck.

"Don't think because of one little rogue attack Rayne that I have forgotten what we were talking about" Her uncle said to her through the mind link.

Rayne groaned in her head "Can we not talk about it now uncle AJ, I would like to spend some time alone with Liam."

"I'm not sure it's safe to be out here alone Rayne, there could still be more rogues."

"Yeah and if your wolves weren't so worried about killing my boyfriend those rogues would never had gotten on our land" She snapped at him causing him to growl at her,

Liam not knowing what was going on pushed Rayne out of the way of her uncle and stood between them, he let out a giant roar at her uncle.

"What is he doing?" AJ asked Rayne.

"He thinks you were planning on hurting me, he is protecting me," Rayne explained.

"We will be discussing why your future mate feels he needs to defend you from your family Rayne," Her uncle said before growling once at Liam and walking away.
