The Untamed: Game of Hearts - Chapter 189
Raine and Tyrone brought Aire to the amusement theme park early in the morning, so the girl had enough time to enjoy the attractions with them to the fullest in case the blue moon indeed appeared that night.
“Is this your first time going into an amusement park?” Raine asked, seeing how her daughter had looked so much in awe as soon as they entered the park.
“Yes, Mommy. I can’t tell you the reason why though,” Aire whispered.
The future mother had a bright smile as she praised, “That’s fine, Sweetie. And good job. Less talking means fewer mistakes on your part. Anyway, at least now you get to enjoy this…”
Behind the two, Tyrone watched the mother and daughter pair walking hand in hand in front of him. He was glad to see how Raine also acted like a kid while mingling with her daughter. She was laughing and smiling beautifully, and it was exactly how he just wanted to make Raine happy for the rest of her life. It was mesmerizing, seeing her being carefree and not having to worry about anything else aside from him and their future children.
Catching his own thoughts, Tyrone let out a sigh. He knew that it wasn’t possible at that point in time. Still, he quickly shrugged off the negative thought and called the two, saying, “Wait for me!” He then chuckled as he placed himself in between the two, putting his arms over each of their shoulders.
Raine and Aire laughed at his actions, both of them simply holding on to Tyrone’s waist. The two girls’ hands met on the man’s back, clasping one another as they held on to those they held dear.
The family enjoyed each other’s company, and soon enough, the hours passed by so quickly… The sun was starting to set when Raine and Tyrone decided to go somewhere uphill where they could admire the lovely sunset, also making sure that there was some semblance of privacy for the three of them.
Grabbing the blanket he brought, Tyronespread it across the ground, making sure that they picked the perfect spot for the view.
“Daddy is always so ready for everything,” Aire praised in amusement as she sat on the blanket with her mother. Being prepared, Tyrone also put an extra blanket over Raine and Aire’s shoulders so that they could share. Immediately, Raine cuddled Aire deep into her embrace.
“Let me join in on the action,” Tyrone chuckled as he sat beside Aire, who was now in between her loving parents.
“The sun’s setting soon, and I really hope that there’s no blue moon,” Raine cautiously hoped with a pout as tears unconsciously fell from her eyes. The flow of hopeful sadness only intensified when she felt Aire hug her tightly.
Meanwhile, back at Raine’s private residence, four people gathered in the control room with Draki to discuss important changes and to allocate the tasks required for the sudden change of plans. There were sighs coming off from each and every one of them with every conceivable roadblock they had to address.
“This isn’t good.” Boris was the first one to break the silence. Bringing in Danos’s head was his only way to win Lyne over, but it would be impossible for him to do so alone. He had never planned to do it by himself. He needed Raine’s support for his plan to work.
“I know, right? We prepared hard for it. I mean, didn’t the Boss know how Mia and I worked our brains off for that barrier?” Levi complained with a sigh. “And implanting small bombs throughout the areas wasn’t-”
“That’s enough, you two. There’s no point in getting bitter and discussing grievances like this,” Lyne cut the complainer off. “The Boss knows what she’s doing, and I’m sure it’s for the best… at this moment, at least.”
“Lyne’s right… But what cracks me up more than anything else is Aire’s identity,” Mia humorlessly chuckled. “I mean… Damn, so Tyrone and the Boss in the future became husband and wife, and she- Ah, no wonder I feel like I’m seeing the Boss whenever I look at Aire. That sly little devil was like the mini-Boss with her cunning bargains and stuff!” she exclaimed. She still couldn’t believe how Aire played them all dancing to her tune.
“And the worst part of it is that she’s about to return to her own time tonight without us even having the opportunity to interrogate her about the future,” Levi almost pouted in disappointment. “Oh, right. We can’t do that since there’s some kind of ordeal coming for her if we do that…” he contorted. He then squinted his eyes in Draki’s direction and scoffed, “No wonder you’re here, Draki. You’re nothing but a replacement, huh!”
“Now, we know why that little brat knew a lot of things about us, giving us love advice an-” Mia paused as her eyes met Levi’s. ‘That only means that Levi and I would end up together in the future, right?’
Her face reddened, and so did Levi who probably had the same thought. Or was it close to that one? Mia wasn’t sure since she didn’t know what exactly Levi and Aire talked about. Still, she was sure that such was the case since she finally put the pieces together with the hints Aire subtly gave her whenever they spoke about Levi.
The awkward atmosphere was interrupted when Lyne got up from the chair and said, “There are more than a lot of things we need to discuss as a team. I will need to talk to Dylan first so that he could relay the information to others as the Boss instructed.” She then moved to proceed with her orders. Since the plan was already perfect, everyone involved had been ready to execute their objectives the moment the Mirage Trial ended tomorrow.
Lyne had to disseminate the new orders, which were to delay the plans and wait for further instructions.
Seeing his mate leave, Boris also stood up from his chair and quietly followed behind Lyne. Sensing him behind her, however, Lyne halted her steps and turned around to face Boris with an arched brow.
Boris scratched his head and hesitantly murmured, “What would happen to us now?”
Lyne didn’t expect such a question, but she could understand where Boris was coming from and his sentiments. She let out a long sigh before she turned back and instructed, “Follow me…”
Boris returned her sigh and followed her to her bedroom. Noticing where they were, he inwardly cursed, thinking how he should behave and control himself knowing that they were alone in an enclosed space alone.
Casually sitting on the couch, Lyne looked at Boris in a daze and murmured, “Let’s make our conversation quick because I have to talk to the team and relay the changes in plans for tomorrow, Boris. You do know that tomorrow will be a crucial day.”
Boris sat beside her and gathered enough courage as he said, “I’ll try my best to kill Danos on my own, Lyne. Can I ask you to please still allow me to be close to you? Can we at least date formally? Like, give me enough of a grace period of your choice? Please let me show you how sincere I am. Please give me a chance.”
There was a moment of silence before Lyne looked at Boris with a faint smile as she said, “I will answer you tomorrow, Boris, after the Mirage Trial. For now, let’s finish the work at hand… I need to relay important matters to the team.”
Boris understood Lyne. As such, he quietly left her bedroom.
Letting out a long sigh, Lyne grabbed her mobile phone to start dialing back the plans. She had mixed emotions with the sudden turn of events. She was worried but relieved at the same time. Worried since her chance to get revenge would be delayed or could no longer happen anymore, relieved that somehow they did not need to go to fight. She was honestly worried for everyone’s safety… Yes, they were trained enough and the high technology weapons to their advantage, and yet, in reality, their human bodies were not as strong as werewolves.
She let out a sigh and she was about to dial Dylan’s number, but the sun outside her balcony looked so beautiful that she took her time staring at it for a while. She even walked to her balcony and had her time to enjoy the peaceful scenery at that moment. It was so beautiful how the sun would set like that and later rise again…
The sunset was quicker than usual. Soon enough, the full moon graced the night sky in all of its splendor. There was a moment where everything seemed to freeze, and Lyne suddenly shook her head and murmured, “Did I forget to do something? Why do I feel like there’s something I need to do but I can’t remember?”
She then looked at the sky. “Another full moon? It’s the second time this month, so it’s the blue moon…”
