"Yes I know, but..." Devilin stops talking as he sighs and holds the hand that wraps around him from behind.

He turns around to peck on her forehead before focusing on the call he was making while Raine kisses his back and closes her eyes.

"Okay, we will talk about it later...no I cannot just come by, what do you mean by why? I am recently mated; I cannot just leave when I know she will be in heat...

I will keep my phone on just call me if you need me, but I cannot promise my physical presence," Devilin laughs as he disconnects the line.

"Was it necessary to tell the whole world that we are mated?" Raine asks as she stands in front of him.

"I don't have to, why do you think everyone is calling. They know we are mated so now where was I when the call interrupted us?" he asks pulling the white sheet off her body.

"Hmm, let me think and get back to you" she pretends to think before giggling as he picks her up and throws her over his shoulder before walking towards the bedroom.

*******

"When do we have to leave?" Raine asks as she opens her mouth to bite the fruit Devilin offers her.

"When you want to"

"In that case I don't want to"

"Then we will not" he smiles as he licks the juice that slips out from the corner of her mouth.

"Ah, but we have to"

"Why?"

"I need to find Erika, she has gone missing on the way to our pack," Raine groans as she remembers it.

"Don't worry, they found her"

"What, when, where and why are you telling me this?" Raine asks at once as she sits on the bed.

"Yes, she called Enzo to tell about her whereabouts and she is in a hospital as to why I did not tell you sooner well if you remember correctly we were kind of busy doing very important things" he grins as he pulls her naked body close to him.

"Mate, stop jumping at once because I get tempted far too soon"

"Devil focus and why is she in a hospital? Was she in some accident?"

"It seems Erika accidentally found Warren's body"

"Oh" she stares at her hands sadly.

"He was unconscious and on the verge of dying but our brave aunt Erika always the savior took him to the HP and mended him, now he is healing properly" Devilin announces as he holds his mate's chin and smiles.

"You mean..."

"Warren is alive, the real one, who is your uncle and your father's best friend who will never betray your family no matter the cause" Devilin states the words softly for her as her tears flow freely from her eyes.

"Thank you" Raine cries in relief, as she did not want to believe that Warren was the one who attacked her parents.

*******

"What?" Raine whispers as her mate just keeps staring at her face, Devilin just shakes his head before kissing all over her face.

"Stop it"

"Nope"

"You are so..."

"Sexy, I know," he states making her laugh.

"I like this side of you" Raine giggles wiggling her body as she rubs herself all over him.

"Just this side huh? What about this one?" Devilin asks as he stands butt naked on the bed and poses for her making her laugh loudly at his stupidity.

"Please stop, you look so funny"

"You break my heart calling my smexy poses funny" he sighs before pulling her atop him once again.

"You know what I mean" she rubs their noses while he hums in pleasure.

Both of them just stay attached like that without a word while Raine traces her finger all over his face. When he does not say anything but keeps quiet with his eyes closed Raine speaks.

"What do you think?"

"What?"

"About what I said"

"You said a lot of things in between moaning and groaning"

"Devil, serious"

"Not with you bare above me"

"Pervert"

"Minx"

"Seriously, tell me"

"It's not an easy work but I am sure we can pull it off but I cannot be so sure about all the rogues and people who are in hiding...

It's hard to ask every being to let their scent be known it can get risky but we can try"

"Yes, it is risky but it will give us a chance to find him quicker, we do not know whose place he has taken this time and if we know the scent around us it's easier to pinpoint him"

"I get the gist but we cannot just ask everyone to just let their scent be known, remember vampires and werewolves have strong sensing noses it will irritate us a lot"

"Then what?" Raine grumbles.

*******

"I don't know...you tell me my one in a million genius mate"

"What does that even mean?"

Devilin slowly opens his eyes and smiles at her before getting up from his lying position and making her straddle his lap.

"What is Thomas's obsession?"

"How would I know?"

"Uh-uh, think...you know...if there is anyone with the answers in this house that is you"

"Miracle?"

"Yes"

"But she is sealed inside of mom"

"And"

"Oh...do you mean he will come for my mom next?" Raine grimaces at the thought.

"Think Stalker; use your greatest God given weapon....your stalking skills"

"You make it sound so weird. Anyway, Thomas's obsession is Miracle who is sealed inside of mom; everyone saw it happen so chances are he knows about it too...

Dad is now attached to mom's side so it will be difficult for anyone to pass him, and after everything Thomas is not stupid enough to try anything for the time being...

So how will he get hold of Miracle?" Raine bites on her lower lip thinking on it while Devilin just takes a deep breath and shakes his head.

"What...am I missing something?" she asks seeing his expression.

"You tell me"

"Well if you know the answer then why don't you tell me?" she shouts at him in annoyance as she folds her arms and glares at him.

"You know for someone who has hold of HP in her tiny hands you sure are stupid sometimes, such a shame"

"Devil, if you know something then tell me else stop making fun of me and anyway I am sure Thomas must have known by now that Miracle is bound with my mother's soul and if I remember correctly he did ask me to call my dragon out and...

Wait, I know Miracle and you too but Thomas never knew about Miracle, the only Miracle he knows is...

He has an obsession with me?" Raine's eyes widens, as she understands it all now.

"Now there is my little elevator Stalker" Devilin proudly claps his hands making her grumble.

"Does that mean, all this time he wanted me?"

"May be, may be not"

"If he wanted me, then why did he let me be in HP for all this time?"

"Think Stalker; think...why would he let you go every single time when he could have you so easily...

None of us has spent as much time with him as you, half of your childhood was spent around him, he was constantly with you as Eric and even when he was as Warren, he did have encounters with you...

So just think and join the dots," Devilin asks as he caresses her cheek lightly.

*******

Raine chuckles at once making Devilin raise a brow in question while she just shakes her head and keeps smiling as now she gets it all, as if a map has been made around her head she sees it all, clearly.

"May I know his reasons now?" Devilin asks, as he is sure she knows it all by the way, she was smiling at him.

"If my theory is correct, he does not have any interest in dragons. His obsession with me is recent, when Dante found me; his next target was Ariel...

If I remember correctly, he had been hidden from everyone for so long but after I met him, he joined HP and started working with me...

He was a bit surprised to see me that day, Ariel was a replacement for me, we share the same bloodline, even if I am the real Dragon master not just her any of my brothers can be used as my substitute...

We all saw how he used Ariel to open the portal, it was not so powerful to bring those mandrakes out but strong enough to let him know where they are...

When he attacked my parents and talked with me he wanted me to call my dragon out and for that, I would have to open the portal what if he was waiting for a chance to enter it.

What if it is not the dragons he is after but the whole dimension?"

"But why would he want to enter the dimension if he is not after the dragons?"

"Devil, no one has the key to the dimension except you and Drag, not your father or even Crystal...

What are the chances that he wants to rule that one scared place no one can even think or touch, he can easily come out and then hide in that place...

What if it is not me he wants or the dragon power...he fooled Aria and played her so he can get hold of Oliver but Oliver ran away and he could never get hold of him, then he tried to use my mother but it backfired...

Then he went after Ariel as my substitute, but she was not the one he was looking for, it was I unfortunately for him, I was out of his reach when Dante took me away and kept me hidden for so long that even you did not know about my existence"

Raine grabs his shoulder in excitement as she finishes explaining the things she had in mind regarding Thomas.

"Okay, your theory seems interesting but what will he gain if he had control of that dimension...what will it be of any use except for him to use it for hiding?" Devilin asks making her frown at that.

"Oh...well we will have to ask him about it" she cheekily answers making him pinch her sides.

*******

"Focus" he warns as he helps her rub her abused side.

"I am, ah so many questions and so little answers. Well do you have any theories regarding this?" she asks with a sigh.

"Well, when I first got to see in the past it was of Aria somewhat seducing Oliver's father and then them killing him when she got pregnant"

"I wonder where Aria met my great grand father; I mean she was mate to dad so why would she want to mate someone else...

Is this all not so weird to you, how did this dragon master even come from and how did Thomas and Aria met him and why did dad never hear about something like this?" she keeps questioning.

"From what I know, your father was busy with all the wars on going"

"Typical, sucks that even Crystal being the queen cannot get hold of this dimension. I wonder how many more dimensions are out there hidden?" she nibbles on her lip as she keeps thinking about it all.

"Let's not pressure your head much more for now. Come on, I will make something for us and may be later we can continue this discussion"

"But we do not have much time"

"I know, so come on food first" Devilin grins as he picks her up easily and walks towards the kitchen to make something for them.

*******

"What are you doing?" Devilin asks as he passes a cup of coffee to his mate who was writing something on a paper.

"I am trying to link Thomas"

"With?"

"Everyone"

"May I know why?"

"I just feel I am missing something very important"

"Can I know why do you feel so?"

"I just feel a little weird about this whole dimension's stuff; can you clear it out for me?" she smiles as she turns to face him.

"No problem babe. Okay so as you said there are countless dimensions in the world that many use to move to places faster...

I will start hierarchically, first Crystal, being the queen the fairy's dimension is under her control and each time she uses a portal it ends or begins with it, my family their dimensions is border line between the Angel's and human world, as we are known as the fallen angel's family...

Then comes the portals, it is a risky trick, we cannot use the same portals at once, I mean two people cannot use the same portal doors at once it's about timing"

"How many dimensions are there?" she asks curiously sliding a bit forward on her chair.

"Countless, not all of the dimensions are known to everyone. Like Drag's" he shrugs his shoulders answering her.

"Hmm"

"What?"

"I wonder if no one knew about Drag's dimension then how did Thomas know about it. I mean it has been so long that he is after the dragons but why?"

"For power?" Devilin answers with a question.

"I still feel we are missing the bigger picture in all of this" she sighs before finishing her food.

*******

"What are you thinking now?"

"I wonder how dad knew where Crystal went every night?"

"Wow, am I boring you that much that you are now thinking of such things?" Devilin asks her offended seeing her far away look.

"No, it's not that"

"Then tell me what is running in your head," he asks as Devilin walks to kneel in front of her and lightly squeezes her knee.

"I am trying to connect everything with Thomas to know what he actually wants" she takes a long deep breath.

"Go on" he encourages her as he runs his hands up and down her leg.

"Can we talk with Papa, I want to know a few things on Thomas through him," she pouts making him grin.

"Have I ever said you no on or about anything?" he teases as he gets up.

"Devil, be serious don't put dirty in my head" she scolds him while he just chuckles and picks his phone up to dial Adrian's number.

*******

"Hi Papa, how are you?"

"I am all good honey, tell me about you?" Adrian asks through the phone.

"I am happy" she grins staring at Devilin who pulls her on his lap.

"Good to hear that pup, so Devilin said you wanted to talk about a few things," he asks as he waits for Raine to talk.

"Umm well I wanted to ask you few questions about Thomas"

"Okay" Adrian agrees with a sigh.

"How did you meet him?" she asks the first question.

"On the battle field," Adrian states straightly without any back-story.

"Details"

"It's not necessary honey; just tell me what you want to know" he sighs once again which makes her know that he was not happy on the topic.

"Okay, fine Gummy bear, so I take it he was your friend who was having an affair with your girlfriend and you did not have any clue" she summarizes it all making Adrian laugh.

"You could say that"

"Okay, so I take it you have been friends with him until the day when your eyes popped open and became as saucers when you found he was the actual villain in your romance novel...

So, my next question is how close you two were?" she rolls her eyes as she turns to her grinning mate.

"I trusted him"

"How much?"

"To the point that I left my mate in his care"

"Bad decision which is good now that we can think on it else you would not have been fortunate enough to have such a genius daughter like me to grace your world...

So, seeing how he was a council you did not know about his other activities with your mate also your trust in him must have increased ten times while you were in that phase of your life where you hated the women kind, am I right"

"You always are darling"

"Good. What else should I know?"

"That he was the one who asked me if I wanted to join the Royal Army"

"That's so not Thomas"

"Ah, now that I think on it he was quiet adamant that I join the Royals, saying it would distract me from Aria and that it will do me good"

"Err...Was Thomas by chance the part of Royal Army?" she slowly pulls the words out and at this Devilin sits straight on the couch shifting her weight.

"Yes, we joined together; he was like my third eye once I was posted as the head of warrior's. Crystal was mischievous and difficult at times...

I asked him to keep an eye on her all the times, wait, Raine what is all this about again?" Adrian asks with a tight strain on his voice as he senses something in between all this conversation.

"Umm, I think I am getting a little picture of things around"

"What things?" Both Adrian and Devilin asks at once.

"So, there is this place or you can say a room in HP where everything is documented and you can say my curiousness got better of me"

"Raine"

"Stalker" both her father and mate holds a warning tone in their voice.

"Well I had nothing to do at times so I used to hack and read the articles or you can say the documented things that are how I knew about a few historical details like the fall down of the Queen...

So my next important question, how did you know where Crystal went every night especially that night?" saying it aloud she holds her breathe and awaits the dreadful answer hoping she is wrong.

"Fuck" Adrian's curse is answer enough to her answer.
