Chapter 169 - See You Soon

Raine woke up with a radiant smile, the relaxing sound of nature ushering in the new morning. Gently opening her eyes, her smile widened even further upon seeing Aire snuggling next to her. She still couldn't believe that she would have a very adorable daughter like Aire. Yet, she was feeling ecstatic with how her future unfolds, wondering if she would end up with Tyrone after every turbulence that they might encounter in the future. Would their future together see this kind of light? She still felt everything was a dream ever since she discovered Aire's identity.

"So cute," she whispered, giving her daughter a gentle kiss on her forehead. 

However, her smiles quickly faded when she recalled the ordeal the girl had to face as soon as she came back to her own time. With that thought in her head, Raine carefully and silently moved so as not to wake her up, rising up from her spot and going out of the tent.

As expected, Tyrone was already awake. The sun was yet to rise, but he was already standing there, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountain. Raine quietly approached him and snaked her arms around his waist, lovingly pressing herself on his back as she murmured, "You always wake up early. And I feel so sticky..."

Tyrone chuckled,  placing his arms over hers as he replied, "We'll just have a quick breakfast then. We can head to the waterfalls right after so you can wash up properly." He then turned around to face her before hugging her tightly. "This feels nice," he whispered, savoring the pleasing scent still lingering within her.

With a hungry sniff, he mumbled into her neck, "I want to mark you, Raine… Marr-"

Raine didn't let him finish his sentence, however. As always… Raine stopped him from talking by kissing him on the lips. She then let him go and whispered, "I'm hungry. What are we having for breakfast, Mr. Jack-of-all-trades?"

Tyrone could only sigh as Raine pulled him down to the blanket on the ground. "I  guess I'll make you some hot chocolate," he whispered. 

Raine let out an amused scoff as she quickly grabbed her phone to make herself look so busy. Last night, Tyrone had also tried mentioning him marking her. He almost went on about marriage too, but she kept on stopping him from voicing those thoughts. She only hoped that Tyrone wouldn't push it further at the moment. She was really not just ready for that kind of commitment. If anything, she was just buying time to leisurely spend with him for the remaining borrowed time they had left…

Looking at her screen, she frowned upon seeing the several missed call alerts on her notifications.

"Raine, I-" 

"What happened to Boris?"

Tyrone stopped himself as he heard Raine suddenly speak to her mobile phone. 'Did something happen?'

"Boss, he's still unconscious. Levi and I believe that the bracelet is having some harmful side effects on him, but we can't decide on whether to remove it or not," Mia reported with a worried tone.

"How is that even possible when we already removed any traces of silver in that bracelet... Send me his vitals," Raine instructed. With a ding on her phone, she received the relevant information she needed. Quickly analyzing it, she instructed, "Remove the bracelet. Damn that werewolf… I can't believe this."

Tyrone looked at her screen and asked, "What is it?"

"It seems like he was having an allergic reaction from the bracelet attached to him," Raine shook her head in disbelief. "So pure-blooded werewolves like him can also have some allergies?" 

"Levi's removing it now, Boss," Mia informed.

"Got it. I'll send you some prescriptions. Buy the correct dosage and administer it to him," Raine ordered, partly switching into her doctor persona as she spoke. "Let's see if it will work on him since I'm not sure if human medicines would be effective on his body. If symptoms still persist beyond an hour after administration, call me… I will have to consult Janus about it," she finished up before eventually ending the call.

"Janus? Is he familiar with werewolves? If you want, I know someone who could help," Tyrone offered. "A friend, of course. He's a werewolf but also a medical practitioner… He surely knows better than Janus since most werewolves come to him for treatment."

Raine gave him a cunning smile as she said, "Darling, do you trust me that much to even introduce me to another mutant? I bet he won't like meeting me…"

"I trust you, Raine. Stop with this nonsense of poking me about you being a hunter because no matter what, I will always have your back," Tyrone declared with finality. "We will solve this issue you're having together. So please, let's talk about us seriously…"

"Yeah, and I told you that we'll do it after Xander's case, right?" she rebuffed him. "You can tell me everything you want to say once we wrap this case up. Right now, I'm not ready for any sort of distractions. We both need to focus on saving that man's life. You yourself wanted to save him, right?"

There was only a loud sigh before Tyrone nodded. He knew that the longer he waited, the heavier the burden became in his heart. However, he still understood Raine's point of view.

"Now about that mole, Shane Li... I'll let her enter the Moon Clan with ease. You just make sure that she won't get caught once we come back to country V, okay?" Raine decided, giving the man an agreeing nod. "Let's keep her safe from Uncle's grasp."

"Good morning, Mommy! Daddy!"

Upon hearing the cheerful greeting, Raine and Tyrone turned to look at Aire. The girl had already woken up as she walked towards them.

"Wow, the sun is rising! It's so beautiful watching it with my parents like this," Aire smiled as she sat beside her mother. "You two have been so busy lately that we weren't able to go out often on family outings," Aire informed as she sat beside her mother.

Seeing the two getting comfortable with each other, Tyrone prepared the hot chocolate for both of her girls, as well as some sandwiches to serve as their breakfast. Laying them all out, they ate together, having great conversations like real family would. Soon after, Raine approached Tyrone to help him wrap their stuff up.

"It's okay. I'll do it. Just play with Aire. I'll be finished here soon," Tyrone said with a wink. 

Raine chuckled as she shook her head. She then leaned closer and gave him a peck on his lips before walking towards her daughter.

"Mommy, are we going to the waterfalls now?" Aire happily asked.

"Yup!" Raine answered excitedly, arranging Aire's hair in a bun like she did with her own hair.

"Tonight… I might disappear at any moment once the blue moon shows. Can we all sleep together in one bed later?" Aire weakly asked. She then turned to Raine and added, "Time flies so fast… Soon, you'll meet me again as you hold me in your arms, Mommy, till then… See you soon..." Aire commented with a sigh. If her calculations were correct, the Voyager's Watch would bring her back to her time when the blue moon showed, and according to her research, it was tonight. But she wished for some delays if possible since she was having fun watching how her parents' love story developed.

"I hope there's no blue moon tonight, Mommy. I don't want to go back yet." Aire murmured

Seeing her distress, Raine pulled Aire in for a warm embrace, kissing her Aire on the forehead as she whispered, "Yeah, I will see you soon, Sweetie. This is far from being a goodbye…"

Tyrone could hear the conversation of Raine and Aire while he was wrapping up the tent. He couldn't hold the anticipation in his smiles. Based on Aire's age, Raine would get pregnant around this year. They would probably know about it next month once Raine missed her monthly period.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Raine commented with snapped brows, noticing how Tyrone was staring at her and Aire with an ear-to-ear smile.

"Ah, just thinking if we managed to, you know… Have Aire this month," Tyrone murmured with a grin. Flustered, Raine crumpled her face and scoffed, "Stop thinking about those and quickly pack up everything so we can take a dip now to the waterfalls."

Tyrone only laughed and no longer teased Raine. He still had a lot of available time to spare to shower Raine's womb with his seeds and secure Aire's existence in the future… Then Umbriel… The twins and many more!

Raine shook her head as she sneaked glances at Tyrone once in a while. He was still smiling alone while he was packing.

'He looks so excited about having children. I'm sure he will make a good father in the future…' Raine mused with a loving glance at Tyrone.. Maybe she deserved a happy ending too, like how other ordinary people do.
