Chapter 183 - The Future

As Raine had predicted, only Dylan managed to pass the screening and subsequent interview to work at the Plumeria Island Hospital as a medical aide.

"It's alright… As long as the signals from our bugs in the mansion and Yera's phone are good, then we're all good," Raine reassured Dylan. "I'm sure Yera will be safe on the island. Just make sure you stay on high alert for any suspicious movements around her," she followed up, before then giving a few more instructions regarding his security detail.Ending the call, she then looked at Aire and said, "Are you ready? We'll be going back to Country V today."

Aire had a broad smile upon hearing the news as she said, "Of course, Mommy! I can't wait to see Daddy and the rest again."

Raine chuckled, then signaled Aire to shapeshift back into her wolf form for convenience's sake. She could always just go back to her human form once they were inside the private plane, after all. 

Taking the afternoon flight, Raine purposely didn't inform Tyrone that she would return to Country V that day. She was supposed to return tomorrow, but she eventually decided to leave earlier as planned.

Looking at the time as they boarded the plane, Raine noted that their arrival would be in the late evening. Taking advantage of their idle time, mother and daughter took the opportunity to sleep and rest during the flight. Before the sky got dark, however, Raine found herself waking up on her own. She never left Aire on the bed, electing to simply stare at her daughter as she sneaked glances at the time.

Seeing the clock tick on, she let out a relieved sigh, seeing that Aire hadn't disappeared on her. They were lucky that a blue moon hadn't appeared for tonight as well, seeing the usual darkness outside the window of the plane.

With sweet relief, Raine woke up Aire with kisses and whispered, "Get up, dear. It's time to eat dinner with Mommy first. Later, I'll let you sleep more, Sweetie."

Aire sluggish opened her eyes and murmured, "But I don't like their food here. Daddy is a better cook than them."

Raine chuckled, "They prepared some steak for you tonight. Your favorite, remember? So come and let's eat."

At the table, Raine couldn't help but ponder more about the boy Aire had marked. "So the boy is from the Convel Society. You should tell Mommy his name by now, Aire," she goaded. "You see, I'm very curious to know more about him. I Promise that Mommy won't do anything bad to him. Besides, you're already connected with him, right? Since you marked him? You will feel his emotions…"

"Yeah. That's right, Mommy," Aire blinked in deliberation. "Hmm… I guess I'll tell you his name then, Mommy. But you have to make a promise first that you won't tell Daddy his name," her daughter bargained. She didn't see the point of hiding her mate anymore. After all, her Mommy would forget about it all anyway.

The young girl waited for her mother's response, who only stared at her with narrowed eyes.

"Ah, how come you're bargaining with me like a professional?" Raine complained with snapped brows.

"I only learned from the best," Aire giggled. "But anyway, you have to promise that you won't tell it to Daddy. Or else, I won't say his name."

Knowing her mother's personality, Aire knew that she was someone who would never break a promise. She was confident that her mother would keep her mate's details from her father.

"Fine, I promise I won't tell your Daddy that he's your mate," Raine assured with a wink.

Aire's face reddened as she bashfully whispered, "Okay. His name is Regan Park."

Raine's eyes widened as she yelped in surprise, "Park? Like Decan's surname Park?"

Her daughter nodded as she added, "He's Uncle Decan's firstborn son."

"Uncle Decan?!" She barked in disbelief.

Aire opened her mouth to say more, but her mother quickly signaled her to stop. "I don't need any more details about the future, Aire!" she hissed. 

The future mother felt like her head was going to explode from the information overload. Decan was the reason his father was in a coma! And Aire was calling that man 'Uncle?' How the hell did that happen in the future?! But then, she wouldn't try to dare compromise her daughter.

Raine inwardly cursed, suddenly regretting that she even asked Aire about it. She no longer knew what to do in order to not alter the events of the future. It was of vital importance, since her daughter would suffer consequences if she was ever careless with her words.

"Uncle Decan is alive in the future. That information would surely not cause any alteration of the future, Mommy, so don't worry and keep that information I provided in mind," Aire informed, assuming what was going on inside her mother's head.

Raine smiled and nodded at her daughter's words. That was more than enough… Decan was alive, which would that mean that her father… 

She fell into deep thought. Those two were mortal enemies, so the only possible answers would be that either her father died, or if those two came into an agreement. Such a thing would be impossible knowing her father. He was burning in a fury last time, cursing Decan to the core and vowing to mercilessly kill the werewolf. That was before her father fell unconscious in her arms.

With dropped shoulders, Raine helplessly stared at Aire. It would be nice if her daughter would not face any problems in telling things about the future. Then, they could probably change a lot of things here in the past to make sure that the future would be a good one.

"I'm sorry, Mommy. You and Daddy are now in a dilemma because of my presence here," Aire murmured as she bit her lip.

Seeing her girl in distress, Raine sighed deeply before pulling Aire into her arms as she comforted, "No, Sweetie. I'm honestly happy and grateful to know about your existence. Don't worry too much about me or Daddy. We're just, you know, a bit delighted. It's just that processing these bits of information from the future and somehow connecting it to the current events here are taking a lot out of us…" 

She let out an assuring chuckle as to not make Aire worry. She then added, "I guess everything will unfold soon. I just have to move along with planning things as I used to do."

"Right, Mommy. You can do it," Aire winked with a tear in her eye. "You and Daddy will do well in the future."

Raine laughed, "You know I hate sad endings, right? So I just hope that you're right. Anyway, go and finish dinner so that you can sleep more after."

She really hated sad endings, so she could only hope that things would turn out well in the end.
