Rain was just finishing up with Pete as she heard the rest of the men walk into the house. Smiling a little at Pete's bragging, she couldn't help but chuckle quietly to herself as the rest of the boys groaned. Moving to the kitchen, Rain washed Pete's blood off of her hands thoroughly and looked over her shoulder at Tyler as he came in. Butterflies erupted in her stomach as she caught his scent even through all the blood covering his body, both from his own injuries and injuries he had caused others. As Kaden followed Tyler inside, she could sense that something was off by the way the rest of the boys watched him leave and started to become confused. Moving away from the sink to stand next to Tyler, she gently brushed her hand against his.<br/><br/>"Take a seat Tyler, let me see about getting you patched up," Rain murmured to him, pausing to glance up at the stairs where Kaden had disappeared to, "He will be fine, I'm sure of it." she finished, smiling up at her mate before motioning towards the nearest chair. As the boys complained about no dinner, Rain laughed a little bit and cleared her throat. "Well if you all quit complaining and go get yourselves cleaned up, I'll see what I can do about dinner," she said to them, fitting in the role of alpha's mate quite nicely. Rummaging through the fridge, she took out a couple of pounds of ground beef and set it out on the counter as well as a few other fresh ingredients. The boys would have to be happy with hamburgers tonight.<br/><br/>Glancing back up the stairs, Rain wondered how Tex was holding up by herself. For a moment, she thought about going to see her, but she knew her sister would be okay a little longer by herself. Right now, she had a mate to take care of. Pulling up a chair to sit next to Tyler, she looked up into his eyes. "What did you do with the other four?" she asked, wanting to make sure there wasn't a way in hell the four of them would be causing trouble later. Setting to work on Tyler's stomach wound first, she made sure to clean it thoroughly before stitching up the deeper bites.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Tex's eyes snapped open as she heard the squeak of a floorboard outside of her room, staring hard at the handle of the door as she waited. Waited for either the door to come open or someone to say something. But the shadow of the person standing outside her door moved off after a few moments. Slowly starting to relax, Tex curled up beneath the blankets in the corner of her bed and listened to all the noise from the men downstairs.<br/><br/>Smiling in amusement as she heard her sister's voice. Rain always had been the motherly type, always taking care of others before herself. That's why she was going to make such a great alpha and now, still would. Resigning herself to having to wait a bit longer, Tex curled up tightly and closed her eyes, the faint scent of her mate next door helping her to fall asleep.
