Chapter 218: Chapter 218 I’ll wait for you
Kyra threw the shuttlecock gently to Vinecnt, who returned it with surprising ease. His movements were fluid and graceful, each hit precise and controlled. He looked incredibly handsome as he played, his focus and concentration making him seem even more charming.
"You’re a natural," Kyra said, impressed.
Vinecnt shrugged modestly, "Just following your instructions."
They continued to rally back and forth, Vinecnt growing more comfortable with each hit.
Kyra, however, was not having as much luck. Despite her best efforts, she kept slipping on the snow and missing the shuttlecock.
At one point, Kyra slipped and fell again, landing softly in the snow. Lucas, Damon, and Vinecnt rushed to her side.
Damon reached out first and offered his hand. "Here, let me help you," he said, pulling her up gently. As Kyra stood, she stumbled again and fell against Damon’s chest. He caught her, his strong arms steadying her. "Careful now," he said softly, his eyes meeting hers.
Kyra’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up at Damon, their faces just inches apart. She could feel the warmth of his breath against her cold skin.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked, his concern evident.
Kyra laughed, her cheeks flushed from the cold and exertion. "I’m fine, just clumsy," she said with a smile.
"Are you okay, Rainbow? I’m sorry," Vincent said, stepping in and placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I’m fine. I’m done playing. Maybe you and Damon can play together," Kyra said, glancing at Damon, who nodded and took the racket from her hands.
Vincent and Damon exchanged intense glances, the air thick with tension.
Kyra stood next to her camerawolf, Lucas.
Vincent and Damon faced each other on the snowy ground, their eyes locked in a fierce competition. The air around them felt charged with energy as they readied themselves.
Damon stood tall, his grip on the racket firm. He moved quickly, his strong arms sending the shuttlecock flying with powerful force. Every time Vincent returned the shuttlecock, Damon had to be on his toes, ready for the next hit.
Vincent was equally determined. His dark hair flew in the cold wind as he raced around, his red eyes focused on Damon. With each swing, he returned the shuttlecock with speed and precision, making sure Damon had to work hard to keep up.
The game was intense, with neither of them backing down. They played hard, their movements quick and their shots powerful. The cold air mixed with their breaths, visible as they pushed each other to their limits.
Kyra and Lucas watched from the sidelines. Kyra was amazed at how serious and skilled both of them were becoming.
The game felt more like a real battle, with both players giving their all.
As the match continued, neither Damon nor Vincent showed any sign of giving up. They played with all their energy, making every moment exciting and full of action.
As Damon and Vincent continued their intense match, Lucas, holding the phone and recording, called out with a sigh, "When is my turn going to come?" He made a crying face, drawing laughter from Kyra.
Kyra laughed, shaking her head as she watched Lucas’s antics. "You’ll get your chance soon enough," she said, trying to suppress her smile.
Lucas turned back to the match, his eyes wide with mock concern. "I’m just worried they’re going to break the racket before I even get a swing!"
Vincent and Damon stopped mid-action, exchanging glances.
Vincent, wiping sweat from his forehead, tossed the racket towards Lucas.
Lucas caught it with an exaggerated flourish and gave the phone back to Kyra. Before Vincent could react, Lucas dashed over to his side, ready to play.
With a playful shout, Lucas declared, "Alright, it’s my turn now!"
Soon, Lucas and Damon started playing. The match wasn’t as intense, but Lucas, with his wolf agility and strength, held his own. Each time he hit the shuttlecock, he couldn’t resist striking a pose, as if he were in a dramatic sports movie.
"Did you see that, Kyra? Perfect form!" Lucas called out after a particularly flashy hit, striking a triumphant pose.
"Luca, it’s not a photoshoot!" Kyra laughed, as Damon send the shuttlecock flying back over to Lucas.
Unfazed, Lucas dove to hit it back, landing in yet another exaggerated stance. "Just adding a little flair to the game!"
Kyra couldn’t stop giggling as she recorded the whole situation.
"So happy," Vinecnt muttered near her ear, his arm slipping around her waist.
"Extremely happy and sad," Kyra replied, her eyes lingering on Damon and Lucas as they played.
Vinecnt raised an eyebrow. "Why, rainbow? Everything seems fine."
"No..." Kyra stopped recording and turned to face him. "You’re going to hibernate tonight, which means I won’t see you for a long time. Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt so much, Vins! We’ve already been apart for so long, and now again..." Tears welled up in her eyes.
Vinecnt pulled her into a tight hug. "Then I won’t go."
"No... You have to go. I can’t be selfish and risk your health," Kyra said, hugging him back and inhaling his familiar scent. His body, as always, was cold against her warmth.
"My rainbow..." He kissed the top of her head. "Winter is only about a month and a half away from finishing. I’m just sad because I wanted to spend my hibernation in our house nest that you prepared. But sadly... not everything goes according to our plans," he muttered, holding her tighter.
"We’ll make up for lost time," he whispered slowly in his magnetic and deep voice. "When I wake up, we’ll have spring and summer together. Every moment will be ours."
Kyra’s tears soaked into his shirt, but she managed a small smile. "I know, but it still hurts."
Vinecnt tilted her chin up, looking deeply into her eyes. "You’re my strength, rainbow. Knowing you’re here, waiting for me, makes it bearable. I’ll dream of you, and when I wake, we’ll have all the time in the world."
She nodded, wiping her tears away. "I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes."
Vinecnt kissed her forehead tenderly. "And I’ll come back to you, as always."
