Chapter 2 FEMALE ALPHA
" What do you mean by that ?" Haven turned as her eyes landed on Tristan's face looking for answers. Tristan looked away unable to meet her gaze.
It was Mika, her best friend who answered her , a defiant look on her face.
" Father said you have to leave the pack, girl" She smirked as she crossed her hands over her chest.
Haven turned to look at her father's old Beta which was also Mika's father.
" How could you do this to me?" She growled
===============
Haven was the only daughter of Alpha Brian and Lucia of the Silver Moon Pack. The old Alpha never had a son, so he had train his daughter to be a very strong young girl. At the age of 17, she was basically the strongest of the werewolves in her pack, with Alpha blood running through her veins.
Haven lost her parents in a fight that broke out between her pack and some rogues. She later took control of her pack becoming a female Alpha.
" Haven when do you think we'll finally get our mates?" Mika her childhood best friend asked as she helped arranged Haven's long hair.
"Your hair's all tangled, what did you do?" She whined as she struggled to straighten her best friend's hair.
Haven blushed as she heard this. The events of last night flooded into her mind as her face turned beet red. Mika noticed this as she stopped to look at her friend who was blushing hard.
" Why are you blushing ? Oh Selene did something happen" She asked as she continued brushing the hair. Haven slightly nodded as she looked around to make sure no one was close by to hear what she wanted to say.
When she was sure no one was around, she dragged Mika to her bed.
" Don't tell anyone okay? " She blushed as she continued " Well.. Well last night... Tristan and I...we mated." She finally said as she close her face with her palms.
Mika's heart fell as she heard this. How could this happen... No this was impossible right. She always knew Tristan had a thing for the old Alpha's daughter but she didn't think he would take it this far.
No impossible! Tristan was hers. He belonged to only her!
Haven missed Mika's expression as she shyly hid her face. When she heard nothing, she peeked to look at Mika.
" What's wrong? You're not saying anything . Are you not happy for me?" Haven asked innocently.
Happy? Oh Selene! Mika wished she could strangle Haven right there and then. She loved Tristan first. She had loved him ever since they were kids. How dare Haven do this to her!
First she stole the spotlight from her. It was always Haven Haven Haven, Haven this , Haven that. Everyone adores Haven.
Why not her? What was so different about Haven? Even she was beautiful and strong too. Why didn't Tristan choose her?
" But Haven why didn't you tell me all this before? Tristan isn't your mate!"
'He's Mine' she wanted to say but kept quiet.
" We never know for sure, I mean by my next birthday , we'll all get to know our mates and who knows maybe Tristan is mine." Haven blushed.
" Besides , I've liked Tristan for a long time now..he was always my crush. I can't believe he likes me too. He said we should wait till I'm eighteen before he'll mark me" Haven squealed happily. Mika gave her a half hearted smile as she held her hands.
" I'm happy for you Haven." She said before she left the room. Her heart ached as she headed to the only place she could think of right now.
Tristan shifted into his human form as he returned from his hunt. The other warriors all greeted him as he headed to his room. He was tired , he planned to freshen up and then go meet Haven, his love. He smiled as he remembered his confession last night. Haven was the only woman he wanted, he fancied her since they were children but he never had the courage to speak up till last night....
He entered his small room, Haven's scent still lingered from last night's event. He couldn't wait to see her tonight.
He went to bathe and soon came out wearing a towel. He picked up a scent and turned to meet Haven's friend, Mika standing by the door.
" What are you doing here Mika?" He asked as he went to grab some clothes. He grew up together with Mika and had always considered her a sister. Mika's father, the old Beta had brought him to Silver Moon Pack when he was just a cub. He had just lost his parents in a rogue attack and ever since he had been in debted to him. He saved his life.
Mika closed the room as she entered. Tristan who had just picked up a shirt , turned to look at her, raising his eye brows.
" What's up Mika? " He asked as she stood right before him. Tristan narrowed his eyes as he saw her begin removing her clothes.
" What are you doing?!" He half yelled as he moved back.
" Mate with me" She said as she removed her top and threw it on the bed.
" Please Tristan, be mine" She said moving closer. Tristan growled as her hands landed on his naked chest. He pushed her away and picked up her top.
" Wear this and stop whatever you're trying to do" He said sternly, flinging the top at her face. Mika flared up as she saw this. How dare he reject her?
" You must love me Tristan, you must!" She yelled.
Tristan narrowed his eyes before bursting out in laughter.
" You're like a sister to me, I'm sorry Mika but I've told you, stop this madness please. This is childishness"
" It's because of her right? Haven? You're rejecting me because of Haven ?" Mika said sadly.
" I'm in love with Haven and you know that. Please leave me alone Mika, for Selene's sake" Tristan sighed.
" I'll see how far you can go for your love" Mika chuckled. Tristan's eyes turned black as he looked at Mika who wore her cloth slowly.
" What do you mean?" He asked in a low growl.
" I'll kill her, I'll kill your lovely Haven if you don't do as I say. You owe my father and it's time you finally repay him" Mika said as she smirked deviously.
================
"How could you do this to me?" Haven growled as she looked at the Old Beta.
" I'm your Alpha, you can't kick me out of my own pack! Silver Moon Pack belongs to me!" She rightfully stated.
" No one made you Alpha" Mika interjected as she stood before Haven.
" And this is no more Silver Moon Pack! From today this is Black Moon pack and he is your new Alpha" Mika smirked as she moved for Tristan to step up. Tristan looked at Haven with sad eyes. There was nothing he could do right now.
Haven's heart broke as she heard this. Tristan betrayed her? she blinked back the tears threatening to fall as she walked towards him. A hard slap landed on his face as soon as she reached him.
" How dare you do this Tristan?! How dare you betray me like this?! After..after everything we shared this is how you repay me?" She asked as her heart broke.
" What did you share?!" Mika growled as she stepped in front of Tristan. Haven's eyes boiled with anger as she looked at the one person she had trusted the most, smirk deviously at her.
" We all shared something special " Mika said as she showed her neck, revealing Tristan's mark indicating she was his Luna now. Haven subconsciously stepped back as she saw this.
" Arrest her!!!" She dared to slap your new Alpha!!" The old Beta commanded as dozens of warriors attacked Haven. Haven's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Tristan one last time before shifting into her silver wolf. She couldn't stay here and fight . She couldn't fight her own people.
She dashed into the forest leaving her beloved pack behind.
=============
Haven ran for hours, her beautiful silver wolf glistened beautifully in the moonlight.
She ran throughout the night as she tried to escape from the pain she was feeling. By morning, she was tired and sore. Her wolf slowed down as she walked into a large clearing.
" Woah who do we have here?" A male voice said forcing her to turn, her guard up. At that moment, dozens of rogue surrounded her, all men"
" She is beautiful" One said.
" Another rogue wolf? This one's a female" someone chipped in. They all lust after the beautiful wolf in front of them.
" Come with us darling, we'll keep you safe" One said as the others burst into laughter.
Haven snarled angrily baring her sharp fangs at them.
" This one is hot, seems like we should have some fun first guys" A rogue said as he shifted. The others too followed suit as they all shifted into their huge wolves. Most of the rogues were gray. Others had light and dark brown fur.
Baring their fangs at Haven, they leapt in the air as they attacked her.
Haven fought ruthlessly clawing and biting the wolves around her. Being an Alpha, she was slightly bigger than other normal female wolves. She was almost as big as the rogue wolves attacking her.
Haven sank her fangs on one of the rogues neck. Throwing him away, she dodged another's bite as she clawed his face sending him whining in pain. She clawed and bit anyone who dared to approach her , leaving a trail of blood where ever she went.
Blood stained her beautiful silver fur as she attacked ruthlessly , injuring most of the rogues. More and more rogues entered the field as they attacked her. The more Haven fought, the weaker she became.
Haven knew it was just a matter of time before she got pin down.
A wolf sneaked up on her as he managed to claw her side. Haven let out a painful snarl as some of the wolves snickered. They enjoyed seeing her in pain.
Haven bit the neck of the wolf as she threw him at the remaining of the wolves. He crashed into them sending them falling backwards.
Haven made a run for it. This was her chance. She dashed into the forest, trying to runaway from the rogues who were hot on her trail.
After an hour of running, Haven's wolf was exhausted as she shifted back to her human form. She tried cleaning herself as she put on her clothes which was now mostly turned to rags.
She looked around trying to know where she was. She had now ended up in another clearing.
The forest was so huge, she must have gotten lost. Haven turned to go when her eyes caught something, no someone. A man laid at the middle of the clearing, he appeared dead.
Haven's curiosity got the best of her as she she slowly approached the stranger. She gasped as she saw him, his body was surrounded by pool of blood.
" How come he's alone in this big forest?" Haven asked as she crouched down to take a closer look at the stranger. He was bleeding from his neck. She could see the wound heal slowly.
Haven shrugged as she stood up to leave, the rogues were still behind her. They could show up any minute. She turned and started walking away but suddenly stopped as she looked back again.
She couldn't leave this poor man alone to die. Haven sighed as she came back crouching to feel his pulse. He was still breathing.
Haven tore a piece of her cloth as she gently wiped the blood away. She cleaned the area around the wound before throwing the cloth away. Her eyes landed on his smooth muscles as her hand subconsciously traced his well groomed abs.
"What are you doing Haven, focus!" She chided herself as she realized she got carried away with his attractive body.
She tore another one as she raised the man's head a little trying to tie the wound to help speed up the healing process.
The man let out a low grunt as he slowly opened his eyes.
Haven had not really paid attention to his face till he felt the man move his hand gently.
She raised her eyes to meet the man who stared back at her. Haven's breath hitched in her throat as their eyes met. She had never seen a man as handsome as him all her life. The intensity in those black eyes made her freeze as she couldn't help but stare back.
Her hands stopped moving as the both of them stared at each other. Time seemed to have slowed down as Haven's eyes darted to his slightly parted lips.
=========
Lucious felt someone pull him up as something rubbed on his neck. He had passed out due to lack of strength and the wound on his neck which healed slower than usual. He had already mind–linked his Beta when he regained consciousness the other time and had just closed his eyes to rest when he heard the grass beneath him moved slightly. Someone crouched down beside him as soft hands reached for his pulse. The person soon sat down as a piece of clothing was used to clean blood off his wound.
Too tired to talk or even move, Lucious laid there, his eyes closed as he allowed the person continue what he was doing. He could feel the intruder wasn't a threat to him.
His wound had almost closed in when he finally decided to open his eyes. His eyes landed on a beautiful young girl before him. Her pale skin contrasted with her long silver hair which shone beautifully under the morning sun. The girl soon stopped what she was doing as she looked up to meet his gaze.
That was the moment everything stopped, he felt as if the whole world came to a stand still as his eyes stared at the most beautiful blue eyes he has ever seen.
Chapter 3 THE ROGUERaphael's brown wolf finally burst into an opening clearing. He shifted back to his human form, looking around for his Alpha. He was sure this was the place Lucious had told him.The beta had been in the pack house, doing some work when he received an emergency message from the Alpha. He dashed out into the forest, mind–linking other warriors to follow suit.Raphael didn't have to look around for long as he soon sighted the Alpha. Bit what he saw made him let out a small growl.Not too far away, Raphael could see the Alpha lying on the ground with a " not properly dressed " girl beside him. Raphael face soon pulled into a frown as he saw the girl's hand seemingly roaming over the Alpha's.Raphael's blood began to boil. That girl was most definitely a rogue. His brown eye's turned black as they darted between the girl and his injured Alpha on the ground.Thinking it was the rogue girl who had attacked the Alpha , the beta let out a low snarl as he stepped forward ,
Chapter 4 IMPRISON HERHaven felt her hands ache from the bound the stranger put on her. Her legs already ached from all the walk through the forest.The stranger walked in front of her while his so called " Beta" was behind her, pushing her to hurry up every now and then. They stepped out of the forest, passing by some guards at the entrance gate as they headed in.Haven gasped as a beautiful view greeted her eyes. The sun was already setting, illuminating the beautiful pack village before her. Various men and women walked around doing one thing or the other. Young children ran about playing and shouting as they headed home. They all bowed their heads, a sign of respect as the stranger kept walking deeper into the village.Occasionally , some would stop to stare in disgust at the girl behind their Alpha. They knew she was a rogue by her scent as she passed by.The pack members all stared at the beautiful rogue girl their Alpha brought with him. Why had their Alpha brought along with
Chapter 5 STAY WITH MEAshley stomped angrily into the the dark dungeon, her heels clicking on the floor. Her footsteps echoed as she walked towards a certain cell.Who was this woman who wanted to take her Alpha away from her? How dare this bitch!She was definitely going to teach her a lesson.Ashley was Beta Raphael's only younger sister. She had always had feelings for Alpha Lucious, but he never gave her his attention.In fact , he despised women. His Luna was the only exception. Now that the Luna was gone, it was her time to shine. Lady luck was finally smiling upon her but now this stupid rogue had to come and ruin everything.Holding a bucket of water in her hands, she appeared at the rogue's cell and immediately emptied the content, drenching her.The rogue woke up with a start. Her expression soon turned to that of anger as she growled at Ashley." Wow...she really is beautiful" Ashley murmured to herself as she saw her. No wonder the Alpha didn't want to kill her." How dar
Chapter 6 NIGHTMAREIt was already evening when Lucious arrived at his floor after he was done with his work for the day. He walked into his gloomy apartment, heading straight to his room as usual when he suddenly stopped. His nose picked up a foreign scent.He scrunched his eyebrows, as he kept walking, his instinct leading him to one of the rooms in the floor.Lucious unlocked the door, pushing it gently as his eyes landed on someone curled up on the floor in the middle of the room. It was the rogue girl.How could he forget? He had been so caught up with work that he forgot he had asked for the rogue girl to be locked up in his floor. Without realizing it, his feet moved on it's own as he walked towards the girl.He crouched down beside her as his hands gently reached out, brushing aside the silver hair which had covered her face. Her sleeping face came into view, with her lips slightly parted as she breathed. A few bruises were visible here and there on her face and she looked re
Chapter 7 KILLED HERLucious looked down at the girl beneath him as he saw the life slowing leaving her body.He had been asleep, caught up in his own nightmares where his wife betrayed him over and over again. He re lived that horrible scene over and over till the pain turned into anger. He wanted to kill her. He wanted to kill them all.His wolf was livid as he opened his eyes, picking up a rogue scent. His eyes landed on a rogue hovering on top of him. His hands flew straight to the rogue's neck. Natasha must have sent the rogue. He won't spare them.He pinned the rogue down as his hands clamped down on her, squeezing her neck as she struggled beneath him. She gasped, scratching his hands viciously, as she tried to escape but he didn't let go. He pressed harder, slowly squeezing the life out of her.Her efforts became weaker and weaker as she soon stopped struggling. Her weak hands fell to her side as she gasped for air loudly, her chest rising and falling heavily as tears began
Chapter 8 YOU'RE AWAKE" She's still alive" The healer finally said as Lucious let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. He felt like he had been standing there for ages, waiting for the healer to tell him the rogue girl was okay." Will she be fine?" He suddenly voiced out before he could stop himself.Lucious wanted to face palm himself immediately the words left his mouth. 'What the fuck is wrong with me?' He said to himself as he looked at the two people who stared back at him with eyes full of surprise.Raphael and Dayna's heads swiftly turned to look at him, eyes wide with surpriseDayna blinked her eyes a couple of time trying to make sure she hadn't misheard him.Since when did the Alpha start expressing his feelings openly?She looked at Raphael who stood there, surprise equally etched on his face . His lips were slightly open as he looked at the Alpha.'What the fuck was happening right now?'Lucious had always been the "no nonsense type of Alpha" . He was so
Chapter 9 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ALPHA?Today marks the fifth day since he had her to the healer. She still hadn't opened her eyes even once.Lucious had been with her throughout the first two days, refusing to leave her side even for a minute.Raphael had finally gotten him to leave as he had lots of work to do.Reluctantly, Lucious left the healer's house and came back. He still went there every night to checkup on the rogue.Lucious spent these last few days asking himself why he suddenly felt that way towards her.What was this feeling he felt when ever he looked at her?Why couldn't he take his eyes off of her?Why did that rogue girl affect him so much?He had so many questions but he couldn't find even an answer to anyone of them.He hated himself for inflicting so much pain on her.Lucious yelled in frustration as he banged his hands on the table before him. A huge hole was formed as he fists connected on the table." Dammit!!" He cursed as he saw the damage he had done.Lucious
Chapter 10 COULD IT BE ?" What do you mean by you can't find her?" He growled at the warriors in front of him who all had their heads bowed." Alpha, we had searched the whole forest. We couldn't find a single trace of her. They was no scent too" A warrior said earning a snarl from the Alpha." Do you want to tell me she just disappeared into thin air? Is Haven some sort of magician or something?" Tristan growled angrily at them." Find her, else I'd have all of your heads!!" He banged the table before him.Warriors shuddered as they head this. Their Alpha was certainly going berserk.=============" So you're telling me she has lost her voice?!" Lucious asked, shocked at what Dayna had just told him."Yes Alpha, Her vocals has really been damaged and her being scared only made matters worst. I don't know if she'll ever get her voice back again" Dayna replied her eyes on the girl who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.' Poor girl' Dayna thought. Lucious stood there in silence as he
LOST CAUSE Lucious stretched his tired body, rolling his neck from side to side to loosen the kinks there. His enchanting ocean blue eyes now looked hollow and tired as he stared at the document in front of him, unthinking and unseeing. His eyes glanced at his wrist watch quickly before he flipped the document closed. He grabbed some paperwork and began signing on them once more, yawning a little with eyes glued on what he was doing. Kai soon walked in carrying some more paper work and walked to the Alpha's table. “ Here are all the reports we've received from all the Alphas like you've ordered”. He said setting them down. “ There's one missing, it hasn't gotten here yet”. “ Which one?” Lucious finally raised his head to look at his Gamma before returning to his work. “ The New Moon Pack's. There’s no news from them”. Kai answered. “ New Moon?” Lucious pack formed a while back?” “ Yes.. Maybe it got caught up or something”. “ I sent the word out three days back. That’s enough
GO TO HIMThe evening sun casted long shadows on the ground, its slanting rays giving a warm orange tinge to the sky as Rosie dragged Haven out of another shop yet again. Excitement swirled in her eyes as they walked down, mixing with the little crowd all heading in different directions. Most of the people seem to be going in the direction Haven and Rosie were coming from though, which made her a little curious. A few of them gave Rosie weird looks every now and then. They hadn't seen her around here before and didn’t smell like one of them either. The way she pulled and dragged their Luna through the crowd made them stare even longer.‘ Who was this strange woman?’ Was the question on all of their minds but none said a word. The Luna looked relaxed around her so they knew she wasn’t a threat.“ Haven, why are they all.. staring at me like that?” Rosie asked a bit uncomfortable from the odd looks she was receiving. “ This is probably the first time they’re seeing you, so its normal
LET'S GO SHOPPING Immediately Rosie heard those words coming from Haven, she shrieked so loud that Haven had to cover her ears. Her eyes grew three times bigger and her jaw dropped.“ What?!” She screeched, grabbing a hold of Haven's hands. “ What did you just say? wait.. no.. say it again, say that again. My ears.. I don’t think I heard you clearly”. Haven looked down, the smile on her face morphing into a huge grin. “ I said, r I am in love with Lucious, I really do love him Rosie”.Rosie shrieked and pulled Haven into a big hug. She jumped up and down, laughing and clapping like a child who’s been given its favorite sweet. She couldn’t believe it! Haven had finally confessed her feelings for the Alpha. Now, everything will fall back in place. Rosie was so happy she couldn’t stop giggling and jumping. She didn’t even listen to anything Haven was saying as she squealed in excitement. Kai would be so happy if he heard this for sure. These two love birds will finally get their hap
IN LOVE WITH THE ALPHAHaven's eyes flew open the moment she said those words. Her size of her eyes were like those of a child who was promised to be taken on a trip to a park but the trip ended up being cancelled at the last minute. They kept expanding without her blinking even once. Her fingers pressed against her gaping mouth in shock of what she had just said.She couldn’t believe it.Did she?Did she just admit to being in love with.. Lucious?Haven's legs quivered and she bit down on her lips as she gaped at the mirror. Her other self was gone. Now , she saw herself, eyes wide open in disbelief. Her hands moved to clutch her chest and she felt her heart beating wildly.“ D– did I.. Did I just.. just say that,” Haven trailed off not believing it herself. “ I– I love him?” Her heart skipped a beat and she gasped as if the realization was just hitting her now.“ I love him?” She asked again but this time, it was more of a confirmation than a question. “ I'm in love with Lucious”.
HER OTHER SELFHaven blinked, staring into the mirror with an expression of both shock and confusion written all over her face. She couldn’t believe it!Had she really gone mad? Her eyes blinked rapidly trying to discern what was happening as she stared at the woman who stared back with a smile.Beautiful was an understatement to describe the features of this woman. She wore a simple white top and a pair of blue jeans which hugged her hourglass figure perfectly. Her almond eyes were as beautiful as the blue sky and her silver hair was packed in a pony tail as usual, the tip stopping right above her waist line. Her porcelain skin glimmered as she stood there staring back at Haven.“ Are you trying to run away again?” The figure suddenly spoke up making Haven gasp and take a step back. Okay, now Haven was sure she’s certainly lost it!“ How much longer do you want to run?” Haven heard her ask again but no words left her lips. The look of shock on her face was now replaced with one of co
RESTLESS HAVEN.Rosie subconsciously swallowed, her hands holding onto her stomach. She never realized she was this hungry still the sweet aroma filled her senses completely. Her eyes were fixed on Kai who had his back faced to her. She watched him make his way skillfully around the kitchen as he quickly tried to cook up something for her.Her heart warmed at the thought. This wasn't the first time she was seeing Kai cooking but someone it always managed to stir up something within her. She felt herself loving him even more. To top it all, Kai's cooking skills were top notch. He was a far better cook than her. In fact, Rosie wasn’t sure she knew anyone who could cook as well as he does. It left her wondering how he was so good at it.Her stomach growled again causing her to grimace slightly. Couldn’t it be a little more patient? She groaned, praying he finish up whatever he was cooking fast. She felt like passing out due to hunger already.Lucky for her, Kai was done soon and walked u
At the thought of being followed, Rosie’s throat dried up. She stopped walking and as if to confirm her fear, the footsteps behind her also halted. Alarmed, Rosie turned to see who it was but the person appeared to be much faster. His hands reached for her and he wrapped them tightly around her, enveloping her in a hug. He lowered his nose and inhaled, releasing a sigh of relief as her scent evaded his senses.“ I missed you”. He whispered in her ears.Rosie let out a sigh of relief, allowing her tensed shoulders relax a bit. She put a hand across her chest, feeling the loud thumping coming from underneath. It took a while for her to finally calm her thudding heart.“ Have you lost it?!” Her thin voice yelled out when she did. “ Why’d you do that?”“ Do what?” He asked absentmindedly. His eyes were closed and he allowed himself be carried away by her lovely scent.“ You almost gave me a heart attack Kai! What on earth were you thinking sneaking up on me like that?!”Kai chuckled. “ Wh
BEING FOLLOWED?“ Haven you really don’t have to run away from me” Rosie screamed stepping into the kitchen, a smirk glued on her face.“ I'm not running away. I just remembered I wanted to boil some water. Dayna told me to always drink warm water because of my sore throat”. Haven replied rightfully.“ I'm not lying”. She added when she saw Rosie giving her a look.“ I never said you were”. Rosie chimed, a smirk still on her face.‘ Seriously?’ Haven wished she could just wipe the stupid smirk off her face.“ So, you suddenly remembered you had to boil water only after you’ve confessed your feelings for the Alpha?” She asked wriggling her brows at Haven who gasped.“ You've seriously lost it! Mad, you’ve gone mad!” Haven couldn’t believe Rosie was still going on about this.“ No, not me. You're the one who's gone mad,” Rosie replied with a frown. “ You've lost it, you've lost your heart to the Alpha!” Her face suddenly lit up as she clapped again. Haven literally face palmed herself
ROSIE'S QUESTION. Haven thought she had forgotten everything. She thought she had left all the bad memories behind. The memories of being betrayed by the one man she truly loved and a friend she could give up her own life for, she believed she had forgotten the painful memories but she was terribly wrong. The more Rosie spoke, the more Haven was reminded of the ugly past she tried to hard to forget.Haven couldn’t afford to get hurt anymore. She would do whatever it took to protect the pieces of what was left of her heart. Even if it meant not listening to Rosie’s nonsense again.Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath. “ If you wont stop talking to me about this, then i don’t see the use of being friends anymore”.Haven could only imagine the look on Rosie’s face as she heard her gasp. She clenched her fists willing herself to open her eyes. As she did, her eyes fell on a stunned looking Rosie. Her expression held a mixture of both shock and surprise as she stared back at Haven.“
