I went to the tree where the pup`s scent was still strongest and with my nose to the ground followed her scent trail until it was joined by another unfamiliar scent that was mixed with fear and the strong smell of blood. I mind linked Thomas that I found her parents scent trail and from the amount and smell of blood that they died from their wounds trying to lead the rogues away from the pup.
After we found what remained of her parents we went to the pack’s camp and saw no survivors and the ground littered with blood and the ones who had died in battle. I sat on my haunches with my head tilted towards the sky howling my sadness to the sky as my packmates joined me. After we buried the dead, we went back to where her parents had fallen trying to protect her. After Thomas carefully placed her parents on mine and Clarence`s backs we walked back to camp to report to Frank. After we got back home, we laid her parents down in the center of the clearing. Ruth as Rain decided to cal
Frank`s POV Frank growled, circling him looking for an opening, seeing an opening he attacked swiping at Daniel`s muzzle getting fur and blood snagged on his claws. Circling back trying to go for his neck Daniel attacked him by biting his ear and drawing blood and then swiped his paw by his head sending Frank reeling for a second. When Frank regained his balance, he saw that Daniel had cornered him by the edge of the cliff. Frank started tussling with Daniel. After a while Daniel him pinned down by the edge of the cliff and started to bite his neck when frank got distracted when he heard someone call his name. Ruth`s pov The one word she dreaded hearing because of the fear of being rejected because of her powers. When Ruth snapped out of her daze, she saw that Frank had their leader over the edge about to kill him, but when their eyes locked, she knew it was him who was her mate. How could the Moon goddess be so cruel to pair me with the wolf who wiped out my whole pack? She wondere
“What do you want to know about me that you probably don't already know? I'm pretty sure you already know plenty about me. I have a feeling that your dad had other ulterior motives for attacking my pack and left me alive because of my powers to control the elements and my abnormal strength. I know your dad already told you some about me.” “I do know some information about you from my dad, but not the personal information like the foods you like or what your favorite color is. I would really like to get to know you on a more personal level not just as my mate but as a person. I really don't know much apart from your abilities and abnormal strength. I'm also really sorry about your parents if I knew what his plans were I wouldn`t have done it.” He replied, licking savannah`s ear and looking at her wolf`s beautiful silver fur. After Daniel`s group left that didn't want to join we started walking back to camp. I nudged my dad Frank to go get his cuts treated so they wouldn`t get infecte
Frank replied before he left to go get herbs. After he gave her instructions he went to the forest where the yarrow grows. He thought he felt like someone was watching him but after he looked around and didn't see anyone he shrugged it off. Frank scanned the area where he found some and didn't see any that didn't get killed by the early frost. He didn't want to ask Yarrow for some but he might have to if he can’t find any. Just as he was going to give up Frank spotted some yarrow while walking further down the trail towards the river. Frank was interrupted by the feeling of being watched but again when he turned around nobody was there. He thought that was very strange but continued walking towards the yarrow and after he got some yarrow picked. He decided to get the marigold from Yarrow because it`d be hard to find any now with this much frost. On his way home the feeling of being watched never disappeared as he got closer to camp though he felt someone whack him hard on the head a
Sam was sitting on the fountain, tired of her mom bossing her around like she had to set the right example for the pack as the next heir. She found a rock and threw it hard without paying attention to where she threw it. Thomas was walking away from the coven he grew up in; he did not want anything to do with this life anymore and lived on his own. Kim was the only vampire he wanted and now she is dead and he was being forced to marry the daughter of the coven leader his family was at war with to create a peace treaty. He still remembered that
“You still look as beautiful as ever in that dress Helen.” Nathan got up and got dressed himself and went downstairs to see how the preparations were going for Sam`s b-day ceremony as well as the other wolves that turned 18 today. Some of them were her friends for school. ‘I hope if she doesn't find her mate or gets rejected that they`ll be there for her.’ After Sam got dressed and went downstairs, she saw Rebecca, a friend of hers who was going to be her beta. She walked into the kitchen where the omegas were preparing the pack house for the party tonight and walked over to her best friend. “Are you excited to find your mate and meet your wolf tonight? I really hope Lucas comes tonight.” Sam paced around the kitchen too excited to stay still wondering if Lucas had found his mate already because he is a year older. “The only reason you
Lucas walked closer to Sam and brushed a stray hair out of her face and put it behind her ear and hugged her breathing in her sweet flower fragrance. I still love the way she smells and she has gotten so beautiful. He realized taking a better look at Sam. He felt all the feelings he thought he had buried away during his groom training push to the surface.“That's why you stopped sending me postcards and letters from the places you traveled?” She asked curiously, wondering if there was more to it than he was telling her. Blushing slightly at his touch and his closeness to her as she could smell his scent. She was wondering why her parents had been so secretive with the pack business lately and not including her in the pack talks with the red valley pack.“Yeah, sadly they didn't want me to come because of how close we were and how p
“It's ok we had to for the ceremony to officially become bonded and the future leaders of the pack. I know that's why you had Ethan have full control because you couldn`t.” She looked at him sympathetically and held his other hand. When everyone finished eating, we went for a run as a pack. Harry and I were at the head of the pack with my parents shortly behind us. Harry`s POV I felt so guilty for doing that to Sam. I knew it was part of the ceremony and we had to, but I still couldn't help but feel guilty. After Sam came over and we went for a run it felt good to have the wind blowing through my fur and seeing the pine trees passing in a blur. When we came back something had felt off like there were vampires or hunters. Ethan had felt it too and started growling inside and I had mind linked Sam and told her to tell her parents and that I would be back. If only I had known that wo
I continued picking up speed as trees blurred past and jumping over fallen trees with ease. I followed the scent trail Daniel`s party left to find where they were. When we got there I thought I had prepared myself for what would be there, but nothing would`ve prepared me for this. It was Harry`s head still growling at whoever was attacking him and there was blood everywhere but no body or sign of struggle on the ground where the head lay. I howled into the night sky at the loss of my mate and slumped down on the ground unwilling to get up to leave. When Daniel tried to pick up his head I growled baring my teeth at him. I could feel Sam's heartbreak as our bond was broken and incomplete without our mate. Sam's Pov When I had control back I was still laying on the forest floor, curled around what was left of my mate pr

When the deer was busy eating, Thomas striked and killed the deer and picked up the carcass and the rabbit on his way back. Sam’s pov When Sam woke up the spot next to her where Thomas slept was cold, so he had to have been gone for a while, but when she looked up at the sky it was still night too early for the patrol to be leaving yet. She wondered if he shared her suspicions about the pup. Rain agreed to nurse until we could find her parents. She was still surprised that the Rain agreed to nurse the pup. It was strange that the pup was just abandoned in the forest like that. She knew though that there was no sense in worrying about it now that they would have to wait until the patrol went to go search the area. Sam decided to get up and go for a walk to clear her head, but before she left the camp Thomas walked in carrying a deer and a rabbit. “Where have you been this late? When I woke up you were gone, and the spot felt cold.
"I'm sorry that happened to you and for leaving without permission also for getting my brother hurt," Tiny said sympathetically but not sorry for leaving. Tiny walked over to where Ben was laying down and laid down beside him watching his breathing. She carefully comforted him when he started fidgeting and whining in his sleep. Once he settled down, she closed her eyes and let sleep take her. When Thomas walked by with Kim taking turns keeping an eye on Ben so Rain could sleep, he saw Tiny asleep next to her brother protectively. He could not help but smile wistfully at the closeness the siblings had wishing his brother had survived their birth. He sat down next to Kim watching Ben out of the corner of his eye while listening to the bustle around camp. He got up when he saw Frank and Clarence bring in an orphaned pup that was a little older than tiny and her littermates, but too young to be eating solid food. When Thomas got over there, he saw how underfed the pup was.
When the search party came to the end of the riverbank, they saw Tiny staring at the river in horror. Frank followed their gaze and saw that the pups got too close to the river and fell in. Without thinking Frank and William plunged into the icy cold river trying to swim against the current as the river soaked their fur. William finally grabbed one of the pups by the scruff and struck out towards the bank trying to keep his pup`s head above the water. The weight of his sodden fur and the pup he was carrying was starting to drag him under when he felt someone swimming strongly beside him. When William looked over, he saw Kim beside him and with one last surge of strength he struck out to the bank. William felt relieved at the feel of the riverbed beneath his paws and pulled himself and the pup onto shore. William looked around frantically for Frank and the other pups. He sighed with relief when he saw them further down the riverbank. William ran down to where Frank was trying
He said as he saw Thomas open his mouth to speak then closed it. That is all and I wanted to announce that we need to start training the pups for the rank battles in the spring. “What about the other traditions though and are we going to abandon the rest of them too?” Fern, one of the oldest members of the pack, stepped forward. “No, we`re not going to abandon the rest of the traditions, it's just that times are changing, and we need to adapt, or risk being wiped out.” Frank turned around and walked to his den signaling that the meeting was over. Frank walked over to Gabriel in the clearing beside Claire licking her face affectionately. Good evening Gabriel I talked to the council, and they agreed to your proposal, I announced it to the pack just now, but it will not have any effect on any mates already made with wolves lower than pup rank. “Well, that’s good news that the council agreed to it. I'm surprised they agreed knowing that the council is
He also saw they succeeded in getting new pack members. “Who is this wolf and vampire you brought back with you who seems very friendly towards you Thomas?” He wondered quizzically why a wolf and vampire if meeting strangers would act so friendly. “She is my lost love from before I met Sam. When we were at war with another coven, she left to fight in her sister's place who was pregnant. After the battle ended, I was told she died defending the coven. She told me that she did not die, that she was kidnapped and used for experiments on werewolves that could shift freely and those that could not. The wolf is Sam`s mate Harry she lost on the night of her alpha ceremony. Can they stay with us in the pack?” Thomas asked Frank, happy that their mates did not die, but sad they might be separated. “I thought I had lost Harry that night and Thomas thought he had lost Kim, but now that we`ve been reunited we don't want to be separated again.” Sam spoke for them eage
