"And then you just got out?!" Simon rose his eyebrow so high they almost disappeared into his hair."What else am I supposed to do?!" Knight grunted in frustration."You sleep with so many women, AND men, how come you are still so bad at this?!" Simon burst into laughter at Knight's sullen look.A wood flew at Simon's way and he dodged Knight's ashamed-anger-driven attack in laughter."Seriously, when women say they want you to get out, usually they don't really want you out." Simon shook his head, "I learned that the hard way, trust me, the longer you 'stay out' the worse!"Knight rolled his eyes before he signed with a defeated tone: "Then what IS it that they want?""They want you to apologize, most of the time," Simon said in a lecturing tone."I did! I apologized, a lot! I barely rose my voice...I think." Knight rubbed his hair in frustration, "Except when I fed him the cure...I think.""There are a lot of 'I think' there." Simon squinted his eyes at Knight."I don't know, okay?!
"Say that again?!" Raven wheeled back, and the two talking rogues frowned at him with unfriendly stares."New guy?" A guy with a huge scar over his eyes asked gruffly."Yeah! Sorry, I was just shocked." Raven went and sat on another stool made out of a stump, "It's just, you said the leader has a mistress? I always saw him as...you know, indifferent to women type."The two rogues exchanged a shocked look before they burst into laughter."Unless all those moans from his room were from fairies hahaha!" The thinner guy laughed so loud that beer burst out of his nose."He takes his mistresses here?! To the village?" Raven gasped before he bit his lips. He had been trying to hide the weird sting in his chest after Knight insist the doctor take a look, only to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with him."Ohh, nooo!" The scarred man grinned mysteriously, "This one is special! Leader won't even let us know who she is! He had never been discreet about all those women he brought back
"I-I can't breath..." Raven muttered with his pupils dilated, "What's happening to me? Am I poisoned again?""No, this is the rejection sting," Knight answered quickly, "Can you fucking listen to me?! You ARE my mate!""Liar..." Raven mumbled, "I would know if you are! This is by far your stupidest lie...""You can't feel it for some reason, but I can feel you! My wolf claimed you as our mate, Raven!" Knight tapped Raven's face, but that didn't get too much of a response from him. It was like Raven was fainting."Simon! Get in here!" Knight shouted and Simon dashed into the room instantly with a grin--"What a fierce fight! We all heard it!" Simon smirked, "'Who's the mistress!' 'You are my mate!'. Those are good shit! The village is going to talk about you for a WHILE!"His grin froze at the panicked look on Knight's face."What's wrong?" Simon glanced at Raven, "What happened to HIM?""The rejection sting, I guess?" Knight shouted in panic, "I don't know! He just grabbed his collar
"We can exchange his blood with a live person. And I mean every drop of it." Caleb said calmly."A live person?" Knight frowned."If the one bearing the curse dies, the curse would return to him," Caleb said in a sullen voice."Is it really possible?" Knight glanced at the room with a worried look."It's only possible during the blood attack, you can't shift the curse once the blood attack is over." Caleb said, "I would take his pain for you, but I have the curse in my blood as well. Changing it with me won't help him.""You must be crazy to think I would allow that even if you can." Knight let out a light chuckle as he punched Caleb on the shoulder, "but thanks a lot, Caleb, for saving him.""Alpha?" Caleb frowned, "You are not thinking about taking it yourself, are you?""Yes, and right now.""Alpha! I can't let you do this! You don't know what that pain is like.""I know, I just saw it." Knight answered in a light tone, "Besides, who is gonna live through the pain for him? You said
When Raven woke up again, the room was empty. The people were all gone, as well as the ropes on his body. Knight was gone, too. A lot seemed to have happened before he drifted off in sweat, but they were all a blur now. The only thing stuck was Knight's word-- "This is the price for stealing your heart." It took a moment for Raven to shake off the sweet, delicious dream about the black tulip when he suddenly remembered -- Knight took his blood! He jumped out of bed and dashed out of the room. This time there was no guards outside his room, but also no trace of Knight. "Yo, rise n' shine, huh?" Simon greeted Raven with a bucket of water on his shoulder. "Where is Knight?! What happened to him!" Raven asked in haste. "We ate him." Simon grinned in a weird sense of humor, and burst into laughter at Raven's confused face, "Well, we are not supposed to tell you. Alpha's order." But his hand was pointing right at the woods behind the room Raven slept in. "Thanks!" Raven dashed in
Raven got into the attacking position, but instead of making a reckless move, he waited and observed. His eyes went from Knight's free hand to his throat, all the way down to the little tent Knight's cock made...and stopped there.Knight curved his lips."Go for it." Knighted waved Raven on with his fingers condescendingly, "Let's see what you have got, little wolf."Raven walked around Knight slowly as he approached closer and closer, waiting for his chance. Knight grinned, eyes filled with pride seeing his little wolf was no longer the reckless kid who throws a mile-long punch."It's great that you are being patient, but you don't plan on boring me to death, do you?" Knight teased as he turned with Raven. But instead of getting riled up at his tease, Raven gave Knight an innocent smile as he jumped further left, making Knight turn even more when--The chains clicked and wouldn't turn anymore."Wow!" Knight let out a low gasp as the chain turned right fast beyond his control. He had
Knight stood stright with his free arm held up."This one you can use in a wolf fight, too." Knight tilted his head at his right arm, "Use your left arm and go under mine before you twist your arm to reach my shoulder."Raven's eyes landed on Knight's knee."No kicking. I'm trying to teach you here." Knight chuckled at Raven's suspicious look, "Promise."Raven lunged forward and did as Knight said, but with his right hand grabbing Knight's shoulder at the same time. Knight bend his arm fast and got out of Raven's trap fast before he punched Raven in the gut."Hey!" Raven protested, bending over in pain."I said fast." Knight was rarely strict, "You can't expect your enemy to go easy on you because they didn't follow some rule. You just die."Raven bit his lips and forced himself to stand straight.Knight curved his lips encouragingly."Don't use your right hand yet, keep it to your side," Knight said as he held up his ar
"Alpha?! I thought the water eased the pain--?" Simon rose his eyebrows when he saw Knight back, carrying Raven over his shoulder."I'm gonna deal with you later for sending the little devil to find me!" Knight threatened with a vicious smirk and Simon dropped the chore in his hand and ran--"Ahh! I just remembered! I have to get into the town! Might not be in the village for a couple of days or more!"Raven burst into laughter on Knight's shoulder. Knight slammed the door after he dragged the whole branch into the room before he threw Raven onto the bed. Raven knelt on the bed as he pulled Knight close by his pants: "You need to rest, Alpha. You are in pain.""You are one to talk!" Knight gripped Raven's chin before he bent down for a fierce kiss. Raven wrapped an arm around Knight's neck while trailing down Knight's chest with the other. It was to Raven's surprise that Knight's pants and his body dried up totally on their short way back because of Knight's high temperature.He was l
"Knight! Where are you?! Raven?! Caleb?! Anyone?!" Simon's loud voice sounded through the whole pack, "What the fuck is wrong with the mindweb? Where is Knight and why is Raven the Alpha now?!"Shouting this was only Simon's way of waking up those who hadn't yet accepted his mindlink invitation --Simon couldn't force a joined mindlink of everyone in the pack, only an Alpha could.But he had no other choice.Everything was fine only a few hours ago--He woke up to the most peaceful and long-waited Christmas morning with his beloved daughter and lovely wife, to celebrate the last Christmas they get to spend in the forest--It was fine to live there when Knight had only a handful of guys to keep around. They cared little about things like houses, dresses, and holidays. But now with Knight becoming the Alpha, the pack could no longer just keep the rough rogues, but also werewolves with family and all.So Knight decided to accept Allura's kind offer and move his pack into a small town tha
Knight returned to his village after a perfect night with his mate, in a low mood-- it was only the beginning of a long wait that didn't have a time limit on, when being away from his mate for merely seconds seemed torture to him. It was only at the gate of the villiage did Knight rememebered -- Frost pledged to Rain in the mountain after Raven went in rage, though only for a short night, that merged the two packs before he gave the title back to Frost, meaning-- He was now an Alpha with no pack, again. And this time even his loyal rogues had left him. Just what he wanted right now -- he wanted to bury himself in bed and get some good sleep after the tiring visit of Raven's prison, hopefull he could sleep till forever-- That was the promised time of his mate's return, right? He was exhausted. "Alpha?!" Simon's shocked voice stopped Knight's legs when he was heading toward his little cabin, and Knight turned to look in shock, only to find-- More and more heads stucking out of t
"Raven...?" Knight got nervous when he lost all expectation of what Raven wanted a serious talk for."You really think she might poison me?" In a light tone, Raven waited till Allura was out of the room, making no move at neither the real cure nor the temp cure.It was the first time he really tried to go against the great Alpha in front of him, and magically, he calmed down and could think clearer like never before.He knew how to play the Alpha who had only his benefit in mind, and he just needed to make his moves right."I'm not saying that she has ill intention," Knight explained, trying to search for Raven's eyes, but Raven sighed with his eyes, low, "I know how hatred works, and she has been blaming you for what happened for too long to just shake it off overnight.""I see..." Raven sighed in a heavy tone, frowning as if the fact that he couldn't win his people's hearts over bothered him.And Knight fell for that instantly, because that feeling was genuine."I'm not saying that
Knight wrapped his arm around Raven's chest from behind, falling asleep quickly as Raven listened to his steady breath carefully, thinking about how to get out without Knight knowing.Whatever the bad news was, he couldn't trust Knight's decision.Raven closed his eyes and mindlinked Allura again.[Sorry about that,] Said Raven, looking around the laboratory through Allura's eyes, [what's the bad news?][We have analyzed the cure and basically re-created it exactly in the same proportion,] Allura raised a tube for Raven to see.[What do you mean basically?] Raven frowned, catching on to the keyword.[Well, we use the same method on them with a centrifuge and it came out as the same,] Allura put down the tube, and her eyes fell on the centrifuge in the middle of the room, [but somehow they are working differently...][As in?][As in, the mice with the poison in their blood took our cure calmed down instantly like how the cure was supposed to have worked, but later the symptoms appeared
"Knight...Knight?!" Raven mumbled when he opened his eyes, but the bed was empty, and that gave Raven an icy quiver before he threw the sheet away and jumped out of bed, only to fall to the ground with his body shaking in a heavy sweat.Knight was gone?! Again?![Noah!] Raven mindlinked Noah, trying to get back up to his feet, [Where are you? Where is Knight?!][Alpha?] Noah's confused voice came through, [I'm in the lobby of the Alpha's house, do you need me to come up to help?][No!] Raven huffed, [Where is Knight?!][I don't know...] Noah shot a worried glance up in the direction of Raven's bedroom before he left the lobby, [I'm coming--]"Yo," Knight's voice suddenly rose as the bathroom door slid open, "fancy way to wake up, Alpha Raven."Huffing Raven on the ground: "..."[Alpha, I--] Noah hesitated and Raven already cut the mindlink."Where did you go?!" Raven snapped angrily, cold sweat all over him when he woke up to an empty bed."The...bathroom..." Knight blinked innocently
Knight instantly understood Raven's shout, and he got out of Raven's grab easily before he jumped at Noah when Noah froze where he was."You break the vial and I'll die, too!" Raven shouted as he stumbled off the bed at the two, and his words slowed down Knight's move visibly."What the fuck are you still doing here?!" Raven snapped at Noah as he jumped on Knight's back, "Can't you do ONE thing you are told?! Run!""Give me the vial or your Alpha dies!" Knight cut in before Raven could even finish his sentence, "Don't obey your Alpha!"That was the weirdest order ever and Noah froze there, darting his eyes between the two Alphas like a moron."Noah!" Raven snapped, "What the hell?!""Your Alpha needs the vial!" Knight wouldn't budge, "I'm only trying to save him--""I-- I don't have the vial..." Noah mumbled with a frightened look, horrified."What?!" Raven snapped, "You took it and ran away when I--"He stopped his words, shooting a guilty glance at Knight and Knight instantly unders
"Are you fucking kidding me..." Mumbling with a resigned tone, Raven sighed heavily as he turned around slowly to Knight's pitch-dark eyes.Hands locked behind his back, Knight sat on the floor with his back against the table, smirking."From the look of your shaking hands," With a drawling tone, Knight's eyes fell on the empty bowl that rolled to the side, "you didn't take the cure?""And now that you have," Raven panted with a messy breath, giving up his failure of a plan to contain the beast with a sarcastic tone, "do you still insist that you stopped loving me, ALPHA?""I never said that," Knight's eyes scanned the room before he sighed and stood up, putting the handcuff on the table gently.Raven rolled his eyes at Knight's silent bragging."Where is the vial?" With a coaxing tone, Knight pulled Raven up from the floor before he carried Raven to the bed and put him there, again."I drank it up before throwing it outside the window!" Raven snapped at Knight sarcastically.He could
"Alpha! Are you alright?!" Noah shouted, tapping Raven on the face."Stop it..." Raven gasped for air with a frown. He didn't black out, just couldn't maintain a calm face under Elena's poison was all."Let me help!" Noah put Raven's arm around his neck and got him to the bed before he asked, "Why are we taking down Alpha Knight?"Raven didn't have time to explain his full plan to Noah, but just told him to take whatever necessary means to take down THE beast, hence Noah's three shots."Why did you shoot him three times!" Raven snapped angrily, finally catching his breath after the mate mark on his neck faded a little."I...I panicked..." Noah blurted tamely, "His eyes were red and I knew how strong he was so...""Okay, whatever," Raven waved his hand impatiently, putting the vial in Noah's hand, "feed him this first and then we'll talk!""What is this?" Noah took the vial to Knight with a swift move, "Are you..."His hand froze, and Raven shot over a questioning look."Is this poison
"Really, you think so, huh?" Raven suppressed the anger and sting rose at the rejecting words from his mate."I'm sorry," Knight sighed heavily, dodging Raven's eyes, "I thought I could do it, but in the end, you are still a White.""It wasn't my father who did the crime," Raven stood up with his fists shaking at his side, but Knight took that a sign of Raven's anger, and didn't connect that with the poison."Your father allowed the attack," Knight took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his chest in pain like never before when he forced his cold words out of him, "maybe not intentional, but he made a deal with the rogues to make his name, and that cost innocent lives, Raven.""..." Though knowing Knight was only saying this because he wanted to sacrifice his own chance of living for him, Raven couldn't help but felt hurt, and the worst part was, Knight was right.Nolan White bought the rogues to attack just so he could come to the rescue and make his own name. Though not intended to
