Knight didn't fall asleep when Raven dosed off in his heated hug.He couldn't. He hadn't been sleeping in three days because there was literally lava running through his veins, lava that couldn't cool down. Lying there not able to move made bearing the pain even harder.Knight tried to pull his arm out from under Raven's neck, but the moment he moved, Raven just grabbed harder onto his shoulder and stuck his leg between Knight's. Knight huffed under his breath as he stuck, his eyes were the only parts that still got their freedom, and--Knight's eyes fell on Raven's soft, shrunk cock.He observed Raven's face carefully as he pressed his thumb on Raven's soft tip. Raven frowned with a shiver but didn't wake up.Knight's eyes glimmered in mischief.He covered his hot palm over Raven's soft cock with his thumb still pressed on top before he started stroking slowly and softly. Raven murmured something as he stretched his legs when his cock hardened. He grabbed Knight's lined muscle with a
The blood attack didn't stop until that afternoon."I need to take a nap..." Knight let out a loud groan as he stretched, finally being able to loosen up his body as he fell into the pillow."I'll leave you here then. You must be exhausted..." Raven grabbed a shirt but Knight hugged him from behind--"Don't leave."Raven chuckled as he patted Knight on the head: "I'll be right outside, silly wolf.""I want you as my pillow." Knight's eyes were already closed, but he wrapped his arms around Raven's waist with one hand grabbing the other like a kid throwing a tantrum."Fine." Raven got back into bed, but instead of as the pillow, Knight hugged Raven from behind with his nose buried in Raven's neck."Wake me up around midnight, will you?" Knight mumbled, his words bumping into each other as he barely opened his mouth."What for?" Raven whispered in confusion, but Knight already dozed off. Didn't dare move, Raven lay there with his eyes wide open. He wouldn't be able to sleep right after
"Those rogues kept him not for long before they sold them, separately." Simon continued walking, eyes on the sky, "To prevent them from ganging up together, you know?"Raven frowned. What kind of people would do that?"Knight was the most fierce one, and he was sold the furthest from his old pack, which was only ruins actually, but he kept escaping, trying to get back to his home. He made it a few times, and every time he was captured, they would break his legs and leave him to heal on his own, for days with no food and no water.""What?! Are they trying to kill him?!" Raven gasped in horror."They just didn't care. They did that to set an example for all the other slaves." Simon shook his head, "Knight stopped trying to escape after a few times, he realized he had to get strong first. Struggling on the edge of death won't do anyone any good."Raven gulped at the story."But that didn't stop his trouble." Simon let out a short chuckle, "That damn kid, he just had to save everyone he l
"What have you done to him!" Raven growled in fury as he dashed forward.Iron was taken aback when Raven made his appearance. Obviously, he wasn't expecting Raven to still be alive. But he quickly adjusted himself as he rose his hands: "I have brought all the 13 packs around here to get rid of poisonous cancer that is the doom of our society. These rogues can by no means exist any longer!"Raven glared at Iron in anger, the flames that rose inside him was burning so bad that his whole body was shaking. It was then for the first time did Raven understand what Knight meant by "it hurts to see your mate get hurt".Seeing Knight being crucified felt worse to Raven than suffering that himself."This rogue, Knight Knox, brought thirty rogues to attack the Blood Moon Pack last night!" Iron announced, "We, the Pisces Pack found out their dirty plan and attacked them. Though at the price of several of our fighters, we killed a lot of them and fought them back. But the best part, was that we ca
"You betrayed me," Raven took a deep breath as he turned to Iron, "Why?""I didn't betray you. You betrayed the pack when you choose to stand with the rogues." Iron answered smoothly.Raven glanced through the wolves Iron brought, one by one. There were twenty of them, all Iron's people."Twenty fighters." Raven sneered as he looked into their eyes, one after another, "Are they all that you could trick away the loyalty from?"Iron sneered as the wolves bared their teeth at Raven, but a dual is sacred, and none of them could intervene the moment Raven announced the challenge."Thank you," Iron took off his shirt, showing a strong body with tight muscles, "For giving me a chance to kill you myself.""No, no, no, thank YOU, for bringing the other 12 packs as witnesses. I would worry whether you might honor the dual otherwise." Raven also took off his shirt. Though he was packed with muscles too, he wasn't wide nor tall as Iron. Iron was around Knight's size."Why wouldn't I when I can sn
"Simon!" Raven shifted back the moment he felt the pack bond and growled without looking back.Simon dashed in his way as well as a few rogue warriors, including the village's doctor."Good..." Iron mumbled in a broken voice -- Raven hurt his vocal cords, "You did grow up..."Raven forced a mindlink to EVERYONE in his pack as he stood in front of Iron--"Iron Hogan, did you make a deal with some rogues to attack the Blood Moon Pack!" Raven shouted in his Alpha Aura -- no one in the pack bond could resist the Alpha Aura as they are forced to speak of the truth and obey the Alpha no matter what."No, I did not." Iron laughed as he answered.Raven frowned in confusion for a second before he asked again, loud and clear: "Have you been making deals with the rogues to attack packs around us in the past 30 years?!"Iron bit his lips till they bleed but in the end he nodded: "Yes."The wolves from the other 12 packs burst into an angry howl, as well as most of the wolves from Raven's pack."I
Raven slept through the next three days with a fever so high that the pact was certain they needed a new Alpha yet again.He saw his parents' bodies soked in blood, clawing their throat in the excruciating pain in silence, protecting their only son; he saw his father shaking hands with rogues before Knight's pack was burned to the ground in horrifying screams; and he saw Knight, crawling on the ground with his legs broken, and his eyes filled with the flames of revenge.The last image burned Raven's eyes when little Knight's broken legs overlapped with the grown-up Knight.He jerked up in his own bed in the middle of the night, soked in a cold sweat."Alpha, you are awake!" Elena burst into happy tears before she threw herself into Raven before Raven understood what happened."You...why are you here?" Raven mumbled, his throat shut dry from the three days' fever."You have slept for three days in a high fever, mumbling gibberish that no one could understand, and I have been taking car
Even with Elena's help, Iron's old supporters gave Raven hell when he finally was well enough to pick up the Alpha's work."Whatever Iron did, you should at least bring him back for a trial, Alpha! He's the beta of the pack!" An elderly, Oliver scolded Raven, "We have laws now! It's not like we are still living our wild ways, running around naked in the forest!""He tried to kill me." Raven said coldly, "And I had all the intention to bring him back for more information about his dark deals with the rogues, actually--""But you cut open his throat!" Another elderly cut Raven off, "How do you expect Iron to survive that huge a wound without any medical help?!""Howard, calm down--" Alvin frowned with a calm tone."Don't tell me to calm down!" Howard snapped at Alvin, "Raven never wanted Iron to make it back! What's up with such a sloppy execution?!""It's still Alpha to you, Howard." Raven frowned coldly as Frost pressed to the surface.The room fell in silence."Alpha, I understand yo
"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
