A soft stroke over his shoulder woke Raven up."Knock it off, I'm really tired..." Raved mumbled, hitting that hand away, only to shoot his eyes open in shock--It wasn't Knight's hand."Alpha! We thought that rogue murdered you!"Raven blinked for a moment, only to realize it was Noah's face that was almost leaning over his lips."Noah!" Raven shouted as he jumped up. Noah flinched at his sudden reaction before handing over a pile of clothes, folded nicely."Luna gave me these," Noah said in a cautious tone, "she's looking for you as well. We have been searching for you the whole night.""Where is Knight?" Raven put the boxer and trousers on quickly. Elena prepared a huge white, cotton T-shirt for him, not usually what an Alpha would wear."We didn't find him." Noah darted his eyes off Raven. It was only after seeing Noah's hesitation did Raven realized--"What do you mean that rogue? You know he's an Alpha now, right?""Well--" Noah hesitated, a worried and confused look in his eyes
Days went by, and it was like Knight disappeared from the face of the earth.The only comfort Raven had was that he could still feel that Knight was alive through the mark he left on Knight."Alpha," Elena's cautious voice rose by his door, "your medicine--""Put it there." Raven didn't even look up from his file.Elena was briefly "taken in" and was released even before she made it to the pack prison -- Iron's supporters made a huge fuss about it. Apparently, taking a file from your own husband's desk is not "stealing", and how would innocent little Elena know the video would trigger Raven to go in rage?Sound logic.Raven had no choice but to take back his own command, and Alvin failed to find any sound reason why Elena shouldn't come back to live with Raven, or using her words--"I'd rather die than leave my husband, no matter how he treats me, I'm his Luna."And now the whole pack sees her this way.If Raven still has some supporters on Elena making him go into rage, he lost all h
"How's he?" Elena asked, stepping into the cell.A man was chained to the wall by his wrists, but the chains were only long enough for him to bend his knees, and not long enough to sit or rest. His whole body was covered in long and short wounds from knives, whips, and other tools that may or may not be designed to use for torture.It was Knight."He's the best toy ever!" Nate Hogan, Elena's lost brother exclaimed excitedly, blood dripping from his hands, "Look!"He stabbed the glowing rod into Knight's body like it was a pinata with a frantic look. Knight didn't make any sound, but the chains on his wrists suddenly tightened as his body stiffened under pain."You know we can't let him die." Elena glared at her child-like big brother, "If he dies with Raven's mark on his neck, I will never get it.""I know! That's my specialty!" Nate rolled his eyes with a silly smirk, "I have so much stuff that I want to try on him, and the best part is, he's not even trying to kill himself!""Becaus
Raven had been taking the medicine regularly ever since the incident.His throat was burnt because Elena stuffed him with just boiled medicine, but the fear of the painful attack was much worse than the burnt pain."Alpha..." Elena knocked on the door, and Raven just waved her in without a word. He was grateful for her the other night, but he couldn't bring himself to forgive her just yet."You need to take the medicine every 12 hours," Elena said tamely, bringing the medicine to Raven, who was staring off the sky on the balcony, "please, my Alpha."Raven swallowed the medicine.Even drinking was now a painful hardship.He really hit the rock bottom."Alvin came again," Elena stroke Raven's arm. He didn't move. He was disgusted at her touch, but somehow doing things he hates now eases the pain in his chest.He felt like he deserves to be a part of the garbage, and being garbage feels right."Ask him to come up," Raven answered in a faint tone."You need to rest, my Alpha." Elena didn'
Noah never came back.Raven hid in his room for the whole day, but no one came to his door, not even Elena. He touched his own collarbone where Knight's mark used to be, but no special feeling came from it.He was waiting.If he was such a lousy Alpha, then he deserves everything happening to him.But he was waiting, to see whether he had done one thing right at least."Alpha? Miss Elena send me to serve you your medicine tonight." Allura's voice came through the locked door.And Raven smiled.This was his last chance, it was this or the total loss of everything he ever owned or wanted."Come in, thanks," Raven answered and left the balcony."Alpha." Allura acknowledged Raven with her eyes low on the tray as she put it on the table with no other words."Where is Elena?" Raven asked, Allura took a deep breath before she turned and looked directly at Raven, something she rarely did even when she was with Raven and K
"Is this doubled dose?" Elena frowned as she grabbed the needle from Nate."Yes, sister," Nate grinned maliciously, "and I also added a little something of my own creation in there--""The pill that makes the wolf weak?" Elena rolled his eyes, "That's the only thing you can do, isn't it?"Nate smiled tamely and backed away."Knight Knox, you are gonna beg me hard before I show mercy and have sex with you," Elena looked down on Knight condescendingly as she grabbed his arm and pushed the liquid into his veins, "I suppose you have seen the effect of the black tulip? After all, Raven came out alright from both times.""It was you," Knight nodded slowly, "How would your supporters wash this stain off you?""They would never know." Elena snorted coldly, "enjoy your last innocent minute, Knight the rogue, you are gonna shake your tails and beg me for a taste of my pussy in exactly sixty seconds, and do you know what it means when I double the dose
Elena was in sweat after almost an hour, but not like Knight.The whole sheet was almost wet from his sweat as well as his blood. It was as if he was laying on a huge scarlet flower.She clawed his nipples at the start of her "torture feast", but they were still in healing. Without Rain, it takes forever for his wounds to hell. Not to mention all the big and small cuts she made over his body."Has he ever used you here?" Elena asked as she picked yet another toy. It was a love egg-shaped in capsule with a long line as the tail. The capsule was two-finger thick.Knight's breath was long and messy. His face was paper white due to blood loss, and his lips were dry and cracking from the intense game and were now dehydrated. His eyes lost focus and were now empty though he shot a glance at Elena by instinct."I would say you are already broken," Elena chuckled as she pushed the capsule into Knight's entrance brutally, "what do you think, great Alpha?"Knight's body stiffened at the pain, b
"Don't go!"Allura stopped in shock as she looked down --Raven grabbed her ankle when he was still lying on the ground, in pain of the fact his mate cheated on him. Having your mark on your mate bit by others brings pain beyond your imagination."What do you want?" Allura's voice was cold as ice. This was the first time she looked directly at Raven without the shy act and fake respect.There was pure hatred in her eyes."I know what happened to you on my 18th birthday," Raven squeezed those words through his teeth. He was barely strong enough even before Elena bit Knight on his mark, and he couldn't even make it to his feet now."Really?" Allura sneered coldly, "You finally remember, ALPHA?"Raven looked up at Allura with sorrow in his eyes."You didn't say anything when I was living in this house for months, you didn't say anything when Alpha Knight brought us on the memory hunt, and now is the time you decide to say something?" Allura's whole body was shaken in anger before she kic
"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
