Greyson's POV After a quick shower and a breakfast shared in tense silence; Harvey and I grabbed our bags and rode the elevator down to the ground floor where we lodged out of the hotel.The receptionist on duty bade us a polite farewell by thanking us for choosing their hotel and also casually throwing in an invitation to lodge with them again in the future.As we stepped out of the building and into the bright but mild late morning sun; Harvey sighed wistfully "I do hope we can hopefully come back again soon. I really enjoyed our stay here"I shot her a glance but said nothing as I unlocked my truck and we both climbed inside.Harvey carefully stashed her bag in the back seat while I placed mine haphazardly by my feet I shut my door and exhaled an annoyed breath as I fastened my seatbelt, unintentionally locking gazes with Harvey who was watching me with a guilty look on her faceI looked away quickly and started the truck's engine before maneuvering out of the hotel's parking l
Greyson's POV"I couldn't stop them!" Dean yelled back "They took us by surprise and I had been distracted!""Distracted by what?!" I barked "Stacey! She told me that she's pregnant! With my pup!" He exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air My arms immediately dropped from his collar and I stepped back from him as I blinked severally to ensure I hadn't misheard"What?!"His face contorted in a pained look and his lower lip trembled slightly "Stacey's pregnant, man. With....With my child. Kayden, Monty, Joe, Jackson, Alpha Scott, Beta Michael, that damn b*stard - Lowell and I had just returned from the abandoned rogue camp. We all dispersed for the night and I went up to my room, exhausted and ready to sleep only to find Stacey in there waiting for me. S-She told me that her period was supposed to come three days earlier but it didn't"I laughed incredulously "Seriously? That's it? That's what made you believe that she's pregnant? A missed period cycle? That's preposterous, Dean!
Harvey's POVMinutes earlier....... Beta Dean wheezed out a breath as he straightened and flashed me a strained smile"I'm fine, just really sore. You should go home and check on your dad. He was pretty beaten up badly himself"My breath hitched as my eyes widened in horror and a loud gasp escaped my lips Dad?Oh goddess, what happened to him?"My dad? What do you mean? What happened to him?!" I rasped in a single breath but before Beta Dean could suck in enough air to answer my questions; I whirled around and dashed out of the house, kicking the door open on my way I heard Greyson call my name but I couldn't stopI needed to see my dad and mum I couldn't believe that i hadn't even thought of checking up on them firstI should have told Greyson to pull up at my house first but the moment I had seen the pack house looking the way it did; all thought processes had pretty much vanished from my headI ran all the way to my house like a crazy person, even in my haste; I still notice
Greyson's POV I watched as Dean staggered backwards, shaking his head in disbelief with his eyes still trained on Scarlett"No, no. This can't be" he muttered before turning sharply on his heel and sprinting into the house, the door slamming shut with a loud bang behind him"Dean!" I yelled in shockHad he seriously just run away after meeting his mate for the first time?I glanced at Scarlett and saw her take a few steps forward, like she wanted to go after him but then the dazed look in her eyes disappeared and hardened into a look of hurt and anger. She paused and clenched her hands into fists as she glared at the front door where Dean had entered"Scarlett, what are you doing? Go after him, he's your mate!" Harvey urged her but Scarlett shook her head"He ran away. He clearly doesn't want me so why should I run after him like some lovestruck fool?" She sneered and I cringed at how thick the anger and hurt that coated her voice was"Scarlett, please don't judge him too quickly. He
Greyson's POVI knocked loudly and urgently on the front door of Harvey's home, listening intently for sounds from the inside that would indicate whether someone was coming to open the door or not so I would knock again.I prayed that it would be Harvey that would open the door because it would definitely save me a lot of time.The sound of light footsteps approaching the door made me heave a sigh and I waited with bated breath until the knob turned and the door creaked open to reveal Harvey's beautiful face that softened when she saw me"Hey, babe" I couldn't help the smile that always formed on my face whenever I saw her She blushed slightly at the pet name before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside the house, the action causing our bodies to press together and also because I simply couldn't resist; I cupped her face in my palms before claiming her lips in a deep kissUnfortunately, I had to pull back too quickly and I ignored my wolf's whines of protest as I did. I couldn't let
Harvey's POV Alessia and I watched with growing concern as Scarlett scooped up yet another massive amount of frozen chocolate ice cream in her spoon before shoving it into her mouth and swallowing it in one single gulp as she glared at the air. She was sitting up on my bed with her legs crossed and the ice cream tub was perched on her thighs "I mean, can you imagine him just turning around and running away?" She scoffed bitterly as she scooped up more ice creamWe were sitting in my bedroom and though I had been the one who suggested that Scarlett have some of her favourite ice cream in order to help her feel better; I was beginning to regret it as this was her third tub of the chocolatey goodness "Yes I can imagine" I answered in a tight voice "because I was there"She shot a quick glare my way before returning her eyes to the ice cream tub which was almost empty now"Why did he do that?!" She hissed "Why did he run away from me? I'm his fucking mate, dammit!""You are" Alessia
Greyson's POVI placed the phone on my ear before speaking"Hello? Who is this?"There was silence on the other end for a while before an annoying familiar voice cried; "Alpha Greyson! It's so good to hear your voice again!"My eyes widened in shock for a few seconds before anger took over as I recognized the voice"Lowell" I forced out through gritted teeth with my hand balled into a fist His creepy chuckle slithered into my ears from the phone "Yes, I feel so honoured that you actually recognized my voice. That means I must have made quite the impression on you, right?"I felt like smashing my phone on the ground but I held back "What do you want, rogue? Why in goddess' name would you dare call me after escaping and how the hell did you even get my number?!""I'm calling because I wanted to let you know that I'm back safely to my hometown and as for your number; I got it from an old friend of yours who also happens to be my friend too" he drawled "An old friend of mine? Who the fu
Greyson's POVLuna Rose hurriedly ushered Zeena into the master bedroom as Anya and I trailed behindZeena paused at the foot of the bed where Alpha Scott was sleeping in before glancing at Kayden who had been sitting on an armchair but had risen to his feet when we entered"Mum, who's this?" He asked Luna Rose in a whisper as she walked over to stand beside him "Her scent is a bit..... different""I know, that's because she's a witch" Luna Rose whispered back to him and his gaze swiftly swung back to Zeena with his eyes wide "You're a witch?!" He gasped but I'm Zeena ignored him and turned to Anya and I"What exactly do you want me to do for him?" She asked as she pointed at Alpha Scott"For you to heal him, of course. I know witches have strong healing spells that can bring people out of the most critical conditions so please use one of those spells and save his life" Anya replied and Zeena chuckled wryly "Sure, we do but it takes YEARS for a witch to learn how to cast powerful he
Five Months Later......Harvey's POVThe sound of my alarm blaring made me jolt awake in bed and I turned to the bedside table to turn off the annoying sound at the same time that I peered at the screen for the time5:15PMI gasped and slid out of bed before rushing into the bathroom where I took a quick shower, dressed in a pair of jeans, a hoodie and black converses before racing downstairsI had overslept and was late to pickup Mr O'Brien, Greyson's dad for our daily walk to the small park within the pack's premises I rushed into the kitchen where Karen, the housekeeper was stirring a steaming pot "Good evening, Luna Harvey. How was your nap?" She greeted with a smile and I puffed out a breath "It was fine but I almost overslept. Where is Martha? Does she already have Mr O'Brien ready to go?" I asked"Yes, she does. They're in the living room, would you like to have something to eat before you leave?" She offered and I shook my head"No, we'll eat when we return from the walk. B
Three Weeks Later......Harvey's POV"Oh my gosh, I can't breathe. I'm so nervous!" Scarlett rasped as she fanned herself with her hands frantically Alessia rolled her eyes at her "And yet you all call ME the drama queen"I laughed heartily "Stay calm, Scarlett. There's absolutely nothing to be nervous about"She scoffed at my words "Nothing you say? We're practically getting married!"I laughed again "It's just a mating ceremony with a wedding theme"Scarlett rolled her eyes "Oh please, it's practically a wedding, a specially decorated venue with an aisle, guests and an official to join us with our mates. I mean, how are you not nervous?""Oh Scarlett, you're being dramatic. It's just a ceremony where you walk down the aisle to get joined to the man who you'll spend the rest of your life with!" Isobelle uttered and Scarlett's eyes widened"Yes! That's exactly why I'm nervous!" She cried Alessia, Isobelle and I laughed "I'm not nervous because we'll be walking down the aisle togeth
Greyson's POV I strode into the tower that overlooked the western gateAlmost all the warriors in the pack had already gathered there with Dean and Peyton at the forefrontThey all bowed to me as I walked past them and over to Dean who was standing in front of the computer monitors that was displaying the live surveillance video that was being captured by the cameras attached to the western gate "Greyson, you're here" Dean uttered when he noticed me "Where are they? Show me" I uttered as I glanced from one screen to the other"That one" Dean pointed to the monitor in the middle and I leaned forward as I peered at itEven with the darkness of midnight, I could clearly see unmistakeable figures of at least 20 rogues standing just a feet in front of the gate and two others at the forefrontOne of the figures at the front looked like that of a woman while the other definitely belonged to a man"It's definitely her" I muttered and Dean nodded"Yep. So what do we do now?" He asked and I
Harvey's POV"I'm going to kill her" Ravina swore with determination and my eyes widened slightly"I'm going to kill that bitch in the slowest and most painful way possible!" She shrieked with a blazing look in her eyes as she stared off into the distance I waved a hand in front of her face to get back her attention and her eyes slowly returned to mine"That's fine, if you want to avenge your family's death then we won't stop you but I just want you to understand one thing. We really aren't the bad guys in this story, Eliana is the villain here and I'm sorry that we kidnapped you and brought you here against your will but that's because we really need your help" I implored and she exhaled a shaky breath that I knew was an attempt to calm herself"What do you need from me?" She asked"The poison you created, it's infected my mate who also happens to be the Alpha of this pack and we really need you to concoct the permanent cure. I know that you're the only one who can do it and that's
Greyson's POVPeyton and I stopped before the northern gate where Dean and Wesley happened to be waitingI eyed the towering gate, still not believing that there were rogues who were willing to call a truce waiting on the other side.Dean walked up to me, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand "You ready to do this? Should I tell them to open the gate?" He asked and I nodded"Yes but how many of us are going out? There shouldn't be too many people so they won't get scared and run off" I replied"Relax, I thought of that. It's just going to be me, Peyton, that damn traitor because - he's the only one they trust - and you" he uttered and I grunted in approval"That's good. Tell them to open up so we can get this over with"Dean nodded before raising the walkie-talkie to his mouth and pressing down on the button"Open her up, boys. We're going through" he into the receiver to the men up in the tower who controlled the gate A crackling sound pierced the air from the walkie-talkie before a
Harvey's POVI watched as some of the colour drained from Greyson's face as he continued to stare at the drawing of the red-haired woman I had done the very next day after I had dreamt of her for the first timeMy brows furrowed slightly as I tilted my head in confusion at his reactionWhy did he look like he had just seen a ghost?"Greyson" I called and he flinched slightly before looking up at me "What's wrong? You suddenly turned almost as white as a sheet"He exhaled a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them again "You.... You've been dreaming about her? This woman?"I nodded "Yes and I've never seen her before in my life. I have no idea who she is so that's what makes it kind of confusing. I want to know why I keep dreaming about her and just WHO she is"He swallowed thickly before slowly returning my sketchbook to me and I took it from him while watching him with narrowed eyes."I know who she is" he said suddenly and my eyes widened"You....do?!" I spluttered in sho
Greyson's POVI turned to Dean, Adrian and Jeffrey "Let's do this"They all nodded once and we all forged ahead into the mall, leaving Zeena to wait by the trucks.We stepped into the bright and fairly busy building filled with people walking by from all directions, going in and coming out of different stores I squinted into the distance and saw Ravina slowly plop onto a chair in a resting area that had pretty wooden chairs and tables for people who wanted to take a break from shopping or who needed where to sit on as they ate."She's over there" I said, nodding towards her "Let's spread out around her in a circle""Sure"We all spaced out so that people wouldn't know we actually came together and that way; we wouldn't draw so much attentionI got to the resting area first and took a seat at a table on Ravina's right. Dean, Adrian and Jeffrey smartly obeyed my orders and sat at tables that enabled us to form a sort of circle around her I watched from the corner of my eye as she pull
Greyson's POVI rubbed my chin with my thumb then looked up at Wesley whose eyes were cast downwards I was still with him in the cell and though I had realized that the only way to get the rogues to stop following Eliana was to offer them asylum; I still needed a way to actually make it happen"If I'm going to offer them a chance to start over as pack wolves, I'll need to meet them and talk to them in person. It's the only way they'll believe it"Wesley sighed as he nodded slowly "Yes, I know"I cocked my head "Oh really? Well I assume that means you can arrange a meeting between me and a small group of willing rogues, right?"Wesley remained quiet and I took another step closer to him"You know what punishment has been given to traitors who betrayed their packs since the beginning of time, don't you? I'm giving you a chance to extend the number of days you have on this earth so I advise you take it or I'll order for you to be executed this instant so we can just end all of this" I
Harvey's POVI was having that horrible, gut-wrenching dream all over againThe dream of the family of three getting k*lled by the red-haired monster I didn't know why the goddess was torturing me by making me re-live everything. All I knew was that I shut my eyes tight and held back a scream when the red-haired woman crept into the couple's room in the darknessI kept my eyes shut even as I heard her slash the man's throat and stomach, even as I heard her rip out the woman's heart despite her shrill screamsAnd then came the worst part of the dreamThe part were innocent, little Jemmy padded into the room looking for his parentsI couldn't watch his death the first time and I most definitely couldn't watch it now I gritted my teeth and stifled a wince as the sound of his neck snapping pierced into the airI wouldn't let myself cry and wail like the last time, I wanted to be strong because I knew that it was a dream and I wasn't actually thereThough I couldn't deny that deep down i
