The Next Day....Harvey's POV "Ugh, mum I really hate community cleaning" I groaned as I wiped down yet another table at the pack's event hall that I was unfortunate enough to be assigned to for the month's community cleaning. Luckily, mum was also assigned here so I've been groaning and whining to her about how much I hated itThe said woman rolled her eyes and threw me a nasty glare that had me forcing back a laugh, I knew I was being annoying and she has had it with me"You're so lazy, stop complaining and hurry. The faster you get done, the faster you leave" I let out a prolonged groan"You know, tomorrow is my birthday. I'm not supposed to be doing such hard labour today, I'm supposed to be out shopping, getting my hair and nails done so I can look good for tomorrow. I mean, I'm only going to turn eighteen once" Mum shook her head with a small smile"Yes, you're only going to turn eighteen once. Which is why I suggest you finish wiping down all these tables quickly so you
Greyson's POV "It's this way, over here" Peyton said as we went down another small flight of stairs that led even deeper into the underground dungeons where we keep captured prisoners.I followed closely behind him until he stopped in front of one the cells with an iron gate. Peyton unlocked the gate and stepped aside, allowing me to walk into the dark cell first before following. My eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness the same time my nose picked up three scents; the two familiar ones of Dean and Wesley who were standing on each side of the male rogue that was tied to a metal chair with chains.The last unfamiliar and awful stench belonged to the male rogue. I scrunched up my nose as I stepped closer to him, from the corner of my eyes I saw Dean and Wesley tilt their heads in submission. I stopped just in front of the rogue. His head was bowed, his clothes were torn and splattered with blood as his chest heaved up and down raggedly."What happened to him?" I asked nobody in p
Harvey's POV I was lying in my bed all tucked up and ready to sleep. My eyes had already started to droop when I heard footsteps coming towards the door to my room. I arched a brow and slid out of bed, going to the door just as I heard the person knock softly"Harvey, it's us. Wake up" Alessia called in a whisper from the other side and I yanked the door open. Alessia and Scarlett were standing there still dressed in their clothes from earlier today"What's going on guys? Why are you here this late? It's almost eleven" I queried, looking from one to the other"Alessia has something she wants to tell us" Scarlett replied with a serious look on her faceI gaped at them incredulously"And it couldn't wait until tomorrow?" Alessia shook her head, making her blonde locks bounce"No because tomorrow is your day and I don't want to ruin it for you" I scoffed in disbelief"Well, my birthday is actually in less than an hour's time so it'll still ruin it if you tell me now" Alessia grabb
Harvey's POV "Can I open my eyes now?" I asked for the one hundredth time and once again he replied with an amused voice;"Not yet, soon though. We're almost there" "Ugh" I groaned "Can I at least take off this itchy blindfold?"Zach chuckled lowly "No, the whole point of me making you wear the blindfold is to keep you from seeing where I'm taking you""I'm dying with curiosity and not seeing anything is making it really hard to walk" I pointed out as I stumbled on something again for the millionth time and Zach had to grab my shoulders to steady me.He leaned in close to my ear and his cold breath made me shiver slightly "Don't worry, I won't let you fall" he murmuredMy lips curved up in a smile"I know you won't""Good, because we're here" he announced and I gasped inaudibly. I felt his fingers slowly untying the knot of the makeshift blindfold at the back of my head"Are you ready for your second birthday surprise?" he whispered in my ear and I giggled"Of course I am, I'm s
Greyson's POVFive minutes earlier........ By the time Dean pulled my truck over in front of the Alpha of the Silver Moon pack's house, my head felt like it was about to explode. My wolf has been pacing back and forth and growling nonstop and my patience with him was wearing thin.Dean turned off the ignition and exhaled, staring ahead"Well, here we are. At the the Silver Moon pack aka the middle of nowhere" I looked up just as the door to the Alpha's house opened and three people walked out; Two men and one woman. They walked towards our vehicles and stopped a few feet awayWesley mind-linked me from his own truck;"Alpha Greyson, it's the pack's Alpha and his family. They're here to welcome us" I mind-linked him and the rest of my men that I brought along with me"Yes, Let's meet them" I nodded at Dean and he returned it with a quick one of his own before we both unlocked the doors on our sides and jumped down from the truck. Wesley and the rest of my men followed suit. I
Harvey's POV My breath was coming out in harsh puffs as I stood, glaring at the devastatingly gorgeous male in front of me.Deep brown eyes, jet-black hair, fair, blemish-free skin, a well structured nose and shockingly full pink lips for a man. Not to mention the body of a god; tall, broad-shouldered and muscular but not a steroid-induced kind of muscle. It was the kind that showed he took care of himself and excercised properly.Such deadly physical traits in one man It was so unfairHow could such a beautiful creature exist?The moon goddess had definitely taken her sweet time when she was carving this manAnd to think that he was my mate, goddess help me. How would I be able to resist him? It was bad enough that the mate bond was making my mind fuzzy. I had to physically hold back from throwing myself at him and smashing my lips with his. NoI couldn't do thisNot until I was sure that I wasn't getting confused and that the Adonis standing before me was truly my mate.My
Harvey's POV I was having that dream again. I found myself walking through the same quiet and desolate forest at night, dressed in nothing but a sleeveless white flimsy dress that barely covered my knees. I wrapped my arms around myself, rubbing my forearms to try and create a little bit of warmth.The forest was so cold that I could see my breath in the air. I heard rustling behind me and I turned back sharply, glancing around for signs of anything weird or perhaps; the scary red-haired woman.When I saw nor heard anything, I turned back around and resumed walking again. I had barely taken two steps when I heard a strange sound that sounded like the flapping of huge wings.I felt a whoosh of air from above and I looked up to see a huge black bird fly over me and perch on one of the dead looking tree branches directly in front of me. I gulped slowly as the black bird that I assumed was a raven folded it's wings and stared right at me with it's pitch black haunting eyes I s
Greyson's POV I stared at the note in my hand with shock; 'Congratulations on finding your mate, Now the game begins. Love. Eliana' What?Eliana?How is this possible?I mean, it wasn't like she was dead the last time I had seen her but still. She had crossed over into another state.Oh come on. What was I even thinking right now?She had literally swore to me that she would seek revenge for what happened to Gideon the last time I saw her.And deep down in my gut I had always known that she would return one dayBut why now?She had been silent for two good years, nowhere to be seen. It was like she had either fallen off the face of the earth or had vanished into thin air I stared down at the written words on the small piece of paper for a while then I lifted the paper to my nose and sniffed, closing my eyes so I could concentrateI sniffed once, twice. Hoping that I would catch a whiff of a particular floral scent t
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
