Greyson's POV I was roused from sleep by someone tapping my arm repeatedly"Greyson, wake up"I groaned and turned away from the voice, hoping whoever it was would leave so I could keep sleeping but the taps persisted"Wake up, man" I slowly opened my eyes and squinted at Dean who was leaning slightly over me "You've been sleeping for five hours, I think that's enough" he said and I stretched as I sat up in bedI glanced around, turning to the side of the bed where I remembered Harvey sitting as we shared the breakfast but the spot was empty"Where's Harvey? I remember her bringing me breakfast but I don't remember watching her leave"Dean scoffed"Did you expect her to stay all day with you? She needs to go home and at least freshen up, you know?" "So you did see her?" I pressed and he rolled his eyes"No, I didn't. She told Luna Rose to tell me that she's gone home so her parents won't find out she spent the night here""Oh" I sighed and ran a hand over my face"Gosh, I lit
Greyson's POVI opened my mouth to apologize to Dean when the door burst open and Anya marched inside the room, breathing heavilyDean and I quickly rose to our feet as she stopped a feet in front of us "Anya, you're finally back. Tell us, what did you learn?" I asked She inhaled and exhaled slowly, doing so a couple other times as Dean and I waited patiently"Okay" she breathed and cleared her throat before looking up at me"I took the samples I collected from the rogue prisoner to run tests on them because I had a theory that the so called weapon he spoke of might not be an actual weapon but something else. So I took his blood and also dissolved the piece of nail with some acid. Then, I did the easiest test there is to find out if something has been infected with dark magic or not""And how did you do this test?" Dean inquired"Have you two heard of a flower called 'tyle'?" Anya asked back and Dean and I shared a contemplative look"I think I read about it in one of the history bo
Harvey's POV"I didn't reject Greyson. I'm going to be his Luna" I announced to Alessia and Scarlett They both gasped "That's great!" Alessia squealed, clapping her hands excitedly"I'm so glad you finally came to your senses and are doing the right thing" Scarlett said with a chuckleI laughed "Yeah, I'm also really happy""Another thing we have to celebrate and look forward to" Alessia squealed again I arched a brow "What's the first thing?"They stared at me like I had gone crazy"Are you kidding? Did you seriously forget? Scarlett's 18th birthday is in two days! She's going to acknowledge her mate soon!"My lips partedGoddess, I had totally forgotten!But I couldn't tell them THATWhat kind of friend forgets her own bestie's birthday?I knew I've had a lot going on lately, but still "O-Of course not, I totally didn't forget! Yay, Scarlett's turning 18 in two days! I can't wait to find out who your mate is!"Luckily for me, they bought into it immediately as Alessia let out a
Greyson's POV Lowell grinned widely at me "You, Alpha Greyson must breed your mate and mark her"A deafening silence reigned in the room as I stared at him with wide eyes I blinked slowly "I beg your pardon?"His grin widened even more "Oh, you know you heard me loud and clear"Dean coughed "I'm sorry, how does him, you know, er...... breeding and marking her help him get back some of his strength?"Lowell turned his grin to Anya"You look like a smart one, I'm sure you can answer that so they can stop looking so confused"Anya rolled her eyes at him and sighedI slowly turned to her "Do you understand what he means?"She pursed her lips"Unfortunately; I do""Then please, explain it to me" I requested and she exhaled a breath"When mates....uh...well MATE. Their souls form two links that need to be connected in order for them to become one soul. This is then made possible when they mark each other. They become one and share almost everything like feelings, thoughts, pain and most
Greyson's POV Dean and I strode into Alpha Scott's house and paused at the entrance to the living room that was surprisingly deserted "Alright" he sighed "We went over to her place and her mum said she left for her friend's house. We went over to her friend's house and they said she should be here so let's hope to the goddess that she hasn't skipped off somewhere else because my legs are starting to hurt and I'm getting hungrier by the minute"I chuckled softly "Thanks for being here with me"He rolled his eyes but I could see the ghost of a smile on his lips"Let's just find her so you can talk to her and we can get this hopefully over and done with"I pressed my lips together and furrowed my brows"What is it now? Are you still having second thoughts about telling her?" He asked and I clicked my tongue"It's just that I had a whole special thing in mind for our first night together and this... this isn't it AT ALL" He cocked his head slightly "What did you have in mind?""I wan
Harvey's POVGreyson continued to gape at me in shock"You seriously don't mind?" He asked once again and I rolled my eyes"No, I don't mind. We're mates and it's going to happen between us anyway so why not? Besides, if this will really buy us more time then I'm more than happy to do it"He blinked at me before his lips slowly spread into a wide grin that showed off his perfect dentition "Harvey" he rasped in a breathy voice before his smile dimmed "I don't want you to feel pressured to do it though, if you need some time to think about it I won't mind. Just to be sure you're making the right decision"I sighed, smiling softly at him as I shuffled closer to him. I moved my face until we were close enough to feel each other's breaths "I'm not feeling pressured to do it. I'm your mate and I would do anything for you" I murmured softly and he exhaled slowly as his eyes dropped to my lips and lingered there I angled my head and leaned even closer, our lips were now just an inch apart
Greyson's POV Harvey blinked slowly as she tried to take in everything"So....So we're leaving? Right now? Where are we even going?" She stuttered and I squeezed her hand to hopefully help calm her down Dean was the one who answered her with a smirk on his face"Don't worry, Greyson has got it all planned out" he then turned to me"I already asked Joe to pack some of your clothes and other essentials. The duffel bag is downstairs in the living room" he announced and I gave him a wide-eyed stare "Seriously?" I hissed at him through our mind-link "I thought you were preparing the men for the raid tomorrow. When did you have time to do all of this?!""I'm trying to save your life, man. You should be thanking me" he replied through the link as well and I scoffed in disbelief "Unbelievable" I muttered in the link but he merely gave me a cheeky winkBeta Michael turned to Harvey "I also called your mum and asked her to pack some of your things, sweetie. She's on her way here with it a
Greyson's POV I thanked Kayden again before we both marched out of the house and into the late afternoon sun were everyone was waiting in the front lawn. Dean was leaning on my truck, watching Kayden and I walk out with narrowed eyes while Harvey was hugging her parents with her friends standing nearby. Kayden walked over to Alpha Scott and Luna Rose who were standing a bit farther away from everyone else I sauntered over to Harvey who upon seeing me, moved away from her parents and came to stand by my side "Are we good to go?" She asked me softly and I smiled down at her as I nodded"Yeah we are"Alessia and Scarlett passed by Dean as they walked up to us and I saw Dean's eyes flicker to Scarlett, his brows creasing as his eyes lingered on her for longer than necessary"Well, have fun bestie. See you when you get back" Alessia was saying to Harvey and I slipped away from them, walking up to Dean who was still watching Scarlett with the crease on his brows slowly deepening
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
