Greyson's POV

The whole infirmary was as quiet as a graveyard after I got off the phone with Dean. The sound of a pin dropping would be deafening at this point.

I stared at Roger's purple and swollen face until the room felt like it was spinning and my eyes began seeing double figures

I sucked in a sharp breath and turned away from the horrible sight, stumbling out of the infirmary and into the cool, calming evening air outside.

I gripped the iron banister in front of the building for support as I inhaled and exhaled slowly with my eyes closed, relishing in the clean air and how nice it felt against my skin

After a few seconds of doing the breathing exercise, I felt my calm and my bearings return.

I was able to think straight again.

Roger didn't die of natural causes

Not from internal or external bleeding, not from a heart attack or a deadly claw swipe to the stomach or chest.

    Harvey's POV I turned over in bed as the sound of his voice echoed in my mind for the hundredth time;"Happy birthday, mate. I want you to wear it for me"I groaned and flung the bed covers off my body before sitting up in bed. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table; 8:00AM Well, it was morning anyway and I was definitely not going to get any more sleep.I jumped out of bed and pulled the curtains by the window aside, smiling to myself when the early morning sunlight immediately brightened up my room.I stepped back, eyeing the window. The same window that Greyson had climbed through last nightGoddessIt still felt like a dreamI couldn't believe he had actually been in this very room last night I pressed my palms to my cheeks as my face heated up at the memories; How good he had looked in that black hoodie, how amazing he had smelt, the way he had leaned in and whispered to me, the sound of his voice and the feel of his breath on my skin I didn't know why but his scen

    Harvey's POV"You what?!" Alessia screeched and I cringed, fighting the urge to cover my ears with my hands. Even Scarlett's scrunched face was a clear giveaway that she also found Alessia's voice way too highI heaved a sigh and opened my mouth to repeat what I had just said"I found my mate and it's not Zach"Alessia gasped loudly as her eyes widened even more Scarlett's brows furrowed deeply"But how? You dreamt about him and he has the same birthmark as the person you saw in the dream""Yeah, I know b-"Alessia cut me off with an even louder screech"If Zach isn't your mate then who the hell is?!"I exhaled, closing my eyes and praying my eardrums wouldn't burst from the decibels she was reaching"Before I tell you guys, you have to promise not to freak out"Scarlett shrugged "You know I can handle myself, it's Miss scream queen here you have to worry about" she added, jerking a thumb at Alessia who was sitting beside her on the couch"Hey!

    Harvey's POV Think of the devil and he appears in your room, holding a framed picture of you smiling brightly at the camera in his handsHis smile widened as he looked me over slowly and I resisted the urge to fold my arms across my chest. I wasn't wearing a bra under the baggy pink shirt and I was certain that my nipples were probably visible against the thin material of the shirt Instead of doing that, I clenched my fists and scowled at him. Since he was here, I might as well begin my plan "How did you get in here?" I demanded in a cold tone and his smile falteredI was sure he would be surprised to see me acting this way towards him despite what happened between us this morning. He still looked as good as he had in the morning though his hair was more tousled, like he had been running his fingers through it all dayHe jerked his head towards the window and I turned to glance at it"You left it open" I closed my eyes and cursed under my breath before turning back to him wi

I tried reaching out to my wolf for extra strength but I couldn't sense her, it was like she wasn't even thereI thrashed wildly, feeling the panic wash over me and my lungs began constricting"Let me go, please! Let me out of here, I can't breathe! Somebody help me!!" I wailed loudly as the strange woman chanted on without a care. I began sobbing profusely as my body slumped down on the slab from exhaustionThen, all of a sudden; the strange woman stopped her chanting and the whole place went quiet for a while until I heard a chilling, familiar voice"No one's coming to save you"I turned my head to my left and my eyes widened in horror as I saw the red-haired woman from all my other dreams, smirking down at me with a crazed loo

    After yanking off the masking tape, I slowly opened the box. My eyes widened when my nose was hit with a foul smell and when I peered inside the box; my eyes widened even furtherRight inside the box was a human heart that had turned black from early signs of decayingTaped to a corner inside the box was a hand written note that read; 'A little gift from me to you, I got it from your man; Nikolai. I hope you like it because it came straight from the HEART. Love, Eliana' What the hell?I reached into the box, making sure my hand didn't graze the heart and pulled the taped note out so I could see it better. I slammed the offensive box close and turned away from it with the note in my hands, walking over to the window and opening it to let in clean airI inhaled the cool night air deeply with my eyes closed, trying to rid my nose of the foul smell from the box. My wolf was pacing back and forth in my head, growling and snarlingHe was deeply

    Greyson's POV I woke up in the morning feeling well rested and refreshed than I had felt since I arrived at the Silver Moon pack. Last night, after I had returned from my run; I shifted back to my human form before I walked through the gates where Jackson was waiting with clothes for me to put on since the ones I left in had ripped to shreds when I shifted. I had accepted the clothes from him gratefully and put them on before bading him good night and trudging back to Alpha Scott's house. After a quick cold shower, I fell into the welcoming hands of sleep the very moment my head touched the pillow and slept like a baby.I smiled at the memory as I stretched a little in bed before getting on my feet and doing more stretches. I headed to the shower after, eager to start the day and put my plans into actionMy wolf stirred in my head as he awoke and shook out his fur. He purred lowly in his throat, he had enjoyed the late night run immensely and had slept just as soundly as I

Every time I fell I pushed myself up with all my might and continued runningI didn't know what or who exactly I was trying to get away from, but I knew that whatever it was had me scared My breathing and my heart beat were so loud that I almost couldn't hear anything else apart from them.AlmostBecause I most definitely heard the flapping of huge wings and that dreadful raven call that made cold sweat break out all over my body and a chill to run up my spine It was most definitely her!The girl who could turn into a bird I pumped my legs faster, my breathing coming out in smoky puffs in the air due to how cold the forest was "Kraa-Kraa-Kraa!"The shrill caw sounded so close that I whipped my head to look behind only for me to trip over my feet and fall face first to the ground"Ugh" I groaned in pain as my abdomen had hit the ground really hard, k

    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?!"

    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
