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
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 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 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 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
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.

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
Two years earlier....... Unknown POV I raced through the woods in my wolf form, my paws pounding the ground as I sprinted at full speed. The trees and the rest of the forest passing in a blur all around me.I needed to catch her She couldn't get awayShe needed to confessShe needed to tell me why she stabbed me in the back so heartlessly despite the fact that we had known each other since we were pups.All because she had wanted to support her mate.Their betrayal nearly cost us our packLives were lost, families destroyed and scarred emotionally for life. My poor mother being one of the many victims.The sharp sting of overwhelming pain pierced my heart again as I remembered how I had held her limp, lifeless body in my arms as my father, the Alpha of our pack howled in anguish. I couldn't even console him, that kind of loss needed to be approached with great caution. Our grief, mine and his, were very different. I had lost a mother, the one who birthed me and brought me into the

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
