Love and War

Raven’s point of view. “What do you mean by that?” I snapped at Ryker. Ryker only glared at me and turned his attention to the group of girls. “That one makes them five.” He said, his eyes blazing with fury. I scoffed. “What a pathetic Alpha, you are scared of him? He is a man like you.” I felt a sting on my left cheek. My lips curled up into a sneer. “So much anger, so much power. I have a question for you Ryker. Why waste it hitting a woman? Why don’t you declare war on him? If you are man enough fight him and put an end to your people’s suffering. Or are you scared?” “Scared?” Ryker asked, his tone filled with sarcasm. “If I was scared, I would not have walked into your father’s territory and snatched you right under his nose.” “Keep my father out of this you B A S T A R D!” I yelled at him. Ryker held my jaw, his grip tightened around my jaw and I felt like he would snap it anytime soon. “Listen to me, if you keep running your mouth I will make sure I give you

Raven’s point of view. After the first sunrise, I bid farewell to Ryker and Blaise and embarked on a journey to Fenrir’s territory. Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours. Soon I approached the border of Alpha Fenrir’s territory. I saw a wolf, walking along the border and my heart jumped to my throat. Taking a deep breath, I gathered my thoughts and maintained my composure, I held my head high and I approached the wolf with my heart pounding in my chest. I stepped my feet into Fenrir’s territory and the wolf turned around, his eyes blazing with fury. “Who dares step into my territory without my permission? Does that person have a death wish?” I gulped, as I recognized the wolf in front of me. This was none other than the greatest alpha in the whole of the lands, Alpha Fenrir. His voice was deep, and it resonated with power and authority, making me feel insignificant. I cowered in heat and bowed my head in a submissive manner. “A lone wolf,

Raven’s POV.I walked into Fenrir's throne room , my heart still racing from the fight with alpha Damien. I had been sent there by Fenrir for alliance sake and now… after finding out he knows the truth about me, I had killed him in self-defense. But I couldn't tell Fenrir that. I had to spin a web of lies to keep myself safe. Until I am done with my mission, Fenrir can not know the truth. “Greetings alpha.” I said and bowed my head in respect."Tell me, Raven, how did the meeting with Damien go?" Fenrir asked, his eyes narrowed as his gaze swept pass me . His voice was firm,cold and lacked any sign of emotion. I took a deep breath, cooking up a tale of a wild wolf attack on my way back from Damien's territory. "I was attacked by a pack of wild wolves, Alpha Fenrir," I began, trying to sound as honest as possible . "They attacked me without warning, and I had to fight for my life. I managed to escape, but not without injuries. It came as a shock, hence I could not see their faces and

RAVEN’s POV. “Raven! Where the F U C K are you?” Alpha Fenrir hissed angrily. “Here alpha Fenrir,” I answered and quickly rushed out to meet him. Alpha Fenrir approached me, his eyes blazing with anger. I looked up at him and I bit my lower lip trying to calm my nerves. “Why is he mad? Did you do something? Do you think he found out the truth about you? Do you think he found out that you were sent by Ryker to spy on him? Is he mad because you lied to him?” The voice in my head pressed. I closed my eyes, hoping to get rid of the thoughts and calm my nerves. Whatever made him mad, I am about to find out. "So, Damien is dead," Fenrir stated his voice firm but his rage evident as he spoke. "And I hear you were the last one to see him alive. Care to explain?” My heart skipped a beat as the words came out of his mouth. This was the last thing I had expected to hear. I gulped, my eyes looking everywhere except his face. "I...I don't know what you're talking about, Alpha Fenrir

Raven’s POV.I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with thoughts of Ryker and the mysterious meeting. I had tried everything to get in touch with him during the day, but he was nowhere to be found. And now, with the meeting just hours away, I was starting to panic."What am I going to do?" I whispered to myself. I stopped pacing and looked around my room as if the solution would pop out, but there was none.The voice in my head was quick to respond. "You're going to go to the meeting, Raven. You have to know who this person is and what they want." I"But what if it's a trap?" I argued, my mind racing with fear. "What if Fenrir is behind this?" I thought about all the ways this could go wrong, all the ways I could be caught. All the ways Fenrir could choose to kill me. The voice sneered. "You're not going to let fear control you, are you? You're a wolf, Raven. You're supposed to be brave." It was right, of course. I was a wolf. I was supposed to be strong.I stopped pacing
