I woke up the next morning and the moment my eyes opened, a smile graced my face as I remembered last night. I tried to imagine the feel of it all again and I couldn’t wait until we had the chance to do it again. If I couldn’t experience the real thing, then this would have to suffice, and it was more than I ever expected to feel.

As I led there dreamily, with the flashing images of Leo kissing my hand and how silly I felt, reading so much into one peck, like I was caught up in some sort of girlish and childish crush. A sudden crash from downstairs jerked me out of my daydream and I bolted upright in bed. Oh shit! I thought to myself. Not again!.

I quickly ran downstairs to see my uncle pressing my father up against the wall, shouting in his face as my mother pleaded with him to stop.

“JUST TELL ME WHERE THE FUCKING ROGUES ARE! I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME AS PRISONERS!” He belted in father’s face.

“Filton, just calm down, ok? We can talk about this”. Father replied, trying to st

  • Raven - The runaway wolf    Chapter 16.

    For the last week I’d been training with Leo any chance I got. Whether it was an hour or more we’d rush to the woods, and we wouldn’t stop until I could barely lift my arms up. Every part of me was sore and ached but I finally felt as though I was able to make use of the strengths I knew I always had.Leo was a terrific coach and training partner, but I despised him the moment he took off his shirt three days ago when our sparring made him all sweaty. I could have sworn he was just doing it to distract me, and at times it was working and when I was alone and could daydream about it, I would! I’d picture just how refined and protruding each muscle was and the way they clenched and moved in sync. He’d also been keeping up with his constant hand kissing each time he walked me home, which was not only messing with these damn butterflies that like to keep flittering around in my stomach, but it was confusing. I did want him… Oh I wanted him a lot! Each time he kissed my hand now, I’d rathe

    My ass was almost numb from sitting so still in the chair for so long and I wouldn’t be surprised if mum had no nail left after biting it so nervously.We purposely kept quiet, so we didn’t wake uncle and we anxiously waited for Caleb’s howl or the alarm and for three hours, neither had come. The longer it went on the more worried we became and although neither of us spoke it, I knew we were both thinking the same thing… we were both expecting to hear the alarm. Occasionally we would hear yelps and loud growls and I just hoped over and over those yelps didn’t come from father or Leo.“Mum…. Listen!”. I whispered with alert as I suddenly sat up straight, straining my ears to hear.“What? What was it?” She whispered back nervously.“A howl, I’m sure I heard it!”. “I didn’t hear anything, Raven, are you sure?” “I know I heard it!”. I told her as I stood from my chair and quickly dashed over to the door.“Wait!” Mother stopped me, slamming her hand on the door so I couldn’t open it.“I’

    Three days I had been waiting around, only able to rely on updates from father. He had told me every night he came home from the palace that both the alpha and Luna had been spending most of their time at the hospital watching over Leo. He also insisted that right now it as pointless me even visiting seeing as he still hadn’t woken up yet since he was attacked. His injuries were quite severe and deep, and he had been clawed right across his abdomen. He’d live and he’d heal, but it was going to take time for him to recover, especially to the point of him being able to train again, which I knew meant such a big deal to him.It was only last night that father told me that Leo had finally woken up but only for small moments here and there and so, the alpha and Luna had become a bit more lenient with him having visitors today, and that perhaps I could try and see him for myself.I stood looking at my reflection in my bedroom mirror fiddling with my hair. I had on a tidy black blouse and a

    I felt an eery chill in the air as I started walking home from the hospital. Even though the sun had been shining all day, it just felt cold, quiet and gloomy. I wrapped my arms around my chest and began quickening my pace as I walked, feeling slightly on edge now that I was out here alone and from Leo’s previous warnings.I suddenly sniffed the air as I could smell a faint smell of fresh smoke wafting along the path. As I looked in the distance, I could see an orange glow covered in thick, black smoke. My heart lurched and I stomped quickly around the corner. Just as I passed the houses in view, there ahead, I could see my house and two others right next to it, burning on fire.“NOOO!”. I shouted as my heart raced. I ran as fast as I could toward my house, only noticing a few bystanders yelling for help and shouting for anyone inside.“MUUUM! MUUUM!”. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I got closer. “UNCLE! MUUUM!”. I screamed again as tears began to form in my eyes. I didn’t hesit

    We kept walking, not taking any breaks, just treading further and further along the forest, going deeper than I’d hoped. There’s no way I could find my way home, especially on my own.“We’re here”. The man finally spoke and when I looked ahead, I good see through a cluster of trees, small orange lights glowing, dotted around.As soon as we walked through the trees and got to the other side, I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Where are we?” I asked him.“Camp! The safe zone!”. I simply replied. “Wait here!”. He ordered.I stood in the one spot as I looked around, there were several little wooden huts and cabins and ladders all up along some of the trees that lead to planked walkways. I scanned them, following where they led to with my eyes, and on opposite sides of the camp were two circular areas resting near the tops of the trees, and I could just about see two figures standing, watching on each of them. I glanced back at the man, to see he had walked to the first cabin and knocked on the

    “Good morning grams”. I greeted her groggily as I sat up on the wooden bench.“Good morning my dear”. She replied with her back facing me as she filled two cups with hot water.“It feels so bizarre waking up to see you”. “I feel the same”. She said, turning around to hand me one of the cups. “I’ve put more herbs in it again. It’ll help your wound, everything in there is very good for you”. “Thank you”. I replied with a tired smile as I took the cup. “What is this place anyway, grams? Last night, I saw other people here. Who were they?” “I’ll tell you everything soon enough. But first I want you to tell me what you know about these rogues that attacked Whitlock”. “I don’t really know much actually”. I told her with a sigh. “It’s the second attack we’ve had in the space of a few weeks. When the first attack happened, there weren’t many of them. The second time, there were more, but Leo said they were quite weak, easy to take down. He seems to think the pack is being tested”. “Teste

    My last four days at the camp have been…. Different. Good but different. Everyone here have been very welcoming especially when they learned I was Gram’s granddaughter, although they’d recognised it almost immediately with our same raven black hair and blue eyes. I spent most days just slotting myself in with whatever task certain groups were doing, whether that was gathering food or water. Keeping the camp up together, and last night I even had my very first guarding duty. I had begged Grams to let me do it, and she finally agreed, only if I had someone right next to me the whole time. It was actually fun being partnered with Izzy. She was twenty two, so close to me in age, long blonde hair and green eyes, she was pretty, tough and just such a breath of fresh air compared to the girls I had been used to. The more we got to know each other through the night, the more honest we became about our pasts and when I told her about the Whitlock pack, my family, Leo and why I ran away, she c

    “ENOUGH! IT’S NOT WORKING”. I shouted in frustration to grams and Dante. We’d been doing this for a week now and so far there had been no sign of my wolf. “You just want to give up, do you? Like you gave up on your pack when you ran away!”. She goaded just as she had been for the past three days. “I didn’t give up! I wanted to go back!”. I replied defensively. “Oh, of course you did. If you say so, Raven, then I guess it must be true”. “Stop it grams!”. I said looking at her with warning. “Why, Raven? Can you honestly say you put up much of a fight or protest to go back?”. “I was scared grams!”. “Yes, scared of everything! Scared of being everything you’re meant to be! Or do you enjoy being on the end of everyone’s insults?” “That’s enough now, you’re going too far!”. “Me? You’re the one who told me you felt as though you let your family down! Is that it, Raven? You’re so comfortable with that idea, you have no interest on being true to yourself?” “I’ve always been true

    “I have something for you all”. I grinned mysteriously at the women. We had just finished another training session, which I had kept up with for the last six weeks of becoming Luna to reassure them that my dedication to them wouldn’t change.“You have something… what?” Abigail asked curiously as they all grouped together in front of me.I walked over to my bag that I always stuffed a towel and change of shirt into, but today I had something else… something I knew they had been wanting since we first started our sessions.I took out the document and held it out for them to see. Their eyes all wandered along it, but I could see the puzzlement in their faces.“What is it?” Clarissa questioned as they all looked at me.“Its what you all wanted”. I smiled. “As Luna, I gave the proposal to your new alpha, and…. “ I paused to build up their anticipation. “And your alpha, was more than happy to sign it off. So, from now on, any female of Whitlock that does the appropriate training can become

    “Wow look at our little girl”. Mother cooed as she and my father beamed at me in my wedding dress. “Soon to be a Luna”. She sniffled as father subtly wiped a tear that was about to escape his eye.“She’s not so little now, is she?” Father commented as he let out a heavy bittersweet exhale. “Our little girl… going to be the Luna”. He said as he shook his head trying to accept how much had changed. “You have come so far, my girl, all on your own strength”. “She really has, hasn’t she”. Mother agreed with a watery smile as I grinned bashfully at them, swaying my dress side to side, listening to the sound of the material swooshing.On the surface I looked confident and excited, but in reality my hands were sweating and so were my legs. I couldn’t wait to marry Leo, but every member of our pack were going to be at the ceremony today and to celebrate with us afterward. Having all of that kind of attention and eyes on me was something I still wasn’t used to, and in a way, I kind of missed t

    I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel secured around my chest as I dried my hair with another. I inwardly smiled as through the balcony glass doors, I could see the sun was beginning to set, so I walked out to the edge and rested my arms on the balcony wall looking out at Whitlock. Apart from a few children running and laughing on their way home from the lake, it all felt so warm, peaceful and safe. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, savouring the cool spring air and my heart thumped cheerfully at how happy I was to finally be back home.I had arrived back late last night, and the first thing I did as rush to Leo’s room and woke him up with a kiss on his cheek, and the moment he opened his eyes, he wrapped his arms around me, pulled me onto the bed and frantically tore each other’s clothes off from the yearning arousal we had the moment we were back in each other’s arms. The next morning, I surprised my parents for breakfast and told them all about how Clemonte was comin

    Nine weeks had come and gone… Nine weeks I had once again been away from home, and I was missing it more and more each day. Me and Leo had been able to speak twice a week on the phone, and I knew by his voice he was feeling the same as I was about us being apart for so long. But with his own duties, his training and taking over my classes with the she-wolves, there was just no time for him to visit.I had many conversations with Caleb and Wayne, and it was decided that Jonah would come to Clemonte with Wayne’s sister, Diana and her mate Corbin in just another weeks time. According to Wayne, most of Corbin’s family had since moved on to other packs and they had already been contemplating a new chapter in their lives, so it didn’t take as much persuasion as Wayne had thought. Jonah would help them for six months to settle in and learn their new roles as alpha and Luna to Clemonte, and with a son and daughter of their own, if they chose to mate with one of Clemonte’s members, that would

    For the following week, me and my night wolves had taken over the rule of Clemonte. When Robert had killed James and we locked up his people, I spoke to both Caleb and Wayne about what had happened, and I was surprised by how relieved they sounded of his demise. But with no heirs, they had both asked that we begin to lead Clemonte back into shape until they could find someone to be its next ruler.We had no intentions of being cruel to them, neglect them or bully them whilst we were here, but from the way James and his pack house lived, there were clearly no strict rules, authority or structure. James always lived behind his wall that surrounded the pack house with his guards, their wives and whatever women they had become fond of and made the cut to living within his home.It baffled us at how little the rest of his people ever saw him or had protection from him or his guards. Every day, we let his people come out three times a day for fresh air, food and water, but we always kept th

    We stormed all the way through the forest, until our tongues were hanging out of our mouths, and we were panting for breath. Luckily for our breed, the desire to protect and hunt down anyone targeting our own was stronger than the ache in our legs and the hunger in our stomach’s.As soon as we had Clemonte in sight, it gave us even more of a push to run faster. We sped along, growling deep in our chests as we stormed through his broken fence and across the field. Foolish James thought his mere wall would stop any intrusions but together as a pack we all rushed to it as a unit and smashed our bodies into it, smashing it to the floor, causing everyone outside of the pack house to scream and shout in alarm. We quickly rolled back onto our feet and began chasing all the men and women as they tried to flee or shift into their wolves. We’d grab them in our mouths, piercing their skin with our teeth, enough to cause them pain and submission but not to kill, and knocking them off their feet a

    One month later:“Another successful session everyone!” I chimed to all the women as they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and walked toward me, panting with breaths.“Are we always going to be able to train? Because I don’t think I can go back to how things were before”. Clarissa asked as the other women nodded in agreement.“Of course. We’ll continue our sessions for as long as you all want to”. I responded, noticing the hopefulness in their eyes.“Oh, good, cause I haven’t had this much fun in a long time, and now I feel like I’m… I’m”. “Powerful?” Laura finished her sentence as Clarissa tried to find the right word.“Yes! Yes, that’s it”. She exclaimed. “I feel like I don’t have to be so scared now if any threat comes to our border again”. “Yea, me too”. All the other women agreed in unison“That’s amazing! That’s exactly why we’re doing these classes, it’s what I want you all to feel”. I smiled, seeing the passion in their eagerness to train.“But is there more?” Jodie quiz

    You really think they could handle training alongside men?” Caleb asked with a doubtful frown as I filled out the progress of each she-wolf on their training forms.“Yes, I do”. I answered adamantly as I glanced up from the paperwork, but his frown didn’t shift.“But they’ve only been training for three weeks”. “Yes, but you should see them! They’re so determined to improve. They bring their A – game to every session. They’re honestly so skilled already”. “I don’t know”. Caleb sighed as he signed off the schedule sheets for the patrol shifts.I slumped my shoulders in annoyance that he wouldn’t even attend one session to see just how incredible the women of our pack were. For once they were given the opportunity to show their capability, and I was the first to say how impressed I was. “Could you at least consider it? Just think of all the new opportunities it would open up for them. They could help patrol the borders or become palace guards! They’d be so good at it, and I can see ho

    I dragged him through the dirt, along the sharp stones, branches and thorns as he winged as my teeth still dug into his flesh and begged for me to let him go, but I knew a man like James and his pack needed a strong enough warning so that me and the other night wolves could be free to roam.The rest of the men all whimpered and didn’t try to retaliate as we led them all back to their land. We finally reached the border at first light as the ground beneath us now lay frosty and the grass was damp but the forest around us smelt fresh and earthly rich.We stopped at their dilapidated fence, and I glanced back at the night wolves to make some noise and they all howled together to alert Clemonte of our arrival. Moments later, James and a gathering of his men came out from his pack house walls and stopped at the top of the field, looking at us with apprehension. I dropped the man from my mouth and growled and he didn’t hesitate to try and scramble to his feet as he clutched his shoulder. He
