Reiver Chapter 12
Only a true wolf will fall in love with the moon. Unknown Author. Annie hung up the phone, and smiled to herself. Sabine was excited about the thought of going for a run with Hugh’s wolf as was Annie, she had often wondered what Knox looked like. Her phone beeped, it was an email from Hugh and once she clicked on it she saw a first class e-ticket for Edinburgh. “First class, swanky!” cooed Sabine. “Yeah!” agreed Annie, she had never travelled first class in her life. Annie assumed that Hugh would post the key card to her and it would arrive sometime the next day, but at home that evening there was a knock at the door. Upon answering it, Annie found a courier on her doorstep and after signing for the envelope she took it into the kitchen to open it. Inside, there was a gold key card and a hand written note from Hugh. After directions from the station and various key codes, he had written, Thanks for agreeing to come, I refuse to spend a weekend without you. H xx She went upst
Reiver Chapter 13
For the man dealt in a lost land of boulders and broken men. G.K. Chesterton Edward Addison sat at his desk silently fuming, he had just has a meeting with Adair the stupid prick son of his cousin and his thoughts were running out of control. Just when he had tried to do something almost legitimate he’d been out manoeuvred once again. He needed this tenement badly as his illegal activities had generated so much money he was having trouble moving it through his usual channels, currently he had £120,000 pounds piled up in a warehouse across town and he needed to move it. He flicked through the file Adair had got from Crozier, where the fuck the guy got his information from he had no idea, it was all there though, everything, every plant he had in place, the routes of the drugs, the money, everything. “FUCK” he shouted out loud. The first time was bad enough, he’d only let it go because it had taken years and a lot of money to get Adair in place but Crozier was taking the piss now.
Reiver Chapter 14
For love, little lone wolf, it’s hard to be welcoming but please do notice that tiny home in your heart, it needs some brushing of that dust collected from years of being deserted. The Silent Warrior. Annie had spent another busy week at work, she was getting used to cramming everything in during the week so she could spend the entire weekend with Hugh. On Thursday, Annie received another train ticket from Hugh followed by a phone call. “Stay with me again this weekend?” “I’d love to.” Sabine was running in circles with excitement. “I’ll fill the fridge,” said Hugh seductively, “I’m not planning on letting you get dressed at all until it’s time to go home.” “I won’t bother bringing any clothes in that case.” replied Annie laughing. Hugh was pleased at her reaction as he didn’t want her to be seen out with him considering he had been followed earlier in the week. She would be safe enough in the apartment, the doorman was a Reiver and the place was incredibly secure, he would p
Reiver Chapter 15
He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf. William Shakespeare. Thompson was pissed off, he had been sat outside Hugh’s apartment building for almost twenty four hours and there was no sign of the fucker. They had been sat out here in shifts since fucking Wednesday and there was no sign of him, he had gone north but surely he had to come back at some point. Every time a car left the building, if they couldn’t see who was in it they had to follow it. So far, he’d followed someone to visit their parents, he’d tailed someone to dinner and another to the airport for fucks sake. Thompson was starting to think he had made a mistake and the fucker wasn’t in there at all. This had to be where he’d had gone, otherwise Crozier had rounded a corner and disappeared in a puff of smoke so he must live here, right? This was taking too much man- power as far as Thompson was concerned, there were four cars here all just waiting. Addison was really spooked by this guy and Thompson didn’t blame hi
Reiver Chapter 16
He is a lone wolf and I am his moonlight. N.R. Hart Annie and Hugh discussed plans for the weekend over a leisurely late lunch at an Italian restaurant in town. “I’ve found a place we can go for a run and it only takes half an hour to drive there, there’s a few villages that we will need to avoid but it ought to be deserted at night.” said Annie over coffee. “Sounds perfect.” Hugh replied smiling at how pleased this made Knox, he wanted nothing more than to be with Sabine again. After lunch, they had a wander through the town before going home and changing into all weather gear for that night’s run. William saw them return to Annie’s and thought they were done for the night so he was surprised to see them exit the house a few hours later and climb into Crozier’s car dressed for a hike. William checked his watch, who the fuck goes hiking at seven thirty on a cold rainy October night? He waited until they had turned off the street before firing up the engine and following them. The

Bathed in his darkness he howls my name, pure blooded and true I follow him into the moonlight. N.R. Hart. Knox and Sabine ran for hours, relishing the feel of the ground rising up the mountainside under their paws and the wind blowing their fur out behind them. Annie looked forward to these runs as much as she looked forward to her weekends with Hugh. On reaching the summit, as they rested for a minute by a small tower of stones, Hugh mind linked Annie. “My daughter has asked that you come for Wolf Moon Dinner next month.” “Oh!” answered Annie, surprised, “That sounds great, I’d like to meet her.” “Yeah the thing is, it won’t just be Lyall, it will be everyone, Lyall and her mate, Lennox and his and all the kids.” “Oh, right.” thought Annie hesitantly. “I’ll understand if you rather not, I mean I can see that it would be quite daunting.” Hugh added quickly. “No it sounds great, really.” answered Annie. “We would probably leave the next day as I haven’t told Alpha Armstrong

Let them think you are weak and do what wolves and fire do best, Surprise them when they least expect it. Nikita Gill. Annie woke up crumpled up in the boot of a car with Sabine screaming at her to wake up. Annie felt nauseous and groggy as the car travelled at speed, throwing her from side to side. As the chloroform slowly left her system, Annie felt her panic take over. She fought to remember what had happened to her, oh....she was grabbed by two men. The scent, oh my goddess, the scent was the same as at Scafell, when they thought someone had been round the car. Annie fought the urge to vomit as the car hit a pot hole in the road, causing her body to be suspended in the air for a second, the antiseptic taste lingering in her mouth was making her gag and it took all she had to control her rising panic. She tried pushing the boot of the car up to see if she could force it open but she was still too disorientated and the bouncing of the car made it impossible for her to gain any pu
Reiver Chapter 19
Dark Wolf, You are as dark as night But I hope to see a white heart. Feathertail. Hugh and Lennox entered the building quietly after removing their trousers and shirts and hiding them outside the building in case they needed to shift. Knox tried to push Hugh up the stairs towards Annie but Hugh pulled him back, Annie was safe, he was beginning to wonder why he had been so worried, he should have known she was more than capable of taking care of herself against humans. What Hugh needed was to know how many they were up against, in nothing but their shorts, they crept along a corridor towards the sound of a radio. At the end of the corridor was a set of wooden double doors each with a window made of toughened glass. The radio was tuned into a local radio station and as Hugh and Lennox peeked through the window, they could see seven or eight men in dust masks and white overalls sat at a large bench weighing and bagging up what looked like class A drugs, either heroin or cocaine, Hugh

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship. Spanish proverb. “Sister?” Pete stopped mid swing and stared at the man, Rufus pushed forward and got a good look at him too. He did look a lot like Sarah, his scent was familiar as well, like Sarah’s but not as musky, Rufus leant forward and sniffed the man again. “I think he speaks the truth.” growled Rufus. “Same eyes as mate, smells like mate.” The man started gasping for breath as Pete was still squeezing his neck. Oh my Goddess, Sarah has a brother. The man started to struggle again, pulling at Pete’s hand on his throat. “Put him down, can’t breathe.” Rufus noted. “Shit, shit sorry.” said Pete hastily putting the man down and straightening his clothes. “Why have you been watching the house, why not come to the door?” Before he could answer three vehicles screeched down the stre

Truth will rise against falsehoodas oil above water.Miguel de Cervantes.Sarah watched in disbelief as Beta Saul launched himself over the table, he grabbed Kerpen’s gun hand as he flattened him to the floor in a tangle of chairs and limbs. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion, Sarah turned her head saw Hugh grab Annie and shield her body with his and she briefly saw Beta Johnstone leap across the table in Baden’s direction. There were screams and growls and the sound of the cracking of bones as someone shifted before she was knocked backwards off her feet and flattened to the floor. The fall knocked the wind out of her and she bashed the back of her head so hard she could see lights in front of her eyes. She heard Annie shouting to the wolves not to kill anyone and then as quickly as it started all the noise stopped, there was nothing but the sound of the Home Secretary shouting into his phone and the crash o

No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected. Julius Caesar. Alpha Armstrong was good to his word. Stuart drove them to an airfield deep in Reiver territory where they were bundled aboard his private plane and flown back to Edinburgh in relative comfort. “I think you’re the only human to have ever stepped foot on Reiver territory.” mused Pete as he they disembarked the plane. “And you’re the only wolf who has stepped on Reiver territory that has a human as mate I bet.” “Yeah probably.” “Let’s hope it’s a learning experience for Alpha Armstrong.” smiled Brother Andrew as they walked towards the airport building. Much to their surprise, Camron was waiting for them as they exited the building. “Alpha Armstrong had asked me to deliver you to Forensics Scotland in one piece, Brother Andrew, I can drop you at Rosslyn afterwards if that’s ok with y

Threats alone are the weapons of the threatened man. Leonardo Da Vinci The meeting broke up and the wolves watched as the Magdalene were marched out of the door. The Home Secretary approached them looking embarrassed. “I apologise unreservedly for their rudeness, I think they were embarrassed that they’ve just been schooled in their own religion.” he said with a weak smile. The wolves just nodded in agreement and he excused himself and caught up with Sarah as she made her way back along the corridor. “Miss Cole, I just want to thank you for keeping a cool head in there. I’m always worried that one day, one of these Parleys is going to end up in a massacre.” Sarah stopped walking as she didn’t want Sillicoe seeing Pete. “Why? From what I just witnessed it’s not the wolves you need to worry about, it’s the humans, they are the one throwing threats around. The wolves don’t seem that different to us if you

Most people do not listen with the intention to understand. Stephen R Covey. Pete waited to hear from the Home Secretary about the Parley. When the phone call finally came he feigned ignorance, careful he didn’t let them know he already knew. He informed Home Secretary Sillicoe that he was away at a conference that day but the Miss Cole would be in charge and much to his relief, Sillicoe had accepted Sarah’s authority without question, now all they had to do was convince the Magdalene to do the same. Annie and Hugh had raced back Edinburgh as soon as they could and Annie had been frantically adding names to the family tree ever since she had arrived but there was so much to do to get it ready in time. She had worked on it for twenty four hours solid but she was still panicking as they only had two days left and it was still nowhere near finished. Hugh read out the names and checked the dates while Annie wrote them in their p

He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same. Emily Bronte. Duncan broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers, his eyes closed, his breathing ragged. He wanted this she wolf so badly, Fael felt serene for the first time since he was a child and gently urged him on. Without a word he looked into Jen’s eyes, he had no idea what she wanted but the look she gave him filled him with hope, it was one of total adoration and his heart swelled, she wanted him too. He took her hand and led her up to the hay loft where he had been lying awake until he scented her coming into the stable building. Jen followed him and as she climbed up the ladder behind him she saw blankets laid out on the soft, sweet smelling straw, Duncan took her hand again and led her to them. Jen stripped her coat off and relieved herself of her boots then she was in Duncan’s arms again as he kissed down her neck

Many of the wolves that looked thee over when thou wast brought to the Council first are old too, and the young wolves believe, as Shere Khan has taught them, that a man-cub has no place with the Pack. Rudyard Kipling They ended the call so Alpha Solomon could arrange a Parley with the Government. Twenty minutes later Hugh called them back, the Parley would be in four days time, and as Pete had suggested, they were going to use the conference room at Forensics Scotland. “Why did Alpha Armstrong have to give permission for us to cross his land, me I can understand, I’m human, but you’re a Reiver, so what’s his problem?” Pete sighed, he had never wanted to tell her about this, but he decided now was the time to tell her the truth. He told her about not being able to set foot on Reiver territory or to pledge his allegiance because she, his mate, was human. He inwardly groaned as he saw how u

Poor little foals of an oppressed race! l love the languid patience of thy face. Samuel Taylor Coleridge. She found brief respite when she saw Brother Andrew climb out of the car. Thank the Goddess he was alive, he shook hands with Alpha Solomon before giving her a hug. He held her said he was proud of her which made her heart swell, no one had ever said to her before, not even her parents. She smiled through her tears and helped her mentor up the steps and into the warmth of the pack house. Brother Andrew spoke with his wolf. “We might have to lock those two in a room together, they are as stubborn as each other.” Kirk huffed with laughter but thought it was probably going to take something that drastic to break the deadlock between them, neither Brother Andrew nor his wolf had any idea why they were so determined to stay away from each other, but he could see the pain in Jen’s face no ma
