The Falcon Ridge Series Book 5 Set two months after the Battle of Black Rock. In an old growth forest east of Aurora, the city of Dragons. Wren Miller: You can sum up the story of my life in three words I. Am. Alone. I was raised by the Falcon Ridge Security Unit after they told me everyone I ever knew and loved was dead. I traveled through life pretending I felt like I had a pack, but in truth I longed for my own. I often wished for death. That all changes when I find out some of my pack was alive. Living like Nomads in the wilderness. I'm elated to find them, but my happiness is crushed when the Alpha is not even remotely happy to see me. As much as it pains me, I don't want to see him either after finding out what he has become. Lucius Drake: For 10 years I survived in the wilderness. I built us back up from the ashes that were left of the attack on us. I was happy to live this way. Living off the land. Taking care of my pack. Then she shows up. Seeing her makes my blood boil. Not only did she abandon her pack. She abandoned me. I don't care what the Alliance told her. I never gave up on the hope she was alive. Apparently, she did. I'm jaded and angry. It also doesn't help that I have the Dragons breathing down my neck. We've been relying on them for protection and trade, but now they want more. They want us to join them permanently, which I will only do if I'm dead.

Chapter 2
WREN“Raven.” I breathe. I’m consumed with grief and guilt.My beautiful baby sister, I lost ten years ago in the storm, was standing right in front of me.Her blue eyes just as gorgeous as my mother’s. Her hair jet black like my father’s. Now I see it. She’s still as beautiful as I remember even though she was only ten when I lost her in a crowd of fleeing people.“Raven….” My breath hitches as I’m overcome by the visions of that day.I start to break down, but I don’t take my eyes off her.“Wren!” She runs to me. She throws her arms around my neck, crying. “I missed you so much.”I can barely touch her. I think this a dream. A mirage. A trick of my mind because I’ve been alone for so long.I raise my shaky arms. Not knowing if I could even trust that what they felt was real.When my hands connect with her back, I lose it. “Oh my God….” I cry out. “Raven...” I hug her so tight as I sob hard.I push her back. Swallowing my shock. “How? How is this possible?” I pull her into me again.

Chapter 3
WRENWe talked the whole way to Helena. Raven has grown up so much. She told me how she likes to hunt and she likes helping the women of the pack.I asked her if she had a boyfriend because that’s what sisters do and she confirmed. His name is Dale Hunter. He apparently treats her right and she loves him. I’m happy for her.She asked me the same question. I told her about Jayson and how we were in love for a year. When the Blue Moon showed us we weren’t mates, we fell apart. Jayson couldn’t handle it. He was so sure. I never dated anyone else after that.We talked about my job with the Alliance. I told her all the stories of the events in the last three years. Told her about Torrent, White, and Rennet. I talked about how my friends all found their mates. It was great. Unreal actually. It used to be that finding your fated mate was rare, but when it comes to my friends, they all hit the jackpot and are now riding the fated bond high.I wish I could have the same. Aside from Jayson, the

Chapter 4
WRENA tear slips from my unblinking eye.“Lucius.” I choke.He rises to his feet as his face twists into anger. His lips turn to a snarl. “Get out.”I snap out of my shock and swallow. “Lucius, wait….”He steps forward, pointing at the door. “Get Out!” He yelled.I look around the room and back at him. “Lucius, please….” I beg as more tears fall.“GET OUT!!” His growl was dripping with Alpha tone.I turned on my heels and ran. I ran past Raven and Curtis. I ran into the village. Sobbing as I commanded my feet to go as fast as they could.“Wren, wait!” I heard Raven call me, but I didn’t stop.I ran out of the village into the clearing.Crying hard, I tried to outrun the pain. I tried to outrun the heartbreak. I tried to outrun the memories.‘One day, Wren. I’m going to be a world-famous rock star. My concerts will be filled with millions and you’ll have front row seats at every one of them.’‘Really. You’d take me with you?’‘Of course, Wren. I love you.’‘I love you, too.’Sounds of

Chapter 5
LUCIUSStill rattled by seeing Wren after all these years, I headed back to the village to try and get my head back on to what’s first priority. My pack.Now that she’s gone, I won’t have to worry about her again.I hit the clearing edge and I caught a scent. I put my nose to the air. It smelled like bacon?I walked to the clearing and looked around. The moon was high and bright, but I didn’t need its light to see the small campfire at the edge of the territory.I don’t fucking believe it.I ran back to my house, shifted and put some clothes on.“Hey, it’s almost time for the fire.” Curtis yells.“Not now.” I growl as I stride through the village toward the clearing.I jog across it to find a tent has been erected “I thought I told you to leave!” I yelled as I ran up to Wren sitting on a log cooking food on a fire.Without looking at me she says in a monotone tone. “I thought I told you I wasn’t leaving without Raven.”“I’ll carry you out if here if I have to, Wren.” I warn.She turns

Chapter 6
WRENI’ve been camped out here by the village for almost a week now. Still, there’s no sign of Raven. I figured she’d at least come and sit with me. I can only assume Lucius is keeping her in the camp.There’s no way I’m leaving, so it’s just a waiting game at this point.Lucius does seem to be breaking a bit. The other day at the lake showed that. He seemed a tad less aggressive than normal. Don’t think I didn’t notice his arousal either because I did.He also didn’t threaten me in his usual way either. Instead, he just left. I wonder if he’s accepted our standoff for now. It seems like it.As I watch the village from afar, I can see movement. They seem to be in a hurry.I stand and watch as some women and pups hug the men and walk off to a different part of the forest. The men turn back into the village.I’m curious to know what’s going on? Is this some job the women and children can do or is something happening that requires the women and children to leave.I decide to check it out

Chapter 7
LUCIUS“Raven? Raven, get your ass out here now!” I yell as I get close to Wren’s campsite.The panel to the tent zips open and Raven pokes her head out. Her face covered in guilt and fear. She steps out slowly and Wren is right behind her.I grab Ravens arm and pull her to me, pointing a finger in her face. “What did I tell you? You weren’t to come down here. Did I not tell you that?”Wren grabbed my hand. “Get your hands off her! This was not her fault! You have no right to speak to her like that!”I look at Raven. “Get home.” I point to the village.Raven looks at me and Wren and turns, running for the village.“You have some nerve…” I growl at him.“Pack your stuff. You’re coming too.” I cross my arms.It takes me a second. “What?”“You heard me. Pack up. You’re moving to the village.” I speak in an authoritative tone.She pulls attitude. “No. I don’t think I want to be around you.”I looked at her confused. “Wren, pack your shit up and get to the village!”“No, Lu. I won’t” She c

WREN“Yes, Luna...I know…But the Alphas helping right?...Ok…Tell you what, call Alpha Duke…Yes…He’s a really good trainer…I’m not sure when I’ll be back…I’m sorry, Luna. This is just really important…Yes…I call you when I can…….Ok. bye.”I hang up with Sam. She’s upset that won’t be coming back anytime soon, but she understood.Now, that I’m in with Lucius, I can’t go now.Sitting on the foothill, outside the village, I put my phone in my pocket and pick up my project I’ve been working on for the last few days.Since Lucius has been adamant on me learning to hunt in human form, I decided to try and revive a skill my father taught me years ago. The Bow.I bend the thick stick and tie the rope I had to each end. I put it under tension and pull on it. Aiming it. I pick up one of six arrows I made. I tried to make them as even and balanced as possible. I put the rope in the notch between the feathers I found from the quail that run around here.On the end, I put some carved bone arrow hea

Chapter 9
LUCIUS Seeing Wren at the fire the other night has had my head all messed up. I still hate her, but something inside wants me to get closer. Urging me to get closer. As I walk through the village and pass her at her tent, I turn my head to her and she smiles. I don’t smile back. I don’t want to give her too much. I probably shouldn’t have given her the amount that I have already. As I get to the path to my house, Wren jogs up beside me. “Hey. I…um…just wanted to thank you for the other night.” She fixed her long, black hair that was in a ponytail. “It’s no big deal, really.” I grumble. “It is to me, Lu. I know having me here is uncomfortable for you. It just meant a lot to see how much you love this pack.” She stopped in my yard. I turn. “Seriously, it’s nothing.” I was about to say goodbye when I heard yells from the village. “The hunting party’s back!” Some shouted. I run back to the center of the village with Wren right behind me. The hunting party entered the village. De

Chapter 10
WREN“You’re getting pretty good with that thing.” Lucius points to my bow as we walk back to the village.He’s carrying the deer I killed on his shoulder. “Keep this up and we’ll have food for a month.” He quickly smiles.I look down, smiling. “I want to do my part. I like it here. I like the people. I want to help.”He leans in. “Thank you.” He backs off and we continue to walk out of the forest into the clearing.As we entered, we heard shouting.“RAIDERS!! RAIDERS!”Screams rose from the village.“Raiders?” I look at Lucius.“Fuck!” He dropped the deer and ran.With a hop, I ran right behind him.When we got to the village, people were running everywhere.“GET THE CHILDREN OUT NOW!” Lucius yells as we enter the village.Then I saw them. At least fifteen men with weapons. Fighting our men, ransacking supplies. Raiding houses. Women scream as the run with children in their arms.Lucius immediately started grabbing men and hitting them. Throwing them across the village center.I run
