Do you really think this is a good idea? What about Jamie?” Kayla asks me, concerned we are making the wrong decision.
“We never wanted this, any of it.” I counter, walking deep into the woods and further away from Dorians pack lands. “We’ll be better off alone, like before.”
“But we weren’t alone before, we had mother with us.”
I sigh, frustrated that my own wolf doesn’t trust us or my decisions. “We can do this Kayla, we are strong enough to survive on our own.”
“What about the fact that we will become weaker away from our mates? What if we are attacked and we can’t defend ourselves?” Growls my wolf, “you have to think this through, this
It was late into the evening when I arrived at the cabin, my feet and back aching like they never have before. I didn't realise how far it was the first time around, though I guess that's because I didn't exactly walk. the cabin looked just like it did when I left, and yet so much different, so much had happened since I last saw it, and not all of it good. We'll, most of it wasn't bad to be honest. But I couldn't change the past, no one could. I just had to get the money and leave, start a new life somewhere else, somewhere that they wouldn't find me. Somewhere I could call home. It’s nice to see home again. Kayla says, a slight sigh of content coating her voice. It is. I reply, a soft smile crossing my face. It’s a shame that mother isn’t here, she’ll make it all better. She would, I really miss her. I sigh, wishing she could be here, wishing that she wasn’t dead. Me too. Kayla replies, but don’t get down about it, we’re here to start again, just like you said. You are right
what do we do? i asked my wolf, dodging out of the way of one of my attackers. we fight. She growls, lending me her strength. i should have known better than to leave the safety of Dorian's pack, we were just beginning to make things work, i shouldn't have taken off like that. it was a mistake i would not make again, if i got out of this alive i would go back and ask for forgiveness, explain that i became overwhelmed by everything. I wasn't a cowered, i could take responsibility for my actions, even if that meant pain. But right now i needed to focus, if i was going to get out of this alive i had to fight back, i had to show them i wasn't weak and easily taken down. i used the abilitiy i had barley any practice in, knowing i could manipulate the dirt around me. there was only one problem, i was beginning to lose my temper, something that could potentially become dangerous. i lifted several rocks into the air using my gift and launched them at the three who were attacking me, catc
i woke up in dark room, my arms chained to the wall behind me, i try to struggle but the instant i do my skin burns, letting me know that the chains are silver, one of the most deadly things to our kind. it makes us weak and disconects us from our wolf. panic seeps through me, i dont know what to do, or how to escape, i have always been a weak wolf, mother tried to toughen me up, but i was always so scared.The one time i try and take destiny into my own hands and i am kidnapped and chained somehwere dark, no light anyhwhere. i pull my knees towards my chest and sob, i was trapped left at the mercy of the alpha who killed my father. how could i let this happen?Kayla please tell me you are there, i need you! i call out desperately, only to be met by silence, the silver severing our bond. What was i going to do? escape wasnt an option, not when i didnt know where i was, and how could i escape from these chains? i wasnt strong enough to break silver, not with how weak it was making my
Beta Zack dragged me through the dungeon and up the stairs, I guessed he was leading me to the alpha, though I didn't know for sure, I couldn't follow the directions properly, ever turn and corner had me confused, the three flights of stairs he pulled me up making my legs ache. "Keep up, we are already late because you decided to sleep so long." He snaps, seeming stressed and nervous at the same time."it's not my fault, you are the one who made me sleep." I murmur, doing my best to keep up with his pace. it's not like I had a choice in any of this, I was kidnapped against my will, something that I had experienced before. I just hoped that I wouldn't get raped this time. Maybe Zane would be more gentle than Dorian. but I wasn't about to get my hopes up, I knew better than that. This alpha killed my father, I had to be careful, if I disobey him, I might find myself if a worse situation than when I woke up. Maybe Dorian and Jamie would find me and everything would be ok, but I ran a
A pack. That’s what most wolves seems to have, but not us, we were free, we didn’t have to live by someone else’s rules, didn’t have to bow down to an Alpha as though he was the master of our souls. Mother took us away from that, gave us something much better, a small cottage in the woods with our own vegetable garden and no pretentious male telling us what to do. She did belong to a pack once, long before I was born, she was The Alpha’s firstborn daughter, but he was cruel and controlling, most of them were. They didn’t stand for defiance of any kind, according to mum they would lock you in a dark hole in the ground if you disobeyed, leaving you without food or water for 5-7 days depending on your size, according to her they called it ‘segregation’. I didn’t want to experience that, I didn’t want anything to do with a pack, I was happy here, our quite life was perfect, just me and the woman who raised me spen
I watched the flames dance, slightly impatient that the biscuits were not ready yet, I wanted them to be finished before she returned from the garden but it was never the case, I always had terrible timing. I wanted to tell her not to go to the city tomorrow, that I had a bad feeling pooling in the pit of my stomach, but I didn’t know how to explain and I knew that we needed the trip. We were down to our last four tins of canned food and a bag of rice, the candles melting faster than they do in the summer months before of the longer nights.As if hearing my internal battle, my mother smiled softly, “Riven, I know you hate it when I leave for human territory, but I will always come back to you, just as I have done every month from the time you could walk.”I tucked my hair behind my ears and turned to face her, wishing that I wasn’t so special so that I could go with her to make sure that she was safe, but a human woul
I want meat today. Kayla whined softly, but we both knew that we couldn’t leave the cabin while mother was away, if she returned and we were nowhere to be found, she would scold us for the rest of our lives.When she returns we will ask for a hunt, maybe a dear or a few rabbits. But today, we have fruit pie. I laughed softly, placing the pie into the place beneath the fire to cook.Kayla agreed, though it was with some reluctance as I made a fresh pot of coffee and moved to sit by the window, my feet on the table as I watched the leaves gently fall from the trees. It would be winter not long after my eighteenth birthday and that is when mother would bring the ingredients for what she called a Christmas pudding and we would cut down a tree and put it in the cabin after decorating it with chestnuts and acorns.Winter was my favourite time of the yea
Instinctively I stumbled back, crashing into the door and beginning to hyperventilate, Kayla screaming at me to run, though not to him as I had imagined she would. She knew from the look in his eyes that he would not be a loving mate, he would be controlling and cruel just as mother said, she wanted badly to reject him right there, but without his name and the name of his pack, we could not.He took a step forward before seeming to realise what he was doing and stopping in his tracks, his voice confused and tense. “Who are you?” He asked.Instead of answering his question I asked one of my own, silent tears sliding down my cheeks as I searched those before me through my hair, knowing they wouldn’t see the odd colour of my eyes nor my freckled face through my thick hair.“Is she dead?” I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper, though I knew each of them had heard me from the

I stared at Liam for a long moment, I didn't want to be Luna, I wanted a simple life, but I knew that me and Dorian were trying to make up and I didn't want to ruin it, we were mates after all. I coukdnt exactly get away from him even if I wanted to."yeah guess you are lucky." I half laughed, setting the plates onto the table."You don't seem convinced. Is something bothering you?" Liam asks, watching me closely as he takes his seat."I barley know anything about pack life, or life with others in general, I'm not sure I'll be a good Luna." I say slowly, picking at my food. "I'm not sure I want to be Luna."The beta sighs, it's your duty as the alphas mate to help run the pack, I know you had a hard start here, but I think you could be happy. We aren't as bad as we look, we just don't like rogues." he takes a bite of the food. "Mmm this is good.""not everyone is a
I woke up the next morning to find that Dorian was gone, and by how faint his scent was he had left sometime in the middle of the night, long before the sun came up, but why? had something come up that couldn't wait? did someone contact him and ask for his help? I still didn't know how packs worked, but from what I did know alphas were important and they ran the pack, everything had to go through them. All decisions had to be approved by him. I got up from the bed and stretched my stif body, yawning as I walked into the bathroom, my slow pace evidence enough that I hadn't slept well, at least; not after he left I didn't. I wished that pack business could wait for a little while and we could spend some time together fixing things between us. But I knew that I couldn't ask him to neglect his people because of me. That wouldn't be right. from what I had
After our talk Dorian went to deal with some pack business, saying that he would be back later to get us some dinner. He asked that I stay in the room until then, but he left me three books to read and some light snacks to keep me occupied.I was glad that he was finally accepting me, even if he had a long way to go before I could fully trust him, it was a start; one that we both needed. I had so many questions about the pack, about how things are run here and how different they are to the way Jamie does things. I was happy that Dorian was willing to make things work with me, especially since we were both trapped together because of the mate bond, it would have been a shame if we remained adimant on hating each other. I wanted a nice life, one that my mother would approve of, and even though he killed her and raped me, I was willing to give it a try.I wasn't sure what would come next, or if we would ever actually l
I wake up in the same room I ran from, my heart jumping into my Throat as I sat up and looked around, relieved when I didn't see Dorian anywhere. I climbed from the bed and walked toward the window, noticing the sun was beginning to set, how long had I been out for?I frowned when I noticed the bars across the glass, making it impossible to open the window or jump out, he had trapped me. I sigh, turning away from the window and walking towards the door, growling when I realised that was also locked. He had thrown me in the same room, probably to rot and I doubted he had any intention of taking me back to Jamie once the week was over, he wouldn't want me out of his sight.I feared that perhaps it would be much the same as before I escaped, locked in a room and unable to do anything. I'd hate if that was the case, so instead I bang on the door, shouting Dorian's name.I wasn't waiting long before I heard footsteps appr
