Raphael Stars...I leaned my back against the door of the dungeons and let out a sigh.What just happened in there?My heart was thundering in my chest, my pulse was beating like it never had before and my head was filled with a cloud of uncertainty.I looked down at my right hand with confusion, wondering what had gotten in to me.The purpose of me coming to the dungeons was to see how Luca was doing. I wanted to see if he'd learned his lesson.The thought of having to lock my gamma's wolf deep in the back of his head has been bothering me since the moment I made the choice.I knew Luca needed to be taught a lesson. What he did was unforgivable. Not only did he go against my direct order, but he also put her in danger.The fact that her safety mattered to me more than my authority boggled me.But what had been done was done and I knew two days was good enough to snap Luca out of whatever had gotten him when he dragged Zinnia to Landor's room.When I first stepped in to the d
Mina Wolf...It's back to log collection once again. First thing in the morning and Megan ordered me to go get more logs.The area near the back door of the main pack house is crowded by several logs that I'd collected for the last two days.Yet, Megan wanted more logs and if I said no, I knew that would bring me more trouble. So, I bowed my head and got to work.I mindlessly went to and from the main pack house, transporting freshly chopped logs from the woods by the two silver poles.Kalven, the large warrior that was set to keep an eye on me, kept following me as I went back and forth with the logs.My body was dragging from exhaustion but my mind was racing, constantly taking me back to the previous night and reminding me of the odd interaction I had with Raphael.After Raphael had left me last night, Beta Silver had shown up with a black plastic bag in his hands. He'd offered me dinner and went to sit on the ground with his back pressed against the bars.The entire time I was pick
I sat by the chopped logs in the woods near the two silver poles, holding on to my bleeding arm.The ground was a bit warm under my legs and a few rays of sun were peeking through the tall trees, creating a beautiful art of nature. The place was truly breath taking. I roamed my eyes around the woods, looking at the small and tall trees, admiring the various colors of the leaves. I let out as sigh as I let go of my bleeding arm. I looked down at my hand and the sight of blood made me sick.That was scary. I could never know what could tick Raphael off.I ask for mercy and he's triggered. I do something good by cleaning the dust off of the beautiful picture frame and he's triggered. I do the job I was asked to do by trying to clean the blue nursery and he's triggered.That makes survival ten times harder that it needs to be. After I'd ran out of his office, I'd rushed out of the main pack house through the back door and made my way to the woods by the two silver poles.I knew I didn'
Raphael Stars...I looked at the back of the picture frame that stood tall on top of my desk, facing towards my chair.My heart was thundering in my chest. My hands shook at the thought of touching the frame to turn it down again.My chest constricted at the sight. I couldn't walk around the large desk to sit on my chair. If I do, then I would have to face the picture, my absolute nightmare. I turned away from the desk but I knew I couldn't walk out of this study until I have my wolf under control as much as I could. The moment I'd walked in to my study for a long day of looking dow at papers and not actually joining my people as their leader, I'd found my little green flower standing in front of my desk.At first, I was shocked to see her in my study. I'd understood why she was here after I'd ran my eyes around the study. I didn't need to ask her why she was here. It was very obvious. Megan would be the only one who would dare to send her up here to clean my offic
Mina Wolf...Beta Silver walked beside me as we made our way to the dungeons.We'd spent hours in the woods by the two silver poles, just talking. It amazed me how much the beta wanted to share with me.He'd talked about some of his childhood, the mischievous things he did with his twin and the alpha when they were just pups, how they used to reck the kitchen and upset Beatrice.Beta Silver didn't talk about his parents. I assumed it was a touchy subject so I didn't want to ask. But he did talk about Beatrice as if she was their birth mother.I was also surprised by the fact that no one came looking for me. I knew that I should have returned to the kitchen and wait for the omegas to ask for help but with the shock of what had happened in Raphael's study, I didn't want to go back to the main pack house.I didn't know when it happened, but Kalven had, at some point, left the two of us in the woods.When the sun started setting down, I saw Beta Silver's eyes shift to the sid
Raphael Stars...I sat in my study, my chair turned towards the window so I'd be able to look at the night sky.The entire day, I've been itching to go out and return to the woods by the two silver poles to see if Silver was okay. I also wanted to know if she was okay.Stop caring, I warned myself but the irrational part of my brain, along with my heart refused to listen to the rational side of my brain. But still, I managed to keep myself in my study for the rest of the day.But when Beatrice mind linked me that dinner was about to get served, I couldn't stay away any longer.Just one look at her and I'll get over it. I promised myself as I stood up from my chair and walked around the desk before I left my study.Her scent had long left my study since she was here this morning but I could still smell it from the smal sniff I took from her and the one that clouded my sense when I was standing in her cell.The scent is so intoxicating that I want to get
Mina Wolf...I stayed plastered to the wall with my back pressed firmly against it. I watched in horror as the large feral wolf tried to break through the bars to get to me.The wolf collided its large figure against the door of my cell twice more, desperately wanting to come in.I hugged my pillow closer to my chest as I watched the wolf pant, it's red eyes looking at me almost pleadingly.The gaze confused me and it some what managed to compel me. It made me want to reach out and help.My eyes roamed his fur and I could see blood coating some parts of its body, leaving droplets down on the ground.A rushed footsteps ran down the stairs of the dungeon and I heard it run towards my cell. I saw Raphael run around a corner and appear. His breath was laboured as he slowly approached the wolf, keeping a slow pace.The wolf was still facing towards me, scratching at the ground near the door of my cell, whimpering as he did. But his ears suddenly perked up and he snapped his h
I ran my fingers through Beat Silver's fur as I leaned my back against tye bars of my cell.I don't know how long it had been since the beta dropped himself on my lap, but he's fallen asleep with his head still leaned on my right knee.My legs were growing numb from sitting in the same position for way too long but I didn't dare move a muscle.I was too scared that I would wake Beta Silver from his peaceful sleep, one that he needed.The entire time I had Beta Silver sleeping on my right knee, Raphael was seated on the edge of my bed.I glanced up at him and our eyes met. It was my intention to look away, but it was impossible to.His blue eyes drew me in and refused to let go. For the first time since I came here, I looked at Raphael closely.Bright blue eyes that looked like they could be brighter but life had forced them shine out of them, shark nose and jaw line, high cheekbones and dark hair that falls down to his forehead.My eyes dropped to his lips and I quickly looked away.S
