When Davina found her father he was already gone, the amount of blood he had lost ended his life before Ragnar could get him to the hospital.Her heart was broken, her father was her only constant feel of love she had, he was her hero, her best friendz her favorite person to have movie nights with.Even her wolf was howling deeply within her head, the broken sounds echoing through every inch of her mind.She fell to her knees as she sobbed uncontrollably when Ragnar and Leif wrapped themselves around her.They didn't speak to her, not knowing what to say or knowing if she even wanted them to say anything to her so they just held her while she let them.After what felt as an eternity for her the door swung open as a gasp left the lips of her mother.Davina's head snapped up to meet the woman's ferocious eyes staring at her, there weren't tears building at the sight of her husband, no emotions saying she was upset at the situation, just anger, resentment, loathing seeping from her.Slow
Leif got Davina to head back to the house, she reluctantly held his hand as he led the way. She kept looking back, tears rolling down her face, as she wanted to run back to her father, hold him, heal him like last time, anything to bring her daddy back to her.However, she forced herself to keep taking step after step as Leif pulled her along.Eventually he stopped, when he did she bumped into him, his arms wrapping around her as he pulled her into himself to comfort her.She looked up at him, his eyes filled with so much sorrow for his little one, he knelt his head down to kiss her forehead before looking at her again."I'm so sorry my little one, I wish I could take all this pain away from you."His eyes flickering between him and his wolf as she stared into them without blinking. They stayed that way for a minute or so until she finally slowly closed her eyes, a tear rolling down and she took a deep breath, Leifs hand cupping her face as she leaned into his touch, his thumb gently
"I need to bury my father...." she looked away, pulling her hand away from him as she brought her overly tired body down to the side of the tub, soaking herself to her neck."I've already had everything taken care of Davi, it's being handled but you may choose everything you want to have for him, then I will do it, you aren't alone in this."He lowered himself to her, aiming his body in front of hers when she opened her arms to him.He pulled her body into his, hugging her tightly before turning her around sitting her on his lap.With Davina on his lap he soaks a loofah in the water before bringing it up tobher back then squeezing it out to wet her.She moans at the feel of the hot water running down her back before he starts lathering her up with soap, cleaning her body as she sits there.Slowly cleaning her she stands up the turns to face him as he starts lathering up the front of her, making sure to touch every part of her, her eyes closed at the feel of him touching her as it sends
Sitting down to eat, they all sat silently for a while, only the sounds of their silverware hitting the plates or a glass being put back down after taking a sip of their drink.The silence was deafening, not comfortable at all, Leif contemplating what to say, Ragnar wishing one of them would speak first.Davina on the other hand, she didn't notice the silence, she was so lost inside her own head thinking about everything that has been happening in her life as of late.'How? Who attacked him in this way? He never shifted, I could tell, the tears in his clothes weren't from a shift they were claw marks from someone else.The only scent he held besides his own was hers, that fucking woman I knew as mother, along with one other scent. I know that scent but I just can't place it. Why do I know it?All of this on top of them, like dealing with them wasn't enough?Shifting with Ragnar was amazing but at what cost? So distracted by them that I wasn't home with my father.I could have saved hi
With a deep breath Davina opened her eyes, they widened instantly as she took in the scene before her.The house was trashed, there was glass from picture frames all over the floor, blood strewn on the walls, even an outline of a handprint smeared down the wall.All the furniture was destroyed, between what was broken to what had been ripped through by claws, the house was almost unrecognizable to her.Her heart beating fast as she tried taking deep breathes to calm herself down so she could focus.Thinking of Ragnar's words, 'I need you to try to look at what you are about to see objectively, don't think of what happened but think of what needs to be done'.She managed to calm down enough to take in her surroundings without thinking it was her father that had been through what happened here.Walking around, trying not to disturb much as I make her way through the living room, following the trail of destruction to the kitchen.***Davina's POV My breath caught in my throat when I saw
Davina's POV continuedWalking to the door, it was barely hanging on the hinge, the room was torn through as if looking for something.What caught my attention the most was the small box on its side next to my father's desk.It looked untouched even though it was knocked over but the lock was no longer on it.This box didn't belong in this room, I've seen it before but only ever in my father's closet, locked up tight.I was always curious about it, I used to try to get him to show me what was inside but he would always take it from me then hide it again telling me,"You will be able to see when you come of age my little princess, I promise, but not before then"Then he would pat my head before pulling me in for a hug.I walked over to it before picking it up then turning to face Ragnar, he looked up at me before looking at the box I was holding."What is it?""I don't know, but I've never seen it unlocked and it isn't mine, it was my dads."Looking down I slowly opened it to find it e
Once they made it back to the pack house they got Davina back into the house.When they got inside Leif brought her into the kitchen for them to get some dinner for us all before we headed back upstairs.Ragnar, on the other hand, went to see his father.When he got to his dad's office he knocked on the door."Come in son" his father said through the door.Opening the door he stepped inside to find his father reading something while deep in thought. Taking a seat in front of his desk he waited.After a few moments his father looked up at him."What happened? Did she find anything she deems useful?Is she okay?I can't imagine how she is feeling about everything.Her entire life changed so drastically, so fast.""She's strong dad, stronger than I ever realized she could be.We found this."I handed him the photo of her Uncle with her father.My dad's eyes widened as he looked at it."A family photo? This was my guard, one of the best we ever had. He was older than Davina's father by ab
Weeks after losing her father, Davina has been with Luna Torvi almost every day, learning what it will be to become the Luna of this pack.When she isn't with the Luna she is spending time with her mates, she was blown away at her birthday when she woke up to feel the tingles rush over her body at their small touches as they slept on either side of her.Looking back at that morning.Subtly waking up at the way the sparks started rushing through her.She moved her body slowly, slightly running a leg on Leif, it sent the most incredible tingles up through her to her core while she gently ran her hand up Ragnar's chest until she reached his face, the magnitude of tingles that ran through her hand, up her arm, down through her while her core clenched as she felt herself become wet.Taking her face she buries herself into Ragnar's neck, inhaling him as deeply as she possibly could when she felt him begin to stir.His hand trailing up her side slowly leaving a trail of sparks in his wake un
After that moment the entirety of the pack changed. No longer were they searching for a witch, Lilith being unable to practice magic within the dome at all. She was basically on pack arrest so that she could stay with her brother but be somewhat trusted.When the dome went through the sky, falling down over the whole of the territory, magic couldn't penetrate through the area from outside their border either.The coven that Lilith had been working with stood no chance when they attempted to come there wanting to get to Davina.Questions still surrounded the area as to what caused such a protection over their pack that night. The way the light fell over them, some even watched as it grew, falling down all around them before disappearing.Death had filled the pack, their Luna, lost, family members that had been spelled, lost. The moral of the pack was down as they attended funerals to mourn their lost loved one.Davina felt the guilt rush through her knowing it had all been just to get
She was left in the house with the Alpha and Luna, she decided to go upstairs to the suite she shared with her mates in hopes that their scent surrounding her would help soothe the worry that has settled within her as they set off to find the witch with her Uncles.Ragnar was worried for her, scared she may do something impulsive out of fear if she felt something waiting to any of them. He asked his mother to keep her company so she went to their suite to sit with her.Leif on the other hand, was determined to end this person that was causing so many issues. His worry was that, even if they manage to stop her, what's saying another enough come around eventually to do the same thing in order to get to her. After all she is part of a need so others already know of their little one.How can they keep her safe when they don't know the ones behind wanting to take her?As the guys all venture out to find her, they make their way along the border of the pack, warriors were sleeping at their s
Davina's POVHe had a valid question but I could feel the anger radiating off my mates, their emotions flooding through me as I stood there with my eyes on Samuli as he spoke to us.He didn't seem to be to worried about the aspect of losing his Alpha status, not more than his thought of Gerald not being a Beta any longer, or the fact that his pack would lose their statuses that they had probably earned within their pack.Do we really want to take in rogues? Other wolves that had been casted out from their packs for some reason or another? What if they were forced out because of killing someone else, or doing something truly traitorous, I don't want that in our pack, corrupting our home."Would you give up being an Alpha to come back home here?"Everyone got quiet as I felt their eyes all on me while I looked expectantly at Samuli."If I could come home, then yes, but..""But!? You have the audacity to have demands from us after everything that has happened due to your actions!""Ragnar
Samuli's POVAs I watched Davina come out from behind the changing screen, her wolf walking towards me before leaning her body against mine as I ran my fingers through her fur when I felt myself getting stronger as my wolf spoke out to me.'She needs to know the true you Samuli, she needs to see who you truly are without you blocking her out. Every time you block her from you, you use up our energy making me weaker as she tries to give me the strength to shift.''What if she sees us, then she chooses to not help us?''Then we aren't worth saving. But, I truly believe she could forgive us, she will see the real you and be able to move passed it to see where your heart truly lies.'I sighed deeply as I felt him becoming stronger when I looked over to Davina as her wolf was looking deep into my eyes, I couldn't see what she saw but then I felt her in my head as my wolf let her in to speak with us.'Stop hiding who you are from me, please. Let's try to shift shall we?'I felt my wolf push
Davina's POV The next day flew by, before I knew it, it was time to go down to the cellars with Samuli. My mates were still hesitant, even after hearing from their pack, those seeds of doubt still there worried that there could be an off chance they all lied, I mean can you truly trust a bunch of rogues?"I hate that you won't let us come with you."Leif said with his arms wrapped tightly around me as he inhaled my scent while running his nose across my mark making me shiver under his touch."You have to stop, you really want me going down there aroused?"He pulled back instantly at my comment making me chuckle when I saw his wide eyes as he stared at me in disbelief."I understood the first or even the second time but why can't we go down there now?""Ragnar you know exactly why, I can feel you two so profoundly it makes it hard for me to feel others, if you are down there I won't be able to focus solely on what I am doing. Your father is with me the entire time, we aren't even link
Davina's POV Continued Huffing I pulled away from them before stomping upstairs to our suite before going inside then standing in the middle of our living space waiting for them to come inside.Tapping my foot when they walked inside before closing the door behind them, Leif went to the couch where he sat down, his leg shaking as I could see the nervousness in his eyes before Ragnar walked over to sit in the chair."Okay, now tell me what you have been hiding from me and why."I watched them glance at one another before Ragnar swallowed deeply then opened his mouth to start speaking when Leif cut in."It was my idea but Ragnar ran with it. We looked into the rogue pack, we had to know more about the kind of Alpha or Beta the pack saw them as.""We didn't tell you because we wanted you to come to a decision on your own when it cane to them, we know you can read them better than we can but we also didn't want you blinded by the familial part of your relationship with them knowing they
Davina's POV "Do you ever feel like someone is watching you from outside the windows at night?""No one can get close enough to do such a thing with the guards standing over every inch.""Even though Lilith could get into their heads so they wouldn't eat us to her being close by?""I guess that's a possibility, but why are you asking me this? Did you feel as if someone was watching you?""Not me, but I felt as if someone was watching you while catching a glimpse of me as I came to say goodnight to you."He seemed to stand there thinking about what I said before he looked up at me."I have felt something, not so much like I'm being watched but a familiarity surrounding myself that I can't quite place.""Just be careful, who knows if that can be trusted right? Other than the fact that even though I could sense something it didn't feel like a threat.""I will stay alert my sweet Davina, I promise.""Good, I can't lose you now that I have you in my life.""What about Samuli? Have you tho
Davina's POV I could see the tension surrounding us when we all stood within the Alphas office. I wanted to speak to my Uncles, understand better about the motives behind their actions, as well as try to see if there truly was remorse within Samuli the way he said.Him stating he regretted his actions was one thing, but we needed to feel his words but with so many powerful people in one room, their auras slamming into me as they had trouble containing their emotions made it difficult for me to decifer who was feeling what.When I requested to speak in the cellar it was because my wolf was itching to to shift, wanted to scent him, she could faintly smell the scent of death on him but she was desperate to feel for his wolf that she couldn't seem to get a read on.I could clearly see the confusion he held in his expression at my request but said nothing aloud when I saw his, as well as Geralds eyes glaze over before they both looked to me, Gerald nodding to me in a way to let me know he
Samuli's POV When I received the message to go to my old pack territory I was hesitant.My Beta was already there, from this I know he is there, how he is being treated I am unsure of but I know he is alive, if he wasn't I would have felt the tether snap between us.Getting in contact with my Delta and Gamma I had no choice but to leave them in charge while I ventured, hesitantly, back to the one place I never thought I'd be welcomed to enter ever again, not with permission anyway.I decided to mask my scent for the run there, not to attract anyone to the scent of a rogue, it was such a prominent smell for others. I'm not looking for fights on my way, I'd like to arrive there unscathed if possible.I decided to shift while carrying some basketball shorts along with a shirt in my mouth so I had something to wear when I got there.As I ran through the woods, the wind flowing through my fur I began getting weaker as I went, my wolf struggling to stay shifted as we started to slow.'We c
