Ragnar's POV "So why did a guard link me about Tonya, along with Patty being put into a cell together?"My father has eyes and ears everywhere, not even getting a chance to tell him whay happened on my own for his men tell him."Of course you already know.""Figured since you hadn't said anything in front of Davina I wouldn't mention it.Isn't Tonya the girl you used to, well, date?""Yes, along with Leif dating Patty.They, however, always gave Davina a very hard time.Even before we came back, they were always cruel to her.""That's no reason to lock then up son."He looked at me with a questioning look, like the statement was actually more of a question."I didn't." I stated matter of fact."I found them sneaking out of the second floor library, our personal library. They were acting suspicious, then when I went to question them they clammed up, standing stiffly before saying they were studying.I could tell Tonya was lying, Patty kept her mouth shut the entire time, I believe tha
The next morning they were sitting down to eat breakfast as Ragnar announced that the guards out front were approached by both girls mothers late last night about their daughter's missing."Father has them coming in within the hour to discuss where the girls could possibly be, basically fishing. We will be in the office with them as well, but Davi, I want you to stay up here, not give them a chance to do anything to you especially if it turns out they know what you are.""Luna Torvi is going to come up and stay with you, she has some books for you two to go through before we can get the others from the other pack."Both men looking at her, concern in their eyes as she can feel their trepidation."I agree, with both of you.I'm happy to stay up here with Luna Torvi going through the parts that matter to me, you two along with the Alpha, can handle all that nonsense."They looked relieved for a moment before she spoke again."However, I do expect you two to tell me what is said, if you
Davina's POV They left me to go to Alpha's office to meet with Tonya and Patty's mothers. I am curious as to why they were in the private library, but I also don't really care. I'm so focused on finding out what I can about myself, trying to understand what I am, who I am, how I can benefit this pack, not destroy it.My worries of bad things happening to this pack all because of someone wanting to get to me, makes me feel queasy. The last thing I could ever want is for anyone to be hurt to protect me, how can I be okay with that?Being a Luna, you are supposed to help protect your pack members, keep them safe, help them with their needs, make sure they feel safe, basically be the mother type for all.Yet here I am, not even Luna yet, putting them all in danger because of what I am, who I come from, I put this entire pack at risk instead.I should run, leave the pack, go rogue to mask my scent from Sydney and my Uncle Samuli.If I left, if they knew I was no longer here, then the pac
Ragnar's POV I was downstairs in the office with my father, my father's Beta, Leif as Tonya and Patty's mothers were sitting in front of us.Their nervousness filled the room, their fear so thick we could basically taste it, even though you can tell they were trying to hide it."Our girls, they are missing, we can't even link them, something is wrong Alpha, we don't know what to do."Their small tears falling, everything felt rehearsed, fake, they would try to say the fear surrounding them was from not knowing where their girls were but we all knew better, we knew their fear was because they felt cornered, caught in whatever lies they are trying to weave.Having my mother here would truly be helpful but I wanted her with Davina instead, needed her to not be alone right now.That was when my whole world crashed down around me, suddenly I felt like I plunged into darkness as my mind felt like I was drowning.I stood there, keeping my composure when the link opened from my mother, I cou
Leif's POVI watch the way Ragnar is with Davinaz it makes me jealous all the time, the way she always goes to straight to him, or how when she need something she asks him first, me last.I feel like the third wheel in this relationship so much of the time but I don't say anything, I know she loves me, I can feel it through the bond.When she looks at me her emotions crash into me, telling me how badly she wants me close, how much she needs my warmth or comfort, her eyes show nothing but love in them when she looks at me.I shouldn't feel jealous when I know how she feels for me but it's hard with Ragnar. Him being Alpha makes things difficult.I'm always the one left behind to deal with things as he rushes off to her when we both feel she needs us yet there isn't anything I can do about that, I'm his Beta, this is my job.Honestly I don't think he's doing it maliciously, he's just thinking as a mate as well as an Alpha, always being the one that has to fix everything.I guess I just w
Samuli's POV"Those dumb little brats got caught and you know it! Now you can't link their mothers either, so they are probably being held as well.You had ONE job! ONE! What good are you?You couldn't even keep her in the house for when we got there, no they already moved her to the pack house, in the Alpha's suite at that!Some mother you turned out to be for her, she didn't even trust you, you were cruel to her instead, out of jealousy for a mate you let die, one you say you didn't even want because you supposedly love me.I have to get to her! I need her dammit!"My rage was all consuming as I stared at the woman I gave up my mate for, the one that didn't choose me over my brother when she felt the bond snap between them.All I could see was red as I looked upon her face, one I used to find to be the most beautiful in the world but right now was turning purple as I held her by the neck against the wall.Her fingers clawing at me trying to get me to release her, she started becomin
Davina's POV Sitting in the Alphas office while they speak about everything going on with the girls, the fact that they are supposedly working with my horrid, so called, mother Sydney.How she managed to get her friends to involve their own daughters was beyond me, is this why they have always hated me, tortured me relentlessly up until the boy were back.They still chose to tease me, pick at me, but it was no longer physical like it had been, of course they had already left enough mental scars for a lifetime with the things they put me through.Basically destroying me in every way besides having me raped, although it did come close but he...:::Flashback:::I was walking along the riverbank on the outskirts of our territory, not far enough to be outside but close enough, I liked the idea of leaving this place, running and never looking back.I couldn't bring myself to do it though, not without it destroying my father, I refused to cause him such pain so I stay here, deal with the en
Davina's POV It's been a whole week of meetings about what the girls were trying to find in the library, or meetings about their mother's. I went, accompanied by my new 'Luna Squad' to our neighboring pack to search the library there about healer wolves.To say the shock I felt walking into their library wasn't well deserved would be a lie. It was the largest library I had ever seen.It was full of everything you could dream of, three stories of mahogany bookshelves filled to the brim with werewolf and lycan alike history.This being the largest, oldest pack around, it made sense that they held more than any other pack.Their knowledge was extensive but, they only had one book on how there were multiple healer wolves from our history.Most were light healers, but light healers gave a piece of their lives with everyone they healed, it drained their life span expeditiously so none lasted long in life once they were discovered.Kings or Alphas would imprison said wolves, using them as
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
