Ragnar's POV Continued Leif was sleeping restlessly, but sleeping none the less thankfully.We are both exhausted, taking turns trying to get some test while the other watches over her.It's been three days of us sitting in here, all I want to do is bring her home, to our bed instead of this hospital bed she is finally in.We got her fever down yesterday, she's officially out of the ice baths but not in the bed hooked up to IV's to make sure she is getting the right nutrients along with keeping her hydrated.Every so often she moans or whimpers but her body is fighting to get the poison out of her system, her wolf isn't present at all, I can't even sense her so the doctors think that whatever did this to her suppressed her wolf so that's why it's taking so long for her to heal.I was holding her hand while laying my head down when I heard the door open making me look up to see my mother coming in with new clothes for us again, then an Omega followi
Samuli's POV"YOU DID WHAT!?"My mind was racing, my anger boiling over as I held her by her throat, yet again.This bitch needs to learn her damn place, but she never will, I need to know what she did, how she managed to do it then kill her before she has a chance to cause any other problems.Her hands were clawing at mine while she attempted to speak but was having trouble doing so, so I loosened my grip just enough to let her speak"I had a potion made to force her wolf back, to poison her so she'd be weak enough to take while they were on the road.Tate had no idea what he was doing thanks to Lilith, he saw her, shock hit him, then she placed a spell on him to help us without his knowledge. We were in and out without anyone the wiser.""Than WHY isn't she here, why is she in a fucking coma!?"I watched her visibly flinch at my tone, bringing me some satisfaction knowing I instill fear in her."He managed to fight the spell somehow, then they managed to make it back to their territ
Samuli's POV Continued After we ate I led Lilith down to the dungeons, the smell of blood was intoxicating to me but to my poor little wolf, I watched as she visibly gagged upon entering inside.We walked to the furtherest cell to find Sydney huddled over in a ball, she was bleeding which made me cock my head when I called a guard over to open the cell door.She didn't loft her head, I couldn't seem to make out a heartbeat coming from her when panic rushed through me.As the door swung open I walked inside, almost slipping, which made me look down to see blood pooled all around her.My heart hammered as I approached her lifeless body to pull her head up, her eyes were open, glossed over, no sign of life in her at all."WHO THE HELL WAS IN HERE WITH HER!"My command rolled off of me in a wave making the guards legs buckle before he fell to his knees, unable to speak as he couldn't seem to breath.I looked around to see Lilith standing there, leaning back on the wall, she looked to be
Leif's POVRagnar left the hospital to deal with a rogue wandering onto our territory leaving me in the room with Davina.She still hasn't woken up, it's been a week now with absolutely no change in her.We still can't even feel her wolf making my constant state of worry on overdrive as we can do nothing but wait.She moves around finally, whimpers at times but still won't wake up or react to us trying to speak with her.Sitting on my chair, my uncomfortable, sunk in chair, I held her hand as I have since we brought her in.Guilt still filled me with the thought that I forced her wolf forward, even knowing that it would have happened any time her wolf showed, I still felt guilty taking her sooner from us by my actions.'Leif, the rogue, he claims to have information about what happened to Davina. The moment he mentioned her name, however, Ragnar nearly killed him so we will need you here, to help us keep him calmer.'Luna Torvi had linked me, her voice was calm but I could hear the un
Leif's POV Continued "Good to know your true colors Granger, it will make things easier in the long run."Just as fast as she had woken up, she was falling back down, her head hitting her pillow as sleep took control of her yet again, but this time, her wolf was still there, pushing at her to be free."Alpha."Ragnar looked over at Tate as he stood there, he was shaking when he looked at Ragnar before bowing his head."Why would she call you Granger?""That's what Lilith always called me, my last name, because it wasn't hers. I don't believe that was the Luna, and for that, I believe you need to lock me away so she can't use me for whatever she may have planned.Also, sir, she's a hybrid witch that can mask her scent, you need to get the Luna home, where she can't reach her again."My heart stopped at his words, but I instantly scooped her up, IV's pulling out of her making her body flinch before they healed."Let's go, bring him!"Ragnar, still in shock it seemed when he grabbed Ta
Ragnar's POV Continued "You think you are her family! You are absolutely NOTHING to her, I am, I am her family, he is her family, (I pointed to my father) our other mate, he is her family, Luna is her family. You, you are absolutely nothing to her, a man she never once met in her life, someone she doesn't even know exists!"My blood was boiling but he managed to shock me further when he spoke back to me."I've met her, I was the person her mother came to, I delivered Davina, I watched my sister hold her for the small moment in time before her life left her, I heard her whisper her name as she looked at her.I watched my sister die, I watched her life leave her eyes, eyes filled with so much love as she looked down at her daughter.You have no idea what I've been through, what I did to protect her, what I did to hide her from our father so he couldn't get his hands on her, use her in the hopes she would be a white wolf like her mother was.I hid my sister for months, watched her grow,
Davina's POV When I finished bathing then getting dressed I walked out of our room to the living area, scanning my surroundings as I looked over at our dining table when a I felt dizzy.A flashback hitting me, showing the three of us sitting at the table when I felt hot, my body felt like it was cooking from the inside as my wolf was being shoved away from me.I could hear her, her whimper as it got further away inside my mind, felt like an entire piece of me was being ripped from me but there was nothing I could do to stop it.I screamed out for her, reached for her but she slipped through my fingers, the touch of her fur threading through them as she was pulled roughly from me, leaving me alone, hollow.I shuddered at the feeling when I heard a yell, my eyes snapping over to see Leif running at me but I couldn't understand why until I felt the ground hit me hard.My legs had given out from under me but when Leif came I'm I was already going down, he rushed to my side, worry etched
Davina's POV Continued "So how is it I am able to scent you? I don't remember you but I feel like I do at the same time.""I delivered you, also since you are a dark healer, you use your blood, the same blood that runs through my veins runs through yours.Your mother and I being half siblings, it may take you longer to scent it but are family, your wolf will recognize that.""Is that why I was able to catch Samuli's scent at my house? The claw being ripped from his paw, it would have had some traces of blood embedded into it, no one else even noticed his scent.""He used that witch to mask himself, no one should have been able to tell he was there, but yes, because of the claw, along with a scratch from your former step mother, left traces of his blood that you alone would be able to pick up on.You are quite unique my dear."The chill in the air kept nipping at my skin, along with the weakness I was feeling from being asleep for so long, I haven't even eaten, my energy felt draining
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
