Salem "Go with them," said Arkane, disappointed. "You're not a rogue; you don't belong within this pack."My heart felt like it was split into two by his words."Arkane no." I reached out to touch him, but he motioned himself away from me before I could.I was heartbroken. The one who understands pain and the pack I felt at home was being kicked out. I was not going to allow it to happen. I was not going to make Madison and the Alpha ruin my life with Arkane.Arkane began to walk away from me."I'm not going anywhere." Both hands tightened angrily.My heart beats fast as he slowly turns to face me."You have no choice, Rain," he said. "I'm the alpha of this pack, and those who are not rogues do not belong here."I looked at him tearfully and tried hard to control my tears."I trusted you, Rain, and believed you were one of us, but all along you were lying," Arkane said, upset.Tears came rolling from my eyes, and rain came pouring down. I couldn't fight the tears anymore, seeing Arkan
Alpha Deucalion P.O.V.Madison laid her hand on my shoulder, trying to solace me. She knew it was not easy for me to see the son of a wolf who murdered my parents."I can't stay in this dreadful place anymore." I walked from a small building that was made from straw.Madison and I were sheltering from the heavy rain, but it had finally calmed down, which was good. I felt like I was suffocating in the unpleasant, shabby building.A blond and green-eyed she-wolf exited the building as well. She was left to watch over us."Get your so-called Alpha." I harshly described Arkane to her.The title of alpha was unsuitable for him, just like his father. His father wanted to be the ruler of my pack but was unsuccessful in doing so. And now Arkane has decided to be the ruler of thieves and murderers. No one wanted a part of their pack. I laughed at him for being the ruler of the low-life wolves.I loathed that Arkane and I were related, mostly because of his cruel and heartless father."The alpha
Salem P.O.VUpon discovering I was pregnant, Madison kept on crying.She tried to touch me, but I backed away from her before she could."I'm sorry that I foolishly chased you away," she apologized.I walked over to Arkane, not wanting anything to do with her."Rain!" Madison called.I looked at her."You can't keep that pup; we have to get rid of it before it's too late," she told me in tears.I was angry at her. I knew she would have wanted me to, but I discovered my pup would have the same abilities as me. I could never do such a thing.One hand ran over my grown belly, knowing I'd never be a lone member of The River Pack once my pup was born, and I was not going to allow Madison or Jane to prevent that."You should leave," I told her.Madison tried to approach me, but Arkane stood in front of me, blocking me away from her.She looked at me from his right side."Rain, please come home with me," she begged.My head turned away from her.She cried, and my head rose as I heard her leav
SalemArkane looked at me with the saddest look I've ever seen at what Alpha Deucalion had said. It pains me to see him look at me in such a way."It's a lie," I told him. "He's lying," I kept saying, not wanting him to believe his lies.Alpha Deucalion was lying, for sure. Alpha Deucalion was definitely untrustworthy."Why do you keep lying to me, Rain?" Alpha Arkane said, upset, as he backed away from me.Within his dark eyes, I could see more pain, adding to all the pain he had undergone.I reached out to him, determined to make him believe that Alpha Deucalion wasn't my mate; he was only tricking him into taking me back to his pack."You're a liar!" I yelled angrily at Alpha Deucalion."Why do you keep making my life so miserable?" I said with tears in my voice.I couldn't cry now. I cried so much that I now hate the rain. I hated being wet and cold. It made me feel as though my life has been miserable since the day I left the forest.Alpha Deucalion said nothing; instead, he lower
I jumped up from an uncomfortable feeling and I discovered I was in a strange room. I wasn't alone, two female was there, along with Madison. I carefully observed her and I noticed she had a strange object in her hands. At that moment an awful feeling swept over me knowing what was going to happen."No," I cried out as I began to escape from the room."Hold her down now," Madison ordered.I screamed and begged them to let me go, but they didn't.The two she-wolves tied down my hands and feet."Madison, please don't do this," I kept begging her hoping she listens to me."I'm doing the right thing," she cried to me."Please, please, please," I pleaded with tears in my eyes as I looked her deeply in the eyes hoping for her to listen to me."Someone, give her some drugs to make her unconscious. I can't do this when she's awake," she cried out.One of the she-wolves ran for the drugs. Soon she had returned with it. As she approached me I kept on begging Madison not to take away the pup fro
Alpha Deucalion P.O.VMy fingers traced the marks on both hands. They weren't healing. I had managed to stop it from bleeding but the wounds weren't closing as they would during the healing process.They stung as I touched them. These were bites I obtained from my fated mate, Rain."They still aren't healing?" I heard Madison.I immediately pulled down the long sleeves of my shirt hiding them.Madison approached me and sat before my desk."It, has been hours, and still your wounds, look fresh," she said concerned."If they don't heal quickly, they could get infected."I know," I retorted too worried about them.I know why my wounds were taking such a long time to heal. I had hurt my fated mate badly. I had caused her so much misery when she did nothing wrong to me. I blamed myself for being unable to control my anger."Let me see it," said Madison.I placed my hand on my lap not wanting her to."How's she doing?" I asked ignoring her request.Madison takes a deep breath in and exhales
Rain's P.O.VAfter I've seen the power I possessed. The night I shifted into my wolf form and return deep into the depth of the forest training to rightfully use my lightning powers. I discovered I could create lightning without any rain. I could make it spin around me, like some defense walls to protect me from anyone approaching me. My lightning could not only turn a wolf into ashes, but it could also make fire, make things vanish to where I want them to be, and slice a tree into pieces. I could not only do it in my human form but also in my wolf form.I smiled seeing that all along I had such powers that I didn't know of. I could protect myself and all along I was relying on someone to protect me when I could do so on my own. I no longer need Alpha Arkane or anyone else protection. I could do so on my own. Tonight I discover it all from my anger by all the pain they put me through."Tomorrow, they shall pay."I was so consumed with anger, sleep never came close to me. I sat under a
Alpha Deucalion P.O.VI watched unable to move and as if I was about to take my last breath as my men rushed me to the health center."Everything is going to be okay," Madison kept saying as she held my hand.Her hand was painted in my blood and she cried like a pup.I didn't believe what she had said. I knew I wasn't. My wounds weren't healing and still, I had the bite marks on my hand that were still fresh.I was placed on a bed. Madison and the other doctors of my pack swarm me trying to stop the bleeding. I watched them in tears and in pain as they kept trying to find every solution they can to stop the blood oozing from my body."Why can't he stop bleeding!" Madison yelled frustrated.Within her eyes I could see how scared she was to lose me, yet another loved one."It's okay," I spoke softly to her. "I love you, please tell Cali as well," I told her."Stop it you're not going to die Deucalion. I won't let you," she held my face in tears while the doctors kept attending to my wou
SalemThe night we didn't sleep, after we made love, we just lay there gazing into each other eyes. I didn't want to stop gazing into his eyes, for I was so happy, the happiest I'd ever been, nor too did he. I thought I was once happy and safe dwelling with Madison but I wasn't, I was wrong, for what I was feeling now was true happiness. Living with Madison I sometimes had doubts about staying with her but with Alpha Deucalion, I had none. I was just filled with pure excitement knowing every day will be a joy for us.I cannot believe the one I thought was unsafe and dangerous to be around was the safest person to be around now, my alpha mate, Alpha Deucalion. One of my hands reached out to him, gently running it across his face. Alpha Deucalion held my hand within his and bring it to his lips. I watched him as he passionately kissed the palm of my hands."I love you," I told him.His eyes slowly raised from my hands and he pulled me closer to him, allowing our lips to almost touch."I
SalemI was so nervous that tomorrow evening I will be standing before Alpha Deucalion's entire pack. Alpha Deucalion saw I was and ensured me that there was nothing to worry about and that he will be next to me. The last words I find great comfort in knowing he'll be by my side. Once I had him next to me, I had nothing to worry about. Alpha Deucalion felt like my strength and my confidence, everything I feel I'm lacking he made me feel like I wasn't. I was glad I was going to be okay with him.I sat down in my room while Alpha Deucalion went out for a while."Miss Salem, Jane is here to meet you," I heard the maid.I was so surprised by her words that I stood up right away. Soon I saw Jane entering my room. I couldn't believe it was her.The maid went away."Jane," I said. I thought she wanted nothing to do with me.Jane ran to me in tears and wrapped her arms around me, we cried."I felt so bad that I left you alone," she said."It's okay, I'm fine," I told her. "Alpha Deucalion is
Salem"That's us, our future," I spoke to him.He steadily took his time inside the room and then paused before the portal."It will be us if you give us a chance," I again spoke to him.Alpha Deucalion looked at me and I smiled. I was later surprised at what he did, he stretched out one of his hands towards me to hold, and I gently held it. As I did he pulled me up close to him. I hold his hand tightly not wanting to let him go. He then wrapped one of his hands around me."See we can be happy together, no matter how the past between us as been."His head turned from the portal and he looked me in the eyes as if he could see my soul."Our pups will make us happy," I told him."No, you will make me the happiest wolf and oneday a proud father," he touched my chin.My body shivered at his touch.My heart pounded heavily in my chest as I saw his head lowered for a kiss. My lips quiver by the hot breath from his nostril and my eyes closed preparing for his kiss.When his warm and soft lips
SalemI ran into the room he had given me. I didn't care to lock the door. I went to the end of the bed lowering myself to the carpet, in tears.I can never be your mate, the painful words of Alpha Deucalion kept repeating in my head.My head lowered to the palms of my hand. When I thought there could be us, Alpha Deucalion didn't want it to be. He was still grieving over what he had allowed to happen to me. But I had forgiven him, why can't he forget it, I thought.The morning had ended and it was the afternoon. I stood at my window looking into the forest eagerly for him to return. I needed to talk to him."Ms. Salem," I heard the maid at the door.I immediately wiped away my tears and turned to her. In her hand, she had a tray of food."I brought you your lunch," she told me."Please put it on the bed side table," I informed her bringing myself back to the window.I wasn't hungry. I had lost my appetite. I didn't want to disappoint her after she had taken many hours to prepare it f
Salem "Let her go!" I heard a loud shout. I opened my eyes and I saw the Luna and the others being blown outside by a powerful wind. My head turned around feeling a hand against my right shoulder. It was Alpha Deucalion. "You're safe, I won't let them hurt you anymore," he told me. I was surprised that I wasn't blown away like them but it was Alpha Deucalion who had been holding me all along. I was weak from what they stripped me from my powers. Alpha Deucalion took me up into his arms and took me upstairs. He laid me down on the bed. "Get some rest, don't worry about anything," he told me. I nodded. I watched him as he took off his shirt and went from the room closing the door behind me. I leaped from the bed and went to look through the window, curiously to see what was about to happen. The evil Luna and the others had gotten up ready to fight. Alpha Deucalion walked towards them and I saw them all backing away. They were scared of him. "We want her, stay out of this,"
SalemThough my powers had returned, my body still felt weak. I was hungry. I barely had enough strength to shift into my wolf form. My feet quivered and I kept falling as I ran through the forest. I couldn't run anymore, I had reached my body's limit. My eyes closed as I was about to fall onto my face."I've caught you," I heard Alpha Deuaclion.My eyes opened and I discovered I was in his arms."Your days of running Salem is over," he told me, holding me like a pup in his arms."No one wants me around," I cried to him.Madison didn't want me to and Jane showed it as well.Soon the rain came pouring down.Alpha Deucalion looked me in my eyes as if he was staring deeply into my soul."I want you around," his lips slowly moved.My body raised to his, wrapping my arms around his neck.The rain kept falling and we were both drenched."Let's go home," he said.I nodded still holding him as he carried me to his houseAs we arrived at his home, he instructed his maid to get me dry and some
Alpha DeucalionI monitored her unconscious body, worried. Madison had informed me she had lost a lot of blood, from the horrible scar she had obtained on her face. Salem could never wake up if her powers don't return.How badly I wanted to punish them for hurting her, but I didn't want her to wake up and not see me. I promised her I would never leave her side and I will keep that promise.I held her small hand within mine, pleading to the moon goddess to not let her die. I carried her hand to my face resting it on my lips, it felt so warm and soft. How I wished I had powers like hers to heal her. I felt down not being able to help her like she did with me. It was her kiss that brought me back to life and now all I can do is hold her hand hoping for her to get better soon. It was not enough.The door opened, it was Madison."She almost make you die and you're holding your hand like it never happened," said Madison upset.I said nothing."I know Deucalion that you feel sorry for what y
Salem P.O.VI would be no match for them without my powers. Alpha Deucalion giving up his life for me would be all in vain. I cannot afford it to be so, I will never allow it, tears flooded my eyes as I remembered his lifeless body on the ground.The rain didn't come pouring down like it did, for I had no powers.I slowly stepped backward in fear as I saw their claws emerge from their finger ready to tear me apart.They were nowhere to run for they have encircled me."Don't do this please," I begged.I cried out as Alaric slashed me across the face with his sharp claw.I dropped to my knees shifting into my human form instantly by the sharp pain. I was now naked, and I held the right side of my face in pain while it kept bleeding.My hand shakes as my finger traced the deep wound. They had destroyed my face. It won't heal since I'm powerless and losing too much blood I could die."Please don't do this," my voice shivered as I begged."You have no right to plead after what you have all
Salem P.O.VMy entire body shivered cold, and so did my teeth in my mouth. I was freezing and wet. There was no decent shelter within the forest. I tried many times to stop my tears, to put an end to the rain, but more came streaming down. It was so hard to.Alpha Deucalion's dead body and the image of his face kept appearing in my head. I now blamed myself for his death. I was no better than him when he was once hostile to me."Why couldn't you accept he had changed!" I screamed at myself.I was miserable and tormented. If only I'd forgiven him and accepted that he was sincerely sorry for what he made happened to me, he would be alive.I screamed in anger that my throat and the bottom of my belly begins to hurt. My throat burned finding it difficult to swallow."Take me back to them," I kept sobbing as I tried to create a portal to carry me back to my future self.The portal wasn't opening."I need to see him one more time," I wept.I didn't want to be alone. I needed someone to comf
