Allistar POV
After finishing training I decided to just head back to the guest house and just take some time by myself. i know I put on a good front today looking like everything was ok. Like I wasn't being ripped apart from the inside, but you can only pretend for so long before you get tired. I wanted a chance to break down before Dimitri got back. I know I have to tell him when he gets back so for now I decide to shut my door and lock it. I take my workout shorts off and hop in a cold shower to cool down from the exhausting day I had. After probably only a couple minutes my first tear slides down my cheek, at this point I just let it all out. I'm not the only one feeling the lost hope, my wolf has been howling in my head since the rejection yesterday. He is more effected by the rejection than I am because the mate bond is through our wolves so they feel things 10 times worse than their human counterpart. Considering the pain I'm
Raven POVThe second I step out the front door, I freeze. All I can smell is mint and chocolate which I know belongs to my mate, but if I'm beeing honest it's not as appealing as I thought it would be. Isn't your mate's scent supposed to be irresistable? There's only a moment where I question why he doesn't smell as good as I thought he would, but once I look up I understand why. Why he doesn't smell amazing to me, why he's been an asshole, why for some reason it hurt more when he would call me names like whore and slut. I get it now and I'm prepared for what's about to come. A part of me is still sad about it, but I'm sure that's my wolf or maybe it's because of what the future holds. Once my eyes meet his blue ones I hear my wolf yelling 'Mate'. Fuck."Well well well, I was told you turn 18 today so I thought I would come over and wish you a Happy Birthday." He has a sinister smirk on his face. He's known all along and sti
Allistar POVI wake up even more exhausted than the night before. I need to figure out a way to get some sleep or this is just going to get worse and I won't be any help in training the warriors. Waking up after a night plagued with dreams about the black wolf and its piercing green eyes is a nice change from the dreams about Heather. I'm not sure what to make of my new dreams or this wolf. I've never come across a wolf that looks like it so I'm assuming it's not someone I know or atleast not someone from my pack. I wonder who it is and why I'm dreaming about it. Usually an unknown wolf would put me on high alert, however this one almost makes me feel at peace. Like I've known it my whole life.I'll have to think about this later because right now I have training to get ready for. I focus back on reality and quickly throw on some black shorts and head to Dimitri's room to wake him up. He is almost always late waking up, neve
Raven POVPenelope pulled me away from Allistar, probably sensing how uncomfortable I was with the line of questioning. I knew my face would be noticed. I mean come on, my eye is slightly swollen with some purple coming through from the bruise that's forming and my nose is a little messed up. Thankfully it stopped bleeding before we got to training. Being a werewolf means I heal rather quickly, but it's not physically possible to heal within the 5 minutes it took to walk to the training grounds. I'm sure any evidence of what happened this morning will be gone within the next couple hours so I won't have to worry about anyone else questioning me about it. I can't believe this is how my birthday started. Your 18th birthday is suppose to be the happiest day of your life because you are finally able to find your mate. I've always got the short end of the stick when it comes to everything, however I thought my mate would be the one good
Allistar POVI had Penelope and Raven start sparring eachother before the other warriors get back. I want to see what Penelope can do. With Raven's skills I'm sure Penelope has got to be good or atleast have potential if Raven is helping her train. I have nothing against the lower ranks in a pack, but it is so rare for an Omega to train, let alone be good. Most packs train females to become warriors. Ragardless of gender, Omegas just don't train. It's pointless due to them being the weakest wolves of the pack so they take care of cooking and cleaning. They just aren't physically capable of becoming warriors, which is making me question whether Penelope is a born Omega or something happened where she was demoted to Omega. After watching for about 20 minutes and noticing how she is just barely less skilled than Raven, a warriors daughter."Penelope, Raven. Can you guys come here for a minute?" I can't help my curiosity, I have
Raven POVNothing else of interest happened to me for the rest of the day. After the talk with Allistar, we just focused on weapons training which is my favorite. I've mastered a few weapons, but my favorite would have to be my katanas. There's just something about a weapon that holds so much grace while being extremely deadly that brings such unbridled joy to me. Penelope's weapon of choice is an axe and I have to say it was hilarious to watch the shock and confusion on Allistar and Dimitri's faces when she used it with such precision. Honestly she is absolutely flawless with her axe and she always holds a huge smile on her face when she uses it. I mean really think about seeing a small she-wolf running at you carrying an axe with smile on her face. That would be a terrifying site as an enemy, but as her friend I think it's the funniest shit ever.Once we got back to my house Penelope made me eat an insane amount of f
Allistar POVIt's been a week since Raven's birthday and well it's safe to say something is going on with her. Honestly it would be difficult to miss.The day after her birthday she was a little on edge, but that was barely noticeable. When I asked her if something was wrong she told me everything was fine. There was no way I would be able to miss the fear and worry in her eyes. I tried to question Penelope about what was going on and even that was a dead end, which means something is definitely going on. She isn't as capable of keeping things to herself so for her to be able to lie while looking me in the eyes means something serious happened.Raven didn't start to act bizzare until a few days after that. She seemed almost paranoid of everything. There was no focus on her training what so ever, she just kept looking around everytime she heard a mans voice. She doesn't seem the type of person to be paranoid or not foc
Raven POVI don't know how to explain the level of fear going through my body on a constant basis. I can't focus on training and I jump everytime I hear a mans voice. It's getting so bad that my paranoia is rubbing off on Penelope so she has been less than nice to everyone. She knows what happened a few days after my birthday so since then she has pretty much moved into my house with me. We need to get out of this pack and run, but going it as rogues would be difficult especially as she-wolves. She-wolves don't tend to last long as rogues, they are either killed or kidnapped and raped. We may be great warriors, but after time our strength will weaken without a pack to attach ourselves to and at that point we would become bigger targets. Especially since I wouldn't be able to shift around others and she hasn't turned 18 yet so she doesn't have her wolf.I found out who ended up seeing my wolf. Turns out it was the worst perso
Allistar POV It's officially been a week of hell since we called Alpha White about getting Raven and Penelope out of this pack. Dimitri andI officially have a plan and if that plan falls through then we will just run. I can't stand seeing Raven the way she is. I need to get her somewhere safe. Hopefully once she is somewhere safe then she will be more willing to open up to me. I feel like we were meant to cross paths. That it's fate that I was sent here. I resented the Moon Goddess for a while after I was rejected, but now I think it was meant to be. I was sent here to be rejected by my mate and then meet Raven and get her out of here. Even Dimitri feels the same way about the girls, we were sent to save them from what this pack does to strong women. I say it's been a week of hell because Raven was showing up every day to training covered in bruises that she didn't get from training. I know it's Maximus, but I have
Raven POVThe second I open my eyes I realize where I am. I'm standing in the most stunning field I have ever seen. The smell of wildflowers is almost too much. I take a deep breath to relish in the peace I feel here. I know I died, but I can't help the calm I'm feeling right now. The only thing that would make it better is if Allistar and Penelope were here. Like they can hear my thoughts, I hear my name being called. Looking over to my right, I see Allistar, Penelope, and some woman standing by the Goddess. I can't help the smile from spreading across my face. I'm so happy that I almost start crying. I run to them and give them the biggest hug."Did we win?" Is the first thing that comes out of my mouth. I need to know I didn't leave everyone with a war to fight without us."Yes my darling daughter, you won. I am so sorry you three had to lose your lives to win this war. That was never my intention, but I am so prou
Raven POVThey may have arrived sooner than anticipated, but we've spent the last two days planning and training. We are as ready as we will ever be. The plan is for Dimitri, Penelope, Allistar, and I to lead a group that attacks from the front with the wolves from the Dark Moon pack while Alpha White heads off to the left with his pack and Alpha Samuel goes to the right with his. The idea is to attack from all sides to then eventually circle them completely. We have to do that without them noticing our strategy too soon. If they catch on before we can surround them then we are screwed. The scouts informed us that there were about 200 wolves in their army, but looking now it seems they have over 400. 400 outnumbers us 2 to 1 and I have to say those are not good odds for us to win. I look around to gauge everyones reaction to this new discovering. I'm not surprised to see worry on everyones face, but their determination is stronger
Allistar POVHearing everything that Raven went though makes me feel sick. I can't believe he did all that to her just to make her agree to mate with her. That's still more believable than Cassius helping her excape. He fought our father to help her escape instead of just trying to take her for himself like he's been wanting. It doesn't make him a good person, but it makes me wonder why he went out of his way to help both Raven and I. What is his end game in allowing us to live. Multiple growls going off around in the car pulls me from my thoughts. Focusing back on the conversation I realize everyone in the car is growling, including me. I think we are all pissed at what he did to her for no reason other than to break her so he could use her as a breeding mare. The nerve of that man. I hope Cassius killed him."Also, Allistar and I are eachothers second chance mates and we completed the mating. Which is also why he missed hi
Raven POVAm I actually about to have sex with Allistar right now? I have to say that I am really glad I rinsed off in the waterfall before passing out in here. I can't imagine what he would have done if he had seen me covered in my own blood. Having him stare at my naked body is making me remember how many scars I have. I blush and reach up to cover myself with my arms. He stops me with a possessive growl. "Don't hide yourself from me. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I want to take my time to fully enjoy the view." Well damn.He gently glides his fingers from my throat and around my breasts. Taking his time to rub his thumbs over my nipples causing a jolt to go through my body from the pleasure that shot between my thighs. Continuing his hand further down pass my stomach, he hesitates just above that precious bundle of nerves I desperately want him to touch. I start squirming when he doesn't move his h
Allistar POVWe have been searching for Raven for three days now and I'm starting to really worry. About half a day after Dimitri and I headed out to search for her, the connection between Raven and us was restored. We followed the connection for the rest of the day until it all of a sudden cut off again. For about .5 seconds I was terrified that she might have died, but Jack reminded me that we can still feel her. It may have been too weak for us to use it to track her, yet it sat in the back of my soul reminding me we still had time to get to her before the worst could happen. Once the connection cut off, Dimitri and I split up to cover more ground until the connection came back on. Because the connection will come back on and we will find her. There is no other option. We will find her alive and bring her home.Penelope got in touch with us about a day into our searching to let us know she is healing slower than normal. I
Raven POV'Raven, waake up! Someone is coming!' I hear Iris yell at me. It takes me way too long to wake up enough to open my eyes. I'm not in as much pain, but I still feel like death is just waiting with her arms open to claim me. Fuck.Once my eyes are fully open I see someone I was not fully prepared to see. "What the fuck are you doing here?" My voice sounds like absolute shit after the screaming and having nothing to drink since before I got here, but I'm still able to put a bit of a bite to my words."What am I doing here? The question is what are you doing here strapped to a table?" He seems genuinely upset about his discovery. I guess it's not too weird since his dad is going behind his back to try and take me from his son."Your dad kidnapped me to try to force me to mate with him. He's been torturing me for hours to get me to give in. You didn't know?" I don't try to hide the confusion I'm feeling ri
Raven POVI wake up groaning. Fuck, it feels like I've been hit by a gods damn truck. I don't even remember going to bed last night. Must have been a rough training session with the women if I feel like this. I go to roll over to get up when I realize I can't move and what I thought was a bed is actually a cold metal table. What the fuck is going on? I take a second to try and remember how I ended up here, but the only memory that comes to me is training the women and then I blacked out. I hope to all that is holy that the guys decided to pull some fucked up prank on me because if they didn't then I'm for sure in danger. It takes a second for my eyes to adjust to being opened, but once they do I realize I'm in some sort of underground area. I'm surrounded by walls made of brick and covered in moss or something similar. It doesn't matter right now what kind of plant it is so I don't know why that was a focus of mine. Ok moving on, I
Allistar POVI get woken up by someone lightly shaking me. Opening my eyes, I notice that it's Jason shaking me so I give him a quick nod to let him know I'm fully awake. I go to sit up, but a weight on my chest stops me and that's when I remember. Looking down I see Raven still peacefully sleeping. She is practically wrapped around my body at this point and I can't help but to admire the peaceful look on her face. She is always so focused on whatever task we are busy with. Even going without sleep to make sure everything goes smoothly so it's nice to see her just be. Without much thought, I softly tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear to get it out of her face. The action ends up waking her up and I can't help being disappointed. I know she needed to wake up but I wanted her to be peaceful for just a bit longer. Once those beautiful green eyes lock on to mine, my hearts does a little skip. She is just so magnificent. I could loo
Raven POVAfter the shower incident last night, my brain has been a complete mess. Atleast it seems he is just as affected by me as I am by him. The tenting in his shorts was impressive to say the least. I wonder how long he was standing there watching me before I noticed him. Maybe after all this prophecy business is behind us I can look into exploring these feelings with him. Or not. There's no way the Goddess doesn't bless him with another mate. A better mate. He deserves someone to love him for the rest of his life. I wish I could hope for a happily ever after for all of us, but I know that is unrealistic."Does that sound good to everyone?" Dimitri's voice pulls me out of my thoughts. Shit, I wasn't listening. Everyone replies with sounds of agreement so I mimick them. I'll ask Penelope later when we are alone so I know what we are doing with this new developement we have to deal with. Guardians, ridiculous.Now
