Allistar POV
We are sitting in the small hospital they have here and the images of earlier keep swirling around in my head. I should've realized that Raven's wolf was asking for help and it wasn't just a weird dream. We should have reacted faster and checked on her sooner, then maybe she wouldn't be in this position right now. The pack doctor said he isn't sure how long she will be unconcious due to the extent of injuries she sustained. He noticed right off the bat that she had been injured with silver which is why she lost so much blood and wasn't healing. That sick son of a bitch did this to her and the Alpha doesn't seem to care. Dimitri took Maximus to the Alpha to inform him of what happened and what we had walked into, yet all the Alpha did was blame Raven. He said she puts herself in these positions and she should know how to behave properly so these things won't happen. Maximus got a slap on the wrist for the terrible thing
Raven POVAll I can see is darkness. I can't see anything, not even a sillhouette of a person. I take a second to listen, hoping I can atleast hear someone to help figure out where I am, but as I stand here all I can hear is my own breathing. My breathing is becoming erratic at the thought of being dead. I can't die by his hands. What kind of death is that. I didn't even get the chance to fight back. I fall to my knees terrified as the memories start rushing back. Last thing I remember is Penelope's face coming towards me which means she got there before he could follow through with what he had planned. Thank Goddess. Maybe she didn't get there in time to save me from my injuries and that's why I'm here. As I look around I can still only see darkness. I thought once you accepted you were dead then you would go somewhere, but I'm here still stuck in darkness. This doesn't feel right, something is off."Hello? Is there anyone
Allistar POVRaven has been unconcious for a week now. It is getting to the point where the doctor is concerned she won't wake up or if she does wake up, there will be problems with either her body or her ability to connect to her wolf. We have all 3 been taking turns to make sure atleast one of us is here at all times. Maximus has tried to come visit her using the mate thing as a reason why. Thankfully the doctor is aware of what is going on, so he hasn't let him come see her. He is still trying to sneak into her room when the medical staff aren't around, which is what caused all of us to be concerned. We know Maximus has bad intentions towards her. He is either upset she didn't die or he will take advantage of her being unconcious to mark her without her permission. Since his first attempt to get into her room, we made absolute sure to never leave her alone. We won't even run to the bathroom without someone else here.I ha
Allistar POVIt's been 3 days since Raven woke up. We have been waiting patiently for the doctor to clear her so we can set everything in motion. The days waiting made us more and more anxious that our plan may not work the way we planned. Alpha White has been filled in completely on the plan and that today is the day we set everything into action. He has to be prepared for the phone call he will be receiving from Alpha Jones. As long as he sticks to the plan and doesn't waiver then everything will be fine. Dimitri has noticed the anger his father holds towards Alpha Jones has been growing with the days passing. I think it's just being nervous, nevertheless he can't be letting his anger get the best of him. If he lets that anger be known during the phone call then it will seriously mess with our plan and Alpha Jones will know we are lying. The doctor just cleared Raven to leave, so we sent her and Penelope to her house to pack the
Raven POVThe pack doctor has finally cleared me to leave after a few days. All my wounds have healed up with no side effects. He was worried with the amount of silver that had entered my body I wouldn't be able to contact my wolf anymore. Whenever I would try and contact my wolf all I would get is silence for the first couple days. I was worried I would never be able to speak to her again. She's a pain in my ass, but she's my wolf. Life would be incomplete without her. This morning I heard her for the first time. I cannot explain the amount of joy that went through me. As long as I have her by my side everything will be ok.Allistar and DImitri left Penelope and I at my house to pack up some things while they talk to the Alpha about taking me with them. When they first told me what they were going to say to him I was livid. Telling him they will make me a submissive she-wolf just set me off. I have never been submissive and
Allistar POVSeeing Maximus and Heather standing in front of Raven was not a scene I expected. I knew they were together, but I didn't expect Heather to be as cruel as him. I guess I dodged a bullet on this one. A quick glance towards the stairs was enough for me to realize what was going on. Raven was standing on the bottom step slightly disoriented with some blood trickling down the side of her face. Almost like her head had been slammed into something. The dent in the wall next to her was proof enough that I was right. That must have been the thud we heard when we were on the other side of the front door. I can just barely see Penelope behind her, a couple steps away. It almost looks like Raven is blocking the stairs to protect Penelope even though she is weak and injured. I was so focused on evaluating the situation and Raven's injuries that I almost missed Heather step forward. Almost."Heather, what are you doing?" At
Allistar POVRaven has been unconcious since we arrived at the Opal River pack yesterday. So far it has been 24 hours since we arrived and I can't believe we finally made it safely. No need to worry about Maximus or Heather showing up to try and kil her. We don't have to worry about the pack doctor here doing anything to her that might jeopardize her safety. She is finally safe.Penelope hasn't left her side since we arrived, which is expected. Dimitri and I have been in a couple times to check in on her, but otherwise have been fairly busy. We were able to find the girls a 3 bedroom house to share near the main packhouse so we have been getting that ready. It hasn't been lived in yet so getting beds set up in the rooms has been our main priority. Today we are focusing on getting the furniture for the living room and groceries for the kitchen. We want them to feel like this is home. The pack has been informed that we have ne
Raven POVThe second we walked into Alpha White's office, he hugged me. It was a tight hug like I'm a long lost relative. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there until he was done. I have never met this man in my life. I have no idea why he is hugging me right now. I have never met an Alpha that was so open with showing any type of affection. I have my own questions to ask him, like how he knows my father and why he is reacting this way to seeing me. Those questions will have to wait until after he finishes explaining everything to us. He has to know something for him to be so adamant about seeing us right after I wake up. So for now, I will just sit and listen. Questions later."I'm sure you are all wondering why it was so important for you all to be here immediately after Raven woke up." We all give a slight nod, agreeing. No one spoke and I'm sure it's because we all want to know what's going on without interruptio
Allistar POVWe all headed back to Raven and Penelope's place, except for Dimitri. He was away from his mate for far too long and hasn't had the chance to spend any time with her since we got back. The second we got back we had to take Raven to the hospital and then we had to go speak to Alpha White about everything going on about why we had to head back a day early. Once we spoke to him, we had to find a house for Raven and Penelope then get that all set up for when Raven got out of the hospital. He spent the night with his mate, but he didn't get back to her until late so she was already asleep by the time he got there. He left before she woke up so we could finish setting up the house, but before we could finish Raven woke up. So, after leaving his father's office all he wanted to do was see her before the night we are about to have. He will head back an hour before we have to leave to make sure we are all caught up on everythin
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
