Allistar POV
Raven 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 POVGetting to sit and talk with Allistar made me feel a bit more comfortable with him. Getting to know more about his life and parents turned him from this closed off untouchable guy to a real person and that was a huge step for me being able to fully trust him. It's important to be able to all trust eachother for what is about to happen within the next hour. To say I'm terrified is a complete understatement. There is a real chance I could die tonight during the shift and as much as I am not a fan of my life, I don't prefer to die anytime soon. Alpha White said that I should be fine because I will draw strength from the others, but what if that still isn't enough to keep me alive. Or what if, drawing strength from them causes them to become too weak and they die or get hurt because of it. Maybe I'm just panicking as a result of everything in my life taking such a shitty turn all the time. I mean my father dying, mother treat
Allistar POVI would have to say that shifting tonight was the most painful thing I have been through. It was atleast twice as painful as my first shift. I was pretty confident that I was going to pass out from the amount of pain, but right when I was starting to lose conciousness I was hit with this huge force of power. The amount of power I felt was unexplainable and I am sure the others felt it as well. I mean, that was why we all had to shift together, so we could acquire our full strength. I knew what was going to happen tonight, yet I didn't expect any of this. I looked around after I was able to focus and my Goddess we are all huge. I have never seen wolves this big before. You can actually see every muscle through the thick fur coating our bodies. I may not be able to see my own wolf, nevertheless just looking at the others, There is no way I'm not as big as them. I don't have to look up to see meet them at eye level, which
Raven POVWaking up this morning, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I knew the shift last night would take a lot out of all of us, especially me. Alpha White recommended we only go for a short run, but we ended up being out for over 2 hours. I was exhausted immediately after the shift was completed so going for a long run took a real toll on my body. My wolf said all of us running together would strengthen the new bond we all hold, regardless of how tired I was. She was right on it strengthening our bond. I can't remember the last time I felt at home with anyone other than Penelope. It felt like we all belonged together, a family of chosen warriors. I don't know how it was possible to be so in sync with eachother when we have never run together before. No matter how I feel today, I wouldn't change anything about last night.I roll onto my side and catch a quick glimpse of the clock by the side of the bed. I jolt out of b
Allistar POVWe made it to the Alpha's office in complete silence. I think the mixture of exhaustion and stress about the whole prophecy has just put us all on edge. Last night was painful and tiring and now we get to learn more about the situation we are in. I want to know more about what we have to look forward too, but at the same time I feel like none of us have had enough time to process what we've already learned. I know the Alpha wants us to know everything as soon as possible and prepare for whatever is to come, yet a couple days to rest after the shift would have been nice. I have never in my life felt so crappy before. Not even after my very first shift. He is going to want us to start training right away, don't get me wrong I love training. It's my favorite activity which makes me such a good Head Warrior. I just don't think any of us are up for it physically for atleast the next couple days.Dimitri knocks on the
Allistar POVIt's been two weeks since Alpha White informed us of the prophecy that we are meant to fulfill. It still sounds insane to me. I've always felt like I was never really meant for anything special or important, but apparently I am one of the four most important people our world has. We have discussed the Alpha's plan down to the last final detail and yet I am still unsure of whether or not this is going to work. I can see why he thinks it will and honestly it very well could turn out fine and work competely in our favor. I don't feel necessarily bad in questioning the plan because the others seem pretty skeptical as well so atleast I'm not the only one.In the last two weeks, we have made a lot of progress. We train for 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours later in the afternoon. Another part of our training entails all of us running together in wolf form for atleast 2 hours every night to help them bond faster. My w
Raven POVThe second we arrived at the Dark Moon Pack I knew something was off. No one being at the border to great us was suspicious, but even before we reached the border I had this bad feeling in my gut. After waiting a couple minutes for someone to show up at the border, I decided to hop out of the car to see if I could see or smell anything unusual. It only took a minute for me to be able to smell the horrible stench of rogue and blood. The smell of copper from the blood almost overpowered the smell of rogue and at that moment I knew things weren't going good. Without waiting for the others, I took off in the direction of where the smell was the strongest. I mind-linked the others to let them know what I smelled so they knew to follow. I didn't even glance back to make sure they were following. This pack needs help and that's what we are here for so that's my priority. The others will find me soon to help.It took about
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
