Raven POV
Waking 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
Allistar POVHearing Raven scream out in pain had all three of us frozen in place. She is one of the only people I know that can take an insane amount of pain without making any inclination that she has been hurt. Her screaming out means someone or something has caused her inexpicable injuries. I know for a fact that all of us are thinking the same thing due to the fear on their faces that mirrors mine. We need to get to her and quickly, but we still have no idea where she is. Knowing she can't shift to help protect herself is my biggest worry. She would choose to die rather than expose any of us or herself to people that would choose to take advantage of us."We need to find her. Of course she would run off on her own. Damn it, Raven." Penelope is the first to speak. Her voice is filled with frustration which is completely acceptable. If she had just waited for us."I don't think we should split up. Whatever caused h
Raven POVAll I can see is a field in front of me that's filled with the most beautiful wild flowers. I am engulfed with the smell of spring when the flowers bloom for the first time. The most intoxicating perfume of flowers and fresh green grass. I've never smelled anything more wonderful in my whole life. All I can feel at this point is calm and relaxed. I feel like I'm home back when my father was alive and our house was filled with love. Sometimes I forget how much I truly miss him, but then there's those moments where all I can think about is 'I wish my dad was here'. I miss the love and affection my mother use to show me before she chose to blame my dad's death on me. Everything that has happened has turned me into a cold person that shows no emotion. I don't want to be that person anymore. I want someone to love me and tell me that everything is going to be ok. I want to share the weight I have on my shoulders with someone e
Allistar POVI can feel myself waking up slowly, but I'm still too exhausted to open my eyes. I feel like I've been hit by a truck and then thrown through a meat grinder. My body has never sustained such severe injuries before so I know it's going to take awhile to recover any strength. While I'm here I might as well go over everything I remember to try and piece everything together. I know Raven got to safety, I got the shit beat out of me, and the man that did it is known as Alpha Cassius. I blacked out before anything else happened, but considering the fact that I can feel silver chains wrapped around my wrists means he probably took me and is holding me somewhere. The silver is affecting my healing ability which explains why I still like absolute shit. I can't contact my wolf while the silver is wrapped around my wrists, nevertheless my wolf can still contact the others and hopefully he can help. My injuries might be slowing hi
Raven POVOur goal right now is to find where Allistar is being held. Our first thought is that he is being held at the Blood Wolves pack where Cassius is the Alpha. It would be the safest place for him to hide out since he is surrounded by his entire pack and more than likely a lot of rogues as well. If he is being held there then that puts us at a serious disadvantage. We may be strong, agile, and have been training for this, but that doesn't mean we will come out of it successfully. They could easily just kill him the second they sense us within their pack grounds so the best bet is going in stealthy with the hopes of getting in and out not being detected by a single person or wolf. If we knew where Allistar was being held then we would have more of an advantage for this mission, but the fact that we can only guess he is in the dungeon on pack grounds we have never been to before means we are less likely for this to go smoothly.
Raven POVOn our run around the packlands I couldn't help but notice the state of everyone here. The women were dirty and seemed to be malnurished to almost a severe extent. They were walking around with their heads down and looked to be carrying laundry and food. I haven't noticed a single child even with it being the middle of the day which is usually the perfect time fo rkids to be out playing. It's making me wonder if there are any children here at all and I honestly hope not with the state of the women here. The people of this pack look to be on the verge of death. The smaller males are greasy, unwashed, and covered in bruises.'Penelope, are you seeing this?' I can't help but ask.'Yea, these people look so beat down. I can't imagine what their lives are like here. I've never seen a more depressing pack in my life. It makes me sad for them. We have to help them somehow.' Penelope has always been on the more sens
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
