Chapter 11.

As I walked home from art class, I doddled a bit, taking my time, strolling along the path in the sunshine as I looked out at our land border. It had been three days since my fathers last warnings about the rogues, but already what he had said was now even more apparent. The guards were even more alert as they paced up and down along their section and other pack members had volunteered themselves to help keep watch. We only had two days left until alpha Caleb announced the curfew and has most of our land cut off.Leo had told me that the alpha was beginning to unload even more work onto him, especially when it came to the protocols if attacked. Alpha Caleb was trying to prepare Leo to take over just in case he didn’t survive it. I could see the pressure taking its toll on Leo, but he still always tried to be optimistic, almost hoping his father was too invincible to be taken down by a pack of rogues. Last night I had even snuck into the palace, keeping out of Addison’s sight and quizz

Chapter 12.

It’s been two weeks since I last spoke to Leo and even in the short space of time we had become friends again, I really noticed his absence. I carried on with my usual things but after Alpha Caleb’s announcement four days ago, everyone was restricted with things to do. I’d always go to the lake on the days I didn’t have college or things to do around the house. Instead, I had managed to get Uncle Filton out of the house more, dragging him along with me as we walked around the permitted paths. We went to the library to pick out new books to read and ones he’d asked for me to read him to sleep with. But every time we left the house, I’d see Leo in the training grounds, and I’d do my best to avoid walking past feigning excuses to Uncle Filton that I preferred the path that lead in the opposite direction. I had finished my Raven bird drawing and with the time I had, I decided to paint a portrait of Anya, looking at her features from all the photos we had left of her. I wanted to do it as

Chapter 13.

I had left early this morning to head to the library and as I passed the training grounds, I noticed Leo has saw me and watched me walk along with a hopeful look in his eyes and he had flashed me a small smile that I reciprocated.I had stayed at the library for two hours just scanning through books, wanting to time when I left, just right…I didn’t want to just call him at the palace, the little the Luna and Violet know about us still spending time together, the better. I needed to catch him just before he headed home. I looked out of the thin, glass pane window and saw as everyone started to leave the field. I walked up, looking at him, hoping he’d turn around and notice me, but he was too distracted, giving everyone a ‘well done’ pat on the back. He was just leaving the gates with them, so I stepped up my pace, not wanting to miss the opportunity to speak with him properly.“Leo!”. I called out in a hushed voice. “Leo…?” And by the second time he’d heard me and turned around. Witho

Chapter 14.

Me and Leo had barely spoken the last four days and even father had been getting home later than usual. I’d hear the porch door quietly squeak shut every night when I was already in bed, he was always gone before breakfast and wouldn’t return until late in the night. Since the rogue incident the guards have been patrolling our border with extra vigil and I’d seen the alpha and Leo constantly down there too along with father.I tried to ask father about it and so did mother, but he remained tight lipped about it all, either that or he didn’t actually know enough to tell us anything, he’d always say “It’s just for precaution”. I could hear it in Leo’s voice, the one time he was able to call me… a conversation that only lasted minutes when he quickly ended the call, telling me the alpha insisted they do even more training.But as I waited outside of my house for him to arrive, the one afternoon he was able to spare and he was adamant that instead of getting some well earned rest, he want

Chapter 15

I woke up the next morning and the moment my eyes opened, a smile graced my face as I remembered last night. I tried to imagine the feel of it all again and I couldn’t wait until we had the chance to do it again. If I couldn’t experience the real thing, then this would have to suffice, and it was more than I ever expected to feel.As I led there dreamily, with the flashing images of Leo kissing my hand and how silly I felt, reading so much into one peck, like I was caught up in some sort of girlish and childish crush. A sudden crash from downstairs jerked me out of my daydream and I bolted upright in bed. Oh shit! I thought to myself. Not again!. I quickly ran downstairs to see my uncle pressing my father up against the wall, shouting in his face as my mother pleaded with him to stop.“JUST TELL ME WHERE THE FUCKING ROGUES ARE! I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME AS PRISONERS!” He belted in father’s face.“Filton, just calm down, ok? We can talk about this”. Father replied, trying to st

Chapter 16.

For the last week I’d been training with Leo any chance I got. Whether it was an hour or more we’d rush to the woods, and we wouldn’t stop until I could barely lift my arms up. Every part of me was sore and ached but I finally felt as though I was able to make use of the strengths I knew I always had.Leo was a terrific coach and training partner, but I despised him the moment he took off his shirt three days ago when our sparring made him all sweaty. I could have sworn he was just doing it to distract me, and at times it was working and when I was alone and could daydream about it, I would! I’d picture just how refined and protruding each muscle was and the way they clenched and moved in sync. He’d also been keeping up with his constant hand kissing each time he walked me home, which was not only messing with these damn butterflies that like to keep flittering around in my stomach, but it was confusing. I did want him… Oh I wanted him a lot! Each time he kissed my hand now, I’d rathe

Chapter 17.

My ass was almost numb from sitting so still in the chair for so long and I wouldn’t be surprised if mum had no nail left after biting it so nervously.We purposely kept quiet, so we didn’t wake uncle and we anxiously waited for Caleb’s howl or the alarm and for three hours, neither had come. The longer it went on the more worried we became and although neither of us spoke it, I knew we were both thinking the same thing… we were both expecting to hear the alarm. Occasionally we would hear yelps and loud growls and I just hoped over and over those yelps didn’t come from father or Leo.“Mum…. Listen!”. I whispered with alert as I suddenly sat up straight, straining my ears to hear.“What? What was it?” She whispered back nervously.“A howl, I’m sure I heard it!”. “I didn’t hear anything, Raven, are you sure?” “I know I heard it!”. I told her as I stood from my chair and quickly dashed over to the door.“Wait!” Mother stopped me, slamming her hand on the door so I couldn’t open it.“I’

Chapter 18.

Three days I had been waiting around, only able to rely on updates from father. He had told me every night he came home from the palace that both the alpha and Luna had been spending most of their time at the hospital watching over Leo. He also insisted that right now it as pointless me even visiting seeing as he still hadn’t woken up yet since he was attacked. His injuries were quite severe and deep, and he had been clawed right across his abdomen. He’d live and he’d heal, but it was going to take time for him to recover, especially to the point of him being able to train again, which I knew meant such a big deal to him.It was only last night that father told me that Leo had finally woken up but only for small moments here and there and so, the alpha and Luna had become a bit more lenient with him having visitors today, and that perhaps I could try and see him for myself.I stood looking at my reflection in my bedroom mirror fiddling with my hair. I had on a tidy black blouse and a

Chapter 19.

I felt an eery chill in the air as I started walking home from the hospital. Even though the sun had been shining all day, it just felt cold, quiet and gloomy. I wrapped my arms around my chest and began quickening my pace as I walked, feeling slightly on edge now that I was out here alone and from Leo’s previous warnings.I suddenly sniffed the air as I could smell a faint smell of fresh smoke wafting along the path. As I looked in the distance, I could see an orange glow covered in thick, black smoke. My heart lurched and I stomped quickly around the corner. Just as I passed the houses in view, there ahead, I could see my house and two others right next to it, burning on fire.“NOOO!”. I shouted as my heart raced. I ran as fast as I could toward my house, only noticing a few bystanders yelling for help and shouting for anyone inside.“MUUUM! MUUUM!”. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I got closer. “UNCLE! MUUUM!”. I screamed again as tears began to form in my eyes. I didn’t hesit

Chapter 20.

We kept walking, not taking any breaks, just treading further and further along the forest, going deeper than I’d hoped. There’s no way I could find my way home, especially on my own.“We’re here”. The man finally spoke and when I looked ahead, I good see through a cluster of trees, small orange lights glowing, dotted around.As soon as we walked through the trees and got to the other side, I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Where are we?” I asked him.“Camp! The safe zone!”. I simply replied. “Wait here!”. He ordered.I stood in the one spot as I looked around, there were several little wooden huts and cabins and ladders all up along some of the trees that lead to planked walkways. I scanned them, following where they led to with my eyes, and on opposite sides of the camp were two circular areas resting near the tops of the trees, and I could just about see two figures standing, watching on each of them. I glanced back at the man, to see he had walked to the first cabin and knocked on the
