All Chapters of Raven - The runaway wolf : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

For the first time in weeks I woke up feeling like a normal wolf, waking up to a normal and exciting life… however, that feeling only lasted for a second when the reminder of what we had to today came rushing back. But the peaceful bliss of the cabin, wrapped up in Leo’s arms, nothing but the chirping of the birds outside and his light breathing next to me. Wishful thinking had me wanting to just stay here in the safety and comfort of his body. To live in the positivity of the camp and shut out the rest of the world and our unpredictable future. I wanted to enjoy this, me and him, my friends, our slice of happiness in our dooming situation. Frustratingly, last night went too quickly. We had made love four times throughout the night in between our affectionate conversations of how much we felt devoted to one another. We had eventually fallen asleep after our final time of passion, leaving us with only three hours sleep, we might not have our full energy today, but after what I got to e

We set off at the crack of dawn whilst the rest of the pack were still sleeping, with only alpha Wayne and several of his bodyguards bidding us good luck at the gates. We had already guzzled down a breakfast so our energy was on full steam as we scurried through the forest toward Whitlock, hoping we didn’t have any rogue interferences so we could get to the blue mountains as quickly as possible. We were all glad that we actually knew where to look but sceptical at what we were going to find once we got there. If what Luke had told Violet was true, then we could get there and find nothing and no nightwolves. Just as we were close to Whitlock, Leo suddenly changed direction and sped off to the left with us following just behind. He looked confident her knew where he was going, and I trusted him to lead the way. We were already puffing and panting after four hours of running without stopping once, when he finally stopped in his tracks and we all gasped for br

I led on the stone floor after crying for so long, I had fallen asleep. I wasn’t ready to admit defeat yet, but I had to admit, my chance of getting out of here felt increasingly slim. I had tried to force my canines to extract so that I could sink them into my veins and suck the poison out, but no matter how much I willed them to grow, there was nothing. This poison was zapping too much of my energy and strength, I was so nauseated and groggy, and the room would constantly spin every time I moved.The bang of a heavy door in the distance stirred me from my hazy slumber, followed by the sounds of footsteps making their way closer to my prison. Then there he was…. Lurking outside the cell door with the only key to my freedom nestled between his fingers as he unclicked the padlock and opened the rusted door, rattling against it’s loose bolts. Hmm, a possible chance! I thought, wondering if I’d be strong enough to rip the door off it’s hinges. His face was almost a blur through my glaze

“This can’t be happening”. I wept to myself as I led across the cold hard floor. My body was shivering from the lack of nutrients and daylight. The poison was attacking my human cells and parts of my memory were already beginning to fade and mesh into one timeline. I couldn’t remember anything about the fire, just seeing the burning flames, I couldn’t remember my first day at the camp, and only snippets remained of when I first shifted. My two forms were a war, I’d suddenly feel an urge to attack, and I’d try to fight against it, which only left me even weaker and in tears.“This can’t be it!” I murmured to myself. My humanity was seizing to exist, but for now I could still feel the pain of what was happening to Leo, Izzy and Dante, and the overwhelming love I had for them, and even though it was agony, I held onto it. Clinging to my emotions would slow down the change, and I hoped it would be enough to still feel compassion and a sense of morality when it came to being used by Zach.

I felt incredibly uneasy all night as I tried to rest in the dug out fox hole, Zach had returned a few hours later to find I was gone. The constant thudding of feet running past, the shouting of demands to “fucking find her and drag the bitch back” echoed through the silence of the forest. I’d hear him growl loudly in frustration the longer time passed without any of his men being successful.Any time one of them ran past, I was so tempted to reach out, grab them by the ankles and pull them into the hole to kill them, but all night my body kept trembling and dazing in and out from the effects of the mushrooms and the poison attacking each other, and without the special herbs my grams used, the poison wouldn’t be completely erased from my body.My eyes suddenly shot open to the sounds of the birds chirping nearby and the daylight shining through the gaps of the brambles. I inhaled deeply, marvelling in the delight of how strong and fresh my lungs felt. I stretched my legs and they felt
