||Raven||“ I swear to you Raven . The northern witch is one of the good ones . I can vouch for her. I have been working with her for years . She only deals with white magic. “ Glinda ranted out as we walked onto the left wing . Where I have been staying with Zander and Daisy .“ There is no such thing as a good witch “ I replied, with a pointed look . “ Just loyal once , like myself."she sighed, “ please Raven, I can’t live with myself if something happens to you or Jessica, when I know I can do something to help “, she pleaded, and her face turned grey.“ No , Glinda, living with a witch is out of the question. Zander’s pack would be best. My wolf needs to be with people like us “ I bit my lips anxiously, hating the idea of putting my life in the hands of a stranger .“You win, Raven . I am not even going to argue with you, stubborn bitch!” She grumbled.“ You persistent witch!” I resorted.She giggled and threw herself on my bed .“ I’m too tired to lift my own arm and fight with
||Raven||Glinda stayed behind while the rest of us travelled inside the airport and boarded the plane to Orlando. Daisy immediately took the window seat , pointing at the ant-like houses below us. I could see uneasiness on Jessica’s face as she tried to distract herself by playing with a very excited Daisy .I know this was not easy for her as this was our first time on a plane and the agitated feeling of flying in the air would scare the shit out of anyone.Half way through our journey , Zander fell asleep against the window. He was tired . We all were. Travelling from south to north Alaska was not easy.We didn’t have time to rest in between except Daisy, who was comfortable enough to sleep in the car. I secretly wished the window was my shoulder. I wasn’t going to push Zander, she needed time to heal and trust me.Though he didn’t say it out loud, I knew it was a difficult decision he made, going back to the place where he lost everything and had his heart broken . It takes coura
||Zander||I woke up to Daisy curling in between Raven and me. My heart jumped in bliss, for the first time ever, I had a mate to share a bed with and then spend my life with.I had thought I would relive the heartbreak and pain of losing my mate, Rose, when I returned to my pack, but the feeling was the opposite. I felt fulfilled. It felt so good to be home. I was at ease, knowing that I could control the security around the pack ground and protect Raven with the help of my family and pack.I leaned over and kissed Raven on the forehead. She moaned in her sleep, drawing Daisy into her chest. I chuckled and I looked out to see the sun was down and the moon was up. We slept the entire day. I climbed out of bed to shower. After my evening shower, I took the opportunity to head to my office on the ground floor and catch up on some work.When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Theodore had taken care of everything in my absence.As soon as I settled in my chair, I sent
||Raven||I woke up for the second time this morning to Daisy showering my face with kisses. As soon as I opened my eyes, she smiled mischievously.I lifted myself off the bed and kissed her cute little nose.She giggled happily, I turned us over and started tickling her tummy. She laughed so loudly, tearing up.“ Hey love, are you hungry? The pack is about having breakfast. Wanna come down and join us?” Zander’s voice filled my head. The pack?Did he mean the 900 members??“ When you say the pack, how many are we talking about?" He chuckled and had my face flushed.“ I don’t mean the 900 people,“ he said, as if he was reading my mind.“ It’s just the family. The people you met yesterday and Theodore.““ Theodore??”“ Yes, the pack's gamma and also my nephew. “Okay! That can’t be too bad. I can handle his family and two other people.“ Sure that sounds good. I’m very famished." I rubbed my belly. "Do you think you can come around and guide us to the kitchen? “He was silent and ou
||Raven||“ Rogues!!” My muscles tensed at his word. I have heard so much about rogues but I haven’t seen one before. I have heard how deadly they could be. They had no human instinct in them.“ Emily, Raven, it’s not safe, we need to go. “ he grunted, ushering us out. Before we could walk out completely, my eyes met three men whose eyes flashed red. They smirked instantly at the fear that danced in my eyes.We quickly got in the car and the warrior drove us out of the mall's parking lot.On our drive back, there was a lot of tension in the car and Emily was quiet. She was no longer talking and laughing like she had been doing all morning. I could tell how they were affected by this rogue. I almost forgot I used to be one myself, when I left my paternal pack.“ So Theodore, you have a mate?” I asked, in an attempt to distract everyone from the rogues.“ No, not yet. I’m still searching “ “ I think she does not come from any of the packs around here” Emily stated.“ I figured much. “
||Zane ||My blood was running cold. Have you felt yourself drowning so deep in darkness that you couldn’t find the strength to pull yourself out of it? That was what I was feeling.It had been 2 hours since my mate was unconscious and since I brought Emily to the hospital and no one was telling us anything. The doctors and nurses were running in and out of Emily’s room . As each second passed, I was filled with dread . Our mate bond was turning colder and colder .It was as if Emily was there and wasn’t there at the same time.Blaze couldn’t contact or connect with Lea and the feeling of them being gone was straining the mate bond . I paced up and down outside the door waiting for the doctors to tell us something… even if it was bad news . But all they did was to run in and out of the room.I was growing impatient and as soon as the doctor came out of her room, I grabbed him by the throat.“ What is going on in there? What are you doing to my mate, “ I growled as Axel took over.
||Raven ||The rogues were here for me. They wanted me. I knew my location had been found. That was the only logical explanation I could come up with. After the rogue attacks, I felt guilty. I began regretting agreeing to come to the Golden Lycan pack, because of what I am people have to suffer. People have died and that didn’t sit well with me. I hated the idea and I was beginning to hate being the raven wolf.“ What happened is not your fault, Raven. “ “ Don’t even shit with me, Athena! These people were happy. They were living in peace. We've only been here for less than 48 hours and see what has happened. “ I gritted my teeth angrily at Athena, angry at myself for making Zane and Emily miserable. For being the main cause of their pain. Zane and Zander might not say it but they know it and I know that I was the cause of the rogue attack, not Emily.“ Will you just stop this nonsense “ Athena growled. “self-blame won’t bring Emily back, but with a clear head and positive energy
||Raven||Our floor was dark and quiet when we got home. Thinking Daisy and Jess were sleeping, I walked to their rooms but found them empty.“ Zander, where are Jess and Daisy ?” I furrowed my brows and walked to our bedroom. “ They are on my parents' floor. They are spending the night at my parents', “ I nodded in relief.My mind went back to today's event and the price Emily paid on my behalf. I knew that poison was meant for me and not Emily .She was just a victim in the attack. My mood and emotions changed and Zander noticed the changes as he asked.“ what’s up with you ? Are you okay ?” Concern for my well being filled his voice and that revitalized me, but was not enough to take away my worries….“ I shouldn’t be here, Zander. I should be far away from you and your pack. All this is because of me. Emily was hurt because of me." Tears rolled down my cheeks as I asked the question that had been nagging me all day. “ They have found me, haven’t they? They are coming for me,” m
