[Alpha! Please ride me! I'll take you out of the circle!] Noah shouted at Raven as another three rogues stepped out of the woods, roaring.Raven took 20 men with him this time when he headed toward Pouring Mountain. They searched for the whole day with no trace of rogues whatsoever, but on their way back, a group of 10 rogues out of nowhere ambushed them.It would have been okay if his loyal fighters didn't make a run for themselves, leaving Raven with only six fighters to fight with him.But Raven could understand them -- he was forced to shift back to his human form by a sudden burst of a strange pain in his stomach, and he could barely stand up, let alone fight.[No...] Raven muttered, lying on the ground, [Just saved yourselves, please...]He didn't want to get anyone killed for his stupidity, but none of the six wolves made a move.They didn't want to leave their Alpha.Raven could barely move at the pain, and he knew the chance of a wolf carrying a disabled human against a circl
"We don't negotiate with rogues." Iron shifted back and stood on the tip of the edge, his figure dominant."We will take our chance and fight our way out," Knight grinned at Iron, "but you can at least hide your ambition of wanting your Alpha dead a little bit better, BETA Iron."The wolves surrounding them didn't make too much a move hearing Knight's words, but Iron pressed his lips and hesitated."How is exposing his plan now gonna help?!" Raven hissed under his breath."He's powerful, but he is still trying to get you killed in a discreet way exactly because you still have most of your people's support. He can't kill you in plain sight...yet." Knight answered patiently in a lecturing tone as if dealing with a curious little kid.Raven frowned at that tone but had to agree with Knight. He was just upset he couldn't figure that out on his own."Don't be so hard on yourself. I have seen the world for five more years than you," Knight curved his lips, and Raven appreciated that thought
"Iron Hogan, Beta of the Pisces Pack," Knight rose his voice for all the wolves around them, "You are surrounded by my rogues, roughly three times more than your men, I would say?""Despicable!" Iron shouted as he glanced around. No trace of any wolves whatsoever."I wouldn't dare call myself that in front of you," Knight smirked, "but I'm gonna keep your Alpha for now, as my trophy. I assume you don't have a problem with that, do you?"Iron growled in anger: "Pisces's warriors! Tear that damn wolf apart! Attack!""I need to talk to them!" Raven hissed at Knight.Knight nodded slightly: "Try their loyalty to you and observe. You stand a chance at commanding them if most of them show loyal or at least neutral to you."[Uncle Iron!] Raven bit his lips, trying to find some energy left in his body to maintain the mindlink as he reached out to as many wolves as possible. Most of the warriors put through his mindlink request soon, and Iron was the last one to do so.[Alpha, we can't let the
Raven woke up in cold sweat, naked under a thin sheet in a simple bed.Knight wasn't there."Anyone? I need...water..." Raven tried to rise his voice, but he could barely hear himself. His limbs were still soft as mellow, and his throat dried due to the fever.He pulled himself up by the nightstand and looked around. He was in a shabby old cabin. All there was in the room, was only a table, a chair, a closet, a nightstand, and the bed under him.Did that fucking rogue put him in a prison cell?! Sounds like the kind of sadistic joke Knight would make.Raven breathed in hardship as his eyes fell on the kettle on the table.It took Raven minutes to get to it though. He had to support himself against the wall to avoid crawling to the table, but he made it in the end, only to find it empty."Guard!" Raven shouted, at least the frustration and anger amplified his voice, but only for a little.No one came though.Raven pulled himself to the door and pulled in fury, only to almost fall back b
"Raven..."In the darkness, Raven heard a rough bass. He blinked only to realize he wasn't in total darkness, but actually surrounded by a sea of the black tulip. The flower sea was so delicious that Raven didn't want to move at all, but the light in afar had a stronger pull on him so he walked forward.He walked for so long that he lost the sense of time, only to reach the white light to find out that it was actually a huge white wolf."Knight?" Raven murmured but the wolf didn't move. He walked forward and the wolf walked at the same time and walked forward, too, keeping the same distance between them. Raven wanted to run, but all of a sudden he felt something between his legs and his body stiffened when he realized someone was touching him!"Knight!" Raven snapped as he pushed that hand, but instead of backing away, the hand pinched him before stroking faster and faster. Instantly the friction built up in his as he moaned, enjoying the touching. Knight hugged him from behind -- or,
"And then you just got out?!" Simon rose his eyebrow so high they almost disappeared into his hair."What else am I supposed to do?!" Knight grunted in frustration."You sleep with so many women, AND men, how come you are still so bad at this?!" Simon burst into laughter at Knight's sullen look.A wood flew at Simon's way and he dodged Knight's ashamed-anger-driven attack in laughter."Seriously, when women say they want you to get out, usually they don't really want you out." Simon shook his head, "I learned that the hard way, trust me, the longer you 'stay out' the worse!"Knight rolled his eyes before he signed with a defeated tone: "Then what IS it that they want?""They want you to apologize, most of the time," Simon said in a lecturing tone."I did! I apologized, a lot! I barely rose my voice...I think." Knight rubbed his hair in frustration, "Except when I fed him the cure...I think.""There are a lot of 'I think' there." Simon squinted his eyes at Knight."I don't know, okay?!
"Say that again?!" Raven wheeled back, and the two talking rogues frowned at him with unfriendly stares."New guy?" A guy with a huge scar over his eyes asked gruffly."Yeah! Sorry, I was just shocked." Raven went and sat on another stool made out of a stump, "It's just, you said the leader has a mistress? I always saw him as...you know, indifferent to women type."The two rogues exchanged a shocked look before they burst into laughter."Unless all those moans from his room were from fairies hahaha!" The thinner guy laughed so loud that beer burst out of his nose."He takes his mistresses here?! To the village?" Raven gasped before he bit his lips. He had been trying to hide the weird sting in his chest after Knight insist the doctor take a look, only to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with him."Ohh, nooo!" The scarred man grinned mysteriously, "This one is special! Leader won't even let us know who she is! He had never been discreet about all those women he brought back
"I-I can't breath..." Raven muttered with his pupils dilated, "What's happening to me? Am I poisoned again?""No, this is the rejection sting," Knight answered quickly, "Can you fucking listen to me?! You ARE my mate!""Liar..." Raven mumbled, "I would know if you are! This is by far your stupidest lie...""You can't feel it for some reason, but I can feel you! My wolf claimed you as our mate, Raven!" Knight tapped Raven's face, but that didn't get too much of a response from him. It was like Raven was fainting."Simon! Get in here!" Knight shouted and Simon dashed into the room instantly with a grin--"What a fierce fight! We all heard it!" Simon smirked, "'Who's the mistress!' 'You are my mate!'. Those are good shit! The village is going to talk about you for a WHILE!"His grin froze at the panicked look on Knight's face."What's wrong?" Simon glanced at Raven, "What happened to HIM?""The rejection sting, I guess?" Knight shouted in panic, "I don't know! He just grabbed his collar
