Raven slept through the next three days with a fever so high that the pact was certain they needed a new Alpha yet again.He saw his parents' bodies soked in blood, clawing their throat in the excruciating pain in silence, protecting their only son; he saw his father shaking hands with rogues before Knight's pack was burned to the ground in horrifying screams; and he saw Knight, crawling on the ground with his legs broken, and his eyes filled with the flames of revenge.The last image burned Raven's eyes when little Knight's broken legs overlapped with the grown-up Knight.He jerked up in his own bed in the middle of the night, soked in a cold sweat."Alpha, you are awake!" Elena burst into happy tears before she threw herself into Raven before Raven understood what happened."You...why are you here?" Raven mumbled, his throat shut dry from the three days' fever."You have slept for three days in a high fever, mumbling gibberish that no one could understand, and I have been taking car
Even with Elena's help, Iron's old supporters gave Raven hell when he finally was well enough to pick up the Alpha's work."Whatever Iron did, you should at least bring him back for a trial, Alpha! He's the beta of the pack!" An elderly, Oliver scolded Raven, "We have laws now! It's not like we are still living our wild ways, running around naked in the forest!""He tried to kill me." Raven said coldly, "And I had all the intention to bring him back for more information about his dark deals with the rogues, actually--""But you cut open his throat!" Another elderly cut Raven off, "How do you expect Iron to survive that huge a wound without any medical help?!""Howard, calm down--" Alvin frowned with a calm tone."Don't tell me to calm down!" Howard snapped at Alvin, "Raven never wanted Iron to make it back! What's up with such a sloppy execution?!""It's still Alpha to you, Howard." Raven frowned coldly as Frost pressed to the surface.The room fell in silence."Alpha, I understand yo
"How are you feeling today?" Simon knocked before he went into Knight's room with two huge buckets of distilled water, "The Pisces sent these.""Two buckets of water?" Knight rose an eyebrow with a smirk. He had been lying on his stomach in bed for days cause of the wounds on his back and the back of his thighs, not to mention his broken knees."These are distilled water, to clean your wounds." Simon laughed as he put them down on the ground, "And no, they sent another truck of them. I just might murder you if I have to boil water for you all day long."Knight chuckled lightly as he sat up, letting Simon clean and put medicines on his knees.Most of his wounds healed by now, more or less, but his knees took their time and Simon had to wash the wounds every day just to prevent infection."How's my arm still not working?" Knight frowned, swinging his broken arm in displease, "My legs were almost torn off, and they healed faster than the damn arm!""Because flesh heals faster than bones.
It took Elena less than seven days to arrange the whole wedding, though even for such a smart mind, it was seven busy days, not to mention--Raven didn't help at all.He buried himself in the files found in Iron's mansion, and all the results from the ongoing investigation -- he was determined to get to the bottom of the rogue's deal."Speak now or forever hold your silence." The minister said in a drawling voice.Raven had warned himself a million times before the wedding to not expect Knight to come -- he didn't even send an invitation to Knight, let alone the fact that Knight already rejected him. But when those words of the minister fell on the ground, he couldn't help but glanced around the meadow where all the guests sat until his eyes hit the edge of the forest.No one "spoke".The minister carried on the process before Raven could even retrieve his eyesight. He managed the "I do" only after Elena gripped his hands lightly when his ears were ringing loud as his heart pounded fa
"Alpha?" Elena knocked on Raven's door not long after Alvin left.Raven looked up from the files he was reading, but he didn't reply. He didn't want to reply. He had been suppressing the desperation in his chest about losing Knight, but the more he did, the more he realized how strong he felt about Knight."Alpha, may I come in?" Elena asked in a timorous voice after a few seconds."Yes, come in." Raven sighed and closed the file. Elena kept her eyes low until she closed the door behind her, but she didn't approach him right away. She changed from the huge, eye-catching wedding dress to a white, silk one that was tight enough to show her luring figure, but still slides when she walks to give her an elegant vibe."Would you do me the honor for a drink..." Elena put the two glasses of wine on the table with her cheeks blushing red, "...hu-husband?"Raven's body stiffened at her addressing. It gave him goosebumps."I have had enough for the night." Raven dodged her eyes, only to watch in
"What are you doing here?!" Raven wheeled on Knight's smirk with a gasp, only to realize he shouted out loud before he snapped his head at Elena--Who was still lying still in bed."She can't hear you." Knight pulled Raven in with a smirk, crashing his firm abdomen into Raven's, "That excited to see me, huh? I'm honored."Raven pushed Knight away and Knight let go with a smirk.Raven's eyes were fixed on Knight with his lips pursed and his fists shaking. His body was so stiffened that he didn't realize he stopped breathing as pain and shock took over him.Knight's smirk faded a little."How are you doing these days?" Knight asked lightly, pretending to not notice Raven's death stare. He walked up and Raven took a step away from him instantly.Knight stopped and just smiled at Raven."What, are, you, doing, here?" Raven squeezed words out of his clenched teeth, eyes still fixed on Knight as if that could burn a hole through Knight's body."Came to say thank you for the distilled water,
"You need to leave," Raven said with his eyes still closed. He didn't dare look at Knight when he said that. Knight's move paused and that stiff alone rose the sharp sting in Raven's chest. He clenched his teeth with a frown, only to gasp when--"Say that again, little wolf," In a dangerous tone, Knight gripped Raven's balls from under hard, the vibration of his voice came through from his chest to Raven's ribs with their bodies pressed together tight."I said," Raven gasped in pain as he squeezed words through his clenched teeth, "I want you to leave!""It doesn't feel like you 'want' that," Knight slapped Raven hard on his tip and Raven trembled hard, "You are rock hard already.""Please stop, I don't want to hurt you." Raven pushed Knight on the chest, and the only result of those words was a hard clench from Knight on his balls. A groan escaped Raven as he shivered hard in Knight's hand, his legs trembling as sweat rolled off his forehead."You don't want to hurt me?" Knight sneer
Knight let go of Raven with a disbelieving look.Raven got rid of the shirt bounding him before he check his pant's zip and confirmed its death. He took off his pants and put them together with his torn shirts, all without looking at Knight.He didn't dare to."You can leave now." Raven said with his back facing Knight as he folded his torn clothes on the table as if he was doing some serious job, "It's my wedding night, and the elderly are looking forward to some marks on our necks tomorrow."They had been pressing him for that because Elena wouldn't be able to work as the Luna without the mark of the Alpha.Knight sneered coldly behind Raven: "So, you are just gonna dump me after you had your fun with me before you go and get a 'real' Luna? Is that it?""Why, do you want to be the Luna of the pack that ruined your life?" Raven snorted, still folding his clothes like a broken record, all because he didn't dare face Knight."Suppose I do," Knight said coldly with his teeth clenched, "
