“Grams!”. I nervously called out as I approached her. She turned to greet me whilst she cleared away loose mud and grit on her cabin steps. “Hello sweetheart. Did you manage to collect enough for dinner?” “I did. I’ve already put it away with the rest of the food”. I informed her. “Great, it’s nice to see you’re more comfortable with the camp and mucking in with the rest of us”. “Just want to do my bit. But I need to talk with you”. “Ok, what’s on your mind?” She asked curiously as she walked over. “Well, I know you’re not going to like it, but it’s something I have to do”. “And what is that?” She asked dubiously. “I want to go back to Whitlock, but not actually into Whitlock, I just need to get close enough to the border….” “What for?” “Grams, I need to know if everyone is ok. The way I left thing… I… I feel so guilty. I just have to know what they did to my father”. “But Raven, it’s so risky. Not only could you get caught, but you said yourself there have been rogues

When we had returned to camp, I could see that grams was itching to ask me questions, but I took my serving of food and ate alone in my cabin, before going to sleep. Every night I had thought of them, but last night, I could see how sad and tired my father had looked. He was always so strong, capable and I always felt safe when he was home, but yesterday he looked as though he had no fight left in him. I kept telling myself not to get too hopeful that it was my mother Izzy had seen, but ohh… how I kept wishing and hoping it was! At least then father wasn’t handling everything alone, although him even leaving the house suggested mother was alive and well. I knew for sure, he’d keep himself locked up and isolated in the house, if she had died in the fire. The only person neither of us had seen, was my uncle. I ached with how much I just wanted to be back in the house with them, even if it was on a bad day dealing with one of uncle’s episodes, I didn’t care, I’d take it, as long as I wa

“I know I need to let you do whatever it is you need to do”. Gram’s sad dolefully as she put her soft hand on my cheek. “I guess I was just so happy to be in your life again, that I became afraid that I lose you”. “I know. I don’t want to lose you either”. I sighed as I realised why she had been so protective. “But the more you try to keep me locked away here, the more it’s just going to push me away”. “Yes, I can see that now. Just be safe my darling, and whatever happens, we’ll deal with it together, that is a promise”. “Really, you mean it?” “Of course, I do. You were right, we should always want to do want to do what’s right for the ones we love so, from now on, I won’t hold you back”. “Thanks grams”. I replied as I leaned in to hug her. “Now then…”. She continued as she sniffed back a tear of worry and unwrapped her arms from around me. “I’ve asked Zach to go with you, Dante and Izzy today, just for precaution. The more of our trained members you have with you, the more

My mind was on overdrive as I roughly bonded two long planks of wood together for the new cabin. I was tired, furious and I kept picturing Violet on the night of the fire. That girl has got some damn good acting skills, I really believed her that night, she just looked so genuinely scared for me, and I felt like the biggest fool to have ever listened to her and trusted she wanted to help me. Everything about that night just wouldn’t stop flashing though my mind no matter what I did to try and distract myself. The mood I was in was certainly clear, it must be so evident on my face, as everyone kept their distance and gave me some space. Even when we walked back to camp yesterday, Neither Izzy, Dante or Zach said anything as I stomped along in silence. The urge to tear her apart was bubbling inside of me, and I’d even fantasize about doing it. What she had said was true though, and that’s what worried me even more. My father had been at Caleb’s side for so many years now, his best guard

For two nights we had been doing this, two long exhausting nights, and my enthusiasm for doing this was beginning to fade. Grams kept reminding me to be patient, but that was easy for her to say, she wasn’t the one who’s mind was beginning to feel warped, and her body wasn’t flashing hot and cold. I’d have moments of feeling like I was physically in front of Violet, I could feel the rage, and my body would burn, always leaving me with a thumping migraine. The visions were so clear, I could see the colour of her eyes, smell the earth around me, and feel her neck squeezing in my hands, the way her heart would quicken as she tried to gasp for air. But as soon as I’d come out of those visions, I’d feel as if I was about to keel over from exhaustion. Both nights she had me focusing on Violet and the night of the fire, all the bullying and snide comments she had made throughout the years, and her success in managing to turn the entire pack against me, including Caleb, who no doubt wished he

“That felt easier!”. I said to Dante as I quickly covered myself with a blanket. “You can turn around now”. I told him as he had his back to me, so that he wouldn’t see me naked. “You’re shifting a lot quicker now”. He acknowledged, turning round to face me. “How is your body feeling?” “Umm… I definitely don’t feel as tired, and my legs feel fine”. “That’s great, Raven. Considering how many times you’ve had to shift, you don’t seem fed up yet”. “I’ll take this over the training grams was giving me”. I chuckled as Dante handed me some food he had bought with him. “It might have been exhausting but it’s gotten you to this far”. He pointed out as we both sat next to each other on the grass. “True! Honestly Dante, I really thought it was all a waste of time. I still can’t believe it worked, and I have a wolf now!.... I.have.a.wolf!”. I smiled widely. “And a strong one at that!. Seriously, Raven, your wolf is remarkable”. “Thank you!”. I chirped. “The emotions and the strength I

We crept closely to the border, Dante on my right and Izzy to my left. We had barely left the camp before Izzy came bounding over demanding to know where we were going without her. As soon as I told her, she was insistent on coming, in fact, it wasn’t even up for debate, she was coming, whether we said yes or not. But I liked having her with us, she knew everything there was to know, and she already hated Violet almost as much as I did, and I knew she was doing this for me, and it would pull at my heart strings to feel like I had actually found someone I could call a friend. “It’s quieter today”. Dante observed as we peeped through the trees and looked along the border. “Look…”. I said to them as I pointed toward the palace. “Most of the guards are over there. Why are so many posted at the palace? Have they learned nothing? There’s not near enough guards watching the border!”. I scoffed in disbelief. “Well, we haven’t been here for a few days, perhaps we missed something”. Izzy poin
Raven - The runaway wolf Chapter 31.
The following morning as we sat around the camp together eating our breakfast, everyone was mulling over the events of last night. Talking about how the ruckus woke them and how concerned they were with having yet more rogues coming into our camp. It seemed as though, we had to start treating our small piece of safety as an actual piece of pack land. When Dante, Izzy and I had finished our guarding duty early this morning, grams had woken up early and began assigning a rota for several camp members to take in turns with guarding the camp area. She informed us all, that we were to patrol near the treeline in our wolf form, hoping that would be enough to warn any rogues not to approach. Dante had told me that they’ve never had to do anything like this before, and he felt that savage rogues were on the rise. Just as the rest of us were cleaning away the leftovers from breakfast, Zach suddenly let out a growl, loud enough to warn us that strangers were coming. We all gathered closely in
