Chapter 13 Reiver:Redemption
Warriors are not the ones who always win
but the ones who always fight.
ANON.
The mounted Templars rode back to Lairg where Duncan discovered that Brother Andrew was in the pack hospital. He left his Kelpie with another Templar and found the hospital where the scene was one of chaos, doctors and medics running everywhere.
“Are you hurt?” Duncan spun round towards the voice where he saw a fierce looking Reiver she- wolf in a nurse’s uniform.
“No, I’m fine, I just want to know if Brother Andrew is ok?”
“We have the best doctors on their way, they need to get the bullet out so he’ll be in surgery as soon as they get here, that’s all I can tell you.”
“Thank you.” he replied, running his hands through his hair in despair, if he was still alive there was always hope. He went back and relayed this news to his fellow Templars and there was no question that they would remain in the town until there was m

Reiver Chapter 14 Reiver:Redemption
Alpha females don’t run in packs. ANON. Once the bus dropped them off in the city centre, Annie and Jen wandered around for half an hour to be absolutely sure they were not being tailed. Once they were convinced it was safe, they headed out of the city. It took them four hours to walk to Queensferry and to cross the Forth Bridge, from there they pushed north, skirting the towns of Cowdenbeath and Kinross until they reached Loch Ore. They sat on the banks of the loch and ate the sandwiches and as dusk claimed the skies, they undressed and packed their clothes into their bags. They shifted and picking the bags up in their teeth, they ran across fields and through woods to Kinhaven where Pete had arranged for them to stay with his parents for the night. They were both exhausted and after Pete’s mother cooked them some food they both fell into their beds and were asleep as soon as their heads hit their pillows. They rose in the

Poor little foals of an oppressed race! l love the languid patience of thy face. Samuel Taylor Coleridge. She found brief respite when she saw Brother Andrew climb out of the car. Thank the Goddess he was alive, he shook hands with Alpha Solomon before giving her a hug. He held her said he was proud of her which made her heart swell, no one had ever said to her before, not even her parents. She smiled through her tears and helped her mentor up the steps and into the warmth of the pack house. Brother Andrew spoke with his wolf. “We might have to lock those two in a room together, they are as stubborn as each other.” Kirk huffed with laughter but thought it was probably going to take something that drastic to break the deadlock between them, neither Brother Andrew nor his wolf had any idea why they were so determined to stay away from each other, but he could see the pain in Jen’s face no ma

Many of the wolves that looked thee over when thou wast brought to the Council first are old too, and the young wolves believe, as Shere Khan has taught them, that a man-cub has no place with the Pack. Rudyard Kipling They ended the call so Alpha Solomon could arrange a Parley with the Government. Twenty minutes later Hugh called them back, the Parley would be in four days time, and as Pete had suggested, they were going to use the conference room at Forensics Scotland. “Why did Alpha Armstrong have to give permission for us to cross his land, me I can understand, I’m human, but you’re a Reiver, so what’s his problem?” Pete sighed, he had never wanted to tell her about this, but he decided now was the time to tell her the truth. He told her about not being able to set foot on Reiver territory or to pledge his allegiance because she, his mate, was human. He inwardly groaned as he saw how u

He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same. Emily Bronte. Duncan broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers, his eyes closed, his breathing ragged. He wanted this she wolf so badly, Fael felt serene for the first time since he was a child and gently urged him on. Without a word he looked into Jen’s eyes, he had no idea what she wanted but the look she gave him filled him with hope, it was one of total adoration and his heart swelled, she wanted him too. He took her hand and led her up to the hay loft where he had been lying awake until he scented her coming into the stable building. Jen followed him and as she climbed up the ladder behind him she saw blankets laid out on the soft, sweet smelling straw, Duncan took her hand again and led her to them. Jen stripped her coat off and relieved herself of her boots then she was in Duncan’s arms again as he kissed down her neck

Most people do not listen with the intention to understand. Stephen R Covey. Pete waited to hear from the Home Secretary about the Parley. When the phone call finally came he feigned ignorance, careful he didn’t let them know he already knew. He informed Home Secretary Sillicoe that he was away at a conference that day but the Miss Cole would be in charge and much to his relief, Sillicoe had accepted Sarah’s authority without question, now all they had to do was convince the Magdalene to do the same. Annie and Hugh had raced back Edinburgh as soon as they could and Annie had been frantically adding names to the family tree ever since she had arrived but there was so much to do to get it ready in time. She had worked on it for twenty four hours solid but she was still panicking as they only had two days left and it was still nowhere near finished. Hugh read out the names and checked the dates while Annie wrote them in their p

Threats alone are the weapons of the threatened man. Leonardo Da Vinci The meeting broke up and the wolves watched as the Magdalene were marched out of the door. The Home Secretary approached them looking embarrassed. “I apologise unreservedly for their rudeness, I think they were embarrassed that they’ve just been schooled in their own religion.” he said with a weak smile. The wolves just nodded in agreement and he excused himself and caught up with Sarah as she made her way back along the corridor. “Miss Cole, I just want to thank you for keeping a cool head in there. I’m always worried that one day, one of these Parleys is going to end up in a massacre.” Sarah stopped walking as she didn’t want Sillicoe seeing Pete. “Why? From what I just witnessed it’s not the wolves you need to worry about, it’s the humans, they are the one throwing threats around. The wolves don’t seem that different to us if you

No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected. Julius Caesar. Alpha Armstrong was good to his word. Stuart drove them to an airfield deep in Reiver territory where they were bundled aboard his private plane and flown back to Edinburgh in relative comfort. “I think you’re the only human to have ever stepped foot on Reiver territory.” mused Pete as he they disembarked the plane. “And you’re the only wolf who has stepped on Reiver territory that has a human as mate I bet.” “Yeah probably.” “Let’s hope it’s a learning experience for Alpha Armstrong.” smiled Brother Andrew as they walked towards the airport building. Much to their surprise, Camron was waiting for them as they exited the building. “Alpha Armstrong had asked me to deliver you to Forensics Scotland in one piece, Brother Andrew, I can drop you at Rosslyn afterwards if that’s ok with y

Truth will rise against falsehoodas oil above water.Miguel de Cervantes.Sarah watched in disbelief as Beta Saul launched himself over the table, he grabbed Kerpen’s gun hand as he flattened him to the floor in a tangle of chairs and limbs. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion, Sarah turned her head saw Hugh grab Annie and shield her body with his and she briefly saw Beta Johnstone leap across the table in Baden’s direction. There were screams and growls and the sound of the cracking of bones as someone shifted before she was knocked backwards off her feet and flattened to the floor. The fall knocked the wind out of her and she bashed the back of her head so hard she could see lights in front of her eyes. She heard Annie shouting to the wolves not to kill anyone and then as quickly as it started all the noise stopped, there was nothing but the sound of the Home Secretary shouting into his phone and the crash o
