Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand.Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.William Shakespeare.For 306 years, Sentinel had done its job, gone above and beyond to keep the Packs in check and the human safe from the wolves. It wasn’t like the humans hadn’t tried to make peace with the Packs, during the two world wars for example, the wolves had been approached on more than one occasion and requested them to join the armed forces to fight for King and country. Some Packs and individual wolves chose to fight with the humans but most did not. Not one of the Reiver clans chose to join up as it was pointed out in a meeting of all the Clans, wolves were not welcome in human society until they needed warriors, they didn’t want to live with wolves but they expected the wolves to die for them. They had been persecuted, shunned and ignored for hundreds of years and as far as the Reivers were concerned, the wars were a human problem so let the humans fight and die for them. A vote wa

Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled. Richelle. E. Goodrich Grenville left the train in Edinburgh at 07.45 feeling quite refreshed as he managed to sleep for five hours, lulled to sleep by the swaying of the train. The first thing he did was find a place to grab some food, he found an all day pub right by Waverley Station where he ordered a full English breakfast. He struggled to find somewhere to sit as the place was heaving with tourists and commuters which surprised him as it was only eight in the morning. He found a small table squeezed into a corner and squashed himself into it. After breakfast he went to look for somewhere to stay, he wandered around for hours but to his frustration everywhere he found was full. Grenville, in his rush to get to Edinburgh hadn’t realised that the Fringe Festival was on and as a highly popular event, the city was crammed with performers from all over the world. There was hardly a hotel room or bed and breakf

A MacGregor is a wolf who will double crossthat bridge when comes to it.Oliver Levant./ M. HowardSarah and Pete wandered around for a few more hours before Pete walked her home.“Do you want me to pick you up for work tomorrow?” asked Pete, kissing her.“No, I’ll make my own way in, I don’t want to be the topic of lab gossip.” she replied, kissing him back.“Let them gossip if they want, I don’t care. I want everyone to know you’re mine.” mumbled Pete as he nuzzled her neck.“I don’t mind people knowing at all, it’s just I’d like to keep our private life private, it’s nothing to do with anyone else what we do.”Rufus growled his displeasure but Pete understood. Office gossip was the worst and Sarah didn’t want to be at the centre of it, he got it.“Well you better not be late in the morning or I might have to discipline you.” laughed Pete.“Well in that case, I’m going to make sure I’m at least ten minutes late.” she said as she left him, throwing a mischievous look over her should

The wolf that one hears is worsethan the orc that one fears.J.R.R. Tolkien.By the time Hugh had bought the wine, the police were speeding towards the industrial estate. The caller hadn’t been specific about which building the shots had come from so it took another couple of hours to find the bodies. The horrific scene they discovered had made even experienced police officers retreat outside, some of them were left retching as they gasped for air. Paramedics went in to check for signs of life but not one officer who had witnessed that scene had any hope of either of the men being alive, so the shock was palpable when a paramedic dashed out of the building, grabbed a stretcher out of the ambulance and screamed the officers to help her to carry it up the steps.Unbelievably one of the victims was clinging to life, his pulse was weak but it was there. The paramedics worked on him for a long time trying to stem the bleeding, they hooked him up to fluids and gave him a blood transfusion

I was a wolf, and she my moon. Anon. Hugh drove Annie to their new house as the builders had finished the week before. Speeding down the country lanes Annie could hardly contain her excitement, they had been staying at Hugh’s house and he hadn’t let her see the new house for a few weeks as the finishing touches were being completed. Her furniture was arriving that afternoon and today would be the first time she would see it with all the carpets down and the drapes hung. Once they arrived she walked around the house in amazement. It had been a building site the last time she had been there, now all the dirt and dust was gone and everything was bright and cheerful. Charles appeared from the kitchen with two glasses of champagne on a tray. “Welcome home Delta Crozier and Miss. Lovell.” he said, handing them each a glass. Annie sipped her champagne as she wandered into the kitchen, it looked amazing in there. The units were in keeping with the age of the house but had every appliance

Reiver Epilogue
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller. Six months on from the shooting Grenville was well enough to be discharged from hospital. He was moved to a Government funded nursing home in the Kent countryside, a home for old spies and government workers who held secrets that could never be public knowledge. He had suffered brain injury due to the damage inflicted by Harris’ bullet but he was able to manage most daily tasks with minimal help. He had a comfortable room and everything he needed was provided for him. The security services had tried to interview him a few times to try to ascertain what happened that day but Grenville was unable to recall much at all. He was talking obsessively about the Reivers, saying he had been following Crozier. His interviewers just shook their heads, Crozier hadn’t even been there as far as they were concerned. He was still convinced that Crozier was responsible, ranted that he was dangerous and must be killed. Unfortunately not all th
Reiver Reiver:Redemption Prologue
The Knights Templar are recorded as one of the fiercest fighting forces in history famed for protecting Christian Pilgrims travelling in the Holy Land but what modern history books don’t reveal, is that the Templars were wolves. Once the Wolf Packs had steadfastly refused to participate in the second Scottish Rebellion of 1745, King George II ordered that the wolves were to be eradicated from history. Scribes spent years rewriting historical documents and manuscripts, obliterating the entire race from the annals of history. Where the wolves had done anything remotely heroic or loyal, the scribes attributed these acts to humans and any achievements that didn’t fit in to this new world order were just removed altogether. Unfortunately, many of these re-written histories remain as credible testimonies to this day. In around 1118, a French wolf called Hugues de Payens, a rogue but also an aristocrat, formed the Templar Pack for any rogue who wanted to join. As a rogue himself he knew tha
