Reiver Chapter 21 Reiver: Retribution
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

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Stand brave and upright, Speak the truth even if it means your life, Protect the helpless and do no wrong. Templar oath. There was an audible buzz of excitement around the Reiver Pack house as the Croziers arrived and parked in the unusually crowded car park. It was the day the Macgregor Clan were to be initiated back into the Reiver Pack and the entire place was a hive of activity. The Reivers had spared no expense on this celebration and seemed keen to impress, or perhaps the correct term would be to intimidate the MacGregors with an ostentatious show of wealth. Omegas were flitting around either taking coats or filling glasses and making sure everyone had whatever they needed. Annie linked her arm in Hugh’s as they climbed the steps and entered the impressive hallway where an omega took Annie’s coat before they walked across to the ballroom. The room couldn’t have looked more different than it had for Annie and Hugh’s wedding almost

Too much rogue is a sign of despair. Arlene Dahl. Duncan Conell was a rogue, he had been a rogue ever since his idiot father had challenged their Alpha and had lost. The Alpha had killed Duncan’s father and he and his mother had no choice but to run, making it over to England by way of the ferry from Dublin to Heysham. His mother hadn’t lasted long once they were safe on the mainland, pining for her dead mate, Duncan had woken one morning in the forest where they were sleeping rough to find her dead, the grief taking her at some point during the night. Like the dutiful son he buried her in the forest and doing the best he could, he marked her grave with some flowers and greenery he found lying around, Duncan was no more than fifteen years old. Being rogue at such a young age should have been hard but Duncan revelled in the freedom, the freedom from his father’s fists, his mother’s drinking and her reliance on him, he felt free.

No one can save me and I don’t expect them to, but the ones who wait patiently my side while I’m saving myself, those are my true heroes. Stephanie Bennet-Henry. Duncan was sat in what looked to be a dining room with the man who had saved him. He was in a dark place, angry and brooding, the loss of his mate had left him feeling numb and empty. Fael was back but he was still weak leaving Duncan feeling vulnerable especially as the dining room was busy with other wolves, some eating, some just drinking coffee and chatting. They all had a similar scent telling him they were from the same pack and here was Duncan, a rogue, sat amongst them and not one of them batting an eyelid that he was here. “Are you going to tell me what this place is?” asked Duncan. “This is a Chapter House.” “What does that even mean, you’re wolves, so this is a Pack house, right?” “Yes we are wolves, but no, this i
