Scales of the wolf 36, A funeral
Rayvin woke the following day and stayed curled up in Mikael’s arms. Today, there would be no morning training. Today, there would be a funeral. It would be a tough day and she wanted a moment of peace before facing it. She felt Mikael stir next to her. “Is it time to get up?” he mumbled in a sleepy voice. Rayvin had to smile. He could be so adorable. “Not yet. You can sleep for another half an hour,” she told him and placed a kiss over his heart. He hummed as to confirm he heard her and tightened his grip around her. Rayvin relaxed into him and lay, half asleep, and watched the sun come up through the window. Spring would be coming soon, she thought. The days were getting longer. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Mikael asked, still with his eyes closed. “I prefer to be awake and enjoy this moment,” she told him. “If you would have told me, I would have stayed awake and enjoyed it with you,” he said, placing a kiss on top of her head. She smiled and raised her head off his chest so she
Scales of the wolf 37, An official introduction
The day after the funeral, Mikael was sitting in the meeting room in the pack house with Rayvin by his side. It would be the first alpha meeting for her as his luna. As always, the thought of her in her rightful place made Mikael happy. He logged onto the meeting and the screen in front of them filled with images of other alphas and lunas. Rayvin reached out and took his hand. Mikael could feel her nervousness through their bond. ‘Relax, Ray, you have done worse things than this,’ he mind linked her while they waited for everyone to join. ‘I know, but this is important,’ Rayvin answered. Mikael smiled at her and placed a kiss on the back of her hand. “Thank you for joining. We have some serious issues to discuss,” Alpha Brutus started the meeting. “But before that I would like to congratulate Alpha Mikael, who have found his luna, and welcome Luna Rayvin to our circle,” he continued. There was a moment of enthusiastic congratulations from the participants.“Thank you. I have been v

“I can’t believe it,” Diana told them and turned her phone around so they all could see it. ‘3 APRIL 5 PM LAKEWOOD APT 205’ was written on the screen. “You are a genius, sweetie,” Mikael said, placing a kiss on Rayvin’s temple. “That’s five days from now,” Ben pointed out. “It is, and that is an address in the city, in the worst part of town,” Diana said. “Thank you for your help, Laika.” Rayvin said.“My pleasure, Luna,” Laika said and took the hint and packed up and left. “What do we do now?” Rayvin asked. “We are assuming this is a meeting with the drug dealers?” Mikael asked.“I think that is a fair assumption,” Rayvin agreed. “We should go. It’s the best way to see who we are dealing with,” Ben said. “I agree,” Diana told them.“I do too, but what do we do when they arrive?” Rayvin asked. “If we kidnap them without knowing who they are, it may get the human authorities’ attention. We have been lucky with Liam. No one seems to be looking for him, but if people start going
Scales of the wolf 39, Relatives
Mikael loved how easily Rayvin had fitted back into his life and into the pack. It had helped that the pack never had believed the accusations against her and that they had been longing for a luna. Mikael had never been happier. Even now, as he was sitting in his office trying to focus on pack matters, he loved the way he could feel Rayvin’s emotions as subtle wisps in the back of his mind. Rayvin and Diana were training Laika and Hanna for the upcoming mission. Mikael could feel Rayvin’s excitement as she trained them, the pride and satisfaction when the warriors did well. He looked at the clock and found that it was almost time for lunch. That meant he would get to see her soon. ‘I’m heading down for lunch. Meet me outside the dining hall?’ he mind linked her.‘Sure, we have just finished. I’ll see you in five minutes,’ she replied. Mikael happily locked his computer and put away the papers he had been working with. As he headed out of his office, he felt Rayvin’s fear spike and pu
Scales of the wolf 40, Sound decisions
Diana mind linked him five minutes later that she was outside, and he asked her to come up. Rayvin tried to get out of his lap, but Mikael didn’t let her. “Just stay put, Ray,” he said. “But Diana,” she objected. “I don’t mind,” Diana said as she walked into the room and took a seat on the coffee table. “That bad?” Mikael asked.“I’m sorry Alpha, this should never have happened. The Luna was left exposed, and that is not acceptable. I am the one responsible for the security of the pack and I take full responsibility for what has happened,” Diana told them.“Diana, this is taking it too far,” Rayvin said. “Can we start with how it happened and then we will figure out if and what needs to be addressed?” “I agree. Have you found out how they could come onto the pack land?” Mikael asked.“I have, Alpha,” Diana said. There was a pause where she looked uncomfortable and then she looked at Mikael and he got the feeling this would be bad. “When they arrived at the gate, they sad they we
Scales of the wolf 41, Peaceful arrest
After showering and grabbing some snacks, Rayvin and Mikael walked into his office in the house and sat down to talk. Rayvin looked at Mikael. He looked better than he had done before their tumble in the kitchen. “What are the options?” she asked him.“To kill him.” The answer came quick and with no emotion. Mikael tossed a hand full of peanuts into his mouth and, to most people, he seemed unfazed. But Rayvin knew better. Despite his father ignoring him most of his life, and then trying to mould him into a replica of himself, never listening to Mikael and running Rayvin from the pack, Mikael loved his father. She knew he would kill him, but she also knew it would hurt Mikael to do so. “Yes, that’s one option. What are the others?” she asked.“A year ago, I might have considered turning him rogue. But that time is over, and he would cause too many issues if left to roam freely,” he said in a dark voice. “Okay. I know we don’t do the whole rogue thing. But we are setting up the islan
Scales of the wolf 42, Pack life
Mikael held Rayvin’s hand in a tight grip as they walked into the dining hall. He knew what he needed to do, but he didn’t like it. Again, his father had caused unrest in the pack and again Mikael would have to clean the mess up and drag his family’s dirty laundry out in the open. To say he was ashamed to call the former Alpha his father was an understatement. ‘It will be alright,’ Rayvin mind linked him and stepped closer to him. He looked at her and smiled. She was right. He had handled it the first time around. He had been alone then, only relying on Ben and his own vision of how he wanted the pack to work. Now he had Rayvin by his side and he still had Ben and Diana, and the pack was in a much better place. They would get through this. He led Rayvin to the spot in front of the main table and the rest of the dining hall fell silent as they looked at their alpha couple. Mikael took a deep breath.“I have some troubling news. By now, most of you know what happened at lunch today. Ra
Scales of the wolf 43, Trialled
Rayvin needed to take Luna Bella’s advice and call the boutique she had given Rayvin the number to. According to Bella, it was a lifesaver when it came to everything style related. But Rayvin had been putting it off, prioritising other things. That is why she now faced her wardrobe and realised she only had the dress she wore to the funeral and two tank tops that were white. Being a wolf, you avoided white as it was so strongly associated with being a Luna. Mikael walked into the closet while trying to get his cufflinks on.“Ray, can you help me?” he asked without looking up.“Sure,” she told him and took over the task. She didn’t need to see his face to know he was now looking at her. She could feel his eyes moving over her body, which was only dressed in undergarments. “You know I love this look on you, sweetie. But I don’t think I can let you wear it to the trial,” he told her as he placed the hand she wasn’t working on, on her hip.“I know, I just realised how unprepared I am as
