تسجيل الدخولEvie's povThe room went quiet for a bit until Gavin cleared his throat. "Maybe leave the lovey dovey stuff for when there isn't anyone else in the room."I glared at Gavin but decided to not feed the conversation anymore. Thankfully, the council men started speaking, which drew our attention away from the big elephant in the room."Your former Beta is to be taken into custody however, we cannot take the two bodies of the former leaders with us. They need a burial,"Ryan nods. "And as for Margaret?""We already know who murdered her and that someone has escaped, no?" The council man asked, his eyes darting between Ryan and me in question.I nod. "She drove off a cliff with Hannah. Crashed into the ocean down below. I don't think they would survive that."The man nods. "Then that settles it," he return his gaze back to Ryan. " You will also bury Margaret's body and we will send a few of our warriors to scope the area where Kimberly and Hannah had gone over," he finished. "If there are
Evie's povMy wolf picked up her pace when we drew close to the infirmary. From here, I could hear the chaos, the whispers and the chatter.Alex is just beside me, so close that I can feel the warmth of his fur brushing up against mine. I don't pull away from him. I couldn't.Not when for some reason, after everything that was happening tonight, I felt....safe beside him.'They must've drank the silver because their pride wouldn't allow them to be brought in chains,' Serena huffed.I didn't feel much pity for the former Luna or alpha after everything they've done to me when I was here.The doors to the infirmary were wide open as the warriors gathered outside in a tense circle, their voices overlapping in confusion and alarm. The moment they noticed us, they stepped back quickly and lower their heads.I slowed my pace and so does Ryan. Shifting into my human form, Ryan does the same too and started walking forward, his massive form parting the crowd. I followed right behind him to the
Stephie's pov"Are you sure this won't be traced back to me?" Arielle asked with fear swirling in her voice. I looked at her in frustration and grabbed the small bottles from her hands."Just give me the damn thing and be on your way," I snapped at her. Her eyes were filled with panic as they flickered down to the bottles now in my grasp.The bottles were filled with silver poison, meant to kill any wolf in minutes once ingested."Former Luna Stephie," Arielle whispered, taking a step back as she shook her head in disapproval. "If anyone finds out I helped you-"Her voice was beginning to irritate me. "No one is going to find out," I cut in sharply, glaring at her. If she keeps yapping, then someone will find out. She talks too much."You did your part Arielle," I nod at her thankfully. "Now you can leave,"Her eyes still swam of panic and seemed unsure. "Are you sure you're not going to ingest it? It's not meant to be ingested."I refrain from rolling my eyes. For a pack doctor she w
Evie's povRyan kicked the leader of the rogues' limp body forward. The action caused him to fall a few feet away from his pack."I'd suggest you pick him up and leave." Ryan sneered under his breath.Two of the rogues rushed forward and grabbed their leader quickly...almost carefully, like they were afraid even touching him wrong would somehow set Ryan off again.Their movements were nothing like the cocky predators they had been just minutes ago. They were humiliated on their own turf.One of them dared a glance up at Ryan, his eyes filled with something close to fear but tried to hide it away quickly. But we've already seen it. "We will walk away but you two have an hour to leave our territory."A threat that held no weight. Especially when their leader was down.Ryan didn't even look impressed. He just took a step forward and growled out. "You don't get to give us terms."The rogue who had spoken swallowed hard and looked away quickly at the others for help. But they only shook th
Evie's pov" Touch her and you're all dead," Ryan says tightly but his voice is so calm despite the rigidness of his form. The laughter from the rogues got even louder, more mocking and more taunting. The leader's eyes locked onto Ryan again and this time there was no amusement left in the depths, only challenge and mockery. " Or maybe we should kill you first and then take your girl," he murmured, rolling his shoulders slowly as if loosening himself up. "It's been a while since I've fought an alpha."I wanted to correct him and say I am not Ryan's girl but I bit my tongue when Ryan came to stand before me once more, blocking me fully now. Serena stirred but not in that angry way, no, she was liking this protective side of him while it irritated me. " I don't need protecting," I sneered under my breath and the rogues snickered. But Ryan's next words made me freeze. " I will protect the mother of my child Evie," He growls, stepping even more protective in front of me. My breath ge
Evie's pov I stepped back from the edge and shifted, my bones cracking and reforming until I stood in my human form again. The wind bit against my bare skin instantly and it carried the salt of the ocean lightly on my skin as the waves hit the huge rocks. Behind me, I heard the same ripple of movement as Ryan shifted back into his human form too. The sound of his bones snapping into place echoed softly behind me and followed by a sharp inhale. He stepped up beside me, close, way too close but for once I didn't snap at him to move away.'His scent,' Serena purred and I rolled my eyes. Of course, she was purring when we had other important stuff to worry about. Like Hannah and Kimberly and if they were still alive. ' Stop it Serena,' I whisper but stiffen when Ryan's arm brushes against mine, which causes the little hairs on my arm to rise. I jerked my arm away slight but it was more out of reflex than anything else. My jaw clenches in frustration.Focus. We need to focus Evie. I rem
Ryan's povThe second I burst through the doors, I noticed nothing was amiss. Father is sleeping away in the bed and judging by the beeping of the monitor, he is very much alive.I whip around angrily to face the wolf who had rushed to find me earlier. She's wringing her hands together nervously an
Ryan's povThe air leaves my lungs in a violent exhale and for a moment, I don't think I heard him correctly. Then my wolf does. And something inside me snaps." You will not fucking touch her," I say, voice low and lethal, shaking with barely contained rage. "You touch her," I growl, my voice no l
Evie's povIt's been a few days of training and I've gotten better. Alpha Gavin was a bit surprised when I told him I wanted to train to be a warrior. Seeing as it was rare for a woman to become one, I wasn't upset that he questioned me a lot about it.But after a few questioning, he agreed to it a
Evie's pov* 3 years later *One. Two. Three. I counted the pancakes in my head as I set them on the plate. I open a drawer and pull out a knife, cutting them into smaller pieces. They had to be triangles, they had to be precise. Even the cherries had to be perfect and pretty.Everything had to be
