Hunter-
“What can you tell me?” I asked the rogue.
“I… Well…” The rogue started.
Maybe he was no different from all the other rogues. It was clear he couldn’t form a proper sentence. This was useless. He was a rogue after all, I could just leave him in here and no one would care. After a month of being without a pack, one becomes a rogue, and their humanity ceases to exist. Their wolf takes over and they become unruly, wild.
I don’t know what made me think he was any different. Okay maybe the thought of Kyra did, but still she was special. There was nothing special about this rogue. He was simply a rouge. Looked like one. Smelled like one. Maybe I could use him as bait or something on the other rogues. I still didn’t understand why they surrounded us, but now I have one. I could use him to get to the others.
“I want to join your pack.” The rogue stated just as I was about to turn to leave. I stopped and was a bit shocked he actually formed a s
Hunter- I found myself coming to a dead stop as soon as I discovered Kyra leaning against the bars, talking to the rogue. “I don’t understand, how am I supposed to lead you?” Kyra was asking. “Truthfully, I don’t understand it myself, but I have this feeling that I need to be here with you. I have been a rogue since I was six, I kept my humanity until I was about eight, when my parents died. We had formed our own little pack sort of. Then I was on my own.” Brett was telling her, as Kyra listened to him keenly. “By all accounts, I shouldn’t be here. My wolf had taken over completely. To be honest, I don’t know how I am here. I just woke up one night, about six months ago and Selene came to me and told me I needed to make my way here, to Montana. I didn’t ask questions, I did as she requested, and last week I smelled your blood. It was so strong.” He continued. “What did Selene tell you, exactly?” Kyra interrupted, her gaze flickered to me brief
Kyra- Needless to say, I really should be used to learning I am more of a freak than I thought. I mean learning that apparently, rogues can revert to their old selves after losing their wolf was beyond something I could grasp. In just one week I have discovered more than I ever thought possible. My questions are starting to pile up though. Still, I couldn’t connect with Alexia, and I was starting to get concerned. I didn’t know how, but I needed to find a way to talk with the Moon Goddess. Everything was just so confusing. There was so much I didn’t know but needed to know and the things I have been learning didn’t add up and left me with more unanswered questions. Maybe I was just becoming overly impatient. Not that I really cared, it has been nearly eighteen years and I didn’t know who I was anymore. I wanted to know more about Brett, but that also left me with another question. Have I been wrong about the rogues I have come across in my past? I didn’t thin
Kyra- Between the pizza and Hunter, it was nearly impossible to focus on the movie. Not like the movie was bad or anything, but I didn’t understand any of the things Hunter kept laughing at. What was so funny about people doing stupid stuff? To top it all off, Hunter’s laughter was intoxicating. Probably the only reason I didn’t tell him I wasn’t very interested in a show I didn’t understand. Was it me? Did my up bring cause me to not be able to laugh at things like this? Granted I did laugh, though it was usually when I was around others that I found amusing or when I was having fun. Laughing at a screen though, I couldn’t comprehend. Viewing Hunter as he watched the movie, was enjoyable enough. I didn’t realize until now how full of life he was. Why had I pushed so hard to keep him at a distance? I had accepted Lucy almost instantly. I befriended Mel in a sort, just as fast. Even Caleb I didn’t mind. Everyone I had interacted with, I gave them in a sense, a
Hunter- Hesitating briefly, I watched the rogue carefully, my gaze shifting to the Rogues that still remained. I wondered if this was all that was left or not, I would have Caleb look into it. If this was all that was left, then keeping them at bay wouldn’t be an issue. For now, I did need to know what was going on. I knew I needed to shift in order to speak with him, but I didn’t trust them. “Caleb, do not shift.” I ordered my Beta, just as I shifted, to face the rogue. “Speak.” I instructed, keeping Ace accessible. “We no harm.” The rogue spoke. “What business do you have with my pack?” I demanded, as I also felt a growl vibrate my chest. “We protect the girl.” He insisted. I had a feeling that there was a correlation between them and Brett, but this time I didn’t feel too keenly about accepting them into my pack. One rogue was going to be troublesome enough until we found out more. Too many would cause chaos. I was all about
Kyra- Spending a couple of hours in the library, I was beginning to lose hope, was there really such thing as a Champion? If it really was an archaic tradition, how much of what Caleb said was accurate? Looking through the stack of books I had pulled from the shelves, I paused on one that read ‘Myths or Legends?’. I wasn’t sure if the book would tell me much, but for some reason, I was drawn to it. Picking it up, I started flipping through the book and landed on a page that explained the myths and legends of Champions. I started reading, finding that Caleb had been truthful, but there was so much more information. I was glad to see that when a Champion pledges themselves, that if the one they serve dies, they die, was just a myth. Theoretically, if I agreed, I would be able to link with him, almost as if we were in the same pack. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, I had never linked with anyone other than Alexia. The only downfall to having a
Hunter- When the meeting had concluded, I felt better about the situation. Now that everyone knew what was going on, it was as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Just as I had expected, everyone had been shocked and many had questions, but everyone seemed to be in agreement to protect Kyra. Caleb had informed me that he has kept Brett with him at all times and didn’t see a reason to keep watching him. Apparently, Brett was turning out to be very good with kids, rather helpful, and even a decent fighter. Caleb had no real concerns pertaining to Brett. I told Caleb to keep on him, at least for a couple more days so we could be sure. I had looked forward to seeing Kyra, though Lucy had informed me that she had gone out. With that, I took my supper into my office and spent most of the evening there. Looking at my clock, I realized that it was getting late, it was nearly ten at night. Calling it a night, I headed out of the office, to go find Kyra.&nbs
Kyra- “Come on Kyra, you have to focus, lets try again.” Hunter told me for what seemed like the hundredth time. It had been almost two weeks since Brett became my Champion, and our bond has gotten stronger. He has become probably my closest friend. I have learned a lot through the bond and one being that I was feeling everything Brett felt physically. It made his training almost impossible because every time he was hit I felt the pain ten times over. Hunter and Caleb had said that it shouldn’t be like that, I should only feel it mildly and not enough to cause me to fall to my knees in excruciating pain. It had taken a couple of days, but we learned that he was drawing too much of my energy. Currently, Hunter, Brett, Caleb, and I were trying to get me to put up a mental block. It was similar to being able to block out a mind link, but since I never did that, this was all new territory for me. Even my thoughts are completely exposed to Brett, and I rea
Hunter- “Now open your mind, let Brett in through the link.” I told Kyra. “Now, visualize a glass wall between your mind and his.” I explained, as soon as she was linked, my voice raised so she can hear me over the link. I gave her a few minutes and repeated my words a couple of times, just in case she didn’t hear me the first time. “Now visualize the glass becoming darker, slowly, until you can no longer see through it.” I explained. I watched her eyes, waiting for them to return to normal, signifying that it worked. I once again repeated myself a couple of times, just in case and after a few minutes passed, there was no change. I gave her more time, but after another few more minutes, I was just about to repeat the process when she came out of it and her eyes returned to normal. “It didn’t work.” Kyra said, her voice disheartened. “It is okay, we can try again, I may have another idea.” I told her, trying to hide my disappoin
