Raven POV  I can't express the immense hell I have been living this last week. It's been officially 2 weeks since my birthday and I haven't never regretted getting older more than I do now. I know I said that if Maximus did anything to me then I would tell Allistar and Dimitri, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before. Maximus finds me every night and a couple mornings where he just beats the living shit out of me. I must look horrible when people see me for training. No doubt Allistar and Dimitri have noticed my change in appearance. I make sure to wear baggy shirts so the bruises on my chest and stomach aren't noticeable. The bruises and couple times my nose have been broken are definitely bad enough so I can't imagine how they would react if they saw the full damage being done to me. Every time Maximus beats me he alwasy tells me that he will stop if I just accept him as my mate. I would rather take these beatings every day f

Allistar POV  We are sitting in the small hospital they have here and the images of earlier keep swirling around in my head. I should've realized that Raven's wolf was asking for help and it wasn't just a weird dream. We should have reacted faster and checked on her sooner, then maybe she wouldn't be in this position right now. The pack doctor said he isn't sure how long she will be unconcious due to the extent of injuries she sustained. He noticed right off the bat that she had been injured with silver which is why she lost so much blood and wasn't healing. That sick son of a bitch did this to her and the Alpha doesn't seem to care. Dimitri took Maximus to the Alpha to inform him of what happened and what we had walked into, yet all the Alpha did was blame Raven. He said she puts herself in these positions and she should know how to behave properly so these things won't happen. Maximus got a slap on the wrist for the terrible thing

Allistar POV  Raven has been unconcious for a week now. It is getting to the point where the doctor is concerned she won't wake up or if she does wake up, there will be problems with either her body or her ability to connect to her wolf. We have all 3 been taking turns to make sure atleast one of us is here at all times. Maximus has tried to come visit her using the mate thing as a reason why. Thankfully the doctor is aware of what is going on, so he hasn't let him come see her. He is still trying to sneak into her room when the medical staff aren't around, which is what caused all of us to be concerned. We know Maximus has bad intentions towards her. He is either upset she didn't die or he will take advantage of her being unconcious to mark her without her permission. Since his first attempt to get into her room, we made absolute sure to never leave her alone. We won't even run to the bathroom without someone else here.I ha

Raven POV  The pack doctor has finally cleared me to leave after a few days. All my wounds have healed up with no side effects. He was worried with the amount of silver that had entered my body I wouldn't be able to contact my wolf anymore. Whenever I would try and contact my wolf all I would get is silence for the first couple days. I was worried I would never be able to speak to her again. She's a pain in my ass, but she's my wolf. Life would be incomplete without her. This morning I heard her for the first time. I cannot explain the amount of joy that went through me. As long as I have her by my side everything will be ok.Allistar and DImitri left Penelope and I at my house to pack up some things while they talk to the Alpha about taking me with them. When they first told me what they were going to say to him I was livid. Telling him they will make me a submissive she-wolf just set me off. I have never been submissive and

Allistar POV  Raven has been unconcious since we arrived at the Opal River pack yesterday. So far it has been 24 hours since we arrived and I can't believe we finally made it safely. No need to worry about Maximus or Heather showing up to try and kil her. We don't have to worry about the pack doctor here doing anything to her that might jeopardize her safety. She is finally safe.Penelope hasn't left her side since we arrived, which is expected. Dimitri and I have been in a couple times to check in on her, but otherwise have been fairly busy. We were able to find the girls a 3 bedroom house to share near the main packhouse so we have been getting that ready. It hasn't been lived in yet so getting beds set up in the rooms has been our main priority. Today we are focusing on getting the furniture for the living room and groceries for the kitchen. We want them to feel like this is home. The pack has been informed that we have ne
