SalemWhen I discovered I was pregnant, all I could think about was Madison. She would know what to do to help me get through this. I was certain she would.Jane and the male who saved my name—I didn't know—went to help a wolf that needed their help.I was alone, curled up in bed, wishing what was happening to me was just a nightmare. I pinched myself many times, wanting to wake up from the horrible nightmare I wanted to believe I was having, but I wasn't for what I was dealing with now.My head lifted from my knees as I heard someone enter the small building.It was him. The one who saved me. He was tall and looked as young as I was."Jane and I will help you deal with that thing inside of you," he told me.His voice sounds smooth and soft.I looked down at my swollen belly, which I thought was just from eating too much food, and a dislike feeling ran through me, hating what he said about the pup that was inside of me. As much as I didn't want to be a mother now, I didn't want anyone

Salem The night I didn't leave, though I was unsure whether this pack was fit for me, I still decided to stay. I was starting to feel connected to Arkane, though I didn't know his story. I stayed because of his visible deep scars and my understanding of how it feels to have someone you trust hurt you. Arkane knew how it felt to be hurt, based on what he told me last night. I feel it's better to dwell with someone who understands the pain of being hurt. The night I returned to the building I was to stay at, Arkane was still under the tree, watching over us. I wish Alpha Deucalion was somehow like him; probably life wouldn't have been so difficult for me and I wouldn't be pregnant by rape. If only the cruel alpha understood pain like Arkane and had scars to show it, he wouldn't be so cruel and merciless. "Everyone, come outside; breakfast is ready!" I heard a loud shout that awakened me. In a line, I and the she-wolves left our bed and went outside. A large, fat wild pig roasting

Salem's P.O.VAfter the unwelcome visit from a pack that I believed Alpha Deucalion had completely killed, Arkane had become very strict with everyone. He was upset that some of the men had chosen to join the new Alpha of the Grey Pack. Arkane felt betrayed. I understand and feel for him.For almost a month, I have been dwelling with Arkane and his new pack. I felt very at home here, dwelling among wolves who had a tough life. However, I felt I'd grown closer to Arkane. I guess I've never met a man who seemed to suffer as much as I did. Though I still didn't know the painful story of his life, Every time he takes off his sweaty shirt from training with his men, I couldn't help being curious about the deep scars. Tears would form in my eyes, knowing how painful it must have been for him when the one gave him those scars. I would know, for I have not one scar but many on my back leading to both sides from the lashes the cruel alpha, Alpha Deucalion, gave me and a word he wrote on my fore

Salem "Go with them," said Arkane, disappointed. "You're not a rogue; you don't belong within this pack."My heart felt like it was split into two by his words."Arkane no." I reached out to touch him, but he motioned himself away from me before I could.I was heartbroken. The one who understands pain and the pack I felt at home was being kicked out. I was not going to allow it to happen. I was not going to make Madison and the Alpha ruin my life with Arkane.Arkane began to walk away from me."I'm not going anywhere." Both hands tightened angrily.My heart beats fast as he slowly turns to face me."You have no choice, Rain," he said. "I'm the alpha of this pack, and those who are not rogues do not belong here."I looked at him tearfully and tried hard to control my tears."I trusted you, Rain, and believed you were one of us, but all along you were lying," Arkane said, upset.Tears came rolling from my eyes, and rain came pouring down. I couldn't fight the tears anymore, seeing Arkan

Salem P.O.VUpon discovering I was pregnant, Madison kept on crying.She tried to touch me, but I backed away from her before she could."I'm sorry that I foolishly chased you away," she apologized.I walked over to Arkane, not wanting anything to do with her."Rain!" Madison called.I looked at her."You can't keep that pup; we have to get rid of it before it's too late," she told me in tears.I was angry at her. I knew she would have wanted me to, but I discovered my pup would have the same abilities as me. I could never do such a thing.One hand ran over my grown belly, knowing I'd never be a lone member of The River Pack once my pup was born, and I was not going to allow Madison or Jane to prevent that."You should leave," I told her.Madison tried to approach me, but Arkane stood in front of me, blocking me away from her.She looked at me from his right side."Rain, please come home with me," she begged.My head turned away from her.She cried, and my head rose as I heard her leav
