All that effort for nothing, no sign of my sweet Raven. The boys missed her, even though Oliver didn’t have her in his life for long I could see he missed her dearly. She was his saving grace, Price was just a pup but Oliver was more aware of what was happening. Here I am, sat with the young wolf listening to another dream he’s had about his mummy, my Raven. “And before it went dark, mummy was put in a freezing cold bath but was still so hot it burnt me to touch her. Daddy? Daddy are you listening to me?”“It’s ok Oliver, don’t worry about these things you dream ok? I’m sure nothing like that is going on, you’re just missing mummy that’s all.”“But daddy it felt so real, she was there, right there with me!!” “Oliver, dreams always seem real. That’s what makes them so exciting when you have a good one and so worrying when you have a bad one. I promise you it’s just a bad dream, ok? Now let’s go have some breakfast and get little Prince up.” He’d been having these dreams since Raven f
I woke up groggy, I lifted my hand to my face and realised it was wet. Peeling my heavy eyelids open i looked down and realised i was in a cold bath. How had i gotten here? then the pain hit, the unbareable heat washing over me in waves and i found myself wishing the bath was colder or filled with ice. "ZACH!" I called out hoping he could fill in my blank mind and help me with the pain. I looked around and realised the door was closed with the key on the floor. How odd, had i locked myself in here? why? "Raven, its ok. But i can't come in, you're in heat." Zach's mufled voice broke through the pain. "How did this happen? Why am i in here?" My fuzzy brain couldn't put anything together through the pain. Nothing made sense to me at the moment."I had to cool you down and lock my wolf away from you. You were brought back to the room passed out and in heat. I think they were hoping i'd be unable to resist and mark you. But i couldn't do that to you so i had to serperate us and i knew i
It was at the moment his adoptive mother marked her fated that little Oliver passed out in the passenger seat of his adoptive dads truck as their convoy made their way to the Red Wood pack he originally came from, the same as his mother."Oliver!" Dylan was panicked but couldn't stop the car, he knew he had to get to the other pack as soon as he could.Back with Raven and Zach, he paced the room, a passed out mate on the bed. As soon as she was marked she fell to the floor with eyes wide open and glowing silver. He had placed her on the bed to ensure she wasn't hurt but all he could feel through the bond was an all consuming peace so he knew subconsciously that she was ok but looking at her in this way still worried him.Deep in the depths of her mind Raven was at peace and yet couldn't bring herself back to the present. She was enveloped in a buzzing sense of self, she realised her mother wasn't lying. As soon as she was marked by her fated mate she was engulfed by memories of her anc
"It's been three hours!" I roared, impatience knawing at every cell of my being. I wanted answers, i wanted to know what was going on with my little Oliver. He passed out on the drive and as i pulled up he started convulsing. What the hell could be wrong? He was regularly checked up at the hospital, we even checked his blood for any markers for illness's that could run in his birth family and nothing jumped out.Surely it can't just be a coincidence that he starts having dreams to do with a gift we didn't know he had and then this happens to him? Mybe he's stuck in one of those dreams? This thought setting my mind alight i rushed through the waiting doors to inform the doctor of my suspicions. "Sir, you can't..." i didn't let the nurse finish as i pushed him out of my way. I'm an alpha, nobody will tell me to stay away from my son when i think i may know whats wrong.Maybe this was a mistake, seeing the doctor and a nurse rush around Oliver who is hooked up to a million machines beepi
"Are you ok?" Zach's voice was filled with worry and i couldn't imagine what i'd just put him through. You mark someone and she just collapses, talk about a panic."Yes i'm, i'm ok... my mum was right." Stupidity seemed to plague my mind as i tried to process what happened."She was right? How do you know?""I felt it, and i saw it... the memories of all the past healers filled my head when we marked each other, i couldn't get away from it, it just happened." I still felt completely shocked by everything i was shown. "She was telling the truth, i would have died if we hadn't done this. And as the memories showed it would have been well before my time and just an awful way to die.""Well as much as i wished this wouldn't be the way or the reason we marked each other i am glad you'll be ok." His voice was so sad, the bond wanted me to take the pain away, tell him we could work and move on together but my love for Dylan stayed present and i knew i couldn't promise that."I'm sorry we had
I slowly trudged through my normal morning routine, dreading the next part of my day... School... it was probably the worst thing I've ever had to go to. Maybe I could just skip today; I thought as I looked in the mirror. I think this every morning but as always I knew someone would catch me, they always did. The same empty and lifeless green eyes stared back at me as I looked in the mirror. My wavy hair stretched down slightly past my shoulders like it always had. My baby fat still hadn't decided to leave my body yet, even though I was already in year 12. As a werewolf baby fat was very rare so I stood out like a sore thumb! The same hate filled thoughts crossed my mind as I thought about how much I loathed the person that I was looking at. I sighed grabbing my bag, and slowly walked outside. The halls of my school were crowded, but as usual I felt isolated. I was an outcast because I was made fun of by him. The one guy that everybody followed, be
'BEEP BEEP BEEP' My alarm woke me from my sleep to another day in hell. I quickly showered, got dressed and grabbed my bag. Off I headed in the direction knowing I'd have to put up with more sneers and snide comments from my mate. The day went by as usual, but when it came to lunch I went to sit under my usual tree, avoiding everyone in the halls and lunch room. It was peaceful out here. well that is until I heard him, Zach. Laughing his head off as he made his way over to me. "Hey piggy." His cold voice sliced at my heart yet again. "Why are you out here all alone? Scared of the big bad wolves?" He laughed at himself as if he was the best comedian in the world."Just go away Zach, I don't care what you think of me, just leave me alone." I sighed to myself, proud that I didn't stutter.He looked pissed when I glanced up at him, "who gave you the right to talk to me like that? You're a no good, fat bitch and nobody wants you here." He growled.
"Um..." I awkwardly looked down at myself, "Do you have clothes?""Of course," I followed him into the largest house in the small village. He called his mother who came down setting clothes out for me. She smiled, but her eyes held a mournful look. I felt bad for her, even though I was rejected, she lost the one she loved. She lost her actual mate, the one that accepted her. I couldn't help myself from pulling her into a hug, "I'm sorry to hear of your loss."She returned my embrace and sniffed, "thank you my dear," she pulled back, "now lets get you dressed." I blushed as i noticed i'd hugged her to my naked body.Quickly changing in the bathroom Dylan showed me, I came downstairs to be greeted by three boys who I could tell were the wolves from before.They were now dressed too, including Dylan. They introduced themselves as Jace, Ash, and Ethan. They were all good looking, but that only lead me to think about Zach. Tears welled up in my eyes fo
