OwenMidday, and I had already taken care of everything I needed to do for the day. The animals were all fed, the eggs were collected from the chickens, and all the water troughs were full. All that was left was doing another feeding for the animals tonight. None of the vegetables in the garden would be ready to be picked until next week. So I decided to spend some time relaxing inside. I had no more than made a sandwich for lunch when the sound of something scratching on the door caught my attention. Curious, I made my way through the front room and opened the door. To my surprise, a large black wolf collapsed at my feet. I was frozen for a few seconds until I noticed blood pooling around the back end of the wolf. It wasn’t moving, but I could tell it was still alive. I knew the people in the area had a thing about shooting the wildlife in the area. Just another reason I hated people. I never saw any of the animals come up on my small farm and go after any of my animals. I had no rea
OwenI sat and watched her eat for a few minutes before returning to my food. She didn't seem happy that she had gotten hurt. Though, who wouldn't be happy they had gotten shot? But to be honest, I was surprised that only one bullet had made contact. For the most part, all the kids in the town were shown how to use a gun at a young age. If two of them had fired at her, I would have thought both would have hit her. This alone didn't really help my view of the human race. Even less knowing they shot at her wolf, who, from the sounds of it and by where she had been hit, was moving away from them and not towards them. Shaking my head, I finished my food. When I finished, I found her sitting across from me, staring at me just as I had stared at her earlier and watching me. "So tell me, Owen, where did you learn to stitch someone up?" Scoffing, I grabbed her plate and mine and got up from the table. "I was a doctor in another life." A small smile pulled at her lips. "Well, then, I did
AlisonI had been wrong earlier, thinking I was close to the pack my parents once belonged to. I was too far away from them. Or at least I couldn't hear them, nor them me, as far as I could tell. And if my gut was right, those guys in the truck weren't just ordinary humans. When I was little, my father told me stories about humans that hunted our kind. Only going after lone wolves or rogues who they deemed were a danger to the human world. And well, I am sure even though I have served my time in their prison, not to mention the guy I killed was done in self-defense. I would qualify as a danger to them. Though I really didn't want to stick around and find out if I was right or wrong. My wolf and my gut agreed if I stuck around any longer, it would make for the second mistake I would have made in the last twenty-four hours. I was going to have to talk with Bryce or maybe Dominic and find out if I was right. Because if I was, I am sure I wasn't going to make it on my own. Nor did I want
AdamWe spent the day searching the woods, the whole time staying well under the radar of the hunters that were also in the woods. They were on the hunt for who they thought was just another rogue wolf. They didn't know she wasn't alone. At least not if I could help it. We had to find her first. And the longer it took to find her, the more I worried we would be too late. As it was, I had long lost the sensation of being injured. This made my wolf push harder, refusing to believe she was gone. Just the thought alone sent a pain through my chest that was nearly as bad as the day she rejected us. Then finally, there was news. The hunters were converging on one location. Following them, we made a perimeter around the whole location. Once my men were in place, I ordered them to close in. In doing so, we ensured the humans in the woods knew they were outnumbered and she wasn't alone as they thought. Nothing more was needed. The humans took the hint and got the hell out of dodge. Not before
AlisonMy head was pounding. Whatever they used to knock me out this time, and the last was strong. It left a lingering taste in my mouth and left my head pounding. Like last time I wasn't really given time for the effects to wear off. The difference was this time, I had Adem there. Also, this time he placed a metal device around my throat. My wolf whimpered at the feel of it. With it around our throat, we would not be able to even attempt to shift. In her words, if we did, it would kill us instantly. Mainly because it would never allow our neck to move how it needs to during a shift.So shifting was out. My guess was so I couldn't howl like I did the last time. That didn't stop me from trying to reach out to my parent's old pack, who I still had a connection with. Which is what I was trying to do while waiting for the effects of the drug to wear off and my head to stop hurting so much. The only thing was I was still not getting anything. I was still too far away, or maybe they decide
Alpha DamionWalking through the hotel, I followed the path Alison last took. The woman that works the desk was well worth the money I paid her to help keep an eye on my cousin. I knew placing any member of the pack or even paying a rogue wolf to help keep tabs on her would end with her going farther away than my reach. And I wouldn't blame her, after everything. At least this way ensured she would stay close, at least for now. I nearly had all the other alpha's in the area believing she was not really my uncle's daughter. Though her disappearance had me questioning if I was doing as good of a job as I thought I was. The lady at the front desk said Alison left yesterday morning and hadn't returned. Harlen, my Beta, finding her stashed clothes, let us know she had shifted to go for a run. Not exactly a bad thing. But rumors were coming in from some that there were hunters out in the woods a good hundred miles or so away to the south. This worried me as well, maybe more so because she
AdamAlison broke her camera almost instantly after I left her. Leaving me to watch the camera in the human's cell in order to listen to the two. The two of them spent a long time talking with each other. I was getting more information about the guy from eavesdropping than I was from my own men who were supposed to be getting me information about him. The longer the two talked, the easier it was to tell that Alison's wolf liked the human. This only angered my wolf more than he already was. The both of us were so angry and even a little hurt at our mate for seeming to have moved on and not even trying to give the two of us a chance that when Teresa sauntered into my office to make her now daily move to gain my attention, I didn't turn her away. Giving in to her advances, I took out some of my frustration on her. Using her like I always have. You would think the sound of my mate in pain would have brought me back to my senses, but it didn't. No, I ignored the sound of her in pain from
AlisonTalking with Owen was kind of relaxing, at the very least. The two of us enjoyed a good amount of the same things. Or I should say the things we were able to talk about before I was overcome by an intense, crippling pain. It started in my abdomen and moved through my whole body. I remembered hearing stories about things like this. The things that could happen if ever one mate betrayed them. But never once had I thought I would experience anything like it. I guess no one ever expects to experience something like that. You know the feeling of your mate with another person. I know I technically had rejected him and all that. But he never accepted my rejection. He had rejected my rejection, leaving the two of us connected. I will give it to him in this whole time. Since we had found each other, he hadn't been with anyone else. At least, not until today. I don't know what changed. All I do know is this was the worst feeling I had ever felt in my life. At first, it was more of a dul
