I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. Trees that touched the sky towered above me shielding me from the sun. I furrowed my brows and slowly stood to my feet before deciding to explore this unfamiliar locationI could hear voices in the distance but couldn't make out what they were saying or who it was. My head snapped to the left when I heard something snapping before feeling my eyes widen when I saw Zeus walking out of the trees. His dark eyes stared at me before tilting his head >I see you're awake"What happened?" I asked and he rolled his eyes with a shake of his head making his fur swing at the action>You went to speak with the SavageKing Alpha to warm him off the rogues attacking only to get denied. You were on your way back to the pack when you heard the rogues running towards the pack house and decided to play hero and fought them off. You were outnumbered and by the time help got there you were already losing too much blood due to
"How long are you going to sit there for?" I heard a voice behind me ask and I looked over to see Elijah, Uncle Gavin and Auntie Elle's eldest son standing in the doorway of the infirmary with a raised brow "Until he wakes up" I murmured. We had came by to see how Ryker was doing after he was transferred to his pack's infirmary a week ago and still there has been no signs of him making any progress. The doctor said that his injuries were healed but it was up to him to wake up and he didn't know when it'll be. "You think you got everybody fooled, don't you?" He asked making me furrow my brows as I looked at him and Elijah just smiled "Not me, I've known you too long (and regrettably too well)" he murmured making me glare at him"I don't love him. How can I after what he put me through? Or did you forget?""I didn't. But if you didn't love him then why are you here? Why do you insist on visiting him everyday and asking if he woke up?" He asked tilting his head to the side before a sm
"You know lying is a sin" Preston said making me look up at him with a raised brow and he rolled his eyes "I know you've slept with other people not just Lou" he stated but I shook my head "He was the only one I've slept with that I know of considering I was under a spell the entire time. I wouldn't be surprised if I had slept with other people without my knowledge" I said and he raised a brow"Aren't you angry? You were put under a spell by god knows how many people just because we're mates" he exclaimed"I am angry. I already sent an order for my trackers to find the witch that Lou had been seeing to get information and find out if other people have gone to them" I said as I leaned against my chair and he nodded "You're awfully calm about it which makes me wonder if you're truly angry" he murmured and I sighed pushing away from my desk before standing up and waking around it to crouch at his side making him look at me with worried eyes "Nothing would mean more to me than go out
"So are you and Ryker together now?" Benson asked as we walked down the corridors of Lakeview high on Monday. The sky was gray with dark clouds hovering in the sky. We're going to have a rain storm soon. "No. We're taking things slow. We still have a lot to work before we even think of getting together" I said as I opened my locker and switched out my Math textbook for my History textbook before closing it again"We want you to be sure about this, PJ. We don't want you to get hurt because of our brother" Luna murmured beside her twin and I gave them a small smile"I know. My siblings and Dad said the same thing last night as well. But I know what I'm doing. We both know we have a lot of work to do so we can move past this whole thing. Did he say anything about finding the witch that cast the spell on him?" I asked as we headed to class. Zaddie and Julianna were already seated in their seats in the back of the room so we walked towards them before taking a seat in front front of them
"How was your date with your mate....hey that rhymed" my third in command aka idiot of a best friend, Enzo, said as he walked beside me on my left side while Madison, my cousin and beta, took my right side. I rolled my eyes as they looked at me with raised brows waiting for me to tell them about my date with Preston but jokes on them, I'm not telling them jack squat."Has there been any sightings of rogues?" I asked instead of telling them anything making them groan"Oh c'mon Rye, can't you just tell us a little bit about it " Madison asked with a pleading look in her blue eyes that matched Enzo's but I kept walking making them speed walk to catch up "What I do on my spare time with my mate is none of your concern. Now, have there been more rogue sightings or not?" I asked turning towards them making them nearly crash at the sudden action"Ugh!" Madison exclaimed throwing her hands in the air in exasperation while Enzo pouted. You'd think that they'd act mature being 22 and 21 but th
"What are you doing up here?" Benson asked with a raised brow as his eyes took in my appearance making me furrow my brows"Uh.....homework?" I answered though it was more of a question making him blink before his eyes locked into the clock on the nightstand and mine follows his before they nearly fell out, "Shit, shit" I cursed jumping out of the bed nearly eating shit had I not caught myself in time. It was almost 6 and that meant Ryker would be coming up to get me soon. Fuck me. "You legit have 30 minuets to get ready" my friend said as if I didn't notice"Can you get Luna to come up here and help me pick out an outfit while I shower?" I asked while walking to the bathroom connected to the guest bedroom"I can pick it out for you" he offered and I gave him a deadpanned expression"You suck as picking out outfits for other people Ben, so please get Luna" I didn't wait for him to reply but I could hear him mumbling and whining on the other side of the door before it was drowned out
"Ryker" Preston gasped as he took in the clearing. I had a couple of pack members decorate it. There were fairy lights hung on trees. Smack in the center was a table for two with tiki lamps around lighting the area. Beside the table was a cart with trays of food and a cooler that held the drinks. Since Preston was under age still, I had them pack sodas instead of alcohol. "How did you do all this in such a short time?" He asked turning to face me and I smiled "I had help from a couple pack members. Do you like it?" I asked while looking at the clearing. Flowers had long gone died due to the winter weather and the trees had gone bare. The air smelt fresh and clean. Snow was coming soon. "No" I blinked shaking my head at his reply making my heart sink only to sigh in relief when he added, "I love it. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you" "You don't need to thank me, Preston. You deserve the world not just this simple dinner under the stars" I said and he s
I woke up to the sound of my Dad's heartbreaking howl and I felt tears sting my eyes. I climbed out of bed as more howls and whines filled the air and looked out the window to see Papa's wolf dash into the trees. Today, 17 years ago, mama passed away and every year on this day, Papa went to the cemetery to talk to him. I felt tears roll down my face as the pain filled howls broke through the night sky. Today was going to be a long day for everyone. The moon was slowly beginning to go down with the sun rising in the horizon. No need to go back to bed when I'll have to be up again in a couple hours anyway. Walking over to my desk, I picked up the picture frame that rested there. I was 8 months old when it was taken. Mama and Papa were both smiling down at me as my hand wrapped around Mama's pinky. My siblings were crowding around the bed with Julianna being in Papa's lap. "17 years have come and gone in a blink of an eye and I wish I knew you before you went away. I wish you were here
