Chapter Twenty Three
RIVER
Anna didn't speak to me all day Friday. I felt like an ass all day watching her avoid me like the plague.
I know what I said was wrong, but she was over reacting. Cassidy was asking a training question. She may have been flirting, but I certainly didn't notice. Even if I wasn't with Anna, she's not my type.
I just hope I can fix this.
Saturday morning, I pull into her driveway. I'm praying to all the gods that this conversation goes the way I want.
I knock on the door and am unprepared for who answers.
Michael is standing in the doorway with his hands in his pockets, smirking. "What do you want?" He says in a cocky tone.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I squint my eyes at him.
"Consoling a friend whose heart was broken by your dumb ass." He crossed his arms.
I sigh. "Can I talk to her please?"
"I don't think it's a

RIVERThe room is heavy with concern. There's a feeling if dread, fear and anger in the air.Alphas, betas, all the way down to Gamma packed the conference room. I found Zeke and Blade at the back leaning against the wall.They both nod. I lean with them facing the front where higher ups from Falcon Ridge and Caledon stood waiting for everyone.Once satisfied that everyone was here, they started the briefing.Alpha Eric read the intelligence report. "At 0900 this morning a group of unknown assailants, armed with silver bullets and explosives, attacked the prison building of the Falcon Ridge security unit. It's unclear at this time how they managed to bypass security measures. During the attack, 10 guards and 15 ranking members were injured. One guard was killed.The motive for the attack was to release Cole Karver. He is, as of now, the only escapee at large.We b

ANNA Monday morning, we're not at the training field. Some of us have been sent to a conference room. I walk in and see River, Blade, Zeke and Stevens up front. There's a long table down the middle of the room with border agents dotting the chairs. I look around the room and see Michael. Instinctively, I head over and sink into a chair beside him. "Hey." He says watching me sit. "Hi. I guess you know what this is about?: I lean on the table. He nods. His face dark and concerned. "Karver." "Yep." I nod. "We're gonna put him down this time. No more games." He cracks a smile. "Damn right." He offers a fist bump and I return it. Stevens clears his throat. "Okay. Good morning." He looks around the room. He continues. "You're here because you've been selected as the best agents an

RIVERI slowly walk into the barracks where Anna is.I have no idea what I'm going to do. She was crazed. Attacked Cassidy like it was her mission. Cassidy will heal, but it was brutal. Her face was all puffed, nose broken, blood everywhere. I'm pretty sure, if me and Blade weren't there, Anna would've released her wolf.I can't let this go either. The whole training field had front row seats. This is my job. My duty to make sure the rules are enforced. I don't want to do this. I don't want to punish her for what she did, but I have to.I walk into the bunk house. I have my head hanging and my hands behind my back. My boots making thud noises as I walk in. They almost echo in the quiet of the building. I lift my head and glance at Anna whose sitting on her bunk with her arms on her knees. Her eyes catch mine. She looks scared.I t

ANNA I've been given a few days rest to recover from my punishment. I stand in front of the mirror in the shower room, twisting around to look at the scars on my back. Tears pick my eyes. Although, I can't believe River would actually do this to me, I can't blame him for it. It's his job and I fucked up. I shouldn't have lost it on Cassidy. I should've just walked away. But, wolves like mine never back down. They love a good fight and Cassidy gave her one. I finish getting cleaned up and decide to rest at the field. I'm not cleared for duty but I'm allowed to go outside. Monday I start my kitchen duty along with training. I park myself under a tree and watch the session. I don't see River anywhere. Blade comes up and sits beside me. "Hey, pretty lady." He smiles. I pull up a blade of grass. "Hey." I smile back. He fixes his ponytai

RIVER "FUCK!" I scream out in my room. Throwing whatever was close by. Seeing Anna had my wolf and me losing our shit. I couldn't do it. I couldn't talk to her. My guilt was too strong. My pain was so near the surface, she'd see it in an instance. And I didn't want her too. I wanted to just walk away. Spare her from the feelings of blaming me for hurting her. When she begged to talk me, I stood my ground. I said I wasn't going to let her forgive me and I meant it. I broke my promise to her and to David. I promised to never hurt her. Never allow her to get hurt. To protect her at all costs. But she did get hurt. By my fucking hands. I grabbed a lamp, screamed out a growl and threw it against the wall. It smashed into pieces and they fell to the floor. I guess my dad heard it and rushed in. My room was trash

ANNA "Riker! Hurry up with those dishes!" The angry head of the kitchen slams more dishes on the counter as I wash the ones in the sink. I've been on auto pilot for 3 days. My kitchen duty started on Monday. I'll spend the next month, washing dishes in the mornings and joining training in the afternoons. Though I'm grateful for the distraction, it's really not doing much. My thoughts are constantly about River. How he hates me. How I humiliated him. How I forced him to deal the harsh punishment I received. And I deserved every lash. I knew better. I should have controlled myself. Lesson learned, but it was too late. I lost River. An Alpha like him, can't have this kind of embarrassment. My behavior isn't expectant of a Luna and I'm sure that's what River is thinking. I'm positive that's why he ended it. I'm worthless to him now. I've embarrassed h

RIVERI've been pulling my hair out this week. Lashing out, snapping at everyone. My wolf, and myself, are so angry. All the time. I just want to kill things.I find myself not the same trainer as I was before in training. I'm short with the recruits, resentful, demeaning. Picking on weaker wolves to take my frustrations on. I can't get my head straight."Davis!" I yell. I march over to the tall kid who's been taking a beating all morning during spar practice. "What the fuck? Get your lazy ass up and fucking get to work!" I grab him by the shirt and lift him off the ground."Sir..yes..sir.." He struggles in my grip to stand and clearly scared.I can feel the other recruits eyes on me. I point to Davis. "This isn't a game. Quit fucking around.""Yes, sir." He stands wide eyed at my outburst.Zeke must have seen the di

ANNAIt's been a full two weeks since I've had any contact with River. I don't even look his way anymore.My kitchen duty has been a distraction, like I said, but Michael, he's the best.He's been extremely attentive to my needs. Given me space when I need it. Consoling me when it gets too much. He's not pressuring me either. He's just here. By my side, taking what I throw at him with compassion and understanding.Truthfully, I needed it. Someone to just listen. To understand what I'm feeling. On some level, I feel Michael gets me more then most people. I feel a strong connection between us. Like he could guide me though any storm and protect me better then anyone ever could.I don't want to delve too much into it though. I'm not ready to go all in. But just being with him has made this whole thing so much easier.Tha
