The dinner took another hour before Conri stood up. I followed suit because I was suddenly his side kick. We went out of the dinning room to the elevator.“ If I can just see all the work you have done, not that I don’t trust you but just to see.” He said with me smiling and nodding my head.“No problem my king, I am happy to show you, maybe I made a few mistakes here and there, it’s good to get feedback.” I said with him nodding his head, happy with my reply. We went to his office which luckily I had left tidy. I pulled out all the files and was shocked when I was done, finding him still standing next to his chair. It made it all awkward, why wasn’t he taking a seat?I stood there with the files, eyes wide.“ You can take a seat Raven.” He suddenly said with a chuckle and I could not help but jump into action. I could not process when he was that nice, I could not process when he spilled out my name like that. It sounded so deliciously foreign from him and it was as if he was teasin
Pack members lay on the floor, on hospital beds, every where. In my arms was Rosemary, her cute little snore pouring from her. My eyes moved over to the young mother who had cried herself to sleep even with the baby in her arms. She had slept while breast feeding, some ladies in the pack taking the baby away to the glass baby bed which stood next to the bed. It had been so saddening to watch her ask for her mate, beg for her mate but he was not there. She had cried so hard, losing even the strength to push, especially because it was painful on its own that her mate was putting distance between them while making way to the war zone.After it all, they had done surgery on her to get the baby out. The doctor had never done it before but in the situation, there had been no other option.A shiver ran down my body just thinking about it.Another shiver ran through. The hospital seemed to be so cold especially at the wee hours of morning thus I could not stay there for long. My eyes moved ov
My head snapped up, sure Vex was a bit far. I took off running, not fast, I would give him the win. My smile grew, running through until I saw his lazy ass at the border. He had reached it first, shifted back and had pulled back his clothes.“ Its not fun when you let me win.” He said with me laughing out loud.“ What do you want from me Vex.” I cried out, throwing my hands in the air dramatically as we walked into no man’s land. It was just a small piece between the two packs.Just a few miles of walking we saw Sunfire. He was on border patrol. We greeted him and went further in the pack. As always, Stern greeted us with the two other pack leaders. He never missed an opportunity to have me do some work for him, it had me giggle. I went with him to the office, doing a bit of file work, but it was not a lot before he went with us to the alpha’s house which seemed dark and cold.Any little happiness I had felt just evaporated there and then. The house seemed to suck it out of me. The g
We reached the pack way past dinner but luckily for Vex, the ladies were still in the kitchen washing dishes thus they did not mind fixing him something or he would have slept on water. Just thinking about it happening nearly had me laugh. I shook my head, waving at the ladies as they waved at me. I watched them all walk out of the castle, leaving it lonely and cold. My feet carried me to the flying machine which took me upstairs. I stripped naked, soaking myself in the tub that the king and I had held each other in. I would never forget the day, the memory being one of my greatest treasures. I relaxed until the water turned cold so I slipped out. I cleaned the bathroom then oiled my skin in the closet. I pulled on long knee high socks, some sweat shorts and a sweater. The king said I was not ready so I had to be the next time he came. I knew my battle was internal so I did not know what I had to do to grow up mentally, to grow enough for the war that was heavy on us. I sat on the fl
It was an hour later when the pack arrived, Vex first then other warriors. I had healed the other six men with them unconscious but they would be okay. My head kept shaking, thinking over the last memories I had of Mr Tendril. I thought of what would be said to Rosemary, just like that, she had no one.The ten warriors of the pack carried the unconscious men to the pack hospital then came back to all carry Mr Tendril who was so cold there was no way he would come back to us. I had hope, hoping what had happened to Brum would happen to him but he stayed just like that. The silence was taken over by cries, everyone in grief because their hope had been shuttered. It was painful to lose a pack member especially with everything he had went through, especially with the beautiful daughter he left behind.The ladies just thought of their own relatives. Seeing how critical it was getting, everyone lost the little hope they had, just praying their mates or sons were alive. I swallowed, better m
We fought until the sun rose, blood coating every part of me. I looked left then right and there were no rogues in sight. My chest was pushing up and down, heaving with the rain having been pouring for hours. Blood ran through the ground, running down. I walked from body to body, staring down at those that I had paralyzed in nothing but pain. They screamed and cried, begging for mercy but why. I stared into all their faces, thinking I would find awful men with rotten teeth but they looked just like normal men; men that had children, men that had mates. There were boys, young beautiful boys, females too that were so beautiful you would be fooled. I could not take it, could not bare seeing how such people could be so vile. I took a breath, hours of suffering enough and when that breath was released the air fell silent.It was silence that was so deafening. After the hours of screaming and begging the silence was like a curse, a curse hanging over my head and I would take it.I felt feat
I wiped away my hands with a cloth a girl had been holding out to me. I smiled at her, my head down, wiping the blood with the screams having gone down in the hospital. I did not know what time it was but it was late.The alpha had gone away to help in the pack along with the luna while I stayed back. The three pack doctors were hoovering around me since all their patients were asleep and recovering. I could see their pale faces, they wanted to ask but afraid thus just clustering and watching me work.My thoughts kept going back to these vile rogues. We already had too much on our plate and they were not helping. What did they even want? It just pissed me off. I held out the towel with the girl taking it, bowing and quickly rushing away.“ Thank you.” I said before she was out of sight. She paused, turning to me to bow over and over again warming my heart.“ Please, take me to your alpha.” I said to the eldest doctor who looked to have been in the universe for centuries upon centuries
“ Hi.” I greeted, worried. He was pale. My hand lay on his cheek and he was hot. “ Are you okay, maybe you should go rest while I sit for this meeting.” I politely said, my voice low but they could all hear. His eyes snapped from the distance he was staring at then stared at me. I held his stare seeing him lost. What was happening to him? I was confused. My head turned. “ Can we have a room, I think my man is over worked, we also had an incident of ours before hearing about the attack here.” I said, also recalling how he had been sleeping on the cold floor guarding the castle and me. “ Of course. Alex, take the warrior here to a room where he can refresh and rest.” Alpha Moonseekers said, his second son standing up and rushing. “ Go rest, I will come by after.” I said to Vex, him nodding his head, turning and pushing off the wall. They walked out of the room, still staring at them until the door closed. My head shook, hoping he got better. It had been a couple of rough days and ni
