The day moved on and I was panicking yet I knew I was not the only one. Logan was gripping my hand as if it was his life line. I did not mind because it kept me sane. I could not leave him alone there. It was scary, lonely and cold. I stared from him to the window trying to think but I had to go back to the pack. I had to look over the pack too. I knew taking with him was not an option, the man seemed glued to his room. I sighed. If only I could split myself in half. And seeing that I spent the whole day there, I knew I would not come back the next day or even the next after. The war could break anytime and I could be seeing Logan for the last time. I shook my head, not wanting to think like that but it was a possibility. I bit my lip, thinking over it. When I had been saving Logan, I had felt as if I had been giving him a part of me which meant I could piece away parts of me. What if I could do that again, thus being in two places at one. It was crazy that I was even thinking ab
The next days were spent in the king’s office, buried in paperwork, planning, strategizing and keeping the pack afloat. Alphas walked in and out, meetings back to back. My spot was on the floor but that only lasted for a day. I had went to take a leak, coming back to find a huge desk and chair at the other end of the king’s office, the desks staring at each other. We practically spent every hour together but apart except for when he went to train or observe training. Brum was no where to be seen. He came to train and beat up all the warriors, calling them useless then walked away into the forest never to be seen until he wanted to beat more people up. Thinking about him just had my brain ache, not even knowing how to go about talking to him. But maybe he needed his time alone so we let him be thus tripling our work. We literally did not have a gamma nor a beta but we were doing well considering the circumstances. Forget sleep, we were just running on fumes but even with all that,
It took half an hour for me to stabilize, to get my mind in order. I quickly wrote the letter to all the packs for them to get ready for the evacuation, take as little as they can. When that letter was sent, I rushed down and luckily some women had began taking out the Amaryllidaceae plants we had got just a few days back. They were grinding it to a paste that the warriors would be painted with.I joined the crew, picking my own rod and smashing the tree and its bulbs until all were done, leaving the paste in the large mortars where we would scoop them when the warriors were ready.Everyone was running around the pack, all packing their things, getting their families ready while the warriors shot even louder, training harder because in a few hours they would be heading out. Even thinking about it made me so sad. I turned, washing my hands to quickly make my way back to the castle. I did not even know where to start. I did not know what to take with me when running. There were so many
By the time I reached the men being pasted with the Amaryllidaceae paste, there were no traces of what had just happened. I got in line, a man coming closer with me picking up some of the paste.“ Your majesty.” He greeted with a bow with me smiling at him or trying to. I opened my mouth but found myself not able to speak. My hand fell on his skin. I moved my hands all over his chest, back and legs. When I was done with him, he moved over and another came.I understood why vampires fell weak to the paste. It had such a strong smell it left me with a massive head ache.We worked as fast as we could because there were a lot of the warriors. More women came to help, the work moving fast as time was not on our side.Some of the warrior’s mates had moved to our pack. My head picked up, watching a couple hug, kiss with the women crying so much. Her mate was holding her firmly, brushing her hair and telling her he would fight to get back to her, that he loved her. My eyes trailed to others,
My eyes shifted from the paste in the bag to the pair of bare legs before me. My eyes moved up, seeing the black shorts then more skin with that chest which I wished I had lay my head on more. I stared at the arms I wished had held me many more times. My eyes then lay on that gorgeous face. It was hard to breathe, hard to function with our eyes just locked together.Everything hurt; the conversation we had last had and the fact that he was leaving.We stared at each other for the longest time. I felt so many different things that would have me cry but I did not. I just swallowed, staring over at his body and seeing that he was clean. His hair was still wet from the shower he took. I frowned, he took way too long but alas.My feet moved, my hand with the paste raised. I placed it on his chest and stared back up at him. His eyes were still on me and it had me nervous. The world seemed to float away all around us leaving just him and I. I was trapped in his gaze, just staring into his
In that darkness, Vex walked towards me and I shook my head, rushing to him. I did not waste time pulling him towards me. I held onto him so tightly with his arms wrapping around my body. All formality was thrown outside the window with him squeezing me to him.“ I am sorry I have not been there for you in the past weeks.” I said to him, holding on tightly and he hugged me even tighter. I wanted to cry so bad but I held myself. I did not want to lose him.“ Please stay alive for me, come back to us, please.” I begged, not really begging him but the universe to please let him live.His arms tightened so hard I thought I would snap into two but I did not mind, I held on even tighter with it being long minutes. I did not want to let go but as my eyes opened, I saw Stern standing behind.My arms slowly slipped from Vex, feeling so emotional.“ It has just been a few months but I care so much for you and love you so much. You have been a brother, a friend and protector to me. Thank you so
We could have stood there for days and they would not have come back. We could have waited there for hours on hours praying but they were not coming back thus we had to prepare for the worst yet I was too weak to even open my mouth, none the less move. My arms wrapped around my torso, cold to the core, not sure if it was from the temperatures or being apart from my mate. I could feel the distance grow with the large hole widening in my chest along with the unbearable emptiness that threatened to drive me insane.Fur brushed against my cheek and I leaned over, the warmth from Fluffy transferring to me and giving me a bit of strength. The tears came back, just falling with no sound but crying would not change anything.It was painful on everyone but the warriors had left their families in my care, to take them to safety, to protect them. It was their last wishes I believed and the king had bestowed the people on me. It was the least I could do and I would do it well. I wiped my tears, s
I rushed out the door, jumping past Sandra only to bump into something hard that suddenly gripped my shoulders.“ I am hearing about a plan to evacuate.” I knew the voice, I knew the person but I could not think, his words just going in one ear and slipping through the other.“ Raven.” His voice was sharp and in my head I was telling him over and over to move out of my way but my mind seemed not able to form the words, as if there was a short circuit, the wires mismatching.My body was shook, literally picking me up from the ground by my shoulders and shaking me back and forth then placing me back down. At the realization that it had not done any difference it was done again, just having me so pissed.“L—Logan MOVE!” I screamed, frustrated, irritated and not functioning at all.“ I thought we were just coming to this pack to be together, we are leaving? Running like cowards?!” He was literally screaming on my face, his saliva pouring all on me as I shook as if to explode.“ LOGAN MOVE
