Do you really think this is a good idea? What about Jamie?” Kayla asks me, concerned we are making the wrong decision.
“We never wanted this, any of it.” I counter, walking deep into the woods and further away from Dorians pack lands. “We’ll be better off alone, like before.”
“But we weren’t alone before, we had mother with us.”
I sigh, frustrated that my own wolf doesn’t trust us or my decisions. “We can do this Kayla, we are strong enough to survive on our own.”
“What about the fact that we will become weaker away from our mates? What if we are attacked and we can’t defend ourselves?” Growls my wolf, “you have to think this through, this
It was late into the evening when I arrived at the cabin, my feet and back aching like they never have before. I didn't realise how far it was the first time around, though I guess that's because I didn't exactly walk. the cabin looked just like it did when I left, and yet so much different, so much had happened since I last saw it, and not all of it good. We'll, most of it wasn't bad to be honest. But I couldn't change the past, no one could. I just had to get the money and leave, start a new life somewhere else, somewhere that they wouldn't find me. Somewhere I could call home. It’s nice to see home again. Kayla says, a slight sigh of content coating her voice. It is. I reply, a soft smile crossing my face. It’s a shame that mother isn’t here, she’ll make it all better. She would, I really miss her. I sigh, wishing she could be here, wishing that she wasn’t dead. Me too. Kayla replies, but don’t get down about it, we’re here to start again, just like you said. You are right
what do we do? i asked my wolf, dodging out of the way of one of my attackers. we fight. She growls, lending me her strength. i should have known better than to leave the safety of Dorian's pack, we were just beginning to make things work, i shouldn't have taken off like that. it was a mistake i would not make again, if i got out of this alive i would go back and ask for forgiveness, explain that i became overwhelmed by everything. I wasn't a cowered, i could take responsibility for my actions, even if that meant pain. But right now i needed to focus, if i was going to get out of this alive i had to fight back, i had to show them i wasn't weak and easily taken down. i used the abilitiy i had barley any practice in, knowing i could manipulate the dirt around me. there was only one problem, i was beginning to lose my temper, something that could potentially become dangerous. i lifted several rocks into the air using my gift and launched them at the three who were attacking me, catc
i woke up in dark room, my arms chained to the wall behind me, i try to struggle but the instant i do my skin burns, letting me know that the chains are silver, one of the most deadly things to our kind. it makes us weak and disconects us from our wolf. panic seeps through me, i dont know what to do, or how to escape, i have always been a weak wolf, mother tried to toughen me up, but i was always so scared.The one time i try and take destiny into my own hands and i am kidnapped and chained somehwere dark, no light anyhwhere. i pull my knees towards my chest and sob, i was trapped left at the mercy of the alpha who killed my father. how could i let this happen?Kayla please tell me you are there, i need you! i call out desperately, only to be met by silence, the silver severing our bond. What was i going to do? escape wasnt an option, not when i didnt know where i was, and how could i escape from these chains? i wasnt strong enough to break silver, not with how weak it was making my
Beta Zack dragged me through the dungeon and up the stairs, I guessed he was leading me to the alpha, though I didn't know for sure, I couldn't follow the directions properly, ever turn and corner had me confused, the three flights of stairs he pulled me up making my legs ache. "Keep up, we are already late because you decided to sleep so long." He snaps, seeming stressed and nervous at the same time."it's not my fault, you are the one who made me sleep." I murmur, doing my best to keep up with his pace. it's not like I had a choice in any of this, I was kidnapped against my will, something that I had experienced before. I just hoped that I wouldn't get raped this time. Maybe Zane would be more gentle than Dorian. but I wasn't about to get my hopes up, I knew better than that. This alpha killed my father, I had to be careful, if I disobey him, I might find myself if a worse situation than when I woke up. Maybe Dorian and Jamie would find me and everything would be ok, but I ran a
A pack. That’s what most wolves seems to have, but not us, we were free, we didn’t have to live by someone else’s rules, didn’t have to bow down to an Alpha as though he was the master of our souls. Mother took us away from that, gave us something much better, a small cottage in the woods with our own vegetable garden and no pretentious male telling us what to do. She did belong to a pack once, long before I was born, she was The Alpha’s firstborn daughter, but he was cruel and controlling, most of them were. They didn’t stand for defiance of any kind, according to mum they would lock you in a dark hole in the ground if you disobeyed, leaving you without food or water for 5-7 days depending on your size, according to her they called it ‘segregation’. I didn’t want to experience that, I didn’t want anything to do with a pack, I was happy here, our quite life was perfect, just me and the woman who raised me spen
I watched the flames dance, slightly impatient that the biscuits were not ready yet, I wanted them to be finished before she returned from the garden but it was never the case, I always had terrible timing. I wanted to tell her not to go to the city tomorrow, that I had a bad feeling pooling in the pit of my stomach, but I didn’t know how to explain and I knew that we needed the trip. We were down to our last four tins of canned food and a bag of rice, the candles melting faster than they do in the summer months before of the longer nights.As if hearing my internal battle, my mother smiled softly, “Riven, I know you hate it when I leave for human territory, but I will always come back to you, just as I have done every month from the time you could walk.”I tucked my hair behind my ears and turned to face her, wishing that I wasn’t so special so that I could go with her to make sure that she was safe, but a human woul
I want meat today. Kayla whined softly, but we both knew that we couldn’t leave the cabin while mother was away, if she returned and we were nowhere to be found, she would scold us for the rest of our lives.When she returns we will ask for a hunt, maybe a dear or a few rabbits. But today, we have fruit pie. I laughed softly, placing the pie into the place beneath the fire to cook.Kayla agreed, though it was with some reluctance as I made a fresh pot of coffee and moved to sit by the window, my feet on the table as I watched the leaves gently fall from the trees. It would be winter not long after my eighteenth birthday and that is when mother would bring the ingredients for what she called a Christmas pudding and we would cut down a tree and put it in the cabin after decorating it with chestnuts and acorns.Winter was my favourite time of the yea
Instinctively I stumbled back, crashing into the door and beginning to hyperventilate, Kayla screaming at me to run, though not to him as I had imagined she would. She knew from the look in his eyes that he would not be a loving mate, he would be controlling and cruel just as mother said, she wanted badly to reject him right there, but without his name and the name of his pack, we could not.He took a step forward before seeming to realise what he was doing and stopping in his tracks, his voice confused and tense. “Who are you?” He asked.Instead of answering his question I asked one of my own, silent tears sliding down my cheeks as I searched those before me through my hair, knowing they wouldn’t see the odd colour of my eyes nor my freckled face through my thick hair.“Is she dead?” I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper, though I knew each of them had heard me from the
