I was frustrated and so sick of Kellina’s crap. I knew the real reason in my mind but I was about to admit it. The truth was I wanted her to get over it so perhaps she would consider other options like me! Let’s face it I was going to have a mate anytime soon and Rogan was gone. We could be together and it seemed like the most realistic and practical situation. After all one thing I did know was that we had an attraction to each other so what was the big deal? I didn’t know what I was missing. The big fucking problem was though she knew what she was missing and she couldn’t get over it. I hated it. I wanted it to go away but there wasn’t an answer. As I stormed outside I ripped off my clothes and went full-blown wolf. I made my way out of the gates and debated about my options and where I could go. I wanted to be alone so as I glanced around the terrain around me I choose to go behind the pack house towards the mountain. There was not nearly as much patrol because the odds of rogu
We prepared the surgical area as quickly as possible and waited for the arrival of Erin and the prisoner known as Gorm. I had never seen Gorm but knew he was a red wolf that had chosen to go rogue for the Red Cresent Pack only to be betrayed and left here with our pack. I had heard that he had helped Kellina and I was grateful for that. Kellina was my little sister in so many ways and I loved her dearly. She never seemed to get a fair chance at happiness and my heart hurt for her. Laura the white priestess who had become her mother through no formal adoption but through love was also just as kind and I knew Kellina’s pain killed Laura as well. My heart ached for both of them always not just as fellow priestesses but as family. My own family had been gone too soon to and I understood that pain. My father was killed in the rogue attacks but I still knew who he was and had fond memories of our time together. My mother died I believe of heartache years later and the pain of dealing wit
The day quickly faded and it turned to night still without any real reassurance that Eric or Gorm was alright. At some point, I’d been assisted to shower and change clothes and I replayed the entire event in my mind. The day hadn’t started well and it had only gotten worse. I worried for my friends and selfishly prayed they wouldn’t leave me. Eric and Gorm were the only two I had that I could count on for just about anything and they allowed me to be who I was which wasn’t anyone anymore. As I sat there waiting for answers I started to realize I needed to change my ways. I knew deep down everyone was right this is not what Rogan would have wanted for me or anyone. I was the only person who could change that but changing it would be harder. I enjoyed living in the darkness because it was better than trying to live with brightness without him. It didn’t seem fair or right that I should be happy or even feel anything else but sadness. Still, I knew Rogan inside and out and he would
“They are gone! How can they be gone like that?” I felt frustration and anger knowing that three of our best red wolves had been lost to what I best guess was the Mystic Moon Pack. My fist pounded into the cave wall as I had no other way to express my anger. I watched now as rock flakes fell onto the ground of the misty floor. “I know you are taking this on yourself but you mustn’t. We both know they went too far, farther than we had ever allowed. It was a miracle we were even able to recover two of their bodies.” Athena placed her hand gently on my shoulder but all I felt was the rage as I whirled around to face her. “They went too far because there is nothing to eat up here and they went where there are better hunting grounds and actual food Athena! Our pack can’t keep living like this much longer!” I glared into my mate’s eyes pleading for her to understand. It was Athena’s duty to lead our pack but I was her mate it meant just as much to me to guide alongside her. “What
It had been days and Gorm nor the other red wolf was awake. There was no identifying the other wolf as he was found naked. Erin didn’t have much information as he had just come up on them and realized it was going to be a battle to the end. Thankfully, he was all but healed besides some healing left on his neck. The only real thing we had to go off was that they had to still be members of the pack because as soon as our guards left to assist with the injured by the time they came back the two dead wolves were gone. I waited to hope that the red wolf makes it as he could be a lead to the Red Crescent Pack which meant a possible lead on Rogan. I tried not to get my hopes up as the days progressed because so far neither Gorm nor the red wolf woke up and it was now Friday. It was a tough time for everyone especially Sophia who had not only absorbed every word I had spoken by Gorm but had barely left his side. The last few nights I’d had to go and wake her from beside his bed just
Dinner was unusually quiet except for Roe chatting away as if nothing could be different. I could feel the tenseness and every time I looked up at Corgan he would put his eyes down refusing to make contact with me. I wasn’t sure what the plan was or what was happening but I had the sudden feeling it was not going to be good. We finished dessert and the Luna asked Roe to leave the room to get ready for bed. I wondered if now they would finally talk about whatever it was they wanted to say. My stomach was overwhelmed with the amount of food I had just eaten and truly I just wanted to go back to my room. Then it hit me that maybe they want me to move out. Would I leave the space Rogan and I shared? I couldn’t imagine leaving the memories although not as many as I wanted that remained there. I loved that I could picture him anywhere there and imagine for only a brief moment that he was back with me. “Uhhum, well yes Kellina we asked you here tonight to discuss something with you that
I was a hot mess by the time I came back to the pack house. It was the middle of the night and I was grateful that it seemed quiet. I decided to go through the garden and in a back way trying to avoid as many wolves out and about in the area. Part of me had even debated about going to Laura but she had been happy with me that I was eating breakfast with them since Sophia had been staying and the last thing I wanted to do was stress her out even more. I walked into the garden and didn’t see a soul in sight so I took a breath and allowed the moonlight to show me how I really looked. My nails were dirty and muddy and my entire body was covered in scrapes because I’d allowed myself to run into the woods not caring what I ran into. I just had to get away was all I knew at that time. Now that I was realizing it they were burning and bleeding slightly but nothing too serious until I looked down at my calf. I’d been cut and was bleeding a great deal from the area. I didn’t have anything t
His eyes darkened and my entire body was heating up fast. I could feel my face burning and I did nothing but just stare at him with intensity. I wasn’t sure if this was what I wanted but it seemed right at that moment. I needed to let go needed something besides this death I’d been living for so long. I moved to unzip the back of my dress only now feeling the small aches in the pains of my body from all the small scratches. “What the fuck are you doing Kellina?” He now looked at me puzzled. I suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed. “You said to get undressed,” I stated almost more as a question. “Yeah, in there.” He motioned to what I was guessing was the bathroom door. “Go get undressed and shower. I’ll grab something for you to wear and get some supplies to wrap your damn leg.” He shook his head as he went to his closet, and I suddenly was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself for thinking he would take advantage of me in this situation let alone allow him to do so. I quickly
