Samuli's POV Continued After we ate I led Lilith down to the dungeons, the smell of blood was intoxicating to me but to my poor little wolf, I watched as she visibly gagged upon entering inside.We walked to the furtherest cell to find Sydney huddled over in a ball, she was bleeding which made me cock my head when I called a guard over to open the cell door.She didn't loft her head, I couldn't seem to make out a heartbeat coming from her when panic rushed through me.As the door swung open I walked inside, almost slipping, which made me look down to see blood pooled all around her.My heart hammered as I approached her lifeless body to pull her head up, her eyes were open, glossed over, no sign of life in her at all."WHO THE HELL WAS IN HERE WITH HER!"My command rolled off of me in a wave making the guards legs buckle before he fell to his knees, unable to speak as he couldn't seem to breath.I looked around to see Lilith standing there, leaning back on the wall, she looked to be
Leif's POVRagnar left the hospital to deal with a rogue wandering onto our territory leaving me in the room with Davina.She still hasn't woken up, it's been a week now with absolutely no change in her.We still can't even feel her wolf making my constant state of worry on overdrive as we can do nothing but wait.She moves around finally, whimpers at times but still won't wake up or react to us trying to speak with her.Sitting on my chair, my uncomfortable, sunk in chair, I held her hand as I have since we brought her in.Guilt still filled me with the thought that I forced her wolf forward, even knowing that it would have happened any time her wolf showed, I still felt guilty taking her sooner from us by my actions.'Leif, the rogue, he claims to have information about what happened to Davina. The moment he mentioned her name, however, Ragnar nearly killed him so we will need you here, to help us keep him calmer.'Luna Torvi had linked me, her voice was calm but I could hear the un
Leif's POV Continued "Good to know your true colors Granger, it will make things easier in the long run."Just as fast as she had woken up, she was falling back down, her head hitting her pillow as sleep took control of her yet again, but this time, her wolf was still there, pushing at her to be free."Alpha."Ragnar looked over at Tate as he stood there, he was shaking when he looked at Ragnar before bowing his head."Why would she call you Granger?""That's what Lilith always called me, my last name, because it wasn't hers. I don't believe that was the Luna, and for that, I believe you need to lock me away so she can't use me for whatever she may have planned.Also, sir, she's a hybrid witch that can mask her scent, you need to get the Luna home, where she can't reach her again."My heart stopped at his words, but I instantly scooped her up, IV's pulling out of her making her body flinch before they healed."Let's go, bring him!"Ragnar, still in shock it seemed when he grabbed Ta
Ragnar's POV Continued "You think you are her family! You are absolutely NOTHING to her, I am, I am her family, he is her family, (I pointed to my father) our other mate, he is her family, Luna is her family. You, you are absolutely nothing to her, a man she never once met in her life, someone she doesn't even know exists!"My blood was boiling but he managed to shock me further when he spoke back to me."I've met her, I was the person her mother came to, I delivered Davina, I watched my sister hold her for the small moment in time before her life left her, I heard her whisper her name as she looked at her.I watched my sister die, I watched her life leave her eyes, eyes filled with so much love as she looked down at her daughter.You have no idea what I've been through, what I did to protect her, what I did to hide her from our father so he couldn't get his hands on her, use her in the hopes she would be a white wolf like her mother was.I hid my sister for months, watched her grow,
Davina's POV When I finished bathing then getting dressed I walked out of our room to the living area, scanning my surroundings as I looked over at our dining table when a I felt dizzy.A flashback hitting me, showing the three of us sitting at the table when I felt hot, my body felt like it was cooking from the inside as my wolf was being shoved away from me.I could hear her, her whimper as it got further away inside my mind, felt like an entire piece of me was being ripped from me but there was nothing I could do to stop it.I screamed out for her, reached for her but she slipped through my fingers, the touch of her fur threading through them as she was pulled roughly from me, leaving me alone, hollow.I shuddered at the feeling when I heard a yell, my eyes snapping over to see Leif running at me but I couldn't understand why until I felt the ground hit me hard.My legs had given out from under me but when Leif came I'm I was already going down, he rushed to my side, worry etched
Davina's POV Continued "So how is it I am able to scent you? I don't remember you but I feel like I do at the same time.""I delivered you, also since you are a dark healer, you use your blood, the same blood that runs through my veins runs through yours.Your mother and I being half siblings, it may take you longer to scent it but are family, your wolf will recognize that.""Is that why I was able to catch Samuli's scent at my house? The claw being ripped from his paw, it would have had some traces of blood embedded into it, no one else even noticed his scent.""He used that witch to mask himself, no one should have been able to tell he was there, but yes, because of the claw, along with a scratch from your former step mother, left traces of his blood that you alone would be able to pick up on.You are quite unique my dear."The chill in the air kept nipping at my skin, along with the weakness I was feeling from being asleep for so long, I haven't even eaten, my energy felt draining
Ragnar's POV It's been a week, a long week of Davina's uncle being here, within our home while we wait to see if her other uncle, Samuli, gets the message to come here, to her.She has been spending hours of every day with the man, he tells her stories if her mother, she seems happy yet still cautious. She refuses to let them be alone, keeping either myself or Leif with her at all times. Her wolf trusts him, but she still has her reservations about everything sobshe has been staying on high alert.Every night when we are back in our room, just the three of us she tells us about her mom, stories she has been told, but the one that seems to linger with her is the one about her mother meeting her father.That's the one that she smiles over, thinks about constantly.Today Leif spent the day with her, I've missed her but needed to get some pack stuff done. We've pushed back my ceremony, along with hers, until we can get more of a semblance on what may be to come.Holding a ceremony right
Samuli's POV When I received the message to go to my old pack territory I was hesitant.My Beta was already there, from this I know he is there, how he is being treated I am unsure of but I know he is alive, if he wasn't I would have felt the tether snap between us.Getting in contact with my Delta and Gamma I had no choice but to leave them in charge while I ventured, hesitantly, back to the one place I never thought I'd be welcomed to enter ever again, not with permission anyway.I decided to mask my scent for the run there, not to attract anyone to the scent of a rogue, it was such a prominent smell for others. I'm not looking for fights on my way, I'd like to arrive there unscathed if possible.I decided to shift while carrying some basketball shorts along with a shirt in my mouth so I had something to wear when I got there.As I ran through the woods, the wind flowing through my fur I began getting weaker as I went, my wolf struggling to stay shifted as we started to slow.'We c
