One Hundred Fourteen: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.
With each step I took forward, I was forced two steps back. Back toward the house, further away from my mate.
One after another, rogues were racing through the tree line, past the homes that they had set alight, and straight for the pack house.
Bodies surrounded me as I fought with everything in me to protect my pack, my daughter. There wasn't a single rogue I was going to let in that house. It was bad enough that the house was filling with the injured, who were seeking help from the pack doctor.
But I needed to be in two places at once.
Maddie was with guards on her way to safety. But she also had enemies breathing down her neck, trying to get passed me to the innocent children so they could eliminate the pack in its entirety. I knew the chances of the rogues getting to Maddie were slim. Only those that knew of the passageway could find it, and the rogues didn't know where the tunnel let out.
On the other hand

Oliver's P.O.V.I could feel her. Her determination and anger.But I could also feel her pain. My Lana was in pain. It was both a relief and disturbing. I had vowed to protect her, but I was also grateful because it meant that she was still alive.My head rolled to the side as my limp body was shoved down to my knees, held up only by my biceps. I could hear the metal chains being adjusted only a second before they were wrapped around my neck, wrists, and ankles all at once. The burning of the silver startled me back to consciousness, and I growled in annoyance that I was back in this position.I had been chained up before, but the dread that came from the way the metal weakened me and the sizzling of my flesh from the direct contact was new. I hadn't been expecting to feel this way, but now I had more to lose. I had a daughter and a mate waiting for me.To top it off, I had made a promise to the Goddess that I would rid the Earth o
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Sixteen: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.My body had begun healing as I moved naked through the forest, tracking the paw prints and mixed scents. The only hope I had that I was trailing after the right set of rogues was the faint lingering distinction of my mate's scent.Where they had initially surrounded him, a large rock had been broken in half and left on the ground, covered in my mate's blood.I had been able to follow it until he had healed enough for the bleeding to stop, but when his scent had been thinned by the breeze, I had resorted to tracking him by the scuffs and paw prints on the ground.My nose twitched as another scent crossed my path and that of my mate. It was familiar, poisonous almost, and I wrinkled my nose."What the Hell is that stench? Just when I thought rogues couldn't get any more disgusting." Scarlett lifted her hand, covering her nose and mouth as she walked next to me. It would not take much longer before I could shift. I could
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Seventeen: Lana
Lana's P.O.V"You smell really bad now." Scarlett groaned, and I rolled my eyes at her. Of course, I did. I was covered in Nyla's infected blood. "You're going to have to rinse off before we reach Oliver, or your smell is going to give us away."I paused mid-step, realizing that she was right."Where is the closest stream?" She asked as she lifted her head to point her nose up and took a deep inhale. "I don't smell anything close by. You may just have to roll around in some mud.""I don't know where water would be. I've been restricted to staying close to the pack house since I was turned. The rogues wanted to kill me and Oliver, so we weren't allowed to go very far." I said, bending down to wipe some of the blood from my hands onto the dirt.Scarlett froze mid-step and turned with her eyes sharply pinned on me. "I swear to the Goddess, if you are about to get me in trouble with Parker for letting you come out here, I am going to h
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Eighteen: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. The feeling in my back had all but vanished. My body was no longer my own. It was shutting down slowly but surely with each lashing, each punishment. I wanted to close my eyes and speak to the Goddess. I needed to know what I had done in this or my previous life to deserve such pain and torment, but she didn't answer. I knew she was real. She was out there. She was just watching with a sick sense of amusement as I was tortured. I had honored Her my entire life. I prayed to Her and respected Her and her creations. I had done everything to be worthy of Her, yet She continued to punish me for something that I did not understand. I wasn't sure that I ever would. Had I taken too long? When I had vowed upon my reincarnation that I would rid the world of the rogues who were poisoning Her name, had I taken too long? The whip sliced the skin on my back, the tip reaching over my collar and cutting a portion of my chest that had remained untouched until now. "Ah!" I groaned
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Nineteen: Lana
Lana's P.O.V.With each step, I moved faster than the last until I had picked up enough momentum to run while balancing Oliver over my shoulder. It was probably a hilarious sight, a naked woman running with a naked man on top of her.But I was panicking. The longer Oliver remained unconscious, and without his wolf, the more I was struggling to get my bearings. I needed him to wake up, or at least to feel our bond again so I could tell what was going on or what he needed."Come on, Lana! Think!" I scolded myself as I glanced around. We had been running away from the rogues for over twenty minutes before I had to pause. I needed to figure out where to go. Running from side to side wasn't going to do anything to hide his scent as long as he was still bleeding all over the place.'Go east.' A familiar male voice said through the pack link as he ran toward me. Mr. Blake's wolf was slightly smaller than Oliver's but just as impressive. I didn't
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. I was livid. There was no other word for it. I was going to support him, but I was so angry at him. He felt like he needed to do something to honor his Goddess and beliefs, but he forgot about one little thing. Me. I wasn't going to sit in some cave like a damsel in distress while he was out there taking down our enemies. I wanted blood too. I was just going to go about it a different way. He seemed to feel like he was on his own in this battle, but he wasn't. Did he want his revenge? That was fine by me. I would bring the fucking popcorn, and we could eat it together as we looked over the bodies we dropped. But he wasn't going to do it alone. Instead of running headfirst into a battle where we would be outnumbered, I went for help. Water dripped from my fur as I sprinted through the forest toward where I had last seen Scarlett and her guards. Only when I stumbled upon them, their group had grown larger. More wolfs had joined them and were stalking through the trees
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty-One: Oliver
Oliver's P.O.V. There was a rush. Each rogue I took down sent another pulse of adrenaline through me. I could feel my blood pulsing beneath my skin, and my mind was tracking each movement as if it were in slow motion, allowing me to counter their attacks with ease. One after another, they fell at my feet. Their rotten bodies littered the ground and poisoned the Earth with their diseased blood. Only their souls moved on. They would be presented before the Goddess to face the punishments for their crimes. They had turned on their own, killing innocent kids, women, and men. I could only pray that they received justice, and I knew they would. While I questioned Her fairness toward me before, I still believed in Her. She was my creator and judge. I was her soldier, brought back to life to fight for Her and Her cause. To protect my family and make the world better for my children to grow up in. I could feel Lana close by, but our bond was blocked. She was there in my mind, but I could
The Wolf's Claim One Hundred Twenty-Two: Lana
Lana's P.O.V. Not turning to look at Oliver was the hardest thing I had ever done. But I couldn't take my eyes away from the forest in front of me. Too many wolves had gotten through the defense we had in place, but we were lucky to only have lost a few of our men who were surrounding my mate, trying to protect him. I knew Oliver was still alive, still surviving. I could still feel him even though I couldn't talk to him or turn back to see him. Whatever this was, it was bigger than all of us. There were forces at play that seemed to surprise even the natural-born shifters who had known about this world their entire lives. It made me feel a bit better about my ignorance. I was looking for a witch when I first hit the barrier, ready to rip her throat out to get to my mate. But Scarlett stopped me. She made me focus without my anger to understand that there was more going on. There was a glow about the dome of magic Oliver was trapped in, one that felt familiar. The connection my wol
