Raven POV
Penelope pulled me away from Allistar, probably sensing how uncomfortable I was with the line of questioning. I knew my face would be noticed. I mean come on, my eye is slightly swollen with some purple coming through from the bruise that's forming and my nose is a little messed up. Thankfully it stopped bleeding before we got to training. Being a werewolf means I heal rather quickly, but it's not physically possible to heal within the 5 minutes it took to walk to the training grounds. I'm sure any evidence of what happened this morning will be gone within the next couple hours so I won't have to worry about anyone else questioning me about it. I can't believe this is how my birthday started. Your 18th birthday is suppose to be the happiest day of your life because you are finally able to find your mate. I've always got the short end of the stick when it comes to everything, however I thought my mate would be the one good
Allistar POVI had Penelope and Raven start sparring eachother before the other warriors get back. I want to see what Penelope can do. With Raven's skills I'm sure Penelope has got to be good or atleast have potential if Raven is helping her train. I have nothing against the lower ranks in a pack, but it is so rare for an Omega to train, let alone be good. Most packs train females to become warriors. Ragardless of gender, Omegas just don't train. It's pointless due to them being the weakest wolves of the pack so they take care of cooking and cleaning. They just aren't physically capable of becoming warriors, which is making me question whether Penelope is a born Omega or something happened where she was demoted to Omega. After watching for about 20 minutes and noticing how she is just barely less skilled than Raven, a warriors daughter."Penelope, Raven. Can you guys come here for a minute?" I can't help my curiosity, I have
Raven POVNothing else of interest happened to me for the rest of the day. After the talk with Allistar, we just focused on weapons training which is my favorite. I've mastered a few weapons, but my favorite would have to be my katanas. There's just something about a weapon that holds so much grace while being extremely deadly that brings such unbridled joy to me. Penelope's weapon of choice is an axe and I have to say it was hilarious to watch the shock and confusion on Allistar and Dimitri's faces when she used it with such precision. Honestly she is absolutely flawless with her axe and she always holds a huge smile on her face when she uses it. I mean really think about seeing a small she-wolf running at you carrying an axe with smile on her face. That would be a terrifying site as an enemy, but as her friend I think it's the funniest shit ever.Once we got back to my house Penelope made me eat an insane amount of f
Allistar POVIt's been a week since Raven's birthday and well it's safe to say something is going on with her. Honestly it would be difficult to miss.The day after her birthday she was a little on edge, but that was barely noticeable. When I asked her if something was wrong she told me everything was fine. There was no way I would be able to miss the fear and worry in her eyes. I tried to question Penelope about what was going on and even that was a dead end, which means something is definitely going on. She isn't as capable of keeping things to herself so for her to be able to lie while looking me in the eyes means something serious happened.Raven didn't start to act bizzare until a few days after that. She seemed almost paranoid of everything. There was no focus on her training what so ever, she just kept looking around everytime she heard a mans voice. She doesn't seem the type of person to be paranoid or not foc
Raven POVI don't know how to explain the level of fear going through my body on a constant basis. I can't focus on training and I jump everytime I hear a mans voice. It's getting so bad that my paranoia is rubbing off on Penelope so she has been less than nice to everyone. She knows what happened a few days after my birthday so since then she has pretty much moved into my house with me. We need to get out of this pack and run, but going it as rogues would be difficult especially as she-wolves. She-wolves don't tend to last long as rogues, they are either killed or kidnapped and raped. We may be great warriors, but after time our strength will weaken without a pack to attach ourselves to and at that point we would become bigger targets. Especially since I wouldn't be able to shift around others and she hasn't turned 18 yet so she doesn't have her wolf.I found out who ended up seeing my wolf. Turns out it was the worst perso
Allistar POV It's officially been a week of hell since we called Alpha White about getting Raven and Penelope out of this pack. Dimitri andI officially have a plan and if that plan falls through then we will just run. I can't stand seeing Raven the way she is. I need to get her somewhere safe. Hopefully once she is somewhere safe then she will be more willing to open up to me. I feel like we were meant to cross paths. That it's fate that I was sent here. I resented the Moon Goddess for a while after I was rejected, but now I think it was meant to be. I was sent here to be rejected by my mate and then meet Raven and get her out of here. Even Dimitri feels the same way about the girls, we were sent to save them from what this pack does to strong women. I say it's been a week of hell because Raven was showing up every day to training covered in bruises that she didn't get from training. I know it's Maximus, but I have
Raven POVI can't express the immense hell I have been living this last week. It's been officially 2 weeks since my birthday and I haven't never regretted getting older more than I do now. I know I said that if Maximus did anything to me then I would tell Allistar and Dimitri, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before. Maximus finds me every night and a couple mornings where he just beats the living shit out of me. I must look horrible when people see me for training. No doubt Allistar and Dimitri have noticed my change in appearance. I make sure to wear baggy shirts so the bruises on my chest and stomach aren't noticeable. The bruises and couple times my nose have been broken are definitely bad enough so I can't imagine how they would react if they saw the full damage being done to me. Every time Maximus beats me he alwasy tells me that he will stop if I just accept him as my mate. I would rather take these beatings every day f
Raven POVAll of a sudden I wake up and for a second I think it was all a nightmare, but that second quickly fades when I realize I'm tied down to the bed. When did I pass out? What happened? As I turn my head to the side to look around the room I feel a sharp pain in my jaw. He must have knocked me out so he could tie me up. Looking at the clock I notice I've been passed out for 20 to 30 minutes and immediately start to panic. I do a quick evaluation of my body to see if any damage has been done. So far all I can tell is that he tied me up and left. I don't feel pain anywhere else on my body and my clothes are still on so there's that. What is going to do to me? Maybe he won't come back and he tied me up just to make me feel helpless. Before I can let any hope through I hear footsteps coming up the stairs towards the room. I pray to the Goddess hoping it's Penelope and not Maximus. The second my bedroom door opens I realize my pra
Allistar POVWe are sitting in the small hospital they have here and the images of earlier keep swirling around in my head. I should've realized that Raven's wolf was asking for help and it wasn't just a weird dream. We should have reacted faster and checked on her sooner, then maybe she wouldn't be in this position right now. The pack doctor said he isn't sure how long she will be unconcious due to the extent of injuries she sustained. He noticed right off the bat that she had been injured with silver which is why she lost so much blood and wasn't healing. That sick son of a bitch did this to her and the Alpha doesn't seem to care. Dimitri took Maximus to the Alpha to inform him of what happened and what we had walked into, yet all the Alpha did was blame Raven. He said she puts herself in these positions and she should know how to behave properly so these things won't happen. Maximus got a slap on the wrist for the terrible thing
