One week later I had eventually left that night but every day for a week I have been coming back and so have they, however they haven’t been staying as long. But they had a plan… of course they did. I wish I could just march through the boarders and communicate with the Alpha and Luna here, but I know that I must smell like a rogue just as much as these idiots did, I’d most likely be caught, arrested and left in a cell to rot or killed before I even got to speak a word. My old pack was a lot more merciful to lone rogues than other packs that I had heard about. We’d always show restraint and give the rogue a chance to speak before their fate was decided. Most of the ones that crossed our boarder were scared and desperate to escape the forest and have a safe home, but some packs weren’t as lenient. I might be able to take on and kill a handful of rogues by myself, but I didn’t know my chances against skilled, trained warriors and I didn’t particularly want to take my chances. What wa

I woke up at first light, I quickly washed my armor rubbed lavender onto them and left them to fry under the sun then headed to the warm pools to bathe, I wanted to smell as fresh as I could before I headed to Heath’s and with how drastic things have changed for me, I needed a moment to breathe. Once I was washed, I chucked on my shorts and top and headed back home to eat, I stuck to fruits so I wouldn’t smell of cooked wild animal. I Put on my now dry armor and ran my fingers through my hair to detangle any knots to look as tidy as possible, I tied it back, then I made my way to Heaths as soon as it reached noon. When I got to his boarder, Heath and Mitch were already waiting and I noticed a twinkle in Heath’s eyes as his gaze fell on me ”there’s our little warrior" he smiled brightly as he opened his arms to bask me in a hug and this time I returned without hesitating. “SO, I was thinking” I said as I stepped out of the hug ”I want to speak to the boy myself today, I want to know

Heath's POV: I ran as fast as I could, the smell of my mate was overpowering as I got nearer, it hit me hard, the smell of cherries and camomile soap, it was delicious. My eyes shot to her and widened as I saw she was running just as fast toward me a longing look on her face which matched the way I felt. I finally got to her as we embraced, I wrapped my arms around her and held her tightly. I then pulled away to look at her, cupping her cheek I took in her beauty. Her long golden blonde hair and blue eyes, her slim figure dressed in black and khaki armor… ahh she’s a fighter too... perfect! “mate” I spoke to her feeling ecstatic as I looked into her eyes. “mate” she whispered back with a bright smile as she ran her hand through my hair. We both smiled intently at each other, then I grabbed her hand and motioned for her to follow “come, my love” she nodded and smiled eagerly. We began to walk when a strong hand fell on my arm, I turned to my right to see Trey smiling. “I’m happy for

The grounds outside the palace and in front of the main gates were crowded with warriors and their families. I could hear muffled cries from their children and loving kisses from their anxious mates as they said their goodbyes. It broke my heart to know that some of them wouldn’t make it and return back to their loved ones, let alone all the other warriors that would be joining us from other packs! The aftermath of this… weather we win or lose is going to be unbearable for so many and felt by every pack involved. These rebels, whoever they are, are about to inflict an unspeakable amount of pain and sorrow on so many, and for what? what revenge could possibly be worth destroying the lives of innocent people… its savage, ruthless! Everyone started loading their kit into the jeeps, each picking one to ride in. Heath insisted I rode in the first jeep that he would be driving along with Adeena, Mitch and his brother Warren who was also a warrior. Trey, Yen and Danny and another warrior ha

I heard soft footsteps approaching from behind, but I already recognized the scent of who was coming to disturb my quiet and clouded thoughts. "Lelanna, I know you’re up there, come down” Heath called softly. I huffed and sighed deeply as I got up onto my feet, stepped off of the branch and let myself drop to the ground, my feet hitting the dry mud as I stood before him and Adeena, Heath’s eyes looked concerned, and I could see worry etched onto his face but the blood that had been dried onto their faces and bodies were now gone. They looked and smelt fresh and clean as if a battle of over 1000 people didn’t happen only a couple of hours ago. “Are you ok?” Adeena held out her hand and grasped mine, I held hers loosely, not feeling the want for any company right now. I nodded and gulped down the trapped tears that were threatening to spill over the moment I opened my mouth to speak. She looked at me as if she could already tell what I was feeling and gave me an understanding nod ”we
