“Mommy why do I feel like this?” I whine while curling in to my 9year-old twin sister Liliana who runs her fingers through my jet-black hair. “Gideon! It’s going to be ok Raven; you know what’s happening,” Rebecca reassures while rubbing my back as our dad comes into the room with ice and towels. I cry out in pain when all my joints feel like they are grinding against each other, and my muscles tighten. “I thought werewolves didn’t change till they are older?” Liliana questions as I sit up and pull my shirt off feeling so hot. “Most don’t until they come of age to find their mate, but you and your sister are special,” Rebecca answers while brushing my hair back and I pull away feeling pain and anxiety. “Daddy,” I cry looking up into his light blue eyes for help as he put his hand on my shoulder. “Come here,” my dad softly speaks while scooping me up then carries me into mine and Liliana’s bathroom. “What are you doing?” I whine gripping onto him as tight as I could digging my fi
“Raven,” I hear Dad’s voice in my head as I finish my milk so I get up and walk through the kitchen to him. “Come on, there’s no one around for miles Mom and I made sure it was safe,” he says, making my ears perk up excited about running around outside. “Really?” I question with my tail wagging making him chuckle and nod his head as my eyes widen. “You’re a natural, just reach out for the link you’ll only be connected to those who have shifted that you’re related to and who you share a link with,” Dad replies proudly as he leads our way outside into the beautiful snow. “It’s so bright,” I mention as my eyes focus on every detail of my surroundings almost like the sun is up. Your sight is much better at night and the full moon reflects off the snow,” Dad explains watching me as I run around in the yard getting used to being on four paws. My tail begins to wag even more seeing my mom coming towards us from across the pasture. My dad begins to walk towards her and I begin to follow
A loud growl pulls me out of my head making me I look around to find myself lost in the dark in part of the forest I don’t recognize. I instantly freeze when hearing footsteps crunching in the snow circling me staying just out of sight. I back myself into a tree for cover hoping nothing could attack me from behind. “Daddy!” I try to link my father as I can smell the rancid rogue wolf who reeks of rage and death. I know I am too small to fight when my eyes start darting everywhere trying to find a clear path knowing speed was my only chance. The menacing growl grows louder and closer as I whimper crying out to my parents unable to find my connection to them. The moment I see the puff of hot breath from the brown and gray wolf from the corner of my eye I bolt towards the creek bed that naturally flows downhill. “Help!” I scream connecting to the only link I can find as the brown wolf tears after me growling dangerously close. “Please don’t,” I cry getting hit from behind feeling
“Raven!” Liliana sighs while jumping up on the bed and hugs me when Dad sits down on the bed with me in his arms. “Lily,” I cry while holding onto her with the blanket tightly around me. “Raven it’s ok,” Dad reassures while rubbing my back and I nod my head as I feel my mother’s rage nearly choking me like a thick fog. “I know Mom is angry,” I whisper while looking over at her as she paces next to the bed. “Mom was really scared, no one could find you and you’re naked,” Liliana admits while looking into my nearly black eyes and I look down and away. “I’m sorry,” I whisper while crawling into my bed holding the fur blanket over me. “Raven we’re just happy you’re ok. I’m glad Osric found you and helped you,” our dad reassures while rubbing my back as I face the wall knowing everyone was upset with me. “No!” I scream holding onto the fur blanket as tight as I can feeling it being pulled off of me. “Raven let go! You’re not keeping it!” Rebecca growls firmly pulling the blanket awa
Osric’s POV “What are we doing out here?” Embry’s voice floods through the link as I shift into a large black wolf and walk through the forest following a strange pull on the mate bond. “You don’t feel it?” I link Embry knowing he stayed back to ensure a safe perimeter around Adaline and Jyrki’s home while Gideon and his family are near Blood Moon. “I feel something, but it shouldn’t be possible,” Embry replies as I stop when I catch a glimpse of a young red pup stalking a bunny that is eating roots near the base of a shrub. “It is, I see her,” I admit watching our young mate move down wind and begin to crawl quietly towards her prey making me chuckle. I don’t know how old she is, but she is much younger than any wolf I’ve seen shift. I could feel the power radiating from her, she already has the aura of a full-blown alpha, stronger than anything I’ve ever felt let alone from anyone so young. “We have another mate?” Embry’s questions when I sniff the air and her scent hits like
“Alpha Osric, it is good to see you,” Gideon sounds glad as he walks closer baring his neck out of respect. “It’s good to see you well Gideon, you need to keep a better eye on Raven. She’s going to be targeted the second anyone sees her or how powerful she is,” I admit while looking around as I can smell something off in the air. “Rebecca if I ever see you act like that towards Raven again, I will use my position as Alpha King to take your children from you. They should never be afraid of their parents, especially their mother. I know you’ve had an extremely tough life, but that’s no excuse, you were treated very well in my pack,” I scold Rebecca making her drop to a submissive position as she whimpers unable to fight submitting to her Alpha. “Osric please, Rebecca was afraid Raven was found by rogues,” Gideon links moving between Rebecca and I making me nod as I understand being afraid for her daughter but scaring her like that is unacceptable. After talking for a few more moments
“What are we going to do now? She can’t keep coming back here other wolves and vampires will come after her if they find out what she is to us,” Embry questions while licking her hand as she rolls over and reaches out to him clearly feeling the bond to him. “Alpha Quinn will take them in, and I want you to watch her from a distance to keep her safe. I want none of the elders to know about her, we know what Sasha and her supporters would do,” I can’t stifle my yawn as I watch him lay on Raven’s other side with her hand resting on his neck. “What about Blood Moon?” Embry whines at Raven passing out into a deep sleep. “She’s going to be ok; Blood Moon isn’t your priority I’ll have Eya take over your Beta duties. Our mate needs someone to look after her and keep her safe, you’re the only one I trust more than myself to protect her,” I instruct then begin to growl getting up hearing someone approaching. “Gideon,” Embry links while smelling the air as I look towards the sound seeing him
Raven’s POV Shortly after returning to Seattle, we were forced to leave the city and joined a real pack in Finland near Blood Moon. We lived peacefully in the pack able to hide Liliana’s abilities and that I shifted so young, but it all changed just after turning eleven. “Lily!” I call out feeling her fear as we were playing in the forest with other pack children, but they disappeared on us. “Where are you?” I ask quietly trying to find her scent as I can’t shift to find her because Alpha Quinn has no idea Liliana and I are different. “Lily!” I yell hearing my parents calling out for both of us from quite a distance and it is now getting dark. “Lily where are you; I know you’re scared,” searching for Liliana I try to link to her mind even though she has never been able to link me back. I nearly cry because I am still unable to communicate through the link without her shifting. I feel myself whimper as my hair stands on end making my claws start to come out feeling my sister’s f
