Chapter 61
” The Ravens are here in New York, they have been looking for a way all this while to get back at my father, my father married a human and still became an Alpha” Audrey said, ” and now I am mated to a human, they feel like it would be a repeat of what my father did if I ever became the alpha, they do not even want me to become an Alpha, they have someone from amongst them they can not attack me because they know I can fight back now they are going for someone they know can not fight back” Audrey continued.
” So you mean they came all the way from Cleveland just because of you, make it make sense” Austin scoffed
“Believe me Austin, these people attacked me when I went into the woods back in Ohio thanks to Derrick’s timely intervention. Maybe Stephanie would not be alive by now,” Audrey explained, hoping that his friend would understand the situation and believe him.
” Alright, let us do something let us first get out of this place, it is important we do, then I will call my father when I get to my dorm deal” Audrey said, he was going to do anything to make Austin believe in his story,
He did not know if he would survive it if he ever lost Stephanie the way he lost his mum.
They had not gone far when they heard footsteps approaching , this was the sound of a Wolf, probably a very big wolf because as he marched in the ground the whole place was shaking like the ground was going to open up. ” Father please, we should have listened to you, let this not be a Raven” Audrey prayed a silent prayer.
“Holy baby , I have not seen a wolf as big as this since I was born” Austin said in hushed tones as they could see the wolf from afar, even though it was far off they could see how big and mighty it was, it was most likely the leader of their pack in the woods.
At that point all that was in Audrey’s mind was to run for his dear life but he knew making a race was just going to worsen the situation on ground as he had already been seen by the wolf.
The ground shook as the pack tore through the forest and emerging first through the shadows beneath was the Alpha.
” Wait, it was a whole pack coming to meet us , no wonder the ground shook a lot, ” Austin said, giving a sigh of relief. ” So much for thinking it was a Raven,” he said and mocked Audrey
The Alpha’s Amber eyes glowed and his snout twitched as he breathed in the damp fresh air.
He growled a loud howl and in response there were a hundred other roars who growled after him.
Then beside him appeared another wolf with blue eyes and the whitest of furs. It was Luna and his mate. When she arrived they shared glances with each other as their eyes met, that alone indicated that they had already had a conversation.
” So these wolves, how did they know we were in here, I mean when we entered this place was as quiet as a grave” Austin pointed out.
” What are you doing here” the leader of the pack howled out
” Erm sorry, we are not here to cause any trouble, we just needed a confirmation on something ” Audrey said.
” We are not the Ravens, we are not part of the wolves that attacked your lack today” Austin called out.
He still was not sure if Audrey was right but he knew that if they wanted to get out of there alive they had to walk together as a team.
” Raven,” Luna called out, facing her mate. ” Why did you not tell me the Ravens were here?” she continued.
“Don’t worry sweetheart, we already took care of them I don’t know why they came or what their mission was but as you can see we took care of them” the alpha said and pointed to the trail of blood Audrey and Austin had earlier followed
” Ooh my God , there was a huge blood bath here” the Luna called out
“Now back to you guys, who are you?” the alpha howled and other wolves howled too in order to add to what their leader said.
“I am from Cleveland Ohio, you must have heard of Sir Roland Brown, he is the Alpha of our pack in Ohio” Audrey said Introducing himself with the hope that if they got to know who his father was they would back down a little.
” Oooh, Roland Brown, but what are you doing in the deep of the woods all by yourself and who is the wolf beside you, we don’t seem to recognise him in our pack” the alpha said
” Yeah yeah, you would not recognize him because he does not stay or live here, he is my friend and a very good person, he came into the woods today and saw what went down some he came to call me in my dormitory as he knew something had gone wrong” Audrey explained further
“So the Raven was here, you are right, they came to violently attack us so we defended ourselves, I heard your day is a raven” one of the wolves howled. But he was cut short by Audrey ” was” Audrey corrected him. Audrey often hated the fact his family will forever be associated with the Ravens as they often considered them as ravens too because his father was once a Raven, what they did not know was that he left the pack of ravens.
” My father left them a long time ago, but do you know why they came or do you have any personal grievances against them or something?” he asked them.
” No, we have actually never come in contact with a Raven before, but I recognise them from the brief stunt I had with your father in New Orleans, I noticed the mark on his face when we met as humans there, so I figured he was a raven never knew he left” the alpha replied.
Audrey could not believe that the Ravens would actually come all the way from Cleveland to New York just to get at him and Stephanie. Stephanie was only a human; she had done nothing wrong to them. Why were they after her?
” So you are right” Austin said in hushed tones , ” sorry for doubting you” he continued.
Audrey just nodded his head in affirmation to show that he had forgiven Austin for doubting him, he had a lot on his plate so she did not just want to talk about it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
” Do you by any chance know how many Ravens came to this place?” he asked the Alpha, ignoring Austin.
” About 10 or 15 of them but a few of them were able to escape from the hands of my pack, hopefully they don’t return,”the alpha said.
” Sorry to burst your bubble but they will come back and this time with more force, I know the Ravens, they are here for me and my mate”Audrey explained.
” Ooh I see, so they might hate your father so much that they came all the way from Ohio to New York just to get back at you”Luna said
