Lahat ng Kabanata ng Raven - The runaway wolf : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

The following morning as we sat around the camp together eating our breakfast, everyone was mulling over the events of last night. Talking about how the ruckus woke them and how concerned they were with having yet more rogues coming into our camp. It seemed as though, we had to start treating our small piece of safety as an actual piece of pack land. When Dante, Izzy and I had finished our guarding duty early this morning, grams had woken up early and began assigning a rota for several camp members to take in turns with guarding the camp area. She informed us all, that we were to patrol near the treeline in our wolf form, hoping that would be enough to warn any rogues not to approach. Dante had told me that they’ve never had to do anything like this before, and he felt that savage rogues were on the rise. Just as the rest of us were cleaning away the leftovers from breakfast, Zach suddenly let out a growl, loud enough to warn us that strangers were coming. We all gathered closely

After a night’s rest we continued our journey to the Lundberg pack to see alpha Wayne. We had to travel another thirteen miles before we finally reached a noticeably well-guarded pack. I looked on in awe at the high stone wall that wrapped all around their land with two thick steel gates at the centre. “This is….. something else!”. I said to grams in astonishment. “Why have Whitlock never done this?” “You’d be surprised at how many packs don’t protect their territory as well as this”. “Well then they’re definitely falling short”. “Are you ready to go in?” Grams asked as we walked over to the ten foot high gates, and closing her hand into a fist, she hit it hard enough there times to cause a loud banging that echoed around us. “WHO’S OUT THERE? AND WHY HAVE YOU COME TO LUNDBERG?”. A deep mans voice called out through the gates. “I AM ESTELLE GRAYSON, I AM HERE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER, RAVEN HANSLEY. I HAVE COME TO SPEAK TO YOUR ALPHA, HE KNOWS WHO I AM”. She shouted back. “ONE

I waited patiently at the gates as grams and Wayne spoke to each other in hushed whispers. We had decided to stay the night at his pack, but I had woken up early this morning eager to get back to camp and find out if anything had happened whilst we were gone. “I’ll see you real soon”. Grams smiled at him as they both finally walked over to join me. “You take care, Estelle”. He replied before turning his focus onto me. “Raven, it was such an honour to meet you”. He said as he held out his hand for me to shake. “It was nice to meet you two, and thanks again for the book”. I replied politely. “You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said yesterday..”. “Oh?”. “Yes, and I’ve decided that I would like to offer more help, so, I will be sending one hundred of my men to your camp in four days. I would send them sooner, but I want to gather enough provisions to last the duration of their stay with you”. He informed me, and I couldn’t stop the smile that rose on my face. “Howeve

A few days passed and I had tried to make time every morning to travel to Whitlock, had seen my mum walking to her work each time, but I hadn’t seen Leo or my father again since, and Violet had become quiet too. The last we knew of her, was a letter two of Wayne’s guards had reported back to us. In the letter she had told her friend where the evacuation tunnel was and how she was planning on luring the Luna to the field once the battle had started. She didn’t detail exactly how she was going to get her there, but according to the guards she seemed very excited about handing over Addison to her friend to kill himself. As much as Addison wouldn’t be of any loss to me, I could only imagine what it would do to Leo, I know he’d be in that fight himself, so for him to have to witness his own mother being killed right in front of him sent a cold shiver down my spine. Now, not only are we participating in trying to defeat this army, but now we all had to keep an eye out for Addison approachi

“Well, we’re here”. I said to dad as I took his hand and led him along the dirt path where Izzy was stood waiting. “Where are we?”. He asked, looking around to only see trees, as he then looked from me to Izzy curiously. “Well, Dante, the man I told you about, when he fought off the rogues, he brought me here, and there’s someone I’m dying for you to see”. “Ok..”. He replied, looking a bit hesitant. I led him through the small parting of the trees and Izzy took the lead as we walked into camp. I looked up at father, who’s eyes widened in amazement, when he gazed over all the cabins, the many people that were bustling around camp, training, cooking food, talking and laughing. He looked up at the two patrol platforms to see two intimidating guards at each one staring down at him. “What is all this?” He asked in wonder. “Dad, this is camp, it’s where I’ve been living.” “And you know all of these people?” “Yes. Although some of them aren’t from the camp, we have a lot of alpha Way
