Runaway teen

The locket

Ronny's pic

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ravens POV

I hop out of the drivers side and walk over to the large rock that's in the middle of the clearing, the boys following closely behind knowing this is a pack's territory. I pick up a smaller rock that was next to the big one and reveal a hole with a round silver locket with a crescent, a woman is seated on the crescent in a long dress. Meaning it is blessed by the moon goddess, I remember hiding it here on instinct on one of my morning runs.

I lift the locket out of its cosy hole and place it around my neck, no one but me and my mate can remove it. I now control the elements, now it is my job to keep it protected from the people who want to use it to slaughter their own kind just to gain power. I shift into my wolf signalling to Ronny to do the same, I lie down on my stomach so Jason can climb on with ease. I run through the forest heading to the pack house with Ronny following closely behind, I throw my head back and release a howl mixed with happiness and return. I receive a lot of howls in return.

Marcus's POV

I watch Rachel break down and cry while Dave comforts her, assuring her that Raven, my mate, my angel was going to be okay. I've destroyed 4 rooms in the last 48 hours in my grief and anger.

I hear an howl fueled by happiness and return, I sprint outside with the others and wait for what feels like hours until a white wolf emerges from the trees with something on her back. Our mate has returned. Levi whispers. She stops, looks behind her and rolls her eyes at something. What is she carrying? I ask Levi maybe he knows but I get no reply. I whimper when she starts to retreat back into the trees, I am about to go after her when all the others growl at something making me stop in my tracks.

Ravens POV

I look behind me to see Ronny hiding behind a tree, I roll my eyes at him and walk back into the forest. I shift and put on clothes that I had hidden there with Jason on the ground still asleep. "Jason, Jason wake up." I say softly, I walk over to Ronny with the now awake Jason balanced on my hip. "Come on." I say he shakes his head and looks down, I sigh frustrated at his behaviour and grab the scruff of his neck and drag him in front of the pack house where everyone is waiting. Ronny whines and then huffs at me, I laugh along with Jason. "Ronny, I bet if you were in human form you would be pouting." I tease. Oh shut up. Says Ronny. "Go shift." He pokes his tongue out making me get angrier. "Now" I say using my alpha tone making Jason flinch, I look over at him and apologise for scaring him.

I don't have any clothes genius. He says probably smirking in his mind. "I am a genius." I say and set Jason on the ground only for him to pout and open up his arms demanding to be carried again. I laugh and balance him on my hip and walk over to a bush where the guys normally hide their shorts and take one. I throw it over by shoulder and Ronny being Ronny wasn't looking and the shorts landed on his head, Jason cracks up laughing while Ronny stomps over behind a tree. "Jason, this is Jake my cousin, James my step-brother, my mum, my dad, Alpha Marcus, my mate, and Alpha Vincent and he's like a brother to me. And guys this is Jason and the idiot over there is Ronny." I say while making hand gestures. "Rave, I am not an idiot." A growl erupts from Marcus when Ronny calls me by the nickname and get pulled into Marcus. Marcus places his face in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent.

I turn around and give him my best puppy dog face, he raises his eyebrow at me and asks "What?" I grin and step out of his arms. "Can Ronny stay in your pack?" I ask giving him my puppy dog face again, his features soften when he looks at me but shoots a glare at Ronny. "First of all it is our pack and second no." He says turning around. "Please, pretty please." I beg, until finally he gets frustrated at my pleading making him give in and lets him stay in the pack. I set Jason on the ground and hug Ronny squealing like an idiot. "Mine!!" Marcus growls at Ronny who holds his hands up in surrender.

"I think I've met you before" Jason says looking Marcus up and down. Marcus looks down at him and then at me, I mouth that I'll explain later and he nods. Jason starts circling Marcus and has his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. "I'm pretty sure I've seen you before." He pouts. "Why can't I remember?" He says stomping his foot angry and confused. "Hey, you'll remember eventually, but right now we need to take you to a pack doctor to get you check up." I state opening my arms for him to run into them, he runs into my arms and wraps his legs around my waist and his hands around my neck. I look over at Marcus to see him looking at me with adoration and love, I feel Jason playing with my hair silently.

"Wait." I stop walking and Jason looks me in the eye. "You need to see a pack doctor too." He says in a childish way, finally sounding like his age. "Nope, I'm fine." I say popping the 'p'. "No you aren't. You were cut with silver and shot at. I know I removed the bullet but you still need to see a doctor." He whines, I laugh and shake my head and continue walking. "I think he's right Raven, you were shot at." Marcus say behind me. "Fine!!" I say. "Hey Ben long time no see!!" I shout when I enter through the doors, the guys and my mum laugh at my enthusiasm. "Raven, you're back." Ben says coming from another door. "Yep. I need you to do a check-up on this little man here." I say placing Jason on the bed while holding his hand, Ben nods and starts checking him. "He is malnourished and a little bit beaten, but he should heal soon and he just needs some good food to eat and he'll be back in business." Ben says making Jason leap off the bed only to fall but be caught by a laughing Ronny. 

"Now Raven's turn." Vincent says, I look over at Ronny who was smirking. "Jerk." I say and he laughs at me. I grab the pillow and throw it at his head satisfied that it hit him I sit down and look around. "Ben you really need to change the colours, if you  expect your patients to be happy then add some freaking colour to this place." I say while Ben finishes up. "I'll keep that in mind, OK so nothing major just some cuts and bruises here and there but you should be healed in no time." Ben explains, I leap off the bed and land on my two feet perfectly.

Marcus's POV

I watch Raven and Jason eat happily, Raven helping Jason here and there with his food. I notice something around her neck and walk over to it just as my parents walk in. "Raven what's that?" I ask eyeing it suspiciously. "Whats what?" She says with her mouth full. "The thing around your neck." Just as I mention it she chokes on air I rush to her side and give her water calming her down. "Sorry. It's-" She starts but Rachel cuts her off "The locket of elements." Raven nods at her mum and I reach out to it slowly not knowing what will happen. I feel the smooth surface and the crescent in the locket. "Only you and I can remove it." She whispers, I look at her and she nods confirming her own statement. My parents take a seat on the bar stools observing Raven. "Bubba!!" Jason shouts and then looks around going red, my eyes snap to him and see him looking at mum and dad.

"What did you say?" I whisper, Jason looks down and murmurs "Bubba, I used to call my big brother that." His face lights up and he looks at me excitedly and then at mum and dad. "I know where I've seen you guys, you used to sing me asleep." He says pointing at mum as she nods her head and silent tears fall down her eyes. "And you used to call me little man and carry me on your shoulders." He says pointing at dad as he looks confused and then his eye light up. "And you.." He points at me and I look back at me feeling my eyes go glossy. "You used to play with me everytime, I used to call you Bubba and you used to ruffle my hair to annoy me. That day you told me to stay in my room and lock the door but I didn't listen, I was a bad boy and I went outside to find you and then everything went black." Jason says, his voice getting louder at every word. Mum, dad and I rush to him and pull him into our arms hugging him.
