Raven Hood

Chapter twenty

"So can I leave"?

"Well, you see. We can not just let you go after you trespassed. Not to mention there's a reward for whoever finds you".

"Come on, you said I was allowed to go when I had done the questioning".

"Unfortunately for you Miss Hood. I never did say that. The penalty for trespassing is death".

"But I didn't even mean to go on your land"!

"You are lucky I am not a ruthless killer Alpha but a kind forgiving one".

"Alpha. Mark. Please, I have nothing left. I can't be dead. I need to die happy. Knowing I've got my revenge".

"I would be going against the wolf code if I let you go".

"The only other option is you join our pack".

"I'm sorry Mark but the last time I was part of a pack they cheated on me. They just abandon me. I can't go through with that again".

"Listen, Miss Hood, I have given you options. Death or join the pack. Which is it to be"?

"But sir! Admittedly, I like being rouge. It's my new life. And frankly, it's better than my old one".

"Death or join the pack".

"Well! I can't pick death can I"!

"It's your choice".

I sigh and stare at the floor.

"I'll join the pack".

"Excellent! Now I have a vacant room in the packhouse for you. Do not think of harming anyone in this pack or running away. Because next time my pack will not hesitate to kill you".

"Yes Alpha".

"Oh no! Call me Mark until we brand you. It's a special gathering. We do the marking in public".

"Oh".

"Yes! It's a lovely feast. But you must do me a favour. Be our fight and guard trainer".

"What"?

"Be our"...

"I heard you. But why"?

"You are an excellent fighter. You won against our current trainer and head guard".

"You mean Liam"?

"Yes".

"Well, I learnt from the best. Me myself and I".

"Excellent you start Monday".

"Excuse me but what is the date today"?

"Friday the 22nd".

"Oh right. Thanks".

"Now I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the cells until the ceremony".

"What"?!

"Please. Listen. I'll get someone to show you around and I'll get someone to decorate and clean the vacant room in our packhouse".

"Fine".

"Now what colour"?

"Excuse me"?

"What colour do you want your room to be"?

"I get to chose"?

"Of course! It is your room".

"Yes right um. Cream with a strip of dark green ( like an evergreen tree -a pine) all the way around 4/5 of the way up the wall. Oh, and can I have fluffy cream coloured carpet"?
