Raven Hood

Chapter twenty seven

- 2 years later-

Emma's pov:

It's been a whole two years since I met Liam. Since I joined his pack. I get along perfectly with every pack member now. It took a few months but they finally learnt to trust me. I'm especially loved by my students. We are currently still placed top of the pack ranks. We are best-guarded pack, best fighting pack, best strategises pack, closest pack, friendliest, but gives no mercy pack, basically, we are overall best!

All thanks to me. So Finn says.

Finn has now fully adapted to being alpha and now makes his own choices. I think he misses being free and not having to work.He stares at the little kids playing in the yard as if they're the luckiest beings on earth. They probably are.

As I was saying my students love me! And I love teaching them. I've seen many groups go on to become amazing warriors. Every Friday night I go out partying. I'm still friends with Rosa and her crazy little bunch. But we have drifted further apart in this last year.

Two reasons. One. I've been extremely busy with training and paperwork and stuff. Two. I spend more time with Liam.  We DON'T have pups. I didn't want to take it too far yet. But I can tell Liam's craving for it. Or at least his wolf is. He's kept his cool for two years. 

We've kissed many times. So many I lost count ages ago. He's marked me as well. His mark was way better than I could even imagine Jackson's. It swirled into two and became one. It was simply beautiful.

I run in my wolf a lot. My wolf demands more and more every day. Soon I won't be able to deliver. I never run with someone else though. I go alone without telling anyone. So I become one with the world. Just me, my wolf, and the sweet outdoors.

Sometimes I go with Liam. I couldn't possibly even imagine leaving him for even a day. It's too painful to think about. So I don't.

I'm still the innocent girl who came here two years ago. I've become more confident sure. But I am still me. The ruthless killings of rouges, training and guarding hasn't changed me on the inside. I'm still incredibly shy. I've always been shy and quiet. I didn't show it as Raven Hood of course. That would practically be suicide. 

Liam has taught me a few fighting techniques. Including sword fighting. It was incredibly fun. I'm now a pro. He doesn't want to admit it, but I'm secretly better than Liam. Well I like to think so. And I am never wrong.

"Duck, cover, roll. Duck, cover, roll. A quick roll Sebastian! Come on you guys! You are the next generation! We have to keep our title as best pack ever"!

"Yes Ma'am", everyone choruses.

Of course, Rick was leading it. He's a totally flirt. He became a new warrior three years ago. He knows I hate being called ma'am. I mean seriously. Ma'am. What kind of name is that. I'd rather be called sir. Okay... Maybe not.

"You know very well it's Em, Emma, or Raven thank you very much. Rick quit staring at me that's 100 press-ups go"! I say without even looking at Rick.

He groans. This always causes me to smirk. I may be being a little harsh. Maybe. But he deserved it. It has been two years and he still hasn't learnt not to flirt with the instructor. I was in the middle of teaching sparring to the younger students when Finn came in.

"Do you mind if I speak to you and your class".

I feel weird when he says my class.

"Sure".

I whistle to get their attention.

"Everyone! Hush now the alpha has an announcement".

Immediately everyone is silent. Yep that's my effect on them. Or maybe it was the word alpha... Hmmm.

"Okay. As you know we are a very strong and courageous pack.

A pack down south as recently been having trouble with rouges. So they have asked, practically begged us to help them. We agreed to help them. We will sent half of our warriors down that way. And Emma if it's okay with her", he says glancing at me.

"Yeah of course I'll go. Why wouldn't I"?

"Well, we'll be there for 3 months at the most".

"Yes"...

"Emma! It's the silver moon pack".

The name rings a bell. Wait! That's... I went almost two whole years without speaking or thinking of him.

And now when I do it's because in being forced to help his pack! Jackson's pack. My old miserable pack. The pack or dreary places coated with dust and littered with fallen tears. The place of bad dreams and no new beginnings. It all clicks in my brain. I start to boil over.

How could they accept that?! Knowing who's pack it was? I turn bright red from anger. I swear steam was pouring out of my ears. I stormed out.

"Emma! Where are you going"?

"To smash down a tree. What else"?

I snap rudely instantly regretting it.

"Sorry alpha", I say guiltily.

But I still walk out.

Well, it was more like stomp out really.
