Book 8: King Demitri

Chapter 4: border

Thank you -phaethon for your cover that you crafted up for me. I love it

Gwen's p.o.v

"Olly! Lance!"

I yell as I throw myself into their arms. They both hug me close to their bodies as we enjoy our reunion. The only thing that would make this better is of Peter was here.

"Wait! Where is Peter and Carter? Havik and Cammy?"

I ask them and the two girls giggle. I turn to yell at them when they take off their masks.

"Havik! Cammy!"

I yell as I run to them. We hug each as long missed friends. Havik's brown eyes and Cammy's crazy blue and green hair are things I have missed dearly.

"As for those two boys we delt with them already. But come now, we need to get out of here."

Havik said and I nodded. We all began running towards the border of the Allied packs. If we cross that border we are safe.

A loud howl is heard and that's when we knew they have people sent out for us. We pushed our legs to go faster and faster. We were maybe 20 miles from the border.

"Shift!"

I yelled and we all jumped and shifted mid air. We landed with all four paws on the ground as we kept running. An extra set of paw sounds filled my ears and then it stopped.

I turned around and scratched the wolf away. He went flying into a tree and I kept running. I knew he would be back but it would buy us a few minutes.

I could see the border up ahead. The large oak tree roots what stuck up put of the ground. They went for miles on both sides.

Many more paws hitting the ground filled my ears as I ran. I'm so close! 50 more feet, come on! I pushed myself harder and crossed the border along with everyone else.

As soon as we crossed the border we kept running. The wolves may not be able to cross but their bullets can. We ran until we couldn't hear their yelling, growling, and howls of defeat.

'We need to keep going. There is a small rouge town not to far from here. They will accept us.'

Lancelot mind linked us and we slowed our pace to an even walk. All of us were panting hard. My copper and silver coat shimmered in the sunlight. Oliver's grey and brown coat glistened while Lancelot's black coat shined. Havik's golden blonde coat looked flawless while Cammy's black and bright blonde coat looked wild as ever.

'How long have you and Peter been together?'

Oliver mind links me and I look over into his wolf's bright blue eyes. I sighed and looked back ahead.

'Since we were teens.'

I admit as we find a path. We follow behind Lancelot who is leading us.

'Your mate won't be very happy to find out that you were with someone before him.'

Oliver begins to lecture and I roll my eyes.

'I know. But, wait, why am I telling you all this?'

I ask him as I realize what I was about to say. He is a friggen loop hole! He can get any information out of you that he wants.

'Because I asked.'

He replies as he holds his head up higher. He's obviously proud that he got me that far. Show off.

'Jerk.'

I reply and shut him out. He gives me a wolf like smirk as we keep walking. No one can know what Peter and I did. I'll keep it from my mate and Peter will keep it from his. It's staying between us.

'We're here.'

Lance says through our mind link. I look ahead of me to see a small town with lots of people. There are many houses and I can already spot a school. A grocery store and hospital are in view as well.

'Wow, what happened the years we were gone?'

I ask in disbelief as I shift. My cloths still remain on my body so I don't need to worry about them.

"A new King. He reset everything his father put into play once he got the thrown. Ever since then things have ran smoothly."

Havik said as we began walking towards the town. As we were walking two hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who?"

The man said and I smiled.

"Peter I know it's you."

I say as I remove his hands. I turn around to see Carter.

"Carter!"

I yell as I hug him. Peter has black hair Carter has brown hair. It's easy to tell them apart by their hair. But my anything else, they are near identical.

"Hey Gwen. Long time no see!"

He says as he hugs me back. A tap on my shoulder causes me to turn around. I face the man I love and I kiss him.

My arms wrap around his neck and his arms wrap around my waist. Our lips moved in sync until we break apart.

"I've missed you sweetheart."

He whispers and I smile.

"I've missed you as well."

I tell him and we pull away from each other. No one knew about Peter and I so I guess it's time to tell them.

"Oh! You two are in sooo much trouble."
