It was already night when he had told her to change and head back to the Pack.
At first she had wondered on how he would get home but he had smiled and told her he would eventually get there before her, and though she had questions she did not ask, she just bounded off the woods.
As soon as she got into her room, he was sitted on her bed, staring at her.... But even though he was smiling, his smile did not light up.
She, for the first time, got to let him see her wolf form with her fully aware and his blue eyes seemed to stare at with so much intensity that she could barely breathe.
And it was only natural that she leaned more into instinct than anything.
Ravenna walked to him, before pushing herself in between his laps as he chuckled while she sat on her behind, staring at him before leaning over to sniff his neck.
And his face...
And lick....
He suddenly let out a loud growl as he said "No"
She moved back, whimpering.
He sighed, his burning blue flame for eyes now turned back to their sky blue colour as he smiled and patted her fur "You were going somewhere.... And I think it would be best if we didn't get physical for a while.... I still have a lot of proving and having sex with you.... The last time we had sex, you left, I can't... I can't let that happen, I'm sorry"
Did it hurt?
Yes.
Did she want to push him over and make him want her?
Yes.
But her human side that was way more sensible won and in an instant, she was naked, her face red and looking away as she sat in front of him.
He chuckled, now patting her hair "Come on, let's get you dressed"
Axel stood up first as he moved to her closet, handing her a polo and joggers.
As she wore them, he helped tie her hair up which oddly....
Felt right.
As she was done, he looked into her eyes and said "I need a favour"
Not what she expected..... But okay.
"When the Elders ask who I am" He said "Do not tell them the truth, not even of my name"
She blanked there "Wh....Why? Is it because of the....."
He nodded "Its better you do not. I know it's my name that you remember, tell them you call me A, and believe that it is not necessary to know my other full name and identity. They would try to read your mind, but you have blocked me, so them would be easy. Okay?"
All she did was nod.
Because it was true.
She already knew nothing.....
But why would they ask of him?
He sighed, resting his forehead on hers "I bet this puts me on ground level zero again but I would try rising up to your favour again, I promise"
Then he pulled away, that same sad smile on his lips as he said "If any assassination attempts are made on you. Call me, you know how"
She nodded again.
He chuckled one more time"You're so quiet and complaint I'm beginning to think you were switched last night"
The punch came and for some reason he caught it this time, his hand around hers as he smiled "Yes. This is my Ravenna"
She blushed now, roughly pulling he hand away as her voice came back "Where would you be sleeping? I have no idea when I would be back so I need to know where you would be"
"I wouldn't sleep till you're back so do not worry so much" He said, his voice shockingly serious "And I would sleep wherever you want, that would be after you....."
"Be here till I return" She cut in.
She wanted to add a please, but the words did not seem to come out.
However, he did not seem to mind as he replied "I would be here then"
Raven stared, as if some other words were ready to come out but instead, she just walked out of her room and slammed the door shut then clutched her heart.
Why.....
Why was it beating so fast?!
*
Axel frowned as he walked to her window.
Those Elders.....
They had always hated the Royal family, it seemed to come natural for them as the hierarchy always made them seem scared of their places on the record.
His family was first on the hierarchy of course, as they were the most precious things to the Wolves bloodline.
As they were hidden everytime, no wolf had ever succeeded in harming or assassinating anyone, and they always found their mates within the Pack.
Except Axel of course.
His mate had to be cross country.
And when it had been news he had left his Pack, so many had tried killing him.
Most, he believed were sent by the Council Elders.
Usually the Oldest people in the Pack, they helped make decisions with the Alpha as his advisors except Power was really a destructive thing and it always ended up with them controlling the Alphas rather than advising.
As their need for Power grew, the only thing they knew was above them.
Were people like Axel and his Family.
And they were ready to do anything to get them all gone....
Possibly starting with their Mates.
And Axel was ready to kill as much, even if it meant being banished by his Family in the end if they as much as touched one strand of her hair.

When she had first walked into the room, and met all of them seated, staring at her like she had committed the most heinous crime and it only got weird when all their questions met up with Axel.
'How long have you known this Mate?'
'What his real name? You must know'
'And why was he able to know the way to lead you here on the first day?'
'What is he? Alpha? Beta? Or Omega?'
'For the goddess sake! Speak Child!'
And they were trying to get into her head....
It felt like thousands of snakes snapping into her conscious state and when she could not take it anymore, she heard herself snap "Enough!"
The silence that came next was deafening.
Knowing that she had crossed a line by shouting at people who she was very sure wished nothing more than her death, she sighed and said "I have said it. I do not know his real name. He goes by A and searching my mind is pointless. I do not know much more about him either, we are so madly in love that I do not care of his past"
The silence continued as all six stared till only one voice spoke "Did you, insolent child, just shout at the Elders?"
She knew.
She did not care.
Then a smile came up his face....
No
A grin.
And it made Raven's stomach churn.
"You have to be punished, as the law says" He replied "And we have already thought of a punishment"
Punishment?
Already?
Except....
Except of course.
Her eyes widened "No... No please...."
The Elder raised his hand up "In the next three days, you must take up a Challenge with Jordan Nightingale"
Ah.....
Shit.

Well, wasn't that sneaky?
