Chapter 5

*Ravens pov*

I wake up in the bathroom. I really did have a short temper these days. I wasn't even close to blood bath week so I don't know what set me off. My breath is staggered but I try my best to make it normal. After a few breaths I'm good. The memories of what happened are faint but still there. Gray was tired but awake. Clarity was curled up but focused. The letter. I need to find out what was really in that letter. I pull myself off the bathroom floor with a groan and walk downstairs to get my phone and run back upstairs to get the letter. Personally, steps could suck it. I could get a ramp or slide installed but that would be a waste of money. Not really your sitting on loads. Clarity says rolling her eyes. I remember to half shift into my hybrid form then peel the letter open. Whoever wrote this had pretty good hand writing I'll admit because mine looks like chicken shit most days. My heart was pounding as I started reading it.

Dear Raven Hoffman,

There is only so much I could put into the letter. I will start by saying my father was a close friend of your mother and father before they died. Therefore, I know of you. I'm sorry for your loss. It is never easy loosing someone when life is just starting to become clear. Moving forward, we have had eyes on your for a while now but so have rouges and the people who killed your parents. I regret to inform you we have no updates on this said group but we both have the same idea of what they want nor will I ever give out such information in writing. I mean you no harm. We offer help and protection believe it or not. Don't think you can fight this fight alone because it is bigger than you can possibly imagine. It is bigger than the both of us I can assure you that. Our pack is combined with different breeds and we are stronger as one. I will give you 4 days to give an answer. I have written the address in which my chief and a few warriors will be around. They will intercept you on arrival until I can get there. If you have not noticed, you have the upper hand here. Allow me to explain, we have close to no knowledge of the powers you may or not possess. You may be a person of importance but as Alpha I have a job to do. That being said, I will not hesitate to throw you in a cell and take it from there. Do make this first encounter interesting though.

Until we meet,

~ Alpha Jason A. of Blue Shadow Pack

Firstly, I would like to say fuck this guys egotistical way of using power and title as a threat. I would keep this in mind. Clarity speaks. Secondly, how the hell was this even possible? I was so careful of who was around me. I never go out during the day unless I need to. I only go out at night to fight. I only talk to Chase and some of his pack members. Somehow, I was not truly scared of this pack. In fact, part of me was drawn to it. This could be the pull I'd been feeling. Now it felt like a craving that couldn't be satisfied. It is also a known fact that I knew of this pack from many years ago. I fought a warrior years ago and left him for dead. "Holy fuck. Holy shit face fuck. I'm probably screwed. " I mumble to myself. 4 days. I got this yesterday so I would be down to 3 days now. He was kind enough to leave an address to meet at. I knew he would actually come after me. This guy was no joke, I could feel the power through the words but it made no sense to me. Why could I feel something no- someone,who was obviously not there? How could I crave a place that could potentially be a threat to my entire being? There is no way I'm getting out of this one. It would seem we both needed answers but would we be able for answer them correctly and honestly was the million dollar question.

I hated to admit I couldn't outrun this match. But also, what if this Alpha Jason recognized me as a threat to his pack. He'd stated he would throw me in a cell but if Chase was to com snooping like I know he will eventually, it would surely cause some kind of war withe both being of Alpha Blood and perhaps origin. Might as well meet this guy and see what happens. Then again, it wasn't like he was giving me much of a choice. My time was running out and I definitely don't need this guy showing up at my door. I will officially be meeting with Alpha Jason from the Blue Shadow Pack tomorrow before my fight. Hopefully things don't get messy.

Just then, my phone rings. It was Chase. I pick it up." Hey what's up?" I say calmly. He sounded out of breath and panicked."Ray I need your help. There are so many of them. I need you here as fast as you can. I don't know how much longer I can hold them off. I don't- I don't know what they want. I don't even know why they want it so bad." "Whoa whoa. Chase, slow down who? Who is there?" I say. It takes a little bit for him to respond. "Rogues." My heart dropped. "Chase, I'm on my way. You hear me, I'm on my way. Focus on healing yourself until I get there." I hang up.
