Chapter 4: Silverstone pack. 1789
I woke from my dreamless sleep at the time of dusk. stretching my aching body I finally stood only to have my dress fall off from me. with a sigh while shaking my head I decided to find a way to hunt so I could get pelts to wear for clothes. besides the food part. that was a necessary must at the moment. looking out from the cave opening to the land below, it was covered in thick green forests with the sun setting in the west casting beautiful orange and red colors in the horizon. it was picture perfect.
the image of the snow capped mountain range i was residing in gave me a rough idea of how it would look from the opposite direction. smiling as the sun decended i jumped from my cave to land in the forest below. walking on the soft blade of grass I looked for a path that would be known to animals. I was eternally grateful to Martha for teaching me the basics of living in the wild. after roughly an hour of walking I came upon a watering hole. smiling in satisfaction I waited.
thankfully I didn't have to wait long as I saw a deer enter the watering hole just a few feet away from me. looking around I found a sizeable rock. it'll have to do for now. I mentally cursed myself for not thinking of a proper way to handle this situation as I slowly crept forward. when I was about to spring on the deer a twig snapped in the distance making it flee away from me. cursing to the underworld and back I gave chase only to have the damn thing out run me. giving up and breathing heavily I listed off many curses between breaths when a twig snapped behind me.
whirling around I saw a massive black wolf with white feet and a white diamond on the center of its forehead with green eyes. sighing realizing it was a werewolf I tried to think of how my luck could get any worse when it shape shifted into a naked male. averting my gaze to look at my feet thankful my wings at least covered my nakedness knowing full well I was blushing he asked
"what is your name and why are you in MY territory?" his deep voice was hard and cold. announcing his authority was his dominate aura that tried to envelop me like a shockwave. looking up into his jade green eyes i noted he looked handsomely tanned. he was at least six foot two with a strong build, solid square jaw with hard angled face that seemed to be molded by the very gods themselves. his black hair had white tips at the ends that went past the nape of his neck, thin lips and a semi crooked nose seemed to enhance his whole figure making him worthy of being mouthwatering. realizing I was staring without a response I blushed again.
"apologies sir, my name is Ravenna Featherstone of brokedale. i was not aware I was in a territory. I was only looking for food to last me the week and clothes sense my wings decided to rip the only pair I had." I spoke in a rushed whisper wishing the ground would swallow me whole. when he didn't respond I glanced back up at him to have him smirk back at me.
"I know who you are heiress of brokedale. tell me, why is an heiress like you so far from her home? the pampered life is much easier then the wild life I live." I almost scoffed at him. pampered life? me? please. I know more hard work then this fool has seen in his life. he must've sensed my mood turn dark because he raised an eyebrow challenging me.
"I would hardly say I was pampered sir. after the death of my mother I was treated as a slave in my own home and was suppose to be sold at dawn to the slave trade in Tearicatia kingdom. you tell me how that is pampered?"
I questioned while trying not to loose my temper. the faster I get done with this imbecile the faster i can try to get food for tonight. he started to walk around me like a predator does its prey. ignoring that thought I stood straighter not wanting to show him any weakness.
"show me." he deadpanned
"excuse me?"
"if you were treated as a slave surely you would have marks no? so show me." he demanded almost sounding irritated. rolling my eyes I moved my wings away from me exposing my naked flesh. goosebumps rose on my skin as the breeze went by causing a chill to run up my spine. his sharp intake of breath as he took in my countless still healing bruises and scars was enough for me to cover myself again. my wings gently brushed my tear I didn't even know escaped my eye. taking a deep breath to calm myself I looked at him.
"satisfied?" I asked in my coldest tone almost surprising myself with how cold it was to my ears. the man before me flinched slightly before nodding. turning around I went to go in search of a meal when he stopped me again.
"come with me. I can take you somewhere to get you fed and clothed. please" he added in a soft voice as if he were talking to a scared child. looking around realizing it was almost dawn I relented and gave him a small nod. he shifted back to his wolf form and I followed behind him. after some time and the sun broke through the horizon we finally reached a village. teepees were scattered everywhere and people were just coming out and stared at me. keeping my head down I kept following the wolf that brought me here hoping this wasn't a trap.
I didn't even get his name. whispers followed me as we walked towards the tallest teepee. looking around people silenced as a man emerged from the teepee. talk about twins. I thought to myself as I looked at the man in front of me. he looked down at the wolf then at me. a small smile soon lit his face and the wolf turned to me.
"hello Ravenna Featherstone welcome to Silverstone pack. my name is Alex and my brother who didn't even introduce himself is Axel. please, get whatever you need and if you need help please feel free to find either of us." he spoke in a calm voice and flashed a smile that would make most girls swoon. I nodded grateful to him. I turned around and the first person to approach me was a girl who couldn't have been much older then I.
"follow me miss. let's get you some clothes more suitable for travel." she whispered softly. her soft brown hair hung in ringlets around her heartshaped face and big doe like brown eyes shined with untold mirth, a straight nose leading to full pink lips. she was adorable. I followed her small figure to a different teepee to get clothes to start out my journey around the village.
I spent the whole morning with the local villagers who seemed to take kindly to me as they all pitched in to help the girl whose name I found out is Emiliah in getting my supplies and showing me different ways to use some items. when I was finally ready with everything I needed I went to the woods and saw my shadows waiting for me. unloading my stuff I had them bring it to the cave. turning back to Alex and Axel I bowed my head slightly.
"thank you both for your hospitality. may we see each other again." I thanked them from the bottom of my heart. alex waved his hand as if brushing off my thanks with a smile.
"you are always welcome Ravenna. until we meet again." and with that they both turned around and left me in the woods. looking to where the mountain was I jumped into the air and flew back to where home was now.
