Part 17
I woke up screaming, my legs scratched up with hundreds of claw marks, tears went down my face, I cupped my hands over my eyes then moved them to my hair and pulled. My crying screams made a door burst open, I cried loudly, memories of being betrayed, memories of the “mother” I once had haunted me.

I instantly wanted to die, the pain in my heart hurt greatly. By this time I have been here with Raven and the others for about 5 months, There were hundreds of guys, wolves even that followed Raven as their leader. I have learned to control my emotions and the other side of me. Many of the others have offered to help train me by going up against me.

I have beaten 246 of them and somehow I managed to gain their respect, which is a big deal considering I am the only female present. Me and Raven have become close, even second I’m with him my world melts, the pain I once suffered disappeared, my heart pounds without pain or fear, I-I think I have a crush on him… The way he looks in my eyes, makes me want to understand every thought that rummages through his brain.

I now live in a bunker, at least 2,000 feet into the earth, my room next to Ravens. When I looked up from my bed, he rushed to me holding me close, “ shhh, it's okay. No ones here to harm you. Take some deep breaths Rowan..” His voice trembled, his hands tightening their grip around me pulling me closer to his chest. Tears continued to run down the sides of my face, I want to scream, I want to cry, but hearing his heartbeat calmed within moments.

I pushed him away slowly, finding myself admitting my emotions, “ damn you Raven, you make every second of everyday better, and my feelings for you grow within each moment you're near me. I love you!!!!” I was angry, but I wasn’t at the same time. I locked eyes with him, only to receive an unexpected answer, “ I love you too.”

My heart skipped a beat, I smiled and wiped the tears away from my sticky cheeks. The emotions I feel for him are beyond anything I have ever felt before. I wanted to hold him close and never release my hands, I want to make him feel safe like the way he makes me feel. The creaking of the old mattress echoed through the room, and I didn’t care.

Wrapping my arms around his neck I hugged him tightly, giggling with each breath, “ I can’t explain to you, how much I wanted to hear you say that..” He tightened his grip and hugged me tighter, his strength at that moment out did mine but I didn’t let it affect or challenge me.

My dream still had me panicking, but I couldn’t help but wonder as Raven hugged me back burying his face in my neck, Was it really a dream?.. Is she coming?... Am I going to die?...
