The Unforgiven

Elijah’s POV

Just as Luc sat down to eat; one of the guards alerted him that we had a lord of demons and rogues approaching our borders. They said that they were chasing a human girl and that she appeared as if she had been beaten and tortured. He informed us and we headed to the southeast end of the territory that they were headed towards. As we were fast approaching, I felt something was off, I just didn’t know what. I could feel it in the air. As we got closer to the boarder, I could smell the sweetest scent. It was honey suckle; mixed with Sweet pea, I thought that I was going to go insane. The smell alone was driving me crazy, I had to get there and fast. Whatever or whoever that smell belonged to seemed to be in trouble, I could feel it in my bones. Before I could control him, my wolf Thorn began to take over. Just as we all, along with the human girl approached the border at the same time, Thorn shouted, “Mate.”

“Palmyra?” I heard Luc ask. I looked over at him; he looked shocked to see her here. Did he know her? I heard her scream for help and Thorne darted off to the boarder. Just as I was about to reach her, King Demetri had to hold me back and King Ri had to hold Luc back; as the demons and rogues finally caught up to her. We both screamed as several demons sunk their teeth into her. I went to try and get away from King Demetri, giving him a right hook to the face, breaking his nose. My dad Mark grabbed me, “I’m sorry son. It’s too late. You can’t go to her.” The demons carried her away, as I fought against him to go to her and bring her back. It was useless; I lost her before I even had a chance to get to know her. I fell to the ground on my knees sobbing. With tears running down my face, I was picked up my dad and brothers and carried back home.

When we got there, everyone sat down for dinner, before heading back to the conference room for another meeting; that would last well into the next day. I went straight to the outdoor gym, just behind the pack house. I had to let go of some steam. By the time that the guys came to find me, the surrounding trees looked like a category five tornado had just hit. There were trees uplifted from the ground, by the roots. The yard was a mess and I was still angry. King Demetri and King RI walked up to me and pulled my ass into the boxing ring. “Let’s get that fucking anger of yours out now, before we head back inside. You don’t need you upsetting your mom and sister or anyone else,” King RI demanded.
