Dakota POV
As I’m laying in my tent listening to the lighting strikes and thunderclaps, my mind begins to wonder is this the life the moon goddess created me for. To be laying here on this cot in the middle of our rogue encampment. My wolf Bain senses my thoughts and surfaces. “Telling me that we both know the moon goddess makes no mistakes and that if we are meant to be here now that it is for a good reason.” He then retreats back into the recesses of my mind. Bain is always doing stuff like that making a quick word or statements to keep me on track and the settles back into our shared conscious, him and my buddy Sam and his family our all I have left after my mother passed away when I was thirteen. I quickly put those thoughts away no time for a pity party. As the rain continues to pound down I hear the all too familiar scream of a she-wolf in the camp. That douchebag Tyler must be up to his weekly routine of harassing or assaulting a female in the camp. Only a few more months until my buddy Sam that’s short for Samson by the way. Once his little brother Apollo turns 18 and gains his wolf we are out of this s**t hole for good.
Tyler POV
I’ve been running this encampment for eight years and whatever I want I get, either by choice or by force. I say to the b***h of a she-wolf laying underneath me. After I’m finished having my way with the slut I toss her disgusting naked ass out into the thunderstorm. After cracking open a beer from the cooler a knock on my tent post stirs my attention. “Who the hell is it I scream.” It’s me boss my useless second in command Dylan says. We’ll come in dip s**t,” oh boss I saw you your latest conquest running away how was she? Dylan asks. Just another w***e now what the f**k do you want Dylan? Theirs another supply truck supposedly coming through here in a day or two, do you want me to round up the guys and ambush this one as well? No! If we take out too many the town and neighboring packs will start to take notice I say. Smart thinking boss well ok if you need me for anything hit me on the radio! the useless asshat Dylan says on his way out of the tent. I’ve got to seriously find a suitable replacement for this i***t before he brings my entire operation down.
Dakota POV
Stepping out of my tent I bump into Hailey and I can immediately smell that fucker Tyler’s scent all over her. I don’t reach out to touch her because after what she’s just been through theirs no telling she’ll probably never want another man to ever touch her again. “Are you alright? I ask her. With tears in her eyes she just drops her head and says; He can’t be allowed to treat us this way, to just be able to ravage and abuse any female in camp as he pleases.” This s**t is sickening! she screams as she walks away from me. I just nod my head as she walks away and she’s absolutely f*****g right that f*****g prick shouldn’t be allowed to treat woman that way! All because he’s been at this encampment the longest and was second in command to the last rogue camp leader or alpha however you want to call it. Sensing my angry thoughts causes Bain to stir in my mind. “We should attack him Bain says we are a lot stronger then he is, just because he is older doesn’t mean he is stronger or a match for us.” I know that Bain I can sense that we are physically stronger then that piece of s**t Tyler, but he controls the other males in this camp and flat out attacking him would be suicidal. Yeah hearing and even seeing what is happening to some of the woman in this camp is atrocious but with just me and Sam being the only males to not submit to Tyler dictatorship in this camp isn’t enough. Hell we have a hard enough time protecting Ms. Hill Sam and Apollo’s mom from Tyler and he’s bevy of sadist perverts. Just a few more months and Apollo will gain his wolf and the four of us are outta here just gotta hold out until then prayers to the moon goddess hope she hears me and guides us till then.
Samson POV
Mom what’s for dinner? I yell out to her. Samson Hill this is not some dive bar that you yell out what’s to eat like I’m your waitress young man! Mom always scolds me when I forget my manners, even though we are living in this encampment she still considers our tent home and even though it’s not necessarily a house she still makes it feel like one. It wasn’t that long ago when we were apart of the Crystal River Pack but after my father was killed in an inter pack war for leadership my mother decided to take me and Apollo and leave the pack after my father and the old leadership was defeated. I was eleven and Apollo was was turning ten when she packed us up and set out to be a rogue. Theirs a knock on the tent post so I call out who is it? It’s Kota let me in bro. It’s my best friend Dakota we met when both our moms was working at the same diner and have been close every since. What’s up Kota came to mooch a meal off my moms again huh? No well yes that too but I came because I bumped into Hailey after the shitbag Tyler assaulted her, he says with a sigh. I know we said we’d wait for Apollo to merge consciousness with his wolf before we packed up and got outta this hell hole but I don’t think I can take much more of this! Yeah we heard the screams didn’t know that it was Hailey though she just turned eighteen a few weeks ago that bastard is old enough to be her f*****g father I say with rage bubbling up inside of me; doesn’t take long to I’m having to I’m straining to hold my wolf Horus from surfacing. “What are you two in here so riled up about? My mom questions. Nothing mom we were just debating a football game we bet on. Lying to your mother won’t get you very far in life Sam but I won’t press you boys, she says as she walking away. We need yo leave ASAP Sam it’s no longer beneficial to stay here we’ve already turned Tyler down to join his goon squad how long before you think he comes after your mom again? Just give it a couple more weeks bro and we slide outta here in the cover of night just gotta make sure Apollo is ready before we decide to leave because it won’t be easy with just the four of us trying to navigate the different pact territories. A couple weeks and we are outta here I swear it Kota!
