Chapter 6

"How about Ashira?"Jayden softened his tone of inquiry.

 "She ought to be sleeping," Raphael said, drawing a chair in closer and sinking into it. "She is still human, you know, so the journey must have been stressful for her." With a heavy sigh, he straightened his posture.

 "Jay, I hope we are doing this right."Er.m.mm," stutters Raphael, "I mean, coming back to Starlight Pack should be a good idea, right?"

 He hoped that this would not lead to any more problems because he was not sure Ashira would be safe here.

 They had a hunch about the identity of the faceless woman Ashira had told them about in her dreams; perhaps it was the same person who had driven them from the pack or the same entity who had killed their father. Raphael wondered, "Why was she after Ashira? We both knew why she killed their father—mother stole her mate."

 Jayden, who could read his brothers' minds via mind-link, retorted, "Maybe she still wanted revenge on mothers' daughter."

 *How"?*

Reading each other's minds was just one of their many gifts as werewolves. Imagine there is another werewolf inside of you. That is how communication works..

However, mind-linking can also be disabled. By telling your inner wolf to prevent the other person from accessing your mind, you can stop them from reading your thoughts and interacting with you. When they looked at each other for an extended period of time, Ashira had always assumed they were insane—they were actually mind-linking..

Jayden was pacing back and forth inside the room..

"Jayden...""What if Ashy is not a werewolf?" Raphael asked, casting a worried glance at his brother."

Abruptly he ceased his pacing and met Raphaels's eyes.He questioned in his head, "Was that even possible?".

"Well, it is possible, buddy. Keep in mind that our father was a human." He crouched in front of his brother."What if her nature differed from her mother's?".

Even though it was only a hunch, it was a very plausible one, so there will undoubtedly be a problem—a very significant one at that..

*sigh* 

Ashira's father was human, and she had never displayed any werewolf attitudes or characteristics. Given that their mother is a very strong and powerful werewolf, he was starting to wonder if she actually carried the genes..

"Rapheal, I must meet Raven.".

The Palace of Royalty..

Raven was enraged and exclaimed, "Never Father, I am never going to the town school." He was informed by his father, the king, that he would be attending Starlight High. Although there were werewolves there as well, he had previously attended the royal school. He and his friends had always attended the same school, so what would happen now??

For the countlessth time, he nodded his head in disapproval. He would never sink so low as to enroll in a school with his subjects..

"Haaaa...",The king laughed aloud. "Your subjects?" he asked his son, arching an eyebrow..

Raven quickly blocked his father out of his mind..

He looked down, avoiding eye contact with his father, and said, "E..r.m.m erm," picking some invisible dirt from his fingers. "I will be the next Alpha to sit on that throne.".

He lifted his staff of authority and said, "Dear Son, you can drop out for all I care when the time comes for you to rule this pack. But as long as I still rule this pack, Ramiel, you shall attend the town school."" 

*Crash*

His father's meeting hall echoed with the hitten staff's sound. Raven was aware that it was all over; the staff had indicated that the Alpha had crossed the Rubicon and would not be changing his mind.Ramiel—he had even made the rare call to his wolf..

*groan*

Raven realized he was going to the town school. STARLIGHT HIGH..

*Sigh once more**
