Chapter: Chapter 57Raven POVThe second I open my eyes I realize where I am. I'm standing in the most stunning field I have ever seen. The smell of wildflowers is almost too much. I take a deep breath to relish in the peace I feel here. I know I died, but I can't help the calm I'm feeling right now. The only thing that would make it better is if Allistar and Penelope were here. Like they can hear my thoughts, I hear my name being called. Looking over to my right, I see Allistar, Penelope, and some woman standing by the Goddess. I can't help the smile from spreading across my face. I'm so happy that I almost start crying. I run to them and give them the biggest hug."Did we win?" Is the first thing that comes out of my mouth. I need to know I didn't leave everyone with a war to fight without us."Yes my darling daughter, you won. I am so sorry you three had to lose your lives to win this war. That was never my intention, but I am so prou

Chapter: Chapter 56Raven POVThey may have arrived sooner than anticipated, but we've spent the last two days planning and training. We are as ready as we will ever be. The plan is for Dimitri, Penelope, Allistar, and I to lead a group that attacks from the front with the wolves from the Dark Moon pack while Alpha White heads off to the left with his pack and Alpha Samuel goes to the right with his. The idea is to attack from all sides to then eventually circle them completely. We have to do that without them noticing our strategy too soon. If they catch on before we can surround them then we are screwed. The scouts informed us that there were about 200 wolves in their army, but looking now it seems they have over 400. 400 outnumbers us 2 to 1 and I have to say those are not good odds for us to win. I look around to gauge everyones reaction to this new discovering. I'm not surprised to see worry on everyones face, but their determination is stronger

Chapter: Chapter 55Allistar POVHearing everything that Raven went though makes me feel sick. I can't believe he did all that to her just to make her agree to mate with her. That's still more believable than Cassius helping her excape. He fought our father to help her escape instead of just trying to take her for himself like he's been wanting. It doesn't make him a good person, but it makes me wonder why he went out of his way to help both Raven and I. What is his end game in allowing us to live. Multiple growls going off around in the car pulls me from my thoughts. Focusing back on the conversation I realize everyone in the car is growling, including me. I think we are all pissed at what he did to her for no reason other than to break her so he could use her as a breeding mare. The nerve of that man. I hope Cassius killed him."Also, Allistar and I are eachothers second chance mates and we completed the mating. Which is also why he missed hi

Chapter: Chapter 54Raven POVAm I actually about to have sex with Allistar right now? I have to say that I am really glad I rinsed off in the waterfall before passing out in here. I can't imagine what he would have done if he had seen me covered in my own blood. Having him stare at my naked body is making me remember how many scars I have. I blush and reach up to cover myself with my arms. He stops me with a possessive growl. "Don't hide yourself from me. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I want to take my time to fully enjoy the view." Well damn.He gently glides his fingers from my throat and around my breasts. Taking his time to rub his thumbs over my nipples causing a jolt to go through my body from the pleasure that shot between my thighs. Continuing his hand further down pass my stomach, he hesitates just above that precious bundle of nerves I desperately want him to touch. I start squirming when he doesn't move his h

Chapter: Chapter 53Allistar POVWe have been searching for Raven for three days now and I'm starting to really worry. About half a day after Dimitri and I headed out to search for her, the connection between Raven and us was restored. We followed the connection for the rest of the day until it all of a sudden cut off again. For about .5 seconds I was terrified that she might have died, but Jack reminded me that we can still feel her. It may have been too weak for us to use it to track her, yet it sat in the back of my soul reminding me we still had time to get to her before the worst could happen. Once the connection cut off, Dimitri and I split up to cover more ground until the connection came back on. Because the connection will come back on and we will find her. There is no other option. We will find her alive and bring her home.Penelope got in touch with us about a day into our searching to let us know she is healing slower than normal. I

Chapter: Chapter 52Raven POV'Raven, waake up! Someone is coming!' I hear Iris yell at me. It takes me way too long to wake up enough to open my eyes. I'm not in as much pain, but I still feel like death is just waiting with her arms open to claim me. Fuck.Once my eyes are fully open I see someone I was not fully prepared to see. "What the fuck are you doing here?" My voice sounds like absolute shit after the screaming and having nothing to drink since before I got here, but I'm still able to put a bit of a bite to my words."What am I doing here? The question is what are you doing here strapped to a table?" He seems genuinely upset about his discovery. I guess it's not too weird since his dad is going behind his back to try and take me from his son."Your dad kidnapped me to try to force me to mate with him. He's been torturing me for hours to get me to give in. You didn't know?" I don't try to hide the confusion I'm feeling ri

Chapter: Comfort from Buddy I stare at the soda trying to get all my thoughts in order. Jesse seems to realize I need a minute because she doesn’t push for me to speak. She just sits there patiently waiting like the amazing person she is. After what feels like forever, yet not long enough, I take a deep breath before speaking. I decide to start on the most concerning part yet not the one that could end up with her reflecting the same horror that was on Wilheim’s face. “Wilheim showed up at my apartment this weekend. Demanding I return to him and that I am only throwing a tantrum. I didn’t even realize he knew where I was.” My voice cracks near the end. That trickle of fear sliding back into my chest. I haven’t thought much about him finding me since I’ve been so focused on the insanity that is my new magic. Mentioning it reminds me of how close I was to losing the little I’ve created for myself. “Oh, Cinna.” She gives me a sympathetic pat on the hand while Buddy squeezes his massi

Chapter: Accepting friendship I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for Monday to come. I nearly skip my morning coffee run in my hurry to get to work and see Jesse. Almost. I deserve my coffee treat. Just because my life has decided to go off the rails doesn’t mean I skip it. That would be blasphemy. Spending that last day off just stewing in all this new life changing information. Wilheim’s reaction to my magic makes me extremely cautious to mention it to anyone, but I know Jesse. At least better than I know anyone else. She has been a good friend. Or as good as she can be with me keeping her at arms length. Either way, I need help and who better to talk to than the amazingly sweet Faun I’ve been confiding in these past couple weeks. It isn’t until I walk into work and lay my eyes on her that my nerves truly get the best of me. She could freak out once I tell her. Tell someone that could make my life even worse. I don’t even know what this magic is to know the possible consequences.

Chapter: Unwelcome visitor I wake with a start. It takes my brain a second to process what woke me up in the first place. Then I hear it, a loud knock on my apartment door. Weird. No one knows where I live and I made sure to get an apartment in the not-so-great part of town. That way no one would even think to look for me here. Everyone from before thinks I’m some spoiled brat. They would never be caught dead here let alone think I would reside in this crappy place. The only person I could think of would be the landlord. He’s the definition of intimidating and loud. Most Orc’s are. He just has the privilege of being the one to decide whether I have a place to live or not. He’s not a bad man in the sense of evil, but he is a landlord through and through. No sympathy for tough times or patience for whining about something being broken. Either way, I should get up before he gets upset at being ignored. Who knows what that would mean for my future here. I throw the blankets off me wi

Chapter: Fresh start My first instinct when I open my eyes is to adjust my mood and behavior to ensure I don’t upset Wilheim. It takes another minute to remember I don’t have to do that anymore. A relieved sigh leaves my lips as I gaze up at the off-white ceiling above me with its yellow tinted water stains. My dingy apartment was difficult to get use to at first, coming from a beautiful 3-bedroom house with lots of space to this borderline studio apartment. It’s considered a 1-bedroom apartment, but I’m pretty sure they just threw up a quick wall to block off the bedroom so they could charge more for the space. I left my last relationship with almost no money and no job, so this was the best I could do with my limited resources. There’s a small kitchen that doesn’t seem to have been updated since the 80’s with its cracked vinyl countertop in the ugliest shade of yellow I think I’ve ever seen. The oven is barely useable to the point where it will burn a pizza within minutes or leave the pi
