RAVEN'S POV

Saturday evening arrived, and Logan arrived promptly at 7 pm. I answered the door, my heart fluttering wildly.

"Stunning," Logan said, his eyes roving over my masked face and elegant gown.

I smiled.

When was the last time I'd gotten such a heartfelt compliment from the man I was married to?

I shrugged off the thought and smiled.

"Thanks for inviting me to the ball. You look amazing yourself."

Logan offered his arm, and I took it, feeling a sense of safety and protection.

The ball was held at the Illelth pack's grand estate, a large mansion that seemed to shine in the moonlight. I'd avoided this place for as long as I'd been away from Rune. I'd had no idea that this was where the ball was going to hold. But now, I could not leave without making Logan suspect anything.

Well, I was masked. That would keep me unknown.

As we entered the ballroom, the music and laughter enveloped us. Masks shone in the candlelight, adding an air of mystery to the evening.

Soon, Logan was intro

if she stays there they'll keep abusing her. her sister will blame her for everything and you have seen that her husband hits her for no good reason. also he'll use her as a sex toy because of the mate bond and if she decides to leave she will have to leave without the babies.. the heirs of the pack

    RUNE'S POVI looked down at the woman in my arms, her beauty was one I could not deny. She was having the most peaceful sleep in my arms and I could not bear to shake her off roughly. She was beautiful, just like Raven. But how had she found her way into my bed and now, leaning on my arm while she slept?Drunkenness had caused me so much. I took a deep breath. Lila, Raven's sister, had sparkled like a diamond in the dim light of the ballroom all evening.But my mind hadn't been on Lila. It never was.Raven. My Luna.Perhaps, a time will come when I'd find her and be able to make amends and help her see that it was her I truly wanted. The memory of her haunted me still, taunting me with what could never be again.. what I'd thrown away without meaning to.I'd thought our bond unbreakable. I'd thought a time would never come when we could be separated but Raven had shattered that illusion. And because I'd pushed her.She'd left me, rejecting our mate bond and leaving her place by my si

    RAVEN'S POVI woke up with a splitting headache. I had slept off on this bed, even if there had been a man in the room.Rune. In my sleep weekend and half drunken state, I had recognized him to be Rune. But I wasn't sure he'd recognized me. And while he'd danced with me, he'd talked about his wife that'd left him.He was still in love with her. He was still in love with me. For a moment, this excited me. But as I looked around the unfamiliar walls of the hotel room, I stopped grinning. I needed to find out if Rune was actively searching for me and wanted to find me as soon as possible.I wasn't going to sit in the hotel room until I was somehow discovered by anyone. For one, I was grateful that he was not in the room when I woke up.I fished out my cell phone from my purse and decided to call Aella. After the last time that I'd tried to call her, there'd been no response from her. But I'd been sure enough that she was safe and still doing her duty at the Illelth pack.I sent her a te

    RAVEN'S POV Logan had a small smile on his lips as he stepped into the house.My heart thudded as I realized I was still in my towel, barely secured around me, and I felt my cheeks grow even warmer. I was getting more self-conscious now.I hadn’t expected him so soon, especially not after last night, and the thought of him seeing me like this made my nerves jump."How're you enjoying the day that’s just started?," he asked, his voice warm and somehow teasing. His eyes drifted over me, lingering just long enough to make me clutch my towel a bit tighter. Did he notice? Did he pick up on it, the faint scent I was worried would make him know what I'd been up to?"The morning is going great," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady, casual.I held onto the doorframe a little too tightly, and his gaze met mine, holding it for a moment. I knew he could probably hear my heartbeat—no, he could definitely hear it, racing and unsteady. He waited, as if expecting me to say something else.Inste

    RAVEN'S POV The morning was still young when I returned to the Oxen pack’s grounds. I hadn’t been back since I’d left, and the familiarity of it made my stomach twist with a mix of worry and memories I didn’t want to revisit.The path to Doctor Martins’ office felt both well-worn and almost strange to me now. I took a steadying breath, adjusting the coat that hid my growing bump, hoping it would buy me some time if anyone from the pack noticed me before I reached him.Doctor Martins was waiting inside his office, his face lighting up with a mixture of relief and curiosity when I entered. He was a kind, older man with a gentle gaze, and he’d been one of the few people in the pack who treated me with steady support, even after everything with Rune.“Raven,” he greeted warmly, gesturing for me to sit. “You it's good to see you again,” he said.I nodded. My eyes darted across the room and then rested on Doctor Martins again, indicating that I had little time to spend.“It's good to see yo

    LILA'S POVI was walking down the cold, empty corridor of the hospital, the smell of antiseptic thick in the air. My parents and I had come here for their checkup, and Rune had accompanied me too. I understood why things were the way they were going. Rune was easily testy and the room was tense. Everyone was still holding out hope that he and Raven would somehow patch things up. But, honestly, bringing him here of all places seemed pointless. It didn't help, but he had come to see his accompanying me to the hospital as a responsibility. Rune had been desperate to find her since she left, but after weeks with no word from her, I expected that he would give up. I expected that it would be the end of whatever they had.Turning a corner, I froze. There, standing a few feet away, was Raven. It was almost like seeing a ghost. I hadn’t expected to run into her—certainly not here. She looked tired, and her hand kept hovering over her stomach and she bit into her lower lip as she stared at her

    RUNE'S POVRaven had been gone for weeks now, and it was starting to drive me mad. I’d tried to stay focused on pack matters, keep myself in check, but the weight of not knowing where she was had started to settle in like a lump in my chest. Every time I thought about her out there, somewhere unknown, I felt a prickling anger and worry that wouldn't leave me alone.I’d sent some werewolves out days ago, told them to search every corner, and talk to every house agency in the Illelth pack. I thought, maybe, she’d gone to any of them to get accommodation.The werewolves I'd sent had gone out, questioning as many werewolves in the pack as they could. They had gone down to the pack's boundaries and even tried a little harder than I'd asked them to.When they came back with no news, no leads, just empty answers, I felt a tinge of irritation rise up inside me. They’d done the bare minimum despite what seemed like a lot of effort, that much was obvious. I tried to control myself, took a long b

    Raven's POVI stared at my laptop screen, trying to shake off the bitter taste of disappointment that crept up my throat. There it was—my inbox, completely empty. Nothing. Not a single reply from any of the companies or CEOs I’d reached out to. I’d poured my heart into those applications, put together what I thought was a pretty solid set of samples, and…nothing.A hollow feeling sat heavy in my chest, and no amount of refreshing my inbox was going to make this any better.I let out a sigh, slumping back against the couch. I’d hoped that maybe some of those CEOs I’d met at the ball with Logan might take a chance on me. They’d seemed interested back then, all polite smiles and promises to keep in touch. But clearly, I was wrong.Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the door come open. I didn't even know I'd left the door unlocked until I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw Logan, strolling in with a box of cupcakes in his hands. He particularly looked bright. Perhaps, he was having an in

    Raven's POVLater that day, I was still in my room, scrolling through my emails and half-wondering if I should start on a new project to distract myself. The conversation with Logan had left me feeling a little braver, he had even looked through the new samples before I sent them, but doubts still lingered. A knock on the door broke my thoughts, and I looked up to see Arya, Logan’s younger sister, poking her head in."Hey, Raven! Having a good day?”She asked as she pushed the door fully open and stepped into the house.“I guess I feel great,” I responded with a smile.Feel like going shopping with me?" she asked, a big smile on her face. She had that light, easy-going energy about her that I admired. "I could use a buddy, and it looks like you could use a break."I hesitated, but only for a second. It felt good to be invited somewhere, to have company. "Actually, that sounds nice," I replied, standing up.Minutes later, we headed to the mall, chatting about everything from her late

    RAVEN POV “Isn't it late at night to be here?” Opening the door, there was Aella in my apartment. “Come on in. I'm sure you're cold.” I mouthed as I opened the door even wider, watching her walk into the space with a smile that was evergreen on her face. “Good evening, my lady.” I shut the door. Turned around and caught up with the couch she was seated on. “Not so fast. Is everything okay over there at the pack? Why are you here? You keep scaring me so much and I don't think I like it.” “My lady,” she looked at me. “There is nothing wrong if you must know. I just came to spend some time with you. I haven't done that since the operation for all that I can recall. How are you doing?” Relieved, I heaved a sigh. And just then, her eyes reached my stomach. “My goodness. It's bigger than I thought it'd be!” Crying, she adjusted on the chair, dropping her purse on the floor. “You look good on it too. You are still as beautiful as always if you know what I mean.” “I don't feel bet

After I parked, I hopped down and led my way straight to the living room, falling on the chair and heaving another tired sigh. It was a good thing to finally be home. Away from the wolves and one particular man who annoyed the hell out of me. What does he even want? Heaving a sigh, I snapped my fingers and a maid showed up. “My lord.” I looked at her face, realizing it was none other maid than Aella who smiled at me. “What can I offer you? Do you need water?” Bowing again, she looked at me while I sat up, thinking about words to say to the woman. What could she offer me? Like she didn't know what I wanted to be offered? But how could I spell it in block letters that I wanted my wife back in my life? “I want water,” after a while of thinking, I let out and offered back the smile she was offering. “Not so cold. Not so hot. You know what I mean, don't you?” “Yes, my lord.”I was left alone

    RUNE POV I walked past the gate leading into the camp when my gaze caught someone's. It's been over two weeks of training the wolves and I had yet to say a word to a man I have tagged an enemy. What would he have me say to him? “Good morning, Mr. Rune.” It was a student who called.She had a smile on her face and my lips widened, the grimace leaving my countenance. “Good morning, dearest wolf. How are you doing today?” I walked and she was by my side, offering to take my bag but there was me who shook my head. “I can handle it, you have nothing at all to worry about.” In moments, she was out of my side and there was me who led my way past the space with many wolves in it. They offered more greetings while I just walked away, heading to the general office for trainers like myself who had arrived. “Good morning,” I greeted the man from two weeks ago. “I have arrived.” Sarcastically, I mouthed and kept walking. “Where are the others?” Stopping in my tracks, I turned to look at the

    LILA POV I was seated on the veranda, sipping juice from a glass when a maid walked out of the house. She had an apron on and this could only mean that she was supposed to be on duty. So why was she outside? Looking to my left, I figured out that it was Aella. How long would she keep doing this? As a matter of fact, it wasn't the first time I would see her leave the house with her phone in hand. The unfortunate thing was me not being close to the spot when it was happening. Now, I wanted to know what was behind it. Jumping on my feet, I acted like I didn't care. Of course, I did. Deep down inside of me but what could I do? I needed to know what she was up to before making plans to send her away from the pack. It was something I wanted to do so badly. According to my thoughts, this woman led the man I love to see a woman he should never set his eyes on. What could she not do? I caught up with a block and tried to listen to what she said to whoever it was, over the phone. “My la

    RAVEN POV Lunchtime. Taking out the food from the bag I came with, I knew I needed to take a break. There was more than a lot going through my head at this point, but what could I do? I simply relaxed my back on the chair and opened the plate of food. And it was at this moment that I noticed something strange happening to the meal. Not the meal, but the office in total. What was I thinking? A piece of paper fell off the plate packaging, catching my attention. What could I do or say? I looked at the floor, wanting to be certain that I wasn't imagining things. There was a piece of paper. Confirming this, I looked around as though it wasn't my office anymore. And now I bent low so that my hand could reach it, snatching it from the ground and meeting the gaze of whatever was in the piece. “I know I haven't done well for myself or even you, Raven. But I look forward to the day we get to spend time with each other again. And I promise I'll treat you right, and not the wrong way I

    RAVEN POV With time, I recovered fully. My stomach on the other hand got bigger by the day, and I didn't think for a moment that it would stop because, from the look of things, there was more to come. Another Monday morning arrived. This was the point when I got out of bed so that I could take my bath and be ready for work. There was not much difference in my body and somehow, I seemed to like this more than the other. Despite the size.It was still Rune's fault, wasn't it? Why can't I leave him out of my thoughts? Anger was the right word for how I felt when I snatched the towel from the bed and walked into the bathroom for my bath. Soon enough, I was standing in front of a mirror - wondering what outfit exactly was good to use for the purpose of my work on this day. A smile came alive on my face when I figured it out. I didn't stop smiling for one moment, but caught up with the wardrobe, opened it, and caught sight of the outfit I needed to look for. How ready was I to be th

    RUNE POV So why did Mother and Father give me that look? I wasn't done with my food but at this point, I was more than ready to abandon it and walk back to my room. With a smile I didn't know how it looked, plastered on my face, I looked at my parents once more. “Is there any problem?” They looked at each other before looking at me again. “Why do you ask, son? Did we say there was a problem?” He looked at his wife and back at me. “We were only looking at you. Does that make a problem exist?” A sigh. A scoff. What did these people want from me? This was the reason why I couldn't tell them about my love for Raven. How could I, when they warned me so much from the onset? “Alright,” I chewed on a chunk of meat and gave a nod. “I hear you, Mother and Father.” Mother cleared her throat. “We just hope you're not planning to bring another woman into this pack, Rune,” she said with a smile I considered fake. “I'm sure you know we've had enough of your saga with the other gender.

    LILA POV There was no way I'd let him do something like that to not just himself, but me also. How could he? It was another morning after the last morning since we saw each other. And Rune was yet to say a word to me. Not because he didn't have words to say, but because we didn't get to set eyes on each other. “Good morning, my lady.” The guards and maids who were not far from the door of my room, greeted me as soon as I walked in. “Shall I do something for you this morning, my lady?” One of them asked while there was me who shook my head. What could she possibly do? I didn't need the regular help as it stands. What I needed was help to get back the man I love for myself. And how could they help me with that too? I looked ahead of me after shaking my head a second time, catching up with the dining table where the Alpha was seated. So where was Luna Elizabeth? “Good morning, Father.” The old man looked up from the screen of his phone. At the sight of me, he smiled and I gave a

    LILA POV My car was parked in the lot of The Illeth Pack in the morning. I reached for the entrance and ignored the greetings of the men by the door. “Is the young Alpha in? It's him I've come to see. Don't waste my time.” The men looked at themselves and one looked at me this time. “My young Alpha is in, my lady. But you can't disturb his sleep at this time of the morning. He came back very late last night and needs all the rest he can get before leaving again this morning.” What were they saying? Why should I care if the young Alpha was sleeping or not? I had come to stay in the pack just as Mother advised and maybe talk to him about his change. Didn't I wake up early this morning to prepare to be here? I looked at the men, pushed one aside, and walked to the door of my room. When I walked into the space, it was cleaned. In confusion, I turned around and looked at the door. Does it mean they've been expecting me long before now? With a smile on my face, I became more calm and
