RAVEN POV

Days passed, and life was never the same. Somehow, it looked like life in the pack of my husband's people was better, even though that was a lie. The only difference was the population and how I saw a member pass by the window of the room I shared with Rune.

I had sent several application letters to the company I'd love to work with, away from my family's pack but I was yet to get a response.

I'd checked my email several times and had not received any email yet.

I checked once again during the day and sighed.

“Help me, moon goddess. Make my burden less and grant me strength through this. Let me get this acceptance email,” I whispered softly.

All that mattered to me at this point was working in one of my dream companies. I had applied at two of them since I was in the Illelth Pack, and it was as if I knew a day like this would eventually come.

I was done with my moment at the screen of my laptop. My legs jumped on their feet and I observed my pregnancy routine, exercises

    RAVEN POV It was only a week since I left The Illeth Pack. As usual, Mother and Father put up the usual attitude and I did the same, not caring about them, but that of my future. How could they understand me when they focused mainly on the woman who isn't their daughter, talking more about being a relative? It was another morning. I concentrated on the screen of my laptop. It had been a month since I applied for a job in these companies, and there was nothing to show for it. Was I supposed to be here for the rest of my life? I wondered with a sigh that ran out of my mouth, picking up my phone and checking through my bank app. The money in it was still much, and I would rent an apartment when I was ready to move out. With a smile on my face, I got on my feet and grabbed a towel from the wardrobe before heading to the bathroom for my bath this morning. While at it, I could hear the sound of my phone beeping. The impact of everything was beginning to tell me too much. With the babi

    RAVEN POV I came to an agreement with doctor Martin and then made my way out of the hospital. The sun was high in the sky and the heat made me eager to get back in the car. But then I caught a glimpse of someone. The man who had saved me and by extension, my babies, from getting hurt. “Ma'am Raven?” he called as I stood watching him. I snapped out of my thoughts, meeting the gaze of Aella who touched my shoulder. “Is everything okay?” She asked me and I nodded, giving a signal and asking her to wait for me in the car. “Hi, good to see you.”He was closer now. He had a smile on his face.“Good to see you too, my lady,” he said with genuine interest in his eyes as he took one fleeting look at me. “I hope you're doing good?”“I am very well, my lady,” he nodded and looked around. “You came to check on the babies, didn't you? I hope they're doing very well also. And how have you been? What did the doctor say?”Interested in my business, wasn't he? I didn't mind, after all. He was

    RAVEN POVI walked out of the room after a while. The door shut and I looked at the dining area where the sounds came from. “Greetings, Luna. Greetings, Alpha. I have come for the meeting just as you called for.” With a bow, I said and was walking in their direction.Father's gaze met mine. He then asked. “Is this the time you were told to be here? Why are you late and acting like you're not, Raven?”I should have known it would get to this, but I also wasn't scared of ‘this’. Having seen the anger on my Father's face, I managed a smile and bowed. “Forgive me, Father, but I was having my bath.”My Mother glanced at me, then at the Alpha who heaved a sigh. He pointed at the living room area. “That is where we'll have the meeting. Your mother and I will join you shortly.” After his words, I walked away and caught up with the living room where the meeting would be held. And that didn't stop me from thinking about what the meeting could be about. Once in a while, I would look behind me

    RUNE POV I sat down next to Lila, on the chair close to the bed in the ward she was in. Her eyes were shut and she moved from time to time, while I relaxed on the chair and simply moped, not knowing what to do. Not when she was asleep. It was almost time for me to leave. I had come from the pack with her, hours ago. Now, I had pressing issues to concentrate more on and one of them was investigating everyone in the pack concerning the whereabouts of the woman I am married to. The woman I truly love.Maybe not anymore but the mother of my children. Not anymore also. Why was it so hurt?The door opened. It was one of the men who worked in the pack. He walked into the room and bowed before standing in a corner while in wait. Then, it looked like he recalled something and called. “My lord, I have something to say to you.” I looked at him. “What could it be?” “It's about—”“Rune!” Someone cut short the moment. I had no choice but to look at the woman I care so much about, holding

    RUNE’S POVI'd had enough of listening to Aella’s claims that she didn't know where Raven was. She was Raven’s closest maid and everything Raven did, she was aware. It was either she was being disingenuous or there was a plot between her and Raven. I left my room, called one of my men and asked for Aella to be brought to me in the halls. She was hustled into the hall soon.“Aella. I'm giving you a chance again to tell me where your mistress, my wife, is!”My voice reverberated through the halls and she shivered. “Alpha Rune, I'm sorry I don't know where precisely she is. But I'm aware that she's traveled out of the country,” she said. She looked honest. Her hands were clasped and she bent her head. I didn't want to soften because of her appearance. If I needed to get what I wanted, then this was necessary.“Call her now, Aella. I want to speak with her with your phone,” I ordered. She looked up as if she was going to protest, but her eyes met mine and she pulled out her phone from

    RAVEN’S POV I stepped into my new home, the scent of fresh paint and unfamiliar woods enveloping me. The pack's territory stretched out beyond the windows, a reminder of the life I'd left behind. Rune was not going to know where I was. This in itself was a form of comfort. Maybe he was looking for me now. Mayne he wanted to know where I was. But I was sure he would not get me here. I was safe here. Away from his reach. I'd do anything to stay safe until I'd had my babies. .My hands trembled as I unpacked the last box. Freedom.Even from my parents, this was freedom. Next, I needed to inform Aella. She didn't know my new place and I needed to tell her. I might need her to tell me things happening at the Illelth pack. The phone rang for a while, no response. I tried again and it went to voicemail.“Aella, I moved out of the pack and I'm safe. Please don't try to contact Rune. I'll explain everything when I speak to you again."I stopped packing after the voicemail. Was she avoidi

    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

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.

    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
