||Raven||“If you didn’t plan to kill us, who did ?”“It’s Jerold black !” My mother uttered and I was astonished.“ What did you say ?” I asked again.“ Jerold Black planned the attack .” My mother announced.“When you were born, I knew you were the chosen one. The one from the prophecy that was why I named you, Raven. I also knew I had to protect you from him. So I did everything in my power to keep you safe. I kept you by my side at all times when we went out of the clan's territory, but I couldn’t keep you hidden from Jerold. When you were four, I started receiving letters, ““What was in it ?”Zander queried.“The first letter was: prepare her for my arrival… I will come for my breeder when she turns eighteen and it didn’t take a genius to know it came from Jerold black. The letters and gifts kept coming and I got scared. I knew I couldn’t protect you alone .” she whispered.“Why didn’t you tell dad?”“ I couldn’t. Your father was just like Jerold. He thirsts for power and I knew
||Raven||It was the next day, after I found out my mother had been alive all these years. Everything felt so unreal. I felt like I was trapped inside my head and I couldn't decrypt my emotions.Although I was glad to know I wasn't a murderer as the River Moon Clan labelled me to be, I couldn't grasp the reality, that the woman that was supposedly dead was breathing the same air as me.Nothing will be the same for us. Not after fourteen years of separation.During breakfast, I stole glances at her, attempting to satisfy my mind. She also tried to start a conversation with me and I tried my best to be enthusiastic like her. But my brain was holding a grudge against her.For years, I believed my mother was dead, her soul resting in the kingdom of Serena, the moon goddess for all eternity.And I allowed myself to be beaten and abused because I thought the guilt and regret growing inside my heart would be less bothersome.I lost my identity and voice in the process. I lost my freedom. No
||Zander||I left my office and then rushed over towards the hallway. Raven's scent was everywhere in the house. It was strong and addictive just like the nectar of a flower. I ran swiftly like a warrior in battle but froze when her intoxicating scent arrested my lungs, unexpectedly."Zander!" she croaked. Her voice was enough for me to gather all the strength needed to reach her. I rushed to her side and gently pulled her out of Emily's arms. My hand burned when I touched her bare skin. Her body was overheating and I needed to act fast."Is everything alright little wolf? How do you feel?" I asked with a straining in my voice."No, I'm not fine. I feel really hot and irritated."Then another scent hit me and I felt like I had been struck by lightning. My mind was in a haze and my wolf was bouncing in excitement at the back of my mind.When a swift morning breeze swept over us from the open door, I knew we were in trouble. We were close to the training grounds where our unmated male w
|| Zander||"Z-Zander, please..." Raven whispered against my lips and I shut my eyes with labored breath, fighting for control over my wolf. When I finally opened my eyes, Raven's blazing sapphire eyes were gazing at me.The need I saw reflecting in there, nearly undid me and I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to take it slow with her.I was fucking screwed!As I involuntarily inched closer, I breathed her in and brushed my dry lips on her soft one.Raven's lips parted as she reached for my hand; before I had time to react, she shoved it between her thighs. My breath caught in my throat as it came in contact with her soaking core. It was warm and sticky.Holy mother of god!! I growled.The color of my eyes changed into a dark shade of blue and I could hardly contain Axel in the back of my mind.He was growling to be released and hitting the barrier in my head as if he had gone berserk.All rational and coherent thoughts immediately flew out the door. "Fuck this! And damn the co
||Unknown POV||“ Leader, the team we sent after the breeder in Orlando is dead," my second-in-command informed me, agitated.“ Whattt? What the fuck do you mean all the ten rogues and werebears are dead ?” I roared.The loud tone of my voice made him quiver. And blood drained from my face as he inclined his head. Those men I sent were the strongest of my creation and have been training for over five years...How did they die?Who did they fight?“ I don’t know the full details but I believe they were able to locate the breeder and they died at the hands of the Lycan she was spotted with, at the airport. They must have had a strong backup waiting for them in Orlando... “ he bowed as he started. I gripped his collar roughly and hauled him against the wall, not giving him the chance to continue the rest of his sentence."What do you mean by... I don't know the full details. I placed those men under your care. You should be able to know what goes with the assignment." I growled, glaring
||Raven|| ***The second day of the heat and the day of the full moon***The heat was intense for a werewolf as compared to a human mated to a wolf. It had been over 24 hours and my heat was not slowing down. Zander and I have been at it over and over again with a maximum of 2 hours' rest … it was better every time Zander buried himself inside me.I swallowed at the thought of having Zander inside me and stared up into his face as he closed the bathroom door behind him.His delicious scent took over my senses and only this man could make me feel this way.He was all wet and bare, having only a towel hanging loose down his waist. My eyes made their way to the bulge underneath the towel and the outline of his member left only a little to imagine.My mate looked sexy and yummy and I wanted to eat him now …“ Now, how do you feel ?” My eyes snapped from his body into his face as he raised a brow smirking ….Shit, I was caught ogling at him.I cleared my throat, embarrassed, but answered h
|| Raven||"You are mine! " Athena growled and, as our power flared up in the air, she took advantage of it and took complete control over my body, pushing me back into her mind."You are mine too." Zander purred, his eyes twisted with interest as he stared at my wolf who was smirking at him ..." Are you going to stare at me all night?" Athena asked. " Sassy, I like it," he smirked."I try," Athena commented, and Zander chuckled with amusement etched into his eyes."Your eyes are beautiful, just like Raven's." Zander praised, staring into Athena's golden twinkling eyes.Athena giggled ..." Axel said the same thing to me when we first connected as mates .""Hmm... for the first time in forever that mutt is right about one thing " Zander uttered sarcastically...and Athena howled with laughter and placed her head on Zander's chest.My chest tightened.I was jealous that my wolf was spending time and touching my mate. "I have a witty mate."" You do??" Zander laughed." A very sexy one
|| Zander||I slowly opened my eyes to the sun and blinked multiple times and looked into the face of my mate, my love, my world.Her eyes were shut but I could see dark circles under her usually bright eyes.And even in her sleep , deep creases danced across her forehead. I was happy to feel that she was no longer sweaty and hot and the heat had broken, thank goddess.I brought my fingers up and gently traced them across her forehead to ease the tension. Raven's sapphire eyes snapped open and locked on mine…all I saw was love in them, just for me…“ Good morning little Wolf, “my voice was husky.“ Good morning my love.” She moaned, blinking and trying to keep her eyes open. “ I don’t consider this as sleep.”I chuckled at her remarks. "I am going back to the mansion to get some food. What do you care for?” I asked.“Whatever you are having. “ she whispered.“ And please come back soon. I don’t want to get cold in bed alone .” She added and drifted back to sleep.I didn’t blame her. T
