Raven's POVI sat by Roman's hospital bed feeling unhappy and gloomy. It had been three days since he moved and I connected with Ralph. Ever since then there had been no changes. The doctors said his wound was healing and they didn't know why he was still not yet awake. They repeated the scan on his wound and reassured us that it was seventy percent healed.I looked at his peacefully handsome sleeping face and tears filled my eyes at how white he still looked. The doctors had to fix a tube to feed him with the day before.'Why aren't you waking up Roman? Are you still angry with me? Are you still in pain? What is holding you back in there?' I asked playing with his fingers.'I think he must have met a beautiful female wolf in there that is keeping him busy,' Roy said from the door smiling sheepishly at me.'It is not funny Roy. I wish I could enter into his head and see what is keeping him.' 'I know Raven and I am not trying to make trivial this situation but if I was the one lying
Raven's POVIt was as if the car was not moving fast enough or I should say Roy was intentionally driving slowly. 'Can you go faster?' I asked him when I decided that I had had enough of his slow movement.'I am having a second thought about taking you there. I don't think you need to see that part of the pack,' Roy said glancing at me briefly before he continued driving.'I am a part of this pack now. Why shouldn't I know everything about this pack?' I asked raising a brow at hi'The dungeon is not for the light hearted,' Roy said.'I am not light hearted. I have been through some major shit in my life and I know that life is not a bed of roses,' I said. 'Ok then. If you believe you can stomach everything you will see there. But please Roman must not hear that I took you to the dungeon, at least not until he is strong enough to fight me,' Roy said grinning.'Ok. But why are you smiling?' I asked when I noticed his grin. 'You know that I was only giving you hope about him ever waki
Raven's POV'The gut of that witch,' Roy fumed as we entered the house. He was angry all the way home. It was so bad that we didn't say anything to each other at all. Roy had a temperament that was lethal. I used to be afraid of his anger but since I knew he would never deliberately hurt me, I had relaxed around him either he was angry or not.I walked up to him and hugged him from the back. I rested my head on his back and placed my palms on his chest. I could feel his heart beating fast. 'You need to calm down Roy. You know your anger makes me uncomfortable,' I said quietly.He cursed under his breath, took deep breaths and removed my hands from his chest before turning to me. 'I am sorry Raven, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just hate the fact that she thought she could be released because she is affiliated to this family,' Roy said trying to control his anger.'Please calm down, my love,' I said rubbing my hands on his beard. 'You look more handsome when you are ang
Roy's POVI drove to the dungeon on top speed. My mind was preoccupied with the fact that Emma's escape from the prison was a danger to everyone associated with her arrest. I got into the building and almost didn't park before getting out of the car. 'Alpha, I am sorry that ...' The head guard who had led Raven and I to Emma's cell earlier started apologizing.'Save your apologies until later. What I want to know is how she got out,' I said livid.'The thing is that one of...' The head guard was once again interrupted by the opening of the gate as a car drove in. It was dad's car. He was actually the one who mind linked me about Emma's escape. The head guard must have been afraid to tell me or Roman directly so he decided to tell him instead.Dad, Uncle Marcus and Roman came down from the car. Roman, what was he doing there? He was supposed to stay at the hospital and be taken care of. 'Roman, what are you doing here?' I asked through gritted teeth. 'I have a pack to take care of
Raven's POV'Raven you need to sit down. They will be here soon,' Bella said trying to make me sit down for the umpteenth time.'I can't sit Bella. Emma tried to kill Roman the last time. What if she tries to kill Roy now?' I asked bitting my nail and peering out of the window on intervals.'They didn't know then that she was dangerous but they know now. Roy will be careful,' Bella said. 'You are worried about Roy. Have you thought about the fact that Emma might be coming for you this time?' April asked raising a brow.'Don't scare her, April,' Bella chided.'I am just trying to make her stop worrying about her mate,' April said shrugging.'By bringing the worry to herself?' Bella hissed lightly.April and I started laughing at Bella's expression. She looked so displeased with April that her eyes looked comical. 'So now you can laugh?' Bella asked me. 'We do that to each other all the time Bella. When the other is worried about something we try to distract the person by saying some
Roy's POV'What is going on between you and Raven? I saw that she was trying to give you the coldest shoulder she could muster,' Roman said as he came out of the shower looking tired.'I messed up,' I said and Roman rolled his eyes. 'It wasn't my fault. I was still all riled up about Emma's death and I slipped about you being there; she started saying things and I snapped at her,' I said defending my action.Raven had given me cold shoulders all through dinner. She didn't try to look at me at all. I intentionally fixed my eyes on her but she refused to look at me. After dinner she had excused herself and went with April to her room. I asked if she was going to be spending the night in April's room, she gave me a very cold 'No' for an answer.I wouldn't deny the fact that it made me angry that I almost followed her to April's room to demand what her problem was but I didn't, it would only make matters worse.'If Raven is giving you a cold shoulder then you must have really snapped,' R
Raven's POVI tried to stretch my body as I came awake but it was impossible. It was as if I was placed in the middle of two heat generating walls. I opened my eyes properly and gazed at Roman. I had placed my head on his chest to sleep the night before but somehow during the night, I had changed position and was sleeping side by side facing him with my back to Roy's solid front. He was so peacefully asleep. My heart soared at the fact that he was mine. I touched his face gently and carefully kissed him on his lips. I smiled when he didn't stare thinking I got away with that. Roy stirred behind me digging his nose deeper into my neck. I wandered if he was awake or just doing it sleepily until he spoke.'If Roman deserves a good morning kiss don't I too deserve to get one?' Roy asked kissing my neck.I smiled as I turned to him. He looked so handsome with his eyes half closed. I placed a hand on his cheek and kissed him on the lips. Before I could remove my lips, Roy changed the ang
Raven's POV'Selene,' I called into the dark room. The curtains were down and the light was off.I had been downstairs talking to my parents and my mates' parents for close to two hours without Selene anywhere in sight. I had asked about her and my mates' mum had said she was upstairs in her room. She had refused to come downstairs.Emma's betrayal affected everyone but it would be a tad harder for Selene because Emma was her only friend.I remembered asking of her friends one day during her visit to our house and she had simply replied that Emma's friends were her friends and Emma was her best friend. So I understood how painful it must be for her. I excused myself saying I will want to talk to Selene. As I peered into the room, I was not expecting her to be happy and smiling but I didn't expect that it would be that dark.Despite the fact that it was broad daylight outside, it was dark in Selene's room. I remembered having complained about her dark curtains one day when I visited.
Roy's POVSix Years Later 'Kaden, Kyle if you both don't come out this minute, I will skin you both alive when I eventually get my hands on you' I heard Raven shout for our five years old twins to come out of their hiding place. I was in the study and had deliberately left the door open because the kids kept coming into the study to disturb me. Instead of getting distracted by them each time they opened the door, I left it open so they could come and go as they liked.I rolled my eyes. Whatever they had done had surely gotten on her nerves seriously. Our twins were hand full. They got Roman's disposition and every moment was like a means to have fun.I stood up from the chair, pushed what I was doing aside, and walked into the corridor. 'Darling, the entire palace can hear you shout. What is the problem this time?' I asked as I walked towards her.'Daddy,' Tessa our three-year-old daughter called and ran to embrace me.'That is my favorite girl,' I said as I picked her up. She had
Raven's POVTwo Months After Coronation 'Wake up darling,' Roy said as he shook me by the shoulder.I grumbled for him to let me be. I couldn't sleep all night due to their constant sexual demands. What he could do in the least was allow me sleep for as long as I wanted. 'Go away Roy. I am tired. I need to sleep,' I said and I heard Roman chuckle from somewhere in the room. 'You are just being lazy. You asked for it and we gave you what you wanted,' Roman said.'I didn't ask for anything,' I grumbled as I buried myself deeper into the pillows.I felt a side of the bed deep and I knew one of them had gotten into bed with me. I didn't open my eyes still. I wanted to sleep. 'What do you call the way you were looking at us and sending pictures of your nude self into the link?' Roman asked getting closer to me.'It is called seduction. Next time if you are not ready for something, don't start it,' Roy said slapping me hard in the ass. I grudgingly sat in bed, glaring at the both of th
Roman's POV'Hey, are you okay?' I asked Raven as I saw her standing alone in the garden looking lost in thought. 'I am fine,' she answered raising her head to look at me smiling. I noticed that the smile didn't reach her eyes. She seemed happy some moments ago. It was two weeks after the coronation and we had settled into our roles as the kings and queen. It wasn't a bed of roses though but we got by. It was way different from being an Alpha. While we were Alphas, we only had to take care of our pack but we now have the burden of the welfare of a whole nation resting on our shoulders. It was a lot to bear as I have started to realize but as far as we are together, we will be alright. I pulled her to me and wrapped my hands around her, teasingly dropping a kiss on one of our marks. I felt her shiver with excitement in my hands. Her response to us excited me to no end. She was indeed ours. 'Do you think I will believe the fact that nothing is wrong? You left Roy and I inside and
Raven's POVI patiently sat as the make up artist and hair stylist did their thing. To say I was happy was an understatement. I never aspired for anything, I just wanted to live each day as it comes. But the universe obviously had another plan for me.Yes it was the coronation day, I was going to become the queen of the wolf's kingdom. I Raven a mere Omega that was trampled upon by other Omegas and pack members back at Attic Moon.'The make up is not yet done and you look so beautiful already,' Selene gushed as she walked into the room looking beautiful herself.'You look beautiful Selene,' I said honestly. 'Thank you. Wait until you see April. I just wish I had her type of skin,' Selene said dreamily.'Your skin is beautiful too Selene,' I said smiling at her.'Don't tell me that.That natural tan is everything, believe me,' Selene replied sitting down on the bed opposite me.'Your skin is beautiful and so also is April's,' I said. 'Did somebody mention my name?' April asked popping
Raven's POVI swallowed hard as I gazed at my mates standing side by side shirtless, everything I had wanted to say, flew from my mind. All they had on was their boxer briefs and that was even short. 'I thought you would be used to seeing us naked by now,' Roman said grinning like he knew exactly what effect that image had on my mind.I blinked several times and then closed my eyes to ward off the effect of that scene on my brain. 'You don't have to fight it my love, let the feeling come through, you want us,' Roy said into my ears and I shivered. I didn't know when he got that close. I heard the door close behind me. I had not closed it when I came in because of the assault of the scene before me on my senses. 'I don't mind that you are closing your eyes but I just love seeing those beautiful eyes when we pleasure you,' Roman said from behind me into my other ear. The heat from the both of them was so soothing that I just stood there with my eyes closed and let them undress me.
Raven's POV'Are you guys sure Adrian doesn't have personality disorder?' I asked because I was surprised that such a person who laughed so easily and warmed hearts while at it was capable of just switching into another character like that. 'Does Roman too have personality disorder?' Roy asked instead of answering my question.'What do you mean?' I asked.'No one should drag me into this, Adrian is Adrian while I am me,' Roman said defensively.'What are you talking about Roy?' I asked refusing to let go of the matter. 'Why not remove the love from your eyes and look at your mate closely. He is as good natured as our dear best friend but when crossed, they forget their good nature, they forget the happy go lucky guy they are and deal with the situation appropriately,' Roy said. 'Are you saying that the way Adrian handled that matter was appropriate,' I asked Roy looking at him open mouthed.'I had not expected him to go that way but it was what he thought appropriate. I wanted to s
Raven's POV'How about you dump these old fools and run away with me Raven?' Adrian asked making me smile as Roy and Roman growled at him.'I would have loved to do that but I don't like play boys and you top the chart you know,' I said and Adrian winced.'That hurts,' Adrian said pouting.'That is what you get for being so playful,' Roman said glaring at Adrian.'So can you now tell me how and why your eyes decided to take the color of your wolves and how come Raven has the same eye color as yours?' Adrian asked.He had been going on and on about our eye color ever since he woke up but Roman had kept telling him to become stronger first before he could tell him anything. Roman didn't tell him anything the first day he woke up just so that we were sure that the worse was over. Roman sighed as Roy nodded at him to go ahead. Roman told Adrian everything. From the fact that they had always known they were born to rule and the fact that they are actually kings now.'All we are waiting f
Raven's POV'I think you and Raven should go back to Luna's Den,' Roman said to Roy.'We can't possibly leave you here all alone,' Roy replied.'I am not here alone. Adrian's parents are here. You need to go check on Carl and we also have piles of work waiting at the pack,' Roman said.'I am not leaving you here,' I said to Roman and both my mates turned to me. 'I want you where you are comfortable Raven, please go with Roy,' Roman pleaded. 'No. I am comfortable here,' I insisted.It's been two days and Adrian hadn't opened his eyes. We were in his hospital room. He looked so peaceful and harmless sleeping like that.The effect of the wolf's bane was beginning to wear off as his wounds were healing. The doctor had said there were drugs in his system. He was drugged before he was injected with wolf's bane.'I haven't accepted to go back to Luna's Den without the both of you,' Roy said to me.'Whatever it is, I am not leaving Roman here alone,' I said stubbornly.'But you can leave me
Raven's POVI followed Roman all the way to the end of the hall into the room he opened. There was a male with bruises on his face lying chest up on the bare floor. 'Adrian,' Roman called as he went one knee to lift his head up. I could see from where I was standing that he was still breathing but his scent wasn't very strong.'His scent is weak,' I said.'Only one thing can be responsible for that, wolf's bane,' Roy said from behind me.'What do we do now? With the way he is breathing, he might not make it back to Luna's Den,' Roman said looking very worried.'There was a method I learnt when I was in Attic Moon. It was used to save people who were injected with wolfs' bane. Most Omegas know the method. But I don't know if your friend here was injected or he ingested it,' I said frowning.'We need to find out what happened then. I will mind link one of the soldiers to...' Roman stopped talking as his eyes clouded over, he was mind linking someone, ' Good,' he said when he was throug
