Unknown's POV'Aren't we there yet?' Raven asked. 'It is not far from here anymore,' I replied gritting my teeth. Her question was becoming annoying. She was a Luna wolf, I expected her to be strong.'You have been saying that for the past one hour. Your brothers will not be happy if they come back and I am not at your house,' Raven said and stopped walking.'I will handle my brothers. Besides, they won't be back before us,' I said and pulled her hand so that we could keep walking.Roman and Roy had dropped Raven off at our house that morning. They had said that they agreed for her to spend time with us because they believed my sister and I will not let anything happen to their mate. They wished! I had made sure to put sleeping drugs in my so called sister's drink when mum and dad left home. She slept off and I took Raven out of the house through the back without the knowledge of the guards.'What is that? Raven asked as the former palace came to view.'That is the former palace tha
Raven's POVI coughed harshly as I gradually came out of my restless sleep. I tried to move but it was impossible. My wolf vision was what was aiding me in the dark. I looked down at myself to realise that I was sitting on a chair with chains around my body. My hands were tied to the back and I couldn't move them at all. I kept wondering where I was. I tried to reach for Rave but it was as if she wasn't there at all. I reached into the mind link to reach out to my mates but it was cold in there as if I had never used the mind link before.I wondered what could have happened to me. I wondered how I got in the situation in the first place.Suddenly realization dawned, Emma! She was the one who brought me to the old palace. How can she do that? What did she stand to gain by hurting me. Hearing a sound outside the door, I immediately pretended as if I was still not awake yet.I expected the door to open but it didn't. Remembering what my mates had said about special hearing, I listened
Roy's POVI was going crazy, my wolf was going crazier. I was restless. I was sweaty. My mate and my sister were missing.'One of them obviously laced Selene's drink,' Uncle Marcus said.'Raven will never do that,' April said in defense of her friend.'And my sister will not try to poison me,' Selene said defending Emma.'Are you now saying Raven did it? My sister doesn't have an evil mind. She can't even hurt a fly,' April said to Selene angrily.'Are you trying to say Emma has evil mind? How dare you,' Selene said standing up from her seat, so did April. They were both surely going to start fighting.'If you both do not stop your rubbish right now, I am going to do something that will hurt you both,' I growled and that made them both stop and return to their seats. 'I know that we are all confused and angry but pointing accusing fingers wouldn't solve things. It will only complicate things,' dad said. Bella was in tears. If not for the turmoil I was going through, I would have com
Raven's POVI couldn't help the tears that cascaded down my face at the thought that I was deceiving my mates into believing that I was affected by the injection. I had no option it was the only way from preventing the crazy witch from killing me from overdose.I tried not to react when she lied about Emma not taking the injection as fairly as I had. I wished at that moment that I could shout and tell them that she was lying.She dropped the call and walked towards me. She laughed a little like a loony then grabbed my hair so that she could look me straight in the eyes. 'Let us hope that when I call your mates in an hour, they will have my diamonds ready, else you will bear the consequences,' she threatened and her guard let go of me. I dropped to the floor pretending as if I still had no control over my body. She and her guard left the room but not before he told the doctor to make sure he kept me alive till she was done with me. 'Do not try to move. They may be watching us from a
Roman's POVWe ran like we had gone wild in our wolves' form. I knew that Roy didn't like the idea of joining us later but we had to deceive her and make her believe that we were following her plans.How she thought we would just follow her instructions just because she thought she had us was beyond me. It shows she actually didn't do her research properly when she was planning going against us.She had assumed that taking our mate would make us weak and vulnerable. She thought wrong. We were worried about our mate but we also knew that thinking straight was the only thing that would save our mate's life. She will definitely kill her and probably us after she got what she wanted.I didn't know how much time it will take for our mate to succumb to the injection. It must have taken all her effort to make the connection she did. My heart ached at the thought of her in pain.I hardened my heart against the stabbing pain that I felt when her teary face flashed in my mind. I was going to ma
Raven's POVAnger, that was all I felt as I paced the hospital corridor. Roy was sitting on the floor holding his head in his hands. There was blood on his hands and body. He had carried Roman on his back all the way back to the pack.Selene held on to April as they both stood hurdled at the corner crying. April was trying her best to comfort her. The Luna and Bella both sat holding hands. Their faces bore deep sadness.Emma had stabbed Roman in his chest with a silver dagger. The fact that he made it back to the pack was a surprise. The doctor had knocked Emma out cold after she attacked Roman. She would have stabbed him the second time if she wasn't knocked out.Roy didn't wait to listen to any explanation or suggestions as he carried Roman on his back and ran with his wolf on the surface. I ran after him when I realized what he was doing. The doctor shifted into his wolf to enable him match Roy's speed. Some soldiers also joined us while some stayed back with Uncle Marcus and the
Roy's POVI couldn't bring myself to look Raven in the eyes. I knew she was hurting but I just couldn't bring myself to comfort her. A part of me was blaming her for deceiving us and going along with Emma's plans. I tried to stop the blame game but I couldn't. She should have been wiser. She shouldn't have fallen for her plans. Roman was like that because of her deceit. I walked out of the door telling her I wanted to get her a change of clothes and get myself cleaned up but those were just a part of why I was leaving. I was leaving her presence so that I could calm down, I didn't want to say something that I would later regret.'Roy,' Mum's voice called before I could open the car door. 'Mum. What is it?' I asked. I realized my voice was too sharp so I took a deep breath and apologised. 'I am sorry mum. I am just too wired up right now,' I said.'It is okay. You don't have to apologise. I understand that you are hurting,' mum said as she pulled me to the back of the car, probably
Raven's POVI opened my eyes wearily as I felt a hand gently shake me awake. I felt so tired and I almost told the person to go away but my eyes opened to see the former Luna smiling sadly at me. 'I am sorry to interrupt your sleep. You are bound to have body pains if you continue dosing in this position,' she said.The memory of where I was came to me and I sat straight in my chair. 'Roman,' I said as I put a hand on his chest.'He is obviously still sleeping. We...' She was cut short when the doctor came in accompanied by two other doctors and a nurse.'Good morning, Lunas,' the doctor greeted.'Good morning, doctor,' we greeted and I became nervous waiting for the doctor to say something.'Please you might have to excuse us. We need to examine the Alpha,' the doctor said and we nodded. I kept looking back at Roman until I left the room. I was surprised to see that Bella and April were sitting outside the door. April placed her head on Bella's shoulder while Bella sat there starin
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
