Raven's POV I woke up with a muffled scream, I looked around my room to discover that the candle I took from the pantry had burned out. I was sweating profusely. I just woke up from a nightmare which looked like reality. The same dream had been plaguing my dream for long. My name is Raven. I am seventeen years old. I belong to the Attic Moon pack, I don't have parents. Yes, I was raised by the kitchen hands in my pack Alpha's house. Everybody tried their best to avoid me, they say I bring bad luck everywhere I go. According to what I heard in the kitchen sometimes when Sonia the meanest of all the kitchen girls decides to mock me. I was found one morning at the door step of the pack's Gamma. The Gamma had brought me to the Alpha and they had tried to use my skin color and scent to trace my pack but it was never discovered. I was named Raven because of the raven feather that was found in the blanket that I was wrapped with. The first kitchen hand I was handed over to died w
Raven's POV 'You are still here?' My best and only friend, April asked as she walked into one of the soldiers' quarters where I was assigned to clean. 'I woke up tired this morning and I don't know why I am quite so sluggish,' I replied sighing tiredly 'Are you through with your work?' 'Yes, I am through. Let me help you so you can finish on time,' she took hold of the duster and started helping me dust. 'Thank you April,' I said hugging her. 'You don't have to thank me. You have helped me too on several occasions,' she said returning my hug. We worked in perfect silence. April hummed softly to herself. She did that each time she was working. April and her mum were the only two people in the pack who saw me as normal. Their hut was directly opposite mine when I was assigned a hut after my last guardian died. Her mother did not verbally adopt me. She had found me outside my assigned hut crying at night and took me into theirs and fed me. April and I had become friend
Raven's POV I woke up the following day with a better mood. I wasn't going to allow the Luna and Maggot dampen my morale that week. If I could not get a deserving birthday celebration, I could at least be allowed to be happy before and on my day. I would be eighteen in two days and finally get to meet my wolf. No matter how weak or small it was going to be, I was ready to accept it. My wolf will be an addition to what I could call mine. I already had Bella and April, but with my wolf joining the train I was going to be very happy. I walked into the Omegas' meeting room to wait for those I would be cleaning with. I wasn't happy with the heavy burden placed on me but I had no option. If I refused to work then I might face more dire consequences. 'What is this curse doing here?' Lina one of the Omega girls asked once she entered the meeting room. 'Who knows. Maybe she is here to make her curse pour on the ground like rain,' another girl said. 'I just hope she is not in the group,'

Raven's POVApril and I couldn't talk about anything else but the ball. We were excited because we were in the group that would do the final clean up.We could get things like clothes and even if you are lucky gold chains or bracelet that can be sold in exchange for money and that meant money to enjoy with.The rich spend lavishly. Some even deliberately give you money when you help clean the room they slept and carried their luggage to their cars. It is also rumored that some Omega girls sleep with people who come from other packs for money. Lina and her friend Queen had been accused of the act often times. But since there was no rule against doing that, no one has ever said anything against them.It was also rumored that Luna Laura offered some of the girls to visiting Alphas and other high ranking officers from other packs. It was all rumored, none established. April had once said that none of the girls Luna Laura used would dare to tell anyone since all the Omegas knew exactly w
Raven's POVEverywhere was agog with people going and coming. The kitchen was busy. I had taken time to wash my dress in order to ensure that I looked presentable. The whole pack was ready for the ball that would happen later in the day.Guests had started arriving in beautiful cars and attires that would make one salivate and wish for a better life.I was in the middle of hard work, so I had no time to admire people. I couldn't afford to get caught staring at guests.In the process of arranging dishes into a rack, Maggot had come into the kitchen informing me that the Luna wanted to see me. I asked Maggot where the Luna would be and she answered with disdain that the Luna was in the general waiting room. My heart was in my mouth as I walked towards the general waiting room. I knocked gently on the door and I heard someone tell me to open the door and come in.I entered to see the Luna sitting down like the royalty that she was on a sofa. The sofa was green in colour and it contrast
Raven's POVI stayed in my hut the rest of the day. I waited for April to return from whatever chores she was doing around the pack. My heart was in turmoil. I was angry with my wolf.How can she insist that we stayed till the end of the ball? I couldn't help but doubt her words about her being powerful. I kept a strong lid on our link so that she would not try to communicate with me. 'Raven, are you in there?' I heard April's mum call from outside.My heart immediately started racing. I wasn't expecting her back yet. Of course she was assigned kitchen duties and I knew she was supposed to come home and clean up before it was time to start serving the guest. I was not expecting her to be back soon.I opened the door and met her at the entrance of her own hut.'You are back so early,' I said trying to keep my emotions out of my voice.'Yes. That would be because I told Maggot that I had to ease myself,' she said.'I see. Where is April? I have been waiting for her all day?' I asked, t
Raven's POVI stood near the general waiting room nervous and scared witless. I didn't know what the consequences of what I did earlier would be.I had stayed indoors all through. When I was sure the ball would have started, I left the room and walked to the kitchen wearing two clothes. I wore the one the Luna gave me first then I put my Omega uniform on it.My plan was to pull the uniform off when the time was right to go to the general waiting room.I knew that the Luna instructed me to come to the general waiting room after the ball but I couldn't stay still.Besides I wanted to at least have the image of Bella in my head as I die. The kitchen was full of Omegas running helter skelter to get things done. I looked around sadly. I should have been in the kitchen trying to get things done but I was picked by the Luna to do a special duty that was more dangerous than asking me to walk into a raging fire.With a raging fire, I know what awaits me but with the Luna's special duty, I do
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
