Raven's POVI watched as Roy, Roman, and Selene came downstairs for dinner after April had gone to call them. Bella had asked me to go and call them to come for dinner but I had refused. If Bella found my reluctance strange, she didn't say anything. I didn't want to make myself go through any emotional pain that night. It had been a busy day and I didn't want to have any reason to twist and turn on that beautiful bed unable to sleep.Roy would have something bad to say to me and Roman wasn't in my corner at that moment. Selene would be the only person who would probably be okay with seeing my face. So why go where I was not wanted? 'Mum said she would come visit you tomorrow,' Selene said as she pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table. 'Why would mum want to come visit, she left here the day we left for Attic Moon,' Roy said looking at his sister suspiciously.'I might have mentioned the fact that you have guests at your house,' Selene said shrugging.'Who asked you to
Roman's POVI stormed into our home office fuming. I couldn't believe she knew that she was our mate and acted as if she didn't know.I knew my past experience with one vile woman's evil manipulation was affecting me at that moment but I just couldn't control myself.Roy had seen me storm by and followed me. I sensed him before he got close to the office door. 'This is the second time today that you will be in a foul mood. What is it this time?' Roy asked when he got into the office.'She Knows. Damn it,' I said trying to control myself. I didn't want to play the whole thing to Roy from the manipulation point of view.'She knows what? And by she, do you mean Raven?' Roy asked.'Yes. I mean Raven.''She knows what?' Roy asked again.'She knows we are her mates,' I answered.'I thought her wolf was too weak to perceive us,' Roy said.'I thought so too,' I said.'Are you angry because she knows?' Roy asked.'Yes. No. I don't even know why I am angry,' I said frowning.'You might be angr
Raven's POVI woke up with a start. The same dream that had plagued me for a while was what woke me. I looked around in confusion at the room I was in. How did I get here? I asked myself.'You are at Luna's Den. Remember?' My wolf said.I sighed in relief as the memory of my journey down to Luna's Den with Roy and Roman the previous day came back to me.I had not communicated with my wolf since Roy and Roman were constantly around.'Raven. I thought you would never come out around here!' I said. 'I was just being careful not to trigger the senses of Roy and Roman about my presence,' she explained.'I don't even know what to feel Rave. What if they reject me for being an Omega? What happens then?' I asked.'They can't reject you. The twins are not my worry but we need to know those that are around them so that we can know who to trust,' Rave explained.'Roman might find it difficult to reject me but Roy won't hesitate to do it,' I said sighing tiredly.'We cannot let them know who we
Roy's POVI watched as Raven marched upstairs without giving me a backward glance. I stared after her till she disappeared from sight. She held her head high like she didn't give a damn what I thought.When April and Bella had come to sit in the dining, I waited for her to join us but she didn't. 'Where is Raven?' Selene had asked when Bella and April were seated.'She will not be joining us,' Bella replied quietly and had her seat without offering further explanation.I didn't want to question Bella. I didn't want to make it obvious that her absence bothered me.'Did Raven tell you why she will not be joining us for breakfast?' I had asked Roman through the mind link. 'No. She is not talking to me. I knocked at her door last night but she refused to open,' Roman explained sadly.I was not okay as I viewed her absence as unsettling. Ryker, my wolf too wouldn't let me sit still and I could see the unhappiness on Roman's face. I decided to take it upon myself and go look for her but
Raven's POVI made it to my room and smiled triumphantly. Bella had said the only thing that would give the twins a wake-up call was if they felt threatened. I had not expected Roy to show up. In fact, I had wanted Roman to show up. His anger the previous day was baseless. They were as guilty as I was about concealing the truth. I removed my slippers and lay on the bed. My stomach rumbled and I nearly regretted not eating my food while I waited for one of them to come into the kitchen to complain that I was not eating with them on the dining table. I decided to wait until they all left the dining and kitchen respectively before I went back to eat whatever I could find.After about thirty minutes of just lying there doing nothing, I decided that I couldn't take the hunger anymore. If I ran into either of the twins, I would just ignore them. Just as I stood up, a soft knock came at my door and I smiled thinking it was Bella. I rushed to the door to open it with a smile on my face.
Raven's POV I waited for ten minutes before I left my room. I heard laughter from the sitting room as I descended the stairs. I got to the sitting room to see Bella serving an older version of Selene juice. April was nowhere in sight. Neither were Roy and Roman. 'Mum this is Raven, she is Bella's daughter.' 'Come, come, come,' the older version of Selene said pleasantly. I walked briskly to her side as she stood up to give me a warm hug. 'How are you ma'am?' I asked. 'I am fine my darling. It is nice to meet you,' she said smiling at me pleasantly. I was surprised when I looked into her eyes. They were the greenest eye color I had ever seen on any wolf. How could her eyes be that green? I had only heard of green-eyed wolves from fairy tales about Lycan kings and royalties. She noticed my surprise and looked confused before she realized what must have caused my look of awe. 'Oh. I am sorry my dear. My eyes must have startled you,' she said as she let go of me and sat do
Raven's POVMy heart palpated so fast as I opened the door to see the former Luna standing at my door. After Roman left, I decided that I wasn't going back downstairs. I doubted if I would be able to control my emotions around them anymore. I wasn't ready for the questioning looks that were likely to follow my inability to face either of the twins.I was trying to arrange the shelf in my room for want of something to do when the knock came at the door. Honestly, I had wished it was Bella but I was more than surprised to see the former Luna standing there looking regal and beautiful.'I amm I am ah...' I stammered as I didn't know exactly what to say to her.'Can I come in? I need to talk to you about something very important,' she asked without a trace of the welcoming smile that I had seen when I first met her downstairs.'Yes ma'am,' I said quickly leaving the door wide open so that she could step into the room. I closed the door behind me. And nervously offered her a seat on the
Roy's POV'Why do I feel suddenly reluctant to leave the house?' Roman asked immediately after I entered our study. 'Our mate is here Roman. It is only natural that we feel reluctant to leave her to herself,' I said as I took a seat opposite him. He was sitting on the chair behind the table. He was frowning and I knew why. He liked to get a handle on things but I guess our mate's issue is one thing he hasn't gotten a handle on in years.'She is not alone. She has Bella and April here with her. Besides mum, Selene and Emma will be here until dinner,' Roman reasoned.'Tell that to Ryker here,' I said pointing to my head. 'I had to quickly vacate her room when I went there just now to check up on her. Ryker wanted her in his arms and he wanted to do some other things that he easily projected into my mind.' Roman laughed at me before saying 'Now you know exactly what I am going through.' 'Mum was in her room when I got there,' I said.'What? What were they talking about? Did you ask R
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
