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.
Romans' POV'We need to put a lot of things in place before the new palace can be said to be ready,' Roy said as we ate lunch at our parents' table.'You haven't allowed anyone to visit that place,' Selene mumbled. 'It is not fully set up yet,' I said to her but she only shrugged and continued eating.I was very happy when Selene came downstairs with Raven. She had even been able to smile. Even if it was not her usual bright smile, it was a good thing that she was okay.It would obviously take time getting used to not having Emma around, and getting over her betrayal would take more but it wasn't going to hold us down the way her mother's betrayal did.'When are the elders arriving?' Dad asked.'They should be here by tomorrow,' Roy answered.The elders of the wolf council knew who we were. We had approached them three years before about our intention to build another palace. They had been elated with the fact that the Royal blood had not extincted as they had thought.According to t
Raven's POVI looked at my eyes in the mirror for the umpteenth time the following morning. I had thought that maybe my eye color would return during the night but it didn't.'You keep staring at yourself in the mirror Raven.You have been standing there for almost ten minutes. Can I ask why?' Roy asked coming to stand behind me.'I had thought that my eye color would return during the night but it hadn't,' I said looking into his eyes through the mirror.'Why will you want it to return?' Roy asked drawing me into him while maintaining our eye contact through the mirror.'When people look at me at the very first glance, they will know who I am,' I said pouting. 'You don't want that because?' Roy asked raising a brow.'Because I don't like being the center of attention,' I answered.Roy sighed and rolled his eyes before he turned me around to face him.'Look at me Raven,' Roy said and raised my face to him. 'You are going to become a queen very soon. Wolves from far and near will come
Raven's POVRoy was the first to fix his own piece of the diamond to the iron plate. When he placed the piece close to the iron plate, it stopped rotating long enough for him to gently fix the tip into the plate.Roy took a step back as the piece came alive. It was shining as if someone switched on a bright green light inside it as the plate started rotating again. Roman nodded at me to go ahead and do mine. I stepped forward and just like Roy had done, the plate also stopped for me. I could then see that every piece had its place in the plate.I fixed mine and the two pieces fused together with no traces of ever being seperated before. I gasped in surprise as I stepped back to stand beside Roy.I suddenly felt stronger. I couldn't explain how but I felt it inside me. Rave was staring inside me and standing tall. I felt like royalty, I felt as if I should be obeyed. Roman approached the table and fixed his piece too. The room was suddenly lit with green. 'Wow this so beautiful,' I
Roy's POV'Stay with your parents here at the palace, Raven. You will be safe here,' Roman said placing a hand on Raven's shoulder to stop her from getting out of the door. 'So that you both can go out and have all the fun?' Raven asked smiling mischievously with her eyes shinning brighter.She looked strange. Her voice was different but I had thought that could be as a result of her wolf coming to the surface in defence of her pack.'Raven. It might be dangerous out there, I don't want you there. You have to stay where it is safe,' Roman insisted.'Why are we standing here wasting time while enemies match on our pack?' Raven asked instead of saying anything about what Roman just said.'I don't think...' Roman was saying but I raised my hand to stop him from further arguing with her. Roman was already prepared for the war and the only thing he was thinking at that moment was to keep our mate safe. He obviously didn't notice the difference.'Rave is that you' I asked staring into her
Romans' POV'We promised that there will be no secret between us right?' I asked Raven as I held her face in my hands.'I am sorry for keeping everything from you. My wolf and I were just getting to talk about it when this fight of a thing happened. I wanted to get to the root of it all first before I told you.' 'You should have at least said something,' Roy said maintaining his seat on the sofa.We had just had our bath and changed into the clothes we were given. I decided that it was better to talk to Raven before we went downstairs to join our family for dinner. Raven gently removed my hand from her face and walked towards Roy where he was seated.'I am sorry Row. The day we went to visit my parents at your parents' house was the first day my wolf and I started talking about who we really are. The speed I showed that day wasn't normal so I asked her and she started explaining bit by bit as she got her memory back,' Raven said but Roy still didn't raise his head. Raven stopped in
Roy's POV'Are you saying you don't remember much of what happened before your death?' Dad asked Raven who was frowning hard as if she was trying to remember something that was quite elusive.Raven's wolf was on the surface and I could feel her and her green eyes shined brighter. I knew she was frustrated with the fact that she couldn't remember anything. I could feel her frustration in the bond. 'I don't remember anything that happened before my death. All I can remember was that as I breathed my last, one thing kept coming to my mind, I had to find Ryker and Ralph in my next life,' she answered.When she mentioned Ryker and Ralph, my wolf stood at alert and wagged his tail happily as electricity went directly to my spine when her hand touched me. I still didn't understand why my wolf seemed to be under her total control. Just the mention of Ryker's name and my wolf almost took control out of my hands.'My wolf doesn't remember anything that has to do with Queen Leticia. If there w
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
