Shit, I was running late!
Last night I hadn’t been able to sleep properly and I was paying for it now! I ran down the stairs three at a time, jumping down the final six and was about to rush to the door when Dad stepped out of the living room.
"This is a house and I would appreciate you treating it like one." He said curtly.
"I'm getting late, sorry!" I said hurrying to the kitchen and going to the fridge to grab a water bottle. I was about to reach for one when Dad snapped the fridge shut, missing my fingers by inches.
I moved back, my heart skipping a beat as I looked at Dad, who was staring at me with a cold glare on his face. I glanced at Mom who turned her back on me and busied herself with making breakfast.
"This is my house and as long as you are living under my roof, you will obey my rules and that includes letting boys into your room."
"Ok."
I didn’t have time for this, I needed to ask Liam or Uncle El wh

RAVEN I wasn’t expecting that. No matter if she did know, I still wasn’t expecting her to apologise to me. More than that, did that mean Damon had told her? "I just want you to know we have ended things." She said twisting one of the several delicate rings she wore on her fingers. I didn’t know what to say, our situation as a whole, was a mess. "I don’t know why you two aren’t together, but he is a really selfless, caring person. He’ll treat you great." She smiled. Come on, I was the queen of fake smiles and I could see right through hers. She was in pain thanks to that dimwit and here she was telling me that Damon was good enough for me. I felt sad for her. I know the mate bond played a part for me, but I also know that love without the bond existed. It was what I had felt for Liam for years. I was scared he’d find his mate. "One bird to another, men are idiots." I said with a crooked smile. She frowned for a second befo

RAVEN Liam had told Taylor and me to return to the party whilst he and Zack dealt with the body. Damon had gone off to see if there were any traces or anything left behind. Although we returned to the lively party with upbeat songs playing, I still felt glum. ‘So... You know about Zack and I.’ Taylor said through the link as he passed me a beer bottle. I looked at him and nodded. ‘Why haven’t you gone public or accepted the bond?’ I asked, unable to resist. Taylor looked pained; his eyes were fixed on a spot in the distance. ‘Zack doesn’t want anyone to know yet, he said he needs time.’ Well, even I was surprised that they were mates, but now that I knew, I could just see how perfect they could be. I stepped up to Taylor and hugged him tightly. ‘I'm here if you need to talk. I know you have a lot going on, yet you’re still smiling.’ ‘Isn’t that what you do to?’ He asked softly, looking down at me, concer

RAVEN Brother? I couldn’t focus on Dad. I was confused, what brother? "…useless, unwanted... Just leave, I don’t want to see you here…" I looked at Mom, who looked upset but I didn’t know what to make of it. "What brother?" I asked. "Like you need to know." Dad spat. So, he wasn’t going to discuss it, fine. "Ok… Don’t tell me. I'm out." I said, grabbing the first of my two suitcases and carrying them out. Dad picked up the next two and tossed them out. I heard something break, and with it, it felt like something inside of me was breaking. Mom just stood there whilst Dad was just raging with anger. "I never knew I had a brother… and clearly you guys don’t want to tell me so fine. But I do want to say one thing before I go… You said you lost your son because of me… I'm sorry for that, even though I have no idea what I have done, but I hope you do realise you are also losing the only child you do ha

RAVEN My heart pounded as I stared up at him, his words ringing in my ears. Liam loved me… Yes, although I had a connection with both him and Damon even before the bond, I had loved Liam for far longer... Until Damon’s father had passed away. Then I began to spend that time with Damon and I realised he too was special. But now that the bond was there, I needed to do this the right way... Even if Damon had been able to move on in my absence, I wasn’t him, I needed to discuss stuff first… It stung painfully. "Liam... Can I ask you something?" I asked, pulling out of his hold. He didn’t reply, but I knew I had his attention. "In the three years, we were apart... Have you…I mean, I know we weren’t together, but was there anyone?" I asked quietly. I don’t know why I asked, the fear that he may have, would crush me. I needed something, some sign that at least someone wanted me. My parents clearly regretted having me, my mates didn’t

LIAM Seriously? “Don’t look at me like that, is there a problem?” Mom asked, cocking a brow. I swear she had that attitude of a feisty lioness and if you get on her bad side… “No, I just thought it’s a fucking family day?” “Yeah family, and they are our family.” Mom said, for a moment she looked concerned. “Liam… talk to me.” “Isn’t that what I'm doing?” I asked glancing out the kitchen window, where dad was pushing Azura on the swing. It fucking hurt seeing him so much quieter, losing Uncle Raf really did fucking do a number on him. “You know what I mean.” Mom said shoving an electric whisk into my hand and a bowl full of powder and milk. “Yeah, well time changes people.” “Yes, but you never said what happened.” She said as she began slicing the puff pastry before she began spooning in the tuna and cheese filling. Mom was an incredible cook, her and Kiara both were… “Nothing happened.” I

DAMON The tension that had built vanished the moment Azura spoke, replaced by shock. Everyone had frozen, Aunty Red’s cheeks burned, a rare sight actually, but Uncle El simply smirked. A small giggle from Raven made me glance at her. Although her cheeks were flushed, she was finding this amusing. "Yeah, it doesn’t work like that." Uncle El said pointedly to a very confused Azura. "And you two need to be careful, there’s a kid in the damn house." Liam muttered. "I’ll remind you of that when your time comes." Aunty Red shot back. That made Liam tense and Raven’s heart skip a beat. ‘I mean it, I want you both to sort your shit out. This pack needs their leadership united.’ His voice came through the link. I knew we both could hear him. ‘Understood.’ I said, making sure Liam could hear too. I wanted to sort this shit out, I really fucking did. I glanced at Raven. She looked hot. There was something a

RAVEN "Kia!" I exclaimed, running over to her. She rushed forward and we both hugged each other tightly. "We weren’t expecting you." Liam said, lifting Dante up. "It’s a surprise." He said, as if this wasn’t obvious. I smiled, oh goddess that kid was cute. Al shook hands with Liam whilst giving Damon a curt nod. I had video called Al after his brother had passed away, but I didn’t go, knowing they needed time with both their own families. I didn’t want to go and make Liam stay away. I bent over looking at the two adorable dumplings that I just wanted to gobble up completely. They were soo cute! "Kia you make cute babies! Ah, they are even cuter than the last time I saw them." "Hun, I sent you a picture of them just two days ago." Kiara said, hugging Liam tightly. "Hmm nope, still cuter than ever." I whispered, caressing Skyla’s cheek. "Alpha Alejandro, Kia." Damon said. "Hey, Damon." Kiar
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 19. A Surprise
RAVEN I stepped into my bedroom with a small towel wrapped around me, towelling my hair with a second towel when I froze, seeing both Damon and Liam standing there. Arms crossed, both shirtless, their gazes fixed on me. My heart was racing as I stared at them. What the hell was going on? "What…" My words died on my lips when they both approached me. Liam pulled me close, sending sparks rushing through me. Those were only heightened when I felt the heat of Damon’s body behind me. His fingers grazed up my thigh, sending off rivets of pleasure. I gasped. What was happening? "Don’t think so hard beautiful, relax…" Liam murmured. Reaching down, he threaded his fingers into my hair, tugging my head up. With his other hand, he ripped my towel off, making my eyes fly open, but before I could even say anything, his lips met mine in a delicious kiss. I sighed softly against his lips, feeling Damon’s hands cup my breasts. My cheeks heated

Bonus Chapter – Babysitting Our Pups LIAM "Damon, watch it!" I growled as he kicked the thermos over. Yes, it was closed, but it fell, making a loud sound that made Theo, who had just fallen asleep, wake up with a start. "Fuck guys, can you two not even mind six pups?" Zack asked, raising an eyebrow as he stepped into Damon’s lounge from the kitchen area eating a fucking sandwich. "Make yourself useful and feed Carter." He raised an eyebrow. "I don’t know how." Damon, who was currently rocking Artemis and Ares, raised an eyebrow. "Seriously, Zack?" Zack simply smirked, dropping onto the sofa. "I'm only here because Tay said to help you two, but I have no clue about kids." He switched the TV on, only for the volume to disturb the two pups who were sleeping on the sofa. Jayce became completely fresh as he stared around him. Our mates had gone for a spa day out and here we were with these six, plus

Bonus Chapter – Home & Family ROBYN The Westwood quintuplets were born eleven days before our little princess. Artemis Luna Nicholson. She was beautiful, with grey-blue eyes, black hair and lashes that curled up perfectly. My beautiful little baby girl. She was a good baby who slept well, I often had to wake her up to feed her myself. Damon was the perfect partner to have. He willingly took care of her and me, it never felt like he didn’t want to do it or let on that he was tired. Even after a long day of work, he didn’t let it affect his care for me or our baby. Being a new Alpha, there were many on the council who didn’t like it. He was the second non-alpha born to take the title of ‘Alpha’ and it was something he had to prove that he was good at. I know the king didn’t like him due to his involvement with Kiara, however at the council he was fair and just, not letting any of his personal opinions blind his judgement of seeing Damon’s capabiliti

Bonus Chapter – A Miracle LIAM "That’s it, Raven you got this hun." Kiara encouraged, holding her hand, her purple aura swirling around her as Raven breathed steadily, pain contorting her face as she pushed. "And again! Almost here, babe, you’re doing amazingly." My own heart was racing and seeing her in this much agony was tearing me to shreds inside. She was going to have to do this five times? Fuck this wasn’t fair. "I'm ok." Raven whispered to me; her face scrunched in pain before she pushed once more. I caressed her clammy forehead, my other hand holding hers tightly. Her nails dug into my skin, drawing blood, but I wished I could take away the pain she was in. "Almost there, Luna." One of the midwives added. We were in Kiara’s pack, having spent the last ten days here. Raven let out a scream as she pushed with all her might, and the sound of a cry filled the room. I kissed her forehead as her

Bonus Chapter – The Struggle FOUR MONTHS LATER… RAVEN Pregnancy was hard. I felt exhausted, I could barely walk, sit up, or anything. My back ached continuously and I was actually going to be leaving for Kia’s pack in a week or two as I was nearing the end of my pregnancy and everyone agreed I needed her by my side. For her to come here was a lot harder, so Liam and I would go there whilst Uncle El and Aunty Red would run the pack in our absence. News had spread that the Blood Moon Pack’s Luna was going to have quintuplets, and I knew it was more of a spectacle than anything else. I refused to go to events, I didn’t want to see anyone. Goddess! I'm not something to stare at! I looked over at Robyn, with her normal-sized bump, she was due around the same time as me. She was further along than I was, but due to mine being a multiple pregnancy, I was probably going to have them first. "You ok, babe?" She asked me. I nodded
Caged Between The Beta & Alpha 117. Breaking The News
Bonus Chapter – Breaking The News LIAM Two hours had passed, and I was still stunned… I vaguely heard Damon tell the doctor to not pass the news onto anyone, that Raven and I would do that ourselves. I can’t believe I fucking fainted… but it still can’t be real right? Five pups? Goddess. "Are you ok?" Raven asked me, cupping my face as I sat on the hospital bed. The sparks from her touch rippling through me. I closed my eyes, pulling her between my legs and resting my head against her breasts for a moment. "Yeah… Fuck, I mean, I should be asking you that." I looked up at her concerned, my eyes skipping over her tiny frame; how the fuck was that even going to work? I ran my hands down her waist, despite the shock there was a spark of excitement inside of me. Raven and I were actually having a pup together, scratch that – PUPS. I looked up into her gorgeous eyes, raking my fingers through her hair. "How the hell a

Bonus Chapter – Pregnant Or Not MONICA Channing and I had returned to mine, well it would soon be ours. His children and brother were as understanding of our relationship as my son was. It was just Anna who couldn’t stomach it. Yet, she was strictly not allowed on Blue Moon territory. When she found out about Channing’s new position, she wanted him back. Disgusting. I hoped I didn’t have many run-ins with her, I was better off without it. She had cheated on Channing when he was an amazing, selfless man. I will always love Aaron, and just the thought of him made my heart ache, but I was able to love Channing too. Perhaps it would never reach the level of love I had for Aaron, but it was enough. "Want to visit his grave tomorrow?" He asked, pulling me onto the sofa next to him. He was always so understanding. Despite both his legs being destroyed in the battle of Hecate’s Betrayal years ago, he had not let it get to him. This man was strong, bra

Bonus Chapter – A Nicholson’s Family Dinner DAMON It had been six months since Kiara and Alejandro’s wedding, and whilst the king and queen had gone off on a four-week honeymoon, their children had resided at the Black Storm Pack. I heard from Liam that Rayhan had gotten stressed out with Dante just as much as Liam had with Azura when Uncle El and Aunty Red had gone on their trip. Luckily for me, I got to spend time with my beautiful mate without any kids around, but I was still secretly praying Liam had a kid soon. I did love kids. They are damn cute, and when Robyn was ready, I didn’t mind having one myself. My mate, one who was so damn hardworking and organised. Speaking of… She stepped out of the bathroom with a cloud of steam, wearing maroon lingerie and a black satin cap on her head. "Don’t look at me like that, I just showered." She replied, despite her heart racing. I tilted my head, winking at her. "You need to keep yo

Bonus Chapter – A Day Minding Azura LIAM Mom and Dad had been gone for over two weeks already, which meant Azura was here with us. Raven had gone early that morning to Kiara’s pack as they had some shopping to do for the wedding. I don’t get how women’s shopping never finishes, but if they’re happy shopping, what more could I ask for? Anyway, since Raven was gone, so I was stuck minding my adorable little sister. The only problem was that she’s a four-year-old pup who has asked way too many questions and still picks her boogers, although she told me a few weeks ago she doesn’t… Lie. She had been fairly good to be fair, although she gets a bit emotional every time she gets off a video call with Mom. "So Wiyam, what we do now?" She asked, rubbing her nose. I raised my eyebrows, it was past five in the afternoon. "Well, I'm thinking, how about we make a nice meal for when Raven gets back? It will be a nice surprise
