LIAM
My eyes blazed as those words left his fucking mouth. I grabbed his hair, slamming his head into the table.
How could she not have mentioned it? Fuck, didn’t she even think to tell us? Clearly, we weren’t real friends.
But I can’t go fucking blame her for shit when I should have picked up the damn signs.
"Have you hurt her physically?" I asked dangerously. "ANSWER ME!"
"And if I have?" He spat.
The anger that was blazing through me suddenly snapped inside of me, ravelling out of my control. All I could see was the darkness closing around us and Haru’s face; it twisted in contempt for my mate, looming before me.
"Liam… don’t!"
Someone was shouting, but it didn’t matter, all I wanted was to kill the man before me.
Was that the smell of blood?
Who was screaming?
I felt a jarring pain in my back and I was slammed to the ground. Someone was trying to pin me down. I glared up at the man who was on
Thank you for reading, if you enjoyed these chapters please do leave a gem if you can thank you ^.^
RAVEN"Let’s have a look around just in case." Liam said quietly.The moment he took my mug off me all three of us stood up. Damon scanned the kitchen before looking at the back door."How did they even get in?" He murmured more to himself than us."The door was unlocked." I said, scanning the ground to see if there were any foot prints or anything."The door was definitely locked, I always check and hide the keys so Momma doesn’t wander out.""You check the kitchen, see if anything looks out of place. Although you are so fucking messy, I doubt you’ll even realise if anything is out of place." Liam remarked."I cleaned the kitchen today…" Damon almost sounded like he was complaining."Hard to believe." Liam replied, looking around the fairly clean kitchen. "I’ll take a look outside."It was almost like old times with their friendly banter. I just hoped that this could become permanent.
DAMON I left the house, mind linking Robyn to ask where she was. ‘At the packhouse, is everything ok Damon?’ She sounded worried and I felt a little bad, I had totally shut her out since Raven got back and I ended things. Yeah, what I did wasn’t right, but Robyn was the one who got hurt in this equation, along with Raven. "Yeah, all’s good, I just need to ask you something." I asked, breaking into a run. She had a key to our house. Back when she used to house sit and watch Mom, I gave her both the front and back door. I just needed to make sure she still had them, or ask if she had come around today, although I doubted that… "Ok." She sounded hesitant. I entered the packhouse, going straight up to Robyn’s room. I knocked on it lightly and she opened it pretty quickly. I guess she was watching out the window. "What is it?" She asked, crossing her arms. I didn’t miss the fact that she was wearing a fluffy gown ove
RAVENWe reached the packhouse and Liam was quiet, but I could tell he was mind-linking from the way he nodded once or twice. I had a pretty good idea that he was discussing security or something. We entered the packhouse and Liam went into the kitchen. I headed upstairs, wanting a shower and to actually just get a good night’s sleep.The lingering thought that time was running out for Liam niggled at the back of my mind. How did we break this damn curse? How would we know the curse was broken?We needed to do this ourselves, I would get to the bottom of this. The boys can work on finding the killer, and I will work on this.‘Damon?’ I called through the link.‘Yes, gorgeous?’‘Did you ask Robyn?’‘I did, she said you can show her since you’re at the packhouse, I don’t think she wants anything to do with me.’‘As much as I feel a little bad for you, I like
LIAM I ran my eyes over her; dressed in that clingy black oversize nightshirt that slipped off one of her slender shoulders, draping over her perky round breasts, her sexy legs perfectly on display for me, making me fucking hard. Her gorgeous eyes staring at me, that slender nose and those plump pouty lips that were begging to be kissed… Fuck she was fucking beautiful. There was an innocence beyond that mischievous look of hers, one I was ready to destroy and show her exactly what she was missing out on. But I needed her to be ready for that… I walked towards her, waiting for her answer. "I'm waiting, darling." I murmured, taking hold of her chin. Her breath hitched, her lips parting slightly as she stared into my eyes. "If you want to." She said softly. I smirked. "Is that a yes?" I pushed seductively. "Yes." She poked her eyes out at me and I tugged her into my arms. "Good." I murmured. Leaning down I
RAVENIt was the following day, and the conversation with Liam remained at the front of my mind. It almost felt like a cloud of doom looming over my head.I could tell that sharing me wasn’t an option for him.Even though he was trying to at least tolerate Damon, it was obvious that there was no aspect of making it work.What did that mean?Damon’s kindness, patience and selflessness were things I loved too. He was someone who was dear to me with or without this bond.But ultimately, if I had to really choose one to have a relationship with…A sudden wave of guilt washed over me and I pushed the thoughts away."In sets!" I shouted, trying to focus on the training session.Everyone obeyed except Taylor who seemed to be distracted.‘Taylor?’ I called through the link.He blinked and looked at me."Sorry." He muttered, stepping up beside the guy next to him, ready to spar.
ZACK I glared at her. Goddess! She was so damn stubborn. That got her to shut up. She blinked at me as if I had just spoken a foreign language. ‘Taylor’s sister-in-law? She’s like thirty-three…’ She looked confused. Don’t I know it? I was just a few months younger than Raven, I knew she was doing the math. ‘But… She’s been mated for like twelve years…’ She replied, I could hear the realisation settle into her voice. Guilt flitted through me as she turned her blazing eyes on me. ‘Look I'm not proud of it, but it happened just before I found out he was my mate. I was eighteen and an older woman hitting on you… It wasn’t that hard to fall for it. It was just sex.’ I sighed in frustration. ‘So just… stay out of it.’ ‘No… I don’t get it. She cheated on her mate? Goddess! Her mate is such a good person too… Channing has always been so nice, he was injured…’ Although Kiara was able to save his life, there wasn’t much s
TAYLOR My heart was racing as I stared over at my sexy as hell mate; in his leather jacket, fitted shirt, and that pout that’s always set on his sexy face. Goddess, I’d let him do me all the fucking time. Just the thought was turning me on, but the worry and guilt in his eyes had me on edge. When the waitress returned, Zack retracted his hands, much to my disappointment. She left us with our drinks and food, closing the door behind her. Soft music was playing in the background, and I honestly could have just pretended we were on a surprise date if it wasn’t for how apprehensive Zack was acting. "Zack, what is it?" "When I was eighteen… I kind of got into a sexual relationship with this she-wolf... But when I met you, I wanted to break it off... The thing is…" He ran his hand through his messy hair, his heart thudding. I knew Zack’s had a few relationships, but I also knew our connection was strong. "Zack, why are you ne
RAVEN I felt awful. Zack had told me what had happened and I felt like shit, I didn’t mean to make matters worse, but I had. I padded up the stairs in wolf form before entering the bathroom and grabbing a towel. Reaching beneath the cabinet, I slid my bedroom key out and trudged down the hall to my bedroom. Unlocking the door, I entered feeling exhausted, however, I had asked Robyn for help tonight and I needed to go visit her too. I quickly told Zack that Taylor was ok, he seemed relieved and thanked me. I hoped they managed to sort this problem out. I groaned, getting dressed quickly in underwear, sweatpants and a ribbed vest top. I grabbed the book, shoved it into the bag and headed to Robyn’s room. I knocked on her door, hearing music from inside the room despite the soundproof walls, you could still faintly make out the sounds. She opened it pretty quick, dressed in yoga pants and a crop top. She really was gorgeous. I couldn’t really bla
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
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
