Quickly, I switched routes, heading towards the pack headquarters before I changed my mind.
I stopped at the entrance and looked at the guards.
"I wish to speak to Liam." I said quietly, not missing the way they looked at my mark.
My stomach churned and I realised that what someone wore with pride, had become something awful for me, something to be leered and gawked at like a spectacle in a zoo. I moved my hair forward, covering it.
They opened the door, allowing me inside. Another guard escorted me through the halls, unlocking the next door and leading me to the cells. My heart thudded when we slowed down.
"Do you wish to talk from outside miss or inside?"
I don’t know…
"Outside is fine." I said quietly, my stomach twisting.
I can’t do this… I can’t…
Breathe…
I stopped when I saw him, sitting in one of the cells on the bed. His eyes were closed, his back

I actually agreed, I think it would be a nice break away from everything.Now here we are on our… I'm not sure what number bottle, and with plenty more to come. It was too early to find a club, so we had come to a pub, and I know a few of the people here were quite surprised that we were still sane after all that alcohol."…So, I gave Sparks back to him." I finished resting my cheek on my hand."Ah baby girl, he is going to be happy. That’s created with so much love from his sister!" Taylor said, downing another glass.I think we were both done for the day. The sun was setting too... How long have we been here?"Yeah, and then, Nina saw me and told me I had this in control and comforted me… I wonder who she’s lost there." I said sadly."Nina the Omega? That’s weird, she

DAMONRaven’s father was committed, and although I knew the Alpha had set his punishment, I still wanted to tell Liam about it.I'm angry at him. So fucking mad at what he did. But past his split personality, there was that part of him that I knew. I wouldn’t be able to forgive him easily… If ever.I don’t know if I could ever call him a friend again either. Looking back, I think that ended a few years ago. I was maybe just stuck in a fucking illusion that things would work out…It did fucking hurt… but life was shit like that.I entered the cells and unlocking the door, entered his cell.He was sitting there, his eyes closed, his hair that he always had gelled and styled was lying messily over his forehead. His eyes opened and met mine, they looked… broken.I knew he’d feel it, but maybe this is the punch he needs to realise that he can be in fucking control. He needs to take contro

RAVENTwo days had passed since the night of the rejection. I had spent it sitting next to Damon, refusing to leave him, because even if he was smiling, I knew he was hurting. We put a movie on, although I knew neither of us were watching it as we had soon fallen asleep on the sofa.I knew that it would take him time because he had held out hope. Somewhere along the line, I had given up, knowing that it wouldn’t work, but he had held on.I hope somewhere in the future we can look back and smile at this entire situation. Someday, one day.Today was the day of Liam’s trial. It terrified me to know that tonight he’ll be punished. This was the future Alpha of the pack, and although right now it felt like there was no hope, I was confident he would get there one day.As for the curse, it was clear Liam himself had to do something to end it, but what? Even I didn’t know, all we knew was the answer lies within.Moreover, the

RAVEN Damon raised the whip, I flinched when it struck Liam’s back. He didn’t even move, another followed, each lash made my heart squeeze. For his mistake… It’s for his mistake… I had to tell myself that, my heart thundering as each lash struck him, slicing through his skin and letting blood drip to the ground. Not once did he even flinch, despite his breathing becoming harder. But each lash was biting into me, the pain of watching him face this… Thirty… "Raven…" Uncle El said and I realised I was shaking. My heart was beating far too fast. "Step outside." "No." I said as I saw Taylor coming over. No doubt Uncle El had mind linked him. "I'm staying." I stared at Liam as Damon continued. The emotionless mask on Damon’s face was gone, pain and conflict on his face too as he frowned deeply continuing the punishment. "That’s enough now." I said suddenly, flinching as the silver cut into Liam’s back that was

RAVENIt was the following day, Damon and I had just arrived at the Westwood’s home and were seated in the lounge. I wasn’t sure how to feel knowing Liam was going to be there, I had gotten all emotional when he was in pain, but now I felt a little embarrassed about my outburst. The fact that I had literally shouted at Uncle El… I needed to apologise for that too…I looked at Damon, who was raising his eyebrows questioningly at me."I shouted at the Alpha." I whispered.He raised an eyebrow."You’ve teased and played pranks on him all your life. Are you scared now?" He joked quietly as he stroked his mother’s hair.She was fast asleep on the sofa when we entered, and neither of us wanted to disturb her."I know… but I shouted at him when I knew it wasn’t easy for him." I whispered back."Well gorgeous, it’s too late to regret it." He said.Our eyes met, both of us

RAVEN We walked away from the commotion of the party, the music fading a little, yet it was still loud enough to hear. He slowed down, falling into step beside me as I quickly ate my dessert. "So, we get the packhouse." He said quietly, sliding his hand out of his pocket and holding out the piece of paper which contained a list of door numbers. "The ones marked off are those members fully in the clear." I nodded, taking the paper from him. We had a lot of rooms to search… "Shall we split when we get there? There’s a lot of rooms to cover. Maybe one of us can start from the bottom and the other from the top, although I doubt it would be an Omega. " I said. Liam shook his head. "No one gets a pass. Everyone is capable. In fact, Omega’s have access to a lot of places with ease." He said quietly as we entered the packhouse and he slid out a bunch of keys. "The extra keys." Keys that I knew were not meant to be used. "Where

RAVEN An hour had passed, Owen had been captured and tossed into the cells. Uncle El was making sure everyone was getting home safely. Right now, we hadn't told anyone we had caught the killer because he hadn’t admitted to it, although there were rumours going around that someone had been taken in. My mind flashed to what happened with Liam not long after we had made the discovery and Owen had been brought to the cells, my heart thudding at the memory. (A SHORT WHILE AGO) "Liam…" "I’m going to kill him." His eyes blazed, and I watched the black begin to creep over the whites of his eyes. He had given Owen a few punches for talking back but he was getting angrier thanks to Owen not knowing when the hell to shut up. Fuck! "Liam... Liam, calm down." I said quietly, approaching him. The bond was stronger now, please let it help. ‘Raven move!’ Damon’s panicked voice came through the mind link. ‘Don’t come clo

LIAMI wrapped my arms around her, my hands roaming her back. The feel of her skin through the thin lace of her top sent sparks running through me, fuck she felt so good. I throbbed against her, biting back a growl of approval as she leant into me, her fingers grazing the back of my neck. I nuzzled my nose against her neck, her fresh floral scent clouding my senses as she sighed softly, her lips grazing my earlobe.My eyes flashed and the urge to kiss her grew stronger, but I couldn’t…"Liam…" She moaned breathlessly, the tantalising scent of her arousal seeping into the air.Fuck…I squeezed her ass, kissing her neck sensually. The moment my lips trailed along her collar bones, she whimpered loudly, sighing in pure bliss the moment my lips touched her mark. Extra sensitive.I’ll change it. One day I’ll make the memory less painful… somehow.I wouldn’t last long enough. The negative

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

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
