last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

“So, did Eric say when he would be back?”  Ryder watches me intently as he waits for my answer. 

He knows that I am nervous about this whole thing with Jeremy, so why ask?  Trust me if I knew when he would be back, I wouldn’t feel so damn upset right now.  He missed dinner and Ryder came all this way just to speak with him.  However, now he is riding my back in hopes of rekindling what we had started earlier.

Pacing around the living room, I shake my head and finally exclaim, “Just stop!  I know what you are trying to do.  You won’t tear us apart, no matter how hard you try.”

His eyes flash golden for a brief moment before he says, “You are mine Raven.  You always will be.  Just because my brother has claimed you, doesn’t mean it isn’t so.  You knew it the minute I first touched you.  That’s why whenever I kiss you, you melt in my hands.”

Starting to sob, I cry out, “No, I am not.  Just becau

    I wake up groggy and look at the clock, it’s 4:15 but Eric is mumbling something in his sleep with his arm tight around my chest. Not being able to break free, I try to turn over at least but can’t. Instead, I end up staring at the ceiling and listening to every horrible word he says. “Jeremy, yyyou have to stop with the women. I can only take sooooo many.” He slurs and there are several moments when he just stops before finishing the sentence. Hearing him speak, makes me want to curl up and die because I realize that he is talking about yesterday. Lying there, I silently cry because I know what he has done is wrong. The problem is I have done the same thing before. Haven’t I? I know that it was not to the same extent, but the sheer fact is that I cheated on him and now he has gotten his revenge. Feeling him start to move, I try to wiggle from his grasp, but I don’t succeed. Instead, he m

    “It’s not what it looks like. I promise.” Ryder turns around to face Eric and tries to explain. “Hmm. Let’s see. My mate is wet and naked, you are touching her chin and it looks like you just kissed her. Exactly what is it then?” I can already see the rage in Eric’s eyes from clear across the room. Ryder glances from me to Eric and then replies, “I walked in, because I saw you stomp off in a huff from your bedroom.” He sighs before continuing. “Wanting to make sure she was alright, I knocked and when she didn’t answer, I entered. When I did, she was in a horrible mess, ranting and raving about Jeremy so I threw her in the shower to cool off and get ahold of herself.” Walking closer to Eric now, he keeps an eye on him as he says, “This is just before you came in. When I shut off the shower, she walked out and then I was just about to ask her a question when you came through the door.” Eric sta

    “I knew that Eric’s little bitch wasn’t very strong. I am frankly surprised that he chose you in the first place. He could have had any number of women. Matter of fact, even now after having human women, he still prefers you and I have no idea why.” Jeremy’s face is so close to me that I feel the spittle running down my face as he speaks vehemently towards me. As I feel someone yank me backwards and to my feet by my upper arms sharply, I wince in pain when I feel my shoulder dislocate. I hear a popping noise and then close my eyes in pain and agony. Writhing around, I grimace when he forces me to look at him. “Look at me bitch! You are a female dog after all.” He stares into my eyes as close as he possibly can before he snaps his teeth together, acting like he is going to bite my nose off. “I bite too you know?” He winks at me and then shows me his biggest Cheshire Cat smile.

    “Bang” “Boom” My eyes hurt and feel puffy, but when I wake up it is pale in comparison to the sharp pain still in my shoulder. Now I am beginning to wonder if the blow to my skull hasn’t caused me to hallucinate, because I hear loud noises in the next room and Eric’s voice again. He is shouting out asking, “Where is she? I know you have her.” “Boom” “Crash” “Boom” Sitting there, I notice something after a little while. Everything grows quiet and right before Jeremy’s face peers through the door, I see someone sitting in the corner staring at me. It is a bit odd, but I dismiss it quickly as also part of my imagination till he turns the light on, and I see it is not. Jeremy walks in and then I see an older grey-haired man who looks to be almost 7 foot tall. His eyes are wide and a shade of blue that is so bright that it looks unreal. I can smell his cologne from a mile away and it makes m

    “Raven, do you know where Lizzy went? The pups are hungry, and she isn’t anywhere to be found. I don’t like the fact that people disappear far too frequently around here. We have to start doing something about it.” He stares at me with a frown before waiting for me to answer. “Well, I can take care of the pups food needs for the moment, but we have to find someone who will actually be here full time. I thought she was responsible enough, but maybe she found her mate and they have gone off somewhere to be alone. Who knows?” He nods and then leans down before giving me a kiss on the lips that feels more like he is thinking of something else. His eyes wander to the window before he walks off and disappears out the door. Staring after him, I put down my book and stand up to go to the kitchen, when I hear a strange noise in the bathroom. Cocking my head, I listen for a minute longer. Nothing, but the minute I s

    As soon as word gets out that I am about to get out of the clinic, Eric comes rushing in with a dozen red roses and a huge smile on his handsome face. The last few days, he has been staying at the clinic, but this morning he ran off and I didn’t know why till now. I stare at him as he waits patiently for the doctor to walk in and check me over. Hearing the doctor from the other room, we both glance at each other and smile. The door opens and then the doctor peers in, checking to make sure he isn’t intruding before he enters the room. Eric immediately starts pacing because I can tell he can’t wait to get me out of here. After all, tonight is a full moon. Still holding the roses, he remembers that he is carrying them and leans forward so I can smell. So, I close my eyes and take a breath in through my nose. The scent fills me, and I make a “Mm” Sound. When the doctor walks over to me and listens to my heart, he gl

Just as long as we don’t leave our territory, and they don’t leave theirs we all get along. “Momma, momma.” “Momma.” Turning to Hope and Justin, I smile and then take one in each arm before standing up. Kissing them on the head, I remember when things weren’t going so well. My world is different now though, because everyone respects me and when I say something, there are no more doubts. Of course, Eric might have something to do with that. The moment someone even thinks about it, Eric rips their throats out and doesn’t give them a second chance, because he is a powerful adversary all on his own and with me by his side, we are unstoppable.

    Sitting there for the longest time, I have yet to figure out exactly what to do. I put my face in my hands and start to sob, but then I stop and stand when my cheek starts to ache again. Touching it, I press in and hear something clicking. Walking over to the mirror, I stare at my reflection. A broken woman looks back at me. Someone who once was proud and stood tall, I am now shattered and a mere shadow of myself. Today, I thought it was the end for me and the scary fact is that I had come to terms with everything. I forgave everyone and yet there is something that still bothers me. Eric said that he hasn’t been the Alpha I need him to be. What he doesn’t realize is that I don’t need him as an alpha, just my mate. He is everything I need and more, but because he feels like he failed me he has become someone else, and I see it in his eyes. The disappointment and sadness, but mostly regret.
