I appeared in the middle of my mother's property and turned around letting my eyes absorb the full destruction that Anna had caused. I wasn't close to many of the others that had been killed but none of them deserved this kind of death. "They were just outcasts looking for unity,'' I mumbled bitterly as I looked at the pile of charred bodies that had been collected. I saw Sara, my midwife, and thought of my son."Especially Bjorn," Adira whines in my mind, and my eyes turn completely blue from hellfire. I called out for Brian or Timothy and got no response. The demon, Jinx appeared suddenly and glanced around acting nervous."Where's everyone?" I asked and he told me that the survivors went to the underground bunkers because they all felt the darkness nearing. "It's afoot, Raven, so be cautious," he said with a shaky voice. I told him to go hide in hell. I asked my wolf if she was ready and with her consent, I called out for Noah. Anna didn't concern me but her puppet did."Noah Bri
"Stop acting weird, Raven…it's not like I haven't told you before," he teased and I told him I knew that but I noticed he still had a darkness inside of him and it should have lowered with the metalwork removed. I leaned forward when the sudden wind came over us and turned to see that Michael had shot up into the air and was flying upward flapping his huge gold wings."That's awesome," I muttered and Noah pulled me back against his chest. "Hey, I am probably still cursed and that is what is showing," he said nonchalantly."His wolf Keir is solid now and that may be what is causing the darkness to be visible," my wolf informs me. I glanced at Noah and grinned."Well guess you're stuck doing whatever I want you to do since you can't move." Noah started unbuttoning his shirt and asked me to pull down his boxers. I eyed him oddly yet did what he asked. My cheeks turned pink as I avoided looking or accidentally touching his weiner."Keir told me something interesting," he told me as he nu
"I thought mates were faithful?" I mumbled sourly and Sagon told me Noah’s darkness was corrupting him deeply."Once his memories return he's going to feel like an enormous piece of shit," he said sincerely and I grinned slightly as my hand flickered with blue hellfire."Just so you know…Noah told me he never slept with Anna or Brenda. He told me he was having issues with um, it getting to full mast," Sagon said softly and I snorted rudely in disbelief."I highly doubt that. I've personally watched him performing on Brenda," I mumbled. Sagon shrugged and explained that the mate bond would cause him not to penetrate another female. So he was certain that he meant it after becoming mates with me."He told you to never doubt his love for you too," my wolf reminds me. I exhaled harshly and narrowed my eyes at the room with the light. I pointed up to it and told Sagon that Jasira was probably inside. I was concentrating on the small balcony outside the window when I blinked and was standin
I looked at my father for an explanation of why he said that and he looked back at me like I should already know the reason. He ignored me as he dug bullets out of his flesh and grimaced occasionally when he'd hit a nerve."Dad, Noah is my marked mate and father of my daughter and also my very best friend. I don't feel that either of us would be better "off" without him," I argued. My dad just shook his head and told me he didn't want me to end up hurt in the end."End of what?" I asked curiously. Noah glared at my father and wrapped his arm around my waist possessively."My memories have returned and the demon was correct…I was a complete asshole to you but know that I truly only desire you, my love," he said seductively as he kissed near my ear. I was smiling with my eyes lowered when my father shouted out."Where's your mother?" I sat up and scooted away from Noah causing him to pout."Like I told you earlier your brother has them assisting his mate for her multiple births. He's at
We took Abby to hell and Lucifer called on her husband, Ezra to come quickly to her side. I filled him in as best I could about what had been happening and he suggested that Noah and I get my mother from Zath."The beast Zath is not stable and would trade his mother to the ones attacking your clan for a small fee. Noah, go to my armory in my dungeons and take all that you can carry back with you to the wolves. There is armor the pack can use," he said with concern. I looked at him wide-eyed and asked if he knew who or what we were fighting against. He looked at me and nodded his head."It's someone that you befriended and unfortunately believes that Anna is his mate because of her gift to spin lies. She's told him they cannot be together until all the half-breeds are wiped off the earth. Any cryptids mixed with human DNA are going to die by Brian and his cronies," Lucifer mumbled bitterly. That would include some of his family and all of mine minus my dad and brother Aiden who were bot
I was sprawled out completely naked on top of an equally nude Noah and smiling in complete awe of our session of lovemaking. He was rubbing circles on my bare back and grinning from ear to ear after making sure I was seeded well with his child. "I don't know how wise it was to ensure my pregnancy when we have a psycho goddess to destroy but it certainly was very satisfying," I murmured. Noah kissed the top of my head and told me I was the best thing that happened in his cursed life. I glanced up at him and grinned."I don't care if you're cursed and unholy Noah. You are my best friend, lover, and marked mate for life. I'm going to always be yours and you shall always be mine," I told him sincerely and he hugged me tightly."We should shower and check on the couple in the guest room. Considering how long they mated I'm certain they're both in need of nutrients," Noah said sweetly. I reluctantly scooted off of him and headed into his ensuite to start the shower. He whistled at my bare
I opened my eyes to see nothing but could hear Frank Sinatra playing. No longer feeling gut-wrenching pain, I sat up in the void space. I blinked my eyes several times when a lovely woman with white as snow skin in a long white shimmering gown with silver eyes came twirling around in front of me. My eyes narrowed when she stopped and eyed me with a stoic look. "Am I dead?" I asked straight away and the woman replied," yes, in a way." I shook my head and looked around once again and a celestial forest formed around me. My mouth was hanging open and I shook my head at the shimmering vegetation."I don't want to die. I'm carrying Noah's pup," I cried and she giggled."You're carrying Noah's twin pups Faelon and Faust," she growled and I looked at her critically and gasped."You're her, you're the Moon Goddess! Fucking hell, "I mumbled sourly and she put her delicate hands to her hips."Young lady…I've been shunned by your doubts in me and now you proceed to curse at my person…maybe I wa
I took another bite of the amazing steak that had been prepared by the devil himself. Noah sat across from me rubbing his tired eyes. I sat my fork down and studied him closely. I clearly could see that he now had fine lines around his eyes and permanent creases on his forehead."How long was I dead for?" I asked curiously and he glanced up at me and told me a few weeks. I frowned slightly."Then why do you look like you've aged at least twenty years?" He smirked telling me he was sorry if his looks were atrocious making me giggle."You're a very handsome man Noah and the added age is very complimenting. I only wondered what caused it," I said softly, taking another bite of meat. Lucifer was eavesdropping and came toward us."Noah's aged a bit from the process of losing a part of himself. His body will readjust to the changes and he will be back to normal in time. You will also experience a bit of strangeness since you're carrying a part of Noah's life force or soul within you. Your b
I returned to the Northern pack with Dagon in Rune's shell. I was still rather confused by the whole soul jumping and the prediction Circe had given me so long ago. Dagon explained that she was probably confused by seeing souls being swapped and just formed a reasonable reading. I shrugged as I leaned back on the couch filling out a decree to have all the packs call King Noah his new name Dagon. I signed it and handed it to Sköll who happened to be there staring at my swollen baby bump which had increased in size in a short amount of time."When this baby grows up I'd like to give him back the position. We can go to Colorado or hell," I said softly to Dagon and he nodded. His yellow eyes were glowing and following me around."We can do whatever you like, sweetheart, as long as we are together," he said sincerely. I chuckled and glanced over at him."So we are wed?" I asked him and he chuckled, pulling me onto his lap."Yes Raven, you are my wife, true mate, and the keeper of my heart,"
The Western pack reminded me instantly of home; it was even set in the same layout as my father's pack in Siberia. There were pack houses around a town center with a fish pond. Children were feeding them with pellets and joyous giggles filled the air making me smile. I squeezed Noah’s hand and he grinned down at me but it didn't reach his eyes causing me concern. "Did he have a bad break up with this Jax fellow, wolfy?" I asked Adria within my mind and she told me she didn't know and neither had Remus. I chewed on my bottom lip as we continued down a paved walkway towards a lovely Victorian isk house tucked away between large silver birch trees. "I don't think this is wise," Noah mumbled and I eyed him as I pulled on his arm."You look like Rune, perhaps he hasn't been told about your soul transfer," I offered and he grew stern. He nodded and continued. We headed up the stairs to the porch and Noah asked me to knock."Do I look presentable?" I asked curiously and he glanced over at me
I spotted a sign that read "Welcome to Wolfhaven" and pointed it out to Noah."How ironic," my wolf chortled in my mind, making me giggle. The pack members that were wandering through the town stopped when they saw Noah and me and nodded their heads at us. My mouth fell open at the three huge males that came forward and stood before us asking us to come with them. Noah grinned slightly and asked them if they were going to escort us to Sasha. The three looked between themselves and chuckled as they nodded."Certainly, your highness, come this way," they smiled."Can you tell me a bit about Sasha?" Noah asked the largest one of them. He side-eyed Noah and nodded."She is the daughter of Alpha Ash of the Americas," he said solemnly. I thought about it and didn't know who Alpha Ash was and Noah didn't have a clue either. So we traveled to the large home in the distance without further conversation. The largest male did tell us his name was Marcus as he yelled out for Kellum.The home's do
Faust came up the stairs along with Jasira and Bjorn. They hugged Faelon too and I was bawling my eyes out at the amount of support they were giving one another. "I missed you so much dad, I thought you abandoned me and fell so low," Faelon sobbed and Noah pulled him to his chest and told him he'd never abandon his children. "I love you all and am proud of each of you. Even you Bjorn," he said sincerely."You better, I am your double-g's left hand after all," Bjorn chuckled and patted Faelon's back. I overheard him ask Faelon how he'd snuck out and Faelon smirked and told him it was a secret. That concerned me a bit. I didn't want him to get into trouble with the devil. The Elders circled all of us to give our family some privacy and Fiana told us the crowd had stopped watching our show and were entertaining themselves. I thanked her and watched Noah taking Faelon off to the side to speak with him in private. "I'm being summoned by the big guy, mom. Love you and hope to see you mor
I noticed that my son Faust was sitting alone sipping on a glass of wine all by himself. He felt my eyes on him and glanced over at me. He gestured if he could join me and I nodded. He walked up and lifted one of the unoccupied chairs carrying it over next to me."No luck finding a female,'' I asked him pointedly and he shrugged."Aren't you worried about waking up dad?" He asked, changing the subject. I grinned slightly and shook my head."The man can sleep through a volcano erupting," I said softly and Faust laughed."Do you think Faelon is the way he is because I wasn't, well Noah and I weren't there to raise him?" I asked curiously. What Noah had said bothered me. Faust looked at me and sighed."Hearing of dad's death shook him more so. I think that was a pivotal piece that broke him. His demon side has fallen and that's unheard of even in hell. Lucifer is learning much from his existence," he said sadly."So he's a bad egg all around eh?" I mumbled sourly and Faust laughed."He ju
I splashed Noah's smug face and he pulled me under the clear water. We hadn't skinny dipped since we were children and memories flooded us as we played instead of washing up ourselves. We were unaware of the large wolves watching us from within the foliage, having too much fun enthralled with each other. Noah stopped and emitted a low growl as he glanced off in this distance."Go to the right side of the lake and dress quickly. We have some unwanted company," he said roughly and began transforming into a huge black wolf. I gasped, not ever seeing him in this particular form. He was much more like Sköll than a normal wolf. He stood bipedal on large haunches and growled at me to hurry. I swam quickly to the side and dressed as I watched him exiting the water. He shook out his black fur and yelled for the ones in hiding to show themselves."It's Lorenzo and his henchmen, Remus tells me that they are unhappy with Noah being the king of Dexter's pack," my wolf growls. "Well, then they'll
We entered the house and my mom asked Abby to go home and bring back some makeup and her dangling diamond earrings. Abby nodded and disappeared from the room. She was only gone a few minutes and reappeared with her arms full."You're still a bit bruised, honey and you should look perfect for this special occasion," my mother, Emma said softly lifting my chin as she scanned my face. I smiled at her."Are you going to use the lace dress?" She asked curiously and I nodded. She told me to go up and get it on and she would help me look like a lovely queen when I finished. I went to my old bedroom and pulled out the lovely lace summer dress from the closet. The dress was stunning and after putting it on over my matching bra and panty set I felt lovely. I was certain I'd knock Noah’s sock off. I finished looking at my reflection and headed back downstairs. When the others looked up at me a collective ahh filled the air. I smiled as I descended the stairs."This will work?" I asked and the th
We tumbled into the living room and I fell back against the ornery man grabbing me from behind. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes."I'd like to have a word with Sagon, Faust, and Jasira…please join me in the kitchen," Noah announced. I turned to him and patted him on his chest. His eyes glowed down at me full of mischief."You just wait, sweetheart…paybacks," he growls softly and I told him I looked forward to it with a sultry grin and wink. It was odd seeing Rune with his rugged good looks and actually being Noah the more I thought about it. My mother and father along with Noah’s parents were all smiles."Did you tell mother?" I asked my father curiously and he informed me that Abby had. I nodded and went to sit down beside her."Are you okay with all this?" She asked in concern. I explained that I visited Rune's soul and felt that all would be well. She smiled and hugged me."At least there's no reason for you to stab Noah with a fork now and his darkness has truly left
My dad exited the kitchen with an odd look on his face and announced that we could get coffee now. His yellow eyes looked up at me in concern. My brow furrowed and I headed toward him. "What's wrong dad?" I asked curiously and he grins and rubbed his hand down my arm. "Just know that all will turn out for the best, okay kiddo," he grins and I nod, wondering if Rune told him what I had decided on about Noah. I didn't press it and asked if he'd poured himself a cup. He nodded, lifting a steaming cup I hadn't noticed. Smiling, I entered the kitchen and saw Rune and a crying Ezra hugging him tightly. The pair were outside on the porch. Rune turned and saw me in the window and smiled at me. I grinned slightly and he winked. I laughed and began pouring cups of coffee for our guests. I kept my eyes on Ezra's odd behavior. He wiped his eyes and was smiling brightly once again. I shook my head and sipped my coffee alone at the kitchen table after passing out the cup to the others. When they
