Trigger Warning: Child Abuse“Raven you won’t remember this, it’s going to be ok,” Rebecca tries to walk over and comfort me, when my claws slip through my fingers slashing at her cutting into the soft flesh of her belly.“Fuck! You stupid little bitch!” Rebecca screams at me, kicking the bars crushing my fingers making me yelp and growl angrily not understanding the hate radiating from my mother.“I thought she hasn’t shifted?” Dagon questions while getting up and walking over to look me over.“She hasn’t,” Rebecca answers, her eyes are blown wide while looking down at her stomach she is now holding.It quickly dawns on me this must have been right around the time I did shift for the first time; I can see the heat emanating from my body as my eyes are glowing a brilliant shade of red.“Ruby what is this?” I question, seeing her standing behind the younger me trying to pull me away from the bars, when I realize she’s younger too.‘This is a memory, something buried and suppressed,’ cu
“Hey, there you are,” Jonathan whispers while pulling me higher up in his arms as I look around to see I’m on the floor in his lap, with Osric and Embry on either side of us.“He tried taking me,” I softly speak while looking up at my mates, and Jonathan nods.“He won’t get anywhere near you again, we will keep you safe,” Osric reassures as he leans against Jonathan while grabbing my hand and kissing my knuckles.“He’ll do the same to Roan if he ever gets his hands on her, he’s working with witches it’s how he has stayed hidden,” I panic while sitting up to see, my father, Liliana, Ryder, Benjamin, Ares, Kitty, and Phoenix all standing around us watching me in concern.“He never gets dem,” Phoenix reassures, leaning towards me from Ares arms making me nod.“I don’t let him, Gunnar pwotects us,” Phoenix adds, making me smile, knowing she can see some of what’s to come.“Orin saved me from him, and you betrayed Orin then to protect us. You were always around after that,” I look up
“Damn, I’m not sure who looks better,” Embry’s voice comes from the bathroom as Jonathan, and I finish getting dressed for tonight. “Jonathan,” I giggle, staring at Jonathan’s hair that is braided back into a mohawk. I smile seeing he is wearing dark gray woolens with a weapons belt and remains bare chested like Osric and Embry, making him look like a Viking God. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that,” Jonathan chuckles while looking me up and down, making my cheeks turn bright red. All three of them stare at the red linen chemise gown under the under bust black corset, that is intricately decorated with gold lined filigree. I am also wearing a matching Victorian age sleeveless double-breasted tailcoat over the top showing off the loose peasant sleeves of the chemise. “You guys only like this dress because the corset shoves my milk filled boobs up into my face, I can use them as pillows,” I roll my eyes and shake my head while turning to button up the coat. “You are stunning Bunny,”
“Wow,” Jonathan’s voice comes from behind me, I look up to see most of both packs here standing on both sides of an aisle leading towards Helena, who is standing at an arch way.The arch is carved, four huge posts decorated with Norse knots up the pillars coming together with wolves and a raven in the center.“Wow,” I gasp, seeing it decorated with hanging flowers, making it look like it’s straight out of a fairy tale.“The pack is very excited to finally have its Luna and to welcome its new Alpha,” Embry mentions, grabbing Jonathan’s hand, leading him down the aisle between the crowd.“Ready?” Osric asks, standing in front of me and watches me blush with a gentle nod.“I think so, it’s about time, isn’t it?” I question, knowing not only do I want to be his Luna, but Blood Moon really is ready to accept me as such“It really is, I’m very proud of you,” Osric gently presses his lips to my forehead.“Me too,” I smile, then quickly kiss his lips, letting him escort me to the arch where N
“Luna Raven, we are proud to call you our Luna, there has never been someone more worthy of the title. You have protected us and saved our Alphas against dangerous enemies, I Gamma Bjorn swear my loyalty and the loyalty of Blood Moon’s Deltas to you and your mates, to be here at your disposal, to do your biding and carry out any orders you deem necessary,” Bjorn steps forward and kneels at my feet, when Blood Moons Deltas follow suit. My heart races when I feel hot tears drip down my cheeks as pride floods through the bond. “Thank you, Gamma Bjorn, it is an honor to be your Luna and know you have such faith in me,” I thank him between deep breaths, trying to calm my nerves when my mates flood the bond with soothing thoughts and feelings. “Luna Raven, I Osric Bloodwrath your mate and Alpha King of the Bloodwrath Kingdom, submit to you and swear my loyalty to your rule and judgement. Not only are you my Luna, you are my equal and I wish to rule by your side, never above you,” Osric ta
“Kitty will make an excellent Beta, she’s a great choice Ben. Good news is Raven won’t have to miss her all the time, since we’ll be visiting your pack and you’ll be visiting ours frequently, so Phoenix and Gunnar are able to see each other,” Osric’s gruff voice chimes in, and I nod agreeing to his point. “Yes, and she’ll be a great female influence for Phoenix, I know she’ll make sure Ares and Phoenix are always safe. I’m pleased you both agree and give your blessing,” Benjamin smiles, when my eyes follow his to see Phoenix smiling and giggling at Roan trying to crawl to her. “Oh, I have no doubt of that, she has been training the women of Wolf Creek, and brought several women from Shadow Peak with her when fleeing from Alpha Lucas. Kitty is very strong and is great leadership material, she has a way of connecting with people,” Osric admits, and I nod, unable to keep my eyes from drifting back and forth between Benjamin and Phoenix, who glances up with a smile that’s identical to Be
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be grumpy I just don’t like not knowing what’s going on, at least get them closer to the house and surrounded by the Delta warriors,” Osric apologizes, brushing my hair back and I nod. “Don’t be sorry, I love that you’re protective of us. Roan is starting to smell pretty ripe, so I’ll take them in to change them. Organize Karen and Bjorn to protect Liliana and her pups, as well as Phoenix and Ares. If there is a threat, we will handle it and be prepared,” I reassure, reaching up and placing my hand on the side of his face trusting his instincts. “I will, Jonathan, stay with Raven,” Osric orders, making me turn and roll my eyes before heading towards our house. “Mumma Raven, is evewy thing ok?” Phoenix skips her way towards me, pulling Ares behind her. “Yeah, Roan has a dirty diaper, so I need to take them inside to change her,” I answer with a nod, as Kitty comes over and stands beside Ares like she’s watching over them. “Can we help?” Phoenix questions
“What the fuck was that?” I wake up to Eya quietly talking to Osric, who is laying behind me holding me close with his hand rubbing my belly. “She’s a Lycan born under the blood moon, who knows where her abilities end,” Embry answers from the other side of the room, when I barely open my eyes enough to see we are in a room similar to ours at home. “She shouldn’t be able to control vampires or do anything like that. Did you watch her aura?” Eya’s voice sounds genuinely concerned and shocked. I take a deep breath enjoying Osric’s warm scent keeping me relaxed. “She broke the compulsion herself, she learned how to manipulate them like they did to her. She’s already embracing her abilities, it’s the only way she would have been able to do this. Think about who Adaline is; do you really think her grandchildren wouldn’t be gifted. I know Addy gave them every advantage she could, Liliana and Raven are special and we’ve never seen anything like them before.” Osric’s chest vibrates agains

“How are you feeling about today?” Mummo questions, when I walk into the kitchen looking for some juice with Gunnar in my arms. “I’m excited, I can feel how excited everyone in Wolf Creek is for tonight,” I admit, grabbing the juice, for Mummo to grab the bottle from my hand as she has a glass already on the counter. “He is so precious; you did an excellent job with your pups. Of course, Wolf Creek is excited, you’re their Alpha, and you have changed their lives for the better. I’ve never seen Wolf Creek prosper so well, nor have I seen a pack where there are so little domestic issues among mates,” Mummo admits, pouring me a glass of juice when I look back hearing Roan fussing behind me. “What’s wrong?” I ask, watching Jonathan bringing our daughter whose face is bright red nearly matching her hair. “Oh, she thinks she is starving, and I apparently don’t have the goods,” Jonathan explains making Mummo laugh quietly, and I nod, knowing the twins aren’t due to be nursed. “I just nur
“Shhhh, what’s the matter?” I sooth Roan, scooping her up from the center of the bed surrounded by pillows that smell of my mates. “Oh, you’re a stinky girl, and I’m sure you’re hungry too,” I nearly gag at the smell of her diaper as her cries turn into soft sobs and whimpers. “Hey, stop your crying, Mumma has you,” I reassure, carrying her over to the changing table with fresh diapers and cloths to wash her with. “You’re so pretty like your Da, you have his hair, even the curls,” I giggle while laying her down staring at her beautiful locks that are identical to Embry’s. Roan quickly calms down at my voice and touch, making my heart melt at how easy it is to sooth my pup. “Your brother snores like both Da’s and can sleep through anything…” “Just like his Mum,” Osric interrupts me while coming into the room with a towel wrapped low around his hips. “I don’t sleep that heavy,” I laugh, and shake my head at Osric’s comment while glancing over at Gunnar who is in a deep sleep spraw
