Raven’s POVOnce my sisters dressed me in black and red leather armor, and they finished styling my hair, I walked downstairs to see my devastatingly handsome mates waiting for me.I smiled, seeing Jonathan laying back into Osric’s lap with Gunnar and Roan on his chest while Embry sits under his legs watching them in awe.My mind wanders seeing them all shirtless with our pups, looking as delicious as ever. I place my hand over my navel and close my eyes, wanting to grow our family despite the sadness I feel for the daughter we lost.“Raven,” I hear my name called from behind me, I shake my head when Liliana pulls me out of my thoughts.“Sorry I got distracted.” My cheeks heat at the thought of wanting pups, and to ravish my mates.“I can see that; do you need anything before we go? I believe Vaari and Dad plan to take care of the pups,” Liliana giggles and shakes her head seeing my rosy red cheeks, giving away my thoughts.“I think I’m ready, are you?” I giggle, watching Michelle rus
After settling Roan and Gunnar with my grandparents, who have Nikki and Angel to help with the pups, I walk out onto the training field where the warriors and my family wait. “Is everyone ready?” I ask, looking to my mates and family.“We’re ready Alpha Raven,” Benjamin nods as he stands in front of Silver Moon’s warriors, with Ares by his side.“Very well, Alpha Ryder, Luna Liliana?” I look to Ryder, standing in front of the New Moon warriors, with Liliana by his side and he nods.“New Moon is always ready,” Ryder acknowledges with a proud smile, when Freya moves to his other side.“Always,” Liliana walks to my side, reaching out she grabs my hand, her touch calms my nerves as I take a deep breath and relax.“Perfect. By now, I’m sure all of you are aware of Dagon outing our people. Dagon is declaring war against our packs, and our way of life; he is wishes to pit all of us against each other, while building his lycan army to come in and finish off the rest. Only Dagon doesn’t have a
Adaline’s POV‘That’s not possible,’ I speak to my lycan, Artemis, who I can now feel stronger than ever. I stare at my granddaughters, recognizing what they’re about to do. I’ve seen this before, many times, and done it two different ways, one with a blood oath and one without, like what happened with Jonathan.‘It is, you always suspected who Clover really is. You know it’s real because we can feel all of them stronger, even the new ones,’ she replies, as I close my eyes and focus on the feeling I get coming from my granddaughters. I have only seen it as a little girl before my Aunt Diana was killed by her mate.“They are the Twin Goddesses of Creation, Kulta. You know what it means, and you recognize what happened, I could see it in your eyes,” Jyrki speaks through the mind link, as my eyes lock with his as he watches Raven and Liliana attempt the impossible.“It shouldn’t be possible, they shouldn’t be host to both. Selene and Diana weren’t Life and Death, they were both Goddesse
My brow’s furrow as the memory shifts into a different room that is decorated similar to my mother’s office, but the curtains are dark red, and the atmosphere feels cold and angry. “Dagon!” my mother screams in rage, standing over him as she holds her hand out, strengthening her aura as she forces him to his knees in front of her, in the center of Aunt Diana’s office. “Addy get behind me,” Jyrki snarls, pulling me further behind my mother as I stare at my Aunt Diana’s lifeless body lying on the floor in a large pool of her own blood. “No! Aunty Diana! What did you do?!” I screamed at the man who is supposed to be my uncle, as her blood drips down his hands from clawing out her throat and heart. “Jyrki get her out of here!” My mother instructs as she steps closer to Dagon, leaving a short distance between them. “No, don’t you dare!” I slap my mate as he tries to pull me from the room, and the door bursts open, revealing my very angry father. “You’ve only proven you are the monster
Liliana’s POV‘Clover how do we do this?’ I ask her, as I reach out to everyone with my aura, feeling for their minds, trying to figure out how to change them.‘You and Raven need to reach out to all of them together, feel for their wolves. You’re changing them fundamentally, making them evolve. For those with a lycan spirit you’re breaking down the barriers within, letting them connect for the first time in a very long time.’ Clover walks out and begins inspecting the rows of warriors who are kneeling, ready to fight for our people.I look back when I feel a hand on my shoulder, to see Mummo as she places a hand on Raven’s shoulder as well.“Trust me Pentu, I have to break down your walls before you can do this,” Mummo speaks through the mind link, gaining Raven’s attention and making us both nod.“We trust you,” Raven and I both link back as I close my eyes and focus on the feeling of my grandmother’s aura filling me and pressing against a wall I never noticed. The wall has always b
Osric’s POV‘Bane what happened?!’ I demand, gazing down at my mate who is limp and bleeding.I stare up at Bane, hoping he has answers like he always had when guiding me through my abilities, and the abuse I’ve suffered. Like Ruby, Bane showed up for me when I needed him most, when I was copping my father’s rage trying to protect my mother and brother.‘I don’t know, this shouldn’t be happening, she’s the Goddess of Death and one of the Twin of Creation. The supernatural realm hasn’t seen the Twin Goddesses since their great grandmother and her twin,’ Bane paces around us while running his fingers through is black hair, pulling it out of his face.‘Bane, you’re supposed to know this shit! You’re supposed to know how to protect her if I can’t!’ I snap at him, when I feel Jonathan’s hand on my shoulder pulling my attention away from Bane. I look up at him. feeling guilty and angry that I didn’t know how to protect our mate from this, and I can’t help her.“She’s going to be ok, trust L
Osric’s POV“Why didn’t you shift?” I follow Eya as she walks beside Embry into the pack house, who is carrying Raven.“Really da, you don’t know?” Eya raises an eyebrow at me, my cheeks heat and I shake my head, not wanting to admit what I have assumed.“He knows, he just doesn’t want to admit our little girl is having a pup,” Embry adjusts Raven in his grip, as he taunts me, earning a low growl from me, making Eya and Jonathan both laugh.“Come on, it’s not like you didn’t know this would happen eventually, especially since I’ve found my mate.” Eya looks up at me with a worried expression, I chuckle, and pull her under my arm as we ascend the stairs behind Embry.“If it makes you feel any better, I only just found out today, Raven kind of blurted it out when she was tipsy from drinking so much blood,” Eya admits while shrugging, making Jonathan laugh as he follows us into our room.“Your mate is something else, what she and Liliana did tonight should have been impossible, even for A
Osric’s POVI sit against the headboard wearing a pair of briefs, with Raven laying in my lap dressed in underwear and a tank top. “How long do you think she’ll be out?” Jonathan questions from the edge of the bed, now he is dressed in pajama pants. He sits staring at her longingly, making my brow furrow feeling his hesitation through the bond. It is like he is afraid to touch her or to be to close to us, almost like we would reject him or disappear.“She’ll likely be out the rest of the night,” I answer while running my fingers through Raven’s silky black hair, “I can’t even imagine the energy she put out tonight.”I stare down at my mate, enjoying the way her warm body feels against mine as she lays curled up in my lap, making Bane coo in the back of my mind.“I’m not sure anyone is meant do what she and Liliana did today,” I watch Jonathan’s green eyes scan over my chest, then back to our sleeping mate.“Why are you holding back?” I ask after a moment observing him, feeling how un
