Raven's Daring Ambition 23. Creation
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

Osric’s POV“Where is Embry?” Raven asks, as her eyes wander the room looking for our missing mate.“Ash got restless from being worried so he went on a run.” I brush my fingers cross the short hair along the side of her head, causing her to lean into my touch.“Osric’s right, you are ours. I think it’s amazing that you found a way to protect us while protecting Freya who needed you most. I still had you watching over me, I had my father, Mummo, Vaari, Osric, Embry, and Liliana always watching over me as well. You were forced into an impossible situation, and we’re all here and we’re ok, you did the right thing,” Raven moves further up in my lap so she could rest against Jonathan as well.“You’re something else, I’m glad I have you three,” Jonathan softly smiles down at Raven who blushes and nods her head.“So are you. I’m so happy you’re with us, when you left to follow Embry, I was afraid of losing you both. You’re a part of this family, and you’re going to be a father again,” Raven

Raven’s POV “How long are we going to stay at Silver Moon?” I ask, looking over to Osric who is riding a gorgeous black Clydesdale on our way to Benjamin’s pack. I look down at my pups, who curl tighter against my body as I hold them, while sitting on a giant chestnut colored Clydesdale, with Jonathan behind me. “A few days, to rest, I know you and Liliana are still exhausted from yesterday. Bloodwrath Castle is still a day’s ride at this pace, and Hale Castle another day,” Osric answers, as he looks around at all of the warriors who are escorting us to our new homes. “Phoenix will be happy to be in her new home; hopefully Liliana and her mates will be able to stay.” I shiver pulling Jonathan’s warm arm tighter around the twins and me. “Cold?” Jonathan teases with a gentle kiss against the back of my neck, sending a chill down my spine as I nod then giggle. “She will be, she’s become quite attached to you,” Embry mentions from our other side where he sits on a grey Clydesdale, gif

Raven's Daring Ambition Epilogue
Raven's POV 17 years later "Rhys, Draig, it is great to see you, I'm glad you came when I sent word," I greet Rhys and his father at our front gate. "I came as soon as I got word of what happened to Roan, how the hell did something like this happen under your nose?" Rhys demands in a deep threatening tone. "Rhys," Draig hisses at his son's lack of respect. "No, it's quite alright Draig, he is her mate and I would rather see him protective of my daughter than not care at all. My mates and I wondered the same thing; Jonathan tore apart the young man's mind, then killed him after finding he raped her to shame her for being a better warrior. He was hoping to break her, thinking she was a threat to his position among the guard. He got Roan alone when she was expected to be out riding," I explain while leading our way through the stone corridors towards our chambers where Roans quarters are. "Who was meant to be with her?" Rhys growls when we reach the stairs that lead to our chambers. "
Raven's Daring Ambition 91. Dagon vs. Raven
Osric's POV Once Raven is face to face with Dagon, I slam my sword into the ground creating a barrier around them keeping everyone out, and more importantly, them in. "No, you have no choice but to face your past," Bane forces his way forward and speaks through me. It has been a very long time we have waited to watch Dagon face his proper punishment. "Once Dagon is gone, there will be no more fighting, if you wish to continue to threaten our world be prepared to live in a dark cell for the rest of your short life before you are executed! This war has been going on for far too long, and it ends now!" Liliana calls out above everyone, who slowly stops fighting to watch Raven and Dagon, to see how this battle will truly end. "Lower your weapons if you wish to survive past this battle! Now!" Ryder orders, stepping up behind his mate. "Lace your hands together behind your heads and kneel for my people to take you in," Ingvar adds, before motioning for his soldiers to cuff those who surre
Raven's Daring Ambition 90. Summit
Raven's POV "Ready?" Osric asks, once he has tightened the last buckle on my new, black dragon scaled, armor that Draig brought me as a gift. "I think so, this armor is incredibly light and flexible," I mention while twisting and turning to test how comfortable I am in it. "Good, it's been spelled to move with your body, to shrink and stretch with your shift. Lycan form, wolf form or human, you will stay in your armor it'll adjust to your body; Draig recruited mine and Phoenix's help," Osric confesses, I turn to face him and wrap my arms around his uncovered torso that shows of his beautiful tribal tattoos. "You are incredible," I whisper before standing on my tip toes and kissing him. "Is everyone ready?" I watch Embry walk in as he adjusts his kilt while tucking in his white tunic. "Yes, Eya and Bjorn have the little ones in the safe room, where Thane, and an entire company of guards will be stationed to protect them," Jonathan answers, adjusting his cuff links when he appears beh
Raven's Daring Ambition 89. Vampires & Hybrids
Ryder's POV The vampires were easy to convince to host the summit, once they realized Liliana and I were fair to their people. They quickly learned that we wanted to lead them with respect and kindness and in return gave us the same respect. Yeah, there were a few rebellious types but we dealt with them when the time came. Ulric and Gregor agreed to share the position as my second in command and have helped me navigate being king. Without them I would have floundered finding my footing, but once I earned the respect of the kingdom things came naturally. Learning that Freya didn't plan to rule with the same iron fist and fear as her father helped, it gave voices back to those who had kept silent for centuries. Shortly after getting our kingdom in order, I recruited Ares and Phoenix's help to find the hybrids and their leaders. We found small pockets of hybrids among packs, covens, in rogue communities and among humans. They were afraid when found but eventually came around, thanks to
Raven's Daring Ambition 88. Witches & Wolves
Maturity Warning: Sex, BLBenjamin's POVHelping King Osric has been an honor, and for the most part, easy. The lycans and werewolves are happy to follow their kings' and queen's position on fighting Dagon. King Silas, king of the rogues, was the hardest to find and convince out of all the wolves. I don't blame him either, he's watching over many of our people who have been born outside packs, and aren’t welcome because of prejudice.In all honesty, the witches have been the hardest to convince, even with Helena and Phoenix helping smooth the way. It was only when Osric joined us, revealing Odin, that the leaders of the covens began to trust us. Phoenix enjoyed being around the witches and made friends with everyone she met.Nine months later; July 15th, the day before the summit."Daddy, wake up!" I hear yelled as I roll over in bed, hearing Ares still snoring beside me. "Papa! Make Daddy get up, we need to go to breakfast, the witches are coming!" Phoenix climbs onto our bed and beg
Raven's Daring Ambition 87. Humans
Ingvar's POVNine months I was given to gather the support of the human realm and that is the time it took to convince my government that the lycans, werewolves, vampires, dragons, witches and hybrids were real, and not a threat.In the beginning, my leaders thought it was a joke. I was bounced around from superior to superior to plead my case, it took me bringing in King Draig, Alpha Benjamin, his pup Phoenix and Lord Gregor to meet the Finnish Prime Minister and President with me, for them to finally believe the reality of our situation.Once I was able to properly plead my case, not only did I get the full support of my nation, but all surrounding nations who were aware of Dagon’s broadcast. During their own investigations of the supernatural species, they discovered many were peaceful and few were aggressive. Other nations were already aware of supernatural species and live in peace with them. They were thrilled to help garner permanent peace and end the threat many of them were w
Raven's Daring Ambition 86. Dragons
Draig's POV Trying to gather the clans together to fight Dagon, has been a monumental task to say the least. The dragons aren't afraid of him, but they should be, they didn't see the magic his followers wielded or the control he has over them. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it firsthand, I still can't believe the smug look on his face when he faced Osric. It didn't matter how I explained the danger to each clan, they still had a hard time believing me. It wasn't until I captured one of his sycophants, with the help of Alpha Benjamin and Ingvar, that they finally believed the power Dagon possessed and took the treat seriously. Even with proof, my people were still reluctant to participate in the summit, they thought we should stick to our own but eventually gave in, sending people form each clan to the summit with a reserve of warriors. The plan Ingvar suggested to Kings Osric, Embry, Jonathan and Ryder was for the dragons to be on the outside, trap
Raven's Daring Ambition 85. Proving Grounds
Liliana's POVWalking out onto the landing at the top of the stairs that lead to the courtyard, with Anarchy nestled in my arms, I can hear cheering. Peering out I see warriors surrounding the center mat where I see Ryder duck under a woman's foot when she tries striking him with a round house kick."Look, Daddy's showing his warriors what kind of man he is," I speak proudly. Pulling Anarchy higher up, I face her towards the training grounds and let her back and head rest against my chest and shoulder. "And he is doing well." Freya walks up behind me with Aiden in her arms as Alana stands behind on her other side."Watch how they both move, she's very well trained," I comment, pointing out how graceful both Ryder and this woman’s moves are; it's like watching a dance. "Rayna has been trained by Gregor since she was a girl, she's the only woman here who is properly trained, she can beat any man here except Gregor, Ulric and Christian," Alana explains, as I continue to watch Ryder shift
Raven's Daring Ambition 84. Rayna
Ryder's POV "Gregor, I had planned to talk to you later but now seems like a perfect time. I plan to overhaul the training program, I want to open training to women, children and everyone without a title, everyone will train. I also wish to break down daily training, mornings will be for children as the first part of the school day, afternoons will be introductory training for women and those who have had no access to training, evenings will be for intermediate adults, and there will be a second group in the evenings for elite skilled warriors who will now be called Deltas," I explain, Gregor and the trainers who have gathered all nod as they take in the changes. "I will not have anyone in this castle defenseless nor will things be separated by status. Eventually we will be integrating hybrids into the kingdom and we will fight to defend them." I earn disgruntled chatter among some of the warriors at my mention of hybrids. This time I let Christian stand to face me when he speaks ou
