Raven's Daring Ambition 34. Snack Time
"Mummo," I smile, making my way downstairs to go on a walk with Embry and Jonathan, Mummo is waiting with a sweet warming smile. "Pentu, how are you feeling?" She questions, reaching out and pulling me into a warm hug. I look back, hearing more heavy footsteps on the stairs, Osric nods as he makes his way down the staircase to my side."Good, we got the twins down for a nap, Osric just asked Dad and Eya to listen for them. We are about to go on a walk to stretch out after such a long ride, you and Vaari are welcome join us," I offer, I giggle when I feel something small suddenly connects my legs.I look down to see Phoenix hugging me as she is chased by Hati and Skoll who are now tumbling towards the sitting room."What are you doing?" I brush my fingers through Phoenix's hair, swiping it out of her face to see her cheeks are red and with a huge smile lighting up her face."Playing with the kitties, I heard you say you're gonna go on a walk, can come?" she asks before giggling and cur

“This is really tasty; you have done an excellent job. Where are Gunnar and Roan?" Liliana compliments, when she takes a breath after kissing her mates, looking around the room for her niece and nephew. “Eya is upstairs laying down with Dad, they’re listening for the twins, I'm guessing Anarchy and Aiden are laying down too?" I grab a piece of orange from the fruit plate, relaxing back in my seat. Liliana smiles and glances over, as I feel Osric's warm hands rubbing my shoulders sending comforting tingles through my muscles. "Yes Kitty and Nikki are listening for them, they're exhausted from the ride. Raven is right Ares; these are excellent. Yeah, we’re both gonna have to mug Mummo for her recipes; she might have taught us, but she never wrote them down." Liliana agrees with a giggle, giving Mummo a playful glare. "Any suggestions on where we should take the girls to walk?" Osric asks, after a moment of us all stuffing our faces on delicious bungeoppang. "Just walk around the prop

Benjamin’s POV "What's in there?" Phoenix questions, pointing to my mother’s workshop that is about a hundred yards from the main pack house. "That is your Mummo Deborah's workshop, she kept all her books, crystals, candles, and other items she used to practice witchcraft. This will be somewhere safe you will get to learn about your magic with Adaline and Helena to help teach you," I answer, walking towards the workshop's heavy wooden door. I smile, thinking about the time Mai and I spent here, always saying how her workshop looks like a cottage that belongs in an old medieval village. "Did my mumma learn here?" Phoenix asks, looking up at me, and I nod with a wide smile. "Yes she learned from our mum here, she didn't have magic quite like yours, but she did have some. This will all be yours." I nod motioning to the building, when Gideon comes outside and joins his daughters. "This place is very special, and your grandmother would have wanted us to teach you all about your abiliti

Osric's POV"Embry," I speak while walking across the room to where he and Jonathan stand guard by the stone fountains."I need you to go help guard Gunnar and Roan, I know Raulin, Kitty, and Nikki are capable, and Mum and Phoenix are very strong with magic, but I trust no one as much as I trust you. Right now, I need to know they're safe so I can to focus here to keep Raven and Liliana safe," I admit, looking into his brilliant blue eyes making him nod."Of course, I was going to ask to go and look after them. It would be different if Angel and Karen were here, you trained them and they’re both Gamma for a reason. I know Raven and Liliana will kill all three of us if we leave our pups unprotected. Just stay safe, both of you." Embry hugs me before kissing my jaw, and pulling Jonathan closer."We will stay safe and make sure no harm comes any of our family, you stay safe and if you need help, ask for it." Jonathan hugs both of us, then presses his lips to Embry's."Go, let me know wha

"Tear this pack apart!" Dagon orders, stepping further back hiding amongst his men; when more lycans appear from behind him. Dagon's eyes widen when he sees many of our warriors shift into lycans instead of wolves catching him off guard."With Pleasure," Sasha cackles, unsheathing a sword from under her cloak she swings at Gideon, who quickly parries her attack."You're not getting near the fountains, nor will you touch either of my daughters!" Gideon growls in her face, throwing her back making her heels skid in the gravel."Stand down," I order the lycan fighting against my grip, he shakes his head then rakes the claws from his other hand across my ribs and chest.“How does he have an army?” Benjamin calls out through the link, as he does his best to fight against the warrior in front of him. “He’s always had allies, when the barriers went down for us it must have affected all lycans, including some wolves he has on his side,” Jyrki explains through the link connecting to all of us,

"No," Adaline cries as she reaches out grabbing her son’s hand, watching Eya break down as she holds her mate. "I'm sorry, Rakas, I love you," Adaline's voice quivers when she looks up into Jyrki's dark eyes. He nods his head in silent agreement, he grabs a dagger from his belt and places it in her hand in full support of what she is about to do. "I know Kulta, I love you. I will keep them safe," Jyrki promises his mate. I understand what they're planning to do, and I know I would do the same for my children. I don't know how she plans to bring him back, but I know the cost of such power is a life. "Look at me Pentu," Adaline cups Eya's cheek pulling her into her gaze, "your child will not grow up without his father, I promise you will not be alone." Eya whimpers at Adaline’s words, I try and fail to bite back my growl, knowing Raven and Liliana will be crushed and furious when they return to us. "No, Osric don't let her do this!" Mum cries, when Bjorn grabs her around the waist,

Raven's POV "Osric!" I scream out when I find myself in a place I can only describe as a dark void; filled with what looks like silver wispy shadows in the shape of people. "Lily!" I call out, trying to figure out where I am. The last thing I remember is being in the workshop with my mates playing with Phoenix when I touched the opaque swirling substance that filled the fountain. "We are in our realm, where souls go when our people die," I hear a familiar voice behind me. I quickly turn to see Ruby standing in front of a basin that is sitting on a carved stone pedestal. "Ruby, what is this place, how do we get back?" I ask, walking closer trying to figure out why I’m here. I look around to see things slowly take shape, it is like we are in an ancient castle that has been reclaimed by the forest. "This is where you will carry out your duties to guide the dead, these fountains are how you'll place them where they belong, helping them move on. This realm is like limbo, where souls co

"Mutsi, what are you doing here?" My father growls, his grip loosens before he rushes to my grandmother's side."Calm down Mussukka, I know you're not happy with this. You don't want to lose me, but I will not let your children grow up without you. My little Raven and beautiful Liliana are not ready to lose you, neither are Eya and your unborn pup. I'm ready, I have lived a very long time and it's time there is a new Moon God," Mummo explains while placing her palm to her son's cheek, then kisses his forehead.“I’m so proud of the man you have become, you’re such an amazing father and I won’t let you or your children lose that,” Mummo presses her forehead to his and takes in a deep breath of her son’s scent. "Mutsi, there has to be another way," My father’s voice cracks as he shakes his head, holding her hand to the side of his face.My heart breaks for him, knowing he would make the same sacrifice for Liliana, our sibling to be, or myself; just the same I would do for my pups.

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
