Raven's Daring Ambition 39. Sacrifice
"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. Any pa

Liliana's POV"So I will make the bonds between werewolves and their lycans?" I look up at Clover. She stands over the basin sitting on the white pedestal as I stand by the basin sitting on the lavender colored pedestal."Yes, you will bind the lycan spirit to the host, giving them heightened senses and making them stronger, you will also make the bonds for wolf and dragon shifters, you're the Goddess of Life you are responsible for the living." I freeze hearing Mummo's voice come from behind me."Mummo, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" I watch my grandmother move towards me. A tear falls down my cheek when I notice she looks different. She is pale and glowing, very ethereal, more like the Moon Goddess we know she is."It's ok Pentu, Dagon has attacked Silver Moon. During the attack your father was killed. I took his place, he is the new Moon God. I couldn't let Dagon take him from you girls, and his unborn daughter," Mummo explains while taking my shaking hand into he
Last Updated : 2023-05-30Raven's Daring Ambition 43. New Reality
Gideon's POV"I love you son," I can barely hear her when I feel warm lips against my temple. The same warmth slips into my heavy body, as the warmth spreads, I feel my limbs slowly grow lighter. I can't move when the person holding me falls limp. I hear gasps and soft sobs as my chest feels heavy knowing it is my mother."You did it Kulta, you saved him," I hear my father cry; I force my eyes open while sitting up taking a deep sharp breath. “Mutsi, Isä.” My heart stammers when I look over to see my mother lying limp in my father’s arms as her best friend holds them, trying to comfort him.I shake my head thinking losing Mutsi always seemed impossible. My mother was the Moon Goddess; nothing was supposed to be able to kill her. She has always been the one to protect us all."Gideon, I... I'm s so... sorry," Eya stutters when my eyes focus on her quivering bottom lip, and I notice the tears slipping down her cheeks. I'm numb to the tingles that graze my cheek when her hand caresses th
Last Updated : 2023-06-01Raven's Daring Ambition 44. Breathe
Gideon’s POV "Gideon," Eya speaks, when I feel the tingling of the mate bond against my jaw. I blink and shake my head bringing myself back out of my thoughts. I focus on her touch as I stand with my arms braced against the shower wall letting the hot water run over my head, chest and back. "Hey, look at me." Eya slips between me and the wall, pulling my gaze down to hers. My stomach sinks seeing the sadness and worry in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I got lost in my head. Are you ok baby?" I brush the strands of brown hair away from her face. I try to focus on my mate rather than everything assaulting and overloading my senses. It is strange to have my senses so heightened, everything is more intense, as is my connection to the moon, but instead of me just connecting to my pack and family I can feel all lycans and werewolves. I can't even begin to understand how my mother learned to deal with these feelings, and how she did it for so long. "I'm ok, I am just worried about you," Eya admit

Gideon’s POV "Nikki." I reach out and greet him, he squeezes my hand and gives a gentle nod as Eya leaves us to talk. "How are you doing?" Nikki asks, following me inside towards the sitting room. A smile tugs at the corner of my lips when I see Kitty sitting on a cushion on the hard wood floor coloring with Phoenix. "I still have no idea, it's weird knowing she is gone; and it’s strange getting used to feeling everyone and everything," I answer, sitting down in a dark blue armchair near the stone fireplace. "It will take time to get used to, Addy has always been here. It's also gonna take time getting used to you being our Moon God," Nikki admits, walking over to a bar in the corner of the room and pouring two drinks. Receiving one of the drinks from Nikki as he sits in the adjacent chair and watches me. I ignore my friends gaze and stare at the amber liquid as I swirl it around the heavy glass tumbler, trying to piece together how all this shit happened. "Thank you, it really w

***Memory Continued***Gideon’s POV"Gideon get him out of here now," Osric's command gently washes over me giving me the push I need to rush to my friend. My bottom lip quivers when I look him over to see he has been beaten to a bloody pulp."Angel." I grab his arm pulling him away, there is no resistance or movement, he is completely limp and not making any sound."Angel!" I yell, trying to rouse him as I pull him into my arms, only to realize he isn't breathing. "Wake up Angel! Hey, I need you to move! Wake up!" I shake him trying to get any sign of life out of him when I hear Helena scream behind me as she collapses to the ground. She pulls Angel from my arms and as she wails at the loss of her son. I sit, completely frozen, staring up at Osric who is holding Draven against the wall."What did you do?!" Osric throws Draven to the ground and towers over him. This is the first time I've seen Osric like this, and it is beyond terrifying, I've seen him train with Isä and have trained

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
