Raven'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

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
Last Updated : 2023-06-07Raven's Daring Ambition 47. Dragons
Raven's POV "Osric!" I call out through the link, when something in the sky catches my eye as a large object blocks the sun. I shift, feeling uneasy, and pull Gunnar and Roan close; we are outside enjoying the fresh air with Liliana, Freya, and their pups. "I'm with Gideon, what's wrong Raven?" Osric questions, when my eyes widen realizing the large object is a fucking dragon. "Osric! Embry! Jonathan!" I position myself in front of my family, as the large black and gold dragon lands in front of us in the large field we are have been laying in. "Raven!" I hear my mates, my heart racing in my chest as I focus on the giant, lizard like, reptile in front of me. The dragon is almost the size of the pack house, and the gold edges of his scales glisten under the sunlight when the creature stretches its wings before folding them against its body. "Who are you?!" I demand, forcing my aura out over the dragon, knowing they're shifters like lycans and werewolves. "Raven, get back!" I feel o

Raven’s POV"Then you may have her, you will deliver Dagon a message for me. If he harms one hair on my sister's head or touches Freya, he is as good as dead. I will surrender myself, make sure to tell him to be careful what he wishes for," I watch the dark-haired woman's eyes widen when I throw her to Draig, like it is nothing. In all honestly it is an easy decision, he deserves justice for his mate, I know the pain of feeling your mate die and I am not about to deny him justice and revenge."Kitty, can you help Mum take all the kids inside and help keep a close eye on them?" I request, glancing over to see her and Nikki picking up Gunnar, Roan, and Anarchy as Mum grabs Aiden."Already on it, we have Raulin securing your suite for us to watch them, Phoenix, Rhys come," Kitty reaches out for Rhys' hand, making him shake his head."Rhys listen to her as if she is me, we can trust these people," Draig reassures his son, then looks to Kitty and Nikki who both nod."Now!" Draig growls, gr

Raven’s POV"What do we do now?" I ask when everyone is dressed. Unsure of what to do next, I look to Osric then Ryder as he stands beside Vaari and shakes his head."What do you mean, what do we do now? Are you kidding me Raven, you just put Gideon in his place like a child throwing a tantrum. You know we need to go after Freya and Liliana! If you don't go after my mates, I will do it myself!" Ryder growls, stepping closer to me, Osric cautiously pulls me behind him and growls at Ryder."Don't you dare take your anger out on Raven, she is doing the best she can and right now, she is the best chance of getting them back safely," Osric scolds Ryder, as Jonathan's hand slips into mine making me look up to see Embry standing protectively on my other side."I've never seen such insubordinate subjects, nor such protective kings of a queen who acts as a king," Draig comments making my mates growl while I smirk, finding his comment amusing."Raven is anything but an ordinary queen. Lycans ar

Raven’s POV "Mumma Raben is you weally going to bring Aunty Lily and Aunty Fweya home by staying wid da bad man?" Phoenix looks up at me with worry filled eyes, as I notice Rhys watching me get Gunnar to latch. "I will do what I have to in order to bring them home, it’s what I would do for any pack member, especially my sister. Dagon won't be able to hurt me," I explain, when Mum stands up and places Roan in my arm as she begins to fuss. "Can you move my dress so she can latch on as well?" I ask, sliding Roan down in my arms so she is at the right level to nurse. "Of course, here." Mum pulls the shoulder of my dress down, so it exposes me for Roan to latch. "Thank you, how are you doing Rhys?" I question, seeing him look around the room as he shrugs at my question. "I'm sad about my mom; I've been showing Phoenix the ABC book," Rhys answers, holding up his book, then looking down at my daughter in my arms. "I'm very sorry about your mom, I made sure to let your dad deal with the

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
