Jonathan's POV “Are you sure you’re up for this?” I ask Jyrki, after mounting the large black horse he has waiting for me. “My grandchild needs me; I’ll always be there for whatever they need me for. Adaline would want me to do whatever it takes to keep them safe,” Jyrki answers as he mounts the large chestnut colored horse next to mine, then begins to lead our way in the direction of Dagon’s retreat. “You’re a good man Jyrki, Adaline would be proud of you and how dedicated you are to the girls, despite your pain,” I give him a respectful nod, knowing Jyrki has always been a good family man. “They’re my girls, Addy and I helped Gideon raise those girls like were our own children. They’re my daughters,” Jyrki admits, checking our surroundings for any clues to Dagon and his men changing direction. “With a mother like Rebecca, they certainly needed you and Adaline, it’s very clear Raven and you are quite close.” I shake my head at the memory of Rebecca and the things she put Raven th

Liliana’s POV“Freya,” I groan, stretching my arms out as I open my eyes to find I’m in the dark. The room is pitch black, and it feels like I’m on a bed with a soft blanket underneath me, I move my arm feeling for anyone or anything near.“Freya!” I panic, whimpering when I realize we aren’t at home and the only scent I recognize is Freya’s.“Lily,” she groans, when my hand finally meets something warm and solid as my eyes adjust to the dark room.“Where are we?” I ask, as Freya grabs my hand that is touching her thigh and pulls me close. “I only know we’re in some sort of cell, there is a sink and a toilet in the corner, a shower in the opposite corner… oh and the bed we’re on,” Freya answers, as I feel her hands wander over me like she’s checking me over for injuries.“Are you ok? Do they know?” I move my hand over Freya’s navel and focus on feeling for our baby. I take a deep relaxing breath when I feel the little life inside her womb, making Freya whimper in relief.“Thank you, I

Trigger Warning: TortureLiliana's POV“Lily, I’ll be ok don’t fight him,” Freya begs me through the link as she struggles against Dagon’s grip. “No Freya, this is not ok. You are pregnant it is my job to protect you,” I link back while shaking my head staring Dagon in the eye hoping he will back down for once.My heart races when the corners of his lips curl into a smile at my growl, when he flips Freya over, so they are face to face.“Hmm what should I do with you?” Dagon pins her wrists above her head and stares down at my mate like she is a blank canvas ready for him to do whatever he wishes with.“Do you want to tell me what you’re hiding?” Dagon questions, standing at the edge of the bed holding her down by her throat.“I won’t tell you anything that will give you leverage on my mate or any other kingdom, you’re a monster that will never gain power again.” Freya spits in his face, which only him chuckle as he wipes the spit away then back hands her, making me thrash in James’ ti

Liliana’s POV“I see you’re quite angry, you know how to stop all of this. Hell, you tell me how to get Raven away from her mates and I’ll treat you like a queen. I’ll make sure you and your mates want for nothing,” Dagon offers, making me laugh hysterically and shake my head.“Do you really think I’m so weak that I would betray my twin sister to the likes of you?! I would die before giving my sister up, then again what would you know of loyalty?” I ask him, as I continue to focus my aura on James behind me.“I know you’ll happily give up your life to protect hers, just like she would do the same for you. Why do you think I brought your mate? Will you sacrifice her, to protect Raven?” Dagon grabs the knife again and holds it to Freya’s chest, slowly drawing a shallow line down to her belly button.“I won’t have to,” I smile at him when I feel my aura take over James, I know he’ll follow my every command. I might not have control the way Raven does, but I have enough control to protect

Raven’s POV “Let him go!” I yell at the warriors trying to restrain Ryder in the middle of the front lawn. Only minutes ago, he started screaming in pain trying to tear into himself; he is now pinned to the ground fighting as hard as he can to get free. “Ryder! Ryder look at me, it’s ok.” I fall to my knees beside him. Grabbing his face, I make him look up at me. “I said let him go!” I snap at the warriors still holding Ryder as he struggles against their grip. “It’s Freya,” Ryder growls as the warriors reluctantly let him go, they go to grab him again when he reaches for me. “Don’t touch him! Ryder will never hurt me!” I snarl at the men, fighting my urge to tear into them, knowing they don’t know better. Ryder holds my forearms, tears flood his eyes, he shakes his head, while he groaning in pain. My heart breaks when I see cuts appear on his face, dripping blood down the side of his head. “It’s going to be ok, she has Liliana. Vaari will get them soon,” I sob, sitting down, pull

“Raven?” I hear Vaari’s voice when I force the link between Jonathan and I. “Vaari, what’s wrong with Da Jon?” Phoenix’s panicked voice comes through. I open my eyes to see I am riding horseback and looking at Vaari on a chestnut-colored horse with Phoenix in front of him. “Fuck,” I curse under my breath when I look down at my hands only to see they’re Jonathan’s hands and that I’ve taken over his body. “It’s ok Phoenix it’s just Raven, she can control other lycan’s, and apparently others she shares a link with,” Vaari reassures, stopping his horse then turning to face me. “Why is Phoenix with you?” I stare at her as she watches me with a very confused expression. “She followed us, she said she needs our help,” Jonathan answers through the mind link, making me close my eyes and shake my head. “She followed you, and you didn’t bring her home?” I give my vaari a very pointed look, making Phoenix blush and nod. “Da Jon looks funny wid red eyes, I tolded dem dey need my help to rescue

“Ok how do we do this?” I ask while cradling Gunnar and Roan who rest in the sling around my torso. I stare up at the giant gold and black dragon in front of me.“Follow me up, stay between his shoulders so you don’t fall,” Rhys instructs while showing us how to climb up Draig’s stretched out front leg, giving us an easy way up.“If you need to hold onto his spines, hold onto the ones in the middle when he starts flying; it’s easy, you won’t fall if you sit still,” Rhys shows us to the middle of Draig’s back, to his shoulder blades between his wings where the spines start that run along his entire length of his spine.“Careful, his scales are sharp if you rub them the wrong way,” Rhys warns, as I look down at the beautiful black scales that are tipped with gold. “Thank you, Rhys, this is new for all of us.” I lean against one of Draig’s center spines, as Eya and Ryder sit beside me with Anarchy and Aiden cradled in their arms.“Gideon is set to lead the rest of our warriors home, with

“Astrid, it is good to see you again. Would you send for dinner to be brought up?” Embry stops at the base of a grand staircase, I see that the stairs lead up to a set of large heavy wooden double doors. Ruby growls when I look over at the short blonde curvy woman who appears his age, I try to quiet my lycan, knowing my mate isn’t interested in her.“Of course, Beta Embry, do you require anything else?” She bows her head then looks around at us with curious eyes. “King Embry,” Ruby snarls, as she pushes forward forcing the words past my lips. Embry blushes and Astrid’s eyebrows to pinch together in confusion.“Raven it’s ok, this is Astrid, she oversees all the servants within the castle. Astrid I am King now, and this is Queen Raven.” Astrid’s eyes grow wide before she bows, “My apologies my King, my Queen. I did not recognize you, nor did I intend to offend; I have only heard your voice. I did not realize King Embry is going by his proper title,” Astrid apologizes, ignoring Ruby's p

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
