That's it this is the end of Raven's series. I do plan to continue the rewrite. Starting September 1st the rewrite will be released by episode. Check out my social media for updates.
“Raven, Pentu, look at me… focus on me, what do you feel? You’re the Goddess of Death, you will always feel death and their souls when they move through the veil, focus, what do you feel?” Mummo grabs the sides of my face and makes me look into her dark eyes that show endless wisdom and time.‘Raven get in there!’ Ruby screams in my head, trying to pull me into the fire to find our pups.“I feel… I feel Jacoby’s death, I feel Thane is on the edge… I can’t feel anything else, Mummo they’re in there. Phoenix, Gunnar, and Roan are in there with Ares and Kitty,” I nearly scream, feeling so much panic coursing through me as I try to focus all my energy on the burning structure in front of me.‘They can’t last forever! Raven, move, the fire won’t burn you, our pups need you!’ Ruby orders, trying to force me to move and walk straight into the fire.“I have to get in there,” I cry while forcing myself from Mummo’s grip, not exactly sure what to do or how, but I need to find my pups.‘I will p
“You did dis!” Phoenix points to Valery and Michelle as I stand behind her looking, watching Michelle’s reaction of shock and confusion while Valery looks afraid.“You twied to kill Alpha Queen Raben and my Gunnar!” Phoenix’s scream is full of rage as her hair begins to rise like she is floating in water. I look down and shake my head unable to believe what I am seeing; the ground beneath her feet is scorched.“I…” Valery tries to speak when Phoenix raises her hand and clenches her fist, silencing Valery, who looks around to everyone for help.“No lies! All you speak is lies! You only eber hurt Raben, you hewlped habe her hurt and bwamed it on Michelle!” Phoenix raises her fist making Valery rise until she’s hovering just inches off the ground, unable to move.Michelle’s eyes widen in horror as I watch Thane slowly limp his way to her and pull her into his arms. She whimpers as she can’t take her eyes away from her twin who has done nothing but betray her family.“You, your mate worke
“Where are they?” I frantically look around as a whimper escapes me, feeling the strongest urge to hold my pups and never let them go.“Right here, I have them right here for you,” Dad’s voice comes from behind Embry, making my mates move apart.“Thank the Goddess,” I sob, rushing to grab my pups from him, pulling Roan and Gunnar into my chest feeling like they can’t get close enough.“They’re perfectly fine, Phoenix protected them well,” my father’s voice softens as he does his best to reassure me, watching my mates holding our pups and me.“I’m so sorry this happened, I know it is because of Dagon’s fear of me. If Phoenix hadn’t been with our pups they’d be gone,” I cry into Jonathan’s shoulder as my body shudders in exhaustion. My mate pulls me deep into his arms, holding the three of us close using the bond to the help soothe my frayed nerves.“Shhh, you have no reason to be sorry Rakas. None of this is your fault,” Jonathan speaks softly, rocking me in his comforting embrace. I f
“I…” “Don’t think about it Bunny, I know you’re feeling lost and overwhelmed about everything. Let your mind rest for now and let us wash you,” Osric stops me from letting my thoughts run wild, and I nod knowing he is right.“Thank you, I love you,” I softly speak while wrapping my arms around his broad muscular shoulders after he pulls my chemise off, leaving me naked in front of him. I take in a deep breath, closing my eyes letting his warmth seep into my body as I let my body instinctively mold around his hard muscles.“I love you too, we’re going to be ok,” Osric whispers against my neck, he presses his lips to my shoulder while soothing me with the trail of tingles his hand leaves behind, as he rubs my back.“And I love both of you too,” I softly speak after stepping out of Osric’s warm embrace. I step into the hot shower where Jonathan and Embry are standing back-to-back, bracing themselves against the shower walls letting the water flow over them beneath the flow from two showe
My allies, friends, family, and I, sit around a meeting table as we wait for Mum to lay Phoenix down.“Osric, help Mum,” Embry raises an eye brow and scolds our mate, making me giggle watching Mum come into the office carrying a tray of tea.“Did she go down easy?” Ares questions, getting up he is quick to help Mum pass out the tea, she smiles at him and nods.“Right away, Phoenix adores that boy, she curled up around Gunnar and Roan and passed right out, she’s exhausted,” Mum answers while patting Benjamin’s back, as she passes behind him.“She should be, the amount of energy she must have exhausted was incredible,” Benjamin chuckles, then shakes his head, and stares down at the table in disbelief. We look up, when tension begins to grow, as Thane and Michelle enter the room to stand guard behind Ryder and Liliana.“She used an enormous amount of energy, I haven’t seen a witch with magic like hers in centuries,” Mum admits, with a slight bit of worry coming though in her voice. She s
“Back to the matter at hand, Mummo or Mum, do Phoenix’s abilities pose any threat to us?” I ask, shifting over to Embry’s warm lap and pull his arms around me, needing to feel his body against mine. Relaxing into his arms I am reminded of the comfort he gave me after my mother’s death.“She’s a very powerful threat to her enemies, but she’ll ever be a threat to us so long as no one betrays Raven, or Gunnar. Her bond to him is very strong, and she knows these packs are her family, she’ll do anything to protect that,” Mummo answers, after taking a sip of her tea, and I nod in understanding. It makes sense Gunnar would be Phoenix’s biggest trigger since she knows he’s her mate, her instinct to protect him is very strong.“What if she loses control?” Ares asks nervously, he holds Benjamin’s hand between his and rests his chin on their clasped hands with his elbows resting on the table.“Her magic is different to a Lycan Alpha, she won’t lose control in the same way. Yes, she can get overw
“Everything ok?” Freya’s voice is laced with concern and I nod with a slight shrug knowing things aren’t ok, but they will be eventually. “She’s afraid of hurting them and being rejected and having to go back to being a rogue,” I answer while sitting in Jonathan’s lap.“She’s had a rough life, hasn’t she?” Freya whimpers a little before taking a deep breath, as Liliana holds her hand hoping to calm her mate.“She has, but she’ll be ok. Ares and Benjamin are exactly what she needs,” I reassure with a slight smile, I’m glad to see the concern she has for her niece.“She seems to fit in perfectly with them. I can’t imagine having that kind of power, let alone being afraid of it,” Freya looks over at Liliana who has a grim expression as she nods to me knowing that’s how most of my upbringing has been.“Phoenix has had it hard, but it will get easier than I had it in some ways because she has people who know about her abilities and can help her learn. I always grew up scared because no one
Osric’s POV “Did you sleep?” Embry sits up against the headboard and yawns as I glance out the window to see the sun beginning to rise. “No,” I shake my head and take a deep breath as I watch Raven sleep protectively curled up around Gunnar and Roan, who are sleeping on my chest. I have spent the entire night stuck in my head watching them, afraid to close my eyes thinking I will wake up to find out they’re gone and this is just a dream. “You need to sleep,” Embry stretches making me smirk seeing the thick muscles on his arms flex, he runs his fingers through his brilliant red hair brushing it out of his face and blushes noticing my gaze. “I know, I just couldn’t stop watching them… we almost lost everything,” I do my best to remain calm despite how angry I really feel that my family is in danger again. What kills me the most about the whole situation with Dagon being alive, somehow, after I killed him. Somehow, this motherfucker came back to not only haunt me, but he is now hell
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. "
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
