2024-11-05 17:04:08Raven’s POV
Finally home after a long day at the bookshop. I just want to lie down somewhere, stretch my legs and relax.
I'm suddenly craving ice cream now. The sound of my phone ringing somewhere in my bag brings me back to reality.
Maya's calling now, she's probably back from her work trip.
“Hello”
“Ravennnnnnn” she screeched out loud, making me move the phone away from my ears.
“My goodness Maya, do you want to burst my ears”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry. Raven, guess who has been promoted?”
“Oh my God! You don't mean it, Maya, have you been promoted?”
“Yes Raven, I'm now the new manager of my firm” she said happily.
I couldn't help it. I screamed along with her. Maya has been working hard for the position, she deserved it.
Maya was the only one who welcomed me five years ago, gave me shelter,.fold.and clothes. She supported me throughout , I wouldn't be alive today if not for her.
“I'm so proud of you girl, you did it”
“No Raven, we did it. I couldn't have done it without you”
“So when are you coming back? We have to celebrate this”
“Of course we do, I'll be back tomorrow and we…” The sound of knocking cut short our conversation.
“Hold on Maya, someone's at the door”
“Alright”
“I'm coming” I shout out at the person at the door. Which could that be? No one pays me a visit.
Opening the door and I was left dumbstruck. The person behind the door is not someone I thought I'd ever see again.
“Ma…Maya, let me call you back” I say, stammering out. I didn't wait for her reply before cutting the call.
“Hello Raven”. That voice, the voice of the person I thought would be my protector but became my tormentor.
My brother Axton Blackwood, beta of my father, the Alpha of the Midnight pack.
I thought I'd left it all behind to start afresh. Axel being here now is not a good sign.
“Ax…Axton”. I stammer out, shivering at his sight.
“Won't you invite me in Raven” he says with a smirk on his face.
“What do you want, Axton?” strolling past me into my sitting room, he looked so out of place in my tiny apartment.
“Hmm, it's cozy here. Suitable for you” he says sitting down on my favorite couch.
“I left, Axton, what else do you want?”
“You left, Raven, do you think leaving changes anything” he sneers at me, standing up to meet my eyes.
“Well, father wants you back and I'm here to bring you back” he says sitting back down and crossing his legs.
“What! I'm not going anywhere with you”
“Oh Raven, when did I say you have a choice, you leave with me or I drag you with me, and do you know what else is at stake?”
Trembling at his words I asked “what?”
“Bryon. You don't return and he dies”. He says, without remorse. Bryon is out little brother, how can he say that
“You can't do that” I say pleading with him, but he raises one eyebrow, a look that says try me.
With a look of defeat I say
“Fine, I'll go back, I just need some few days to clear work.and inform my friend”
“None of that, we leave tonight”
“What! I've got a life here, I can't just up and leave it all” I scream at him. Walking up to me, he held me up by the neck, strangling me.
“We leave now. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes, Yes” I force out
“Good , let's go”. He says, dragging me out with him. I don't get the chance to lock my door or take my phone.
How do I contact Maya, she'd be so worried about me. Axton doesn't care as he drags me towards a black sedan car, back to the place of my nightmare.
Nothing's changed in the pack, even after five years of staying away.
The look of disgust among pack members as I pass them by. Axton drags me towards my father's office.
“Alpha, we're back” Axton says, knocking on the door
A booming voice replies “come in”, and I am dragged into the office to face my Father.
My father spins his chair facing us. I stand there shivering at his sight. I've always been terrified of my father.
“Raven, Raven, Raven” he says, taunting me. “You think you can run from me, tsk, tsk, tsk”.
“Alp…Alpha” I struggle with the words.
“Don't you dare!” He says, causing me to flinch. “You excuse of a daughter. Do you think you could hide from me” he says, laughing out loud.
“You rope your younger brother into it too right?. I own you Raven! Whatever I want to do with you I can” he sneers in my face.
I just keeping staring at my feet, unable to look up at me
“Look at me when I'm talking to you!” I slowly raise my face to look at him.
Nothing's changed in all the five years, Nicholas Blackwood still looks the same, maybe with a few white hairs now present.
He looked a bit rougher around the edges, it seemed his viciousness made him look so rugged, but his attitude was still the same.
He takes a deep breath, as if to calm himself “Now, you will do as I say or you suffer and Bryon suffers too”
“You have been sold to Asher Silver, Alpha of the Shadow pack”. He says so casually, but to me, a bomb has been dropped on me.
Asher Silver, known as the Cruel Alpha, how could my father do that. He really hated me to the point of selling me off.
The look of shock on my face must have been so evident because my father suddenly snapped at me.
“Do you have a problem with it Raven”
“Father please, you can't do this to me” I beh me, dropping to my knees and holding his legs
“Get off me you this degenerate” he says, kicking me in the stomach, making me wince.
But I don't stop begging him, and don't let go of his leg
“No father, please don't do this, I'll disappear forever, please father please”
“It's done, you will be sold to him for the good of the pack” he says with one final kick on my stomach, making me release him.
“Take her away from here Axton, lock her up in the dungeon where she belongs
“We'll bring her out for cleaning later, so she can look presentable to Asher”
“Yes Alpha” Axton replies
Axton pulled me up by my hair, dragging me out of the office. I don't try to fight it again.
It so useless now, nothing going change. Axton throws me into the cell, the same one I was in five years ago.
“Stay here and don't cause a scene” he says before locking the cell.
The tears just keep streaming down my face. I thought I escaped all this.
Ever since everyone found out I was a latent wolf, the torments and torture never ceased.
I'm useless to the pack and my father hates me just for that, I was a disappointment to him. It seems fate didn't like me at all.
Back into the place of my torment just because my father thinks I'm useful to him now, he never cared before when I left.

Asher’s POVThe sound of knocking on my office door brought me out of my thoughts, the smell of pine wood immediately notified me of the presence of my beta Derek.“Come on in Derek” I said while trying to sort out the paper works on my desk.“Alpha” he said, bowing his head slightly as a sign of respect.Derek Shale, one of my betas, a brother of mine, my loyal right hand man. Cold and calculating in nature, but not someone to be underestimated. Dale Shale, my other beta, also a brother of mine, is my left hand man. Fiery and hot-tempered in nature, a flirt and the pack's playboy, also Derek’s twin. Strong and loyal at heart too. Derek and Dale have been close to me since we were children, they are my childhood friends. We may not be brothers by blood, but we are brothers bound by our pain, suffering and loyalty to each other.“It’s time for us to leave now” he said from where he stood by the door.“Yeah, I almost forgot about that.

Raven's POVEnergy hums the air, causing the hairs along my arms to stand on end. Power radiates all around. Silence all around, whispers here and there. I knew immediately the Cruel Alpha had arrived.Don’t breathe Raven and don’t look up, I tell myself. Maybe if he sees how useless and weak I am he will let me go free and decide he has no use for me. I mean I could hope for that right.The wolves enter the clearing on both sides. The midnight pack which is my pack and the Shadow pack. Even after centuries of rivalry and talks on peace treaty, both packs still don’t see eye to eye, tension permeates the air.Today, to prevent a war from breaking out and to keep the end of the bargain my father, Alpha of the Midnight pack made Asher, the Alpha of the Shadow pack, known as the Cruel Alpha by everyone. I’m being used as the bargaining chip or should i say i’ve been sold to the Cruel Alpha.The presence of so many Alphas causes my wolf to be restless but I don't shift or rather I can't sh

Asher's POV The pack enforcers and some other members of his pack are all gathered at the clearing, all to witness the exchange and serve as a witness to our deal. I could hear the murmuring and whispering of the pack members, no doubt in fear of what might happen if things don’t go smoothly. After all, I'm known as the Cruel Alpha and my reputation precedes me.Moving forward, I catch a scent so sweet and pure, a scent of bliss. My wolf purred within, urging me to trace where the scent is from and from who.Standing right at the center of the crowd was a petite female, looking so meek and gentle. Slowly, cautiously, I allowed my gaze to drift to her. Studying her blond hair, highlighted with silver strands, cascading around her shoulders in loose waves.Her dark eyebrows arch over her midnight dark eyes that ensnare me. She wears a simple pair of blue jeans that hug her curves and show the swell of her ass and a pink sweater that accentuates the swell of her breasts.This woman’s sw

Raven’s POVFrom the expression and look on Asher’s face, I could feel him trying to make sense of the situation, the wheels turning in his head.His eyes seem to grow distant for a while like he’s communicating something to his betas through the mind link.Suddenly, his expression changes from longing and want to that of fury.Anger radiating from him, even the pack could feel it too, from the way they seem to scurry back away from him. Scared of him.My father seemed tense and shocked. Sweat trickled down my back.Have I done something wrong? What could suddenly be wrong? I thought, from my side eye I could see my mother glaring at me as if this was all my fault.“What’s the meaning of this”. Asher asks in a booming voice “How dare you tie her up like a slave! Let her go”. He directs his words to my father, who seem to flinch at his anger .My father looked so scared right now, if not for the situation we are in i’d be laughing right now at the look on his face.I didn’t think Asher

Asher's POVThe little woman in my arms looks so tense. I could understand, giving the situation of things and with the kind of reputation I had. I mean, I clearly just threatened her father with death not quite long. I really wonder why her wolf seems so quiet and doesn’t want to show herself. I could clearly see she was strong. Perhaps there's more to it and I'm going to have to figure it out.I had mind linked to Derek to inform the staff at home on our arrival and get everything set and coordinated when we arrive.The drive back to the pack didn’t take more than 30 minutes. Stepping out of the car, I could see her in awe of her surroundings. My pack is no small pack, no doubt bigger than the Shadow pack.We have worked hard to build all that we have now from scratch. My mansion is the biggest building in the pack, standing out amongst the others.“Come in, this is your home from now on”. I said ushering her inside the house. She shivered a little as I placed my hand on the base

Raven's POV Asher led me to a room, the room was so dark, you could sense the lack of a feminine touch here.“Well, this is our room Raven,” he said, switching on the light.“But it’s just one bed here. Are we sleeping on the same bed” i asked him“Yes Raven, i can’t allow my mate stay far from me” he says “But in my pack, my mother never stays in the same room with my father ever” I say looking up at him.“Well, maybe that’s your pack’s way of doing things. But, we don’t do that here in Shadow pack.I want you close to me, it helps calm my wolf and me”. He says with a hint of want and desire in her eyes.“Okay, I understand. I also feel the same way. What I mean is that my wolf totally agrees with you on that”. I said and I could see him trying to hide his smile.“Well then, let me leave you to change so you can come down for dinner”. He says, kissing my forehead before striding out of the room, closing the door behind.It all felt so surreal, with Asher out of the room I could fina

Asher’s POVThe scent of vanilla and roses wafted from the staircase to the dinning, indicating the Raven is on her way down. Raven came down and walked towards the dinning looking all radiant and beautiful in the dress I picked out for her.My wolf purred at her sight. The short yellow dress stopping at her knees, was stunning on her, guess I picked out the right size. The neckline and waist had thin strips of delicate lace with floral pattern emphasizing the deep-v neckline, showing a hint of cleavage, more fitted around her curves.The color was a perfect match to her blond hair, accentuating the color of her eyes. Her curves were enticing to touch. She rocked the dress so well my wolf wanted to claim her here and now in the presence of all our staff to show that she belongs to us.“Absolutely perfect” I murmured, standing up to meet her by the landing. I could feel the tension rolling off her as I neared. Too scared to look up at me, instead stared at her feet.I raised my hand

Asher’s POV“Alpha, there's a rogue wolf close to the pack's territory” Derek informed me through our mind link.“What of the enforcers?”“You asked them to guide the house”“And Dale?”“Can't reach him”“Fine, I'm on my way out now”“Come into the house, I want you guiding the house too”“Does this have to do with your mate?” He asks and I could sense the taunt in his voice. “Don’t you start with me now Derek”“You’ve become so possessive over her Asher”“Watch your tone, she’s my mate and soon to be Luna of our pack”“Yes. Yes, yes, I know that. I’m just teasing you, calm down” He said laughing“I’m on my way”Leaving Raven is difficult but it’s necessary, given the situation of things. My wolf urged me to go deal with the threat and return back to our mate.“I have something urgent to take care of, I'll be back soon. Don’t wait up, I might stay long, "I inform her.“Alright, I'll change and go to bed then”.Stepping outside the house, I met Derek on his way in.“I should come with

Raven's POV Two years later “Bryon, don't do that, come here. You need to take your bath now.” I chuckled as Matilda chased Bryon round the house.At two, he was a force to reckon with, always full of mischief and trouble.He was really a handful, thanks to his godfathers and godmother who kept spoiling him and teaching him all the mischievous things he does, most especially Dale.Asher walked in with Dale behind him.“Da.” Bryon screamed, running towards him. Asher bent down and scooped him up.“Hey my little Alpha. How are you doing?” He asked and Bryon blew bubbles on his face and giggled.“Your boy is really a handful.” Matilda said to Asher, putting her hands on her waist.“Is that true? Have you been giving Matilda a tough time now, hmm?” He asked Bryon who just pouted back.Bryon turns to Derek. “Der.” He says, pointing at Matilda. He's reporting her to him.

You're so cute.” She says, rubbing his chubby cheeks.I smiled at them. “Dale's going to blow a fuse when he learns of the baby's name.” Maya said, happy with the decision made.I burst out laughing. “He will get over it, after all I'm already making him and Derek his godfathers

What was it for, hmm?” She asked, sitting on the floor with her legs folded under her butt.“I was just tired last night and asked Asher to take me back to the house, that's all.” I said.

When we got back to the house, I got something to eat because I didn't realize I was starving at the party.Then, Asher told me he had a surprise for me later on.”“And what was the surprise?” She asked with a smirk playing on her lips.“He prepared a romantic night for us.

That's why I'm the best.” I said with a smug look.“Yeah, yeah, you're the best, we know it. No need to sound so smug about it.” She said, rolling her eyes at me.I gestured to her orange juice by her side, she still hadn't finished it yet.“Finish your juice, at least for now.” I said.“But I'm stuffed already, I don't want to.” She whined.I cocked my brow at her and inclined my head, an expression that screamed you have to.With a huff, she picked up the glass and downed the entire juice like it was a shot of tequila.“There.

Asher’s POVI stopped dead in my tracks taking in the sight of Raven.She stood there in the white sleeved dress, flowing down to her ankle.She stood there looking like a Greek goddess, with those little gold trimmings accentuating the design of the dress.Her white creamy skin tanned to match with her blond hair and gave her skin a healthy glow.She had her hair bunched up in some kind of elegant updo that looked tousled with a few strands falling down the sides.She was breathtakingly beautiful and even my wolf growled in appreciation.She stared at me with that heated look in her eyes that made me want to claim her right here.If not for the audience we have, I would have had her bent over and fucked her thoroughly.I crossed to her with a smile on my face, sliding my arm around her.“You are sensationally beautiful, your beauty shines in the dark and radiates all around us. Sorry, I'm a bit late.” I whispered into her ear.She looked up at me with a smile on her face. “Thank you.

I understand, no need to apologize.” He assured me in a soothing tone.“How's my baby boy doing today? I didn't get to talk to him this morning before I left.” He asked and I smiled.“He's doing fine, at least he has made his presence known to me today so many times with the force of his kicks.
