Raven's POV Asher looked up at me dumbfounded with hurt in his eyes.“Okay, I think we all need to calm down now. Raven please calm down. You're hurting right now and we all know it.Let's not say hurtful things now, things we'll regret later.” Dale says, trying to douse the tension.“No, I'm calm now, calmer than I've ever been before.” I say, wiping away my rears furiously.“It's all Asher's fault. If he had only believed me when I told him Bryon was innocent.If he had trusted me enough and let my brother go, he wouldn't be dead now. My brother would still be alive by now, here with me.” I yell.I keep pacing back and forth the room, raking my fingers through my hair. Asher walks up to me slowly but I back away from him. “I can't, I can't right now. I can't do this anymore, Asher.”“What're you saying Raven? What do you mean by "you can't do this anymore?” He asks, breathing heavily.I shake my head, slowly drawing farther away from him.“It hurts too much. Everytime I see you,

Asher's POV I watch Raven slowly leave from the corner of my eyes. Tears escape from the corner if my eyes and I wipe them away.Ever since the death of my parents, I've never shed a tear for anything or anyone until now, until Raven.Raven ripped out my heart, broke our mate bond just like that. She didn't even think twice before doing it, before ripping us into shreds.My wolf howls in pain, pain unlike anything I've ever felt before.The pain was so blinding and heart wrenching, I thought I would lose it. But she just walked out the door, leaving me all alone here.Derek and Dale helped me to meet. “Asher,” Derek starts, but I cut him off by holding up my hand.I don't say a word neither do I want to hear anything from them. I walk up to my roon, into our bedroom.Raven's scent still lingers in the room. She didn't even bother to take any of her belongings with her.She really wanted to escape this place,vecape me.

Raven's POV Whoever said life was easy, lied. It's hard as fuck and sucks too, and the crazy thing is, nobody has the mind or gut to admit to it.Everyone, I mean everyone likes to live in their little delusion. Everyone has a secret to keep and a story that needs to be told.Hurt is everywhere, for both humans and shifters, we both practically drown in its essence.Yet we all pretend like it doesn't exist or matter and we are fine, when deep down we decide ourselves.But everything within us screams in agony and outrage. Our soul pleads that we should be honest and true to ourselves at least once in our lives.It begs for us to tell one person and the very second that we do that, everything becomes better.But the moment that one person we became vulnerable to shatters everything we struggle to admit.Then the world becomes nothing but emptiness and darkness.For a moment, life isn't as hard as it seems, we only make It so.“Jesus Raven!” Maya calls from the doorway, making me star

I need Raven, I need my mate back into my arms.I need to smell her sweet scent of vanilla and roses to help calm me down.I huff out a breath, sifting my hands through my hair, I look at my reflection in the glass of my office.I look like a mad man. My hair is way overgrown, my beards look so tacky, they need to be shaved off.My eyes are close to bloodshot now. I close my eyes briefly, breathing in slowly.I need to control myself, my pack is falling apart, everything isn't going the way they should.Fear permeates my pack members, they're all scared and afraid of me now, and who can blame them?

Asher's POV I take a seat opposite Alpha Jackson and Edward. Derek leans against the wall with his arms folded.Dale stands by my side, Liam and Connor are seated close to Alpha Jackson and Edward, staying by their sides.“Welcome to my pack.” I sat, once seated. “How may I be of help to you?” I ask, crossing my legs.“Alpha Asher, the one people call the Cruel Alpha. Hmm, nice to finally place a face to the name.” Edward says, smirking.I snort, “Seems you've heard a lot about me then.” I say, leaning forward with my elbows on my knees.“But you see, I don't know you nor have I heard anything about you.So why don't you do us the honors and introduce yourself.” I say with a forced smile.“Oh yes, I'm sorry. I should have led with an introduction.” He said, placing a hand over his chest.“My bad. My name is Edward Pierce, I'm what people will call a pirate. I come from the sea, but I'm also a merchant.”“A merchant?” Derek asks, raising a brow at him. Edward faces him, a smile on his

Raven's POV “Raven, let's go!” Maya calls out to me from the stairs. Today, we are going to check out my former workplace and see if they can still take me back “Coming,” I yell back. I still needed to pack some things before going downstairs.She's always in a hurry, I don't know what's chasing her.“You're slower than a tortoise.” She shouts. I roll my eyes, muttering to myself, “Drama queen.”“Alright, alright, I'm here now, no need to bring down the house with your voice.” I say as I reach the base of the stairs.“Oh please, I don't have a loud voice.” She flicks her hair.“Yeah, yeah, you don't.” I guess out, shaking my head at her.“Did you grab the keys?” I asked, as she made her way to the car.“Oh shit! I forgot again.” She swears, turning back to the house.“I got it already. Look at you, always forgetting things, are you an old woman?” I tease her and she flips me off.“Keep talking Raven, I'm not listening.” She singsongs, swaying her hips to the car “You're driving, n

Raven's POV“So tell me, what's the story behind Aaron?” I ask as soon as we step into her office.Maya flops into her seat and I take the seat opposite her, staring at her.“Oh no, don't look at me like that now, Raven.” She says, scrunching her eyebrows at me."Like how? How am I looking at you?” I ask, smiling.“You know Raven. You have this puppy look and your eyes are shining mischievously. I know that look.” She wags her fingers at me.“Oh come on Maya, just answer the question that's all.”“Uhuh, huh.” She says, shaking her head.“What can I get you? Coffee or tea?” She asks, changing the subject, but I won't let go so easily.“You can't change the subject Maya, you're going to give me an answer. Coffee, please.”“Alright, coffee it is then.” She says, picking up the phone.“Please can I have two cups of coffee sent to my office now? One should be black coffee and the other—” she looks in my direction.“Not black, with a little sugar.” I whisper to her.“The other one should be

I know I'm a little early but better early than late.“She'll be with you soon, Asher.” Maya tells me, making her way to the kitchen.I nod slowly in acknowledgement. “Thanks Maya”“Do you mind coffee? I'm going to make some now.” She asked.“I don't mind, thank you.”“Alright, I'll be back in a minute.”My phone pings, a message just came in.

Raven's POV Pacing around Asher's room, thinking of everything that was said downstairs.I rub at my temple, feeling a headache forming.What they are asking of me is too much and difficult too. How do I do that? Explain to my best friend that I turn into a wolf sometimes, that I'm not entirely human and there's a world out there that contains shifters and a lot more.That's insane, but at the same time they have a point too. I've seen the way Maya looks at Derek, the way her eyes light up when he's around her and she hears his name.This is the first time I've seen her look truly happy with someone.I don't want to ruin that, I want my best friend to be happy too.And if what Asher thinks is right, that they might just be mate then it's highly expected for her to know who he is and the kind of person she's getting herself involved with.But how she's going to take it, is what I can't tell.

Raven's POV “Raven, Asher's here for you.” Maya called out to me from the door.I was washing the dishes we used to eat just now. “I'm coming.” I called right back.“She's coming, come in and have your seat.” I hear Maya say to him. I quickly finish up on the dishes and head straight to the sitting room.“I'll leave you guys alone now.” Maya pats me on my shoulders, winking at me before leaving for her room.“Hey,” I say, in greeting.“Hey.” He smiles up at me, patting the spot beside him for me to sit.I sit down beside him and he pulls me closer to him. “I've missed you.” He whispered into my ear.I shiver at the contact. “What? You saw me just a few hours ago, why miss me now?” I asked, a smile curving on my lips.“Raven, if I don't see you for just a second, I'll miss you. I need to have you with me constantly. Do you understand?” He regards me with golden eyes. I suck in my lips, nodding my head.“Good. Now don't suck your lips like that, it makes me want to do dirty that's to

Asher's POV “So, how did it go with Maya?” I asked Derek as soon as we settled down at home. Dale wasn't in sight, saying something about how he needed to sleep off the betrayal.So it's just me and Derek in the sitting room. “What are you talking about?’ he asked, feigning ignorance. I raise my brows at him.“Oh really! Don't start with me now, Derek. You know exactly what I'm talking about.”He takes a deep breath. “Actually, I really can't explain how it all happened, because I'm still shocked over the whole thing.We were together at the club and after I got your message not to come back home I decided we should all hang out at their house.That's how we got to their house. Dale, of course added wolf weed to our drink again, saying it will be best for us to be free and have enough fun.Then things got pretty heated after that.

Raven's POV After eating the pancakes, Asher drove me back home. The door was opened when we got there.“Strange, did Maya forget to lock the door?” I wondered, looking back at Asher.“Hold on, let me.” He said, leading the way. He opened the door, shielding me behind his back.Asher suddenly stopped moving, making me smack my head on his back. “Ouch, why did you stop?” I ask, peering over his back to see what made him stop.Dale was spread out wide on the couch, snoring gently with a bottle of whiskey still in his hands and popcorn littered on the floor.My brows knitted together, “What's going on here?” I asked no one in particular. “And where's Maya?” Just as I was about to head upstairs and check for her, Derek emerged from the stairs in only pants and socks.He was shirtless and his hair messed up, his glasses nowhere to be found.He hasn't noticed us yet, still rubbing the sleep away from his eyes while yawning.“Well, good morning.” I say, startling him.

Asher's POV “Wake up for me,” I whispered gently on the back of her shoulder.“No, I don't want to.” She grumbled sleepily into the pillow.“Come on, Raven. Wake up.” I said gently again.“I just need a minute or an hour more perhaps.” She mumbled sleepily into the pillow.I kissed and licked her shoulder. “It's almost noon.”“What!” She sits up at once, eyes wide open In shock.“What's the time now?” She asked, facing me.“It's 11:30 am, almost noon. You haven't had anything to eat yet.” I told her.“What! How— I mean, how did I sleep for so long? I'm usually up by 7 or 8 latest.” She shakes her head, musing over how late she woke up.I kiss her on the cheek, “I must have worn you out then, because you slept so soundly, I didn't want to disturb you.And I loved hearing those cute sounds you make with your nose.” I say, scrunching up my nose.“I do not.” She says, giving me a pointed look.“Oh yes, you do. You need to hear yourself.” I snickered.“Asher, do not mock me this morning.

Raven's POV Seeing Asher standing in the club brought all kinds of emotions and feelings to me.At first, I was shocked and happy to see him, glad that he wasn't harmed or in any form of danger, that he was safe.Then those feelings changed to anger and disappointment. Disappointed because he just left without a word or anything.Anger, because he felt like he could leave and show up anytime he likes and demand things from me.I was livid with the statement he made while I was dancing with my handsome stranger. I was just starting to enjoy myself, letting go of all my worries, just for him to show up and ruin everything.I wasn't going to pay any attention to him before, until I saw how hard his wolf was riding him to give up control.I saw his bloodshot eyes and his fingernails elongated, I could hear the growl over the noise and knew things would turn pretty bad if I don't step in and handle it.That's why I asked the stranger with me to leave because his presence wasn't helping.

Asher's POV “Take your hands off her now.” The menace that slithered into my voice made Raven freeze and the man with her watched me warily.I'd spoken so softly, so steadily. But, the danger was there, sending a trickle of trepidation to anyone who heard me. “Do you know him?” The guy had the audacity to ask Raven. Raven stared at me dumbfounded, the look on her face morphs from that of shock to anger.She turns to the guy beside her, places her hands on his shoulder and smiles sweetly at him.“I have no idea who he is or what he wants.” She says to him and then turns to me.“If you want to dance with me, get in line. As you can see, I'm already with someone right now.” She scowls at me, annoyance all over her face.I know she's mad at me and she has every right to be but right now, I'm on the edge, my wolf is on the edge too.Ever since I found out she was here tonight, I've been riding on the edge of destruction.I came straight here form the pack, only to see some random guy ha

Raven's POV “Any news about them?” I ask Maya once I got into the car.Maya arrived at the bookshop not too long ago to pick me up from work.“Yes, I got an address to their house.” She answered, reversing the car out of the parking lot.“How were you able to get the address so quickly?” I asked.“Well, I asked around if anyone moved in recently and someone was kind enough and showed me the apartment where a group of guys just moved into.That's how I got it.” She says, winking at me. I shake my head at her. “Oh Maya, you're the best.” I say, smiling at her.“Should we go there now before going home?” She asked.“Alright, let's do that.” Maya drove over to the address. “This is it.” Maya points at the house before us.The house is huge, it's two times bigger than ours. Well, I'm not surprised. Asher never does things in moderation.“Let's go find out what's wrong.” She says, taking the lead.Maya knocked on the door repeatedly but no one answered.“I don't think anyone's at home.”
