Raven's POV

“It looks like we have a very active kid here. The heartbeat is strong and nothing seems amiss, everything is just right.” The doctor assures me, handing me a towel to clean up the gel on my stomach.

“Thank you so much.” I said.

“We're just doing our job here, no need to thank me.” He said with a smile.

He turned to the nurse in the room, giving her some instructions before facing me.

“Emm, when you're done here, please see me in my office.” He says to me.

“Okay,” I nod. He walked out of the room leaving me with just the nurse.

“Any idea what he wants to see me for?” I asked the nurse, but she just shrugged.

“Nope, but I'm sure it's nothing serious, nothing to worry about, okay?” She says with a smile.

“Alright, thanks for the reassurance.” I clean up quickly and out on my clothes, before heading over to the doctor's office.

“Come in” he answered after the third knock.

“Here, have your seat.” He gestured to the set opposite him.

I take my seat, folding my hands in my laps

I think you should call him now.” She said.“Okay.” I say,sitting up and removing my legs from her laps. I stretch over to take my phone.I stare at Maya and she smiles back. “It's okay, you can do it. I'm right here beside you.” She encourages.I nod once, taking a deep breath, I dial his number.“Hello,” I say. “Hello, Raven.” His voice comes in. He sounds so tired and stressed and my heart goes out for him.I ache to see him, touch him and soothe him. I want to take away all his worries, but how can I? When I'm the source of all his worries.I swallow the knot in my throat. “How are you?” I muttered.“Just there. And you? How have you been? You sound a little tired.” He asked, in a concerned tone.“I've been okay, I guess. It's just… I have something important to tell you.” I say, stamm

It's not something I could have ever thought she would say to me.Derek and Dale walk in, they see the look on my face. “What's wrong again? Please don't tell me it's another bad news?” Derek says, slumping into the couch.“Really, I can't handle any more bad news. Can we just take a break from everything?” Dale says, going over the bar to pour himself a drink.“Isn't it too early to be drinking?” Derek asks his twin.“Oh please, coming from you really.” Dale says, flipping him off. I take a seat on one of the velvet chairs, opposite the bar. “Shut it Dale, be serious.” Derek scolds him.“What is it, Asher? What happened?” He asked me.“I just got off the call with Raven now.” I say, staring at them.They both stare at me with expected looks. “And?” Dale asks, when I don't speak immediately.“Come on Asher, don't keep us waiting.” Derek says,

    Raven's POV There's a knock at the door. Who could that be? And by this time. We never have visitors, even the neighbors don't visit us.“Maya, are you expecting someone? Is Aaron coming to pick you again?” I asked from the room.“No, we don't have a date today..is someone knocking at the door?” She yells from the bathroom.“Yes, someone's at the door.”“Oh! Okay, you can go check who it is. But, be careful Raven. I'll be done in a bit.” She says. I can still hear the sound of running water. “Okay. I'm going downstairs.” I say, but she doesn't respond, which means she can't hear me again.I head downstairs, “Coming,” I called out to the person at the door. I wonder who it is.I opened the door and holy shit! My breath caught in my throat. I can't believe who is staring back at me.Asher, Asher Is here and he didn't come alone, Derek and Dale are also with him.“H— how did you get this place?

    Asher's POV Holding Raven in my arms again feels so good and relaxing. Just being in her presence alone helped calm my raging mind.My wolf is thrilled to see its mate again and has been pestering me to complete the mate bond back.He wants to breathe in its mate scent, the scent of vanilla and roses. Hearing the soft and smooth melody of her voice sends chills and butterflies in my stomach and makes me want to fuck her so bad.“I've missed you so much, Raven.” I say, staring into her eyes. She stares back at me with the look of shock, want and need in her eyes, guess she's not as immune to the feelings between us.“I… I have somewhere to be.” She says, loling everywhere but at me. I pull her closer to me, cupping her face. “Look at me Raven, don't you feel anything again?” “No— no, I don't. I don't feel anything. I'm only allowing you to be here because of our child, nothing else.” She muttered.“Liar,” I said.“What?” She exclaims, narrowing her eyes at me. “You're lying. I ca

    Raven's POV “So tell me everything that happened while we were away. Were you able to settle things? What did Asher say to you?” Maya asked as soon as we got to the kitchen.“Sshhh, Maya. Keep your voice down.” I cautioned her. She had no idea that as wolf shifters that we are, our hearing is impeccable.I've no doubt Asher and the rest will be trying to listen in on our conversation.“Sorry, sorry. I just want to know how far.” She says, whispering. “Come with me.” I pull her deeper into the kitchen and put on the gas, this should block out voices a little for now.“So?” She asked, when I don't speak immediately. I take a deep breath and face her.“I have not made any amends with him.” I told her.“What! Why?” She screeches.“Keep it down, Maya.” I hissed at her.“Sorry, but why?”“It's a lot more complicated than that. I can't just up and forget everything because he's here.” I explained to her.“But, Dale told me they had found the person responsible for your brother's death and

After dinner, we said our goodbyes with Asher promising to keep in touch and Dale advising Maya to limit her walks.“Oh my God, what a day!” Maya yawns, closing the door behind them as they take their leave.“Thank you Maya, for being there for me today and making such a wonderful dinner for us.”“Oh come in, Raven. Come, let's sit.” She pulls me towards the sitting room, where we take our seat on the couch.“There's nothing to thank me for. What are friends for? And surprisingly, I also enjoyed their company. Dale is all flirty and playful, but I sense a predator within those gentle eyes of his. And Derek, he seems so cold on the surface, but I studied him well and he's not like that.He's very cautious, calculative and observant. He's smart, but d

What are you doing here in my bookshop?” She asked again.I move closer to her, closing the distance between us, so we are only an inch apart I trace my fingers down her face. “I came to see you Raven, I've missed you “ I whispered slowly to her.“You saw me just yesterday. What do you mean you miss me?” She asked, frowning.“I know,but even if I don't see you for just a minute, I'll still miss you.” She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes.“You can't just show up at my workplace unannounced just like that.” She whispered, yelling at me.“Why are you whispering? No one can hear us from here and there, no one out front in the first place.” I said to her.Her eyebrows knit together, “You need to leave now, Asher. You're disturbing me here.”“I can't leave now, Raven. I'm h

That's so thoughtful of him. I mean, Bryon was your little brother who Isla killed and he was the only member of your family that truly loved and cared about you.Asher did a good thing naming your son after him.” Maya said with a smile on her face.“Yeah, I wasn't expecting him to name our son after my brother but he did it for me and I'm so happy.For every time I look into my son's eyes, I'll always remember my little brother.” I said with a sad smile.Maya turned to my sleeping son in the cradle. “Hello little Bryon.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.Everyone saw you two leave the party early yesterday. 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.

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. I wonder where he gets so much strength from. I mean he's just a little kid, and it hurts a lot.” I said, wincing again as he kicked me.“Sorry, baby. It proves that our boy will be very strong and capable just like his mother.”“Me? Nope. I'm not that strong. He takes after you in strength. You're the one who's strong.” “Fine then.
