Vaughan Pov‘We should have forced the truth from him’. Zane said as I made my way to the car, to where Raven and Hank were already seated waiting for me. ‘That wouldn’t be easy. He has something up his sleeves, we need to trudge carefully with him’. Zane might act brashly, but I make it up with my sharp wit in evading troubles for us. Dorian was smart and acting without caution might endanger Raven.It seemed I had underestimated Alvin all along. He couldn’t just show up in Dark Valley, if he and Dorian weren't planning something. From his reaction, after he saw me I knew he was hiding somewhere. “What was it with Alvin’s visit?”. I asked, sitting close to Raven. She wasn’t crying anymore, but her eyes were red. “He is a spineless fool. He obviously came here to get help from Dorian, about the attack”. “Well good riddance to him”. Dorian would never help for free, but that was his darn business not mine.“And also Dorian’s reaction to seeing her with me, indicated he knew about e
Vaughan’s PovHer lips opened up to my intrusion without any delay, and my tongue quickly invaded her mouth. My hands went up to the nape of her neck, to guide her deeper into my mouth. The feeling of kissing her was like having a taste of sweet cherry. From the way she reacted to my kiss, I knew she had never been kissed before, and it made my heart hummed in satisfaction. Not that I cared about who she had kissed in the past.My other arm caressed the arc of her small back, as I gently pushed her soft body against mine. Our bodies were the perfect mold for each other. I released her lips, and she gasped for some air, but I didn’t allow her to get enough, as my lips landed on hers again. Her arms slowly hooked around my shoulders, as she craned her neck.Then my arms went down to the curves of her hips as I placed my hands in her buttocks, gliding her over my body as I lifted her up in one swoop. I moved to where the vanity was, and placed her on it gently, while sucking on her bott
Vaughan’s povI sat up from the bed, as sleep evacuated from my eyes instantly. My senses were alert. I was naturally a light sleeper, but for some reason anytime I slept beside her, I always slept too deeply. I heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, but I got up, not too convinced Raven was inside the bathroom, although I could still perceive her scent. The side of her bed was already cold, which meant she had been up for quite some time.I gently opened the door of the bathroom, in case she was there, but to my dismay, I saw the opened tap that was running. I rushed out and glanced at the door to notice the door was locked. My eyes landed on the opened sliding glass that led to the balcony. I should have known that something could go wrong, when I saw the balcony. I had scanned the area before I had slept off, but It had been useless.I saw her sprawled on the cold floor of the balcony. She was sound asleep. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding. How did
Raven’s PovI knew something had happened that prompted Alpha Vaughan to leave for RedMoon even though It was still dark. The blood I had seen on him was evidence something had gone wrong, but he told me it wasn’t something I shouldn’t worry about, as he had already taken care of it.Yet when we arrived he had told me to get more sleep, and he would be back after a while, but he still hadn’t returned, even though I was back from my practice in Minka’s house.I walked around the packhouse, indecisive if I should swallow my pride, and go to his office or just head back to my room, and wallow in worry all day. While I scanned around I noticed a man talking to a lady, but on a closer examination I observed that the lady’s head was slightly bent over, and her hair covered a part of her face. He seemed oddly familiar to me. He saw me, then he began to pat her shoulder, but she flinched a little. Her eyes darted around, until it landed on mine. He whispered something in her ears, and left
Raven’s PovThere were so many eyes on us as he pulled me away, and it made me feel like I was being taken to be thrashed. “What did I do wrong?”. I asked him, but he didn’t answer me. His hold on me wasn’t tight, but I didn’t bother resisting him, and just followed him. In the corridor before we got to our room he stopped and pinned my arms above my head, making it difficult to move. He then crashed his lips to mine. There was a fierce urgency in the way he kissed me. It felt like he was holding onto some restraint, and it might break off anytime soon. He bit my lips, and I felt a little tinge of pain, but he sucked at it, easing the pain away. His body pressed against mine so hard that I felt his weight a little disturbing. It was as if he was trying to pass a message at the intensity he kissed me. He suddenly released my arms, and gazed at me through his darker hues. His deep breath fanned over my face. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them I saw a look in his eyes. Had
Raven’s PovI felt my cheeks burn from embarrassment, and tried to turn my back to him, but he brought his lips down to mine, kissing me passionately like his life depended on it. Then swiftly he took off my bralette, and immediately my hands went up to cover my breasts. He might be used to seeing women go naked at his behest, but I had never undressed in front of anyone else.He began lathering my body with soap, and started washing me gently. I was glad he was behind me. When his hands touched the injury on my thighs, I felt the air in the bathroom change for a few seconds, before it became normal again. I knew he was angry about it. I had told him it was Della that had caused the burns, when he once asked me about it. I was glad we hadn’t run into Della in Dark Valley, unless I was sure he would lose his cool. He grabbed the hand shower, when he was done washing me, and began to spray over my lathered body. He directed the water on my breasts, and I felt my nipples tingling with
Raven Pov“I’m…I’m sorry…I didn’t…”. I stuttered, moving backwards but Alpha Vaughan dashed to me, enveloping me in his arms, but I wriggled away, not believing what had happened. “Are you okay?”. I scanned his whole body “You are not hurt, are you?”. My trembling hands went to his chest making sure he was okay, but he held my hands in his. The same hands that had almost hurt him. “I. Am. Fine”. He mouthed, smiling at me. He leaned down, and I felt his warm lips on my hairline. “You could have gotten hurt…you saw the…”. I sighed deeply, at a loss of what to say. How could he act as if didn’t see what had happened?! I stared at my hands, finding it hard to believe that whatever had crashed the window was from me. I peered at Alpha Vaughan, who was already scribbling quickly on the notepad, then he handed it to me.‘I’m not hurt. It would take more than just your energy to kill me, and even if I die in your hands, a happy death it will be’. ”I don’t want any of this”. I whispered,
Raven PovAlpha Vaughan still held me close to him. My mind had calmed a bit, but I was still confused. It had felt like a memory, but at the same time it had scared me beyond belief.‘Was it a nightmare?’. “I’m not sure if I can really call it a nightmare”. I whispered. Remembering my grandmother’s face before I had woken up. The next minutes was spent retelling Alpha Vaughan what I had dreamed. His eyes were hooked to mine, as he listened to every word I uttered, as if his life depended on it. ‘That was like a part of your memory, and maybe some part of it was concocted due to your own fear about everything that's happening around you’. He stared at me.“I don’t know, but she…she killed those people”. I cringed recalling how the men had fallen down, after she emerged from the fog. “Why would she do that?”. I asked in confusion. ’I think your perceptions about your abilities are altering your memories, and making it seem like something bad, and if she had killed them, then I thi
Vaughan pov“No no…I would never. I owe you my life, I would never do that”. He quickly said. denying my thoughts.“Then spill it”. “I went farther into the western region, and I came into some group of wolves. At first I thought they were rogues, but they were different, and their leader tried to recruit me into their midst, but I refused because it could be a ploy against…us”. ‘It’s the same darn group!’. Zane growled in my head.‘I know, but we can never be certain at this level’. I replied. ”I decided not to tell them which pack I was from, but at early dawn, when they were asleep I sneaked out and came back to RedMoon…I’m sorry”. “What are you sorry for?”. I was perplexed. Surely none traced him back here, if he left without their notice, right?“I heard some packs were attacked by some group, and you were also attacked. From the description I knew it was them…I should have stayed back to get more information about them”. “Being here without any casualties is the best you di
VaughanHer indirect rejection felt like a tiny prick of needle to my chest. I should have known she was here because of the darn girl, not me. I was instantly jealous that she was curious about someone else other than me. I ran through everything Daphne had explained to her, and how I felt she wasn’t trustworthy enough for our acceptance. Yet I saw the way her eyes lit up as she listened to me.I could sense that she was intrigued, and wanted to know more about her, but it would be on my terms. I knew she was interested in her due to the fact she had indicated she was her relative, and nothing more.She wasn’t to be trusted yet. I need to know what she was up to, and staying away from her was the best option for all of us.“Then why can’t I have a conversation with her?”. She whined, as she wriggled on me. Little did she realize that her movement awakened my cock, that was right under her. What was she up to?My mind went to the day I had enticed her in the bathroom. Was she tryin
Vaughan’s PovI gawked at the lady who seemed like a few years older than Raven. Apart from her gray eyes and petite figure, there wasn’t any other similar resemblance between her and Raven. Her hair was black, and oddly enough her scent was that of a wolf. I doubt she was Raven’s sibling. Hell! She didn’t even seem like she was one.“Why are you here?”. She had not said a single word ever since the guard brought her here. “I’m…I’m here for Raven. She is my relative”. She stuttered, as she fidgeted around. She seemed like a nervous wreck, but I knew it could be faked, especially when she knew I could perceive it.“You can’t show up in my pack, and demand to see my mate”. I snapped at her, feeling irritated. “She will need my presence here”. She was behaving like she didn’t want to be here of her own accord, but for Raven’s sake. “What gives you the impression that I will allow that? Do you know whose territory you are in?”. Her words were bold, for someone who looked like a timid
Raven PovFor the past hour I had been working on the soil, with Fia. After witnessing what Alpha Vaughan had done, my legs had brought me to her house. She had been tending to the soil for planting, and I had decided to help her. She hadn’t asked me what had transpired about Alpha Vaughan, but I knew she was aware. Being busy helped ease my mind a bit.There had been no remorse in his eyes, when he looked at me. How could he be so heartless? I cringed once more as I remembered the bloody scenery. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I jolted up, startled. It was then I realized I had mistakenly pulled out a plant that had not bloomed. I sighed frustratedly and stood up, and washed my hands, before I smoothened my hair which was fawning over my face. “I’m sorry, a lot is on my mind”. I said, but she smiled, and gestured as I sat down on the seat she had brought out for me. I took a sip of the juice she offered me. Her hands were resting on her round belly. She looked beautiful for som
Vaughan’s Pov“Do you regret what you did to him?”. Gale asked, as I watched my mate walk off. The urge to be with her was overwhelming, but I didn’t move.“I would do that over and over again. I don't fucking regret it”. Pissed, he asked me such a stupid question. She was clearly shocked and disgusted by what she had seen, but hell I would surely do that again. The bastard had tried to assault her. I stared at the man on the ground and stomped harder on his shoulder. He grunted in pain, but it was just plain sound to my ears. He was the friend of the guy who had assaulted Raven. He had been there when his friend misbehaved with my mate. He did nothing but enjoyed the whole show. I had gotten my men to look into them, when I heard about it. I had tried to put a leash on my temper after Raven returned, but I never planned on letting them go unscathed after everything they did. “Lock him up”. I ordered as I started moving back to my office, while Gale trailed behind me not uttering
