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
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 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
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 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
Raven PovFia had explained how to use my charms to get what I wanted from Alpha Vaughan, but it seemed it didn’t work on him, because he left me here at the end. She had also hinted to me on how to get my revenge back on him, after I told her what he did to me in the bathroom. She had been more than glad to help me out.Jade had informed me about that girl’s arrival, that was why I had come to Alpha Vaughan’s office in the first place. We had the same color of eyes and the same stature, but I couldn't notice any other difference about her. She knew my grandmother, and I wondered what else she knew about me I had no idea about.I knew Alpha Vaughan would keep me away from her, not after everything that kept happening these past few days. He would never agree that easily.My eyes landed on the guy in the office with me. From the way he leaned at the wall close to the entrance, I knew he couldn’t wait to get away. I knew he was here because Alpha Vaughan asked him to. I could still re
Raven Pov “What if it doesn’t work?”. I asked Daphne who stood a few feet away from me on the training field, along with Hank. I had been training with her ever since Alpha Vaughan allowed me to spend some time with her. We have gotten quite closer and her presence was something I didn’t realize I needed before. Her presence gave me a sense of belonging, I never experienced with any of my late family. She dropped the sword in her hand, and walked to me, writing hurriedly on the notepad. She had quickly immersed herself in the act of communicating with me through writing. ‘Hank isn’t going to hurt me intentionally, he is just doing it to elicit a reaction from you, so you can act accordingly’. I stared at Hank, who also stood a few feet away from us. He had been hanging around us ever since me and Daphne hung out together. He had opted to help me with my practice, which was new. “Okay”. I nodded feeling assured as I glanced at Hank. I knew he did it because Daphne was with me. He
Raven PovI blinked multiple times, unsure if I was in the right frame of mind, or if I was dreaming, but the continuation of the little sounds around me were an indication of me getting back my hearing. When Daphne began to scribble on the notepad, my hands rushed to stop her. “I’m…I’m okay”. I replied. It took a while for her to grasp what I meant. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you sure?”. Her curious eyes on me.“Yes”. I nodded my head, smiling at her, then my eyes landed on Della, who still laid unconscious on the ground. I couldn’t believe a single push had resulted in that. I began to walk slowly to her, as Hank stared at me warily. I hope she was okay. It was as if something had left my heart. It was a calm feeling, but I was still scared to realize what I had done.I hadn’t intended on using my energy on her, but I couldn’t explain how It had happened. I knew I felt relieved after pushing her. I wondered what could have happened if I had used my energy intentionally.
Vaughan pov“Wolf?”. I asked, confirming if I heard right. How could a wolf be responsible for causing chaos in my pack all this while?.“She is a wolf, take a look at her claws, exactly like that of ours”. Riev said, pointing at her claws, which peeked out no matter how she tried to hide it, under her shirt. “This is crazy”. I muttered, unable to believe my eyes. She was a fucking damn wolf! “Then how had she been able to kill them just like that without any injury”. For all I knew as Wolves we can’t be able to kill our enemies without using our animal form. “Spells and maybe poison, which kills in minutes”. Riev said, but I doubt poison had killed them that fast. “The male witch must have given her some spells to make use of, and trained her to kill easily, even though she is not a witch”. Never in my entire existence had I heard about wolves being trained as witches to kill their kind. “What would be your gain helping them against your very own kind?”. I asked. “Money? Power?
Raven povI released a deep sigh, my shoulders slacking, as I saw Riev burst into the room. “Shit! Raven…”. Riev said, scanning the room, and in a few seconds he was accompanied by Alpha Vaughan. I rolled my eyes seeing their worried faces.“…Are you okay?”. Alpha Vaughan rasped as he got to where I stood, his eyes flashed to the huddled lady on the floor, then back to mine. “Let’s get out of here first”. He began pulling me out of the room. Riev appeared on my left as he scrutinized me, checking for any injuries on my body. “Chill, you guys!”. I yelled, backing away from them. “Can’t you guys see what happened here?”. I asked, gesturing at the mess in the room, before I pointed at the lady who was on the floor behind me. “That is why you need to leave the room for a while”. Alpha Vaughan said, holding me by my arm.“But how the fuck did she get in?”. Riev asked, his eyes on her. “She is the one who has been…?”. Alpha Vaughan didn’t have to finish his question, before I understoo
Raven pov A few days later…“Raven! Wake up!”. Alpha Vaughan’s voice frantically stirred me awake, but when I opened my eyes I noticed from outside that everywhere was still pitch dark. His warm palms went to my cheeks, but I pulled away from him, angry that he had interrupted my sleep. I wasn't even bright yet.“It's still dark, I want to sleep some more”. I said, adjusting my body comfortably on the bed, to continue sleeping, but his next words cleared all traces of sleep from my eyes. “There is another victim. Gale just linked me”. His voice was lower than usual. “Is the person dead?”. I asked immediately. “Don’t know, but the witch is here, and might attack another person”. “I need to go help”I said, my legs already on the floor. I needed to be out there to stop whoever it was.I rummaged through the closet for something decent to wear. The urge to make sure there wasn’t another victim was the only thing on my mind, and if I’m lucky enough I might catch the person.“Raven, R
Vaughan povI couldn't understand why she was directing her anger at only me, when it was Riev who had opted to hide everything from her from the very beginning.“I knew it was odd seeing the both of you getting along so quickly, and acting as allies”. She said, her gray hues hard on mine, as she got to where I sat, totally ignoring her brother as if he didnt exist. “I want to hear everything, and you shouldn’t leave anything out”. She said, “Why are you mad at only me? You heard everything right? Riev was the one who said we shouldn’t inform you”. I muttered, but her expression didn’t change a bit. “Riev is my brother, he has known me for almost all my life, it has always been his duty to try and protect me from any harm, because he thinks as he is older than me, I would always be in danger, and I understand that. It’s going to be like that for life even though I’m mated to you.But you are my mate, and no matter what happens I’m stuck with you for life also, and being mates we ar
Vaughan povHe was still as cocky as hell, but I kept my cool. I had something of more importance than arguing with him at the moment. “Have a seat”. I said. I was expecting him to at least refuse, but he surprised me, and plopped down on the chair opposite me. “I get it, you are trying hard to piss me off, but to let you know I was doing something important, before you asked for me”. He said, scratching his chin, as he narrowed his eyes at me. “Something like what? Like training with Jade?”. I asked coyly, and I noticed the surprise on his face, before it was quickly replaced by amusement. “You think I’m into her, just because I talk to her or train with her every other day?”. He scoffed.“Then what is your plan with her? When you hang around a lady for that long you tend to get attached”. I said. I knew that the possibility of him and Jade having a thing was a slim chance, but things could change and I had experienced it with Jora which made her think I loved her in the past.“
Riev pov“You look like you will need some hand”. I said to Jade, who was a few feet away from me. She had been struggling to lift up dumbbells that were meant for the males. “Butt out”. She snapped, I wondered how she thought she could lift that. Even if she could, it would hurt her shoulders. I watched her for a while as she struggled, and eventually she managed to carry it up using all her might. Her eyes flashed to mine, and I saw a triumphant smile on her face, but it didn’t last for up to five seconds, when the weight of the dumbbell pulled her forward. I caught her right on time, before she fell flat on her face. The dumbbell fell to the ground, as she panted heavily, resting on me. “Do you plan on ruining your pretty face? Because trust me it wouldn’t look good after contacting that hard ground”. I said, my arms still wrapped around her waist. She felt small compared to how I had thought she would feel in my arms, but she was toned well for a doctor. “Let go of me”. She s
Raven pov“Let go of him Riev, he didn’t mean any harm to me!”. I yelled, and before I realized it Alpha Vaughan was by my side, his face was etched in fury. I knew talking to him to stop Riev would be futile. His anger matched Riev. I tried to go to Riev, but Alpha Vaughan held me back. Riev’s hand tightened around his neck, as blood still poured from his nose. “Please…spare him…please”. She fell on her knees, as she pleaded. It seemed her pleas were just mere air, for Alpha Vaughan didn’t spare a glance. She was a blinded fool in love. I felt raw anger, aimed at her, and the person who was her so called mate. She didn’t deserve all these from him, and to top it all she still pleaded for him. “I’m…I’m with his child. If he dies, who will be the father of my unborn child? I prefer him alive than dead”. She wailed. My eyes rested on her stomach, and I saw a small bump there. It was almost unnoticeable. “Do you think your unborn child will want to have a father like him?”. I asked,
Raven pov“I never knew something like this existed here”. I said in awe, looking at the grassland filled with different livestock animals. I was surprised to discover Alpha Vaughan had a big farm where animals were reared. I saw some workers, who were tending to the animals. “Found a favorite spot for your leisure time?”. Fia teased. She knew me too well. “Don’t know, never worked on a farm before”. I gestured at the animals walking around. They were demarcated by a short fence. I was used to seeing wild animals on number of times in the woods. “Might be tedious at times, but it’s definitely be worth it”. She said, stroking the neck of a cow, which was close to the fence.Getting our sight filled with the animals, we headed back. Almost at the house, I didn’t know when my body gently brushed a lady coming from the opposite direction.She raised her bent head up and quickly apologized, then began to walk faster. Her face was familiar. It wasn’t the familiarity that struck me but
Vaughan Pov “Where are we heading to?”. Raven asked, her curious gray hues, shining up at me. “You will soon find out”. I said, and smiled lovingly at her. She seemed more lively, and bubbly than her usual self. I knew her brother’s presence was the reason. The past week had been the absolute best, even though I had been so much busy work I had spare time to spend with her. Maybe the thoughts of losing her, made me realize how much she meant to me. The council’s visit the previous day wasn't what I had expected. They exceeded my expectations. Asking me to reject Raven, as if she was replaceable. I knew Dorian was a shithole, but he had acted fast, sending them over. Since Riev wanted to exert his revenge on him, the ball was in his court. Riev would be a tool I would use to end him.“Are we heading to Minka’s place?”. She asked, realizing we were going there. “Why are we going there? Did something happened?”. She bombarded me with question, her eyes curious.“Well, remember she
