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.
Raven Pov“Forget his words, nothing will happen to you”. Daphne said, but my mind was somewhere else. Alpha Dorian had mentioned something else which was bugging my mind. He said he had seen my wolf. I had no wolf for as long as I could remember. It was something I had accepted never to happen. He wouldn’t just say something like that, and Alpha Vaughan’s stance was one that wasn’t surprised by the revelation.“You have…”. “You heard what he said about my wolf right?”. I asked Daphne, cutting off whatever she wanted to say. “Yeah…he did, what about it?”. Her eyes were confused for a few seconds, before she replied to me.“I…do not have a wolf”. I whispered, thinking hard about it. Had I ever shifted without my knowledge.“Are you sure?”.“I never had, nor ever changed into a wolf, not one I ever recalled”. “It may be there, but it never showed up”. Daphne said, but it was difficult processing it. I wished I could understand everything that was happening. Alpha Vaughan walked int
Raven Pov“You shouldn’t feel sorry for her, when she caused it herself”. Fia said plopping on the couch in her baby’s nursery.“Not that I was feeling sorry about what I did, I just didn’t want her dead”. I munched on the snack she had given to me. It was too spicy and I wondered how she did it, but I guess It was the pregnancy. “She won’t die easily. She still has more shitty life ahead of her”. She said, pulling the shopping bags close to me. I wish I felt the same way about Della, after everything that had happened In the past between us, but I wanted her to be able to live her life without hatred or jealousy for others. She had rejected Riev and she was even yet to get a second chance mate, so she still actually had a lot ahead of her. “All these are beautiful”. I gushed as I rummaged through all the baby outfits. There were both mixtures of boy and girl outfits since she had no idea about the baby’s gender. Since the attack everyone had been vigilant, and she couldn’t go
Raven PovHow I made it to my room was something I hadn't realized, until I entered the room. It had gotten worse than when I was in Fia’s house. Sweat was already dripping from my forehead, and I dashed into the bathroom, ripping my clothes off my body as I got into the shower, with my undies on me, as I felt impatient.The cold water poured down on me, but it was useless, as my body was still on fire even though I was drenched with water.The door to the bathroom was yanked open, and Alpha Vaughan came in, his eyes swept up to my whole body. I tried to cover myself, but it was a futile attempt as the discomfort I felt clouded my mind.“What are you doing here?”. I asked in between the waves of warmth that wracked my body.“That won’t help. You will need me”. He said, and he sauntered closer to me. “Stay away from me, I don’t need you”. I gritted, my arms stretched out in front of me. I wish all this could stop.“I can end all of this, if you allow me to”. Why was he so into my pr
Vaughan PovHer eyes when she had asked me not to leave her was everything I needed to forge ahead. The sweet smell of her arousal was pungent in the air, and it drove me insane. Her fingernails dug into my shoulders as I grazed her nipples once again, feeling my own need for her growing with each second. Everything I was doing was solely for her pleasure, but it affected me the same.Her body was covered in perspiration, with her hair that was sprawled out in the sheets. I kissed along the middle of her breast to her stomach. She squirmed uncontrollably as my lips got to the top of her waistline. Her hands went to hair tugging hard, as she pressed my head against her, as if it contact wasn’t enough for her. The raw hunger in her eyes was something that reflected mine. I kissed her roughly, raising her upper body slightly so she could straddle me. She teared her lips away as her lips went to my neck, as her hands roamed around my back. My cock pulsed underneath me, and I gripped
Vaughan PovI got up from the bed, unwilling to leave her side. If not for Hank, who had linked me regarding Gale and Kyle’s journey to the western region, I wouldn’t have budged from here. Outside it was already pitch black. The day was gone already.‘You have already had enough of her I guess?’. Zane teased me, as I kissed her forehead while she slept soundly. ‘Shut the fuck up!’. ‘Why are you still so worked up, you spent the whole day with her?’. Zane was being a prick, but I would not give him the satisfaction he so much wanted. ‘It’s none of your business!’. I snapped. ‘Ouch, someone still wants more time with…’.‘Yes, I want to spend more time with her! Is it an offence?!’. He was already getting on my nerves. ‘That wasn't what I meant, you know what I mean’. He said, but I ignored him. He could continue talking for all I care. He was being nosy and didn’t know, when to stay clear of my own damn business. Sometimes I hate the fact we were intricately one, he felt everythi
Raven Pov“Oh please, I’m not interested in any of this”. Daphne stood up, blocking her ears, dramatically.“I’m not saying anything”. I reassured her.“Come on Raven! I’m interested, tell me, I know Alpha Vaughan is a force to be reckoned with”. Fia smiled, winking mischievously at me, and I felt my ears burn in embarrassment. She looked so innocent to be this shameless. “No I don't to”. I whined, covering my face. Telling her about me and Alpha Vaughan’s sex escapades wasn’t something I planned on doing, not when I still blush every time I remembered how I had behaved. I had been like a wanton whore.“Look at her, acting all…ouch!”. She winced in pain. “Are you okay?”. I asked, seeing the way she pulled a face. “I’m okay, I was just carried away”. She smiled. “I told you to stay put!”. Jade chided her. We were in the hospital, and Jade was checking on her baby, making sure everything was okay. Her hands touched her big bump gently.“I’m sorry”. She said, pouting her lips. It was
Raven Pov“Why the hell are you out here?!”. Alpha Vaughan yelled at me. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Of all the people I expected to be here it wasn’t him. “How…did…?”. I stuttered, my eyes taking in the outfit he had on. His hair was tied at the nape of his head, which made him look hotter than ever.“Stop that!”. He snapped. He had heard my thoughts. “Why are you here?”. I asked, recollecting myself.“I asked you first!”. He said in between gritted teeth, and he pulled me into a corner, while scanning around.“The children…Jade wanted me to be sure they are safe”. He closed his eyes, as he ran his hair in frustration. “They are safe, and under surveillance. You shouldn’t be here”. He began to pull me to the direction of the hospital,“Gale, Gale is in…”. “I know…he was in an accident, but he is okay now, and on his way here”. I felt my heart calm at his words.“Come here!”. He snapped, pulling me back to the hospital. I noticed he was tense, and I knew it was because I was out i
Raven pov“WHAT?!”. Vaughan yelled and moved from his closet, which he had been rummaging for some minutes.“No, I can't allow that?”. He shook his head, and continued with what he was doing, dismissing what I just said.“Why?”. Not understanding his refusal, on allowing Mason to stay in the house.“I don't just want to, he is fine where he is. Why are you so keen about this?”. A frown appeared at his forehead, as he threw a shirt on.“He's just a child, and I'm not just saying this, because of him, but his sister, who misses his company. We will give him a separate room, for our privacy, if that's what you are bothered about”. I persuaded him.“They literally see each other everyday. How is that possible?”.“I wish it was only about that, but he had been oddly quiet these days, and more withdrawn into his shell, something is wrong about him”. He sighed deeply, and sat down on the bed. “I feel he needs some comfort, and someone who…”.“You pamper him beyond understanding, and differen
Riev pov“How is she doing?”. I asked Vaughan as soon as he came out of the room.“Handling it better than I could imagine, but she is already asleep”. He answered, as he glanced back at the opened door. “Still going with your plan, or you are not sure yet?”. His voice low, so as not to disturb Raven. “I have to go now”. I muttered, my heart feeling a bit heavy. I got new information that the situation was dire. “But I will be back earlier than intended”. I said. “You can stay back if you are that worried-”. “I know she is in safe hands, and she already has her wolf”. I interrupted him, my eyes on him. It would be better to handle the situation faster, and be back than shifting it. “Suit yourself“. He muttered dryly, and I pushed him aside, entering the room. Raven was sleeping calmly, I stared at her for a while, knowing the night had been hard for her. I wrote down a message for her on a notepad, before exiting the room. I wasn’t surprised to see him at the door.“You better mak
Raven pov‘Weak wolf?’. The voice scoffed in anger. ‘Now who the hell is the weak one, you piece of garbage’. It continued, and I kicked a part of his limb which was close to my foreleg. Picking up the scents of people nearby, I hid behind the pillar, just as the guards came back, scanning the surroundings, and looking for who had caused the mess. Everything felt like I was doing too much. ‘After so long of being away, I never thought I would have to hide for my first kill'.The voice continued talking, while I had to bear with the noise, unable to do anything. It took a while, until I perceived a strong scent, followed by a series of frantic voices in my head. ‘Where the hell was she?!’.Immediately I saw Vaughan followed by Riev, both of them, and knew it was his thought. They both swept their eyes around, barking out orders at the guards around. I thought they both went for the pack run. ‘Well, here comes our overbearing mate, going over the top, like always as if we are freakin
Raven pov “Why are you acting so uptight?”. I asked Vaughan for the umpteenth time tonight, as he enveloped me in his arms.“You have gone for the packrun these past months, and nothing went wrong. I will be fine on my own”. I assured him, but he hugged me tighter. “I can't just help it but feel edgy. Zane needs to be out, but at the same time I feel strange about tonight’s run”. He said, his warm breath against my neck, before he pressed his lips to my mark, which made my toes curl.“Maybe I should stay back tonight…”. He said, and pulled his body away from me, his lips curling up in mirth. “No, you can't put off things you should do, because of me”. I moved a few steps back from him.“Nothing is more important to me than you”. “You have been this way ever since the past few days”. I muttered, and observed him, but he avoided my eyes. “You are hiding something from me”. I said, eyeing him intently. This was one of the times I hated being the only one who couldn't read his thought
Riev povFew days later…“So the rumors are true, you are finally leaving?”. Jade asked, sourly, her expression sad, as she peered at my belongings in the room. “You make it sound as if I’m going and never coming back. I have a sister here, remember?”. I peered at her, but she curled the ends of hair with her index finger, her eyes everywhere but mine.“That is why you have to take care of yourself”. She said, staring at me.“Come on, I'm not a child, surviving after escaping Dark Valley should give you a hint on what I'm capable of”. “It's about your sister, she would be worried about you. You don't know how much she was distressed, when she thought you were dead”. I had also been worried about leaving her here, but she would be fine. “Alpha Vaughan made it worse, when he tried to hunt you down, thinking you were her lover”. I chortled in disbelief, Vaughan was indeed crazy to have such absurd thoughts about us.“Sounds like he was nuts”. I muttered. He wouldn't be able to even i
Vaughan Pov I walked into the quarters where Hank had lived for years, ever since my late father had brought him into the pack. The virtue my father had seen in him and assigned him as my omega before he died was something I couldn't understand for a long time, until he started working with me.I realized his unwavering dedication to working for me and the welfare of the pack. If anyone deserved the position it was him, and it would be a shame to let him fade before my eyes.I was surprised to discover the door to his house was ajar, but the smell that hit me, as I entered his room, startled the crap out of me. “Hell man, what the fuck?!”. I yelled, covering my nose, before I combust from the foul stench. Everywhere was dark and stuffy, and without any change of air. How the hell did he cope being here all day for weeks. I made my way to the window, and pulled the curtains to one side, opening the window for ventilation.He was sprawled on his big bed, empty of alcohol bottles litte
Vaughan pov“Trust me, it’s only nice when the child isn’t yours”. Duncan whispered in my ears, as I continued to stare at Raven. I wondered how he knew what I was thinking. Darn mind reader!“Having your mate focus on the child isn’t something you would like at first, but you will surely get used to it”. He shrugged his shoulders.“Don’t tell me you get jealous of your own child?”. I asked, in disbelief. “Not really jealous, but you will surely get what I mean if you have your own child, especially when it’s a boy. Currently more than satisfied with my girls”. He said, smiling.I stared at Raven, and noticed Mason who stuck his small frame beside her. Immediately I felt envious of him, it wasn’t quite serious, but It made me feel uncomfortable. “You already have one to contend with, so good luck with that”. “Look at the way she clung to you, I’m so jealous”. Fia said. Everyone seemed smitten by the child, while I was the only one who couldn’t muster up the courage to touch her. “
Vaughan pov“What are you doing here?”. I asked Duncan, as I entered my office, seeing him sitting on my chair as if he owned it. “Never seen an Alpha being late to his duties”. He said, swilleving himself around on the chair. “Might be one of the perks of being a newly mated Alpha”. He clicks his tongue, while shaking his head in feigned concern. “I should say the same about you, who left your packs several miles away to be here”. Being less busy wasn’t something I knew he was at the moment, which makes me wonder why he was here. “Say hello to my mate first”. He smiled and gestured with his head behind me. I turned around and saw his mate, along with their baby’s who looked bigger than the last time I had seen her. She looked so much like her father.“I thought having her with me to meet your mate would be nice, since we haven’t met her before, don’t you think?”. He winked at me, while I stood there dumbfounded. “Hi, Freya, nice to have you here”. I said to her, and the baby in h
Raven pov“Where are you heading to? We have to discuss this”. I said as I trailed behind him.“That is what I’m about to do”. He answered gruffly, not sparing me a glance, as he descended the stairs two at a go. “Call every damn worker that works here”. He said to a guard when he finally reached the ground floor. “While at it inform others that no one is allowed to leave the pack house”. He ordered.“You can’t just blame them for it, maybe we haven’t searched for it properly”. I muttered, trying to calm him, but it did nothing, as I noticed his eyes were the color of his wolf. “I’m glad you said you had seen it there too. For it to be missing now, then someone was responsible for it”. He seethed. His claws were already out. He was like a ticking time bomb at the moment. “Just promise me, you will be rational about this”. Having him shed innocent blood wasn't what I wanted right now. I grasp his right hand in mine, he tried to move away, but I held on tight. “I can’t promise you
