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 povFia, who had been on the couch before I left, was now sprawled in the pool of her own blood. My feet were stuck to the ground, unable to move.At the far corners of the room I noticed Daphne, who also laid on the cold floor. I tried so hard not to faint at the sight. When I saw Fia's huge baby bump, my legs rushed to her side. Her face didn’t look like the one I had seen a while ago. The blood was coming from underneath her head. “Fia…”. I whispered. Everything felt like an illusion to me. I touched her wrist, feeling for her pulse, that was when I saw where the blood came from that pulled in between her thighs. Then I saw her move her hands to her bump. “It’s…it’s me, Raven”. I said in a rush, placing my hands on hers, but she gripped my hands tightly.“My baby…ahhh…”. She whimpered in agony, her hands gripping my hands in a way that I felt she would crush it, but I didn’t complain. The pain I felt was nothing compared to what she was going through at the moment.“Your…
Vaughan Pov“Talk to me”. I whispered to Raven. Her eyes were closed, but I knew she was awake. It had been her favorite thing to do, these past couple of days. She hurdled her body on the bed, covering herself tightly with the sheets. She had been in a dark phase for sometime now, and I had let her, because I knew she was also grieving for Fia who had lost her baby, but I had had enough. “It’s been almost three days, you have to at least take something”. I said pulling her up. She was going to put her health in jeopardy if she continued this way. She sat up on the bed, and I saw how gaunt she looked just in a few days. “It wasn’t your fault, you tried your best”. She still blamed herself for Fia’s loss no matter how I tried to convince her. She didn’t realize that she had also saved her. “I didn’t, the baby was dead even before she was born, I should have sensed it beforehand”. She said, her voice hoarse.“You aren’t a doctor, neither do you have any experience on childbirth, so
Vaughan Pov“Open the damn door”. He barked at the guard. He got to one of the cells, and then I saw a young man huddled at the corner. He wouldn’t be more than twenty years old. He went in and without hesitation he began punching him. I watched him beat the hell out of him, without uttering a single word. I knew Gale. He never behaved or acted rashly. Everything he did was for a reason. I had no idea who the young man was, but I knew he would be related to the group of wolves.“Now you will tell me, whatever I ask you”. Gale said to his face. Pulling him up, kicking him hard in the gut, and he fell to the floor. I hadn’t seen this side of Gale ever since we worked together. Gale was a very skilled fighter, but it was different at the moment. When the guy didn’t say a word in answering him. Gale scanned round the room, and took a heavy metal chain that laid around. “What are you doing?”. I rushed to his side, halting him from his actions. I knew he would have choked him with the me
Raven PovI could sense the exact same kind of reaction he had portrayed, when I had asked about his family. He moved away from me, turning his back to me. I knew he was indecisive if he should open up to me or not.“You said you trust me”. I whispered, hugging him. I could feel his resolve dissolving around him.“The one whom I trusted, deserted me at the time when I needed her the most. She…”. He heaved a heavy sigh, and I hugged him tighter, giving him my comfort. He had been through a lot, and he needed to heal those wounds from within.“She ruined our once good happy family…she ruined it all. I had just lost my sister, but I couldn’t mourn her properly, because I was too broken at her abandoning us…but I grieved her absence”. He chuckled darkly, and I knew that was his own way of covering up how he felt.“I had tried looking for her, hoping all night for her to come back, but it was a vain hope. My father, a once reputable Alpha, became a lost cause”. I stroked his torso gently,
Raven PovI hummed faintly in my throat as I walked to the quarters where Daphne stayed. She had been too down these past days, after Alpha Vaughan’s outburst, blaming her for Fia’s condition. I couldn’t help but feel that she was going through all this because of me.She came here because of me, and she had been trying so hard helping me with practicing my gifts, but it was hard, when someone didn’t have the same thought as me.She had hinted on going back to where she came from, but I had dissuaded her. She had no one and I wished she could find her mate in RedMoon, so all thought about leaving would vanish from her mind. On getting to her room, I noticed the door was ajar. I had checked the training field before coming here, but she wasn’t there. I moved close to the door, hearing some faint sounds from the room.Opening the door I gasped in shock. Daphne was on tiptoes as she clung helplessly to Hank as they kissed, unaware of my presence. “I’m…I’m sorry for coming here”. I stut
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
