Raven povI was huddled against Alpha Vaughan’s side not wanting to be away from him even if it was for a second. I never knew I missed him that much until I had seen him in person after almost two days. “How is everyone?”. I asked, knowing the obvious answer.“What do you think? They were all worried”. I felt sad that I had made them so worried about me, but I felt so fulfilled after a very long time. Having my brother who was my only family and my mate, felt like real bliss to me. “Do you care?”. I asked, raising the pack of chips I was eating to his face, but he declined it. Riev walked in, and I noticed as Alpha Vaughan's spine straightened as if perceiving danger. Earlier I had noticed the way both of them behaved. I knew it would take a while before they warmed up to each other, but their cold attitude towards each other was overwhelming. I saw Riev eyes hardened as it looked down at Alpha Vaughan. Both behaved as if they had something against one another in the past. The at
Vaughan Pov “It’s back where it belongs”. I heard him say, as he placed the neck piece around Raven’s neck. It had a small crooked locket as its pendant. It looked like an ancient piece indeed. Who would have thought that the heirloom which I had been searching for months was something that was related to Raven.He had agreed to give it to Raven, but was wary about me. I knew he disliked me, and I also knew I was also the reason for it.I still recalled the image of the man I had seen with Raven. It was embedded in my brain and no matter how much I tried to steer it away. It felt like Raven had been in his clutches, before Riev intervened. Even though the both of us had decided on not letting Raven know about her encounter with him, I knew it wasn’t the right solution.I was ready to pay for how I had treated Raven, but he had crossed the line with him accusing me of using her. He had gone through some shitty stuff in his past which made him detest Alphas, but for him to constantly u
Riev PovIt's been more than a week since I came to RedMoon, but life here sucks in general, even though I had more time to train. Using my pent up frustration, I launched the beta in my grip to the ground, hardly. “Hey Man! Why are you so aggressive?”. He yelled, when I pinned him to the ground for the umpenth time ever since we began training together, without letting him go.For some gusty feeling, he thought he could pin me down when we fought against each other. It seemed he had overestimated himself. If it was my past self, before I was separated from Raven he might have succeeded. “Give up now, will you?”. I said, smirking at him, but he pushed me away from him, as he panted, wiping the sweat off his forehead.“Never!”. He blurted out, but I was surprised that he limped off to sit on the bench close by. He thought fighting with me would at least give him leverage against me, but he was mistaken. If his Alpha wasn’t able to do so easily, then he wouldn't. ‘When do we get to
Riev povHer brown eyes latched onto mine, and I quickly released her, putting some distance between us. I had come to know her, after training consecutively for days. She always comes here in the morning, and leaves after a while of training. “You should have watched your steps”. I said gruffly, and she whipped her head to stare at me. Her expression was incredulous. “Are you being serious right now?”. She scoffed. She smiled, and I knew that was a way to control her anger. I had pissed her off. “There was never a time when I joked around”. I said dryly. I folded my arms, accessing her calmly. “You were the one that collided with me”. She snapped. My eyes flashed to her loose blouse, which had moved to one side exposing a bit of her skin at her chest. “You should pay attention to yourself first”. I gestured at her upper body. Her eyes widened as she quickly adjusted her blouse, and I could see the faint tint of red appear on her cheeks. She was darn funny. I chuckled, seeing h
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
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
Raven’s Pov Raven’s Pov “Don’t go”. I ignored my older brother and moved to our small dresser, and began spraying a black hair dye over the part of my hair that was filled with specks of white hair, concealing the hues. “Dorian, that bastard wouldn’t hesitate to kill you if he finds you in his packhouse…”.He never addresses Alpha Dorian by his title, but that was less of my concern at the moment. We need money Alpha Dorian was celebrating the birth of his pup. It’s a good opportunity. “I will be fine, you worry too much”. Sometimes I wish he wasn’t older than me, so I could have the upper hand in my life decisions. “I hate all of this, I hate the fact that we are hybrids. I wish I wasn’t stuck here like this, I just… I fucking hate everything”. He rattled out in frustration, as he gestured towards his injured left leg that was rotting away due to lack of proper treatment. I couldn’t help It as I moved to where he laid on the bed, he always acted tough, but not today, because I
Raven’s POV “She stole flour”. Someone said For some reason my eyesight made it to the person. Della? I avoided her gaze. How could I even evade her in her own home? She was the only sister of Alpha Dorian, and the one who had rejected Riev in the past. I felt her eyes lingered on me for a while. I hate that she was happy. Riev had to bear with the emotional pain of her rejection. “A thief? Who dares to steal on such a joyous occasion?”. “I’m not a thief…I’m just here to work, my brother is injured and needs treatment”. I explained immediately, turning towards her direction, seeking her understanding, but I doubt it would make any difference. “Today is a special occasion, so I won’t kill anyone today. Guards! Hold her down”. I was roughly seized up by two men on each side, their grip rougher than the girls. “I’m innocent…please let me explain”. Then I saw the kitchen head move backwards as another set of girls came forward, and pulled my gown upwards almost to my hips. But wh

Vaughan Pov It had taken me almost a day of traveling without stopping to finally know that I was already getting closer to where Raven was. With passing seconds my blood pressure increased. And when I eventually stopped at a building which looked like it was built decades ago. I knew she was here, even before I alighted from the car. At the front of the building, I was taken aback by the person a few feets away from me. Immediately I knew it wasn’t the witches, who had kidnapped her. From the mask on his face I knew without doubt that it was the same man, who had almost kidnapped her in the hotel. I felt relieved. If it was the witches I knew they would be cunning. I sauntered towards him, not uttering a word. None of his men was in sight, but I knew they were hanging around, waiting for the right moment to come out. “Where is she?”. I asked, my voice loud enough for him to hear me.“We should at least say hello to each other first, don’t you think?”. He said instead, ignoring
Raven povMy head was in disarray, then I began to feel as if someone was speaking to me, I scanned around me, but no one was within sight. What was happening to me? My whole body felt foreign to me.My feet weren’t listening to me no matter how I tried to and it just continued to lead me to where I had no idea of. I wasn’t familiar with the surroundings and I hoped I would get lost somewhere along the way.I got to a waterfall where the water was shallow. The sounds of the water rushing were the only sounds heard. My heartbeat increased. What was I doing here? If anything happened to me here no one would hear my screams for help. ‘Do not be afraid’. I suddenly heard the words in my head. ‘I brought you here’. The voice continued, clearly oblivious to how I felt at the moment. I wish someone would show up here, and help me out.“Who…who are you?”. I asked shakily, my voice cracking. I knew whoever the person was he or she could hear me. ‘You know me’. It answered again. I looked ar
Raven pov“Ri…Riev?”. I stammered, as my heart felt like it would burst from everything I was feeling at once. My eyes went over his whole frame to verify everything wasn’t just in my head. When I saw him begin to move towards me, it felt like the longest few seconds of my life. I didn’t know why my legs couldn’t just move when I needed it the most. Tears filled my eyes immediately.Before I knew it I was engulfed in the warmest hug I had known for all my life. He smelt the same. My brother was indeed alive. I held onto him tightly in case everything turned out to be a dream.“You look…different, but still a cry baby as ever”. He said, as he pulled back, scrutinizing me. I hit his shoulder, he was still the same, always teasing me to no end. “How…how…”. I stammered, unable to force the words out. I was overwhelmed by emotions.“You thought I died? You know, I'm tougher than that”. He said, puffing his chest out, and I continued to sob. He was too proud for his own good. “I…I felt i
