I didn’t utter a word as we stared at each other, eyes locked on one another . My eyes peered towards the door, hoping Jade would come in anytime soon to save me from him. I know I was cold to her, but I would prefer her company to him.“She won’t come here”. He said, as if reading my mind. He stood and began to walk slowly to where I stood rooted to the floor. “I…need some clothes”. I stammered, moving backwards to evade his closeness. “You can wear mine, at least you have worn one before”. He gestured towards the huge wardrobe that was opposite the bathroom.He had his hair packed above his nape, and it made him look more like a bad Alpha that he is. I knew his hair would be softer than how it looked. Was that the natural color? “Hmmm?”. I was jolted from my thoughts. What is wrong with me?! He raised his eyebrows at me, still expecting a response from me, but I kept my mouth closed. His eyes lingered on my neck for a few seconds, and I noticed an emotion crossed his eyes for a s
Vaughan“It better be something important, for I left my mate to be here”. I warned Gale as soon as I entered the office, but halted my steps as I saw the person in the middle of the room.He looked so haggard and unkempt that I hardly recognized him. His clothes were torn as if he had been in a serious battle.“What the hell happened? Why are you here?”. I stared at Skye. He was one of the spies I had sent out to get more information about the dead wolf in the woods. He wasn’t supposed to be here, at least not so early. “We…we were… I don’t know what happened… Kyle…he…”. At the mention of his cousin’s name, I realized he wasn’t in the room with him.“Where is he?”. I asked instantly, and peered at Gale, who was unusually quiet, with a sober expression on his face. “Can someone tell me what the hell happened?!”. I bellowed, frustrated at being kept in the dark. I looked between my beta and Skye. Something was awry.“He…I can’t find him anywhere…we…”. Skye began,“What do you mean? Y
“It's been a while”. Della said and gave me a toothy smile. We saw each other a few days back. What does she want? “What are you doing here?”. I tried to keep the irritation out of my voice, but it was hard. ‘How could you let her in!’. I linked Hank. ‘I tried! I didn’t want to hurt her!’. He explained. “We didn’t say a proper goodbye the last time”. She sulked, and folded her arms, pushing her breasts upwards. She wanted to impress me, but it was of no use. I didn't find her attractive enough. “To start with, I don't think we have any relationship between us, and don’t tell me you came all the way from DarkValley for your little excuse”. She was definitely going nuts. “It doesn’t matter. I’m here already, but your Omega had to make me wait”. She turned and shot Hank a glare. “You shouldn’t be out here alone, Is your brother aware of this?”. “Come on, I'm not a little girl. What harm can little sightseeing do?”. “My pack isn’t for sightseeing, you should head bac
I heard her screams, before I could push the door open. I turned on the lights, and I sighed in relief, when I saw her huddled form in the middle of the bed, the blanket covering her body. The atmosphere in the room was odd.Removing the blanket over her body, I realized she was drenched in cold sweat, and was shaking uncontrollably. I pulled her to my chest as she struggled against me. She was having a nightmare.“It’s okay, I’m here”. I said softly to her, in order for her to know someone was around her. I held her close to me, feeling her racing heart against mine. I rubbed her back offering her my comfort, but it felt useless. She shivered, her head on my chest, then I heard a muffled sound. She was saying something. I held her face away from me. “Rie…Riev…don’t leave me”. My hands turned into fist.She kept chanting the words over and over again, and I lost count of how many times she said it. I was angry that she called for her lover, but I was glad at the fact that I was the
RavenThe minute I realized the warmth beside me was gone, I stirred awake. The sheet was more rumpled and messier, and without thinking anything else I knew who had slept on the bed with me.I hardly had nightmares, but what was more strange was the fact that I felt more relaxed and refreshed than before. My eyes landed on the new shirt on me, and I held my breath for a while. I raised the blanket above me, and I sighed in relief that I wasn’t naked, but I was on another pair of pants. It seemed his special forte was to undress me whenever I was out. My face flushed red, as thought of him seeing me naked came to my mind. I was supposed to be mad at him, but I wasn’t, and it made me feel angry at myself. My eyes went to the bathroom door. He wasn’t there, and it seemed like he had left for quite some time. A knock on the door, and my heart leapt out in panic. I felt my heart sink as the person walked into the room. “Hope I didn’t wake you up”. Jade said, her eyes guilty, as she po
He wouldn’t have killed him, right? He would not kill him, he did nothing wrong for him to want him dead. Riev did nothing to him, he was…“Raven! Are you okay?”. Jade rushed to my side, disrupting my hazy thoughts. I stared at her, lost for a few seconds unable to comprehend her question. “What happened to her?”. My eyes focused on the other person. His face was familiar. I had seen him before. “Come on get up. I will examine you immediately”. She helped me up. “No no…I’m…I’m fine”. I pushed my hair out of my face, as I felt cold sweat on my body. “You don’t look that good to me are you sure?”. She was still worried. “I just lost my balance, I’m good”. I forced out a smile, as she peered anxiously at me. They must not know that I heard their conversation. “Come in, let’s have some tea…ohhh…you haven’t seen him, have you?”. She gestured towards the guy beside her. I shook my head as my eyes met his.“I’m Hank, omega to your mate”. There it was. He had visited DarkValley with A
VaughanThe fading sounds of her footsteps were enough to make me realize she had left the office. Immediately I unclenched my tight fist, and pushed all the contents that were on the table to the floor. It scattered noisily across the floor, but it wasn’t enough for my chaotic head. Everything I did seemed not to work for some vague reason. I wished the bastard was found so I could have dangled his head in her face. I had thought things were going in the right direction, after last night, but it was nothing!What a vain attempt at an impossible feat! It was the fucking matebond. I wished Zane hadn’t marked her that fateful day. It had been a nightmare ever since then, to control myself whenever I was around her, but she seemed unfazed by whatever that was happening between us.My eyes settled on the date on the small calendar, and laughter erupted from my throat, as it echoed through the room. She reminded me of the shitty family I was brought into. She was awfully right. We can
Raven’s Pov Two days and I haven’t seen him or felt his presence even when I’m asleep. I knew he was purposely avoiding me. I felt free to do some things, but at the same time I felt bereft. I spent most of my day with Jade, who was more than happy to see me finally adapting to living in RedMoon, but a part of me wished that he was at least coming to the room. Visiting his office was out of the question. I just finished having my breakfast even though it was already past twelve, and I headed to the training field where I was to meet with Jade today. The field seemed more crowded and busy unlike the previous days of training. Scanning the faces of everyone I was on the lookout for someone with shoulder length hair. I had never seen him here before, and I wondered if he trained daily like the way his men did. I sighted Jade at the far end of the field talking to someone, but she stopped and began to walk up to me, when she saw me. “Come sit here”. She gestured to an empty bench
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
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
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’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’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
