She was dying. She couldn't die. I held her limp body in my arms. She had said she loved me! My little kitten.
She had fought so hard. I couldn't protect her. My wolf was howling in my head. I did the only option I had left. I couldn't lose here. There was no other choice for me.
We were almost back to the pack Randy was driving crazy to get us to the back doctor as quick as possible. I was losing time though.
I had to make the choice now or it would be too late. I just hoped and prayed that she would accept the decision I make.
My head rolled to the side as my fangs slide out. Not thinking twice, I bite into the side of her throat that wasn't ripp

Darkness has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It has always been there, lurking in the shadows, watching me. Ever since the war broke out between the creatures and humans, darkness has been a persistent companion, protector, and guide. But this night was different. As I made my way through the darkness, I felt something else. Something that has never been there before. Something that has my heart beating a little faster and my skin crawling with unease. The darkness seems to be reaching out towards me. Almost as if it were trying to take me. Memories of the first time I felt the darkness clouded my vision and burned the back of my eyes. "Raven let’s go!” It was beautiful out with the moon illuminating everything. I watched Mike take a seat on top of the picnic table with his buddies Jessie and Brian. I gaze around taking in the park. We were surrounded by the eerie quiet of the deserted forest. During the day the park is full of hikers and kayakers. On

Sometimes the darkness that is suffocating you, that wants your soul, is the only thing left that can save you. Do you own the bravery to allow it to take you? Ten Years Later “Raven, Julia, and Matt just returned. Julia is saying Matt isn’t acting right.” I followed Henry to the garage. I had sent the couple out this morning to scavenge for any supplies we could use for the compound. I wasn’t ready for what met me when we entered the large garage. In the middle of the garage was a hysterical Julia and in front of her was five of my men holding a screaming Matt. He looked crazed. His eyes were bloodshot, his hands were curled into fists, and he was gritting his teeth in anger. At Julia’s feet laid another of my men holding a bleeding forearm. “What the hell is going on!” I demanded. My face was void of all emotions while on the inside I was scared. For the first time in years the feeling of cold-empty darkness was wrapping around me. “He just started convulsing after opening a b

Dustin and I exited the truck. I was furious. My gun aimed at Mr. Swagger’s head. “Freddy, I need an explanation like now.” I demanded my eyes never leave the smug looking wolf. “Do you know who I am?” he asked us he jumped out of the back of the truck. I felt him getting closer and closer. I wasn’t about to let my guard down this time. “Why would I care who you are? You will be dead shortly. Just make one wrong move,” I dared him my voice getting eerily calm. “Oh, Darlin’ I can’t let you kill me you would miss me too much. Your pain is my pain, and I would never want to see you hurting.” He taunted me. “Yeah, not in this lifetime buddy.” “Darlin’ you will be begging for my touch before the week is out.” It was probably the blood loss but every time he spoke my heart would do a little flip. “You won’t live that long.” I stepped closer to him cocking the barrel back. I was getting ready to squeeze the trigger when Freddy stepped between us putting his hand on the barrel of my gun.

Marcus’ POV Two days now I have been planning our next move. Finding my mate was never part of those plans. Almost losing her on the same night was not in the plan. For my kind, finding a mate was special. Ever since the beginning of the uprising, finding a mate was rare. So much death and destruction has left the world in a state of depression. Happiness doesn’t exist anymore for most of us. Watching Randy and my other pack members working alongside the humans in this compound sent a wave of pride through me. My wolf was excited to see our mate’s reaction to our efforts. Visiting her in the hospital room was hard but keeping my wolf away from her was harder. She has been unconscious for most of it. I wasn’t sure how she would react when she had her senses back. I was dreading her dismissing us. My wolf probably wasn’t going to take it very good. “Alpha, we got word back from our scouting team that a group of demons have been boarding up not far from here. So far that hasn’t been m

"You can leave too!" Marcus was still standing next to me in my bedroom after Dustin had stormed out. “Are you sure you want to be alone?” I hated that he was worried. We already established that I was fine, but then again, he wasn’t referring to my health. I didn’t know how to answer him. When he was close, I wanted him to stay. When he wasn’t I wanted him near me. The more time I spent with him, the more I changed my mind about this whole situation. The more I questioned my own feelings. “I guess that’s my answer.” He smiled at me. A sad smile that tugged my heartstrings. I wanted to get it back. “I will be back later. You will see.” It was as if he could read my mind. “I know you don’t trust me, but you will.” He winked at me before closing my door. Finally, alone my mind wouldn't stop racing. How does my life go from normal to chaotic this quickly? I don't know how long I sat there in my bed. I was still in my nightgown and the sun was shining in through my windows. Just when

Tina looked at me with concern etched on her face. “Of course, Raven. You know you can always trust me. What’s going on?” “How well do you know Dustin and Freddy?” “Well Freddy and I grew up with Dustin.” “Wait you mean Dustin and Freddy aren’t brothers?” “Well not biologically. I thought you knew.” “What no.” How did I not know that. I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before I spoke. “I found out Dustin is a demon, and his father, Alister, is trying to take over the world by killing off the human race.” Tina’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. “Are you serious?” I nodded, my heart racing with fear. “Yes, I am. I saw Dustin’s eyes start glowing red. He’s been hiding this from us for years.” Tina’s expression turned serious as she processed the information. “We need to tell Marcus. He can help us.” I shook my head, feeling hesitant. “I don’t know if we can trust Marcus.” Tina’s brow furrowed in thought. “Isn’t Marcus mated to you?” “Where did you hear that?” I a

Storming out of the room and I stomped my way down the hall to my own quarters slamming the door to my room shut behind me. I am still trembling with rage. I lock my door before throwing myself down onto my bed. Tears well up making my eyes feel puffy and tender as the day’s events play over in my mind. The tension in the air is almost palpable, and it is making my skin crawl. After a few minutes, I began to feel calmer. Eventually I find myself breathing normally again. As the adrenaline fades from my body, my mind wanders onto other topics. More specifically towards the thoughts of Marcus and Dustin. My skin tingles but I push the feeling away and let myself drift off to sleep. I am naked and alone. I have never been one that has ever felt comfortable enough to sleep in the nude. Sitting up in bed examining my surroundings, I realize this isn’t my room. The room is dark, but the glow from the moon outside emits enough of a glow to illuminate the large king size bed and various pie

When I came to my head was splitting in two. My hand instantly went to the back of my head. When I felt something warm and wet, I knew I was bleeding."Fuck," looking around everything came back to me. Dustin was a demon and his father wanted me dead.I heard a familiar growl and my head snapped up so quick I could swear I got whip lash. "Marcus!" He was alive. How? I stood up the best I could determined to get to him."Raven," turning to look behind me I saw Randy, running toward me. He was covered in blood, but it didn't look like it was his. I looked back at Marcus.He had shifted. His wolf form was something I had never seen before. "He is a Lycan." I was talking mostly to myself, but Randy heard me.

Marcus' POVWe were just outside the location Raven was tracked too. The building had obviously seen better days. Parts of it were crumbling down. Rubble was scattered all around the perimeter."At least in the state of this building breaking our way in shouldn't be much of a task. I will set up the C4 at the main doors. Give me ten minutes."I nodded and sent the others to survey the surroundings. They didn't get far before we demons began stepping out of the shadows."Um Randy, I'm going to need you to make that five minutes.""Fuck," he ran to the door at the same time the shadows began a rushing us. I felt my body contort and my bones begin to reshape. The

Oh my God, it was hot today, hotter than usual. Mike was going around the camp, laughing and joking. Trying to lighten all our moods.He even started flirting with Marina. I was surprised because I thought I'd never grow up enough to do it. I'd watched them tiptoe around each other for the past three months."Hey Raven chief fast if we could go out and catch a deer for the banquet?" I smiled up at Dustin. He was always trying to find ways to get some alone time with me ever since I had met him a few months ago.I didn't mind he was growing on me. Honestly at first, he was overbearing. He changed though. I always felt like there was a darkness surrounding him. Spending more time with him I have seen him lighten up."

Marcus POV.My body was on fire. I felt like death. Images of Raven laying across my chest flashed across my mind. Realizing I still hadn't opened my eyes I attempted it.The room was dark, which I was thankful for, "Raven?""Hey, hey, lay back down." I hadn't even made it off the bed before Randy was next to me pushing me back down.Blinking a few time my sight was clear enough to see all the people sitting in my room looking like they were attending a funeral. I wasn't dead, but I didn't see, "Where is Raven?"They shared a look between each other not saying a word to me. "Answer me.""It was an awful ba

The truck comes to a stop. Looking around, we were stopped in front of an old, abandoned factory. "Where are we?" Fear started taking hold, "Where have you taken me?"The whole situation started making less and less since. When he stayed silent, I knew."Dustin, answer me.""Why couldn't you have just stayed with me?" he sounded so calm and collected. It was more frightening than if he would have been screaming at me."Why did you have to go with him? All these years I have stood by you and been there for you, I have loved you. I do love you." he was glaring at me now. His hand shot out grabbing the back of my neck."Dustin, I understand going on. What have you

"Are you ready, Raven?"Marcus's voice was nothing more than a seductive whisper. It made me breathless. "Yes."His violet eyes wandered down my body. "Are you sure you can handle it?""Yes.""All of it?"I shot him an exasperated look. "We're no longer talking about the ride, are we?"He let out a deep full laugh. It did wonderfully sinful things to my core. "No, but we do need to get going soon."Marcus gave the order in the form of a subtle nod. Instantly we were on our way. The moment I sat down behind closed doors I felt the weight of all the insanity begin to rest heavy on my shoulders. As if sensing my unease Marcus pulled me into his lap."Marcus . . ."Chills spread through my body as his tongue licked out over my exposed shoulder. Turning into hot burning kisses. Until he got to my neck and began nipping at the spot that sent hot liquid pooling between my legs. His mouth and breath warmed my skin. This man was

Dustin's POVI could not look at them anymore plus I needed an excuse to leave and call off the attack. How dare she show up at my gate with that Lycan. I wanted so much to hate her, but every time I saw her it was like she could do no wrong.I wanted her to be happy, I wanted her to have everything that she could possibly want. If what she wanted was me.I was walking through the corridors of the compound headed towards my room. I pulled out my phone. Calling my father, I knew that this conversation was not going to end very well."There's been a development.""What kind of development?" He was pissed. He wasn't much for things that didn't go his way. "I'm not
