Ravens POV

I woke in the morning to find Mykel standing at the end of my bed. Had he watched me sleep? The thought made me uneasy. Glancing at the clock on the bedside it was a little after 10am.

“I bought you some breakfast. I wasn’t sure what you liked so I grabbed a bit of everything” His mood swings were seriously beginning to give me whiplash. I must have been looking at him weirdly as he raised an eyebrow at me. “If you don’t want it, I’ll take it away”

“I… I do. Thank you” my eyes instantly falling to the floor. I couldn’t risk looking at him for too long, not after what happened last night.

“Ok. Well, the witch will be here in an hour so make sure you’re ready. I had Lilith find your suitcase and placed it in the wardrobe. The knife don’t bother looking for it for it’s now in my possession. What did you need it for anyway?”

“Protection. It was my mothers. It’s all I have left of her please don’t lose it” the knife was a family heirloom. It belonged to my great grandmother and

    Mykel’s POVI stood there completely dumbfounded, both Raven and shola in tears. I wasn’t good at comforting someone while they were upset, that had always been Lilith’s strong suit. Whatever Shola saw in my mate’s memories had clearly been distressing. This witch was one of the strongest women I knew and here she sat crying her eyes out. Lilith helped both the women to their feet, Shola saying her goodbye as she gathered her things and left. I went to walk toward my mates when Raven glared at me. Something in her eyes had change, it was almost as if she had come to some kind of realisation.“Don’t come near me” her tone emotionless shocking both Lilith and I.“Raven I…”“No. Don’t say anything just listen. I told you I knew nothing of what my family had planned. I hadn’t helped them in any way shape or form, and you never believed me. You forced me to go through with this and now thanks to you I have had to relive every horrific moment in my life all over again. You have forced me to

    Ravens POVThe second my heat completely hit all my morals flew out the window. I had been hell bent on rejecting Mykel believing it was the best thing for everyone, that was until he went to walk away. He was fighting to ignore his wolfs primal instincts because he didn’t want to take advantage of me in such a fragile state. That for me said it all. No matter how much he wanted to take me he wouldn’t, not without me being sound of mind. The sparks of his touch ignited something within me, it was like a thousand butterflies were having a disco in my stomach. The sex was nothing short of amazing, every hair on my body stood on its end just waiting for the next course of electricity to flow through me. I wasn’t scared for him to touch me; I didn’t remotely cower away, instead I took charge. It was like I was a new woman, someone with unbelievable confidence which was something up until now I’d never had. I wanted him deep within me. I wanted him to make me scream his name. And he did ju

    Lilith’s POVThe moment Hollie opened her mouth it was impossible to miss how uncomfortable Raven became. The way she bit her bottom lip and fidgeted with nails, they were the same things I did when I became nervous or scared. Hollie wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea for she was loud and opinionated, but she was fiercely loyal to her friends and the pack. She may be hard to get along with, but she was a good person and also Elijah’s mate.“Look regardless as to whether or not you’re now marked by Alpha Mykel, there are going to be a lot of pack members that won’t take kindly to it. You’re still that bastards daughter and that’s what everyone will see”“Hollie she’s innocent. It’s been proven so she will be fine, now back off.”“So was Elijah and yet Alpha Mykel went all out on him. His leg still hasn’t healed from the beating he was given”“I’ve told you I’m sorry about what happened. I told Elijah to stay out of it and he refused. He should have done as I asked” I may have sounded harsher

    Mykel’s POVI knew what I had done to Elijah would come back to haunt me, but I hadn’t expected it to be his mate. Though with attitude that bitch had I shouldn’t have been surprised. The rage, betrayal, and humiliation I felt at the time, far outweighed any feelings or remorse I held towards anyone. In that moment as far as I was concerned Elijah was not only an obstacle, but a threat. A threat that needed to be dealt with. Admittedly once I was finished with him and the alcohol induced fog that clouded my mind had lifted, I knew I may have crossed a line. Elijah was my best friend; he always had my back and no matter the situation he never walked away. He had been a life saver when I would need to work away and needed Lilith protected. Guilt smashed into me at the realisation that maybe Elijah was actually protecting Raven when he and Lilith hid her in the cottage, only she was being protected from me. Elijah laid on the ground unconscious, both his legs broken in several places. Cl

    Raven’s POVBy the way they bickered it was obvious they were hiding something, and I wondered if my assumption had been correct.“Mykel it’s not only you that could be affected, but the entire pack. Please just think of someone other than yourself”“Lilith I won’t say it again. Drop it” Mykel snarled at her his eyes changing to that of his wolf letting her know his decision was final only Lilith wasn’t going to back down. I watched the way she held her own against him left me envious. I could only wish to obtain but a fraction of her strength. Anyone that had spent time with them could tell they had been through a lot, if only they knew the true extent of it.“Is this something to do with you being a silver wolf?” They both instantly went quiet their eyes shooting to me, their jaws hitting the floor as I uncovered the secret they fought to protect.“How did you…” Lilith was the first to speak while Mykel remained stunned and wide eyed.“Because I know there are only a few incidences

    Alarics POV“Father put him down!” My sons voice bounced off the walls as he entered my office. “Leave us” Xander ordered the man I’d just dropped who took off running quicker than his feet could carry.“What are you doing here? Don’t you have some young girl to be stalking?” When he growled, I couldn’t help but laugh. Xander was my eldest and he reminded me of myself when I was younger. Even though I had my mate I just couldn’t keep my hands to myself. The apple really didn’t fall far from the tree.“Word is spreading that you’ve become unstable. You need to reel it in and stop with harming our pack members. You know you’ve gone too far when I’m the one that’s telling you enough” he did have a point. Xander’s temper was far worse than mine. He had slaughtered an entire pack simply because the woman he wanted was mated. When he lost it, even I became frightened, not that I would let him know that. I was just so worked up, I had only attacked that lousy pack because of a rumour Benjami

    Mykel’s POVElijah took charge of the entire situation, my mind shutting down as I stared down at Lilith. Her body was becoming clammy with the more blood she lost. Had the bullet been normal steel there would have been a chance even if only a slight one she would have begun to heal. Though as she grew weaker, I knew the bullet had to at least have contained traces of silver. Pack members everywhere scattered. Women cried and screamed as they gathered their pups before taking them down to the bunkers out of fears of an impending attack. Suddenly another shot hit the wall behind me making it clear I was their target. My wolf sensing the danger of losing not only his life, but his mates fought me for control. Our angers merging together as storm clouds gathered in the sky erasing any trace of the once bright stars, darkening the already blackened sky. Claps of thunder so loud the buildings shook before the ground vibrated under my feet leaving an open gorge in the ground. Feeling my han

    Lilith’s POVMy eyes and body were incredibly heavy, yet I felt as if I were floating. I knew I had been encased in darkness however there was light ahead of me for I could see the brightness of it through my eyelids. Suddenly my lungs struggled to take in any air as I felt myself sink, that brightness disappearing as I became completely plunged into darkness. I figured something had happened when my eyes shot open. Scanning my surroundings panic should have been the emotion I felt only it wasn’t. Calm. I felt completely and utterly calm, like there was nothing to worry or stress about. Taking a few deep breaths, I took the opportunity to glance around at my surroundings. Never in my life had I seen a lake so beautiful and blue. Tiny fishes of all different colours swam happily around me.“Hello my dear” That voice… I had heard it before only I couldn’t place when. Getting to my feet I turned to find a woman with pure white hair and blue eyes smiling at me. Everything about her drew m

    Raven’s POVThe drive home took forever but when we did arrive, I was more than glad. All I wanted was to have a proper bath and sleep in an actual bed. Let’s face it the hospital ones are anything but comfortable.Mykel helped me from the back of the car as Lilith grabbed Spartan and both of the baby bags. Grabbing Katherine and my hand, Mykel led me towards the house. As we approached the doors I thought back to when I first came here. My father had forced me to attend the Alpha meeting with him and Benjamin. Then when I met Mykel and realised he was my mate I wanted nothing more than to leave. Only now I realised how much I missed this place. Blood Moon had never felt like home, but this place did, and I had both my mates to thank for that.“SURPRISE!” Snapping me out of my thoughts the loud shouting had me jumping from my skin. Everyone from our pack had come to welcome us home and meet their future pack leaders. That one sentiment alone had me welling up, stupid hormones.“Raven…

    Lilith’s POV“Your highness…” turning around stood Kate her head low as she bowed in a sign of respect.“Please don’t… When you said I was special this is what you meant didn’t you.”“I did yes but I’m afraid there’s no time. Your mates are on their way to the hospital and will be safe for now. I’ve slowed Raven’s labour so I’d say you have two hours before my potion wears off.”“She’s in labour… it… it’s too early!”“I know and I’m afraid that’s my doing. Had her pregnancy continued another twenty-four hours I’m afraid something would have happened to them. I slipped something into her tea, but rest assured it won’t harm either of your pups. Alpha Mykel told me the witches from Ruby Wood came here with you, if that’s true it means we need to hurry. Come with me!” Kate held her hand out for me to take which I did without a second thought. Yet a part of me wondered why she was avoiding the witches that came for her.Everything within me told me to trust her. She was a seer. They were f

    Mykel’s POVThe aura Lilith gave off scared the shit out of even me. For weeks she had said how she couldn’t give in to the power she held and now I knew why the God’s had forbid her. I could no longer feel her presence, only raw untamed power.Ravens scream had my eyes darting away from Lilith and to where she sat on the ground. Her face twisted and contorted as she panted and tried to breathe through the pain of yet another contraction. This should have been a moment to treasure, our pup’s arrival something to celebrate but instead we were forced to fight for our lives. To fight for the lives of our pack and those who would soon enter this world. They should be bought into a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, not a place where they are at risk.Looking around in a panic I couldn’t see Xander anywhere. Having seen what happened to his father he clearly ran not wanting to end up the same. Though whether he liked it or not I wouldn’t rest a day until he too was dead. Only with him no lon

Yet as quick as it came it left leaving nothing but confusion behind.Dropping the half dead mutt to the ground I looked to see what it was until another shot me. Through the thick heavy fog, I hadn’t spot anyone focusing on me, so I knew it had something to do with Raven. Something that only fuelled the anger already burning within me.All around me wolves were tearing each other to shreds. Howls and whimpers coming from all directions while a river of blood watered the ground as the warm liquid began to melt the ice. The witches from Ruby Wood were good to their word and helped where they could. Only they practiced natural magic which wasn’t exactly deadly. Though at this moment in time any help was greatly appreciated and the fog they created gave us the cover we needed.Dante and his mate fought side by side which was something amazing to se

    Raven’s POVAs food was being placed on the table everything around us began to shake. At first it was nothing more than a small tremble. Something that could have been easily mistaken for an earthquake, but they gradually became more violent confirming they were explosions. The few pictures that hung the walls dropped, the glass shattering as they hit the ground. The china plates and cups moved nearer and nearer the edge of the table until they too ended up on the ground.“Alpha, they’ve found us!” Keeping a straight face I watched as my father lost his temper as one of his idiot men ran into the room. Judging by the look on both their faces they hadn’t planned on anyone finding them here.“No shit fucking Sherlock! Get them two into the bunker and do not open the fucking door unless I tell you to!” As I got to my feet another blast had the walls shaking as the lights began to flicker. By my count this was the fourth blast. This was my signal, so I knew what I had to do.Letting the

You know we wouldn’t stand a chance against Alaric and Benjamin’s packs.”“Don’t forget his other allies.”“Please let me finish before you make your final decision. Neither Mykel nor myself would be asking if we thought for a second we would lose. We have Alpha Dante and Spring Haven joining us tomorrow along with his new mate who also happens to be a Blood Witch. As for the Delamere Forest Pack I have accepted my title as their Alpha and in doing so ended all alliances with Blood Moon. I will be heading there tomorrow night ready to lead them the next day. All we need now is you. Ruby Wood is the only other pack in this region that’s allied with us and not Alaric. The others have alliances with us both so out of respect for the treaties they are staying out of it.” Ruth and Raymond’s eyes glossed over as they mine linked. I respected them both as did

    Raven’s POVWhen he was finished ‘having his fun’ I smiled. I mean how fucked up is that? To say the guard was creeped out was an understatement. In my defence what he did was nothing compared to what I’d been forced to endure at the hands of Benjamin. With him I would cry the entire time his roughness bringing nothing but an agonising pain, but the guard was almost gentle. Well almost. Sick right?When the doctor finished stitching my side, she forced some tablets into my hand explaining that they were antibiotics. My ever so loving father had bothered to go ahead of me and explain how he didn’t want anything to happen to the pups I carried should I get an infection from my injury. More like he didn’t know whether or not the guard he let have his way was riddled with an STD. Grandfather of the year right there! Yeh fucking right.He didn’t give a shit about me; I knew it and everyone else in this pack knew it. All he cared about was the lives growing inside of me though not for the n

    ***WARNING THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS TRIGGERS***Mykel’s POVThe sounds of snarls and growls grew louder the closer I became to Lilith. Suddenly a pain in my ribs caused my breath to hitch shortly followed by a chorus of cheers. Pushing my wolf harder than ever his paws barely touched the ground as he sprinted towards our mate.Seeing me arrive the onlookers backed away allowing me to pass through them without causing a fuss. In the centre of a roped off ring I found her. Her chestnut coloured wolf stood tall and proud as she battled against a wolf that had clearly seen better days. His size was nothing compared to that of my mate. His dark fur was patchy and thin clinging to his frame. Had it not been for his aura I would have thought someone else had taken Tye’s place.While Lilith’s movements were fluid and quick, Tye’s were both calculated and forceful. It was clear that even in his muscle lacked state he held a resemblance of strength. As the fight went on neither wolf seeming to sur

    Lilith’s POVAll night I tossed and turned unable sleep. I felt sick to my stomach with guilt at rejecting Mykel after we did the most normal thing a mated couple could do. I could feel his regret like a ton of bricks, but I didn’t have it in me to face him. He hadn’t done anything wrong, and I didn’t blame him one single bit. I blamed myself.I was the moon goddess and still hadn’t found our missing mate or pups. I felt like an outright failure. How on earth was I supposed to go into the challenge like this?As I laid there listening to the slow steady beat of Mykel’s heart it became clear what I needed to do. In order to do what needed to be done I would have to detach myself completely. It was the only way.As the sunlight flittered in through the gaps of the blind, I swung my legs out of the bed. Climbing out and changing into my sports bras and leggings before grabbing the notebook and pen I took another look at my mate and smiled. As I sneaked into the bathroom, I quietly closed
