All Chapters of Raven's Waking Dream: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Raven,” I hear Dad’s voice in my head as I finish my milk so I get up and walk through the kitchen to him. “Come on, there’s no one around for miles Mom and I made sure it was safe,” he says, making my ears perk up excited about running around outside. “Really?” I question with my tail wagging making him chuckle and nod his head as my eyes widen. “You’re a natural, just reach out for the link you’ll only be connected to those who have shifted that you’re related to and who you share a link with,” Dad replies proudly as he leads our way outside into the beautiful snow. “It’s so bright,” I mention as my eyes focus on every detail of my surroundings almost like the sun is up. Your sight is much better at night and the full moon reflects off the snow,” Dad explains watching me as I run around in the yard getting used to being on four paws. My tail begins to wag even more seeing my mom coming towards us from across the pasture. My dad begins to walk towards her and I begin to follow

“Raven!” Liliana sighs while jumping up on the bed and hugs me when Dad sits down on the bed with me in his arms. “Lily,” I cry while holding onto her with the blanket tightly around me. “Raven it’s ok,” Dad reassures while rubbing my back and I nod my head as I feel my mother’s rage nearly choking me like a thick fog. “I know Mom is angry,” I whisper while looking over at her as she paces next to the bed. “Mom was really scared, no one could find you and you’re naked,” Liliana admits while looking into my nearly black eyes and I look down and away. “I’m sorry,” I whisper while crawling into my bed holding the fur blanket over me. “Raven we’re just happy you’re ok. I’m glad Osric found you and helped you,” our dad reassures while rubbing my back as I face the wall knowing everyone was upset with me. “No!” I scream holding onto the fur blanket as tight as I can feeling it being pulled off of me. “Raven let go! You’re not keeping it!” Rebecca growls firmly pulling the blanket awa

“Alpha Osric, it is good to see you,” Gideon sounds glad as he walks closer baring his neck out of respect. “It’s good to see you well Gideon, you need to keep a better eye on Raven. She’s going to be targeted the second anyone sees her or how powerful she is,” I admit while looking around as I can smell something off in the air. “Rebecca if I ever see you act like that towards Raven again, I will use my position as Alpha King to take your children from you. They should never be afraid of their parents, especially their mother. I know you’ve had an extremely tough life, but that’s no excuse, you were treated very well in my pack,” I scold Rebecca making her drop to a submissive position as she whimpers unable to fight submitting to her Alpha. “Osric please, Rebecca was afraid Raven was found by rogues,” Gideon links moving between Rebecca and I making me nod as I understand being afraid for her daughter but scaring her like that is unacceptable. After talking for a few more moments

Raven’s POV Shortly after returning to Seattle, we were forced to leave the city and joined a real pack in Finland near Blood Moon. We lived peacefully in the pack able to hide Liliana’s abilities and that I shifted so young, but it all changed just after turning eleven. “Lily!” I call out feeling her fear as we were playing in the forest with other pack children, but they disappeared on us. “Where are you?” I ask quietly trying to find her scent as I can’t shift to find her because Alpha Quinn has no idea Liliana and I are different. “Lily!” I yell hearing my parents calling out for both of us from quite a distance and it is now getting dark. “Lily where are you; I know you’re scared,” searching for Liliana I try to link to her mind even though she has never been able to link me back. I nearly cry because I am still unable to communicate through the link without her shifting. I feel myself whimper as my hair stands on end making my claws start to come out feeling my sister’s f

“How are you feeling?” Osric questions while coming into his tent returning from scouting to find Liliana and I curled up together in his bed. “Tired,” Liliana answers while running her fingers through my silky onyx hair, I am curled in to her trying to process everything I have done. “It’s been a long night, just rest your parents are close. In the morning we’ll escort you to your grandmother’s house where you’ll be safe,” Osric admits while sitting in front of the fire as my eyes follow him unable to peel them away. “Why can’t we stay with your pack?” Liliana asks the one question I want to ask; but feel like I can’t, afraid of the answer. “You wouldn’t be safe; Blood Moon is one of the oldest packs to exist and follows outdated traditions that I am changing. They also follow the rule of an Elder Council which won’t appreciate Raven and her powers, so it’s safer for your family to hide for now. Someday it will be a place for your family,” Osric answers watching me sit up holding
