All Chapters of Raven's Waking Dream: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Wow, Ryder this is beautiful,” I softly gasp while walking into the room where Ryder has a table set ready for dinner. “Anything for you,” he whispers into my ear before gently nibbling at my earlobe making me whimper wanting him badly. “Come sit, I made you grilled reindeer tenderloin on a bed of handmade linguine with a mushroom sauce,” Ryder pulls out my chair for me as my eyes lit up loving homemade pasta and mushrooms. “Where did you get the reindeer?” I can’t help but ask while looking down at my plate nearly drooling at the delicious smell of our meal. “Jyrki overnighted some frozen venison to Gideon and naturally had your name on the tenderloin,” Ryder speaks with slightly blushed cheeks making me smile at how cute he is. “You do know my favorites, this smells amazing Kulta, thank you,” I grab my fork as Ryder pours me a glass of red wine before pouring himself some. “You’re welcome, I wanted to do something special for you since we’ve been so busy taking care of Aiden a

Raven’s POV I did my best to cope with the hallow feeling of being alone and pregnant, hiding away from everyone, and pushing away unwanted attention from boys at school.Finding out that I am carrying two pups made me even more terrified of being alone and around people who weren’t in my household.My fear and anxiety I got around strangers made me quit school and spend all my time at home hiding in my room or outside training with Embry trying to take my mind off everything. Finally sleeping well for the first time in almost four months as everything sinks in on its own time.“Raven, wake up,” I roll over to my stomach burying my face in my pillow.My entire body grows tense as I now hate people coming into my room not liking foreign scents in my room that is now becoming my den.“I need sleep,” I growl before I take a deep breath instantly quieting after I smell Liliana’s sweet floral scent.For some odd reason Liliana’s and Embry’s scents are the only two that don’t make my insti

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault and rape “Well, well, well what do we have here?” A deep familiar voice sends chills running down my spine when I realize I am walking near the high school. “Please, leave me alone,” I sigh while looking over recognizing the people following me from school from when I was going to try to fit in. “Oh, come on you can come hang out with us… Valery and Michelle are joining us,” Gerard says while draping his arm over Valery who walks over with her evil twin. “No,” I firmly speak in the middle of turning to leave to have Michelle lock arms with me. I shake my head while doing my best to hide my belly wanting to protect my pups. “Don’t worry we just want to hang out,” Michelle tells me to coax me into being obedient, leading our way to the football field with four other girls and at least six other football players. “Michelle, leave me alone! I have things to do,” I snarl trying to pull away feeling Gerard’s hand on the small of my back guiding me. No

“I can’t stay here,” I sob into Embry’s chest while wrapping my arms firmly around his neck. “I know, I’ve already got Gideon and Nikki getting everyone packing. We will leave first thing tomorrow,” Embry reassures when I feel him gently wash my back with a soft sponge. “How do I ask them to follow me when I couldn’t protect myself?” I growl to myself feeling so angry that I couldn’t stop Gerard from raping on me. I was too weak and too afraid to fight back; I was terrified of something happening to my pups who deserve a stronger mother. “You did though, Raven no one else can do what you did. You might not have been able to stop Gerard from violating you, but you did keep him from doing worse, you protected your pups, and you did save Liliana and Valery from those boys. You also made sure no one would ever get hurt by them again,” Embry’s deep voice vibrates in his chest as the scent of warm vanilla and cinnamon surrounds me lulling me into exhaustion. “You will be ok, I promise R

After the long flight to Finland, I fell asleep in the car for a few hours trying to imagine raising my pups alone. I abruptly wake up feeling my head explode with hundreds of voices all at once saying the same thing, “Alpha?” “We just crossed the border, the pack link woke you,” Embry speaks, keeping his eyes ahead as he drives. I can’t help cringing at all the confused voices talking over each other. “Raven, tune them out only let in the ones trying to connect directly to you through,” Embry speaks in concern when he sees the way I shift in my seat trying to block them out of my mind. “How many are there?” I question with my eyes clamped shut as I firmly press my forehead to the frozen window. “639,” Embry answers while reaching over pressing the back of his hand against my cheek. I can’t help my smile or the blush flooding my cheeks finding comfort in him checking on me. “I’ll be ok, it’s working,” I sigh while taking a deep breath focusing on the different voices finding th
