All Chapters of Awakening The Sliver Wolf : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

RAVENNA POV Today has been one hell of a day. It had began with an emotionally love confession—that I'm currently trying not to think about—to revealing of plans to rule the wolf world, to judging, to another emotional series.Now, I was drained. Darius and I sat on the floor, our backs resting on his desk, my head on his shoulder and our fingers interlocked.He must also feel drained because he hadn't said anything for ten minutes, or was it an hour? Who knew. "Will you tell me about it?" I asked, not knowing what I wanted to hear. Everything. "Where would I start from?" he asked, more to himself than to me. But I answered regardless. "Anywhere." He didn't say anything for a while. "My mother was a lovely woman," he began, his voice calm. "She always had a smile on her face, always looking out for others more than she did herself. She was loved by the pack, dea

RAVENNA POV I haven't even closed the door to my room before Mia was on me. "Tell me everything," she said, dragging me towards the bed."What's everything that I'm supposed to tell you?" I asked, confused as Mia particularly threw me on the bed and climbed in, sitting leg-crossed opposite me. "Everything that just happened in the office between the alpha and you." Heat rushed to my face. "Oh. There's really nothing to tell, Mia.""Oh, shut your mouth," she chuckled. "Your red face gave you away." Her eyes dropped to my lips and a smirk curved her lips. "Your lips are swollen too. And," she continued, dragging the word, "the way the alpha had looked at you says everything. You were all he was seeing, Ravenna. I didn't exist." I looked away, the heat spreading. "It's not like that." Liar. It was a matter of fact like that."Mmm-hmm," she grinned wickedly, unconvin

RAVENNA POV Zara knew where to hit, always did. Her words dragged me back to my old life. A life where I was a nobody, a wolfless person, an outcast, the alpha's least favorite daughter.Those memories came crashing down on me like an avalanche, hit and brutal. I remembered Lila's sharp slaps, and her sharper words. My father's disapproving looks. Zara's cruel smile when she got away with everything and I took the hit. Lucas's betrayal. The pack that was never there for me.I remembered it all. I had thought I had long since healed and moved on from that life. What a lie that was. I was just too good at convincing myself that it was all behind me. And so here I stood, listening to Zara unfold my linens to this pack that I'm starting to see as home even though my first impression of them wasn't perfect. Now they knew I was banished from my old pack, now they knew Zara and I wer

RAVENNA POV "Ravenna, is that you?"His voice still sounded the same, still had that deepness that was soft to hear, and a little bit of rasp to it. I tried to speak but my voice came out choked. So I waited until the tears had subsided and the lump in my throat had cleared a little before I replied, "Yes, daddy. It's me." There came a sound from the other line that sounded like he exhaled. "How have you been, my girl?"I had to press my fist into my mouth to keep the sob from bursting out, looking up at the ceiling. He called me 'my girl'. He called me 'his' girl. He hasn't called me that since mom died. "I'm fine, daddy," I croaked. "I'm fine.""You don't sound fine, Ravenna. Are you okay? Where are you? Are you hurt?"I breathed in deeply and got myself under control so I could ask the question that was currently tearing at my insides. "Zara told me something," I began slowly.I could particularly feel his confusion from this side. "You met Zara?" he asked, the confusion plain i

DARIUS POV It was taking all my willpower to keep my face blank and let this snake touch me. Her touch repulsed me, burned my skin. But I let her continue to think she had won here. I was a predator, I liked to hunt and taunt my prey before I striked. But Zara here had been the one to hunt me out. When we were done finalizing the deal and signing documents for our new alliance, I had wanted to go find Ravenna.I knew she was hurting despite how high she held her chin earlier. I knew because her body had remained tense. And I could see it all in her beautiful eyes.And so I wanted to find her, and touch her, and kiss her and just fucking love her. But then this snake had found me when I came outside my room, had dragged me to the guest floor claiming Alpha Hale had entrusted her with a message she couldn't have said in front of Lucian and Lucas. And so I followed her here.
