//Raven//"Where have you been? I was worried," Jess expressed, as soon as I trudged into the house."I am fine, Jess. I went for a walk." I faked a smile but Jess could see right through my forced smile."Tell me....what's wrong? Why are you so down? No faking this time." Jess asked, passing me a worried look as she trailed behind me to my bedroom.I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't want Jess to worry about my problems with Zander.So I just walked into the bathroom and closed the door quickly, behind me.Ten minutes after being locked in the bathroom, I cracked the door open and was shocked to see Jess patiently waiting for me.She didn't move an inch. She was resting on my bed with her legs up in the air. Leisurely waiting for me.I rolled my eyes at the ‘I'm not going anywhere, look in Jessica's eyes.’"Go to bed, Jessica. You have work in the morning," I signed."So do you." Jess frowned at the tactics I was using to get her out of my way.She was expecting the truth from
//Raven//The banging was loud as someone hit the door destructively. I woke up startled and it was morning already. The sun was up, glaring down at me through the open window."Raven....Raven!!!" I heard my name being called out and I turned to find Jessica’s side of the bed empty. I rolled over, groaning, almost falling off my bed. I felt rested after hours of sleep. My mind was completely blank with no immediate recollection of what transpired the previous evening. Goddess, what time was it? I swung my legs over to the edge of the bed."Raven open up!" the bang on the door got louder.I got up and advanced towards the door and flung it open, to find one of Allison's omegas at the door. I frowned at her. What was she doing here? Has something happened to Jess?"Good morning Raven. Sorry to wake you up, but the Luna wants to have breakfast with you at her place." I heaved a sigh and the frown on my face increased.Why does Allison want to see me? Does she know about Zander and I?
//Raven//He was here!The enticing scent made me shudder as panic ran through me.I leaped from the bench and snapped my head back and forth, looking for a place to hide.I darted between the flowers and hid between them. My heart nearly jerked out of my chest.A small soft voice squirmed in excitement as a baritone voice laughed, counting down from thirty.Suddenly, a small girl with hazel eyes climbed into the flower, where I was hiding.Her eyes widened with a mixture of shock and excitement.I gazed at her, completely mesmerized by the pool of innocent hazel eyes staring back at me.I had never seen eyes look so innocent before. She giggled and placed her fingers on her lips, gesturing for me to keep quiet. "No talking aunty or else papa will find us and force me to shower. " she huffed in a shushing manner, crawled, and curled up on my lap. Poking his tiny head out to take a peek.I played along and hushed.“Ten...Nine...Eight.” Zander counted down."One, Ready or not, I am comi
//Raymond McQueen// (Raven’s father)A groan escaped the filthy mouth of the man dangling from a chain as I glared at him with blood trickling down my knuckles. He was a werebear , he smelled like the bear that attacked my former Luna and Raven.For the past weeks, he has been without food or water.Despite being tortured for close to two months, the accomplice of my wife’s killer refused to talk and I was running out of patience .“ Who killed Mellisa Macqueen?” I sneered. “And where are the bears hiding?” I believe my mate's death was orchestrated by the bear Alpha. They lived in hiding and no one knew of their whereabouts.My finger jerked forward with pressure , landing a blow on his jaws.I grabbed the bastard by the throat with little strength and choked him before he could have talked. The werebear panted in exhaustion and sealed his lips. His loyalty to my mate's murderer shinned in his eyes.He was determined to take the secret to the grave…. I admired his resistance and lo
//Alpha Chase Roland //***Two weeks ago***“Alpha, one of the men you sent after Raven is back “. Ben updated me after walking into my office without knocking as I sent my narrowed, fuming eyes his way . I was sick of the chase game. I wanted her back . I need her in my life. I wanted to punish her , fuck her and then lock her up from the world. I yearned for her. Wanted to punish her over and over again until I took all the fury and steam from these months of waiting and searching out of my system.I will break her , make her beg to be mine . “ Bring him in , now !” I growled and my eyes glowed yellow.My beta rushed out immediately. My body shuddered in anticipation and was overcome with rage as the wine glass of whiskey shattered into pieces in my hand.The best tracker in my clan , Mattew, strode in within a matter of seconds. He bared his neck in a bow and cast his eyes away like a good follower. My wolf perked up, looking behind him for our Barbie doll.“Where is my possessio
//Zander//I marveled at how easy it was for Daisy to accept Raven . I watched them play the entire time and it was like they had been doing it all their lives . I was blown away . Raven was incredible. I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming amount of pride . Raven handled Daisy beautifully . She dealt with her tantrums and was able to get Daisy to even eat meals that she despised the most. I must say I was surprised when Daisy finished up her food without complaining. I felt angry and jealous that Daisy was connecting with Raven in the short period they'd known each other. Children!As of now , I didn’t know what I wanted. I was indecisive about my love life …. But I can’t deny that a large part of me wants to be with her.It was driving me insane. I was at war with myself. However, I intended to see what this so-called fate had in store for Raven and I .I exhaled. I knew I was a fucking idiot for almost rejecting her.I walked into the dining area the next morning to see her placi
//Zander//Raven departed to collect her items from her room on the right wing. This gave me the chance to really think about what transpired between us this morning. I was suddenly feeling hot as sweat formed around my brows . I ambled to the sink in the bathroom, smashed cold water on my face, letting out a heavy exhale . As I wiped my face with a towel, my reflection in the mirror mocked me. I felt like I had lost to her by agreeing and accepting another mate into my life. I felt tricked , played by the little human girl.It was obvious she had it all planed out and was waiting for an opportunity to initiate it.“Ha! Don’t blame her.” Axel laughed . Apologizing to her, gave her the advantage she needed.“ No, that’s not it. It was because you underestimated our mate . Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you… haha”, Axel taunted , laughing like a mad dog. He was happy our mate was moving in with us. This was what he wanted …. I grunted. Raven thought she was in love with me . It was all
//Raven//After dinner, Zander took Jessica and I around the kitchen to help us familiarize ourselves with the place.“ Plates are on the top right cabinet . Cups and cutleries are on the lower shelf. You can find all the pans you need in the lower cabinets “, he grumbled as he opened the cabinet doors. “Daisy has her own plates and cups in here.” Zander pointed to a small drawer . "She is found breaking glass and hurting herself in the process, so be on watch around her. Also, she tries to wash her dishes after meals and likes helping out during washing time. Please and please again, give it a good rinse when she goes out of the kitchen “, Zander chuckled and sent a pointed look my way . My heart fluttered at the eyes he had given me. I turned and signed all that he had uttered to Jessica.“ One more thing, Daisy is allergic to peanuts and tomatoes . Always remember to leave them out of her meals . I would be furious to be called to the hospital because of your negligence “. He huff
