39. A Realisation
RAVEN
"Let’s have a look around just in case." Liam said quietly.
The moment he took my mug off me all three of us stood up. Damon scanned the kitchen before looking at the back door.
"How did they even get in?" He murmured more to himself than us.
"The door was unlocked." I said, scanning the ground to see if there were any foot prints or anything.
"The door was definitely locked, I always check and hide the keys so Momma doesn’t wander out."
"You check the kitchen, see if anything looks out of place. Although you are so fucking messy, I doubt you’ll even realise if anything is out of place." Liam remarked.
"I cleaned the kitchen today…" Damon almost sounded like he was complaining.
"Hard to believe." Liam replied, looking around the fairly clean kitchen. "I’ll take a look outside."
It was almost like old times with their friendly banter. I just hoped that this could become permanent.

DAMON I left the house, mind linking Robyn to ask where she was. ‘At the packhouse, is everything ok Damon?’ She sounded worried and I felt a little bad, I had totally shut her out since Raven got back and I ended things. Yeah, what I did wasn’t right, but Robyn was the one who got hurt in this equation, along with Raven. "Yeah, all’s good, I just need to ask you something." I asked, breaking into a run. She had a key to our house. Back when she used to house sit and watch Mom, I gave her both the front and back door. I just needed to make sure she still had them, or ask if she had come around today, although I doubted that… "Ok." She sounded hesitant. I entered the packhouse, going straight up to Robyn’s room. I knocked on it lightly and she opened it pretty quickly. I guess she was watching out the window. "What is it?" She asked, crossing her arms. I didn’t miss the fact that she was wearing a fluffy gown ove

RAVENWe reached the packhouse and Liam was quiet, but I could tell he was mind-linking from the way he nodded once or twice. I had a pretty good idea that he was discussing security or something. We entered the packhouse and Liam went into the kitchen. I headed upstairs, wanting a shower and to actually just get a good night’s sleep.The lingering thought that time was running out for Liam niggled at the back of my mind. How did we break this damn curse? How would we know the curse was broken?We needed to do this ourselves, I would get to the bottom of this. The boys can work on finding the killer, and I will work on this.‘Damon?’ I called through the link.‘Yes, gorgeous?’‘Did you ask Robyn?’‘I did, she said you can show her since you’re at the packhouse, I don’t think she wants anything to do with me.’‘As much as I feel a little bad for you, I like

LIAM I ran my eyes over her; dressed in that clingy black oversize nightshirt that slipped off one of her slender shoulders, draping over her perky round breasts, her sexy legs perfectly on display for me, making me fucking hard. Her gorgeous eyes staring at me, that slender nose and those plump pouty lips that were begging to be kissed… Fuck she was fucking beautiful. There was an innocence beyond that mischievous look of hers, one I was ready to destroy and show her exactly what she was missing out on. But I needed her to be ready for that… I walked towards her, waiting for her answer. "I'm waiting, darling." I murmured, taking hold of her chin. Her breath hitched, her lips parting slightly as she stared into my eyes. "If you want to." She said softly. I smirked. "Is that a yes?" I pushed seductively. "Yes." She poked her eyes out at me and I tugged her into my arms. "Good." I murmured. Leaning down I

RAVENIt was the following day, and the conversation with Liam remained at the front of my mind. It almost felt like a cloud of doom looming over my head.I could tell that sharing me wasn’t an option for him.Even though he was trying to at least tolerate Damon, it was obvious that there was no aspect of making it work.What did that mean?Damon’s kindness, patience and selflessness were things I loved too. He was someone who was dear to me with or without this bond.But ultimately, if I had to really choose one to have a relationship with…A sudden wave of guilt washed over me and I pushed the thoughts away."In sets!" I shouted, trying to focus on the training session.Everyone obeyed except Taylor who seemed to be distracted.‘Taylor?’ I called through the link.He blinked and looked at me."Sorry." He muttered, stepping up beside the guy next to him, ready to spar.

ZACK I glared at her. Goddess! She was so damn stubborn. That got her to shut up. She blinked at me as if I had just spoken a foreign language. ‘Taylor’s sister-in-law? She’s like thirty-three…’ She looked confused. Don’t I know it? I was just a few months younger than Raven, I knew she was doing the math. ‘But… She’s been mated for like twelve years…’ She replied, I could hear the realisation settle into her voice. Guilt flitted through me as she turned her blazing eyes on me. ‘Look I'm not proud of it, but it happened just before I found out he was my mate. I was eighteen and an older woman hitting on you… It wasn’t that hard to fall for it. It was just sex.’ I sighed in frustration. ‘So just… stay out of it.’ ‘No… I don’t get it. She cheated on her mate? Goddess! Her mate is such a good person too… Channing has always been so nice, he was injured…’ Although Kiara was able to save his life, there wasn’t much s

TAYLOR My heart was racing as I stared over at my sexy as hell mate; in his leather jacket, fitted shirt, and that pout that’s always set on his sexy face. Goddess, I’d let him do me all the fucking time. Just the thought was turning me on, but the worry and guilt in his eyes had me on edge. When the waitress returned, Zack retracted his hands, much to my disappointment. She left us with our drinks and food, closing the door behind her. Soft music was playing in the background, and I honestly could have just pretended we were on a surprise date if it wasn’t for how apprehensive Zack was acting. "Zack, what is it?" "When I was eighteen… I kind of got into a sexual relationship with this she-wolf... But when I met you, I wanted to break it off... The thing is…" He ran his hand through his messy hair, his heart thudding. I knew Zack’s had a few relationships, but I also knew our connection was strong. "Zack, why are you ne

RAVEN I felt awful. Zack had told me what had happened and I felt like shit, I didn’t mean to make matters worse, but I had. I padded up the stairs in wolf form before entering the bathroom and grabbing a towel. Reaching beneath the cabinet, I slid my bedroom key out and trudged down the hall to my bedroom. Unlocking the door, I entered feeling exhausted, however, I had asked Robyn for help tonight and I needed to go visit her too. I quickly told Zack that Taylor was ok, he seemed relieved and thanked me. I hoped they managed to sort this problem out. I groaned, getting dressed quickly in underwear, sweatpants and a ribbed vest top. I grabbed the book, shoved it into the bag and headed to Robyn’s room. I knocked on her door, hearing music from inside the room despite the soundproof walls, you could still faintly make out the sounds. She opened it pretty quick, dressed in yoga pants and a crop top. She really was gorgeous. I couldn’t really bla

RAVENAfter last night's events, and the fact that Aunty Monica almost got poisoned, I felt down. Through training, although Owen behaved, despite the unmasked hatred in his eyes, I was in a morbidly gloomy frame of mind.Liam had been out all night, I knew they were trying to look for more leads. I had mind linked Damon asking if he wanted me over, instead, he asked if I could spend the night as he was going to be out, and I had agreed.Damon had got back late at night and was sleeping when I left for training.I had now returned to the packhouse and showered, although the boiling water incident remained in my mind.I got dressed in a maroon halter dress, leaving my back on show, black lace tights and heeled knee-high boots. I applied some smoky eye make-up, paying more attention to my brother’s eye, I had never thought much of it but loved the fact that my eyes were different. It often made for a good conversation starter when people looked
