43. An Outburst
RAVEN
It 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

RAVEN I had just entered Taylor’s bedroom, the creams and browns of the décor and walls made the room look warm and welcoming. I saw him laying on his bed staring at the ceiling. "Hey. We missed you at training." I said softly, walking over to his bed. He sat up slowly and I hugged him tightly. "I'm not feeling up to training." He muttered, laying down again and grabbing a square cushion, hugging it to his chest as he sighed deeply. "I know, but you can’t stay cooped up." I said, stroking his hand. Our eyes met, and the pain in his tugged at my heart. "I'm sorry." I whispered. He gave me a pointed look. "Really Raven, you need to stop with the self-blaming. I'm glad I know what a… jerk Zack’s been. As for Anna, I don’t know what the hell to do." He groaned in frustration. So that was his dilemma, but right now I didn’t trust myself to give him any advice. "I don’t even know what to do with my lif

RAVENI felt so angry, I hated that I didn’t even know about Renji, and now the fact that Dad had been thrown into the cells! Both Damon and Liam had a chance to tell me but they hadn’t.I wanted to talk to Dad, tell him how he makes me feel and end it, but did I really want to go and see him in prison?I couldn’t let this drag on, I wanted to get it over with, I guess I had no other choice. I made my way to the Blood Moon headquarters and waited for the security team to let me in."Do you have a pass?" Ben asked. He was part of the security but I knew him from around."No, I'm only here to speak to my father. You can escort me down." I said curtly."I'm not sure if he’s allowed visitors…" He replied hesitantly.My eyes flashed and I glared at him coldly."I can speak to my father. He’s here because of me. Please Ben."I could tell he was struggling."I…Fine, as head war

RAVEN "Liam." I choked out as his hand became tighter. "A-Alpha!" Ben stuttered, clearly not expecting the change in Liam. Liam’s eyes snapped towards him, his Alpha command surging forth. With just one look, the man lowered his head, moving away. My eyes widened… That… Liam didn’t even say anything… "Liam!" I said, my nails digging into his hands as I tried to get him to let go of me. "Liam, please let go." My heart thundered as Liam threw me aside roughly, I hit the bars on the opposite side, groaning as pain jarred through me before I fell to the ground, just about breaking my fall. The burn of the silver searing my bare back made me pull away from them. "A-Alpha…" "No one can protect you, not even her." Liam hissed as Dad spluttered, backing away from the bars. ‘Run!’ I told Ben, praying he didn’t have the keys just in case Liam tried to get them. He moved towards me, but I shook my head. ‘I…

Aunty Red said, placing a tray of snacks and drinks on the coffee table, her eyes full of concern as she saw Uncle El frowning.We were all seated in the living room of the Westwood home."Come here." He said, taking her hand and pulling her into his lap, trapping her in his arms and kissing her neck.I was sitting on the sofa opposite, with Liam on one side and Damon on the other.
