79. Redemption
RAVEN
Two days had passed since the night of the rejection. I had spent it sitting next to Damon, refusing to leave him, because even if he was smiling, I knew he was hurting. We put a movie on, although I knew neither of us were watching it as we had soon fallen asleep on the sofa.
I knew that it would take him time because he had held out hope. Somewhere along the line, I had given up, knowing that it wouldn’t work, but he had held on.
I hope somewhere in the future we can look back and smile at this entire situation. Someday, one day.
Today was the day of Liam’s trial. It terrified me to know that tonight he’ll be punished. This was the future Alpha of the pack, and although right now it felt like there was no hope, I was confident he would get there one day.
As for the curse, it was clear Liam himself had to do something to end it, but what? Even I didn’t know, all we knew was the answer lies within.
Moreover, the

RAVEN Damon raised the whip, I flinched when it struck Liam’s back. He didn’t even move, another followed, each lash made my heart squeeze. For his mistake… It’s for his mistake… I had to tell myself that, my heart thundering as each lash struck him, slicing through his skin and letting blood drip to the ground. Not once did he even flinch, despite his breathing becoming harder. But each lash was biting into me, the pain of watching him face this… Thirty… "Raven…" Uncle El said and I realised I was shaking. My heart was beating far too fast. "Step outside." "No." I said as I saw Taylor coming over. No doubt Uncle El had mind linked him. "I'm staying." I stared at Liam as Damon continued. The emotionless mask on Damon’s face was gone, pain and conflict on his face too as he frowned deeply continuing the punishment. "That’s enough now." I said suddenly, flinching as the silver cut into Liam’s back that was

RAVENIt was the following day, Damon and I had just arrived at the Westwood’s home and were seated in the lounge. I wasn’t sure how to feel knowing Liam was going to be there, I had gotten all emotional when he was in pain, but now I felt a little embarrassed about my outburst. The fact that I had literally shouted at Uncle El… I needed to apologise for that too…I looked at Damon, who was raising his eyebrows questioningly at me."I shouted at the Alpha." I whispered.He raised an eyebrow."You’ve teased and played pranks on him all your life. Are you scared now?" He joked quietly as he stroked his mother’s hair.She was fast asleep on the sofa when we entered, and neither of us wanted to disturb her."I know… but I shouted at him when I knew it wasn’t easy for him." I whispered back."Well gorgeous, it’s too late to regret it." He said.Our eyes met, both of us

RAVEN We walked away from the commotion of the party, the music fading a little, yet it was still loud enough to hear. He slowed down, falling into step beside me as I quickly ate my dessert. "So, we get the packhouse." He said quietly, sliding his hand out of his pocket and holding out the piece of paper which contained a list of door numbers. "The ones marked off are those members fully in the clear." I nodded, taking the paper from him. We had a lot of rooms to search… "Shall we split when we get there? There’s a lot of rooms to cover. Maybe one of us can start from the bottom and the other from the top, although I doubt it would be an Omega. " I said. Liam shook his head. "No one gets a pass. Everyone is capable. In fact, Omega’s have access to a lot of places with ease." He said quietly as we entered the packhouse and he slid out a bunch of keys. "The extra keys." Keys that I knew were not meant to be used. "Where

RAVEN An hour had passed, Owen had been captured and tossed into the cells. Uncle El was making sure everyone was getting home safely. Right now, we hadn't told anyone we had caught the killer because he hadn’t admitted to it, although there were rumours going around that someone had been taken in. My mind flashed to what happened with Liam not long after we had made the discovery and Owen had been brought to the cells, my heart thudding at the memory. (A SHORT WHILE AGO) "Liam…" "I’m going to kill him." His eyes blazed, and I watched the black begin to creep over the whites of his eyes. He had given Owen a few punches for talking back but he was getting angrier thanks to Owen not knowing when the hell to shut up. Fuck! "Liam... Liam, calm down." I said quietly, approaching him. The bond was stronger now, please let it help. ‘Raven move!’ Damon’s panicked voice came through the mind link. ‘Don’t come clo

LIAMI wrapped my arms around her, my hands roaming her back. The feel of her skin through the thin lace of her top sent sparks running through me, fuck she felt so good. I throbbed against her, biting back a growl of approval as she leant into me, her fingers grazing the back of my neck. I nuzzled my nose against her neck, her fresh floral scent clouding my senses as she sighed softly, her lips grazing my earlobe.My eyes flashed and the urge to kiss her grew stronger, but I couldn’t…"Liam…" She moaned breathlessly, the tantalising scent of her arousal seeping into the air.Fuck…I squeezed her ass, kissing her neck sensually. The moment my lips trailed along her collar bones, she whimpered loudly, sighing in pure bliss the moment my lips touched her mark. Extra sensitive.I’ll change it. One day I’ll make the memory less painful… somehow.I wouldn’t last long enough. The negative

SCARLETT The smell of chocolate and brownies filled the air, mixed with Azura’s shrieks of excitement. Sliding on an oven glove, I took the fresh tray of brownies from the oven, I felt calmer when I baked. Elijah was playing with Azura, tossing her up in the air and catching her with ease, looking as handsome as he did when I first fell for him. My king, my mate, my world. That wouldn’t change, ever, but when you become a mother, the space in your heart grows. I have three beautiful children that I love more than life itself. I would die for them, and I would kill for them, but if they make a mistake, I would also be there to tell them that. The front door opened, I knew it was Liam from the way he shut the door. He was always quiet, as if he did not want to disturb anyone. Kiara was a little louder, but she was with Raven the majority of the time and that girl was loud. I smiled, remembering their giggles as they thought they were succeeding in steal

LIAMIt was later in the evening, and I had worked with Damon before returning home to dad’s place. I still needed to talk to him, and I would do it soon. I mind linked Raven asking her if she wanted to come over, and she had sounded pretty flustered, although she had replied that she was obviously going to come and to leave the window open for her. typical Raven.I was glad she was coming, because I needed it. Throughout the day I felt myself on the brink of losing control, and the amount of wolfsbane I had injected in myself was enough to kill. But I was fine. The moment that darkness grew, it was as if I was suddenly immune to it.I had just showered, I had just grabbed a towel when I felt the flare of darkness grow inside of me.Focus…There was nothing that triggered me, but the urge it had to release itself and wreak havoc made it fucking hard to control.Let it all out and this struggle will stop.

DAMONNight had fallen and I was in the packhouse, in Liam’s office, trying to look at the tracker families in the pack - those who had the ability to hide their heartbeats - when there was a knock on the door."Enter."I had left the door unlocked since I was in here anyway. The door opened and Robyn’s familiar scent hit my nose before I glanced up. She seemed surprised to see me alone, glancing around the room as if this was a mistake. She was dressed in figure-hugging clothes consisting of a black vest top and denim high waisted jeans."I won’t bite." I said, smiling slightly.That emptiness in my chest that she had once partially filled had only grown since the rejection. It hurt. It fucking hurt. I pushed the thought away. I don’t think I ever had a chance anyway, I would always be second, whether that was simply because Raven and Liam always had a stronger connection or because I couldn’t bring myself to fight fo
