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 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

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

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

RAVENI sighed staring at the men’s perfume set that I was holding in my hand. I had come out to Stratford Upon Avon’s largest shopping centre to buy a gift for Uncle El’s upcoming birthday. It was in the afternoon, but I still couldn’t get Robyn’s words from earlier out of my mind about how I needed to tell someone about me on the verge of going into heat. But forget that, more than my heat, I needed to tell Liam about mine and Damon’s rejection.I was going to tell him yesterday in the car, but then the stupid pain played up. Then last night I waited for him, but he had come late and I had fallen asleep.Damon had linked me earlier, asking me why I hadn’t told Liam. Last night, Liam had talked to him and it was clear he didn’t know. I explained to him that I had been about to tell him twice but stuff came up.But today I had booked a table in a restaurant here in town, and I was going to tell him. I wasn't
