“Alpha Raven, your Luna and future Queen told you to remove your hand from her wrist, I suggest you do so now if you wish to leave with your life as well as the lives of your daughters intact.” Osric’s voice bellows from behind me. I hear Helena gasp from the shop door as my body trebles from my own rage and what I feel through the bond. “Alpha Osric, your mate struck my daughter permanently disfiguring her…” James begins to speak then grabs his throat when his voice to become mute. His tilt his head to the side in confusion as I do my best to mask a slight smirk knowing Osric is using his aura to silence him. “You will remain silent. Alpha Embry observed the entire interaction. My mate is well within her right to discipline your daughter for her disrespect and slander. Both girls will spend a week in the cells while Ella will suffer 100 lashes. James you will also be punished with 100 lashes of braided silver for insubordination and daring to touch this packs Luna while carrying m

“It’s Liliana, come in.” I call out, while holding onto the edge of the tub as I move to my knees letting the warm water support my belly.“What’s going on? Why is Daddy getting everyone prepared to evacuate to Blood Moon?” Liliana questions, coming into the bathroom with Aiden in her arms as he chews on his fingers.“Lucas is getting ready to attack, we need to get everyone who can’t fight out of danger; if we lose land that’s fine, but I won’t let them lose their lives.” I answer, looking back as Osric gently massages my hips and sides of my belly.“What about you?” Liliana questions, looking behind her to see our dad in the doorway.“I have to stay here; I can’t just leave Wolf Creek during an attack. I’m sorry, Daddy, I command you to get Liliana and her son to Blood Moon’s border and protect our people. I will be ok. I have Osric and Embry; Eya is also coming.” I look my father in the eye hating using my alpha command on him, but I know I have to or else Liliana will fight to sta

“They’ve crossed the border.” Osric growls from the bar, getting some ice for me as I’ve been in labor all day, it’s nearing 2 A.M. and the full moon is nearly at its peak. My dad was right, almost an hour after getting here, the room filled with Osric and Embry’s scents, I couldn’t stand anyone else coming into the room. Even Liliana coming in makes me growl, feeling like I have to keep this room safe from anything and anyone for my pups. “Embry!” I cry out, gripping onto the pillow in front of me as tight as I can when I feel a very strong contraction hit hard. “It’s ok we’re right here.” Osric hurries over to me as I shake my head feeling more pain shoot through my stomach and back. “Sorry, I had to check in with Ryder, the fighting has begun.” Embry apologizes, coming over to me, they are both dressed in boxers after shifting back when we ate dinner. “It hurts so badly.” I whimper while digging my claws into Osric’s forearm, now on my hands and knees, as he moves closer and r

“I got him! Raven, I need you to trust me.” Jonathan voice comes from the kitchen as he drags in a very beat up werewolf that is covered in Dad’s blood.“What are you doing?” I question as my voice quivers, when I look at him, hoping he knows how to save our father.When interrogating Jonathan, I’ve been getting through to him some with my efforts to get him to turn on Orin to protect his son.“A life for a life. Liliana let me see your left hand and leave your right hand on Gideon. Your healing power is ancient just like Raven’s power, you can take the life of your father’s killer to save him.” Jonathan explains, throwing the battered werewolf at Liliana’s feet.Liliana looks furious, angrier than I have ever seen her, as she instantly digs her claws into the man’s chest.Liliana’s claws dig in deep, as she instinctively begins draining his life creating a dull red light appear between them.After a moment a bright white light that turns lavender emanates from her right hand that res

“How far?” I link looking in the direction instantly spotting Lucas, I tilt my head as I can see his aura, he’s lit up like a beacon.“Thirty yards,” Jacoby answers with a wheeze like he is hit.“I see him, are you ok?” I growl, when Lucas and I lock eyes.“I’m ok,” Jacoby coughs, I shake my head and navigate my way through the battle field putting myself within striking distance of Lucas.“Beta Ryder, has your Alpha sent you to announce her surrender?” Lucas taunts from his placement, perched up on a tree stump.“Please tell me you’re going to shut this prick up?” I hear Thane through the link, making me look to my left to see a black wolf that’s larger than Thane.“Remember what I told you?” I ask looking to my right to see Thane’s leaner black wolf that’s a smaller version of Angel’s wolf.“Do what you’ve got to do bro, dad and I have your back,” Thane nods, making me step forward and shift back to answer Lucas and announce my intentions.“Raven would never surrender Wolf Creek to
