Chapter: Chapter 83: Axel AscendsRaven’s POV Axel stood over Selene’s body and the glow under his skin got brighter and brighter until I had to look away.His laugh was so cruel and thunderous. He threw his head back and screamed at the sky.Power cracked around him in waves.The ground shook, truck headlights flickered and went off.Every wolf still breathing dropped to their knees.Even my guys, and I. My legs just folded and I hit the dirt.Axel opened his eyes.They were not green anymore, they were black mixed with gold.He looked bigger, and taller with widened shoulders. Muscles moved under his skin.He flexed his fingers and claws grew long and black. He looked down at his hands then he looked at me.“Feel that, baby girl?” His voice was deeper. Two voices at once. “This is what you were supposed to give me.”I tried to push myself up but my arms shook too badly. I stayed on my knees.He walked toward me slowly with the blade in hand. Every step left a burn mark on the ground.Luca tried to stand but Axel fl

Chapter: Chapter 82: The Final StandRaven’s POV I woke up to the sound of engines that rattled the windows. Luca was already at the bedroom door with a gun. Dante stood over me, chest heaving, eyes wild.Ethan was trying to sit up on the bed beside me, face gray, stitches pulling at his chest.Eli ran in with a second later, hair sticking up, syringe kit banging against his leg.“They’re here,” he said. “All of them. Axel brought every rogue he could pay or scare. Selene’s with him. They’re at the gate.”I pushed myself up.My body felt so weak and my wolf was still silent. I had nothing left, no power, no strength. Just my human self. I swung my legs off the bed and my knees buckled.Dante caught me before I hit the floor.“I can’t feel anything,” I whispered. “I’m empty.”Ethan grabbed my hand. His grip shook. “Then he looked at the others. “She stays behind us.”“No,” I said.Everyone looked at me.I pulled away from Dante and stood on my own this time. Though my legs were shaking, and my ribs were still hurt, but

Chapter: Chapter 81: Ethan’s FallRaven’s POV The world went quiet.All the fighting, screaming and everything stopped. I couldn’t even feel the wind anymore. There was just me on my knees in a puddle of Ethan’s blood, holding his face, begging him to open his eyes again.He did not, his skin was already cooling under my fingers and I felt the bond snap.It was not a slow tear, it was a violent rip right through the middle of my chest. I couldn’t breathe, and my vision tunneled.Everything hurt so bad I thought I would die right there with him.Luca’s voice cracked behind me. “Raven. Raven, talk to me.”I couldn’t even answer.Dante dropped beside me, hands hovering, afraid to touch Ethan. His voice came out broken. “No. No, no, no, come on, man. Come on.”Eli pushed through, fell to his knees on Ethan’s other side. He pressed two fingers to Ethan’s neck, then ripped open Ethan’s shirt. The wound was black around the edges, silver poison already spreading in ugly lines toward his heart.Eli looked at me, eyes wid

Chapter: Chapter 80: Two Against OneRaven’s POV The second my power hit the air, everything exploded.Axel shifted first, bones cracked loudly, and fur ripped through his skin. He came at me as a huge gray wolf, teeth already aiming for my throat.Selene stayed human. She threw her arms out and every forced bonded Omega behind her screamed at once. Their stolen power slammed into my guys.I heard Dante roar and I heard guns go off. Ethan shout my name, but couldn’t look back.Axel crashed hard into me. We hit the concrete and rolled. His jaws snapped an inch from my face. I shoved my forearm into his mouth so he could not close on my neck. He bit my forearm and the pain was terribly sharp. I screamed and he shook his head in happiness. Blood rushed down my forearm.I brought my knee up between his legs with everything I had.He yelped and let go and I scrambled back.Immediately Selene grabbed my hair and yanked my head back. Her other hand glowed bright blue with stolen Omega light. She pressed it to my chest

Chapter: Chapter 79: The HybridRaven’s POV I did not sleep, none of us did.We brought the ten freed Omegas back to the pack house and put them in every spare room we had. Some cried and some stared at the walls. One girl kept rocking and whispering sorry over and over. I sat with her until she passed out from exhaustion.By sunrise, I stood in the kitchen with my hands wrapped around a cold mug, staring at nothing.Ethan walked in first, hair still wet from the shower, wearing only sweatpants. He did not say anything. He just came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my head.I leaned back into him because if I did not I was going to fall apart.Luca came next, laptop under his arm, eyes bloodshot. He sat into a chair and opened it without a word. The screen lit up his face.Dante stormed in five minutes later, shirtless, knuckles already bleeding again. He had been punching the bag in the garage since four a.m. He looked at me, looked at Ethan holding me, and punched t

Chapter: Chapter 78: Selene’s ArmyRaven’s POV The rogues retreated and I took a deep breath. They outnumbered us but we came prepared and when they could no longer match up our strength they vanished. A message came at three in the morning.My phone lit up on the nightstand and the name on the screen made my stomach drop.Selene.I sat up quickly, my heart was already pounding before I opened it.The text was short.Old warehouse district. Midnight tomorrow. Just you and me, little sister. Winner takes every drop of Omega power in your veins. Come alone or I start killing the ones I already own.Attached to the text, was a picture.Ten girls on their knees in a dark room, silver collars around their necks, eyes empty and glowing faint blue. The was the same forced bonds as the previous omegas. My hands shook so hard I almost dropped the phone.Ethan stirred beside me, his arm sliding across my waist even while he was half asleep. “Raven?” His voice was protective instantly. He felt my fear through the bond b
