||Raven||It was night time and I was confused. After my fiasco with Tyler, I have been hearing things out of the blue… things I couldn’t explain. I felt like my subconscious mind was playing tricks on me. But the voice in my head was vivid. It was clear as if another person was living inside me .., only if I wasn’t crazy.“ You are not crazy, Raven…. Is me … your better half,” The voice reappeared in my head and murmured. My better half??… I was going crazy. This didn’t make sense. Nothing in my head made sense. For the sake of my sanity, I closed all thoughts off and concentrated on getting Daisy to bed…..I tacked her into bed and watched as she dozed off. When I was completely sure she was indeed asleep. I kissed her on the cheek, turned off the light, and slipped out of her room.“ Are you ready for our evening walk ?” Zander's voice started me from behind and I nearly screamed. I slowly nodded and walked inside to get a warm coat, since it was a cold night. We exited the house
||Zander|| Raven’s wolf was beautiful. She stood tall at 12 feet and was radiating with power and grace. Her fur was unique, not like anything I had seen. It was black with hues of blue and green. Around her neck and ankle was a golden ring, which looked like just my Lycan fur. Her gold eyes beamed at me as her wolf leaned into me, muzzling the side of my face. " Our mate is special and her eyes are fucking beautiful. I can’t get enough of them, “ Axel rasped out in a dazed. “ When did you become poetic?” I chuckled, “ have you spoken to her wolf, yet? “ I asked him. “ Yes, her name will make your heart flip, Zander “ he chuckled at his own joke.” She is Athena!” He informed me. "Athena," I tested her name on my lips in a murmur….. She drew back as she heard her name and rubbed her wolfy nose against mine. “ You are Raven Wolf !!” Eros exclaimed, as if he was in some kind of entrance. I had never seen him so mesmerized by anyone, apart from his mate, Allison. Raven wolf ?? What
||Zander||“ Wait, what? Raven is an alpha ?” I asked. I was shocked. She smirked,“ Bravo !! How do you manage to call yourself her mate when you don’t know the most important thing about her” she snarled.“ You are ignorant. Raven didn’t even tell you about her roots. She isn’t just an Alpha because of her father's bloodline, but also her mother. This says a lot…” “ Excuse me? “ my hand boiled and my knuckles turned pale. Raven tried to hold back Glinda, but she stepped away from her. “ I’m beginning to wonder why the moon goddess paired Raven with a douch like you. You are just like her family. Who turned her into a slave? I can’t stand you, asshole !” “ Calm down Glinda, Zander, let’s find a solution to the problem. Raven is nervous it is and your quarrel is making her feel worse. We are not solving anything with all your blabbing.” Eros growled. My face was red with anger. I inhaled and exhaled, glaring at Glinda, before I settled back into my seat and pulled Raven into my l
||Raven||“ I swear to you Raven . The northern witch is one of the good ones . I can vouch for her. I have been working with her for years . She only deals with white magic. “ Glinda ranted out as we walked onto the left wing . Where I have been staying with Zander and Daisy .“ There is no such thing as a good witch “ I replied, with a pointed look . “ Just loyal once , like myself."she sighed, “ please Raven, I can’t live with myself if something happens to you or Jessica, when I know I can do something to help “, she pleaded, and her face turned grey.“ No , Glinda, living with a witch is out of the question. Zander’s pack would be best. My wolf needs to be with people like us “ I bit my lips anxiously, hating the idea of putting my life in the hands of a stranger .“You win, Raven . I am not even going to argue with you, stubborn bitch!” She grumbled.“ You persistent witch!” I resorted.She giggled and threw herself on my bed .“ I’m too tired to lift my own arm and fight with
||Raven||Glinda stayed behind while the rest of us travelled inside the airport and boarded the plane to Orlando. Daisy immediately took the window seat , pointing at the ant-like houses below us. I could see uneasiness on Jessica’s face as she tried to distract herself by playing with a very excited Daisy .I know this was not easy for her as this was our first time on a plane and the agitated feeling of flying in the air would scare the shit out of anyone.Half way through our journey , Zander fell asleep against the window. He was tired . We all were. Travelling from south to north Alaska was not easy.We didn’t have time to rest in between except Daisy, who was comfortable enough to sleep in the car. I secretly wished the window was my shoulder. I wasn’t going to push Zander, she needed time to heal and trust me.Though he didn’t say it out loud, I knew it was a difficult decision he made, going back to the place where he lost everything and had his heart broken . It takes coura
||Zander||I woke up to Daisy curling in between Raven and me. My heart jumped in bliss, for the first time ever, I had a mate to share a bed with and then spend my life with.I had thought I would relive the heartbreak and pain of losing my mate, Rose, when I returned to my pack, but the feeling was the opposite. I felt fulfilled. It felt so good to be home. I was at ease, knowing that I could control the security around the pack ground and protect Raven with the help of my family and pack.I leaned over and kissed Raven on the forehead. She moaned in her sleep, drawing Daisy into her chest. I chuckled and I looked out to see the sun was down and the moon was up. We slept the entire day. I climbed out of bed to shower. After my evening shower, I took the opportunity to head to my office on the ground floor and catch up on some work.When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Theodore had taken care of everything in my absence.As soon as I settled in my chair, I sent
||Raven||I woke up for the second time this morning to Daisy showering my face with kisses. As soon as I opened my eyes, she smiled mischievously.I lifted myself off the bed and kissed her cute little nose.She giggled happily, I turned us over and started tickling her tummy. She laughed so loudly, tearing up.“ Hey love, are you hungry? The pack is about having breakfast. Wanna come down and join us?” Zander’s voice filled my head. The pack?Did he mean the 900 members??“ When you say the pack, how many are we talking about?" He chuckled and had my face flushed.“ I don’t mean the 900 people,“ he said, as if he was reading my mind.“ It’s just the family. The people you met yesterday and Theodore.““ Theodore??”“ Yes, the pack's gamma and also my nephew. “Okay! That can’t be too bad. I can handle his family and two other people.“ Sure that sounds good. I’m very famished." I rubbed my belly. "Do you think you can come around and guide us to the kitchen? “He was silent and ou
||Raven||“ Rogues!!” My muscles tensed at his word. I have heard so much about rogues but I haven’t seen one before. I have heard how deadly they could be. They had no human instinct in them.“ Emily, Raven, it’s not safe, we need to go. “ he grunted, ushering us out. Before we could walk out completely, my eyes met three men whose eyes flashed red. They smirked instantly at the fear that danced in my eyes.We quickly got in the car and the warrior drove us out of the mall's parking lot.On our drive back, there was a lot of tension in the car and Emily was quiet. She was no longer talking and laughing like she had been doing all morning. I could tell how they were affected by this rogue. I almost forgot I used to be one myself, when I left my paternal pack.“ So Theodore, you have a mate?” I asked, in an attempt to distract everyone from the rogues.“ No, not yet. I’m still searching “ “ I think she does not come from any of the packs around here” Emily stated.“ I figured much. “
