RAVEN
I stared at his phone, unable to focus on anything else but the words on his screen.
‘Raven, can we talk? Please, I really need to see you. I get that you are hurt that I walked off but please give me one fucking chance.’
‘Please bitesize, don’t ignore me. We’re mated for a reason, you’re meant for me. Please talk to me.’
‘Just one chance? Five minutes of your time. I'll show you what you mean to me, please. That’s all I'm asking for. I don’t want to do something I regret, if after this you want me to leave, I will.’
I never got those messages… Fuck, I never got those messages…
I ran my hand through my hair, barely registering Damon’s hand on my shoulder.
I looked between them, trying to focus before turning to Liam.
"I didn’t get them, I swear, I never received them." I said truthfully.
He seemed uncertain, but he should kn
RAVEN Well, I disobeyed him and took twenty minutes, since I decided to shower and change into something a little less body shaping. Pulling on some tan-coloured leggings, a sports bra and a tan oversized off-shoulder top. There, now I look like a Raven Potato. This is good; no intense stares from guys trying to look at my smaller potatoes… I cupped my boobies. Yes, they were small, yet they were nice and rounded, they weren’t flat either. Maybe they weren’t anything like Aunty Red’s and Kiara's, but they would do. My little cutesy boobies... I quickly applied some moisturiser to my face and left my wet hair open, making my way out of my room, locking my door behind me and knocking on Liam’s. He didn’t answer, so I tried the handle. It opened and I stepped inside, instantly hit by Liam’s seductive scent of roasted walnuts, honey and that underlying intoxicating note mixed with expensive cologne and leather. Trying not to focus on the fact that I was i
RAVENSlowly, I kissed him back. My heart was pounding as my body involuntarily arched into him.A delicious sexy groan escaped his lips, sending another shiver of pleasure through me. My arm snaked around his neck, my fingers brushing the short hair at the back of his head.The feel of his lips, the taste of his mouth, everything was just perfect. Suddenly, I was flipped onto my back and he was straddling me. My heart thumped, yet I couldn’t stop kissing him.Kissing Liam was something I had wanted since I was a teen and goddess… A drunk Liam’s kiss was good, but this one…This was where I belonged.This felt so right. We felt so right.I moaned softly into his lips. His caress became more dominating, and rougher, as he plunged his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch. I played with the tip of his tongue with mine, both moving in perfect sync, gasping as the pleasure coursed through me when he sucked o
RAVEN I hadn’t seen Rayhan in a while and I was super curious to see Delsanra. Everyone said she was really gorgeous, not to mention Dante was crazy over her. Liam sat up answering it as he held his phone in front of him to reveal a shirtless Rayhan. From the look of his wet hair, it was clear he had just showered. "Liam, hey Raven." He said, giving me a small smile. "Rayhan," Liam said emotionlessly, that mask that had lowered a little was back up. I had a feeling Rayhan knew we were mates because that knowing smirk, which he was now giving Liam, kind of gave that away. "How are you and your family?" Liam asked. "Good." Rayhan said, but despite that smile, the sadness in his eyes pulled at my own heartstrings. Alpha Rafael… "Kitten… come here." Rayhan said, turning away. Oo I wanted to see his pretty kitten! I waited for Delsanra to come into view and soon she did. She was gorgeous. Her skin was
RAVENDespite my beating heart, I cupped his face, feeling those sparks course through me at our touch."Then, I’m going to be right by your side. We are going to figure this out, I'm sure Grandma Amelia gave you that book for a reason." I said softly yet firmly, biting my lip when he grabbed my hips, yanking me against him. His eyes returned to normal as he frowned deeply."You’re probably right." He said quietly.Letting go of me, he grabbed the book and was about to read it when he swore."Fuck, I got to go..." He said, standing up."What is it?" I asked nervously.Was it another killing?"Zack may have found something; stay here; I’ll be back.""Ok, I’ll read the book until you come back. See if I can figure something out." I replied."Sure." He leaned down, placing a chaste kiss on my forehead, just the way he used to years ago. Our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat and he gave me a sm
LIAM We thought we had a fucking lead, but the rain fucking washed it away. By the way the marks were left along the far side, it was clear a body had been dragged along the northern side of the forest. What fucking confused me was that it was almost as if the person knew exactly what angles the cameras were positioned at. Which made me even more pissed off. It meant there was a high chance that the killer was on the inside of the IT or surveillance department. I had told Zack and Damon that I wanted to question every fucking person again, but they had been against it. I was fucking tired of being told how to run my pack. Coming back to my room, seeing Raven sitting there in my bed telling me how I might not even live past the next fucking blood moon was the fucking icing on the damn cake. If that were the fucking case, then what was the point of all this? What was the point of hurting her by keeping her around me? What was the point of keeping a good
RAVEN "This isn’t what it looks like!" I squeaked, pushing Liam off roughly, my eyes falling to his hard-on. Goddess, kill me now! Let the earth open up and swallow me whole! Is this karma for all the times I’ve seen Uncle El and Aunty Red making out and made fun of them! We both got to our feet and Liam quickly sat down on the bed, grabbing the duvet and pulling it onto the bed before very smoothly draping it over his lap. I stood there staring at Aunty Red, who was smirking despite the clear confusion in her eyes. She crossed her arms under her big plushies and looked between us. I knew she could smell Liam in my room, which meant she knew he had been here for a while… "So… I guess I disturbed you guys." She said, clearing her throat. No matter how smooth she was behaving, she was clearly surprised. She now looked at her son, who was running his fingers through his messy locks. That just made him look so sexy... His chiselled
RAVEN "Well first of all, you all acted stupidly. I’ll start with that idiot of mine." She shook her head. "I get that he doesn’t want to share. Then, instead of running away, he should have stayed here and come up with a solution, but he’s always been the passive one… Even when they were younger and both he and Kiara wanted something, he’d let her have it. I guess in this situation, he couldn’t really just give you up but also didn’t want to cause damage, and so he left. I personally think seeing that you two didn’t even move on probably just confused him even more, and he now thinks Damon has lost his chance so has decided he will take what he wants. What irritates me is that you aren’t an item." I remember Liam saying; ‘you two can do whatever you want’. That’s a good point. He did give us a chance in a way… Even if it was in anger and bitterness. "Damon, his heart is in the right place, but by playing the lenient passive one he’s giving both you and Liam
RAVEN I pushed open the low white fence that surrounded the graveyard. Not all children were buried here, as some would be buried with their parents, but there were still many graves. It was strange to know that I had a brother that I had never gotten to meet. I looked down at the grass that was sprinkled with daisies and buttercups. Scattered between the small graves were several cherry blossoms. I walked through the graves, scanning the names for my brothers, stopping when I saw a young woman bending over, placing an orchid on each grave. She turned, sensing me watching her, and gave me a small smile. It took me a moment to realise she was the Omega who I had seen in the kitchen the other night. "Sorry…" She said, stepping away from the grave. I waved my hand. "Oh, don’t apologise! I'm just searching for a grave…" I said, giving her a small smile. "Whose?" She asked. "I might know, I visit often." "Oh… Renji Jacobs."
