Raven’s POV

Now’s my chance. I slowly ease the door open and tiptoe across the hallway, opening the door to Hade’s study with a slight creaking noise and walk in, shutting the door behind me and locking it. He looks up sharply, “What are you doing in here?”

His expression is like granite. I'm not cowed or intimidated. It's just an act. A way to convince me to leave, and it's not going to work.

“I wanted to thank you for my dress,” I breathed, sauntering forward, my hand lightly trailing across

    Hades POV“Fuck,” I roared, slamming my hand down on the dining table and causing a large crack to appear down the middle.I’d made a mess of things as usual. Aeress was unsympathetic. “You botched that up. How could you treat Raven like this? That girl loves you, and you just broke her heart! Do you have any idea just how much you’ve hurt her?” she demanded icily, looking as though she wanted to tear me from limb to limb.I was tempted to let her. That’s how guilty I was feeling. I had botched everything up, from the marriage proposal to now this. I had no idea what I had been thinking of to broach either subject like this. I was an idiot. A moron. A bastard. I'd let my fears come over me and spoken without consideration for what Raven wanted. “I wasn’t…that is...” I trailed off and slumped down into a chair, “I didn’t mean to,” I muttered.Except I had. But how was I going to explain that to Aeress, who looked like she was on the verge of murdering me?“Really?” Aeress snarled, “Be

    Raven POVA week later.“Jesus Christ,” Aeress exclaimed as I came trudging out in the early afternoon, hungry and my eyes filled with dark circles, “what the fuck did you do last night?” She paused, “actually you don’t need to tell me. You’re practically glowing with all the sex you had last night," she teased, a playful smirk on her face, "not to mention all this week."I coughed, sitting at the table and gratefully accepting a mug of coffee from a kind-hearted omega, “I don’t think you want to know all the details about your brother’s sex life, Aeress.” My voice was slightly hoarse.She waved a hand, nodding in agreement. Hades came sauntering in, a wide grin on his face, looking pleased with himself, looking remarkably cheerful, whereas I felt like a truck had run over me twice.“Hades,” Aeress scolded, “look how tired Raven is. You kept her up all night. Gods, everybody heard you both,” she added as I almost spat out my coffee, “you really should soundproof your room. Especially

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 80: On The Horizon

    Raven POVI wasn’t too surprised when Hades and the men failed to recover Marissa. She’d had a head start, and her wolf was fast, even as weak as it was in comparison to mine. I ran my hands up and down Hades bare chest, trying to make him relax, soothing him. He was still seething. Men and their pride, I thought inwardly, there was nothing worse than when they thought somebody had made a fool out of them. “We’ll get her next time.”My voice was gentle, sweet. No amount of what-ifs was going to change the result. Marissa was gone, and now we had to find a way to deal with that. Right now, we have to focus on what matters and the pack itself. Marissa was a nuiscance, but she was no longer here to cause trouble. If there was a next time. Marissa might be smarter than I gave her credit for and stay away from us completely, letting us lead a life in peace, but it was doubtful. Her hatred was too strong for that. “In the meantime, what did you think about Aeress’s news?” I asked brightl

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 79: Plotting

    Third Person POVShe tore through the trees, leaping gracefully to avoid broken twigs, paws thudding loudly on the ground, her entire focus on the boundary line. Never before had Marissa been so grateful to be a white wolf. Her speed and agility were certainly coming in handy. She felt a flash of fury at the image of Raven’s wolf in her mind. What right did that bitch have to be granted a wolf and a white wolf at that? Hers was bigger than Marissa’s and stronger. It made her feel so enraged that she could feel her heart beating furiously in her chest. God, how she hated that bitch. She’d stolen Marissa’s fiancée, the man she loved. The man she thought she would have children with. Sure, Marissa had wanted wealth and power in the beginning but now she wanted Hades for herself as well. He was so handsome, so strong, so…everything she’d ever wanted. She had envisioned a future with him, no matter how cold he had been to her, and now it was going to amount to nothing and it was all becaus

    Raven POV“Damn that bitch,” Aeress sighed, flopping onto the sofa and looking moodily at me, “maybe she’ll get trapped in a bear trap or something,” she muttered.I laughed despite my concern. It was just like Aeress to lift my mood.“They’ll find her. I don’t know why Hades insisted I stay here. I could help. I could take her,” I said irritably, plopping myself on the opposite sofa.He was so protective. It was nice to have somebody who cared that much, but I wasn't exactly made of glass. Then again, I had only shifted once, so maybe it was necessary in order to conserve my strength.“Men,” Aeress sighed, “they act like it’s the Middle Ages and women are useless. It’s like a caveman instinct or something,” she beat on her chest with both hands, “me Jackson, me Hades. Me so smart,” she drawled, causing both of us to dissolve into giggles.Suddenly Aeress’s face changed, and she got up, putting a hand to her mouth and making gagging noises. I hurried after her as she almost ran to the

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 77: Burnt

    Hades POVShe’s glorious. I’ve never seen such a pure-looking white wolf before, let alone one that’s as big as an Alpha wolf. She almost towers over me. Lucifer is enamoured. Marissa is safely ensconced in the dungeon while we work out what to do with each other. Aeress is beaming widely, clapping her hands together excitedly as she turns to me.“Finally, you’ve seen sense,” she exclaims, glancing between me and Raven, “you have good taste. I thought you were going to marry that damn harpy,” she scowled, “and live a life of misery and no doubt like a monk if Lucifer had anything to do with it. Oh,” she shrieked as I winced and Raven giggled, “I’m so happy I could cry.”She was being melodramatic as usual. But that was Aeress. She’d always been a bit overexuberant.“Enough Aeress,” I rubbed my chin, “okay, you were right. I was wrong, is that what you wanted to hear?” I said a little snarly.I hated to admit she was right. It stung. My pride was broken, but it didn't matter to me. Onl

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 40: Sixth Sense

    Raven POVI’m not sure what woke me up in the middle of the night, despite being exhausted when I crawled into bed to get to sleep. Maybe it was the quietness of the room and the absence of Marissa’s snores despite the lateness of the hour. Maybe it was the dryness of my mouth and the sudden overwh

He turned, a scowl on his face. “Bitch, you got lucky,” he sneered.I raised a brow and waited. Sure enough, he stepped closer and threw out
