LOGINRaven POV“Alpha Drake’s dead.”Words I never expected to hear came from my brother as he sat down on the couch and took hold of my hand, stroking it lightly as though I was some sort of fragile doll that needed protecting. I sat there in silence, looking thoughtful. My father spoke quietly, “We think you might be safer back in our pack, instead of here.”The protective father. I appreciated the gesture but knew that my mate would not go for it. Naturally, Hades took offense. “Are you implying I can’t keep my own mate safe?” he growled.I could feel the anger rolling off of him, his expression turning dark, even as he tried to control it, not wanting to upset the family members that had grown so important to me.Alpha Daxton put up a hand, shaking his head at my fiancée, his eyes narrowed. “That’s not it, but at least there, we could keep a close eye on her, and she would have family around her. Family that cares and loves her,” he added warmly, “not to mention that she’s pregnant a
Third Person POV“Oh, oh, oh,” she moaned, throwing her head back, feeling the force of his thrusts, her body moving eagerly in tandem with his, her arms holding tightly to his own.Bastard had been eager to fuck her. So eager that he hadn’t even bothered to leave the cell. MaryAnne couldn’t believe her luck. She welcomed his intrusion, her eyes sliding towards the corner of the mattress where she had placed the syringe. He was getting faster now, a sure sign that his relief would come sooner or later. Just a matter of time, and if being trapped in this pack had taught her anything, it was to be patient.It wouldn't be long now, and she would finally be free of this dreadful place. Free of the constant torment and cruelty that Alpha Drake provided daily. Free of the emotional abuse that he dished out, making her feel like a damn puppet, a useless whore. “Don’t make me punish you again, my luna slut,” he growled, his muscles straining as he moved, the Alpha glaring down at her as thou
Hades POVFor a moment, I’m in shock. In a state of disbelief, I look at Raven and see the fear in her eyes, the fear she’d plainly been trying to hide until now. My hand rests on her still flat stomach, and something comes over me. Something unexpected. Excitement. I can practically envision what a daughter of ours will look like, the same raven black hair, the same beautiful green eyes as my mate. Our son would also be just as beautiful. I swallowed hard, my mouth going dry, and then I grabbed her by the back of her neck, pulling her towards me and kiss her fiercely, unable to hide the joy I’m feeling.It's like all my reservatiosn have suddenly just faded away in the excitement. The fear was still there, but not as present now. “You’re pregnant,” I breathed when we pulled back, my wolf Lucifer squirming with delight, “you’re carrying my pup.”“I’m carrying your pup,” she laughs with twinkling eyes, “are you sure you don’t mind?” She bites her lip and looks adorably up at me.God,
Raven POVI sat down at the edge of the cliff face, my legs kicking back and forth in frustration, the wind caressing my naked body. I sigh, lifting my face up, feeling betrayed and more hurt beyond words. Hades didn’t want a child with me. I wasn’t even sure if he wanted to be married or if he felt obligated because we had marked each other. I was confused, unable to hide the emotions I was experiencing, my whole mind in turmoil. I felt as though everything was topsy-turvy and that my whole world had come down crashing all around me. I was lost. I was broken. I was so miserable that all I could think about was running away and going to my brother and father’s pack, if only to feel their arms around me and to hear them tell me everything was going to be okay. I was emotional and beyond rational. Unlike Luna, who was trying to explain away Hades' decision as though he hadn't just broken both of our hearts. I’m sure that Hades had a reason, Luna whispered, although she, too, was badly
Third Person POV“You have a visitor,” the guard spoke quietly, hands folded in front of him.He looked bored, disinterested. Like this was just like any other day for him, and it probably was. MaryAnne looked up in surprise. She was locked in a cell, her clothes rumpled, her hair dishevelled, and her body curled up in a fetal position on a threadbare mattress. The visitor stepped forward, pulling back the hood of their cloak, and MaryAnne gasped, scrambling to her feet and moving closer to the bars, holding onto them as she looked at her daughter with shock.She was the last person MaryAnne thought she would ever see. “You only have a few minutes,” the guard advised, looking around, “make it quick.”He sounded nervous, thought MaryAnne, slightly bemused. She doubted that the guard or Marissa had permission to be here. This meant Marissa had bribed him to get to MaryAnne. That was a good sign. It also meant MaryAnne hadn't discovered it yet. The secret. The one MaryAnne kept close t
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 POVHe kisses me, hard, unyielding. My lips part and he slides his tongue inside, even as his hand lightly caresses my side. When he pulls away, I’m panting. He moves for a moment and I frown, perplexed and then I feel it as it lightly grazes my nipple, causing me to jerk on the bed. Ice. It’
Raven POVI barely have time to swipe the keycard and step into my hotel room when he bursts inside, kicking the door behind him. I smile inwardly. Thank you, Damien. My plan had worked. Hades was bursting with jealousy at seeing me with another man, even if he didn’t know that man had been my own
Raven POV“Alpha Drake,” she whispers, her voice shaking, “what are you doing here?”He gives her a long, considering look before opening his mouth to speak. “Well, you see,” he leans forward, his lips almost touching hers, “I’ve decided to make you, my Luna. You’re going to bear an heir for me.”“
Raven POV“Jesus Christ, my brother’s face is like a thundercloud,” Aeress whispered, as we walked towards the Shadow Pack house, her eyes wide, “what on earth did you do to him?”I shrug, acting casual, “nothing. He’s been more than,” I paused, “hospitable. Maybe he's a little under the weather or
