Raven POV

“I want you to come check out the perimeter with me. There have been sightings of rogues, and I need to make sure they aren’t trespassing on my territory. The consequences could be dire."

Marissa’s dumbstruck. Hades isn’t addressing Jackson, but her. She is uneasy, shifting awkwardly on her seat. “Isn’t that a job for your men and um,” she coughed, “your Beta?”

Her voice is faint.

Hades gives a twisted smile. “As my future Luna, you need to become familiar with the territory and the

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 85: Reservations

    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,

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 84: Vulnerable

    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

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 83: Puppet

    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

  • Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha   Chapter 82: Broken

    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

    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’

You’re going to bear an heir for me.”“

He’s been more than,” I paused, “hospitable. Maybe he's a little under the weather or
