MasukRaven’s povDax and I were shopping in the mall when Maya walked up to us. “Maya!” I greeted her and embraced her. “You are literally always everywhere,” I told her jokingly. I don't think she even stays at her store, always everywhere but there. “I came to shop a little. You know, no one is there to take care of us. We have to take care of ourselves,” Maya said, of course, she was talking about divorcees.“But I think you already have someone to take care of you,” She said, winking. I caught her staring at Dax who was paying for the things I got. I quickly shook my head. “Ohh no, Maya!” I called out her name in a scolding manner. “We happened to just meet each other. It wasn't planned at all,” I lied. Maya snickered but didn't say anything about that. “Next time you are going shopping, don't forget to tell me so I'll tag along,” She said. As Dax walked up to us, she quickly waved to me and walked away briskly. “Why is that woman always everywhere?” Dax asked.I chuckled so
Dax’s povI rushed to her in concern. “What happened? Raven!” I asked again, holding her arms. When she didn't say anything, I lifted her chin so she could have eye contact with me. “You don't have to worry about anything. I am here for you, okay?” I assured her.She sniffed and quickly cleaned her tears. “Don’t bother about me, Dax. I am fine, please don't worry,” She said, her voice quivering. I shook my head. “You want me to pretend like you weren't crying?”I didn't even know what to say, I have not been in this kind of situation in a very long time. I lifted her and took her to her room. “I’ll make you a beverage. That would calm you,” I told her, and went to prepare something for her. Going to her kitchen, I quickly made her a hot beverage and took it to her room. I handed it over to her and she took a few sips. “I am glad you didn't burn the kitchen,” She said. I chuckled softly. “Wow, you are cracking jokes? I guess the beverage is working already.”“I take it when
Raven’s pov“Raven, there is trouble!”I dropped the bags that were in my hands, my body shivering in fear. “Rokun…”“Rokun! What exactly is wrong?” I asked him in fear. He didn't say anything at first, there was pitch silence which only made me more nervous. “Is it possible for us to see?” I asked again when he didn't say anything. “We cannot see, Raven!”“Marcus is searching for you, everywhere,”My eyes parted in surprise as my fear quickly turned to anger. “And how is that any trouble? He would never find me, Rokun. Why is that bastard searching for me anyway?” I asked angrily.“He put me in charge of finding you in two days, or else, he’ll do something bad. I don't know why he is desperately searching for you. I think he wants you back,” Rokun explained. I bit my lower lip in anger. “That nincompoop! What gave him the audacity to think he would find me?”“I can't even fathom this, I am not going back to him,” I responded with a tone of finality. “I might lose my job, Raven
Marcus pov“The last time she came here, she was crying and pleading for me to take her in but I sent her out,” her mother explained. Her parents were actually more heartless than I thought. “You didn’t tell me about that, darling?” Her dad asked her mom but she told him that she didn’t want to upset him. “What are we going to do now?” Her mom asked me. “Maybe you should try giving her a call? I am sure she would pick up her parents’ call,” I told them. Her mom waved her hands in the air. “Trust me, she will pick up immediately.”I nodded my head, tapping my fingers on the chair slowly. “Why do you need her? I am sure Jade is capable of doing something better than Raven. Jade is the star of the house, such a beautiful and intelligent young lady,” Her father praised her, smiling at her. Maybe it wasn’t a bad idea totally. If Raven could handle everything then I am sure Jade could also do the same. “I totally understand you sir, please still try to reach out to Raven. You know
Marcus’s pov“What is going on?”“Explain this! Where exactly is the money going?” I asked angrily, throwing the files across the room. Sienna quickly rushed beside me. She placed her arms on my shoulders soothingly. “You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll sort it out,” Sienna whispered in my ear. I yanked her arms away. “What nonsense are you spewing? I put you in charge of this and now a large amount of money is missing yet no explanation,” I said angrily. I noticed how Sienna’s face turned to an angry one. I pointed at each one of them in the room. “I give you two days. I need an explanation! Something, else you’ll be ready to be punished,”Not bothering to listen to whatever they had to say, I stormed out of the house. Sienna rushed after me and we both walked into the office. “Calm down, Marcus. You don’t even know anything that is going on in the pack. These people are the ones handling it. You should give them grace after all, they have been the pillar holding the pa
Dax’s pov“I have an explanation Raven,” I told her, as we argued in the hallway. She shook her head. “You don't have any. You almost got the house burnt, that is all I need to hear,” She said. I slapped my hands on my forehead, taking a deep breath dramatically. “What can I do to prove to you?”She shook her head.”I don't need you to burn the building, please,”“Raven, trust me.”I held her arms. “I might not be the best cook but at least I can cook something up. I'll make you a simple meal that you'll love,” I assured her. “I don't know why you are trying to prove a point. But if eventually there is time for that, I'll make sure there is a fire extinguisher around,” Raven said. I could not help but laugh. “That wouldn't be too bad,” I responded. We both talked for a while.“The kids are amazing. They are so disciplined, though they are a bit stubborn but nothing I cannot manage,” she explained.I could see the love in her eyes. Honestly, this made me realise that I hadn't
