-Raven POV
I had barely made a whimper when Asher's gruff voice got me, "Come here, mate.”
The hint of alpha command that lashed at my skin had me stepping forward and then bending over to remove my underwear.
He watched my body move, my breasts sway, with the kind of rapt attention I’d never found in another partner, not until now. Rowan prowled closer; his deep brown eyes stared into mine as I moved, and then they dropped down to my bare pussy.
“You can move now,” he prompted, turning the page. “Just lower yourself down slowly. There, hold that pose for just a second.” Ansel shuffled closer, drawing with startling accuracy the curve of my parted thighs, the complicated jumble of my folds and Asher’s mouth straining to get to me.
I couldn’t hold the pose for long.
“Fuck, you’re dripping."
His hands shot up, no matter what Rowan wanted, and Asher pulled me down onto his face, his tongue. It felt like that wet, mobile length speared straight into me, making me shiver.
“Oh god…” I whimpered, knowing the first orgasm wouldn’t take long. I slapped my hands down on the edge of the couch, right above Asher’s head, and let him go to work.
“Fuck,” Rowan hissed.
“You look like a goddess right now.”
And that made me smile, a kind of pleasure-pain smile, halfway between ecstasy and sweet agony. My thighs trembled, despite Ansel's grip, but I couldn’t seem to pull away.
He slurped and sucked, thrusting his tongue in and out of me as if needing to lick up every drop of my slick. His violent actions forced his nose to bump against my clit over and over, making my fingers bite down, the velvet and foam upholstery giving beneath them.
“Oh… gosh…” I panted. “Feels so good.” I began to grind on his face then, earning me muffled groans of approval. “You’re going to make me cum doing just that.”
I opened my eyes to see Rowan smacking my butt staring intensely at us.
He dropped to his knees, then crawled closer, his head level with my breasts, my thrusts getting more violent, wanting my nipples to brush against his parted lips.
“Asher!” I yelped as long fingers were pushed inside me, his lips transferring to my clit, and then I was gone.
Rowan watched me come apart, my thrusts growing sloppy and truncated, more spasms than me intentionally working my cunt across Asher's face. I didn’t need to strive to cum, it just happened, sweet and natural as breathing.
My spine straightened, and every muscle tensed as it rushed through me. I was always going to feel enhanced pleasure due to being in a frenzy.
My mates, my love, mine. His boxers were jerked off, and there he was, hard and ready.
“Is that for me?” I asked, sliding my eyes down his length as I bent over the couch. "I need it.”
“Yeah?” There was some of his cockiness there, but that wasn’t all.
“You can fuck me harder than an alpha can and go deeper,” I said as he came closer, his hands resting on my hips. “And I need that.”
I was definitely out of my mind to say something this crazy.
A little hiss, that was what I got in response, then my thighs were pushed wider, the feel of the crown of his cock brushing against my wet seam.
“You gonna eat my cum out of my girl when I’m done?” he asked Rowan. “She’s needy today—I can feel it. Makes my balls ache, dying to give her what she needs.”
“I think you’ll find I’m amenable to pretty much anything you suggest.” Rowan's words were polite and conciliatory, while his tone was anything but. I smiled at the feral edge of it. “Tell me what you need. You are so beautiful together, but I can’t help but want to insert myself between you.”
“Not yet,” Asher rumbled, right as he drove himself into me. My head hung down at that, feeling something delicious roll from head to toe. “I know you need her too. I can taste that in the air, but…” He groaned as he thrust deep, then pulled back, only to slam deeper again.
“She has so much to give to those that are worthy.” he smiled cunningly.
“Is that right, mate?” Rowan asked me, sliding now until he sat beside the couch, staring up at me as Asher fucked me.
Rowan’s fingers reached out, finding my clit and then rubbing it in an entirely distracting way. Asher seemed to find my moans some kind of incitement, driving me faster and faster.
“Yes…” I moaned. “Yes…” To this, to freedom. “Yes…” To us.
“Fuck, our mate tastes so good,” Asher ground out between gritted teeth. “It’s the only time I feel like I’m physically as close to you as my heart is.” His hands clawed at me as he surged forward.
He held me then, scooping me up into his arms, even as he rutted inside me, and Rowan's hand fell away, seeming to know that this moment was ours. Then right as Asher held me brutally tight, we exploded.
I felt the hot blasts of his cum as my cunt seemed to snap down to try and wring every drop out of him. I needed him just as much as he needed me, and we gave everything to each other until there was nothing left to give.
Pulling apart from Asher was somewhat difficult. It felt wrong, and he seemed to know that. He rubbed circles on my back, soothing me through it as his cock finally pulled free.
“Time to step in, brother,” he prompted gently.
“She’s feeling raw, and this is why I know this is right.”
A faint whistle through the air was all the warning I got before crack! Rowan’s hand smacked down on my arse, and for a moment, all I could do was fight to take another breath.
My mind went into riot, primitive fight or flight instincts kicking into gear, pumping me full of endorphins and adrenaline as my lizard brain tried to work out what the hell to do, but my body had no such qualms.
My thighs spread wide, feeling the hot stinging flush of blood all over my butt and wanting to redirect it somewhere else.
“Are you spreading your legs for me like a perfect slut, trying to get me to spank your cunt and not your arse?”
Slut. That word hit a little differently than the others, so I should’ve said something, but I was too swept up in what was happening to do that right now. I spread my thighs wider, feeling the joints in my hips strain to maintain the stance.
“You little brat…” he rumbled. “Did I tell you to spread your legs?”
"No," I mumbled.
“So how did you know that was exactly what I wanted?” His voice was silken, dark and twining around me, pulling me tight everywhere. “I’m going to spank you ten times all across your impudent little cunt, and I think you’re going to find you’ll get more than you bargained for. Count them for me.”
“Yes.”
The first smack was everything I wanted and a whole lot more, as he expertly aimed his hand so it landed across my entire seam and clit. Rather than be teased or prodded to feel good, sensation exploded, and with it went my breath.
“Count them, my slut, or you’ll get ten more.”
“One,” I croaked out.
Before I could collect myself and process what I was feeling, another smack landed on my skin.
What had been a pleasantly warm flush was becoming hotter, spikier. I shifted and whined, trying to find my thoughts on what this was like, but I wasn’t given a chance to do that.
“Go on?”
“Two.”
Another smack, then another, and my clit was beginning to throb now in a way that threatened to consume my mind. It was so…present, pulsing sulkily, but was that pleasure or pain? There was no introspection to be had here, and that was the point.
Rowan smacked me over and over, forcing me to count them out, and at first, my mind rebelled. It wanted to dissect and analyse, it wanted to rationalise and theorise, but there was no place for that here, only feeling. When I got to the point where I realised that, when I gave up and finally surrendered, it happened.
I was aware of my body in ways that were difficult to replicate, all the sensory information my nerves had been screaming at me rushing in.
The way my body felt hot, way too hot. The way I could feel every pulse of my heart. The tension in my arms, the lax fall of my legs, but most of all, it was the dark flower of pleasure and pain blossoming inside me.
When he was done, when I counted out the last smack, when his hand slipped between my legs and found me dripping, I let out the most horrific sound. I was feeling, and that groan spoke as eloquently as I could about it. His fingers were gentle now, sliding between my folds until they were slick and then pushing in.
And just like
that, they took me one after the other driving me to ecstasy and fucking me breathlessly that I was already so sore
Raven POV I've always read romance stories of wolves who marry their fated mate, walking hand in hand with each other, laughing together and whispering sweet nothings in each other's ear. But never did I think that mine would be triplets who only care about nothing but: what's between my legs.The memories of the night flooded my mind and I gave way to a low growl as I recall how each of them pounced on me, claiming my virginity. Remembering the sweet tales my mother used to tell me about the first night with a fated mate, the gentle touch and soft caresses, the warmth of each other's presence made a smirk form on my lips but the events of the night crashed against those fantasies like a cold wave. My skin prickled with unease because of the shock holding me. I tried to get up from bed, but my legs felt numb; feeling as though my muscles were crushed. I stumbled, catching myself on the bed frame. “This is not the life I wanted,” I murmured to myself, feeling a mix of pain, ange
Ansel's POVHer lips were trembling, fear etching all over her but I couldn't help but smile. I could hear the rapid beat of her heart, matching the pounding going on in my chest. Her eyes showed evident fear as she took a step back, but I wasn't here to cajole her. I'm never going to allow any she-wolf to treat me like shit. Asher's gaze narrowed, he gritted his teeth and reached for Raven, taking her hands in his.Asher's desire to protect her was clear. He has always been free-spirited, willing to give anybody their space but I didn't budge. Raven's gleaming eyes full of defiance were enough proof that she wasn't as innocent as she looked.And I refuse to be caught off guard.I threw some training pants which I had brought with me, recalling she came here with nothing. “Quickly, change to this! We don't have all day.” I said, boring my gaze onto her.“In this pack, you must be strong to protect yourself and as our mate, you are not allowed to be weakling. I voiced out.” venom d
Raven POVI stood rooted on the spot, my heart pounding on my chest as the guard broke the news about their father. Their faces fell, etched with concern as they exchanged worried glances, brows furrowed. Without delay, they scurried off with a sense of urgency, their footsteps, quick and urgent.The air was charged with tension. Guards and maids rushed past me, their footsteps pounding on the ground and echoing through the stillness. The eerie silence that followed only confirmed to me that something was wrong.“Did their father die?”I hurried forward to see for myself but crashed on the ground, hitting the floor with full force. Pain reverberated through me as I glanced at the fresh bruises on my wrists and knees_ Ansel's tight grip had left its mark. For a moment, I lay there, overwhelmed by anguish.“Why was I concerned about their welfare when all they've shown me is wickedness?” I muttered to myself. I couldn't care less.I scrambled up, supporting myself with my hands rest
Rowen POVWhen I stepped into the king’s chamber, I was immediately hit by the familiar scent of his wolf. But there was another scent now,, something more ancient lingered—the scent of the curse. It was growing stronger.My father, once a fearless warrior, now lay weak, his strength slipping away, his hair now completely white, a sign his power was slipping away from him. The sight of him like this sent a sharp pain through my chest.Dropping to my knees beside his bed,. “Father…” my voice was barely above a whisper.My brothers, Ansel and Asher, knelt beside me, their expressions a mirror of my own pain.He gave us a weary smile, his voice hoarse. “My sons… I’m sorry you have to see me like this. I am trying to hold on, but I grow weaker by the day. I can barely even hear my wolf speak anymore…”Fear shot through my body like lightning making me feel sick. Even Ansel sucked in a sharp breath.We all knew what it meant when a werewolf began losing connection with his wolf. And it was
Raven's POVI struggled against their grip, my heels scraping against the cold, hard ground as they dragged me forward. Stones and pebbles dug into my heels. I hissed, biting down on my lip to keep from making a sound.They weren’t even trying to be gentle.Bastards.“Let me go!” I pleaded again, twisting my wrists, trying to break free, but their hands were like iron shackles around my wrist.The taller guard, his face twisted in a permanent scowl, snorted. “Shut up. Be glad we’re being civil with you.”“Civil?” I barked out a bitter laugh, my chest heaving with anger. “You call this civil?”The shorter one, his grip tightening painfully, leaned down just enough for his breath to brush against my ear. “Trust me, outsider, you don’t want to see what uncivil looks like.”A shiver ran down my spine, but I refused to let them see fear in my eyes.We walked further and further away from the place where my mates had left me, confusion and fear twisting in my chest. My vision blurred as tear
Raven's POVI don’t know how long I’ve been here anymore. The days blur together, each one identical to the last.We are given stale bread three times and day and only allowed to bathe thrice a week.There is no sunlight, no warmth, just cold stone and the scent of decay.I’ve lost weight. A lot of it. My petite figure is now leaner and weaker. I chopped my hair off in a desperate attempt to regain some control.In the beginning, I tried keeping track of time, scratching lines into the wall with a dull knife I found in the corner of my cell. I think I lasted three days before I lost count.Ara, my wolf, has been silent for days.I should be expecting my third loaf of stale bread for the day, but instead, the scent that drifts toward me makes my mouth water. Steak.Rich, seasoned steak. Moon Goddess, the steak smells heavenlyI swallow hard.But what if the steak was poisoned? I hesitated, bringing it close to my nose and sniffing cautiously. It smelled divine, rich and well-seasoned,
Ansel's POVWe had been searching for days, but there was still no sign of her.After we met with Father, we ran back to where we’d last left her, only to realize our mistake almost immediately. We left our mate unmarked in a territory on the brink of war. She could be dead. Or maybe—the bitch managed to survive and ran back to her pack.A low growl rumbled in my chest at the thought.If I saw her again, I’d kill her myself for leaving just like that.Who does she think she is? Defying me and my brothers as if she had a choice. I am an Alpha. Her mate. She belongs to us, and the sooner she understands that, the better.But right now, we had bigger concerns than chasing after some dumb, disloyal wolf.I should have paid more attention when she spoke about her pack, but honestly, why would I? It doesn’t matter where she comes from. Her place is with us.Asher burst into my office, his fury rolling off him in waves. His wolf had been restless since she left, and frankly, so had mine.“An
Raven's POVCaleb told me to meet him behind the guardhouse once I was let out. I don’t know where that is, but I’ll figure it out, I just need to stay alert.Two days passed faster than I expected, and I’m grateful for that. I’ve been counting the hours, desperate to be free. Locking up a wolf is the worst thing you can do to our kind.The guard who comes to release me doesn’t bother with gentleness. He yanks me forward, his grip tight enough to leave bruises. I grit my teeth but don’t fight back; I can’t fight back; I don’t have the strength.Stepping outside, I take in my surroundings. There are other prisoners, just as battered and restless as I am, some of them looking scary. Guards stand scattered around, but none of them are watching us. It’s not carelessness, they just know we have no chance of escape.Outside the yard, there’s only one building. It has to be the guardhouse.Keeping my steps slow and careful, I move toward the back of the building, doing my best not to draw a
Raven's POV I was still in a state of shock when Kelvin strolled into the room, completely unfazed by the bodies at his feet. He walked over them like they were nothing like he’d seen this kind of carnage a thousand times before, and he probably had.He wore that infuriating smirk again, the one I was beginning to realize was just part of his face. Part of his behavior.“Your Highness,” he greeted Morgan with a bow. Then his gaze slid towards me. “Oh, the little queen is here. Lovely to see you, Raven.”I rolled my eyes, refusing to give him the reaction he wanted. The urge to punch that smug face of his clawed at me, but I held it down. Barely.God, if I ever got the chance, I’d kill them both. Rip them apart and bathe in their blood if that’s what it took.I felt my wolf stir inside me, a low growl vibrating through my chest.She didn’t like being separated from our mates, caged like that. And these two were responsible. Again.Twice now, they’d taken me from the ones I belonged t
Queen Gwen POVIt’s been three days since the battle.Three days since blood painted the earth and death hung heavy in the air—on both sides.It hurt to kill them. Those creatures… they were mindless, controlled by Kelvin and that cursed Queen. They were puppets, not monsters. But it was either them or us.And still… we lost.We fell for their diversion. We lost Raven.I’ve been trying—truly trying—to stay strong. I’m a queen. I’m supposed to be composed, logical, unshaken.But the thought of something happening to her…It chills me in a way I can’t explain.From the moment I first laid eyes on Raven, I knew.I don’t understand the feeling, not fully but I knew. I was meant to be near her. To protect her. To fight for her.I was meant to be her sword.And I let her down.“Hey… are you okay?” Loira asked gently, walking up beside me.I tried to force a smile. “Yeah. I’m just… sad, you know?” My voice cracked. “It feels like we were so stupid.”She said nothing, just listened.“She shou
Raven POV “What did you say, Raven?” she asked again, her voice low and skeptical.“I said I’ll join you, Morgan,” I repeated, steadying my voice. “But only on one condition.”She sighed as though she was enduring a headache. “And what is it now?”“You’ll release Mathias.”Her brows lifted. “Who?”Of course, she doesn’t even remember. The disgust rose sharp and hot in my chest, but I swallowed it. I was in enemy territory now. I had to play this smart.“Mathias is one of the prisoners. He was in the same cell I was thrown into.”“Oh,” she said with a chuckle. “That’s all?” Fine. I’ll have him released today.”“And—”She cut me a glare, her patience thinning. “And what?”“You’ll give me the dagger. I need it.”Morgan narrowed her eyes. “I’ll think about it. "Don’t push your luck, little bird.”She turned away, already done with the conversation. “When Kelvin returns, your real training begins. I’ll need you ready.”"But aren’t you scared, Morgan?” I asked, my gaze steady.“What?” she
Raven POV We walked out of the cell, the heavy door slamming shut behind me with a loud clang that echoed down the stone halls.I tried to ignore the gnawing feeling in my stomach, tried to shove the fear deep down where it couldn’t reach me — but it was there, crawling under my skin.Facing that beautiful monster again made my heart pound harder against my ribs.We moved through a large hallway, the stone walls cold and silent witnesses to my march.From what I could tell, it was already dawn — soft light trickled through high windows.Two days.I had been trapped here for nearly two days without food.My legs ached, and my body screamed for rest, but I forced myself forward, step after heavy step.Finally, we entered a large throne room.At the far end of it, sitting on a towering, jagged throne of black stone, was Morgan.She looked… magnificent.Beautiful and terrible, like something carved from nightmares.Her smile, slow and cold, made my skin crawl.I paused, instinctively gla
Raven POV Unluckily for me, I was thrown into a cell by Queen Morgan’s hounds.The heavy iron door slammed shut behind me with a sound that echoed like a death knell. I stumbled forward, catching myself on the rough stone wall.I turned around slowly, trying to assess the cell.I’ve been locked up more times than I can count.This wasn’t new.I wouldn’t panic. Panic was the enemy now.First thing first, I needed a way out.But gods, it was dark.The air was thick with rot and something far worse—a sour, metallic scent that made my stomach turn. The walls oozed dampness, and the floor was uneven under my boots. The whole place felt like it had been forgotten by the world.Squinting my eyes, I edged deeper into the cell, ignoring the way the shadows seemed to reach for me.And then I heard a faint cough.It was soft and strained. From somewhere in the darkness.I froze, my heart hammering against my ribs.“Is anybody there?”My voice barely rose above a whisper, but in the stillness,
Ansel POV Raven is the child of the prophecy.And they kept it from us.Rowan and Raven both knew, and yet they chose silence. I don’t know what game the goddess is playing—first binding us all to the same mate, now tying her fate to an ancient prophecy—but I’m sick of being left in the dark. I should’ve seen the signs. The dreams she said she had, the divine visitations… they were all there, and I ignored them.And now, the truth burns in my chest like fire.My son—our child— will carry power in his blood. A legacy. He will be everything. But Morgan, if she’s taken Raven—if she lays a hand on what’s mine, I will tear this world apart.And if my brothers even think of challenging me for the child, for Raven, for the throne—I’ll destroy them too.We ran through the day and into the dusk, not stopping once. Our men were weary, barely holding themselves together, but there was no time for rest. Every second we wasted could mean losing her.When the palace finally came into view, I w
Raven POV Morgan didn’t look back at me. “What do I want? Oh, Raven, that’s the wrong question. What do you want?”The silence stretched out between us, the air thick with tension. My mind raced, trying to make sense of everything I was seeing.Morgan’s cruelty was evident in the creatures that slithered and prowled around us, their eyes cold and lifeless, their movements like puppets on strings. My anger surged, burning through my veins.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice tight with fury. “Why are you enslaving innocent creatures, using them like this?”Morgan’s smile stretched into something far colder, more calculating. She tilted her head slightly, finally turning to look at me, studying me as though I were an insect in need of examination. “Innocent?” she repeated, almost amused. “You call them innocent? These creatures are nothing but tools—tools that help me achieve what is rightfully mine. They’re weak, living in fear. And I’m giving them purpose.”I shook my hea
Raven POV I stood there, with my hand pressed to my chest, heart racing, feeling the weight of the queen’s cold gaze upon me.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice shaking despite my attempt to remain calm.She chuckled softly, the sound low and almost mocking. “Oh, so you know who I am,” she said, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “That’s very interesting, don’t you think?”“Very interesting indeed,” I muttered under my breath, not able to stop the bitterness that seeped into my words.She stepped closer, her presence suffocating. “Well, it seems like you haven’t been getting my messages,” she said casually, “So I came to pick you up myself.”“I’m not going anywhere with you,” I snapped, clenching my fists, unwilling to show the fear that threatened to rise in my throat. “You monster.”She raised a single eyebrow, her lips curling into a slow, sinister smile. “Who told you that you had a choice, my sweet girl?” Her words were laced with such venom that it sent a chill dow
Rowan POV The battle raged on with death on both sides, but something felt wrong. I couldn’t see Morgan anywhere. She kept sending mindless creatures at us, but there was no sign of her.Was it a distraction? Was there something else at play?“Behind you!” I heard one of my comrades scream. I spun around just in time to block a strike that would’ve taken my head off. Beside me, one of my comrades fell, lifeless.I turned and squinted into the far corner. From the shadows, Kelvin emerged, with a smirk on his face.Damn, bastard.I charged towards him with everything I had, shifting midair. My claws slashed through the air, aimed directly at him.We collided in a brutal clash, a flurry of strikes. I clawed; he ducked and retaliated with punches, sending invisible strikes that rattled my bones. We were locked in an all-out battle—neither of us giving an inch.“Where is your queen?” I demanded, trying to catch my breath between strikes.Kelvin’s smirk deepened. “Oh, she’s exactly where
