His chest rumbled as a growl escaped his lipsRaven's POV I had been blocking my emotions for the past few days, not wanting to ruin the happiness I felt from Axel as he spent time with our son.Watching the two of them has been like a dream come true for me. Hearing the laughs, or them speaking to one another, watching them run around together, it's been cathartic for me, helping me heal.When Axel came to me, when I opened my emotions back up to him I watched as he winced from the sudden rush of pain I had been holding back, but when I saw his eyes darken, showing me Lucian, I knew, I knew that he felt what was foremost in my thoughts.The more I see him with our son, the more turned on I become. I have been so desperate for him, but also felt so much fear to give myself to him again. I was nervous that it could hurt, or cause damage making conceiving again become harder. Yet, now, in the moment, seeing him there, feeling his body against mine, his kisses on my lips, none of that w
Stinky kidsRaven's POV Continued After the shower I got dressed then went out to enjoy some time outside with Elena, her kids and Hael. It was a beautiful day out and for the first time this week I felt lighter than I had before.The giant weight I swore was crushing me inside was lifted up thanks to my mate finally seeing through my facade, then forcing me to speak with him about everything I had been holding back.The moment I let that wall down I had built up it was like a damn breaking, the water rushing out heavily b3fore it finally evens out to a slow movement of the water as it flows gently again.That's how it felt to bring that wall down, to let my mate back in, to know that it was okay to have those feelings along with sharing them, sharing my burden without ruining anyone else's day.As I sat outside watching Hael run around with Malcolm and Kenzie I felt at peace. Deciding that it was time I opened my mind link up to everyone again before linking my Uncle David.'I can't
Her name is AliciaAxel's POV Once I had finished showering with Raven I headed down to my office while she went to spend some time outside in the gardens with the kids, alongside Elena.Getting to my office I found Beta Jason waiting outside the door for me. We still haven't spoken much about things so I can still feel the tension between us."Alpha."He bowed his head showing me respect."Beta Jason, how can I help you today?"He lifted his head, looked me in the eye, took a deep breath, then opened his mouth just to close it again."Would you like to speak inside instead of the hall?"He nodded as I opened the door then entered as he followed me in, closing the door behind him while I went to sit behind my desk."Come, sit, what's going on Beta?""Jason, you can call me Jason if you'd like.""Okay, Jason, what's on your mind? Are you not liking being here?"He shook his head instantly."No, no, that's not it. I am liking the pack very much, it's much better than my original pack as
I'm passing my title down to you RavenRaven's POV Looking at myself in the mirror I worry about the Luna ceremony after Axel takes his place officially as Alpha. I know I should be excited, I mean technically I was born for this part but since I wasn't really raised in that capacity I wonder if the Moon Goddess made a mistake.'Never! This is so far from a mistake, we were always meant to be a Luna or a Betas mate, whether here in this pack or taking that position within another.''Yet we were raised so different that others in this position. Girls go through training to take these places amongst their pack yet we lived in a basement foe all those crucial year with nothing and no one to speak to.''Being made for something is so much more than training Raven, it's you. Look at you, that woman shows compassion and love along with forgiveness to those who aren't worthy of it. You find the goodness is people, you have all the makings of a Luna with who you are naturally. Your motherly
You two having fun I see.Raven's POV Continued It was the morning of Axel's Alpha Ceremony, the house was in an uproar as everyone hustled around to get everything done. Checking that everything was in place and that we had the proper amount of security around us to keep the get together safe.Since the Rogue attack we have had more Rogues spotted around but are unsure as to why there have been so many around us lately.None have crossed again, not since over a week ago, but they are definitely still close by. My curiosity is peeked to know why suddenly we are having an issue with Rogues when we have only had about two or three attack over the last twenty years until now.I took Hael outside in the gardens this morning, away from the hustle and bustle of the household as we ran around the maze like hedges while he laughed away.I tried desperately not to let my nerves get to me about how this evening would go. I need to have Hael ready as eell because once Axel is officially sworn i
"Are you ready for this now my love?"Axel's POV When she stepped out of the closet my jaw dropped to the floor. She is already the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my existence, but this, now, I have never seen her dressed up in such a way before. She literally captured my breath when her eyes met mine.I could feel her nerves as she stood there, see the worry etched on her face about being dressed in a way she never had been before. She took a step towards me, the way the dress moved perfectly with her body was doing something to my body. Feeling her emotions, her self doubt when she was absolutely capturing, it was making me rage inside.I wasn't angry with her, not with her feelings, but Lucian was becoming overly protective as he watched her through my eyes. Something about her body language, as if she shouldn't be wearing something like that was bringing out a side of him I had never truly felt before.He wanted to hide her away from the world, keep her all to himself whi
Or will I enjoy it?Axel's POV Continued When we got back to our room I instantly pinned Raven against the wall, her hands above her head as I could feel our breathes intermingling by the closeness of our faces.A growl ripped out of me as her tongue shot out of her mouth brushing past my lips. Her eyes were glowing, the amber in them getting brighter as a purr was coming from her."Let's run my Alpha, see if you can catch me."She whispered seductively making Lucian push forward at the small inkling of shifting with her. He pushed against my skin when I felt my skin vibrate as we controlled ourselves from shifting right here and now.I slid my hand down her side, releasing the small zipper that held her dress together as we stared at one another intently.I let her hands go as I took a step back from her when she reached behind her neck undoing the top of her dress that sat there. I watched as she let it fall down off of her, sliding in almost slow motion, as it slipped down her bod
Feeling some type of way my Luna? Raven's POV I was sitting in the dining room downstairs in the packhouse feeding Hael some lunch after spending the morning with my Aunt Kerry learning about everything that entails being the Luna of such a large pack.She may have taken care of a smaller pack but the same things apply here, the big difference is that I will be needed more often due to our size.Basically it was quite a long morning but now I was happy to have some sense of normalcy by having lunch with my son when Axel walked in."How are my two favorite people in the world doing?"He asked as he walked over towards us, kissing Hael on his head before leaning into to kiss me sweetly before sitting down next to me."Happy to have a break, Aunt Kerry has been non stop since seven this morning. I knew there was a lot that I would have to learn but it's a bit overwhelming my lovey.""I know it is, but you have me too you know. I can help you as well, I was with my mother all the time wh
