Raven’s POVWe sat around the big table in the war room, going through different books as some lower sentinels moved around, running errands, even the walls knew something bad was coming.I sat next to Damien, and across from me were Fein and a few of the others—generals, guards, people we trusted or at least, we hoped we could.We still haven't found out the person that is acting as the Lycan Lord's puppet, that's why I called in a few, if anything goes wrong I would know who to suspect.We spread out maps on the table, carefully going through the maps in front of us, the maps showed the land layout, the kingdom's layout and the routes leading in and out. There were red marks, black lines, little symbols everywhere. It looked like chaos on paper and it was except that it was also chaos in real life.A sentinel rushed in, bowed to me before walking over to Fein, he whispered something in Fein's ear. Fein nodded, tapping the man on the shoulder as if communicating to him, the man no
Kai’s POVI slammed the door to my room and leaned back against it, taking in a deep breath, my heart pounding harder than it should’ve. My hands were still tingling with the feeling of Raven’s skin, her scent clung to me like smoke, and fuck, I didn’t want to wash it off. This wasn’t supposed to happen, I wasn’t supposed to feel like this.Sex was just sex. That’s what it had always been—- simple, clean, something I could control. I took what I wanted, gave just enough to leave them breathless and dumb, and moved on before they got ideas. Women were pretty things to entertain me, nothing more. Pleasure was a game but power was always in my hands.But Raven…She flipped the whole damn game.She was fucking different and I hated how my heart refused to deny it. She even managed to lock the beast in me. Yeah, I was a man of mystery, more dangerous than impure wolves, but I was rare too. No one could control me but she did…effortlessly. I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands buried
Raven’s POVThe walk back to the palace felt longer than before, more like I was the one dragging my legs. I didn't want to get separated from Kai but we had no choice and Kai was more making things easier for me, he was quiet the whole time back. When we got to the edge of the garden he turned to me with a faint smile, the gentle breeze sweeping away all our worries for that moment. He held my hand, his fingers brushing mine gently.“I wish I didn’t have to take you back,” he said.That's what I wanted bro, didn't you read the signals. “I know,” I whispered. “But we’ll see each other again soon.”Kai gave me one last kiss. “Happy birthday, Raven.”“Thank you,” I smiled. “Thanks for making my birthday one that I would not forget, and that's for the good part.”He placed a kiss on my forehead, giving me a quick path on my shoulder, he turned and walked away into the shadows. I watched him until he was gone.I inhaled deeply, curiosity creeping back into my veins. Kai was always th
Raven’s POVHe kissed me again, pulling me closer, neither of us pulling away, we kissed like we couldn’t breathe without it. I felt his hands on my waist, his fingers spreading over my skin, pulling me closerThe dress I wore slipped down my shoulders with barely a tug, falling to my waist, My skin tingle in the cool night air, but all I could feel was him, he was all over me. His tongue its way to my neck, licking me like a dog licking the feet of its Master. I let out a faint moan, I could tingle between my legs. He pulled back just enough to look at me. “Still cold?” he asked, his voice low but a teasing tone. I pulled him into another kiss. “My body's warm but my inside feels like ice,” I muttered, breathless. “Then let's fix that,” he smirked, pulling me into another hot kiss. Damn, he was a good kisser. I reached for his shirt, tugging it off, I needed to feel him completely, his body was warm, his muscles tense under my hands. My fingers ran over the lines of his chest,
Raven’s POVI stood under the soft light of the cave, my arms crossed over my chest, I felt exposed although it was just a little cleavage showing but I felt like my boobs were outside. I swallowed hard, rubbing my arms, nervously. “I don’t like it,” I muttered, pulling the fabric away from my waist. “It feels weird.”Kai tilted his head, staring at me with that annoying smirk. “You look like the moon just gave birth to you,” he said, stepping closer.I rolled my eyes. “That doesn’t even make sense.”“It does in my head.” He stopped in front of me, placing a hand on my cheeks, I melted under his touch. “Raven, you’re beautiful, you might be the most beautiful woman I have ever since and would ever see in my lifetime.”Woah, Dude, why the lines? It's just a fucking dress and I don't need a mirror to know that I look like a fucking horse. My lips pressed into a thin line as I placed my hands on my waist. “It’s just a dress.”“No,” he said, “Well, at least to you, but to me, it's eve
AUTHOR’S POVLena sat still, her fingers nervously picking at the edge of her gown. The music kept playing, guests were still chatting and laughing with each other. No one seemed to notice the absence of the Alpha, everyone knew that the Alpha wasted the party type. Lena was with some of her friends, they were talking about how hot Kai was and what they would give up just to get a glimpse of his monster, they were envious of the woman who took Kai away, they kept making different assumptions of hoe Kai might be fucking her but all Lena could think of was where the hell is Rowan?She had looked for him since the cake was cut. She had searched the hall, the gardens, and even sent a servant to the warriors' quarters, some servants told her that Alpha Rowan was not the party type, even her friends told her about the Alpha's past behaviours but she didn't listen. This was her first official gathering as Luna and her husband were nowhere to be found. Although people didn't make fun of her
Kai’s POVAs soon as I yanked her into the room and pinned her to the wall, she gasped, her fists hit my chest, but not hard enough to push me back.My lips curled into a faint smile. I have been expecting her to follow us immediately and tear the woman into shreds, but after waiting for hours and she still didn't show up, I was almost disappointed. “What took you so long? Did you come here to see me tear the woman's pussy or you came here to get your hole torn?*She rolled her eyes with a scoff. “Please, I wasn't even thinking about you.”“But you came here like a worried cock, were you thinking about the lady?” I held fer chin. Her eyes darted to the left, her cheeks flushed. “I just came to check on you, that’s all.”“That’s all?” I raised a brow. “You sure it wasn’t to watch me tear off that woman’s dress?”She scowled. “Don’t joke.”“I’m not.” I leaned closer, breath brushing her ear. “You know I’d never touch anyone else.”She froze.“I only want you,” I said softly. “Even if
Raven’s POV“Rowan, wake up,” my mother’s voice said firmly. “It’s your birthday.”Fuck, another miserable day where I'm reminded that I'm just a trapped Alpha but this time it got worse, I have a wife… Can this day get any worse? I opened my eyes slowly, taking in deep breaths. I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before sitting up. My birthday was one of the days I never really celebrated, but my mother insisted I attend my birthday today…at least for a few minutes. I got out of the bed, avoiding her but she held me, pulling me into her arms. “Look at you,” she said with teary eyes. “You look just like your father.”“But my father isn't proud of me,” I muttered. She slowly released me from her embrace. “Why would you think your father isn't proud of you? Everyone is proud of you, everyone is proud of the man you are becoming.”“But I'm not a man,” I reminded her. She lets out a frustrated sigh. “Are we still on this topic? Rowan, don't you see that I'm doing it for you? If
Author's POVLena had stopped walking a while ago, she stood silently under a tall tree, staring at the back of her mate, Rowan, who kept walking ahead without a single glance behind. He hadn’t noticed she was no longer by his side—or worse, he didn’t care.The light breeze brushed her hair gently, she swallowed hard, fighting back her tears. She had tried everything to get close to Rowan, she tried to start small conversation but he didn't even spare her a glance, she tried touching him but every time her skin touched his, he reacted with a mix of anger and irritation on his face. She decided to stay in her lane, giving him space… almost too much. Rowan didn't even realize that Lena was far behind. “Does your foot hurt?” One the servants asked. Lena forced a smile, turning to the servants. “The Alpha seems to have a lot on his mind, especially with the war, we should give him some space.”The sentinels and servants nodded in agreement. “She's really the true Luna, always thinki
