Raven's POV 

Asher led me to a room, the room was so dark, you could sense the lack of a feminine touch here.

“Well, this is our room Raven,” he said, switching on the light.

“But it’s just one bed here. Are we sleeping on the same bed” i asked him

“Yes Raven, i can’t allow my mate stay far from me” he says 

“But in my pack, my mother never stays in the same room with my father ever” I say looking up at him.

“Well, maybe that’s your pack’s way of doing things. But, we don’t do that here in Shadow pack.

I want you close to me, it helps calm my wolf and me”. He says with a hint of want and desire in her eyes.

“Okay, I understand. I also feel the same way. What I mean is that my wolf totally agrees with you on that”. I said and I could see him trying to hide his smile.

“Well then, let me leave you to change so you can come down for dinner”. He says, kissing my forehead before striding out of the room, closing the door behind.

It all felt so surreal, with Asher out of the room I could finally explore the bedroom.

The room wasn’t what I envisaged, but this goes past whatever expedition I was forming.

It’s a large spacious circular room with a high vaulted ceiling.

Ray of moonlight streams in through tall arched windows, illuminating the rich furnishings.

There’s a massive bed draped in black velvet, a massive oak walk-in closet, a plush armchair by a crackling fireplace that flickers and glows. Bookshelves lining one side of the wall filled with different books,

There’s a massive mirror by the side of a well decorated dresser.

My stomach rumbles again reminding me to hurry up and get down to dinner. Taking off my clothes, I walk into the bathroom.

I’m in a glorious state of the art bathroom. Shower is enormous and has a frosted glass pane.

It has four shower heads. By the sides is a bathtub made of marble, glistening like it had never been used.

The intricate tile work laid out in black and white mosaics is stunning. I step into the luxurious shower leaving the bath tub for a later day.

Hot water cascades over me. I closed my eyes and let out a contented sigh.

For a moment, forgetting every strange thing that happened earlier today and simply enjoying the shower. 

Washing up quickly, urged on by my growling stomach, I turned off the shower and wrapped myself in a black fluffy towel by the side.

I pad back to the room feeling refreshed but hungry.

A dress has been laid down on the bed for me to wear. No doubt the work of Asher. 

The dress fit just perfectly, surprising me, how did he know my size? This dress must have been expensive.

From the texture and feel in my hands, it was made from silk, very smooth to touch and screams luxury.

I didn't know what to do with my hair, it was still wet from the shower, so I just packed it up in a messy bun.

On the dresser were all sort of feminine products, very expensive brands.

Make up of different brands and different perfumes adorned the dresser.

I'm not really a fan of make up, most days I don't even use it except to cover up my eye bags.

I don't want Asher to see me as a plain girl, without makeup and everything. I want him to say I'm pretty 

I blush at my thoughts and my wolf just huffs, annoyed that I'm wasting time here, keeping her away from her mate.

She just has to suck it up, he's also my mate and I really want to look good for him

He stood up for me today, he made me feel safe and comfortable.

Maybe, just maybe fate has decided to have mercy on me finally, by bringing me a worthy mate.

I can get too relaxed now,I've learnt that good things don't come to people like me without consequences.

Maybe, things don't look the way they are, what if Asher only pretending to care and one day he'll also torture me like my father.

My wolf growls at me, but she doesn't understand, I'm not thinking the worst. I've just learnt not to be happy at things.

I quickly dash some powder on my face, putting mascara on my lashes to give them more volume.

Then finally, with a little red lipstick, not too much, just enough to enhance my lips. 

I check myself in the mirror once more and see that I'm looking good, not too showy, just the right look.

I quickly put on the dress and head downstairs for dinner.

    Raven's POV Two years later “Bryon, don't do that, come here. You need to take your bath now.” I chuckled as Matilda chased Bryon round the house.At two, he was a force to reckon with, always full of mischief and trouble.He was really a handful, thanks to his godfathers and godmother who kept spoiling him and teaching him all the mischievous things he does, most especially Dale.Asher walked in with Dale behind him.“Da.” Bryon screamed, running towards him. Asher bent down and scooped him up.“Hey my little Alpha. How are you doing?” He asked and Bryon blew bubbles on his face and giggled.“Your boy is really a handful.” Matilda said to Asher, putting her hands on her waist.“Is that true? Have you been giving Matilda a tough time now, hmm?” He asked Bryon who just pouted back.Bryon turns to Derek. “Der.” He says, pointing at Matilda. He's reporting her to him. Derek just laughed, stroking his hair.“Play, play, play.” He chants, trying to wiggle down from Asher's arms.“Okay, o

    Raven's POV “Bryon, you named him Bryon?” Maya asked, her eyes wide open in shock.“Yes, we did. It was actually Asher who brought it up.He said we should name him Bryon and I agreed.”“Wow! That's so thoughtful of him. I mean, Bryon was your little brother who Isla killed and he was the only member of your family that truly loved and cared about you.Asher did a good thing naming your son after him.” Maya said with a smile on her face.“Yeah, I wasn't expecting him to name our son after my brother but he did it for me and I'm so happy.For every time I look into my son's eyes, I'll always remember my little brother.” I said with a sad smile.Maya turned to my sleeping son in the cradle. “Hello little Bryon. You're so cute.” She says, rubbing his chubby cheeks.I smiled at them. “Dale's going to blow a fuse when he learns of the baby's name.” Maya said, happy with the decision made.I burst out laughing. “He will get over it, after all I'm already making him and Derek his godfathers

    Asher's POV Another contraction came and Raven dug her fingers into my arm.“Okay, Raven, time to push again.” Arianna declared.Raven pushed. “You're doing a great job, Raven.” Maya said, from the side, encouraging her.Derek and Dale were just outside the room. It was just me, Maya, Matilda, Arianna and king here with Raven.Maya is bent on her other side, wiping away the sweat from entering her eyes and encouraging her.Raven kept pushing. Drained, she sagged against my chest. “I don't think I can do this anymore, I just can't.Nothing's happening, I'm tired.” She complained, breathing heavily.I kissed her temple. “Come on, baby. Don't give up now, you're doing it, darling and I'm so proud of you.” I said, smoothing her hair away from her face.“I know you're tired, but you're doing a great job. I'm here, draw strength from me.” I said, before turning to face Arianna.I scowled at her. “Why is it taking so long? She's in so much pain. What's going on?” Arianna gave me a look of

    Raven's POV “Hmm, hmm, you're glowing. I'm guessing you enjoyed your wedding night?” Maya asked, making her way to the sitting room where I laid down reading a book.I blushed at her words, closing the book in my hands.“What are you talking about, Maya?” I asked, feigning ignorance.“Uh-huh, don't be coy with me iw. You know exactly what I'm talking about.Everyone saw you two leave the party early yesterday. What was it for, hmm?” She asked, sitting on the floor with her legs folded under her butt.“I was just tired last night and asked Asher to take me back to the house, that's all.” I said. It was the truth but not entirely the truth.Maya narrowed her eyes on me. I chuckled.“Fine. When we got back to the house, I got something to eat because I didn't realize I was starving at the party.Then, Asher told me he had a surprise for me later on.”“And what was the surprise?” She asked with a smirk playing on her lips.“He prepared a romantic night for us. He gave me a baby girl's tr

    Asher's POV After dinner, we sat dn in the sitting room, relaxing and watching a movie.Raven had her legs in my lap as I helped massaged her feet gently.“Hmmm, that feels so good. You are so good at this, Asher.” She said, closing her eyes to enjoy the feeling.“Of course, I'm good at anything I set my eyes and hands to do. That's why I'm the best.” I said with a smug look.“Yeah, yeah, you're the best, we know it. No need to sound so smug about it.” She said, rolling her eyes at me.I gestured to her orange juice by her side, she still hadn't finished it yet.“Finish your juice, at least for now.” I said.“But I'm stuffed already, I don't want to.” She whined.I cocked my brow at her and inclined my head, an expression that screamed you have to.With a huff, she picked up the glass and downed the entire juice like it was a shot of tequila.“There. I'm done. Happy now?” She asked.“I was happy already, but now I'm contented.” I said, kissing her, taking my time to gorge myself on h

    Asher’s POVI stopped dead in my tracks taking in the sight of Raven.She stood there in the white sleeved dress, flowing down to her ankle.She stood there looking like a Greek goddess, with those little gold trimmings accentuating the design of the dress.Her white creamy skin tanned to match with her blond hair and gave her skin a healthy glow.She had her hair bunched up in some kind of elegant updo that looked tousled with a few strands falling down the sides.She was breathtakingly beautiful and even my wolf growled in appreciation.She stared at me with that heated look in her eyes that made me want to claim her right here.If not for the audience we have, I would have had her bent over and fucked her thoroughly.I crossed to her with a smile on my face, sliding my arm around her.“You are sensationally beautiful, your beauty shines in the dark and radiates all around us. Sorry, I'm a bit late.” I whispered into her ear.She looked up at me with a smile on her face. “Thank you.
