**Rowan’s POV**Of all days, that bastard decided to attack our pack today, and early in the morning, when most of the warriors would be training. He was so cunning and sneaky. But even though he came in the morning, we were still ready to defend ourselves and this pack. This was going to be the final battle. That bastard was going to be dealt with once and for all. The moment I got the alert of a security breach, I rounded up the warriors and burned the charm Agatha gave us to summon the witches' army. The rogue army at the border was still trying to break through the barrier that Agatha helped us put up, which bought us some time to spread out and strategise how we were going to fight this battle. Beta Michael had decided to join the battle, even though Raina wasn’t for the idea since he hadn’t been training with us. It was a risky move. But the old man wanted to do anything to make amends, so no one was going to talk him out of staying and protecting his daughter. I stared at
**Raina's POV** "Your father has been given a room. He will leave for the Whitecrest Pack tomorrow morning," Rowan said when he came to our room at the Alpha's mansion. "He wanted to leave now, but Mom convinced him to stay. It's a bit late, after all." I gave a small smile. "It seems he managed to talk to Mom without us having to intervene," I murmured. "I was worried she would rip his hair out." "She probably thought it wasn't worth it," Rowan said. He took off his clothes before sliding into bed with me. I scooted closer to him before placing my head on his chest, right where his tattoo was located.The tattoo that stated he was mine. He belonged to me. "That or she's still blaming herself," I remarked, caressing Rowan's chest. "Anyway, what matters is that we are all alive." "That's right," Rowan murmured and kissed the top of my head. "I'm glad you now have both your parents. Are you happy?" "I've been happy from the first day I met you," I uttered, looking up
**Rita's POV**I know I had decided to hide in my room as Michael talked to Raina, but I couldn't help myself. Jumping out of the window, I walked around the mansion and masked my presence when I got closer to the patio. My heart clenched in pain the moment I saw Michael. He was older, but he hadn't changed much. He was still as handsome as the first day I met him. Severing our mate bond was the hardest thing I had to do in order to protect him and our daughter. I just didn't expect him to get hurt and vent that anger on Raina as if she were the reason I left him. Our daughter didn't deserve any of that. And no matter how many times she says I shouldn't blame myself, it's my fault that she had to endure such mistreatment in her own father's house. I would never stop feeling guilty. But I also know I would still make the same decision all over again. Pace had been tracking me. And it was only a matter of time before he found us. If I hadn't left, Raina and Michael would ha
**Raina's POV** My heart hammered in my chest. 'What should I do?' Rowan asked. 'I can ask the warriors to send him away since you're not ready to meet him.' "Raina, what’s wrong? Your face is pale," Mom asked, and everyone turned to look at me. I smiled awkwardly. "I'm fine, it's just that I've heard that my father is at the pack's border." Mom let out a murderous growl. "That coward. How dare he show himself here? I thought he told you he would wait?" Mom asked, glancing at Rowan. "Yes, that's what we agreed. I'm equally surprised he's shown up before Raina could reach out to him like he promised." "Ask them to send him away," Sebastian said. "We can't force Raina to see him when she's not ready." "No, it's fine. I'll see him," I uttered, and Rowan looked at me, his eyebrows creasing. "Are you sure, Sweet Pea?" He asked worriedly. "You don't have to force yourself if you're not ready." I coiled my hands into fists. "I'm not ready, but I would have had to face him one
**Raina’s POV**“I hope we are on the same page, Jade,” I said, looking at her. “You won’t be joining the battle this time. You have life growing inside you.” Jade sighed, looking out at the trees. We were on a balcony that overlooked a garden and the forest at the Alpha’s mansion. Lydia had invited us to dinner. It was a family dinner to officially welcome my mother into the family, but we invited close friends as well. Jade and Lucia were with me on the balcony, and Flynn, Rowan and the three gammas were somewhere outside, smoking and strategising about the war. That was all we did these days. We didn’t know when Alpha Pace would attack, so we weren’t going to let our guards down. Agatha had come through to see my mother, and while she was here, she raised some barriers at the border, although she wasn’t sure if they could hold against Marcella’s dark magic. Still, we were grateful for the help. Anything that could slow the attackers was welcome. “It’s hard for me to do that,
**Raina's POV**"Hello? Raina? Are you there?" Silas' annoying voice echoed through the phone speaker, and I coiled my hands into fists.His voice was gentle, but he couldn't fool me. I knew what kind of man he was.He was an abuser, a narcissist and a tormentor. The only reason he was speaking like he was talking to a god was because he wanted something.I glanced at Rowan. His jaw was clenched, clearly not happy that I agreed to talk to Silas. But he still held the phone for me and put it on loudspeaker.Leaning in, I placed a soft kiss on his lips, and he relaxed a little, giving me a small smile."Hello? Is anyone there?""Why do you want to speak to me? And how did you know I was back?" I questioned coldly.There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.After a few seconds, Silas sighed."You really hate me, huh?""Isn't that obvious?" I sneered. "Get to the point.""My sources told me the Nightshade Pack is planning for war, so I assumed Rowan managed to rescue you. I w
**Raina's POV**“What are you… ngh!” I blushed when a sultry moan escaped my lips. What was going on? What was this man doing, and why was it turning me on so much?Perhaps I had finally lost it. After being deprived of love for so long, this man’s look of desire must have made me fall into his tra
**Rowan’s POV**When I buried my face in Raina’s pussy, fuck… I lost it. I couldn’t control myself. So I ravished her. Ate her out like it was my last fucking time on this earth. I did notice that she was bruised, signalling that some fucker had hurt her not so long ago, and from the faint scent
**Raina's POV**The words stung even though I told myself not to care about the hurtful words Silas was saying. I tightened my hold around Rowan’s neck, my heart pounding violently, my stomach twisting and turning in fear. Is he going to reject me now that he’s seen how I’m treated in my own pack
**Raina’s POV**I froze out of habit when I heard Silas’ furious voice, and my heartbeat accelerated. The banging on the door became too aggressive, making it rattle violently. If the vanity table hadn’t been behind the door, it would have fallen off its hinges from the sheer force with which Sila
