**Raina's POV** The puppets just kept coming, and I realised they would not stop as long as the dark witch was still alive. So, I mindlinked Mom and asked her if she could look for the dark witch with me. Rowan had quickly initiated her into the pack the moment we found out about the security breach. After leaving Rowan and our parents to fight off the puppets, Mom and I began to track the dark witch's location. 'We have to be careful. This bitch has a few tricks up her sleeve. She knows dark magic won't hurt us, so she might use other brutal means,' Mom said through the mindlink as we ran in our wolf forms. 'I'll be alert,' I replied, using my nose to track the filthy scent of dark magic. This whole place felt heavy. Like a huge cloud of darkness had blanketed over it. We were going towards where this darkness was the heaviest. That's where the dark witch would be located. If we take her out, all her puppets will die with her, but I knew taking her out wouldn't be so eas
**Rowan’s POV**A murderous growl reverberated from my chest, the sound echoing around us, the fury in it shaking the ground. Guilt crept into me so intensely, my heart clenched with pain.This wasn’t supposed to happen. I was supposed to rescue these warriors… I promised to return them to their families. But now, they were as good as dead. It’s either they stay puppets, or we put them out of their misery by killing them… It’s cruel to ask my warriors to kill their friends with their own hands… My jaw clenched. That bastard… He did this to slow us down, knowing we wouldn’t be able to hurt our own people. I was going to kill him, and I would do it slowly. I was going to avenge Raina, her mother, and all the warriors who had been captured by him and turned into unwilling puppets. Suddenly, a group of wolves emerged from the forest… and at the forefront were some of the warriors who had gone missing just like the warriors at the border reported. As I glanced upon the warriors I h
**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
**Rowan’s POV** A week…It took a week of my mate being unconscious for me to experience what it means to complete a mate bond. I couldn’t do shit. I was so fucking worried about her, even when I knew she would eventually wake up. My wolf was restless, and he kept pacing around in my head, givin
**Rowan’s POV**I glanced at the bottle of the chocolate-flavoured gel and glanced at Raina, arching an eyebrow. “Chocolate? That's an interesting choice.”“Yeah… well, you smell like chocolate, and I love chocolate… so…” she replied bashfully, her cheeks flushed pink. How could she be so beautiful
**Raina’s POV**Watching as Rowan unravelled as I sucked him off turned me on more. I don’t know what came over me… Jade had given me some tips on what to do. She used a cucumber to teach me how to suck a man off. Although I wasn’t an expert yet, I gained the courage to go on my knees and took Row
**Raina’s POV**Night had fallen, and we shifted back into our human form. “Are we going back now?” I asked. “Not yet,” Rowan said, holding my hand. “I want you to see something.” I arched an eyebrow, wondering what he wanted to show me. “Come here,” he said, snaking his arms around my waist and
