*** TRIGGER WARNING CONTENT CONTAINS SEXUAL ABUSE ***Ravens POVThe last thing I would have expected was for Mykel to enter my room in the early hours of the morning. To kiss me even though I slept. As the sparks touched my lips it shocked me awake. Not because it scared me, but because it was the first time in forever that I was woken pleasantly. When we fucked it felt so surreal. It was nothing like I experienced with Benjamin. With him I blocked everything out, feeling disgusting and ashamed when my body would become aroused and orgasm. Yet with Mykel it felt like something else entirely. He awoke nerves within me I hadn’t known existed. With each thrust he bought me new heights of pleasure that left me seeing stars. In that moment I wished more than anything he had claimed me entirely. I wished he would mark me, but I found myself unable to ask. Call it fear or stupidity, but I feared the consequences of what not only Benjamin but what my father would have done. My father is a bu

Lilith’s POVOpening my eyes, I found myself back in my room. I didn’t know how I got here, the last thing I remembered was ripping Benjamin’s heart from his chest. I could Mykel’s shock and fear as I ended his life without a second thought, to be honest I scared myself to. Never in my lifetime did I think I would be strong enough to end someone’s life like that. Everything after that moment however was a blank. To learn of the reason my father died made me feel sick, it was my fault. Had it meant my father lived I would have gone with Alaric. Even as a child I would have given my life over if it meant I would be able to save someone I loved. Thinking back on it now, everything I did when I was younger was similar to what a Luna may have done. Getting out of bed I opened the curtains to find it pitch black outside, flashes of lightening brightening it up for seconds at a time. Had the clock told me it was evening I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, however it was lunchtime. That a

Mykel’s POVHow could I have been so stupid as to involve myself with that lying, backstabbing whelp without knowing who she really was? I’d spent the entire night locked in my office, or so I’d thought. It was after the third bottle of scotch I knew I couldn’t go back to my room. I wasn’t scared to face Lilith and her mood, rather what I’d do to her. I’m no saint, I never claimed to be. But I was no woman beater either. That being said, there had been moments when rage blinded me. Rage so aggressive it controlled my entire being that I never had any recognition of what happened afterwards. I’d see Lilith with a bruise or a bite mark, then the way she would flinch from me told me all I needed to know. Whenever I had asked if I was responsible all I’d get was ‘don’t worry about it’. It became clear to me that when I was like this, I hurt her. I knew the alcohol didn’t help, and I’m by no means an alcoholic but it did keep me my gift from spiraling out of control and causing a storm so

Raven’s POVGetting into the back of that car scared me more than anything Benjamin had ever put me through. I wanted to trust Lilith more than anything, she had been kind to me and also my first ever friend. Yet when she asked me to co-operate every nerve within me screamed not to go with them, but against my better judgement I did. Lilith sat in the back next to me which I was grateful for. I kept my eyes on the window as we drove back through the town towards the pack house. I needed to remember the way out just in case. I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about with the witch as she would tell them I was being truthful all along. It was what would come after. I knew deep down once proven innocent Mykel would never allow me to leave and I’d end up trapped and locked away like Lilith. That wasn’t the life I wanted. I wanted to be free from the werewolf world. I wanted to live as a human, decide my own fate rather than have some fucked up moon goddess choose it for me.As we pulle

Mykel’s POVI stood there completely dumbfounded, both Raven and shola in tears. I wasn’t good at comforting someone while they were upset, that had always been Lilith’s strong suit. Whatever Shola saw in my mate’s memories had clearly been distressing. This witch was one of the strongest women I knew and here she sat crying her eyes out. Lilith helped both the women to their feet, Shola saying her goodbye as she gathered her things and left. I went to walk toward my mates when Raven glared at me. Something in her eyes had change, it was almost as if she had come to some kind of realisation.“Don’t come near me” her tone emotionless shocking both Lilith and I.“Raven I…”“No. Don’t say anything just listen. I told you I knew nothing of what my family had planned. I hadn’t helped them in any way shape or form, and you never believed me. You forced me to go through with this and now thanks to you I have had to relive every horrific moment in my life all over again. You have forced me to
