Jax I hadn’t been able to top Raven’s birthday gift to me for her. But she seemed quite happy with the locket I gave her. On the outside, I had a raven engraved on it. I had managed to find an old picture of Ansel and Callie shortly after we both got our wolves. It took a few tries, but I managed to get the photo scaled down to a size that would fit on one side, and on the other was a picture of us. She cried and said it was her favorite gift I’d ever given her. We had a similar physical experience that we did on my birthday. And I swear at one point, I thought I heard her say love. But her mouth was on my wrist, biting me to make sure her parents didn’t hear her. It’s been a few months since then and we don’t do that every night. If anything, I think we go out of our way to not do anything. Since her parents are still allowing me to sleep in her room, I don’t want to upset them. And I think she’s too worried about what would happen if we got caught. Today, I walked her to hunte

Jax I don’t know how to deal with this. It’s not like I want anything to happen to my dad. I definitely don’t want him to die, or my mom. But no one else has had this back and forth thing happen to them. No one can tell me how to move past it. I thought I was going to lose it when she went downstairs. She said she’d be back, but I couldn’t help wondering if this was becoming to be too much for her. I wouldn’t blame her, she shouldn’t have to be a security blanket for me. The thought stirs Ansel, and I panic. I don’t think I can fight him if he wanted to take over again. No, I know I can’t. I pull my legs to my chest. Trying to keep my body as small as I can make it. It’s the only thing I can manage doing to to keep him from forcing the shift again. But she comes back. When Raven climbs into my lap, I don’t hesitate, I wrap my arms around her. She’s the only thing that’s keeping me from falling apart. And right now, it’s harder than it has been before. In the last several month

Raven I’m falling fast, until I’m not. The drop halts, yet there’s no ground beneath me, nothing solid to grab onto. Panic claws at my ribs. Where am I? Darkness presses in from every side, so tight I can’t inhale. I want to scream, but sound won’t come. Then I can sense a presence. It seeps inside me like an anchor, suddenly stopping my panic. Someone is here. Waiting. Recognition floods through me, warm and familiar, like finding a home I never knew I’d lost. A light follows. It’s soft, otherworldly, seeping through the black like a sunless dawn. It wraps around me, warms me, and for the first time I can breathe. My heart still races, but the iron grip around my chest is loosening. I’m not in the forest. I’m not even in my body. Yet instead of horror, I feel… right. That presence calls to me without words, and every part of me wants to answer. Slowly, it takes form. Him. My father. I don’t think about it. I just know. A tidal wave of emotion knocks the air from my lungs. I feel h

Sylvia I watch as Jackson carries Raven up the stairs to her room. I was worried when he growled at me, but when he leaned over to breathe in ravens neck, I saw the top of a mate mark peeking out of his shirt. If Raven marks him, he absolutely would’ve marked her. I have seen the love in that boy’s eyes for over two years now. “Honey, are you ok?” Harold asks me. I nod my head, but before I can answer, I hear a voice in my mind. ‘Sylvia, Raven knows about me. Our meeting was very brief, but she knows I’m her biological father. I am very sorry that you must now reveal the truth to her.’ Anything I was about to say, dies in my throat. I turn to Harold and I can feel the tears coming. I knew, when her wolf had awakened, that I would have to have this conversation with her one day. I just hoped I’d have a little more time. I can feel Harold sending me waves of love through our bond. He wraps his arms around me and holds me to him, letting me breathe in his scent. He never begrudge

Jax I watch Raven as she walks back towards the path to the hunter training center. I’m still a little mind blown with everything that’s happened in the last couple days. My dad goes from being almost on death’s door to completely healed, Raven and I are actually mates and we didn’t have to wait to turn 18 to find out and the biggest shock is that my mate is a fucking demigod! “Earth to Jax, dude are you in there?” I see a hand waving in front of my face and I look over at Ethan. “Sorry, what?” He starts laughing, “Bro, you’ve got it bad. I mean she’s obviously fit and probably pretty flexible, but it can’t be that good.” I’m instantly pissed hearing his words, I’m borderline seeing red. “What do you just say?” “Man I’m just saying, I’m not sure how you got so pussy whipped in a couple of days. Normally it’s the she-wolf who turns into a love sick puppy when a guy takes her virginity.” That’s when I snap, and I don’t even try to hold back my anger. I punch him as hard as I c
