Mary Balogh Ravenswood Series Novels & Stories

The bitter liquid slid down my throat as I made a mental note to be more careful. With everything happening between Alpha Thorne, the Bell family, and the surprise involvement of the Foster Pack, I couldn't afford to be sidelined. (Caleb's POV) "Pass the salt," Rachel said, watching me intently as I stirred the midnight broth I'd prepared. I glanced at the dining area where she'd spread out her belongings - her favorite ceremonial robe hanging by the door, her premium grooming supplies lined up in my washing area, her special moon herb pillows on my bed. Rachel Woods, heir to one of the largest auto repair chain territories in Ocean City, had somehow moved into my modest rented den without f

10:30 𝚙𝚖. *𝙾𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙽𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝙼𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛* As Bridgette sped through the rain-drenched streets, her anger burned hot and fierce. The knowledge of her lover's betrayal of her ultimate rival, Natalie Wayne, fueled her fury, and she gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white.

His goal was one: reach Martha's house. Three more buildings and Raven would reach Martha's house, the house at the very end of the pack. Whoosh! The last house was now before Raven's eyes. Raven's feet stopped moving, and he was in front of him. Martha was shocked by Raven's arrival. "Raven!" "Martha!" Raven shouted in surprise. Martha was surrounded by three men in black robes. One of them was even holding a sword, the tip of which was now at Martha's neck. "Run, Raven! Get away from me!"

The knock is sharp, firm and less than a moment later, the door creaks open. A woman stands there, her eyes sharp, knowing. Not surprised. Like she was already expecting me. I meet her gaze, steady. “Hello, Arachne. I’m Alpha Eli Blackwood. I think you know of me. You knew my father.” “Yes… I've been expecting you, Eli. Come in.”

“Someone is already drowning in front of us and you are all just watching?! What is wrong with you people?” “Drowning? She won’t drown unless she purposefully drown herself. She knows how to swim,” Raven answered back. “Help me! Please I don’t know how to swim!” Celia shouted back when she heard Raven’s words. Raven smirked. ‘Really? Let’s see about that,’ she thought to herself. “Bring out the baskets!” Raven commanded. Wren, Robin and two more others suddenly appeared from the crowd carrying covered wooden baskets. They are all Raven’s allies who work with him at the renovation project.

The Swift Security Series Maddog Chapter 86 Ruby’s point of view Mary pulls up outside the front of my house, promising me that she will get things moving as quickly as she can, and hopefully, Ysabel can then be placed in my temporary care whilst the search for any other family starts. I thank her before I turn around and walk wearily to my front door; it's been one hell of a day. I look up to see Maddox sitting on my porch. My heart melts. I’m so grateful for him being here. I really need him just now.

NARRATIVE POV Raven sat across from Sparrow, and the campfire in between them acted as a barrier between the two. It was the wall, the security blanket to divide. They had retrieved the mage root, with great difficulty, but Raven had to admit, at least to herself, that having Sparrow there helped her quite a bit. If he hadn’t followed her to the marshlands, even without the near-fatal attack of the beast hunting her, she wouldn’t have been able to acquire the root alone. The water line was too high, and the creatures were out hunting.

I snarl at him, feeling the presence of my mates getting closer, as Draig's reptilian eyes focus on Freya and Liliana. "Raven, please, he's going to hurt Freya she'll lose the baby," Liliana whimpers, with both hands around Draig's wrist making me dig my claws deeper. 'Wait!' Ruby panics in my head as she paces, making me look to my sister and her mate. "Daddy! Please don't hurt my dad," Rhys begs me, while pulling at my dress. 'Queen Raven, these women are not who they appear,' Draig's voice flits through my mind as he makes eye contact with me. I let him go and cover my eyes when a bright searing light fills the area and we are all thrown back.

He ranted, standing next to me protectively. “There would be no need for you to be rogues”. Wayne chimed in as he stood up and looked at my father and me. “Lundberg would be lucky to have you. A respected palace guard, a hardworking mother and two nightwolves! You’ll always be welcome to have a home in my pack”. He stated, as he then looked at Addison and shook his head with perplexity. “And just for the record, Luna Addison. Raven was the one that fought off all of Zach’s men and got Leo and everyone else out of those cells. She alone, brought them all back here, putting her own life and health at risk! When she got here, she could barely stand, speak or see. You should be thanking her, rat

“Don’t worry.” As they looked around, a gruff woman in worn ballistic armor came up to them. She was slightly taller than Eva, and certainly stouter. Despite her overall looks, and the deadly rifle on her back, she greeted the Ravens with a warm smile. She reminded Eva of Sergeant Elyn, back at the academy. “Hey there,” said the woman, “welcome to Settlement AGH-154, aka Parnos. I’m Lettie Broward, Sheriff Elect.” She stuck out her hand, and shook each of theirs in turn. Her grip was strong, and her palm rough. Evidence of a hard life that centered around physical labor and toil, no doubt.
