Luke? Can you hear me?"Axel's POV The car held tension as we made our way over to the dungeons, the fact that I now not only had my Raven with me, but Ayla as well, had me all in my feelings as I tried to block them out from Raven.I know she needs this, more than getting the information, which in all honesty doesn't matter now because the other two are already dead, the main one as well, this is for her own peace of mind. Now I guess for Ayla's too.I just pray that she will be able to handle this situation, the smell down there is bad enough, but the looks of him, dying, it's not exactly a pretty picture, let alone one for a fifteen year old girl that watched the same man kill her father. When we pulled up, I had already warned Byron and Anthony that we were headed over there so they were standing guard along with another two of my men who will be staying top side as the others accompany us down to the cells, just in case I need help.If Ayla passes out, or has a panic attack I h
You have the most amazing prayer to say to himAxel's POV Continued Things were a bit crazy over the next few days as all the preparations for the burials were finished. The burnings of rogues were completed, curfew was finally lifted in the pack.Ayla was back to school with Malcolm and MacKenzie, Maddie even started so Alicia has been up here helping Raven out along with Elena, basically the two were taking shifts so that Raven could get some rest when Aurelia did while they kept Hael occupied.Malcolm has started up his training classes again, Ayla is in every single one of them, she is really doing great and has decided that she would like to run classes for young girls when she comes of age. When I spoke with her last night I was quite surprised by her, but also ridiculously impressed with her at the same time."Axel, I know I will never be an Alpha, that I can't inheret this pack, and honestly I don't want to, I never did even with mine. If I never would have lost my brother I
My girls, how was your day?Axel's POV Continued The next few months flew by, the kids finished up at school, Hael was starting to attempt conversations with everyone, he was ridiculously smart already. Ayla's birthday was at midnight, turning sixteen so she will be shifting because of being an Alpha Female so we had everything set up for Raven to stay with her, walking her through her very first shift.Normally I would do this, but because of their relationship, how it has blossomed to the extent it has, she asked if it could be Raven with her, along with Elena and MacKenzie being there. She was nervous but excited at the same time the prospect of getting jer wolf excited her but I could tell she was scared that now she would scent her mate if he was here.Her worry stemmed from it possibly not being Malcolm, as well as the fear that her mate may have passed when her pack was killed. She has become such an important part of this pack so quickly, everyone loves her, she has had no pr
Raven's POV The Monday before Aurelia's third birthday Alpha Timothy was supposed to come here to stay with us. A bad storm had hit that blew power out of the entire area that our warrior Byron happened to be staying. His trip got rained out and he ended up getting a flat tire when he rolled into the closest town.Timothy had decided to stop in and see him on his way here in case he needed any help when he found her, the mate he stupidly rejected and had been searching for since she left his pack right after without a trace.Years, we searched for years yet she was found in a town only an hour from her pack, one that held no wolf ever, but I guess she had been taking descenters so that's why she was never scented.Now he will be late coming, if he comes at all I guess. He has a lot of groveling to do with her, as well as the fact that she may not be so receptive to him at all. I know he has been desperate to have at least a chance to try to apologize. I hope he is getting that now.I
Chapter 1Little bit about meRaven's POVI have lived in the Cresent Moon Pack for my entire life, never knowing anything but this pack, living the life of an Omega even with being the former Beta's daughter.My father betrayed the pack, betrayed our Alpha when he was killed leaving my mother and I alone to pick up the shattered pieces of his betrayal.My mother losing her fated mate broke her beyond repair as I tried for the first couple years to help her, to let her know that I wouldn't leave her, that I was enough for her however, when I turned 13 she passed.Technically she ended up killing herself from the drinking, because she drank so much that she lived her life drunk, adding wolfsbane to the liquor so she hadn't even felt her wolf in so long she forgot what it was to be one.After she was gone I became an orphan, one everyone treated horribly because of what my father had done. I honestly wasn't sure what exactly it was he did but that didn't matter, without him here, or my m
Why did he have to ask my name?Raven's POV Turning my head slowly I was faced with Alpha Axel again today, he was dripping wet, his chisled chest had water droplets cascading down his perfect God like body, my eyes trailing down to his breathtaking V line that disappeared into a low riding towel that was loosely wrapped around his waist.He cleared his throat making me jump up, snapping me back to reality when my eyes caught a glimpse of his before I instantly pulled back, lowering my head in shame at him noticing me checking him out."I apologize Alpha, I didn't know you were in here. I called out but received no answer so I began cleaning.I will leave then return when you are no longer here. Please forgive my disruption of your personal space."I was terrified to move from my spot as he was basically blocking me from moving as I was pressed against his bed with him towering over me."You can finish while I'm in here."He said curtly before he turned then walked into his closet dis
A friend?Raven's POV When I arrived at the packhouse it still wasn't even four in the morning. I entered through the servants entrance as I always do, walking through the kitchen on my way to my closet when I heard giggling coming from behind the doors. Stopping in my tracks hoping that whoever it was would leave so I could go through. I stood there silently when the door pushed open making me gasp when I came face to face with none other than Alpha Axel again, this time with Becca, the most popular girl in my school."Ew what is that thing doing in the packhouse?"Her shrill voice squeaked as she looked at me as if I was a piece of chewed up gum she stepped on and was now trying to scrap it off the bottom of her shoe."I apologize, I came here to start my chores." "At this hour?"His voice was deep as I felt his eyes boring into the top of my head as I feared looking up."Yes, I start early so I can finish before school, I apologize for being in your way, again.""Get away from us
Am I more than his daughter to someone? Raven's POV After cleaning up I put my things away, grabbing my clothes as I made my way to the kitchens so that I could leave for the evening at a decent hour for a change. Maybe I will get a good night's sleep tonight after I get laundry done back at the house earlier than usual.Walking through the kitchen when the head Omega called out to me stopping me in my tracks. I turned to face her with my eyes cast down because no one wants me to look them in the eyes."You will eat dinner then clean the kitchens again before you are permitted to leave."I raised my brows before they furrowed in confusion, dinner two nights in a row? I looked up slightly to see a plate being handed to me, I took it to see a full plate of food sitting upon it making my stomach instantly begin growling."Thank you Ma'am, I will be quick then clean up.""Hmph..."Was all I heard before I watched her feet turn away from me as she walked away, within a few minutes the kit
