RAVEN

The moment those sparks rushed through me ; my eyes blazed as I looked at the man beneath me . ” And this is an even nicer punch ! ” I growled quietly , before punching him square in the nose . The sickening crunch as I broke it satisfied me .

How dare he ! I jumped off of him , resisting the urge to kick him in the balls , and instead kicked his knee , hard ! How dare he ! Grabbing my boots , I turned and stormed down the stairs .

My heart was thundering with a hundred emotions , but above all , I felt angry . How could he ignore me for three years and think he could just start flirting with me ? Nope , not happening . I am not a pushover . I will not ” Raven ! ” He grabbed my arm just as I reached the front door , and I was annoyed to see he had put his nose back in place .

” Don’t touch me , Liam . ” Thissed , yanking free . ” I’m fucking sorry . ” He said , raising his hands in surrender . ” That was out of line ” 1 He looked away and I shook my head .

I made my way back towards my parent’s house , not bothered with the wet floor or the dirt that was sticking to my feet . The rain was still falling lightly and the sound of distant animals could be heard .

That night , two years ago , I went with Cassandra and Aunty Angela to a neighbouring town . They had been on pack business with the pack that was hosting the mating ball . Aunty had asked me if I wanted to attend , but I told her no . As per the rules , one ball per year was hosted by King Al and the other by a different pack .

I had left my hotel room and gone to get some drinks . Then , to my surprise , Liam had shown up .

on the mating ball , he had stolen my first kiss that night . Although my entire body had wanted to give into him , I couldn’t , not when he was in that state and not when I was tied to not one but two mates . I couldn’t do

I was going to leave this place anyway , Opening it up , I rummaged around until 1 pulled out Liam’s suit jacket from that night . I caressed the fabric , my heart clenching at the way he told me to

a sudden scent hit m y nose and I froze , yanking the towel from my hair , my eyes snapped to the bed where none other than

shut door behind me . Why was this happening today ? I didn’t want to see my mates , yet I ended up

at me like I was a piece of meat ,

come back into my life ? No , I don’t think so . ” Hey , so can I ask why you are in my room ? ” I asked , raising an eyebrow , trying to ignore how hot he looked . I had broken

of fizzy sweets and a bag of donuts . ” I brought a bribe ? ” My heart skipped a beat ,

to clean my room up a little . ” Your mom , I was going to come through the window but it was locked . Your dad

” Raven , can we talk ? ” ” You want to talk now ? Go ahead , I’m all ears .

apologise for everything . Nothing I say is going to justify that night , but you have got to remember Liam is my

but it doesn’t excuse that you both were so caught up in how you both felt that you didn’t even once consider how I was probably feeling . I never wanted two mates , but I was given them . Yet you both cut me off
