RAVEN

I felt awful . Zack had told me what had happened and I felt like shit , I didn’t mean to make matters

worse , but I had . I padded up the stairs in wolf form before entering the bathroom and grabbing a

towel . Reaching beneath the cabinet , I slid my bedroom key out and trudged down the hall to my

bedroom .

Unlocking the door , I entered feeling exhausted , however , I had asked Robyn for help tonight and I

needed to go visit her too . I quickly told Zack that Taylor was ok , he seemed relieved and thanked me

. I hoped they managed to sort this problem out .

I groaned , getting dressed quickly in underwear , sweatpants and a ribbed vest top .

I grabbed the book , shoved it into the bag and headed to Robyn’s room . I knocked on her door ,

hearing music from inside the room despite the soundproof walls , you could still faintly make out the

sounds . She opened it pretty quick , dressed in voga pants and a crop top . She really was gorgeous .

I couldn’t really blame Damon when he’s stuck with a wallflower like me for a mate . One who hadn’t

even been there for him , once again the difference between what I felt for them both niggled at me and

I pushed the thought away .

I know I was beginning to self – hate again , as I did years ago , but I couldn’t help it . I felt guilty about

my feelings , for being the cause of the rift between both of them . ” Hey , Raven . RE ” Hi , I hope I’m

not too late .

I got caught u p . ” I said apologetically . ” Not at all , I was just finishing off some assignments . Take a

seat . ” ” 1 She closed the door behind me , I placed the bag down and sat on the edge of her bed . ”

Damon said we could trust you . ” I said nervously .

She nodded and crossed her arms , but I felt as if something was slightly off . ” Of course , what did

you guys need me to check ? ” She asked , her tone sounding slightly clipped .

” Umm , it’s a prophecy … ” I said , taking the book out and flipping the book open for her . She came

over and took the book from m e , sitting down . ” What is this … ” 1 ” It’s about the Deimos bloodline ,

the Westwood heritage . ” I explained .

” There’s a curse , and it’s about Liam . 11 I frowned when she tensed at the mention of Liam . ” Is

everything ok Robyn ? ” ” Hmm ? Of course . ” She replied , staring at me with those gorgeous brown

eyes of hers . 11 ” You got a little … You seem a bit tense .

She looked down at the book , before glancing at me , sighing . ” I won’t lie or hide it … Everyone

knows you and Liam spent the last two nights together … Isn’t Damon your mate ? ” She asked ,

almost protectively . Oh shit …

” Oh … he is … ” I said , nibbling on my bottom lip .

This was no longer a secret ; the number of people who were beginning to find out was growing …. ”

It’s … Both Liam and Damon . They’re both my mates . 11 Her eyes widened and she stared at me

stunned .

I waited for her to say something , but she just blinked , looking shocked . ” Oh damn … I didn’t see

that coming … That’s why you two aren’t together . That’s why he and Liam are at odds … ” ” Yeah . ” I

said , glad she understood it . She gave me a small smile . ” Sorry if I came off a little funny … It’s just ”

She looked sad and shook her head , changing her mind . ” I’m sorry .

” It’s ok , I’m glad you at least care for him . ” I said gently . She simply nodded , although I knew she

had more questions , she didn’t voice them .

” Ok … I’ll tell you about the Deimos curse , and then you can read the prophecy . ” I said before I

began to explain everything to her .

She listened carefully , looking through my notes before skimming through the book , as I talked . I

filled her i n on the card as well . Turning the page , she looked at the paragraph that contained the

prophecy itself .

” So the promise of the sun , is Helios’s curse , and the wish they speak of is Selene’s , so the birth of

Kiara and Liam weakened the curse ? ” My eyes widened , I missed that part ! That surely means

there’s hope ! ” Oh damn … Yes , and then it says from light and darkness itself .

The blessed wolf and the royal prince are born . Only then giveth the gift of breaking the curse … ” I

mused . ” Wait … the royal prince is born . There has to be more here . Kiara is a blessed wolf , but

what makes Alpha Liam a royal prince ? Would all the Westwoods be considered princes ? ” Robyn

asked . My heart thundered .

” I don’t know … ” ” That’s what we need to find out first . Why is he called the royal prince ? ” She said

, tapping the book with her long nails . ” Giveth the gift … So there’s something that’s been given in

some form to break this curse … ” ” Interesting , how do we find more answers ?

” I asked feeling so dumb right now . She seemed to understand it a lot better … ” Let’s see , this book

must have something … When the light gives birth to a … It’s a three – letter word … son maybe ? ”

She squinted , holding the book up to the light . I nodded .

” That’s what we assumed too , so Liam has a lot less time . ” I said , feeling that worry settle into the

pit of my stomach . ” The darkness will reign through the veins of the Deimos prince . Find the key

within the darkness to break the curse … It keeps saying , within and given , it’s going to be something

obvious ,

but I think there’s definitely something that makes Alpha Liam a prince . ” Robyn said , looking at me . I

nodded slowly , mulling over what she said . ” I’ll have a think . Is it ok for me to hold o n to this book

and see if there’s anything else I can pick up if I actually look through it ? ” She asked .

” Sure , but please keep it hidden away . ” ” I said . ” And thanks for your time , Robyn , I appreciate it .

” ” No problem . ” She said and I stood up , taking up the card and my notebook . Slipping them back

into my bag , I exited her room .

Feeling a little peckish , I decided to go check the kitchen for any food .

I quickly put the bag in my room before heading downstairs . I entered the kitchen , the fresh scent of

citrus detergent filled my nose and I inhaled it , going over to the fridge when Damon’s voice came into

my head .

‘ Liam , Raven , the hot chocolate was fine , there was no poison in it or the milk . ‘ He said quietly . I

frowned . He didn’t sound normal … ‘ And the pills ? ‘ Liam asked . ” There was wolfsbane , silver and

ricin in one of her pills .

‘ He said , his voice sounding strained . The glass juice bottle that I had just taken out of the fridge

slipped from my grasp , shattering as it hit the tiled floor , splashing orange all over . My heart was

hammering as I stood there frozen . Goddess … ‘ Fuck … ‘ Liam cursed . ‘

If you two didn’t … I … Thanks , guys . ” Damon murmured . The same thing was going through all our

minds . What if I hadn’t heard the back door ? What if Liam hadn’t said to search ?
