And even if he betrayed me, all I kept thinking was the fact that he was my best friend, that he had always been there before anyone, and that made it hard to hate him...
*
Her head hurt and everything about her felt heavy.
Gasping, Ravens hand went to her belly and she let out a sigh of relief as she heard a snicker at a corner of.... Of the tent she was in.
Tent?
"It must be real nice huh? Having a baby when you killed the one that had mine"
Jordan!
Her eyes moved to where he was, at a corner sharpening a knife with so much intensity that she felt herself gulp in.
"Does it irk you that your asshole of a boyfriend didn't kill me?" He asked, now carrying the knife up and letting the small ray of light coming from a hole from the tent reflect on the knife.
Raven sighed, trying to get comfortable cause her back suddenly hurt like hell "I'm actually glad you're okay"
"Liar!"
He spun to face her, his brown eyes having sparks of hate that made Raven's stomach churn "You.... You have always wanted me dead!"
God...
Why was her stomach hurting so much?
She bit on her lower lip, because she knew shouting or getting mad wouldn't get through with Jordan, it almost never did "You didn't even.... You were okay and you didn't come check on Briar"
His anger flashed between her eyes, and for a moment, just for a moment, she saw pain but it left immediately too "She... She betrayed me! Left me! For your sake!"
She slowly shook her head "She left because she knew what you would turn your baby into"
He stood "What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I know you hurt her....."
"You know nothing you little piece of shit!" He snapped "What do you know about watching fire burn down everything you've ever had? I was alone. Everything I ever was prepared for, gone. I trained, every fucking day, still got fucking nightmares about it and one day, all of it, I lose it and you're telling me you know what? You know nothing!"
She winced, feeling the words pinch her as she said "We... We aren't talking about that. Let's talk about Briar"
"Shut up"
"Why.... Why did you hurt her?"
"Cause she could leave me dammit!" He yelled, hitting his hand on the table "You think I don't know my face isn't favourable? You think I don't know I'm a horrible person? Oh I do, and fuck me if I haven't tried to fix it. I did, but you... You were just everything I hated. Yes, hated. You didn't want to be Alpha, you didn't care about anything, have an interest on anything, you were so apathetic about every goddamn thing, just cause what? You lost just one person? I lost my whole family!"
Raven knew her eyes flashed red as she said "Do not talk of her"
As if Jordan was now suddenly aware of something, he smiled "Why don't we do that? Talk about her, because you're not my Alpha"
"Stop it"
"Or let's say, her Mate"
She looked up at him "You do not know her Mate. No one does"
He raised an eyebrow "Are you sure? Even your Father or Mother?"
A memory flashed in front of eyes as a crying Raven begged and cried that they told her who had hurt Misha so she could beg him to come back to her sister.
They all said they didn't know who it was, that him and Misha were quiet about everything.
"It must hurt" Jordan said "Realizing everyone lied to you. Jethro, Annabelle, Rin.... Sirius"
Her eyes locked at his "Where's he?"
He rolled his eyes "Are you really worried about him? He's fine, just so you know. Very fine infact, he was the one who brought you here, would possibly bring others too"
"What.... What are you talking about?"
He grinned "Sirius kidnapped you"
Her memory flashed to the lake....
She held unto her throbbing head as an overwhelming need to vomit came up her throat "He apologized. I need to talk to him, he didn't mean it....."
"I really hate it when you act so forgiving" He cut in "Like a fucking saint. That's why you make a horrible Alpha Raven, because you're too compassionate, too naive, too stupid. Letting someone that hurt you just continue existing in your life. Let's take Axel for instance"
"Stop"
"Where does he come from? Why is he so powerful? Why is he such a jerk ass?" He asked "I'm glad you asked, cause I'd tell you"
"Stop it"
"Once upon a time, the moon was, still is" He continued like he had not heard her "And watching the Earth, she craved for the freedom, for the waters, for the trees, and on one Blue moon, she summoned the courage to come down, as a wolf, which was one of her earlier creations, at first. Just going around, until a Creature from the deepest parts of hell chased her for dinner. This had gone on for a while till at 12 midnight, the moon goddess had finally turned into her human form, the Creature, marvelling. Long story cut short, they spent the rest of their day together till sunrise. Knowing she must return, and him, away from the light, both never sure of ever seeing again, decided to make a pact. With their blood mixed, they made a new race of creatures, Hybrids.
Stronger than her bloodline of werewolves, stronger than his, as they were a mixture of the two, fed into five newborn babies they had found abandoned in the woods. Zephyr, Paris, Helios, Pandora, Artemis, and Hera. Three boys, three girls. After the moon returned, the Creature raised them as his, until his death and their bonding. The only thing was, after thousands of years darling, if Hybrids ever mixed with wolves, the possibility of having another hybrid was one in a hundred. If a hybrid mated with another hybrid, a hybrid was sure to come, which was a good thing honestly, a world with a superior race as them? Pale skin? Blue eyes? Abilities that were both vampires and werewolves? And let's not forget the white hair"
Ravens eyes widened as Jordan nodded "Yes. I'm glad you're getting the hang of story. Point is, this hybrids, are called the royal family, as they are powerful, whatever, and your darling Axel, is the next in line, or likely, Prince of all werewolves and Vampires alike, that's if he doesn't die today though"
She growled "You can't hurt him"
Jordan laughed "I know. Honestly, but he can"
He?
Jordan smiled "I haven't even reached the best part. Axel once had a mate before, did he tell you?"
No....
Stop....
"Due to Prince Axel being wanted, his meetings with his Mate had to be secret, therefore Misha had to be quiet about it"
"You're lying"
Her voice cracked as she said it, her heart with it but as Jordan laughed loud, walking up to her, she knew he heard "You don't think so, if not you wouldn't be hurt, as you are....."
"Move away from the hostage Jordan"
Both eyes turned to the figure now entering the tent, mask on his face as only his eyes showed.
Jordan sighed, moving away "Alpha, my apologies"
Alpha?
His eyes were gold....
Her heart dropped.
No, it couldn't be...
"Go meet Sirius at the ranks back at Crescent Pack, now, and come back with my flower"
"Aye" Jordan said with a wink, then facing her, laughed "I promise to being back his head as a souvenir" And walked away.
The man, masked, turned to Raven as she said "You do not like him. You do not sound.... Like him, and you just said that he is not here.... But the eyes... The eyes do not lie, who are you?"
The man sighed "I knew that you would recognize them"
His hands went over his head as he removed the Mask and threw it to the floor, his black hair gleaming as his eyes glowed more.
Raven nearly broke there "Sirius"
"Hello, Raven"
