Chapter 46


    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 cab , 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 me 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 toote .


    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 ced 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 exined .


    ” 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 ncing at me , sighing . ” I won’t lie or hide it … Everyone


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


    almost protectively . Oh shit …


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ” 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


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


    said , d 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 d 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 exin 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 chocte 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 ss juice bottle that I had just taken out of the fridge


    slipped from my grasp , shattering as it hit the tiled floor , sshing 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 ?
