Chapter 91


    LIAM


    Three and a half days .


    That’s how long Raven’s heatsted , three and a half intense days .


    I was close to breaking my resolution when I saw no end .


    Seeing her sobbing and begging me messed me up .


    Mom and Dad were shocked that it went over the three – day period , which was themon period for


    heat , but we assumed maybe the curse made it worse .


    Or Mom thought perhaps I’m just a stronger Alpha than Dad , but I don’t think so .


    When Dad and I spar , I only manage to outdo him by a little , and I’d put that down to being younger .


    The moment her heat was over , Raven fainted with exhaustion .


    I made sure her temperature was ok before I tucked her into bed , copsing next to her and letting sleep


    consume me .


    We slept for almost an entire day , far too exhausted to do anything .


    That had been one hell of an experience , it had been more painful and draining than everysh I had


    taken .


    Seeing her in pain fucking hurt so badly , and I felt like I was being punished for messing up .


    I just wish she hadn’t had to suffer once again because of me .


    But there was something about this moment that helped .


    There was something in her eyes when she looked at me , holding me tightly andpletely vulnerable


    in my arms


    I was meant to be her protector but I had hurt her .


    In some ways , having her in my arms trying to fucking seduce me and rip my clothes off felt like a


    chance for me to prove I was better than what I had be .


    My beautiful mate … She was perfect .


    I had just gotten dressed , ready to head out to get all her favourite foods after running her a hot , warm


    bath with essential oils .


    I’m surprised our toes didn’t fall off after all that time spent in the icy bath .


    I had requested someone toe to clean up the room and change the bedding .


    Once they left , I left too , not wanting to be gone for too long .


    We hadn’t really talked .


    When I had stepped out of the shower , I had carried her to the bath .


    She had just woken up .


    Kissing her softly , I promised to be back soon .


    Forty minutester , I unlocked the hotel room door and pushed the handle down with my elbow , my


    handsden with two paper bags , hot drinks and arge cupcake in a box .


    I saw Raven looking breath – taking , lying o n top of the fresh white bedding , her hands tucked under


    her cheek , wearing nothing but one of my t – shirts that fell to her thighs .


    My heart thundered and the thought of seeing her like this every morning , every day for the rest of my


    life , filled my mind .


    A guy could dream … ” Hey … ” She said , sitting up , brushing her fingers through her hair .


    Her cheeks were painted a soft hue of pink , a pout on her plump , lush lips .


    ” Hey , feel better ?


    ” I asked , cing the bags on the bed .


    She nodded as I bent down , kissing her lips .


    A soft sigh escaped her and I moved back slowly , savouring the taste of her in my mouth , my lips


    tingling from where they touched hers .


    I sat down as she reached for the first bag , my gaze going to her shoulder as my T shirt slid down ,


    revealing her smooth , creamy skin that I would never tire of .


    ” This smells great .


    .


    ” She said , as we both began to take everything out ; egg and cheese muffins , bacon rasher


    sandwiches , pancakes , cinnamon rolls , buttered croissants , sugary donuts , brownies , hot chocte ,


    along with two bottles of orange juice .


    ” We’re both fucking starved .


    ” I said , unwrapping a muffin for he


    ” I know .


    When was thest time we ate ? ” She asked , biting into it .


    I watched her , my gaze dipping to her gorgeous lips .


    ” Around thirty hours ago , give or take .


    ” I said , our eyes connecting .


    The sexual tension between us was intense .


    Her gaze ran over me before she looked away , taking a bite .


    ” Thank you … for everything … I know it was probably hard .


    I mean , especially when I was begging … ” She murmured , biting into the muffin once again , pouting .


    ” Hard is an understatement , love .


    Have you seen yourself ? ” I asked , smirking slightly .


    She looked up slowly , her eyes softening , and she smiled slightly .


    ” It’s weird , that you loved me for so long … I’m nothing spe =


    ” ” You fucking are .


    Now stop it .


    Stop thinking of yourself as any less .


    You are beautiful , kind – hearted , and everything a man could ever hope for .


    ” I said , reaching over and pulling her into myp .


    She blushed despite having been in myp naked many times over thest few days .


    ” Thanks , ” She said , caressing my face .


    I hugged her tight as we continued to eat .


    Now that her heat was over , her telling m e about her and Damon’s rejection was on my mind again .


    She held thest bite of her muffin to my lips and I took it , watching her unwrap another muffin as I bit


    into my sandwich , one arm around her slender waist .

    The sparks of the bond sizzled between us .


    ” You said you and Damon rejected one another … ” I began .


    She paused from opening the bottle of orange juice and nodded .


    ” I realised what I wanted … I won’t lie , when we were originally going to reject one another , it was


    emotional and I wondered what if …


    But this time , I knew i It was what I wanted .


    I could never treat him the way I did you .


    There was no point in stringing him along when I forgot everything when I’m around you .


    It was for the best , for all of us .


    ” I kissed her shoulder softly .


    ” Thank you … ” .


    ” I said quietly .


    Yeah , I had been a jerk about it , but knowing she chose me … ” Nothing to thank me for .


    You’re stuck with me for life .


    ” She said , biting into a croissant.co ” Just the way I wanted it .


    ” I replied with a smile .


    I don’t know what it was , but something had changed between us .


    There was no longer any barrier … ” Oh , my goddess , a sponge cake ! ” She said , unboxing the little


    treat I had picked up at the bakery that had just been opening up when I had gotten our food .


    ” This one I’m not sharing !


    ” I smiled , amused .


    ” I knew you wouldn’t .


    It’s all yours .


    ” I said , watching her scamper out of myp a s she quickly ttened the box open and took the giant


    cupcake out of it .


    I had to admit she looked fucking sexy sitting there on her knees in my shirt … ” I need a picture .


    ” I said , quickly grabbing my phone .


    She smiled like the little minx she was and parted her knees slightly .


    With one hand , she pulled her shirt between her thighs , making it strain against her breasts .


    I swallowed hard , noticing her nipples were poking against it .


    She smiled coquettishly , raising the cupcake to her mouth .


    She stuck her tongue out sensually , licking the tip of the icing .


    Her eyes were looking straight at me , and I took a snap , feeling myself harden in my pants .


    Fuck … ”


    You know how to tease .


    ” I said .


    ” Do I ? ” She knew exactly what she was doing to m e .


    She simply smirked cheekily .


    It had been so damn hard to resist her as she tried to tempt me to take her .


    She giggled , biting into her cupcake .


    ” I can be … ” She said , our eyes meeting as she licked her lips .


    ” But you haven’t seen anything yet .


    ‘


    ” Looking forward to it … ” I whispered , taking hold of her chin .


    I leaned forward and she smiled , leaning into the kiss as our lips met .


    Sparks coursed through us , pleasure rushed through me and sent heat rushing right to my dick … Fuck


    … We parted and she looked up at me , her eyes solemn , and that glint of mischief was no longer there


    .


    ” I love you , Liam , and I’m ready to .


    be yours in every way .


    ” She said quietly , her fingers touched her mark and she smiled softly .


    My heart thundered , realising despite everything , I was getting a second chance .


    A second chance to make things right , but even though she had just confessed her love to me , what


    she said next threw mepletely .


    “


    I want to mark you , Liam , I want you to make me yourspletely … I want to give you my first time ,


    my every time , and myst time … I want only you .


    To be by your side through the good and the bad .


    You and only you .


    ” My emotions swirled through me like a tidal wave that had just been unleashed


    She wanted me … me to make her minepletely … A confession from her lips … a confession from


    the heart and one I would never ever forget .


    ” I love you too .


    Always have and always will .


    You are mine , I promise I’ll take care of you for as long as I can … ” I whispered , my stomach clenching


    at the thought that perhaps I’ll never get that .


    ” Yours .


    ” She said softly , cing the cupcake down .


    She climbed into myp , straddling me , wrapping her arms around me tightly .


    I hugged her tightly , feelingpletely content despite the fear of losing it all eating up at me .


    Just then , I felt something snap inside of me .


    The pain knocked all the air from me and something wrenched free from inside of me .


    My blood ran cold as the barrier on the darkness broke away .


    It rushed through me , stronger and  more intense than ever , seeping into every corner of my mind and


    body , bleeding into my veins and heart .


    The seal that Delsanra had put on it , had beenpletely broken .


    ” Liam ! ” Raven said suddenly , cupping my face , the tingles of the sparks soothing the storm a little ,


    but ….


    It wasn’t enough .


    ” I’m ok … The seal … It’s broken .


    ” I said quietly .


    I lifted her off myp , feeling the darkness trying to take control , and I realised at that moment that no


    matter how much I didn’t want it , I may still end up hurting those that I love … There may still be a few


    weeks until the blood moon , but my time was over .
