Chapter 46
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 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 . Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
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 ?
