Raven's Return (The Daughter of Medusa Sequel)

Chapter 8

Chrys POV~

Man, today was a lot. I'm beat. After Raven's speech, I gave everyone a tour of the house. I only showed them the rooms they had access to. After the tour, I showed them to their rooms. Some decided they wanted to share rooms.

I had no problem with it, made things easier for me. They all freshened up and met me again in the dining room for dinner. Alex and Raven decided not to join us tonight. I did want to catch up with my little sister, but she needed to tend to her mate. Five years is a long time.

I don't think I could be away from Sarah for five minutes without talking to her, let alone five years. That would kill me.

On cue, Sarah came into our room.

"Hey, I was just thinking about-"

"Cut the crap Chrys."

I've done it now, "Okay, I know that you're upset that I didn't tell you about Michael and his pack coming here. But let me explain."

"You forgot to tell more than just that. You didn't tell me that we had to take them in, and that we're training them. Nor, did you tell me about Raven! That especially would've been nice to know!"

"Okay you're right. I'm sorry, I should've told you sooner. But if I had told you, could you honestly tell me that you would've been okay with it?"

She contemplated for a second, then sighed.

"Okay you have a point. But you could've told me about Raven."

"So, you could hide every chance you got? No way. The two of you need to hash this out if we're going to be a functional pack. The minute the enemy sees we don't work as one, they will use that to their advantage and wipe us out. I refuse to let the legacy and honor my father bestowed upon me, be destroyed by lowly rouges."

She stayed silent. I grabbed her hand, "I understand why you're afraid. But you know I'm right. Just give her space and let her do her thing. You'll know when the time is right."

She gave a slight smile, I put my hand under her chin and brought her closer to my lips. I gave her a slow gentle kiss. She kissed me back. Her lips have always been so soft, it's hard to resist her.

She gently pushed me on the bed. She then climbed on top of me and started kissing my neck. I put my hands under her shirt and rubbed her back. When I got to her bra, I unhooked each row.

She suddenly stopped and looked me in my eyes, "I want to finish the mating ritual."

I was shocked. She was really firm about waiting until marriage to complete the ritual. This is a huge step.

"Are you sure? What about marriage?"

"If we complete the ritual, marriage is a guarantee." She took her shirt and bra off, I could see the incomplete marking on her chest.

"Make me yours Chrys. I'm ready."

I flipped over, now I was on top of her. "I'll ask one more time. Are you sure?"

She nodded, "I'm ready."

~The Next day, Ravens POV~

Bzz Bzz Bzz

I turned my alarm off and stretched. I looked to my right and there was Alex. He looked so peaceful sleeping. I kissed him on his forehead and went to my kitchen.

After the meeting yesterday, me and Alex came back to my house. I gave him a tour and we talked about what's been going on with us for the last five years.

He told me how Alex and Beau split the responsibility as Alpha's of the Pack. They've been getting lots of new recruits. Everything seems good.

When I talked about my time in the human world, he was fascinated. He's never been to the human world before. Apparently, no one has, except for me and my brothers. I think I'll take him there one day.

I decided to make some breakfast. I haven't cooked for anyone in a long time. I made scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a small fruit salad.

Once I finished cooking, I loaded everything on a huge tray, and carefully took it upstairs. When I made it back to my room, Alex was still sleeping. I sat the tray on the bed and kissed his cheek.

"Wake up sleepy head. Breakfast is ready."

He sniffed the air and opened his eyes. He stretched and turned to look at me. "Good morning beautiful." He looked at the display in front of him. "This looks amazing! You've never cooked for me before."

"Well, there's a first for everything. Eat up, we have a busy day ahead of us."

He dug into the French toast; I could tell he was very pleased. I've never had any complaints about my cooking.

"You like it?"

"I love it! It's so soft, so sweet. It doesn't even need syrup. You are truly a Goddess."

I blushed, "Thank you. If I decide to stay at the Pack house tonight, I'll make dinner."

I took off my pajamas and put on a pair of grey leggings, A black tank top and my black air forces.

"Do you not plan on staying at the pack house?"

I froze. I still haven't told him I'm not staying permanently.

"Um, not really. I'm not a member of the pack. Doesn't make sense for me to stay there." That was bullshit, and he knows it.

"Be real with me Raven. Are you, leaving again?"

I gulped. I didn't want to talk about this right now. It's awkward.

"I, I haven't decided yet. Right now, I'm only here, because my father requested my assistance. Once my job is done, I'll decide what to do. I rather we leave it there."

"So, you're only here because of your dad. Got it."

I heard him get out of bed. I turned towards him, "Alex that's not what I meant."

"No, I get it. It's strictly business. I got it."

He proceeded to get dressed, "Alex."

He put his shoes on, "We need to go. Training starts soon."

I sighed, I really put my foot in my mouth this time. I have to make it up to him, I'll figure something out.

~Twenty minutes later, Pack house. Ravens POV~

Ugh, I hated training so early. Especially new people. It's ironic that in my old pack, I wasn't allowed to attend training. Now I'm the one training them. This will be fun.

A few minutes later, everyone came outside. Michaels pack was the first to make it to training. I still can't wrap my head around how he lost so many. When I left, there were at least five hundred of them left. How did five hundred, turn into twenty-five?

Shortly after, Chrys and his pack came outside. Chrys stood next to me, but his pack stood six feet away from Michael and his pack. This will not do.

"May I Chrys?"

"The floor is yours sis."

I took a few steps forward, "Listen up! I know this is still new for everyone! By now you all know who I am, but some of you don't know how powerful I really am! I am very strong alone. But even I have my limits! I can't do everything on my own! Neither can you!"

There were murmuring and whispers throughout everyone.

"You all have to learn to work together, or you will die. Simple as that! Michael!"

He jumped a little, then stood forward, "Yes ma'am!"

"Your pack is no more! You are part of the dawn pack now! Until you learn how to use your alpha voice more efficiently, you're an omega. All of you are!"

They didn't like that. They started to get a little rowdy, even Michael looked a little irritated.

I smirked, "If any of you have a problem with your ranking, by all means let me know. But understand by doing so, you're questioning my judgment and leadership. Now, I don't usually take too kindly to that. But I'll humor those of you who wish to speak up. If you don't agree with your ranking, step forward."

At first, no one moved. Three people stepped up.

"Only three of you?" I grew an evil smirk, "How delightful."
