Beloved

Chapter 40

"What the fuck just happened?" Gabe whispered as Raven rocked Alyona even though she was asleep. "I have NEVER seen Nathan's Ripper side disappear that fucking quickly before. Normally it takes him fucking hours or days before he can calm him down to control him."

"That's Kitten," Raven smiled proudly. "She calm my Ripper."

"You have a Ripper Raven?" Corey asked shocked. "I thought you liked to massacre just for the fun of it."

"Da," Raven admitted, "but have Ripper too. Kitten help control before she taken away."

"Those times you were gone for weeks on end with no contact after you'd come home from visiting your parents," Axel said as realization hit.

"Da," Raven nodded, "lost control nyet find Kitten."

"I never thought we would have two Rippers in the family," Nathan smirked. "That explains a lot actually on why you never pushed for me to calm down like they would try. They didn't understand like you did."

"Da," Raven nodded.

"So exactly happened?" Owen asked. "I thought you weren't going to confront him yet."

"I don't know," Nathan admitted, "just the thought of what Luke saw and said he was going to do just kept messing with me. I had to confront him on it, I asked Luke to take me and not say anything in case he wasn't there. I saw him standing there all smug and I just snapped."

"When I saw he was losing it I came and got you," Luke admitted.

"So was anyone else freaking the fuck out when she just walked right over to Nathan like it was fucking nothing that he was goddamn destroying the house?" Gabe asked shocked.

"I was worried," Luke nodded.

"Nyet me," Raven smirked.

"Of course not," Corey rolled his eyes. "So what did she do? I mean I saw her place her hand on his cheek but like what happened? Nathan just calmed down like almost instantly."

"Kitten calm Ripper," Raven shrugged. "Nyet explain, just calm him down."

"Yeah," Nathan nodded, "I was full of so much rage, I was worried I was going to hurt her but she had no fear in her eyes at all. The moment her hand touched me, all the red and rage just faded away. I don't know what she did but she is right, all the darkness in me is now gone."

"So no more Ripper?" Sean asked curiously.

"No, he's still there," Nathan shook his head. "But, I don't know, it's like—"

"He's sleeping like volcano," Raven tried to explain.

"Interesting," Axel said watching them. The peace he saw in Raven he could see something very similar in Nathan now. "She somehow made the beasts dormant."

"Da, that," Raven nodded.

"Wonder what other powers she has," North chuckled.

Raven chuckled then stopped when she whined at his movements, "Sorry Kitten," he whispered, "Sleep, I be still." The group smirked at the cute moment.

"So Raven, we know she has visions and now she can tame Rippers, anything else you want to tell us?" Sean asked.

Raven smirked, "Kitten part witch."

"Excuse me?" Gabe asked shocked, "what the fuck did you just say? She's a fucking hybrid? So fucking cool, how the hell could you not tell us that before?"

Raven shrugged, "Didn't think about it. Kitten nyet like people knowing."

"Because it made her an even bigger target," Owen said, and Raven nodded. "That's understandable."

"Which elemental power does she have?" Kota asked.

"All."

"What?" Kota asked shocked. "I thought witches only had one or two elemental powers."

Raven shrugged, "Kitten make things grow, light fire, control water, play with air, bend metal, do lots things when want. Nyet know she practice since taken, haven't asked."

"We have a goddamn fucking goddess as our beloved," Gabe beamed. "Like fucking hell."

"We already knew that Gabe," Luke rolled his eyes but smirked, "I mean she has to be a goddess to put up with Raven after all."

"Enough," Axel shook his head. "We don't want to wake her, she needs the rest."

"How are you doing Nathan?" Kota asked.

"I'm fine," Nathan shrugged. "Seriously, I'm okay, I promise."

"You seem...happier," Brandon said after watching him for a few minutes.

"I am," Nathan admitted.

"What do you want to do with the place?" Owen asked.

"Burn it for all I care," Nathan shrugged. "It's nothing to me. Do whatever you want with it, I don't care."

"Okay," Owen nodded as he wrote something down.

"Hey Raven?" Corey asked curiously. Raven looked at him so Corey cleared his throat, "is she going to be mad that you told us about her magical powers? I mean if she didn't want people to know, is she going to be upset that you told us?"
