"Touch you, Kitten?" Raven asked as he climbed into the backseat of his truck since it was abundantly clear that she wasn't going to release her death grip on him, not that he minded one bit.

"Nyet," she murmured into his chest. "Veles got between us and he didn't like that. Misha showed up before he could do anything besides talk. Ava?"

"Stuck to Vlad like you, Sweetheart," Corey admitted. "Egor is driving them back to the house."

"He got really mad when I called Papa by his name," she murmured. "But Papa told me to."

"Da," Raven nodded as he rubbed her back. "You call him by name okay, guards nyet say."

"Misha didn't get mad when I said it," she admitted.

"Da," Raven nodded. "Misha good guard."

She sat up and whimpered as she took in Raven's darker than normal eyes, "He wasn't talking about Papa when he said Boss wanted me, did he, Yevgeny?"

Raven let out a soft growl as he pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes, "Nyet lie Kitten, nyet," he shook his head, "he nyet talk about Father."

Even though she already knew the answer a gasp left her as her eyes widened. "He tried to take me like those other guys. Oh goddess," she murmured as she dropped her head to his chest and clutched his shirt. "Oh goddess if Misha and Veles...if you didn't show...no..." she whimpered as her mind began to spiral and her chest tightened.

"Shhh Kitten," Raven cooed in her hair as he rubbed her back. "Nyet worry, I have you. I protect Kitten. You safe, promise."

"Don't let me go," she whimpered. "Don't leave me."

"Never," he promised as he tightened his grip around her. He looked into the mirror and saw Corey watching back. Corey lifted his phone slightly and Raven nodded, knowing that the rest of the family and Vlad, Lev, and Egor were listening in. "Never leave you, Kitten, promise."

She let out a soft whimper and pressed into him more. He kissed the top of her head before looking out the window. "Misha okay?"

"Misha is fine," Corey comforted her. "Doc is going to look at him once we get there just to be safe but he didn't look like he had a scratch on him when we left. Now the other guy, he is definitely hurt. Your puppy got him real good, Sweetheart."

"Luke said Egor was making him pretty again," she murmured, "did he bite him?"

"Lots," Raven admitted. "Veles did good."

"Good," she whispered. "Where is he?"

"South take him to dog doctor," Raven told her, "just make sure your puppy okay. Nyet see wounds but know you want make sure and Father make sure. Father tell South go special puppy doctor he know. He bring Veles back when sure all okay."

"Tell him and Papa thank you," she whispered. "Yevgeny?"

"Hmmm?"

"Sleepy but scared," she barely whispered.

"Sleep, Kitten," he whispered back. "I hold you. I protect you."

"I know. I'm safe with all of you," she murmured as she finally let sleep take her. Raven looked out the window and let out a heavy sigh.

"That was awfully bold of him," Corey whispered as he focused on the road.

"Da," Raven agreed. "Lucky Misha had him. I kill him."

"That's why Misha got him taken care of before you did," Corey chuckled. "Your father wouldn't have been able to get information out of him if you handled it."

Raven just grunted before dropping his head back to rest on the seat. He closed his eyes and let out a low growl as he continued rubbing the small woman's back in his lap. He was really craving murder and blood right now but she was more important than his bloodlust. He swore to protect her the moment he heard her laugh when Uncle called all those months ago. His obsession turned even more the moment he laid eyes on her and now someone was trying to take her away from him. It wasn't going to happen, he would make sure of it one way or another.

Corey put the truck in park and opened the back door. Raven carefully got out and carried her inside without waking her. He placed her in his bed and after Corey tucked her in, he forced himself to walk out of the room. Everything was screaming at him to stay right by her side but he knew he had to talk to his father about what happened.

He grabbed Ivan and shoved him into the wall right by his door. He pointed at it then growled, "Go inside, no one enter except us. Stay where she see you, nyet scare her."

"Da," Ivan nodded as Raven released his hold. He watched as Ivan took his chair from his desk and placed it beside the bed where the lamp shone on him. He sat and placed his gun on his thigh. Being satisfied, Raven clenched his fists and forced himself to walk towards his father's office.

"Sooner we talk, sooner we can get back to her," Corey mumbled as he laced his fingers with the Russian's. "Just keep thinking about that."

The guard stepped to the side as Raven and Corey walked up to the door. Raven walked inside with Corey at his side and he noticed Misha being looked over by Sean and the rest of the family was standing around. Victor had a laptop open and Raven could see North's face on the screen. The door opened and Raven turned to see Vlad, Lev, and Egor walking in with equally livid faces.

"Guard by door?" Nikolai asked.

"Da, Sven," Lev nodded.

"Alexsi by mine," Raven nodded.

"Daughters okay?" Nikolai asked.

"Scared but da," Raven nodded, "Misha and Veles protect good."

"Good," Nikolai nodded seconds before he slammed his fists onto the desk. "How this happen? I call everyone, all deny work for them! Nyet want him after he touch women against will! He blacklist! How he get close to daughters? How?!"

"What exactly are you saying, Mr. Ravenstahl?" Owen asked as he adjusted his tie. "Are you stating that you have reached out to all your associates and enemies and no one is claiming that that man works for them? That he has been blacklisted from everyone?"

"Da," Nikolai nodded as he ran his fingers through his disheveled hair. "All like Olivia! All love her! Noone want her taken! They send men after uncle even though I already handle it! All offer send help look for who put out order. Just make call, no one want Olivia hurt. She hurt she make no more music movies. No make sense this happen."

Owen cleaned his glasses then pushed them back on his face, "Apparently you have an enemy you don't know about, Nikolai. I suggest you make that call."
