Raven's P.O.V.
I woke up under the covers but I remember falling asleep on top of them. Alec must have done this. I stretched and sat up. I was a little sad when I saw that he wasn't laying beside me but I got up and walked downstairs. I smelled something amazing... bacon. I followed the scent into the kitchen. David was over the stove, cooking, and I walked over to him.
"Did you make any for me?" I asked, sitting on the island counter.
"Always do." he said, handing me a piece of bacon.
"Damnit David, you still make the best bacon ever." I laughed.
"Well, thanks. You always enjoyed it. Although now I can't tell if you actually like it or if you were just lying to me." I stared at him.
"I have never lied to you." I said, taken aback.
"Raven, I've known you for seventeen years and not once did I ever pick up the scent of you being a wolf. Now, either you were really good at hiding it or something happened that you are not telling me about..." he looked at me.
"David... you can't freak out.. or tell Alec." I looked at him.
"Alright. I promise." I took in a breath, looked around and then back at David. I let go of the breath and moved my shirt off my shower, exposing the bite mark. David's eyes went huge and he stared at it.
"That's not a mate mark." he said.
"No shit."
"You were turned?" I shook my head.
"Yep. A guy Lucas did it."
"From Cameron's pack?! Holy shit, what about Cameron? What happen to him?" I closed my eyes. Flashes of Cameron beating me came back and I wanted to cry... but I couldn't. I looked up at David.
"Cameron hit me." David's eyes turned black.
"What?" he growled.
"We thought we were mates until he started acting like an ass so I went to reject him, but was unable to cause he punched me. He hit me hard over twenty times before my wolf took over and got me away from him." My body was shaking my the end of my story. David stepped forward but I stepped back. "David, no I'm fine." I said.
"Bullshit. Come here." He stepped towards me with open arms, and I gladly stepped in them. Wrapping his arms around me like old times, he rocked me side to side and stroked my back. "We'll take care him. I'm going to make sure he never hurts you again." David said into my ear. With my mate finally with me and David back, I knew that I was safe.
David was just about to let go when I felt him being torn off me and heard a crashing sounds. I looked up as he slid down the wall, the picture frame behind him shattered. I stepped forward to help him but I was restrained by Alec. I looked up at him but his face was contorted with fury.
"Alec, what is it?" I said. Touching his arm, I could feel his heartbeat drumming down his arm.
"Who hit you?" he growled, almost too deep for me to understand.
"What? How did you-" I started.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I had a back ending to a friendship with a Exile. He got a little jealous and started hitting me." Alec growled and wrapped his arm around me. He glared at David.
"And when were you planning on telling me?" Alec said.
"In my defense Alpha, she had just told me. I wanted to comfort her before I ran off and told you." Alec growled again.
