Unraveling Raven

He lowers us and kisses me until I'm breathless before piercing me with his gaze.

"You've mated with the man and now the wolf, there will be no more running-"

I feel bewitched as he speaks, I can't tear my eyes away. I'm too captivated by his demeanour and Alpha's presence to comprehend everything he says, but the ending sentence is what makes my breath come to a halt.

"I am yours and you are mine Mate, you belong to me."

Raven is the embodiment of independence.
She takes pride in taking down men twice her size. Always, she has been a closed book. When her mother passed, that book was locked up and buried.

Almost instantly, she threw herself into her work and devoted herself to her pack.
When Elijah turns up, she immediately turns him down. Refusing to even give him a chance. She claims she has no time for a mate.

If love failed her once, it will fail again, right?

Elijah has acquired the title 'Gentle Giant'.
His appearance and demeanour causes people to assume he is nothing less than a heartless killer.
But his heart is as warm as a Christmas fireplace, the perfect leader for a pack.

Longing for someone to hold for as long as he can remember, he's starting to wonder if destiny has forgotten about him.
When he meets Raven, he is in awe as soon as he lays eyes on her, but he realises she's on the brink of rejecting him to maintain her image of independence. Never has he met someone so stubborn but intoxicating.

When the Clove pack is being targeted by trained assassins, and no longer your everyday rouges, Elijah has no choice but to seek out someone with more experience.
Sparks fly, but rejection is on the line.

Some people have to be taught how to love and how love should be, how it should feel.

Can Elijah show her that the grass is truly greener on his side?
