Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Raven POV

I’m on edge. It’s been a week, and still no sign of hunters. Hades has done everything to reassure me, but I’m less than comforted. All I can hear is my mother’s voice inside my head.

They’re coming, Raven. They’re corning for you. You have to be prepared. You need to save your pack. No matter what, don’t let down your guard or the people you love, the people who matter most will die, right in front of your eyes.

It’s a warning I don’t intend to ignore. Whatever anybody else thinks, I know with certainty that the hunters will be here and that devastation will follow in their wake if I fail to stop them.

“Penny for your thoughts,” Hades interrupts, and I smile at him gratefully, his arms wrapping tightly around me as I relax into his grip, sniffing his familiar scent and grounding myself.

“I’m just worried,” I told him, even as he tightened his arms, a sigh escaping his lips.

We’d been through this before, but I wasn’t going to stop being so stubborn. Dream or no dream, I knew what I had heard was a prophecy of the future. Why didn’t he get it?

“We’ve gone over this. Nothing is going to happen. You had a dream when you were in a coma, that’s all,” he tried to placate me, but I wasn’t having it.

“It wasn’t a dream, Hades! It was real,” I growled, my voice heated, my eyes flashing.

My mother appeared to me for a reason. The moon goddess was real; she had been real. Even if it was a dream, that didn’t mean it wasn’t a warning to us. We would be stupid to simply put it down to my imagination.

He puts his hands up in surrender. “Okay, okay. But even if it’s real, nothing has happened so far. I promise you we have things well in hand. What will it take for you to relax?” he asked me solemnly.
