Cracked

"He was an angel, craving chaos, she was a demon, seeking peace"

Raven's POV

Mate
Mate! Mine!
I- I didn't understand. He was my mate? Him?
He looks so... big
That's what I noticed about a lot of the people here... they were massive and muscly.

"Mine" he growled darkly, his grip was so tight around me I could barely breathe
"Uh... Micah?" Some girl by the door asked, she was stood next to Blossom and Sin
"Get your fucking hands off my daughter" Alexander seethed.

Daughter...
"Yeah come on Micah, we should all talk" the girl said softly, she was beautiful
She was bright and blonde, with shining blue eyes and rosy cheeks
The... the complete opposite of me.

Who is she?
Is she his girlfriend?
Mate ours!
Mark mate!
Claim mate!

I didn't know what I was feeling, but the emotions running through me and my wolf shouting loudly in my head for the first time... ever, was all too overwhelming
They were right, he was mine. He is mine!

Blossom's POV

I was overjoyed for Micah, he'd always wanted to find his mate, it must have been a shock for him though
I mean he's still 17, he can only feel it because Raven's 18. But I was still happy.

They seemed like the perfect couple if you really thought about it. Opposites attract after all.
"Fucking hell... what'd he do to deserve her?" Toby laughed, earning a glare from Alexander and Sin, ducking his head down like a scolded child.

"You're mine" my head snapped back to the sight before us, hearing Raven talk so... demonically
And the next thing I knew she was transforming, changing into... her demon.

I had never seen her demon before, and somehow it was even more intimidating than how she normally looked, but so powerful as well.
Micah stepped back slightly, shocked at what she had turned into
Him and Quinn weren't aware of the entire situation yet.

"What the-"
"Hey what's going on..." Mags trailed off, standing shocked next to Toby as we watched Raven change.

"You're mine" Raven seethed, stalking towards Micah until she had him caged in the corner
"Micah?" I called softly
His eyes flickered over to me, and all I saw was terror.

"Mine!" Raven shouted, hissing at me as her wings flared up
"Y-yeah... I know Raven... Micah, y- you need to assure her" I stumbled over my words, pushing myself into Sin's arms for protection.

"What?" He asked confused
"What the fuck?" Warren breathed out, appearing next to Mags
"You belong to me" Raven said lowly
He looked at me and Quinn, so I nodded, encouraging him to calm her down
"Yeah... yeah that's right, I'm all yours, and you're all mine, okay?" He asked a bit shakily.

"Tell her that!" She sneered, sparing a glaring glance back at Quinn
She was... jealous? Of Quinn?
"What? She- she's nothing" Micah said immediately
"Oh... thanks" Quinn grumbled, rolling her eyes.

"No I mean, she's just a friend, she has her own mate okay? I don't want her, I want you" he said, Raven's wing fell gently, and her face softened slightly
"Me?" She asked
He nodded
"Only you baby" he said, never breaking eye contact with her.

There was a ghost of a smile on her face, before Alexander interrupted
"I think we should talk about this eh?" He asked, but more like asserted
He was right though, they did need to talk.

Raven wasn't connected to her wolf properly, and she wasn't fully informed about the mate bond
Or everything that came with it
She was only supposed to be here temporarily, and wolves usually moved to their mate's pack.

So what was Raven going to do?
"No. I want Micah" she said, her voice was giving me chills.
I could understand it though
When a wolf finds their mate a lot of them revert to wolf form
They're so overpowered by the bond they have no control over it.

But Raven had never shifted, so she'd reverted to her... scary demon form.
"What- uh, what are you?" Micah asked, gaze raking over her curiously
"Your mate" she said darkly
"No I mean- the wings... the horns..." he trailed off.

Her face dropped and her eyes darkened
"You are scared" she stated
"You don't want me... you- you're rejecting me" she said even lower, her nails extending into claws and her eyes flushing red.

"No I'm not-"
"Because of her?!" She seethed, turning to face Quinn
"No of course not, look at m-"
"Mine!" She shouted, heading towards Quinn angrily.

"Sin?" I called scared
Quinn squeaked in fear and ran from the living room, with Mags hot on her heels to protect her, whilst Alexander and Sin intercepted Raven before she could leave
"Let me go!" She ordered, throwing Alexander against a wall.

"Fuck" Sin let out, watching Alexander slump to the ground limp
"Baby? Go get a doctor, Warren, Toby?... help me" Sin ordered, I nodded, running from the room and pushing my legs as far as they'd go to get to the pack house.

Sin's POV

I focused as much as I could on my demon, letting him out again and trying to keep control this time.
The cracking feeling of my wings and the horns was more intense than changing into my wolf.
Probably because it was all still new to me.

Raven was strong, especially in her demon form. So I needed to match that.
Warren came to stand beside me, a blank expression painted on his face but I could see the shock in his eyes.
"Toby? Help us" I said again.

He scoffed
"Fuck that. I have my whole life ahead of me, it was nice knowing you" he said, running away into the kitchen
Fuck sake. At least if he's in there he can keep mom safe.

"Move" she said simply
"No, focus on Micah, he's already told you Quinn means nothing" I explained
She chuckled darkly
"Quinn? Pretty name... shame it'll only be read off a gravestone" she said, her demon was clearly in control.

Even Raven wasn't this irrational
"Micah?" I growled lightly, he snapped out of his daze, he had just been staring at her
"What?" He asked
"Tell her. Tell her how you feel, that she's the only one you want" Warren urged through gritted teeth.

He stepped forward, slowly and hesitantly took Raven's face in his hands, as she kept slightly shaking from the contact
"She's nothing alright, you are my mate. You are the one I want. The one I crave.
You're so fucking perfect baby" he said quietly, watching her face fall at his words.

"Eve-... even like this?" She asked, her voice breaking, eyes losing the red hues
He nodded
"Especially like this" he smiled
I clicked Blossom and the doctor in the doorway, subtly holding my hand out behind me so he could pass me the syringe.

I hated having to do it. But she needed controlling right now.
I stepped forward, injecting the side of her neck as her and Micah's eyes widened in shock, before he caught her as she fell, softly drifting into sleep.

"What the fuck did you do?" Micah growled at me from the floor
"Protecting everyone" I growled back, walking over to dad to check on him
"What was it?" He asked frantically, holding Raven close to him.

"A sedative, just to calm her. She'll be fine in a few hours" the doctor said, nearing me to help me pick dad's unconscious body up.

Blossom's POV

Micah looked distraught, holding his fast asleep mate in his arms, she had slowly transformed back, she was obviously relaxed enough...

I watched Sin and the pack doctor carry Alexander out of the room.
Before I walked towards Micah and crouched down beside him
"Are you okay?" I asked
"I met her 15 minutes ago Bloss. And now she's unconscious... I don't even know her fucking name" he said sadly, cradling her to his chest.

I smiled
"Her names Raven, she's 18, Sin's sister... she's half demon..." I explained, sighing before my next words
"And she definitely feels the bond" I chuckled.

"His sister?" He asked confused, I nodded, as Quinn walked back in and sat on the floor next to me, also confused
"Yeah, long story, but you should focus on her first" I said, he nodded, looking back down at her.

She looked almost... peaceful when she was asleep
"Sorry Micah" Quinn muttered, he shook his head
"There's nothing to apologise for, wasn't your fault was it?" he chuckled.

"You want me to show you to her room?" I asked, he nodded, standing up with her scooped in his arms
"My little Raven" he mumbled, still staring down at her, making me smile.

"Aw it's always so sweet when someone finds their mate" Quinn gushed as she sipped her tea
"Sweet? Dads in hospital and the devil child's knocked out" Toby said
I gave him a look
"What? It's true" he said
"She's not a devil" I said simply.

He shrugged
"Nah you're right, she's a peach, I'm sure the wedding will be great" he smiled, toasting his mug in the air... idiot
"Moron" Sim grumbled, smacking Toby upside the head as he entered the kitchen.

"Hey baby" he greeted, picking me up from my chair as he sat himself in it, placing me in his lap
I smiled at him
"Is your dad okay?" I asked
He sighed
"2 broken ribs, broken arm and a concussion" he reeled off.

"Oh my gosh" I gasped
"Fucking hell" Quinn chimed in
"Does that mean I have the house to myself tonight?" Toby beamed
"Can you never just be serious?" Sin snapped annoyed, he shrugged
"Dad wouldn't want me to cry or shit" he said simply, as if Alexander wasn't here anymore.

"He's not dead" Quinn exclaimed
"And yet it feels so empty in the house, it's like he was here just yesterday" Toby said sadly
"Dickhead" Sin seethed, throwing an apple from the bowl at him, which he swiftly ducked.

I noticed that was a certain skill of Toby's
Then there was a banging at the door, before we heard it open, footsteps resonating throughout the hallway
"Doll?" I heard a familiar voice.

Then, he appeared in the doorway... Sawyer
"Baby" Quinn smiled
"What's the matter? What's the emergency?" He asked worriedly, striding over to her and checking her over for injuries.

•

"I'm sorry" Sin said randomly, after everything had been sorted out...
Meaning Alexander was in hospital, Micah was left with Raven, and Sawyer had practically carried Quinn home... we were able to go home as well.

And as I put my coat up, ready to just fall into bed, Sun uttered those two little words that now confused me to no end
"What?" I asked
"I'm sorry" he mumbled, leaning his forehead against mine.

"Why?" I asked, he didn't do anything
"It's you're birthday... and now it's ruined" he said softly, I cupped his cheeks, looking up at him.
Sure we didn't get to have dinner, or spend much time together as Raven was at everyone's throats.

But it was... eventful, and I'm glad her and Micah have found each other
I'd miss a simple birthday dinner a thousand times over if it meant a wolf could find their mate.

"Don't be, today was... a little weird" I chuckled
"But it was still perfect... you're perfect" I added, placing a small kiss on his lips before pulling away
"And besides... the day isn't over yet" I said, trying my best to sound seductive but I'm sure it just came out innocent and stupid as I trailed up the stairs.

He caught on and smirked at me, before he began to chase me and I couldn't help but squeal as I ran faster up the steps to get away.

•

"Happy birthday baby" Sin mumbled against my hair, my face tucked away in his neck as we lay under the sheets
I smiled, this was it. This was all I wanted
Just us, wrapped up together while he whispered little things in my ear.

"Sin?" I asked quietly, he hummed, waiting for me to go on
"The ceremony... it accepts me into the pack..."
He chuckled sleepily
"That's generally how it works baby" he smiled, eyes closed.

"But... I'll have to do the acceptance trials soon... I just- I was just wondering what we're going to do" I explained
At this his eyes opened, and he stared down at me concerned.

"What do you want to do?" He asked
"I- I think we should tell them, they'll find out eventually, and I'd rather earn my way into the pack than create some lie of why I can't do the trials, they'll all think I cheated my way out of it" I explained.

"Fuck what they think, what do you want?" He asked again
"I want to tell them" I said confidently
"I want to trust our people, embrace who I am. And we'll... we'll deal with the threats when they occur. Together" I suggested.

He smiled wider
"You're such a Luna" he chuckled, making my own smile appear
"Really?" I asked
"Yeah, putting the pack before yourself, putting your trust in them... you're a Luna already baby" he said.

So, I know in other stories the age thing might be different, where they both have to be 18 to realise they're mates, or they're both 16
But everyone has different takes on werewolves and the mate bond so, this is just my version of it 😙✌🏼
