CHAPTER 78RAVEN’S POVThe room was too quiet after Damien left—the kind of quiet that pierced through your ears, one that gave you access to every sound. Damien promised he’d be back. I had begged him for some time alone. I needed time to process my thoughts and everything else. The fact that I had to remain here without Mira. I was grateful for Damien—for his comfort, his presence.There was a time where Damien and I couldn’t stand being in tge same room together. Now… The silence he left behind felt wrong. I sat on the edge of my bed, Mira’s letter still clutched in my hands. The parchment had begun to wrinkle where my fingers held it too tightly, but I couldn’t bring myself to loosen my grip.Her words echoed in my head.I love you, Raven.My chest tightened again.For a moment, I simply stared at the floor, trying to steady my breathing. My eyes burned from crying, but the tears had finally stopped.Not because the p

CHAPTER 77DAMIEN’S POVI burst the doors to the chambers open. I had told Raven to call my name if she wanted to leave. I had sat in countless meetings with the Elders; I knew their words could be overbearing. But she didn’t need that now—not when she had just lost Mira. I wanted her to know that I could come get her out if she felt suffocated and couldn’t leave. And although she hadn’t called for me I felt it through the bond. I felt her.The panic.The anger.The betrayal.It hit me like a violent wave, knocking the air from my lungs even before I moved.The moment I stepped inside, every Elder turned toward me in outrage.My eyes went straight to Raven.Seeing her, I knew I was right to have opened the door.She stood in the center of the room, rigid. Her fists were clenched at her sides. Her breathing uneven.But it was her eyes that did it. She looked hurt—shattered—like she was about to break down but was only ho

CHAPTER 76RAVEN’S POV Orion suggested we returned to the palace to talk after breaking it to him that Adrian shown up. But I refused to leave Mira on the cold ground. Damien took Rowan aside to tell him what had happened with Mira. He thought it was best if Rowan heard it from him, but I couldn’t understand why. It wasn’t as though they were anything other than Master and Slave. Orion called two post guard to lift Mira’s body.When they moved her, something inside me cracked.“I’m going with her,” I said.“No,” Orion replied firmly. “You need to return to the palace. The Elders are already gathering.”“I don’t care about the Elders,” I whispered.But he stepped closer, lowering his voice. “You are Alpha. You cannot face them covered in blood.”I looked down at myself then. Mira’s blood had dried against my skin.I swallowed hard.I wanted to go with her. I wanted to kneel beside her one last time. I wanted to ap

CHAPTER 75DAMIEN’S POVAdrian was ruthless, calculative, and manipulative. But it wasn’t just him. It was the entire Nightshroud pack. I had read tales about them growing up—their people and even their leaders. When they wanted something they got it, even if it meant taking it by force. So when those words left his mouth, I wasn’t shocked. “She is Nightshroud,” he said, gesturing to Iris. I didn’t know Iris, but I had seen her a few times in the palace. “Mira knew,” Adrian added casually. “Or at least she suspected.” “That’s impossible,” Raven said, her voice already losing composure. “You are lying.” “Am I?” He replied smoothly. “I don’t think so, darling. If I were lying, why was she within the hunting grounds?” “You are twisting this,” Raven shot back defensively. “You crossed my boarders and trespassed on a sacred night, and you think I am going to believe anything you say when you are clea

CHAPTER 74RAVEN’S POVScreams tore through the air, and my eyes blinked open. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. I was cold and confused as to where I was. Then everything came rushing back, and my blood ran cold. I stilled. Then I felt strong arms warpped around me, grounding me. I looked up and I saw Damien’s forest green eyes staring back at me. A storm of emotions passed through his eyes but I couldn’t decipher any of it. All my mind would allow me focus on was one thing. I had killed Mira. She was dead because of me. Another scream tore through the forest, and this time it was louder than before. I felt it then. “He is here,” I said slowly. “Who?” Damien asked. But the moment the question left his mouth, he stiffened when he realized who it was I was talking about. Adrian.He was here.And one way or another he had crossed the border without

CHAPTER 73 DAMIEN’S POV Before the hunt, Kiara had come to remind me about the fact that I had to mark her. At first, it hadn’t seemed like a difficult thing to do I might not have had feelings for Kiara, but she was betrothed to me and it was a marriage of duty. But now, I was struggling. I couldn’t name the sudden distress I felt at the thought that I had to mark her has mine forever. The closer it got to the time of the hunt, the more pressure I felt about the whole situation. I didn’t just feel distress. I felt anger. I felt hurt. It was supposed to be my first hunt The moment Raven stepped within the parameters of the forest, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She looked like she was made to rule. Raven finally declared the hunt open, my wolf had been on edge since the moon started to rise. It was a full moon so it had that effect. The moment she declared the hunt open, I shifted but I had to tam
