Caleb's POV “Raven?” I call again softly, maybe she's in the bathroom. I knock once before pushing the door open. The bathroom is empty no sign of her. The bed still made. The gloves she wore to the performance neatly folded and placed on the bedside table. Her boots are there though, and so is her scent is gone, I can't feel it. It's like she wasn't even here. My chest tightens. No. No, she wouldn’t leave. Not without telling me. Not after how afraid she was. I check the bathroom again, then the closet, then behind the curtains like an idiot. But I already know. She isn’t here. What if he managed to get to her when I left her alone in here? No, this can't be. I don’t even realize I am running until I am halfway down the stairs, barking orders through the mind-link. 'Beatrice is gone. She’s not in her room. I want every patrol on alert.' I command. She couldn’t have left the compound without someone seeing her. 'Is that bastard still there brother?' I ask
Mason's POV “Beatrice.” My body betrays me when I see her, I stand against my will. She's here, right here in front of me. My heart leaps in joy, my mouth dries up. She looks spectacular, she looks different. I want to run to her, but she runs away. Zahra pulls me down bringing me to my senses. “What the heck, Mason.” She mutters under her breath, but I can clearly hear her. My eyes are glued to the direction she ran towards. I must get her back, I must. I get up again, pulling off Zahra's clutch and run, ignoring everything. I run so fast so I can catch up to her. I look everywhere, but I don't find her. Where is she? It's not a problem, though, now that I know where she is, I must find a perfect reason to go away with her. I can't leave her here, I've suffered for so long. I've tried being with Zahra to forget her, but I haven't been able to. The only solution is having her near me. She must return to Nadine-west, I have to go back with her. I go back to the festival, but
Caleb's POV Jeez! finally, this day is almost over. It's been hell planning it. I haven't had time to breathe properly. I haven't had an opportunity to check on Raven either, I didn't even get to follow up on my promise to teach her. What must she be thinking about me at this time? I'll have to find a tutor for since I'm mostly I'll be too busy with pack duties. I hate being the Beta sometimes. Why does she keep running in my mind though? I haven't been able to stop thinking about her. Raven this... Raven that... even when I try to stop, I can't. Speaking of Raven, there she is, I notice her walking slowly towards the stage. I smile involuntarily, I look around and no one has seen me. My focus is now on her, I feel like somehow I've been refreshed. She's facing the ground though, why? She's shy, we need to get rid of the fear. I almost laugh out loud when she misses her step, she's trying though, she's cute. What's wrong with me, why does her little movements excite me.
Beatrice's POV The next day, I move into the dorm. It's spacious but not as luxurious. Everyone has a room, but there is a common bathroom. So in the morning we have to get up so early to get ready, but that's not a problem for me. I'm used to it, I've been doing it ever since I was a little girl. I woke up earlier than everyone and slept late every single day. I have a study table, a comfortable bed, and I get three meals a day. What more could I ask for. I'm so glad I landed in Blood-howl pack. I'm sure the goddess made me pass through that ordeal just to bring me here. Somehow I feel like I belong here, it's weird but I feel it. I haven't been able to see Caleb often lately, he finishes training and leaves just like that, he hasn't even been able to teach me as he promised? I have a phone and a laptop, but I've never been able to open them. The phone has only Caleb's number, and I'm afraid of calling him. What if he finds me ungrateful? He finishes and leaves, I just fe
Caleb's POV “So you were saying, you know I was sleeping, I had a really long day. You could have just linked me you know, besides my Luna is left all alone now.” Morris says in an annoyed expression. I've always teased him, but today, I'm actually disturbed. "Wait a minute, is my brother that worried that you can't joke? This is serious." He takes a seat on his throne and I bow in respect. I explain about Raven's mate, and how it affected her I tell him everything that I know so far about her. He looks at me for a bit, “I knew something was off about her, what we need to find out now is the actual name of the mate, we need to investigate her. I don't want my pack to fall into the arms of a spy.” He says in a serious tone. That's what made him perfect over us, his passion for Blood-howl pack. “You think Beatrice might be a spy?” I ask, what if it's true, and I indulged her. “Not really, but there's something sketchy about her, didn't you notice the tattoo she had the fir
Caleb's POV Did I just release my breath? Is she making me nervous? Jeez! She holds so much power despite being so small. Shit, I forgot her present in the car. I rush to the car and back to her room. There's something that's pushing me to help her, I don't know what, but for some reason, I want her to shine. I take a few breaths before knocking on the door. “Just a minute.” Her voice rings from the other side of the door. The door creaks open, revealing her, she blows my mind for sure. Her smile so warm and inviting, her eyes always wide and expressionless. “Raven, you...” I say, unable to finish my statement. I don't want her to think otherwise of me. She looks breathtaking, I try so hard to stop myself from grabbing her. She has the same maroon dress on. I wish I never came back here tonight. I try so hard to tame my wolf Fenric because he's a beast at these things. When we find an attractive female we just pounce on them no questions asked, but I can't do tha
