로그인Caleb's POV I feel uneasy. I can't really explain it, but something doesn't sit right with me. The feeling has been following me since we arrived at Raven's family's home, and the more I try to ignore it, the stronger it becomes. I feel like Raven's family doesn't like me, especially her brothers. I don't know why I keep thinking about it. Maybe I'm imagining things. Maybe I'm simply being paranoid. But every time I look at them, that little voice in the back of my head whispers the same thing. *They don't want you here.* I shake my head, trying to get rid of the thought. I can't stay trapped in my own head. The truth is, I'm incredibly happy for Raven. After everything she's been through, she's finally surrounded by people who love her. Her biological parents are here. Her brothers adore her. She has a family, a real family, and knowing that she's safe makes me feel like I can finally breathe. I just wish I could stop feeling like an intruder. I lie on my bed staring at the
Raven’s POV After dinner, I try to clear the table, but everyone immediately disagrees. “Absolutely not,” Mum says, gently taking the plate from my hands. “You are a guest.” “A guest?” I laugh. “But this is my family.” “And that is exactly why you shouldn't be working on your first night home,” Hans says, earning a laugh from everyone. Before I can argue, Raymond suddenly grabs my hand. “We need to show you something.” “What?” I ask, looking between him and Hans. “You'll see.” Hans and Caleb follow us as Raymond leads me toward another building a short distance from the main house. When we reach the door, Raymond stops. “Close your eyes.” I stare at him suspiciously. “Why?” “Trust me, little sis.” I smile and slowly close my eyes. I feel Raymond take one of my hands, while Caleb gently takes the other. The moment our hands touch, warmth rushes through me. His familiar scent surrounds me, and my heart immediately skips, I smile. Having Caleb beside me somehow makes everythi
Raven's POV I smile after pouring my heart out to my parents. I feel so much lighter now, as though a weight I've carried my entire life has finally been lifted from my shoulders. I want to know everything about my family. I want to know where I came from, what my childhood would have been like, and all the little things I missed while growing up without them. "Do I have any siblings, Mum?" I ask. The word *Mum* still feels strange on my tongue. But I know I'll get used to it. Maybe one day, saying it will feel as natural as breathing. "Yes, my darling." Mum smiles warmly. "You have two brothers. Hans and Raymond." My eyes widen. "Wow! I can't wait to meet them." I grin. "Am I older than them?" Dad chuckles softly. "No, my darling. Your brothers were adopted before you were born." "Oh." I nod, my excitement growing even more. "I can't wait to meet them. Where are they?" "They're abroad," Mum explains. "But as we speak, they're on their way home. They want to me
Raven's POVThe drive to the Johnes estate was quieter than I expected. The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It wasn't filled with regret or uncertainty. Instead, it felt warm, like the first rays of sunlight after weeks of rain. Mrs. Johnes sat beside me in the back seat, stealing glances every few seconds as though she feared I would disappear if she looked away for too long. Each time our eyes met, she'd smile. Not the polite smile strangers exchanged. It was softer it felt like peace, like home.The word mother and father still felt foreign in my mind because I had never experienced it. For years I'd watched other children run into their parents' arms while I pretended I didn't care. I'd convinced myself I was strong enough to live without ever hearing someone call me their daughter.Now, life had proven me wrong. "You've gone quiet," Mrs. Johnes whispered. I laughed nervously."I'm just... trying to believe this is real." Her fingers immediately found mine."It is my dear, you are ou

Caleb’s POV She loses consciousness in my arms. One moment she’s trembling against me, her eyes wide with terror, and the next, she goes completely still. My heart lurches in my chest. "Raven," I whisper, shaking her gently, nothing, Just her soft breath against my neck, uneven and shallow. S
Beatrice’s POV The night stretches on like a ghost, it wraps around me, cold and heavy. I sit there long after Caleb leaves, staring at the stars above, searching for answers that never seem to come. The wind whispers through the trees, and for a second, it sounds like someone calling my name.
Caleb's POV Her sobs come in waves, like something inside her has broken loose and can't be contained. I hold her tighter, I feel like that's all I can do. I don't know how to comfort her. I'm glad when I hear sounds of pack cars approaching us, I don't dare to put her down though. I feel lik
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
