Mag-log inRaven’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

My mind runs to Caleb, but when I try to teleport, I'm unable, I try so hard but nothing happens. "No, no this can't be happening right now." Without wasting time i shift into my wolf and run straight to Nadine-west Pack i have to see my Caleb he's badly injured. It's takes everything in me but finally I see the pack, I rush past the gate ignoring everyone. I just want to see him, i want to see him. I ignore all the pain my paws are literally bleeding. But Caleb is the only important person in my life right now. I push past our room and find something quick to wear before rushing to the infirmary. "Caleb!" I call.

Raven’s POV I rush back ignoring Caleb, he's done so much for me and it's my turn now. I am strong and capable. At Nadine-West I notice Raphael’s soldiers are moving slower and their glowing armor dimming as if someone is draining the life out of them. I looked around and I see him, the man that made me come back here, Raphael, He’s hunched over, one knee on the cracked ground, hand pressed against his chest where I struck him. Blood coating his fingers, dark and thick. His breaths come in sharp, ragged pulls, each one sounding like they tear through his lungs. He looks up as soon as I step forward. His eyes turn storm blue, his gaze unstable but beneath all that I see a flicker in them or maybe it's just my imagination. “R... Raven…” he coughs, a thread of awe and agony mixed. “You came back.” He sounds glad, but his voice icks me. I glare at him, lightning sparking in my palms, I just want to finish him off because if I leave him he'll come back to hurt us again. “You
"Ouch! my body hurts." I say out loud, my eyes are still closed, "My head hurts." I say placing my hand on my forehead. I slowly open my eyes and look around me. My body hurts, but I feel warmer than I expected. “So you are awake.” Someone says startling me. I shoot up looking at my surroundi
Beatrice's POV I open my eyes and I find myself in a strange place, I'm lying on some soft fabric facing up, the room smells so heavenly, and my heart seems so heavy. I wonder what happened, I'm glad when I see a familiar face right next to me. With the same concern I know. I'm about to smile
Raphael's POV Weirdly, as I am placing her on my bed, her eyes shoot open, pushing me away from her with all her might. I release the breath I've been holding for a long time. “Don't you dare come near me. I won't let you hurt me again.” She shouts, picking up a screwdriver which was lying on
Beatrice's POV I walk, ignoring the cold wind numbing my body, I walk, ignoring the excruciating pain between my legs, I walk, ignoring the blood trickling down my legs. I'm nothing to no one, I am all alone. If my mate could do this to me, then what about the others? He was so brutal, as if I wa
