LOGINRavenna’s POVI spent the entirety of the following morning waiting for the heavy axe to fall.Every single time a palace guard’s boots echoed down the quiet hallway, or a knock sounded at my bedroom door, my stomach twisted into a tight knot. I fully expected a squad of royal enforcers to burst into my room, bind my wrists in iron chains, and drag me down to the dungeons under the order of the Alpha King. I expected the professor to have lost his mind completely and spilled every dark detail of my identity to the court.But as the hours ticked slowly past noon, nothing happened.The palace remained entirely peaceful. Ronan stopped by my room to kiss my forehead and bring me fresh pastries, chatting happily about the venue decorations before leaving for a training session with his warriors. By mid-afternoon, a wave of profound relief washed over my frayed nerves.I let out a soft, mocking laugh as I sat by the window. *He couldn't do it.*Just as I had predicted, the professor was
Ravenna’s POVThe professor didn't look at me like a partner or an ally. He looked at me as though I was something that belonged to him, like something that was suddenly trying to break free from his control."You're just joking, Ravenna," he said as he took a slow step toward me.His eyes narrowed, and his voice grew low and cold.A shiver of disgust ran through me as he continued to stare at me."You wouldn't dare try to walk away from me. You wouldn't dare try to drop everything we've built."I stood my ground, refusing to let my fear show. "I am entirely serious. We are done.""No, we are not," he snapped. He reached out, grabbing my wrist tightly, his fingers digging into my skin. "Do you honestly think I am going to let you discard everything we’ve shared over these past five years? Do you think I worked tirelessly beside you, helping you plan, helping you hide, just so you could run off, wear a sparkling tiara, and play house with a pampered prince?""Let go of me!" I command
Ravenna’s POVTime was slipping through my fingers like fine sand. With the wedding now just two weeks away, the palace had descended into utter madness. Florists, dressmakers, and security teams flooded the hallways daily, leaving me with barely a moment to breathe.Under the cover of dusk, I managed to sneak away to the university campus. The professor’s office was dark, lit only by the single desk lamp."So, you are actually going through with it?" the professor asked the moment I closed the heavy door. He didn't even greet me.He stood behind his desk with his arms folded across his chest, staring at me with a hard, searching look that made it clear he was studying my every reaction. "Two weeks, Ravenna. You are truly going to marry the Alpha’s son?"I let out an exhausted sigh, leaning against the door frame. "I have no choice," I told him, my voice barely above a whisper. "The momentum is too strong, and backing out now will expose everything. Besides... I have been thinki
Ravenna’s POVMy grandfather had been moved into one of the grandest guest quarters on the upper floor of the palace, where he would be staying as an honored royal guest until the wedding day. I waited until the palace guards shifted their posts before slipping into his room quietly, shutting and locking the door firmly behind me.My grandfather was sitting in an armchair by the window, sipping dark tea from a porcelain cup. The moment he saw my expression, he set the cup down."Grandfather," I whispered, my voice trembling as the mask I wore all morning finally cracked. I rushed over and fell onto my knees beside his chair, gripping his wrinkled hands tightly in mine."What is wrong, my child?" he asked gently, his thumb smoothing over the back of my hand."I am terrified," I confessed, hot tears stinging my eyes. "I am so frustrated, and I don't know what to do anymore. Grandfather, I... I have fallen in love with Ronan."My grandfather did not look shocked. He merely sighed sof
Ravenna’s POVThe music and cheerful laughter of the engagement party buzzed softly in the background, but my mind was miles away. I quietly pulled away from the crowd of smiling well-wishers, my beautiful long dress rustling against the sand as I made my way toward the edge of the beach.Standing near the dark water, watching the white foam of the ocean waves crash against the shore, was the Prince. He was holding a crystal glass of champagne, his posture rigid and tall, looking completely isolated from the joy of the party.I took a breath and stopped right beside him."I was really surprised to see you here tonight," I said softly.The Prince did not look at me right away. He took a slow sip of his drink before turning his head. "Ronan invited me," he replied smoothly. "He said he wanted everyone who is close to you to be present for his special surprise." He let out a faint, dry chuckle. "Though we both know the real truth. He invited me to mark his territory. He wanted to ma
Ravenna’s POV For a split second, panic gripped my chest. But I am a master of deception. I quickly swallowed my fear, forcing a bright, beautiful smile onto my face as I pretended that nothing was wrong.I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with emotion. The reality of the situation was crashing down on me. I was getting engaged to the future Alpha King.I walked forward and immediately greeted my grandfather. I threw my free arm around his neck, hugging him tightly."I am so proud of you, my dear," my grandfather whispered in my ear, his voice breaking with genuine joy."Thank you, Grandpa," I choked out, a single real tear escaping my eye.I pulled away and greeted my friends, accepting their excited hugs and happy whispers. Then, I turned to the royals. I forced myself to walk over to the Luna Queen and the Prince."Good evening, Your Grace," I said to the Luna, dipping my head in a polite bow. "I am so happy you could be here tonight.""Of course," Selena replied, her smile loo
Ravenna's POV My stomach dropped. Something in his voice and in the way he thrusted into me earlier had told me something was wrong. And now he needed my help. “You did what?” I whispered, my voice trembling as I searched his face for answers. He held my hand, his gaze locked unto mine. “My love,
Ronan’s POV“Hello, beautiful.”The words left my mouth before I could even think. I had spent the last hour chasing a crying Thalia and dealing with my mother’s cold glares, but my mind was stuck on the girl at the bar.Vexley turned around slowly. When her eyes met mine, she didn't look afraid or
Ravenna's POV "You look.... wow." Astrid's voice was breathy, her mouth wide open in admiration as she stared at me. "Vexley, you're stunning. Honestly, you're even more beautiful than Thalia."I blinked. "Thalia?""Yes," she replied, nodding. "She's Ronan mate and everyone thought she was the pre
