LOGINRavenna’s POV Servants moved quietly around us, setting down plates of fresh fruit, warm pastries, and coffee. The King sat at the head of the table, reading a newspaper, while Ronan and I sat side by side across from the Luna Queen.For a while, the atmosphere was peaceful. Everyone was eating and chatting about minor pack issues in low, polite voices.Then, Selena set her fork down. She dabbed her lips with a cloth napkin, turned her eyes toward her son, and spoke in her usual strict, commanding voice."Ronan," she began, not even bothering to ask politely. "I need you to contact the central pack accountant today. Tell him to deposit fifty thousand gold credits into my private account immediately. It is time for my monthly charitable donation to the poor pack members in the lower town."She said it like an order, expecting him to obey without asking a single question, just like he had done his entire life.Ronan automatically opened his mouth, nodding his head. "Alright, Mother.
Raveena's POVHis lips crashed against mine, rough and hungry, like he’d been starving for me. I melted into him, my fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt as his hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body. The heat between us was instant. His tongue swept into my mouth, tasting like whiskey and sin, and I moaned into the kiss, my body already aching for more.He broke away just long enough to whisper, *"You’re not going anywhere."* His voice was low, rough with need, and the way he looked at me like I was the only thing that mattered sent a shiver down my spine.I didn’t argue. Not when his hands slid up my back, unzipping my dress, letting it pool at my feet. My bra followed, his breath hitching as my breasts spilled free. His mouth found my nipple, hot and wet, and I gasped, my back arching into him as he sucked hard, his teeth grazing just enough to make me whimper.*"Vexley.."* he growled against my skin, his hands gripping my ass, lifting me effortlessly.
Ravenna’s POV The walk to Ronan’s private quarters felt endless. If I showed my panic, I would lose all my power over him. I needed to act calm, hurt, and completely ready to walk away forever.When I reached his apartment, I pushed open the door without knocking. Ronan was sitting on the edge of his bed, his head resting in his hands, looking downcast. When the door opened, he lifted his head slowly. The moment he saw me, his eyes widened with surprise, and a flood of emotions crossed his face.I stood near the entrance, keeping my expression completely cold. I looked at him with disappointed eyes."I came here to collect the rest of my things, Ronan," I said in a soft, steady voice."I see that you made your choice. You chose your mother over what we shared. I won't try to say anything more to convince you. I don't want to look like the evil woman who ruined the relationship between a mother and her son."I let out a deep sigh, taking a step backward towards the exit door. I pret
Ravenna’s POV I stood in the center of the student council office, my eyes locked on Ronan's pale face. A foolish part of me actually expected him to look me in the eye and tell me the truth. I kept completely quiet, waiting to see if he had the courage to confess what he did to Ravenna five years ago.But Ronan looked away, his jaw clenching tightly. "It doesn't matter, Vexley," he said, his voice tense and low. "That happened in the past. It has nothing to do with you or our future together."I let out a loud, bitter laugh that echoed sharply against the walls. "Of course," I sneered, my hands tightening into fists. "Of course it doesn't matter to you. It was just a girl's life, right?"My heart was sinking heavily in my chest as I spoke, the ghost of my past screaming inside my mind. I took another step toward him, pressing harder. "Did you ever love her, Ronan? Did you even try to protect Ravenna back then, or did you just watch as she was discarded?""Let it go completel
Ronan’s POV For the past two days, the silence from Vexley had been louder than any shout.Every time I walked into a room, she found a reason to walk out. When I tried to sit next to her during our evening studies, she would suddenly stand up and say she was too tired. Yesterday morning, I had reached out to gently touch her shoulder, wanting nothing more than to hold her hand and comfort her after the stressful week we had. But the moment I was about to touch her, she violently flinched and pushed my hand away as if my touch burned her.I was losing my mind. The guilt of my past was already eating me alive, and now, the only person who made me feel human was treating me like a total stranger.By Friday afternoon, I couldn't take the distance anymore. I walked into the busy college cafeteria, my eyes scanning the rows of tables until I spotted her. She was sitting near the glass windows, dining quietly with a few of her classmates.I marched straight over to her table, my long st
Ravenna’s POV Lady Vivienne and I walked through the shadows. The path led straight toward the thick forest border behind the palace guest wing.As we walked, I could feel Vivienne’s eyes on me. Even in the dim light, she kept turning her head, staring at me with a deeply conflicted expression.The shocking scene back in the professor’s apartment—where he had openly pulled me close and kissed my forehead couldn't leave my brain. Finally, the silence became too heavy to bear. I stopped walking, turning around to face her under a small stone archway."You have been staring at me for the past twenty minutes, Vivienne," I said."Do you have something you want to say to me?"She looked down at the ground for a second before looking back into my silver eyes. "I apologize, Ravenna. It is just... I am trying to understand. What exactly are your plans at the end of all this? If I am going to risk my daughter’s life and my own life to help you destroy the Queen, I need to know the truth. A

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
Lunarstrike Pack.7 AM.Ravenna's POV I slipped on my skirts slowly, feeling Damon's eyes on me. Damon is the Alpha heir of the Lunarstrike pack.
