MasukRaven's POV
Elias was feeding me despite the fact I told them I could eat perfectly well on my own, but they refused. Caius had prepared fresh pancakes and bacon with eggs for breakfast, and Dante seemed to be busy with assignments, his head bent over textbooks at the far end of the dining table."Open up," Elias coaxed, holding a forkful of fluffy pancake dripping with maple syrup in front of my mouth.I rolled my eyes but parted my lips, allowing him to slide theDante's POV The way I moved towards Raven was at flash speed to back her away from the demon. My body positioned itself between her and Jerome, every muscle tense and ready to attack if he made one wrong move. Cassian hissed and was right before him, his stance predatory. "Take Raven away from here," he ordered me without taking his eyes off Jerome. But Raven refused, clutching at my arm. "No, I'm scared he'll hurt you again. Any of you." "Aw, isn't that sweet?" Jerome drawled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "She cares." "What do you want?" Cassian demanded. "Miss us or something?" Jerome's replies were sarcastic, his smile never reaching his eyes. "I'm only here for my baby sister," he said, gaze fixed on Raven. "It's not surprising she can't even stand me despite saving her." Raven tried to move closer to him, but I pulled her back to me, m

The sweetness exploded on my tongue, and I couldn't help the small moan of appreciation that escaped me."See? Better when I feed you," Elias said with a smug smile."I'm not an invalid," I protested after swallowing. "I can feed myself.""We know," Caius called from the kitchen where he was flipping more pancakes. "But where's the fun in that?"I had called my mom recently, and she said she was fine, enjoying herself outside the borders and having a
Raven's PovThe bed dipped beside me and warmth pressed against my side. The sultry scent of Caius washed over me. But there was no touch, no demands, just his presence. “Relax, Raven,” Caius murmured. “You need to rest, princess. There’s plenty of time.” I exhaled hard and slow, opening my eyes to turn toward him. “I still…” I searched his gaze. “I still want to see you.” Dante moved slowly, rolling to the far side, leaving Caius to rise. “You want to see me?” I nodded, my body trembling. He rose from the bed, sleek and powerful, with barely more than a small dip to the mattress. His dark eyes glinted as he worked the buttons of his black shirt, opening them slowly as he turned. Caius dropped his shirt to the floor. Powerful muscles flexed as he moved, working the tongue of his belt through the buckle. “This is what you want, Raven?” My body shivered as he pushed his pants to the floor, leaving him standing in soft black boxer briefs
Chapter 136Raven's Pov “Unless you want me to hang you over a railing…and rail you.” My body clenched. The image of that came alive in my mind, the hard railing pressed against my hips, my legs splayed wide, my pussy bare for all to see. I closed my eyes, biting the inside of my cheek and squirmed once more in his arms, only this time it was for a whole different reason. I tightened my grip, lifted my gaze to Caius who bit his lips way too hard than before and painting his lips red and whispered. “I’m…I’m going to come.” “Not yet, you aren’t, princess,” Dante forced through gritted teeth and took the stairs faster, then headed for Elia's room. Footsteps echoed behind us before the door was slammed shut, he placed me on the bed and it was just them and me… The only difference was, this time I was sober and calm, I was high and just wanted them to claim me. “You okay with this, princess?” Dante stepped closer, gripped his shirt and peeled
Cassian's POVNo matter how we tried to make sure that we pleased Raven, to make sure that we showed and possessed that only she belonged to us, it was fucking impossible and unbearable without the eyes of people asking questions. Now my father made it worse by giving that announcement at the fucking wrong time.I scanned the reception for Raven, but she was nowhere to be found. Instead, my eyes landed on Dante, who looked lost and suddenly not satisfied despite his dramatic recovery. I squeezed his shoulder tight and leaned in close."You made quite an entrance at the wedding event," I said, forcing a smile for the benefit of onlookers. "Should definitely be the best gift for Father."Dante barely acknowledged me, his eyes continuing to search the crowd."Father was ready to turn down the whole of Velmora because he was hurt," I continued, keeping my voice low. "And of course, Aunt Kira is still hostage so that Jerome will come for her,
Raven's POV I was sitting before the mirror, and I realized how gorgeous I looked in my gown. The pretty diamond stones glimmered under the lights, catching every ray and throwing it back in dazzling sparkles. I was going to be my mom's chief bridesmaid, something I never wanted in the first place, but now, all of a sudden, I was feeling so giddy. Freissa stood behind me, adjusting her own gown, her eyes bright with excitement. "You had better find a husband back home because you will definitely sweep everyone off their feet," she said, smoothing down the fabric of her dress. I rolled my eyes as I took in her same milky-colored gown but with a different design. She was really excited for the day, and my mom had specially invited her and her parents to come over for the wedding. "Do you think they'll actually do it?" Freissa asked, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Break their engagements, I mean."
Chapter 2Raven's PovI couldn’t believe what I was seeing, The man my mother was marrying didn’t look a day over twenty-five, maybe younger than my own boyfriend back in the city. His features were too sharp, too perfect, almost unreal. His skin was flawless, a pale ivory that made his dark crimso
Chapter 1Raven's PovI came back from school feeling pissed and exhausted. My uniform was stuck to my skin with sweat and my backpack felt heavier than usual, all I wanted to do was throw myself on my bed and sleep but the second I stepped into the house, I knew something was wrong.My mother was
Chapter 6Caius’ POVThe scent of blood and burnt incense still lingered in the air. It clung to the walls and soaked into my clothes. Last night was supposed to be about our mother. One night, Just One fucking night to honor her memory. But what happened instead?We were dealing with this goddamn
Cassian’s POVFive days later, we were back in school but nothing about it felt normal.The halls, the stares, the suffocating silence that wrapped itself around the air like a noose was not normal anymore. Raven still wouldn’t speak to us, she wouldn't spare a word, a glare or even a scoff and I w
