Se connecterRavena's POV
Not long after my conversation with Kara, I had to visit the Solstice Crown Pack to take care of some wedding arrangements.
Ravena's POV I held Erik, my tears soaking into his hair."I'm so sorry," I whispered over and over. "I'm so sorry. This is my fault. All of it."Erik pulled back slightly and looked at me with those haunted eyes. Then he shook his head and reached for the paper and the brush again, his hand still trembling from exhaustion.
Ravena's POV After our discussion, Evander sent for a physician.An older man arrived within the hour, carrying a worn leather bag, and moving with the calm efficiency of someone who had seen everything.He examined Erik thoroughly, checking his injuries, his leg, his throat, his overall condition.
Ravena's POV We rode without stopping. Without rest. Without mercy for ourselves or the horses.The journey to Ironhold would normally take a full day.

Ravena's POV The situation with Princess Elara escalated far beyond what anyone expected.Despite my decision not to reveal the truth publicly, despite knowing she was just a pawn manipulated by Duchess Marianne, the damage was already done.Rumours had spread like wildfire throughout the kingdom with twisted stories. And Princess Elara at the center of it all.
Ravena's POVAt that moment, I just stood frozen in place, hoping he would say something else. Hoping he would not.Then his voice returned smoothly. “I do hope Lucien stands beside you when we ride out.”And just like that every trace of warmth in my chest vanished.I blinked. “What?”He gave a sl
Ravena's POVThe moment his thumb gently wiped the blood from my cheek, everything around us faded.The clanging of metal, the screams, the growls. All of it melted into the background like a bad dream.All I could feel was him. His touch, his closeness. And the way he looked at me.That wasn’t the
Evander's POVThe ground shook under my boots as I charged forward, my silver blade in one hand and claws extended on the other. My wolf pushed at the edge of my skin, teeth bared, and blood hungry. I didn’t hold him back. I never did when war called.I cut through the first rogue with ease, my bla
Ravena's POVMy head spun for a moment, but then I forced a slow breath through my nose.This wasn’t about them. This wasn’t their mission. This was mine, and I wouldn't let the past ruin this moment for me.I straightened my shoulders back and raised my chin just as Evander’s voice cut through the
