Raven’s Pov

Alessio carried me into the mansion, and I didn’t say a word. I was done struggling. What was the point? I couldn’t even move, let alone walk out with whatever pride I had left. So I just held on to him and stayed quiet.

When he reached my room, Diego was there too, standing by the door like he was waiting for a good show.

“I didn’t ask you to carry me,” I snapped, the second my back touched the bed. “You just wanted to act like a man. I’m strong.”

Alessio raised a brow. “Do you fin

    Alessio’s Pov “What the hell are you talking about?” I snapped, confused as hell by Raven’s sudden interruption.She didn’t answer. Just pointed, at me.I raised my hand, brushed the underside of my nose. It was warm and wet.Blood.I stared at the red smear on my fingertips, my pulse picking up immediately.“What the fuck—?”I turned sharply to Valerius. “What is the meaning of this?”Diego and the rest of my pack were already rising to their feet. Chairs scraped violently across the stone floor. Raven stood too, her dagger already slipping into her hand like second nature.Then Valerius was calm, smug son of a bitch—started laughing.Not just laughing. Cackling.A slow, cruel sound, like he’d been waiting for this moment his whole damn life.“You really thought I called you here for peace?” he barked. “After all these years of war, Alessio? After you slaughtered my warriors? You think I’m that stupid?”He stepped forward, wine glass still in hand, his eyes gleaming with venom.“No.

    Raven’s PovThe moment we stepped through that gate and those men came out to greet us, my instincts screamed.This place, Frostfang….reeked of cold authority and hidden danger. I didn’t like it. Not one bit.As the man introduced himself and started issuing instructions to the maids, I already knew what was going to happen. Of course. One room. One bed. One Alpha-sized ego sharing space with me.I could’ve argued.I wanted to argue.But then I remembered Alessio’s words back in the woods, about how there was nothing feminine about me. That I fought like a man. Talked too much. Didn’t fit the mold. And just like that, my pride chained my tongue.I was screaming on the inside. Every cell in my body wanted to protest. But I stayed quiet.Alessio glanced at me, like he expected me to speak up, to fight back like I always did. But I didn’t. And I hated that I didn’t.The mansion they led us into was massive, just like Alessio’s back in Silvercrest. But this one was different. It didn’t fe

    Alessio’s PovIt was finally the day to leave for Frostfang.I hadn’t seen Raven much over the last two days. She’d been training with Laila, constantly on the move like she was trying to run away from something, or someone. And maybe I was glad for the distance. Maybe I wasn’t.I had my own shit to deal with in Silvercrest. Being Alpha doesn’t pause just because you’re mated to a walking storm.We were all gathered in the courtyard…Diego, my four best trackers, and me. We were just waiting on one person.Of course.Raven.The sun was already up, the pack was watching, and still, no sign of her.“She’s late,” I muttered, folding my arms. “Why am I not surprised?”No one answered.And then finally she showed up, casually walking like she wasn’t the last damn person we needed.“It’s about time,” I said, glaring at her. “We aren't transforming because of you, so what exactly took you so long? You don’t even wear makeup.”She rolled her eyes. “You might as well go, so I can go back to be

    Alessio’s PovI stood by the window, arms folded, gaze distant. My mind, for once, wasn’t on war or treaties or patrols, it was on her.Raven.The way she moved, like a storm barely contained beneath skin. The way her body melted under my touch last night, so fucking soft…so soft I still couldn’t believe it. Her lips, the moan she let out when I kissed her neck, goddess, it haunted me.She was fire and edge and stubbornness… and I was burning.The door creaked open behind me. I didn’t have to turn, Diego’s scent hit me first.“Hey, man—”“I’m not a big fan of yours,” I cut in flatly.He chuckled, closing the door behind him. “Good to know. But I’m not here to win your heart, Alessio. I’m here to talk sense into you.”I sighed and turned slightly, raising a brow. “Let me guess. You’re going to warn me again about how dangerous it is to go into enemy territory.”He didn’t smile this time. “Yes, actually. You know what you're walking into. After years of bloodshed, they suddenly want pea

    Raven’s PovI woke up slowly, eyes fluttering open like I wasn’t entirely sure if I was still dreaming.My body felt warm. Lighter, somehow. But the moment I sat up, reality slammed into me like a freight train.He wasn’t there.I scanned the room, it was empty.The sheets next to me were cold, like he’d been gone for a while. My fingers instinctively trailed up to my neck. And there it was.The mark.The damn mark.My heart skipped a beat, and the memories of last night came rushing in like a tidal wave—the kiss, the burn of his touch, the heat that tore through my veins like wildfire. The way his mouth claimed mine. The way his teeth had—I flushed.Bright red.No. No. No. Absolutely not. I am not blushing for that man.I slapped my cheeks gently, as if that would shake the ridiculous warmth off. I swung my legs off the bed and padded over to the mirror. My hair looked like it’d gone ten rounds with a tornado. And on my neck…The mark pulsed faintly.I frowned, twisting my hair to c

    Alessio’s PovThe heat in the room wasn’t just hers anymore. It had crept beneath my skin too—slowly, then all at once.I could see it in her eyes, how the fire was eating her up from the inside out. The flush of her cheeks, the sheen of sweat across her collarbone, the way her fingers trembled slightly every time she gripped the sheets, every part of her was screaming for relief, even though her mouth kept spewing defiance.I had to say it.“I think I’ll have to mark you.”She blinked at me like I’d grown a second head. “What do you mean, try to bite me? Are you insane?”I met her glare, calm but firm. “Yeah. That’s the only thing that’ll stop this. For now. You understand that, right?”Her expression twisted in fury. “Never. You would never—don’t even try that nonsense on me.”Then she laughed.Not a normal laugh.A wicked, jagged, unhinged kind of sound that made my wolf stir uneasily.Fang, my wolf, snorted.“Don’t tell me you only want to mark her. You definitely want to do more
