LOGINSelena had no idea how long she'd been at the hospital, helping care for the survivors. Every part of her body ached with exhaustion. She kept staring toward the entrance, silently hoping Raven would walk through those doors somehow. But no matter how long she waited, he never came.Rowan had been badly injured, and Amara and Selena were tending to his wounds together. As they wrapped the bandages around him, Selena quietly slipped him a few drops of her own blood while he was still unconscious, using it in place of a healing capsule so he'd recover faster. No one noticed.Now, Rowan was finally awake"Selena," he whispered as she looked over at him. "Before the battle started, Raven asked me to give this to you after everything was over." His voice was weak from the pain as he held out a crumpled piece of paper. Despair was written all over his face.With trembling hands, Selena took it from him."Selena, you should go home and get some rest," Amara said gently, rubbing her arm.Sele
The next morning, Selina woke alone to the sound of the alarm she had set the night before. The sheets on Raven's side of the bed were already cold. That was when it finally hit her. He was really gone. She could still vaguely remember the kiss he had pressed to her lips and the quiet whisper telling her he loved her. At first, she had thought it was just a dream, but it had all been real. As she got out of bed, her eyes landed on a handwritten note resting on the nightstand. My love, I'm leaving. Don't worry about me. Do your job the best you can and save as many lives as possible, but don't push yourself too hard. I'm proud of you. I love you more than anything. Forever yours, Raven. Selina's lips trembled as she fought back tears. She drew in a long, steady breath, forcing herself to stay strong before getting to her feet. She still had a job to do. Once all of this was over, she and Raven would finally begin their new life together. After taking a shower, she put on the uni
“Shhh, sweetheart,” Raven whispered as he rubbed Selina’s back while she sobbed softly, struggling to steady her breathing.Selina was known for being strong and composed, but overhearing Raven talk to Silas about her safety if anything happened to him had hardened her heart with pain. That conversation forced her to face just how dangerous their situation was and how deeply it could wound them both. She could not even bear to imagine losing Raven. The thought alone made her body tremble in fear. She prayed silently that it would never happen, because she knew she would not survive the devastation that would follow. Selina refused to walk any farther down that path of thought.“Selina.” Raven cupped her cheeks and gently guided her back so they were face to face.Selina lowered her head. The trembling of her chin was impossible to control as tears welled again, blurring her vision.Raven tucked her hair behind her ear and lifted her face, but Selina kept her eyes closed. She did not w
“This zone is dangerous. No healers or reinforcements are allowed to cross this line,” King Thorne said, pointing to the red line on the map.The war had begun. Pressure and tension weighed on everyone in the room. This was not just another battle. It was a matter of life and death, with the survival of their entire species at stake.“What happened to the unit we sent last night?” Leon asked, pointing at a spot on the map where the troops had been deployed.“They were slaughtered,” Varkon snapped.“What?” Raven growled.“Our plan was flawless, so how is it possible that not a single one of them survived?” Rowan asked, disbelief heavy in his voice.“Damn it,” Raven muttered, clenching his fist.“This explains why we’ve been losing at every turn. They already know what we’re going to do, like we’re deliberately sending our people to be wiped out,” Leon added, his voice tight with anger.“The plan we’re discussing right now, if it leaks, we’ll know the traitor is one of us,” Rowan said c
Morning.Shouts from outside the house jolted Selina awake. She sat up abruptly, her heart pounding as she rushed to the window in a half-dazed state. The remnants of sleep vanished the moment her eyes widened at the sight of a crowd moving hurriedly down the street in the opposite direction.“Selina!”The door burst open as Raven rushed in. “Are you okay?” He immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest, holding her tightly as if to make sure she was unharmed.“I’m fine. What’s going on out there?” Selina asked, her voice still trembling.“Dozens of our pack members were found dead at the end of the road,” Raven said. The words made Selina’s heart feel like it stopped beating.“What?” she whispered, shaking.“They were all killed the same way as the previous victims. At first, we thought it was the work of a serial killer. But this time, a note was left with the bodies. It’s been confirmed that the witches are behind it,” Raven explained.Selina’s head spun. Just when th
Selina frowned when Maya called and told her about what had just happened to their pack. Worry crept into her mind.“What do you mean?” Selina asked anxiously.“Three members of our pack were found dead near the border. The pack healer said the cause of death was magical. Rumors about witches attacking werewolves are spreading fast,” Maya said.Selina’s heart skipped, fear tightening her chest. “But the last witch of their kind is already dead. How could any of them still be alive?” she asked, her voice trembling.“I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the rumors are spreading like wildfire. I’m scared things will get out of control if we don’t act quickly,” Maya continued.Selina tried to calm her down. “Don’t panic, Maya. Everything will be fine. Raven said Alpha King Thorne is investigating this. A body was also found in the Kendall pack a week ago.”“I’m still scared. I don’t even dare take Oliver to the park because of those witches,” Maya said. They talked a bit longer, and Seli
Raven went down the stone steps first, the guard handing him a flashlight as he did. When he reached the bottom, Raven turned it on. A long silence filled the space. “Raven?” Selina called anxiously from above. “Safe,” Raven answered shortly. Selina followed him down, and the guard said he would
The glossy black stone set into the silver ring held Selina’s full attention. Inside it, golden light swirled like a delicate vortex. It was mesmerizing. But Raven had said he felt a strange vibration coming from Henry’s ring.After lunch, Kendall texted them to meet in the lab. Raven, Rowan, and S
Silence settled over the room as Selina stared straight ahead without blinking. Beside her, Kendall’s body went rigid. When Selina turned, she saw the same shocked expression frozen on Kendall’s face.For one brief second, Selina caught something strange in Kendall’s eyes as he looked at Leon. The
Alpha Thorne and Dorian had taken Lyra without a word, leaving Raven behind with a promise that he would catch Sofia.“Damn it,” Raven hissed, punching the wall with his fists, eyes dropping to the floor. They were back home, but the usual calm that settled over the house was completely gone.Selin
