RAVEN'S POV

I woke up at five in the morning and barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up. This had been happening every day for the past two weeks, and it was getting worse. I stayed on the cold tile floor for a few minutes, waiting to see if there would be more, but my stomach finally settled.

Breeze stirred inside me. "You need to see a doctor."

"I can't," I whispered back. "People will talk."

"They're already talking, Raven."

She was right, but I didn't care.

I brushed my teeth to get rid of the taste and splashed cold water on my face. When I looked in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. Dark circles under my eyes, pale skin, and messy hair made me look sick.

Getting dressed took longer than usual because almost everything made me nauseous, but I pulled on my baggy hoodie since it was the only thing that did not trigger my nausea.

Downstairs, Luna Vera was making breakfast. The smell of eggs and bacon hit me when I entered the kitchen, and my stomach lurc

    Raven's POV Thursday morning, I walked into school and immediately knew something was wrong. People were staring at me more than usual, and when I passed groups in the hallway, they would stop talking and whisper. "What's going on?" I asked Breeze. "I don't know, but I don't like it," she said. I got to my locker and found another note taped to it. This one had a printed screenshot of some social media post. I ripped it off and read it. "Raven Valkhor slept with half the lacrosse team, that's why she doesn't know who the real father is. She's just pinning it on Dante because he has money." My stomach dropped. This was a new low even for them. "They're lying," Breeze growled. "Everyone knows we've only been with Dante." "It doesn't matter if it's true," I said. "People will believe it anyway." I crumpled the note and shoved it in my bag. By lunch, the rumors had gotten worse. I heard people saying I had slept with teachers, I was selling myself for money, the baby might not

    Raven's POV Wednesday afternoon, Alaric showed up at my house with a determined look on his face. "We're going somewhere," he said. "Where?" I asked. "To see a healer," he said. "A real one, not the pack doctor who reports everything to Alpha Marcus." "I can't afford a healer," I said. "I'm paying," he said. "And before you argue, I already made the appointment and she's expecting us in an hour." "Alaric, I can't let you pay for this," I said. "Too bad," he said. "You're going, whether you like it or not. Now, get in the car." I wanted to argue but something about his tone told me it wouldn't matter. So I grabbed my bag and followed him to his car. We drove for thirty minutes to a small house on the edge of the next town over. An older woman with silver hair answered the door and smiled warmly at us. "You must be Raven," she said. "I'm Healer Mara. Come in." Her house smelled like herbs and lavender. She led us to a room with a comfortable bed and lots of plants. "Lie do

    Raven's POV Tuesday started like any other exhausting day. I woke up at five for my morning dog walking job, then went to school. After school, I had three tutoring sessions back to back, followed by a shift at the pack market selling jewelry until nine. By the time I got home, I was so tired, but I still had homework to finish. I sat at my desk trying to focus, but the words on my textbook kept blurring together. "You need to rest," Breeze said. "Our body can't keep doing this." "I have to finish this," I said. "The test is tomorrow." "You're going to make yourself sick," Breeze warned. "I'm fine," I lied. But I wasn't fine. My head was pounding, and my hands were shaking. The room started spinning and I gripped the edge of my desk, trying to steady myself. "Raven stop," Breeze said urgently. "Something is wrong." I tried to stand up, but my legs gave out and the last thing I remembered was hitting the floor hard. When I opened my eyes, Alaric was kneeling beside me lookin

    Raven's POV Monday afternoon, there was a pep rally in the gym for the upcoming lacrosse championship. I tried to skip it, but my math teacher made everyone go. I sat in the back bleachers, hoping nobody would notice me. Alaric found me anyway and sat down beside me. The rally started with the cheerleaders doing a routine. Luella was front and center looking perfect as always. Then Dante and the lacrosse team ran out, and everyone went crazy, cheering. I tried to focus on anything else. My phone, my shoes, the exit sign across the gym. But then someone threw something at me. A crumpled piece of paper hit the back of my head. I turned around and saw three guys from Dante's friend group laughing. "Oops," one of them said. "My hand slipped." "Leave her alone," Alaric said, standing up. "Or what?" the guy said. "You going to fight us, new kid?" "If I have to," Alaric said. The gym got quieter as people noticed what was happening. Even the cheerleaders stopped their routine. "S

    Raven's POV Friday morning, I woke up before dawn feeling restless. Breeze had been pushing at me all night trying to get my attention. I finally gave in and got out of bed. "What do you want?" I asked her. "We need to connect," she said. "Really connect. Not just talking, but bonding." "How do we do that?" I asked. "Go to the forest," she said. "Find a quiet place, then I'll show you." I got dressed in comfortable clothes and snuck out of the house. The forest behind our property was dark and peaceful. I walked until I found a clearing with a fallen log where I could sit. "Now what?" I asked. "Close your eyes," Breeze instructed. "Take deep breaths and focus on feeling me inside you." I did as she said. At first, I just felt awkward sitting alone in the dark with my eyes closed, but gradually I started to sense something. A presence that was both me and not me at the same time. "That's me," Breeze said softly. "Can you feel it?" "Yeah," I said. "It's like you're right her

    Raven's POV Thursday afternoon, the school held a mandatory assembly for all seniors. I tried to skip it, but Luna Vera got a call from the principal saying attendance was required. So I went, even though I knew it would be awful. I sat in the back row hoping to stay invisible. Alaric was at the front with some other students helping set up chairs. I texted him that I was there, and he gave me a thumbs-up from across the room. The assembly started with the principal talking about graduation requirements and college applications. I tried to pay attention, but my back was hurting and the baby kept kicking my ribs. Then the principal introduced the student council to talk about the senior prom. Luella walked up on stage, wearing a tight dress that showed off her perfect figure. Everyone clapped, and she smiled like a beauty queen. "Thank you everyone," she said into the microphone. "As you know, prom is in two months and we need to finalize the theme and venue, but before we get in
