ADRIANA'S POV

Marcus grabbed my arm so hard I thought he might break it. The chains around my wrists rattled as he pulled me out of the cell and dragged me down another dark hallway. I tried to keep up, but my legs were still weak from being locked up for days.

He didn't answer when I asked where we were going. He only walked faster until I was nearly running to keep up. We climbed some stairs and went through a door that led outside. The sudden sunlight stung my eyes.

We walked across what used to be a courtyard, but now it was just rubble and burnt wood. People were working to clean up the mess, and they all stopped to stare at me as we passed.

Marcus pulled me toward a building that looked like it was barely standing. Half the roof was gone, and one of the walls had a huge hole in it. Inside, seven or eight elders sat in a circle and turned to look at me as we entered.

"Is this her?" one of them asked. He was an old man with white hair and a scar across his face.

"Yes, Elder

    Raven's POV I spent the rest of Saturday in my room with the door locked. My phone kept buzzing with texts and calls but I ignored all of them. I didn't want to talk to anyone about what happened at the diner. Instead, I pulled out an old notebook from my desk drawer and opened it to the first blank page. I stared at it for a long time before finally writing the date at the top. "What are you doing?" Breeze asked. "Writing things down," I said. "Everything that's happened, I need to get it out of my head." "That's a good idea," Breeze said. " I started writing. At first, the words came slowly but then they poured out faster than I could keep up with. I wrote about Dante and how he used me, Luella, and her fake friendship, the baby growing inside me, and how scared I was. I wrote about the morning sickness that hit me every day around ten, how my jeans were getting tighter and soon I wouldn't be able to hide the bump anymore, and the weird cravings I got at night for pickles an

    Raven's POV Saturday morning, I woke up with the crystal box in my hand. I had barely slept all night thinking about what I was going to say to Dante. "Today is the day," Breeze said. "We're finally going to make him face what he did." "Yeah," I said, getting out of bed. I got dressed in jeans and a hoodie, then tucked the crystal box into my pocket. It felt heavy, like it was weighing me down but I knew that was just in my head. Downstairs, Alpha Marcus and Luna Vera were having breakfast. They looked up when I walked in. "Good morning, Raven," Luna Vera said. "You're up early." "I need to talk to Dante," I said. "Is he home?" Alpha Marcus frowned. "He left about an hour ago, said he was meeting Luella for breakfast." Of course, he would be with her. "Do you know where they went?" I asked. "The diner downtown, I think," Luna Vera said. "Is everything okay?" "It will be," I said, and left before they could ask more questions. I walked to the diner, although it was a twen

    Raven's POV The package arrived on Friday afternoon while I was sitting on my porch doing homework. The delivery guy handed me a small box, and I signed for it with shaking hands. "Is that it?" Breeze asked excitedly. "Yeah," I whispered. “This is it.” I texted Alaric as I promised, and he showed up fifteen minutes later looking as nervous as I felt. "You ready?" he asked, sitting down next to me. "I don't know," I said, staring at the box. "What if it doesn't glow?" "Then we'll figure something else out," he said. "But I think it will." I took a deep breath and opened the box. Inside was a small crystal wrapped in velvet cloth, it was about the size of a golf ball and completely clear. The instructions said to hold it in both hands and concentrate on the baby. "Here goes nothing," I said unwrapping the crystal. The moment I touched it, I felt a warm tingle spread through my fingers, and a sudden rush of warmth filled my chest like a quiet promise. Then I closed my eyes and

    Raven's POV I woke up Thursday morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. My whole body ached and my head was pounding. I tried to sit up but the room started spinning. "Maybe we should stay home today," Breeze said worriedly. "I can't," I said forcing myself out of bed. "I have two tutoring sessions after school and I need to finish that custom order for Mrs Chen" "You're going to make yourself sick," Breeze said. "I'm already sick," I said, "but I don't have time to rest. The crystal arrives tomorrow and I need to keep working until then." I got dressed slowly because every movement hurt. When I looked in the mirror I barely recognized myself with dark circles under my eyes, pale skin, and hair that looked like a bird's nest. Downstairs Luna Vera was making breakfast and she took one look at me and frowned. "Raven, are you feeling alright?" she asked. "I'm fine," I said grabbing an apple. "You don't look fine," she said. "Maybe you should stay home today." "I have s

    Raven's POV Saturday morning I woke up early and pulled out my laptop. I had been researching the crystal test for weeks, but today I needed to know everything about it. How it worked, where to get it, and most importantly, how much it would cost. I found a website that explained the whole process. The crystal was known as an Alpha Stone, and it had been used for centuries to determine whether a baby carried the Alpha bloodline. When a pregnant woman held the stone, it would glow bright gold if the baby had Alpha blood. If it didn't glow, then the baby was from a regular wolf or human. "This is perfect," Breeze said. "Once we have this, nobody can deny that the baby is Dante's." "If we can afford it," I said, scrolling down to the price section. My heart sank when I saw the number. Three thousand dollars, for a small crystal that would prove my baby's paternity. I checked my savings account on my phone. I had exactly eight hundred and twenty-three dollars saved up, which meant

    Raven's POV By Wednesday morning, everyone was talking about me again. I heard the whispers the moment I walked into school. "Did you hear about Raven?" "I heard she's been sleeping around." "That's why she doesn't know who the father is." I kept my head down and went to my locker. When I opened it, a note fell out. I picked it up and read it. "Slut. We all know what you did, leave before we make you leave." My hands shook while Breeze growled inside me. "Who wrote this?" she demanded. "Could be anyone," I said, crumpling the note and shoving it in my pocket. In the first period, I sat in my usual seat, but I couldn't focus. My mind kept circling the note and who might have written such cruel words. At lunch, I went to the library again, but even there I wasn’t safe. A group of girls whispered at a nearby table. "She's so pathetic," one said. “Acting like she's some victim when she's just a homewrecker." "Homewrecker?" I thought. "They're making things up," Breeze sai
