Luella's POV

I spotted Raven at her locker that Monday morning and smiled because everything was going according to plan. I had spent the weekend rehearsing what I was going to say. The key was to sound innocent and concerned.

"Raven, there you are," I said, walking up with Laura and Lana behind me. "I've been looking everywhere for you."

She turned and looked at me with those tired eyes. She always looked tired these days, which made my job easier.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"I just wanted to remind you about the presentation today," I said, keeping my voice sweet. "The one for Alpha Heir class?"

The confusion on her face was priceless. She really had no idea what I was talking about.

"I thought we weren't partners," she said. "You're working with Dante."

"Oh right," I said, pretending to suddenly remember. "I forgot you weren't paying attention last week, Elder Korrin changed the pairs. You're with me now."

This was a lie, of course. I had convinced Elder Korrin that R

    Raven's POV Friday morning, I was called to the principal's office during the second period. My stomach dropped because I knew this couldn't be good. I hadn't done anything wrong, but that didn't seem to matter lately. Principal Hayes was sitting at his desk with a serious expression. Luella was there too, sitting in one of the chairs with her perfect posture and fake concerned face. "Miss Valkhor, please sit down," he said. I sat in the chair farthest from Luella. "What's this about?" "Miss Ebonis has brought some concerns to my attention," he said. "Regarding your behavior at school." "What behavior?" I asked. "According to multiple students, you've been disruptive in class," he said. "Sleeping at your desk, missing assignments, causing distractions." "I fell asleep once in history because I was sick," I said. "And I haven't missed any assignments." "That's not what your teachers are reporting," he said pulling out a folder. "Mrs. Davies says you've been consistently late

    Raven's POV After training one morning, I couldn't go back to the castle right away because my chest felt tight, I couldn't breathe right, and everything was just too much. I sat down under a tree and put my head in my hands. “Raven?” Alaric came over and crouched down next to me. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m fine.” “You’re not fine. Talk to me.” I shook my head because if I started talking, I would start crying. I didn’t want to cry in front of him again, but the words came out anyway. “I’m scared.” “Scared of what?” “Everything.” I looked up at him and felt tears running down my face. “I’m scared someone is going to kill me before this baby is born. I’m scared that even if I survive, the baby won’t. I’m scared that I’m all alone and nobody really cares what happens to me.” Alaric sat down next to me and didn’t say anything for a minute. I thought maybe I had said too much and made things weird, but then he put his arm around my shoulders. “You’re not alone,” he said qu

    Raven's POV I woke up early before the sun came up because I couldn't sleep anymore and I was tired of feeling weak and helpless and waiting for someone to try to kill me again. Breeze was already awake and sitting by the window, and when she saw me get up, she made a small sound and tilted her head. "I need to learn how to fight," I told her. She jumped down from the window, came over to me, and nodded like she understood exactly what I meant, and that's when I realized she had been waiting for me to figure this out. "Can you help me?" Breeze made a sound that seemed like yes and led me out of my room, through the castle, and outside to a clearing in the woods where nobody would see us, and the sun was just starting to come up. "Okay, so what do I do?" I asked. Breeze started moving around me in circles. She would dart forward and back, and I realized she was showing me how to move, watch for attacks, and react fast. I tried to copy what she was doing, but I felt slow, and m

    Raven's POV I was walking down the corridor toward the main staircase when Breeze suddenly appeared next to me and started pulling on my sleeve and making worried sounds. "What's wrong?" I asked her. She kept tugging harder and pointing back the way we came, but I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me, and I had to get downstairs for the council meeting or I would be late. "Breeze, I have to go." She made a sharp noise and grabbed my arm with both hands, and her eyes looked scared. That's when I realized something was wrong. Two men came around the corner ahead of me, and I recognized them from Dante's group of friends. They smiled at me, but it wasn't a nice smile, and my stomach dropped. "Hello Raven," the tall one said. "I need to get past you." "Do you?" The shorter one moved to block more of the hallway. Breeze pulled harder on my sleeve, and I started backing up slowly because something felt wrong about this whole thing, and every part of me was screaming t

    I couldn't sleep again, so I went to the library because nobody ever went there at night, and I needed to be alone with my thoughts. I was tired of pretending everything was normal when it wasn't. I sat down in one of the chairs by the window, put my head in my hands, and tried not to cry because crying wouldn't fix anything, but the tears came anyway. "Raven?" I looked up and wiped my face. Alaric stood in the doorway with a confused look on his face, and I wanted to disappear. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I couldn't sleep either." He walked over and sat in the chair across from me. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "You're crying." "I said I'm fine." He leaned forward and looked at me, and I could tell he didn't believe me at all. "Talk to me." "Why would I talk to you?" "Because you look like you need someone to talk to, and I'm here." He crossed his arms, but his voice stayed soft. "What's going on?" I stared at him for a long time and tried to figure out if I could

    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
