“Hi Scott, what are you doing here?” Raven asks in a confused tone, her eyes narrowing at him as she covers the distance on her end, her heart racing a little.

Scott smirks, opening his arms up for a hug and she bumps her side into him, withdrawing almost as soon as their bodies make contact.

Scott Linker is her classmate and another prodigy of Professor McCall who she sometimes partners with on experiments for the professor over the years.

“You smell divine,” Scott says in a cheery and whispery voice, stretching the bouquet towards her, “this for you. Easter lilies, your favorite I believe.”

Raven’s shocked that he knows that but she hides it well with a smile and takes it from him, “thank you.”

She looks at the flowers and then at him again. How did he know? She doesn’t just like these flowers, they hold a sentimental value to her and it’s something she’s never shared with anyone besides Draco.

Actually, they are her favorite flowers because of him, because before his mother passe

    [I want you at the dance tonight. There’s a few people I want to introduce you to. Linda’s already on her way with a dress for you.]Raven frowns at the text message on her phone, her brows creasing together. She stares at her backpack she had already packed on her bed.She intended to pull an all-nighter at the lab tonight to make swift progress in her work but now she has to be at the party. If Professor McCall is taking the time to send her a dress himself, then it’s quite important to him that she’s there.She scrolls through her contact and dials Scott’s number, remembering he had asked her to be his plus one to the party. While she technically doesn’t want to be his date or anything special to the dance, having someone she can talk to at the party will allow her to blend in easily.Social gatherings are not really her thing, not without Draco anyway.“Hey Raven, how’re you doing?” Scott’s voice comes from the other end of the phone.“I’m good. Still going to the dance tonight?”

    “Seems you’re out of luck tonight Gilbert, see you next time.”“Yeah whatever,” Professor McCall slams the cards in his hand on the poker table, shoving the casino coins towards the other man who’s having a laugh off.“Fucking hell. I really thought I had the bastard “ he grumbles to himself as he walks out of the private gambling room of the Papel Casino, stepping out onto the underground car park. He takes his phone out and checks the life CCTV footage of the lab and he clenches his fist, his chest tightening with annoyance.“This stupid girl is going to fucking get me killed,” he mumbles to himself through gritted teeth. “I might have to use other measures to get her in line.”He jumps into the back of his car. “To my office,” he says not raising his head up from the footage.“Put in your seatbelt sir, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”The sound of Royce’s voice makes his heart stop beating for a slight second. His eyes widen, fear palpable in them as Royce’s face becomes clearer i

    “You’r– you’re my mate?” Raven stutters, the beating of her heart erratic, the expression on her face reflecting just how stunned she is.“You heard our damn wolves,” Royce smirks, pulling the seat and dropping into it. He leans back into the chair and crosses his arms under his chest, a gentle teasing smile on his face.Raven looks down at her trembling fingers on the table. It never crossed her mind that there was a possibility for her to get a second chance mate. What does she do? Her wolf is bubbling with joy but the human side of her is drowning in a cauldron of despair.She cannot be with Royce, she doesn’t want to be with anyone. Not now, she still needs to find out what happened to Draco. She has to get her closure, she deserves it. She’s spent years living like his broken widow. She deserves to know why he gave her a world of joy and then suddenly tossed her into a world of pain.A mate will only be a distraction. There’s no way she can handle this now.She looks back at Ro

    The heavy rattling of the windows from the strong wind blowing outside wakes Raven up from her slumber. She sighs, rubs her eyes and takes her phone to look at the time. It’s almost 9pm. It seems her break from work to take a little nap turned into a much needed sleep. She’s been at the lab, working for the past 36 hours, trying to make up for lost time but more effort without the mental clarity she needs doesn’t seem to do much for her.When she first started this work, it was meant to be a distraction, something to take her mind off things, no matter how noble her intentions were but overtime it became an obsession or so she thought.Only now does she realise what her true obsession is and once again, her work is back to being a distraction but not the type that takes her mind off things, the type distracting her from using her mind to do what she actually wants to be doing; figuring out the mess in her personal life.She walks over to the window, staring at the full moon outside

    “I thought you said no contact till further notice,” Scott frowns as he steps into Royce’s apartment, “did something happen?”“I don’t know, did something happen?” Royce retorts, a crossed look on his face, blowing on a Cuban cigarette, looking directly into Scott’s eyes.Scott’s heart thuds, his lips part slightly. His brain does a quick scan of recent events to see if there’s been any slip ups in his duty but he can’t identify any.“You know I’m always straight with you, if I did something wrong, you can just tell me,” he says, his voice full of caution and a tinge of terror. He more than anyone knows how vicious it is to get on Royce’s bad side.“Sit,” Royce points to the couch opposite him, his eyes never leaving Scott, “guess who I found at one of our hotspots last night?”Scott squints, nervous, “wh- who?”“Our little bird, Raven.”“Raven? Are you sure?” Scott’s voice is full of shock.“Did she tell you where she was last night?”“No— I mean—”“I need you to go back to shadowin

    “Since when do you care?” Raven replies, her voice low, cautious, having a tinge of pain.She’ll never forget the first day of school when she was in sixth grade. A group of girls had decided to teach her a lesson and put her in her place since she was courting all of Draco’s attention by stuffing her face in the public toilet.Royce walked right by and even when she called for help, he just ignored her and walked away, allowing the girls to have their way. Over the years, she didn’t think much of it as Royce's character became clear to her but she never forgets that day.Royce scoffs and leans back into his seat, “you may have exiled yourself but you’re still a member of the Nightshade pack and we have ethics that guide us, this—” he picks up the bag and flicks it back down, “this doesn’t fit into those ethics.”“Well I told you it isn’t mine, I just–” she hesitates and huffs frustratingly, “I don’t want the police getting involved in this or anything like that. It’s for a friend who
