“I didn’t tell you to come in, Olivera…” Those were the first words Olivera heard when she stepped into the room, and saw Vee standing a few feet away from the witch that had completely disorganized the room that belonged to Raul’s mother. This must have been why she had stopped knocking. Olivera thought, stepping around the littered books and bottles on the floor, ignoring Vee and his question. The witch was still searching for whatever scrolls she had talked about before disappearing on her last two weeks. The scroll.That had been one of the first things she had searched for intently the past two weeks, and she had found it. However, it was something that she couldn’t understand, and the only thing that Vee had said when she had mentally asked him, was that they needed the other part of the scroll for it to be useful. It was then that she had known that the scroll which looked like a map was incomplete. “Is that how he talks to you? How can you allow it?” Olivera ignored the q

“Since when have you been listening?” Olivera asked Raul after they had exited the secret room. Right now, they were in the confines of her own room. Raul was sitting on the bed, and his eyes were running tro and fro the room as if he hadn’t seen the beautification before. But then, this was his first time, or rather one of the rare times, the once in a blue moon times that he stepped into the room of his mother that he hated. “A while.” He answered, letting his eyes finally settle on Olivera who took residence on the dressing chair, with Vee right beside her. Vee was another feature that Raul had a time keeping his eyes away from. Mostly because he was already considering the threat Vee might pose should the guard indicate an interest in Olivera. He had thought Jeremy handsome enough for a man that might tempt Olivera, but seeing Vee, the obsession had shifted from Jeremy to Vee. This could be his competition. He heard Vee chuckle, saw the guard wink at him, and balked. Vee coul

Olivera started answering Raul’s question, without making the deal, surprising Raul who had thought that she might bicker and try to slither away from the deal. But what he didn’t know was that Olivera had already proposed in her heart to let him know everything that was going on, just as Vee and Verity had advised so that she wouldn’t be fighting this war alone. And so she told him of the first time she had found the secret room, and what she had found there-the pictures of her and her brother, whom everyone believes is dead, but whom she had a feeling might be alive. She told him of the hefty books that she had no understanding of, and how she had run out of the room because Vee had tipped her that Jeremy had been about to be executed. Olivera didn’t pause there, even when Raul rubbed his face, partly ashamed of his actions. She told him of the form Vee had taken, and how she hadn’t known what it was until she had found Nick close to him, until she had found out that the Nick she

Raul sat alone in his office, the room dimly lit by a single flickering candle. The weight of Olivera's words pressed heavily on his mind. She had told him something that seemed impossible, something that threatened to shatter his entire understanding of his past. According to his mate, his father had lied to him. But how could that be? His father had always been a beacon of honesty and integrity, a guiding force in his life. The idea that he had been deceiving Raul all along felt like a betrayal too deep to comprehend.He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as he replayed the conversation with Olivera in his mind. Her eyes had been filled with sincerity, her voice steady and unwavering. She was his mate, the one person he was supposed to trust implicitly. The bond they shared was unbreakable, rooted in truth and loyalty. How could she lie to him? The very thought seemed absurd. And yet, the doubt lingered.Raul's mind raced with conflicting emotions. On one han

8 years ago.19 years old Raul stood in the council hall, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the scene that was unfolding before him. The air crackled with tension as Miriam, a once-respected member of their pack, his stepsister, was dragged in by guards, her wrists bound and her eyes filled with defiance. It was a sight that sent a shiver down Raul's spine, for he knew the gravity of the accusations that had led to this moment.Leonard, Miriam’s lover and his cousin, surged forward to stop them, his desperate cries echoing off the stone walls of the hall. But the guards held him back, their grip firm and unyielding. Raul's gaze flickered to his cousin, the anguish etched on Leonard's face cutting him to the core. He had been the one to make the report, to his father no less, detailing the abominable relationship between Leonard and Miriam.Raul's father, the alpha of their pack, had not taken the report lightly. He had believed, like many others, that Miriam had used dark
