RavennaThree days had passed since I was discharged from the infirmary. Today was Kalan's thirty-sixth birthday and it would have also been the day of our wedding if Kalan hadn't suggested postponing it till further notice. I was relieved at that as it gave me time to think and decide on what to do with him. He was too unpredictable and I really wanted to get to know him more.He has been treating me really well these few days we spent together. We went back to his apartment, and he took me shopping too, so I could pick specific outfits for myself. He bought a shit load of outfits and other things I didn't even need. To sum it all up, with the addition of my clothes, his walk-in closet was almost brimmed with clothes that belonged to me.He cooked meals for me, he was surprisingly good at cooking even though he revealed to me that he had stopped cooking in a while and ate out because he was very busy with the territory duties. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all scrumptious and I

KalanI rose, stretching myself out on the couch, grimacing at the sudden ray of bright light that attacked my eyes through the window. This is the only thing I despise about living in a condo. I stood up with a yawn, scratching my belly and making my way to the kitchen, to make some breakfast. Hm...today was my 36th birthday. Technically the day I will stop aging like a normal human. Not that I wouldn't grow older, but it wouldn't just be as regular as humans. Meaning I might still look like this for the next 20 years. Just like my previous birthdays, I didn't feel any different or special except that Ravenna was now around me. Her presence makes me feel like a completely different person.The clock on the wall facing adjacent to me indicated that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Ravenna was still sleeping. So, I decided to make breakfast before she woke up.It has been three days now. Three days of complete unadulterated bliss. It was like we were in our very own, little world

KalanLyssa?!A frown instantly took over my features as I gripped my phone so tight, I feared it would break. Why the hell was she calling me? I watched it ring twice, consecutively, contemplating whether to pick it up or not. After what Lyssa did, she not only deserves to be exiled but she wasn't supposed to get in contact with me after everything. Did she not have any shame? I guess not. I only decided to pick up with the resolve in mind saying I would get closure and finally in my mind, wanting her to explain why she did what she did.“Why the actual fuck are you calling me, Lyssa?” I spat, not even trying to sugarcoat my venomous words. “Oh, thank heavens you answered!” Her relieved voice filled my ears, irritating me more and more. “Is that all?” I asked firmly, the need to hang up growing stronger than ever.“Kalan...you need to listen to me...what I'm about to say will shock you, but it's purely the truth. I know you don't trust me...and you have every right not to...but co

Ravenna“...what..?”Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Kalan walk away. No Ravenna, don't cry. Don't cry. You're stronger than this. Keep yourself together.“There is no birthday party here today, and most importantly, there will be no wedding.” Why did Kalan just drop the bomb on us like that? I thought we were smooth and promising. What happened then? Did he find out about Karina? Or was it another thing? I was lost in my thoughts until I heard murmurs rise behind me. I swiveled around with wide eyes. The servants...those who mocked me were whispering around me in a mockery tone, visibly satisfied by Kalan's declaration. My eyes turned to Caelum, who just came downstairs, Lady Vieva whose eyes were downcast, and Nevan, who couldn't even utter a word. No one said a word, not even her brothers. Their faces were solemn as if they weren't surprised about it. Their faces showed ‘Well, that's Kalan’A gasp left my throat and the dam of tears I tried to push back, broke, flooding

KalanRavenna rejected her admission to medical school...because of me?This was news to me. I never knew anything of that sort. She never and I mean ever once mentioned anything like school to me. And Haven Gates? That prestigious college I've always heard about?“You mean to tell me Ravenna turned down their offer to stay here?” I was appalled, to say the least, but Nevan scoffed.“I don't believe it. I just can't. We've been together for the past three days, we've been talking a lot!" I protested. "If there was anything of that sort, she would've told me, and I would've..." Loved her even harder. My eyes went wide. Love? Did I love Ravenna...already? No, that was impossible. It cannot be. Falling in love, when it was merely days? She really had me mixing my attraction for love again. The fact that I even considered it love stressed me. How could I love her? She tricked me. She made me think that she was the one who I could spend my life with. She played dirty games with my hear

RavennaRogues. Werewolves who have been abandoned by their pack or vice versa. Many of them tend to go crazy as they're without a pack nor are they with their leaders. Targets for mercenaries and bounty hunters. The life of a rogue was ruthless. There were only a handful of rogues that were able to survive and withstand a lot of psychological trauma that tend to drive them crazy, an example was Karina's boyfriend, Konnor, but the rest of them went absolutely insane to the point they lost all signs of themselves, turning into beasts. Those were the kind I was facing right now.I'm going to die. I'm really going to die tonight. There was no doubt in hell that they were going to slaughter me. The murderous glint in their eyes, the way they bared their teeth, and saliva dripping from their tongues like rabid dogs, hungry for their meal. Which in terms, they were. My little white wolf was their prey and they were ready to devour me at any given moment now.I scanned the surroundings pan

LyssaI stood watching over from a distance. A couple of trees away. A simple appeared on my face when the black wolves stood, surrounding Ravenna. I felt rather satisfied, and seeing the tears in her eyes made it all worthwhile.“What are you doing? We can't just stand by and watch! I thought you said you were just going to scare her off! At this rate, they're going to kill her and we'll get caught at the end of the day!” My foolish little brother exclaimed in fear.I didn't care at all for her well-being. She deserves to get ripped into pieces. She was the cause of all my problems. She came along, waltzing into Kalan's life, and all she did was cause me heartbreak and anger. She was the reason for all my misfortunes lately. She was the reason why Kalan was angry with me to the extent that he had beat me up mercilessly like he was relieving his pent-up hatred for me. We were doing just fine before she came along! I hated the she-wolf with my entire being and I wanted to see her sla

KalanI zoomed past curious onlookers and bystanders, cursing at them and honking to let me through and get the fuck out of my way. I glanced at Ravenna who lay in the backseat unmoving. The cuts on my skin were still open and dripping down but they were slowly healing. Ravenna on the other hand was still showing no signs of consciousness, shifting, or signs of healing and it scared me.It scared me to know that she was in severe condition and there was nothing I could do than to hasten to the infirmary and make sure I made it on time.She has lost a lot of blood and energy, plus her injuries have worsened ten times as they had before. It was all my fault. If only I had not been so stupid as to have fallen for Lyssas' latest trick another time, I would've prevented this from happening. I was a fool. A complete one and there were no excuses to justify my foolishness and naivety.If I don't get her to the infirmary on time, she could possibly die and it will all be my fault. All the gui

Kalan“No,” I refused firmly.“But, Kalan it doesn't matter, alright? I will do it, I don't mind,” Uncle Caelum persisted, his gaze looking at me worriedly.“I will donate to her. it. It's just 10 years. I wouldn't even realize it if it's removed from my lifespan. It doesn't affect me as much as you think. Her safety and health is the most important thing here and we're wasting time debating on who to give her blood. I am willing and ready to give her now so let me just do it,” I concluded my speech finally, looking at them and turning to give Caius a hard look, but he just turned away, folding his arms and avoiding my gaze. He should grow up.“Are you sure?” My mother asked, skimming at me worriedly. I know how she feels. Knowing that some years would be taken out of your life is a really hard blow to the chest, really. That's why she volunteered. Probably because she was old and she thinks that her absence wouldn't cause as much pain or impact on the territory as mine would.. But s

RavennaI woke up grimacing at the sudden white light that attacked my vision. I blinked back and put my eyes into focus, realizing that I was at the infirmary again. Several nurses gathered around me and I wondered what was going on. Why was I back at the infirmary? Was there something I missed? I couldn't remember what happened before I came here. I only remember going into the forest and suddenly, blackout. What happened? Did I get injured again?I moved my head to the side and I instantly realized what was happening before me. My eyes widened as I saw Kalan looking so pale and barely breathing. I could barely see him being able to stand as a tube connected us together, drawing blood out of his body to me. I gasped in shock, immediately going straight for the tubes that were attached to my wrist and trying to yank them out.My brain jolted and memory came crashing into my head. I remembered everything. The rogues. The scratches. The bites. My rage, my pain, my heartbreak... ever
