Raven’s POVThe moment they pulled me away from Allen, my body felt like it was moving without me. My legs dragged over the dirt, my ears still ringing with the sound of his voice, with the memory of his claws so close to my throat.A woman appeared from nowhere and slipped her cloak from her shoulders and wrapped it around me but it couldn’t stop the shiver that shook me to the bone.“Keep your head down,” she said, her tone brisk, her arm firm around mine.I swallowed hard, my throat raw. “Wait—no—” My voice cracked, the words breaking apart with my breath. “We can’t leave. We have to go back. My mother is still there!”Her pace didn’t falter. “If we go back now, we die with her. That’s not saving anyone.”“You don’t understand!” I yanked against her hold, tears blurring my sight. “She’s my mother!”Her grip tightened, her jaw hard. “I understand exactly. That’s why I’m not letting you turn around.”The forest closed around us, trees rising like dark pillars. Every step farther mak

Raven’s POVI inhaled deeply, allowing the fresh evening breeze to carry away my tension— even though it didn't do much. I was leaning against Kai, my head resting on his chest, his arms wrapped around me. His legs were on either side of me, holding me in place like I could disappear if he didn’t.The forest was quiet except for the soft rustle of leaves above us and the slow beat of his heart against my ear. This was what I have been waiting for all my life. A life filled where I would be free as Raven wouldn't think about the next time the Lycans would attack. But I would have preferred if I still had a pack with me. I inhaled deeply, a small lips playing on my lips as I wrapped my hand around his arm. This was far more than I wanted. Despite everything, I still felt peace. One that I don't think my pack would have provided for me. “So… what does the future hold for us?” Kai asked, breaking the silence. “Huh,” I frowned, trying to look up at him. “Do you think the future has s

Author's pov. The forest shook with the thunder of approaching paws. Kai stood in the middle of the trail, his claws extended though his arms trembled from the poison already eating through his veins. His chest heaved, every breath dragging fire through his ribs. He couldn't shift fully because of the poison so he could only depend on his years of training and his claws. The first Lycan burst through the trees, a massive, black-furred Lycan, its eyes burning gold. It lunged straight for his throat. Kai met it head-on. His weakened body moved slower than before but he was still able to push forward. He slashed across its snout, sending it howling backward, blood spraying through the air. Another Lycan slammed into his side, and he staggered, but twisted enough to rake claws down its flank.Kai had the upper hand and for a moment he thought he could hold them off. But then three more Lycans appeared. They circled him like wolves closing on wounded prey. Their roars rattled the bra

Raven's pov I stayed in the woman's house for weeks, mostly lying on the bed all day, drowning in my own tears. I still couldn't believe that Kai was dead—- dead this time, not the usual disappearance. Today marks the third month that Draven has taken over from me. The third month of the bastard lies circulating around the kingdom about me. It has been said more times than in my history. “Come,” she said one day, waving me over. “If you’re strong enough to stand, you can help me with the chores. It will keep your hands busy.”I pushed myself up carefully. My ribs still ached, but I was grateful to feel strength returning little by little. I followed her to the table where dried herbs, jars, and cloth bundles were spread out. She gave me a small knife and motioned for me to cut the roots into thin slices.“You shouldn't be lying on the bed all day, you should get busy,” she added, walking over to the fire. “What do you want me to do with this?” I asked. She turned to me with a sm

Raven’s POV. By the time I got back to the woman’s hut, the sun was already setting, I pushed the door open and dropped onto the bed, pulling the thin blanket across my lap. My heart was still pounding loudly in fear. That was a close call. If anyone had seen me, it would have been a different story. I inhaled deeply, pinching the bridge of my nose. I wonder why I still have a dark feeling about Damien. I should have been happy seeing him after such a long time but instead I was worried. Scared. My guts were telling me something was wrong and one thing I have learnt all this years is that I should always listen to the voice inside of me. Damien was different. I was still lost in that thought when the door creaked open. The woman walked in, holding a small basket of herbs. Her sharp eyes caught me immediately.“Where did you go?” she asked, her tone casual but her gaze too focused to be harmless.I hesitated. “I went… to see a friend.”“A friend?” She raised a brow and set the ba
