CHAPTER 11

CHAPTER 11 RAVEN’S POV The feast was a long one. I couldn’t just leave—the tension that filled the air the minute I walked in was questionable. It was evident that these people didn’t want me among them. I didn’t want to speak in a place I wasn’t wanted, I basically nodded to everything that was being said. When I got to my room, I laid on my bed fully clothed and thought back on everything that was said. I tried to remember everything, and everyone’s name, and their roles. There was just one person who I wasn’t familiar with. She looked like she was my uncle’s wife. She kept staring at me all through the feast. I felt the hair on my body rise. Alpha Eldric—my uncle. I needed to start getting to used to the fact that I had other relatives beside the ones that mattered the most. My uncle suggested going to town tomorrow with Damien—that grumpy ass. I couldn’t refuse because it seemed l

CHAPTER 12: THE BLADE MEANT FOR HER

CHAPTER 12DAMIEN’S POVI couldn’t sleep last night. I was going to find a way to speak to Rowan about Raven but my father summoned me before I could.He gave me instructions, about how I needed to keep Raven close and know her weaknesses. He wanted me to claim back the throne in a trial by combat.I thought he would want Raven to lead; she was niece, and since he always considered me incompetent. But I gusss what was more incompetent than me…was the fact that Raven was a woman.A woman has never led the kingdom, it won’t happen now.In his words, the kingdom was stolen from him by his brother. Alpha Alaric was younger, but the moon chose him probably seeing has he was more capable than my father.I was exhausted. I knew I had used up all of my strength on the sandbag because I was angry.But what annoyed me more was that Raven kept mentioning it and my wolf hated being called weak.It didn’t seem like she had an easy night either. Being

CHAPTER 13: A PROMISE IN THE DARK

CHAPTER 13DAMIEN’S POV Raven had lost consciousness by the time I brought her back to the palace.My mind was all over the place, but I barked orders at everyone, demanding for the pack healer.Mira charged towards me the minute she heard the commotion. “What happened…to her?” she asked, her voice quivering.I ignored her. I couldn’t think. I just wanted Raven to get checked first—she passed out way too quickly, and she was starting to get pale.I placed Raven gently on her bed the same minute the Pack healer came in.“What’s happened to her,” he asked.I smelled Rowan before I saw him, and I answered the healer. “She was stabbed at the market, but she passed out way too quickly and she is getting really pale.”The healer cut through her clothes. The wound wasn’t that deep, so why was she unconscious?“The blade used was a poisoned blade,” he said immediately. “Get me a bowl filled with water and a wash cloth. I need to clean the wound.”

CHAPTER 14: THE ENEMY IN MY BED

CHAPTER 14RAVEN’S POVI woke up to his arms around me, His heartbeat was slow and steady beneath my cheeks and he smelled likeThe events of the day before flooding back—the attack at the market, the nightmare, Damien spending the night in my bed. There had been so much blood in my dream it was as though I was the one hurt in the dream…except I wasn’t the one hurt I was the attacker.There were three people bleeding out, and my hands were covered in blood of people I didn’t recognize. And Nan she looked at me as though I were a monster.Like she didn’t know me at all. I wondered if this were just dreams or a past memory.So when I asked Damien to stay last night, it was because he was looking at me as though I were human, and not the monster my nightmare had made me to believe I was.I have only been here two nights, and each one has dragged me into terrifying dreams. Dreams that were definitely triggered by this place.When I looked up at Dam

CHAPTER 15: THE ENFORCER LIST

CHAPTER 15DAMIEN’S POVI couldn’t bring myself to look Raven in the eyes. Even though I’d been awake long before she stirred, I kept my eyes shut, pretending to sleep until she moved.But the way she left the bed—it wasn’t a simple rise. It felt like escape, like she couldn’t put distance between us fast enough.She was probably ashamed about sharing the bed with her cousin in such intimate manner…of course anyone would.But my wolf didn’t care that Raven was my cousin. Last night, he had been restless—too aware of her warmth beside me, too hungry, too starved from days of tension.I found myself touching her more times than I should have… gentle, instinctive caresses I couldn’t stop even when logic warned me to.It was evident it was a while I had gotten laid with everything going on this past few days my wolf was restless the sexual tension in me was demanding.The minute I stepped out of Raven’s room, I went to my bedroom. I knew Vera was going t

CHAPTER 16: BETWEEN HATE AND FATE

CHAPTER 16 RAVEN’S POV Damien didn’t go see the list like Mima had suggested. Instead, he watched me eat, clearly waiting to walk me to his step-mother’s chambers. Although Mira had explained what the Enforcer was and how it worked, I still couldn’t fully understand it. It was too much responsibility, and the assessment…it sounded bloody. Mima seemed lovely. Damien seemed comfortable around her, and Mima looked at him with so much love and adoration that I wondered what their history was. I finished the food on my plate, and Damien and I began the walk to his mother’s chamber, with Vera tiny hand in his, and Mira followed closely behind. The walk was silent expect for Vera’s voice that chiming loudly as she pointed to different things and talked about all her favorite animals. “How do feel now? The healer said it was a poisoned blade. If your wolf hadn’t rejected it, you wo

CHAPTER 17: THE WOLF IN THE SHADOWS

CHAPTER 17RAVEN’S POVDamien was out the door the minute he heard his father had summoned him. It was as though simply hearing his father wanted him brought some kind of fear into him.“I’m sorry—we might have to continue our chat a little later, if that’s okay,” Ophelia said, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yes, it’s fine,” I replied, getting up and walking out the door. I met Mira at the entrance, and we walked back toward my room. “What’s going on? Why does it seem like the whole palace is in a commotion? What’s on the enforcer list?” I asked Mira as we approached my room.“I don’t know what it is exactly, but it seems serious. I would have to go find out I haven’t left your side since this morning, that’s why I am a bit unaware.” She said apologetically.“It’s okay. Why don’t you go find out? I am sure I can find my way to the room on my own.”“Are you sure?” She asked.“It’s fine—I need sometime to th

CHAPTER 18: WHAT MY FATHER FORGED

CHAPTER 18DAMIEN’S POVWhen I entered my father’s study, he didn’t even look at me. He just closed the leather binder in his hand with a soft click that sounded louder than thunder.He looked deep in my eyes, and I felt the hair on my skin rose, he slid a folded note across the desk, and I realized it was the Enforcer list.Why was I being called into his study for this? “Read it to me,” my father said. “Read every single name on that list.”Rowan made the list his name was at the top so, why? But I still read it, because in that moment I still feared Eldric. I still cowered around him like I did when I was a child.“Rowan Grimvale, Kael Morn, Andor Vesk, Taren Wolfson, Lysander Cobb, Rothen Vale, Orion Stormwolf, Myria Throneclaw, Sienna Rath and—-“I froze.My name was there on that list. How was this possible?“Go on,” my father’s voice boomed. “Go on, read it.”“Damien Grimvale.” My voice didn’t shake. I wouldn’t give him t

CHAPTER 19: A CHALLENGE TO THE THRONE

CHAPTER 19RAVEN’S POVI hadn’t seen Damien at all that morning. Last night I couldn’t believe I finally spoke to him about the dreams. I was sure that if I ever needed to talk to someone about them, it would be Orion—not Damien.I didn’t only tell him about the nightmares—I shared something that Nan and I kept to ourselves with him and that meant something at least to me.A knock startled me out of my thought.“Come in,” I informed the person behind the door.“How are you?” It was Orion.“I hardly see you these days. Was your role alone to bring me here?” I asked him.“No,” he said, stepping further into the room. “I’ve been preparing the training grounds for you and trying to find out why you haven’t emerged yet — but it seems I’ll be busier.”“Busier?” I echoed, confused.“I have the Enforcer assessment coming up.”“Your name was on the list?”“Yes. And a couple of others including—Damien and Rowan” he answered clearly delighte

CHAPTER 20: SHADOWS OF ELDRIC

CHAPTER 20DAMIEN’S POVRowan was in my room later that night, I was thankful for it. We hadn’t had a chance to talk since everything happened.The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was heavy, thick with what neither of us had the courage to say aloud. I was grateful he came, even if we were both pretending this wasn’t the beginning of a much larger storm.“You okay?” He asked. “I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but I didn’t find you anywhere. Then I heard the howling. Was that you?”“I am okay, and yes, it was me.”He didn’t believe me. I didn’t expect him to.“Want to talk about it ? The list, I mean?” He asked.“It’s just a list. it doesn’t mean anything.”“You know it means something.”“It doesn’t, I demanded a trial by combat,” I told him.His breath faltered. Not loud—but enough.“You what? Damien, Raven doesn’t know how to fight—not yet you are going to kill her.”“Wasn’t that the plan? That I demand the throne back in a
