CHAPTER 62 DAMIEN’S POVThe healers pushed me out of the room.Not gently.“Master Damien, you need to step back,” one of them said, hands already glowing faintly as they surrounded Raven’s bed.“I’m not leaving,” I snapped, but my feet moved anyway. My body felt disconnected from my will, like everything inside me had gone numb.The doors shut.Just like that, she was gone from me again.I stood there in the corridor, staring at the closed doors as if I could will them open. My hands were shaking. I clenched them into fists, then unclenched them, then clenched them again.I should never have let Kiara speak.I should never have taken my eyes off Raven.This was my fault.Minutes passed. Or hours. I couldn’t tell.When the door finally opened, the head healer stepped out, his face grim but controlled.“She’s stable,” he said. “But she’s fallen back into the same state as before. Deep exhaustion. Her body is protecting itself.”

CHAPTER 64DAMIEN’S POVI arrived at the Council of Elders chambers, realizing I was the last one to arrive. All the other elders had worried look etched on their faces. Even the Spiritfang was here.The letter sat quietly in the middle of the table, with all of them staring right at it.“You are late. You kept us waiting,” Eldric said.“I dont understand why I am needed. I no longer have a seat here,” I replied, irritated.I already had a lot on my mind. I didn’t need Eldric making me more anxious than I already was.I also didn’t understand why they needed me in here while they read the letter—but with Orion I understood I needed to know what the letter said. So even if I wasn’t invited I would have forced my way in. For the first time, Orion and I agreed on something. Even if what it was involved Raven, it was good to know we could stand in the same side of this.“The Nightshroud pack have sent a message,” Elder Thalindra said, ignoring my que

CHAPTER 66DAMIEN’S POV There was no way I had heard Raven correctly. She didn’t know Adrian. She had never met him before. “Adrian?” I asked. “Yes, he appeared in my dream everywhere was in darkness, and I was just roaming around. Then he suddenly appeared. He said he was coming for me, and I was his wife to be.”“A letter was sent here too,” Rowan said. “According to what it is you were bethroed to him by your mother.” “You said you think he forced you awake,” Orion asked. Raven told him about how we had both figured out the lockers wasn’t from my mother, but it was my mother’s design. “But are you sure Adrian sent it? He couldn’t have known my mom’s design, and to create a replica of it one that didn’t even seem perfect. And if there is anything I know about Adrian is that he likes perfection,” I said. “I know the replica was different entirely, but we also came to a conclusion that the person who sent it might have wanted us to suspect

CHAPTER 68RAVEN’S POV Today, I was going to be training with Damien. We settled for training in the morning with him, and at night I had to train with Orion. I arrived at the training ground quickly, but Damien wasn’t there. He wasn’t the type to be late so I took it upon myself to run laps. But even after several laps he hadn’t showed up yet. The training grounds weren’t so quiet anymore. Everyone was training—the warriors, the guards, and even Rowan. It was as though somewhere deep within every single one of us knew something was coming. Something that wasn’t friendly. That only made me wondered even more why Damien wasn’t here yet. Training with Rowan had been easy. He arrived early, kept it light, but he was going easy on me—which was one of the reason I decided to train with Damien. But right now, I was regretting that decision. Damien still wasn’t here. Rowan might have gone soft on me, but at least he showed up on time. After running a few

CHAPTER 70 RAVEN’S POVAfter training with Damien, I went into my room to cleanup and get dressed. I had a meeting with the Council. I had put them off for so long because deep down, a part of me knew what the meeting was going to be about—most of it focusing on why I was unconscious for so long. I couldn’t tell them it was because I had healed Vera, and I was grateful Damien hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, even though Orion was sure it was a secret that couldn’t be safe with him. The door clicked open, and Mira stepped in. “Let’s get you dressed up,” she said, smiling. Although a smile filled her face, she seemed sad and I wondered what the cause of her sadness was. Mira and I hadn’t spoken much since I woke up. It was as though she tiptoed around me since I woke up. “How are you?” I asked her as she rumpaged through the wardrobe for a dress. “I am fine.” “Really?” I demanded. “Did something happen? Your questions are sudden
