~RAVENNA~The scream tore out from my throat, so loud that it echoed through the silent night.“Shit.” Luis groaned, his palm flattening over my lips, pulling me down.Struggling against his strong hold, the sob tore through my throat.He dragged me away, while I desperately dug my feet into the ground to stop him.“Dad, no.”Tears blurred everything. But I could still make out Dad’s limp body on the floor.How could they do that? How could they kill him?Luis stopped, only to pick me up as though I weighed nothing, throwing me over his shoulder.“Keep quiet!”I struggled against Luis’s hold again. “Let me go. I will kill him.”My voice didn’t sound like mine anymore— it cracked and broke with every word.Luis ignored me. He ran at a speed that almost cut the air from my lungs.He shifted in an instant. I landed on his wolf’s back.I looked back again, all I could see was the woods, swallowing us whole with every step.“Luis, I beg you, let’s go back. Dad, he—”Suddenly, he stopped mo

~KING KAELION~The throne room felt too silent for the first time. The tension in the hall burned hotter than the torches along the black stone walls.I sat forward on the obsidian throne, my elbows on my knees, the only thing keeping me sane.“What did you just say?” My voice came out cold, but not enough.My beta, Ronan, hesitated only for a second before speaking, his voice was low.“The Alpha was… killed, during the raid, my king. It was an…”The sound that tore out of my throat wasn’t a growl, it was a roar, echoing through the room in a way that made even the walls tremble.My fingers curled tightly into the armrest. “That was not my order.”I could taste the metallic sting of fury in my throat. I took a long breath to push it down.Ronan dropped on his knees immediately, his body trembling.“I know, my king. Gamma Miles overstepped. He thought the Alpha was concealing the Shadow Bride. He acted without my command.”A muscle ticked in my jaw as I gritted my teeth. “Rashly?” I ro

~RAVENNA~For years in my existence, I had grown to fear this one thing; the very day I will be exposed before every creature.Now, I stood as transfixed, staring at the man who could easily end my life with just one word.His eyes darkened instantly, something else glowing in his eyes.“Your eyes…” he breathed, taking a step back.I fought to control my own breathing. “What about it?” I managed through a choked whisper.For a moment, he didn’t answer, making it even harder for me to breathe at all.Then, he blinked, a perplexed expression crossing his face.He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again. “I…your eyes changed colours just now.”He seemed to doubt his own self, while I fought the urge to reach out to my face in search of my lens, incase it slipped again.I cleared my throat, trying to adjust myself, but the space was too tight for us. Any small movement would have me crashing straight into his chest which seemed so inviting.“Hallucination does look good on you, Kin

~KING KAELION~My eyes moved from her hand grabbing mine to her face. The sparks shot through my veins.I felt my resistance snapping. The same one I had been holding back ever since I set my eyes on her.I wanted nothing more than to pull her against that wall and kiss her until we were both breathless.Her eyes held unshed tears, enough to unravel something buried deep in my chest.“Please… don’t hurt her,” She pleaded, the cry in her voice well heard.I subconsciously clenched my fist. Was that what she thought of me now, a bloodthirsty monster, who would easily kill anyone on his path to get what he wants.“Mate.” King muttered, pushing to take over.I knew him. I could barely keep my own control at the very least, but if he takes over, he would definitely kiss her, or do even worse.I forced him down, against the deep struggle for control going on in my head.It was only after she suddenly let go of my hand that I got back into reality, a sudden feeling of emptiness following her

~RAVENNA~Everyone was moving too fast, everything as well. I barely had time to breathe, before pair of hands began wiping my body, bathing me in a not too kind way.Nails scraped my skin, their cold hands rubbing over me in a way that made goosebumps spread over my hands.They could clearly see the wounds, but they ran the soap over them.I winced, the sting from it bringing tears to my eyes.I bit down hard on my lips to stop myself from reacting. That was what they wanted, for me to react, to give them the satisfaction of seeing my tears.One was washing my hair, not minding the fact that the soap was entering my eyes, the others washing my other body parts.I had never felt so humiliated in my entire life.I could hardly process what they were saying, that I was going to be serving the king tonight.Even a fool would understand what that means, and I am no fool.That look on his face earlier still haunted my thoughts. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me.Why do I not
