Happy Birthday Raven Novels & Stories

And even if I succeeded in rescuing her, I'd still be waiting for her to die and hoping he returns to me? I looked at Damon, my sister, and my parents. "You know what?" I bit out, my tone cold. "Congratulations." They were looking at me in dismay. They were expecting me to get this. To be nice. To be thoughtful. Not today. Just as I was sitting there, a familiar voice hit my mind. Ravina? Where are you? I've been trying to reach you. Anna. My best friend. Our pack's healer. I need you to take me for a ride, I told her.

However, he had coldly refused, saying, "Our marking wasn't even voluntary. Do you really think watching a meteor shower will magically make us happy?" This time, I no longer held any expectations. But to my surprise, Raven spoke first. He said, "If you want to see the meteor shower, I can go with you. But I'll be busy until the ceremony, so don't bother me again before then." I looked up at him, stunned by his sudden offer. But when I thought about it, it wasn't so strange. After all, Raven might have a sharp tongue, but he had a good heart. Otherwise, why would he risk his life for me three times, even though he never loved me?

Making me feel like i just asked the worst question. "Well", he said his voice going back to how it usually was, the voice that would make a stranger run for the hills. "Well I'm Bryan Raven, lived in New York most of my life till now. Cause my dad thinks I can jump off our apartment, so here I am being catered by you guys", he said finally with his face going plane. "Well trust me they're way more places to kill yourself here than in New York", i said matter factly trying to lighten his mood. "And you'll also have enough reasons not to, believe me", I said practically whispering it, hoping he heard me. I hope i never give up on him, he deserves so much, he deserves to br fought for.

He protected me because he loved me. And love and hope were things no organization, no matter how ancient or powerful, could ever truly destroy. As the vehicle plunged into the darkness of the winding mountain roads, leaving the world I knew behind, I closed my eyes and made my own promise. I am Raven Villareal Calder. I am the heir to the truth. I am the guardian of the future. And I am done running. Whatever comes. Whatever monsters or secrets or wars lie ahead. I will face them. With him. And together we will bring the light down upon every last shadow.

“I’m so sorry.” Raven moved closer to me, her dark eyes studying my face in that too-smart way she had. She was only eight, but sometimes she seemed so much older. “You’re saying goodbye, aren’t you?” she said quietly. I froze. “What?” “You’re saying goodbye,” she repeated. Her voice was steady, but I could see tears forming in her eyes too. “You keep looking at us like… like you’re trying to remember us. Like you’re going away and won’t see us again.”

CHAPTER ONE “The Raven King…” Liana gasped softly. Her heart raced as she stared at the whiteboard. The words felt like music to her ears. This was it, the topic she’d been waiting for all semester. The infamous king who ruled with ravens circling his throne, the one whispered about in bedtime stories and blood-soaked legends. The lecturer finally turned to face the class. “When did this historical story take place?” Before he even finished, Liana’s hand shot up. Her pulse fluttered in excitement. She wasn’t the loud type. In fact, most people barely noticed her, but this….this was her moment.

Raven asks me. “Yep, I am fine. I just got startled by the noise and fell down,” I explain. “Reed placed an air horn, didn’t he?” Blake states. “Most probably,” I answer. Reed is the only person who would do this. “Happy birthday, honey. After school today we will open your presents ok?” Raven wishes me. Blake also wishes me, and I thank them and get ready for the day. I wear a yellow crop top, pair it with a dark blue jean skirt and wear my sneaker. I straighten my hair and leave it down.

Trisha requested with trepidation as Raven endured clearing up and replied. "This antique is from the yr of my birth. The authentic plan becomes for us to open and drink it on my 20th birthday." " "......!!" " Isabella and Trisha checked out every other. Who offered the wine and who deliberate it for commemorating Raven's 20th birthday -- the solution becomes obvious. The foster discern who raised Raven and his previous grasp of the wine cellar -- that vampire. "She advised me on my 10th birthday that she become honestly impatient. A vampire's idea of time certain is honestly different. In the end, she died first instead."

Cal groaned as I turned my head at him. “Your head still hurts?” Kelly asked. It’s my fault. I felt a sudden twist on my stomach. This was supposed to be a fun birthday vacation for Raven. But even here, he sent flowers. He knows where to find me. And he knows exactly how to frighten me. –Raven–

"Just in shock, I guess." Nicole grinned. "I can't wait to find out what happens on Friday. Happy Birthday to you! Best present ever. Showing Dwell's work will put us in the black for years." A smile curved her lips. "I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks again for the bracelet." Nicole had shown up for work today with a large mocha and a small present for Raven's birthday. The two people who never forgot were Nicole and Noah. The greatest friends a gal could ask for. Her mother had yet to call but, judging by history, she'd ring at ten tonight as an afterthought, her mind too scattered to remember sooner.
