Notice Anything Different Raven Novels & Stories

And as the past had taught them, treading cautiously was paramount, lest they lose their way. Raven, the enigma at the center of the twins' whirlwind of emotions, stood before Shade. As he poured out his heart, trying to bridge the gap of understanding, he closely observed her reactions. However, what he saw was not the solace or comprehension he so deeply yearned for. Instead, the transformation in Raven was undeniable and disconcerting. Her eyes, usually akin to pools of clear, vibrant water, now bore the appearance of a guarded fortress. The expressive windows to her soul, which previously reflected warmth and compassion, now mirrored restraint and caution.

Raven's POV The second year started differently from the first year. I noticed the difference on the first morning when I walked across campus to my opening lecture. I did not feel the specific alertness of someone in unfamiliar territory, but instead felt the ease of someone who knew where they were going and had earned the right to walk there without second-guessing every step, in a way that felt deserved. Alaric noticed it too because he said over breakfast, "You look different this year."

Forever. And it scared her. What if... What if she fell too deep and.... Sighing, Raven stood up from the floor, dusting her joggers and setting the frame back on the desk as she walked to her rooms window and opened it. Down below were people chatting and walking around. Except two figures caught her eyes. Frowning, she headed down. * As Raven stormed toward the men, she realized, annoyingly that Axel wasn't like any wolf she had seen. He wasn't muscular, and his skin wasn't tanned.

It was what I thought. The reason you saw many ravens is because you do not just wield the magic of the ravens, you are the keeper of the ravens…

Raven remarked pressing her hands harder. The coldness was even colder now. I released a breath that came out in a white cloud. Raven was scanning through my memories so fast I could barely see which ones they were. If I couldn't tell what I was seeing I was certain she couldn't. Then she began to slow down, only the images she was viewing were of things I'd never seen before.

Raven's eyes sweep over me, slow and appraising, before their lips curl into a knowing smile. "Oh, honey," they purr, clapping their hands together. "This is going to be fun." Raven practically vibrates with excitement, their eyes sweeping over me like I'm a couture gown they can't wait to tailor. Neon lights reflect off their sequined jumpsuit, throwing glimmers of purple and silver across their dark skin. I shift under their gaze, suddenly hyper-aware of how ordinary I must look compared to the dazzling explosion of colour around me. But Raven doesn't seem to mind. They take a step closer, eyes glinting.

But all their focus was on one figure standing near the northern gate. Raven. He looked the same—tall, regal, his hair twisted into a crown of obsidian braids. But something about him was wrong. His eyes were too wide, his lips twisted in a knowing smirk. Blood glistened on his chin. Whether it was his or someone else's', I couldn’t tell. Gasps rose around us.

But I will help you in every way that I can,” I looked lovingly at her, my sadness was replacing my anger, I needed her and so did Raven in more ways than she would ever admit. She reached out and grabbed my hand but a sudden change in the air had her stop in her tracks. A cold breeze swept in, followed by scents that didn't belong on this territory. Raven was facing me, her eyes turned red and the veins under her skin were starting to throb and grow darker. Her fangs came out and she lifted her finger to her lips, indicating for me to be quiet. I saw how her nails had grown, they looked similar to claws but more beautiful and not as animalistic. They were pearl-white, glistening as the slig
