Raven Of The Inner Palace Characters Novels & Stories

She inquired politely, pointing to the raven. Anna chuckled softly, her expression looking amused as she gave Marcella her soul-reading stare. "Oh, no, dear. This is my companion, Orion. He's more than just a pet; he's a loyal friend and confidante." Marcella watched as the raven turned its head to regard her with piercing eyes before cocking its head to the side slightly. There was something uncanny about the bird's gaze; it looked like it was judging her in its head. Something told her it wasn't the kind of bird one should mess with.

That Esmee, Omem, and the coven also remembered everything. ‘That's right, my love. Rodolf was the one who knew, he could call me in case of danger. He sacrificed his sexual relationship with Esmee to protect you.’ Raven looked at her. ‘I'm afraid what Esmee will do to me if she realizes. ‘ He grinned. ‘Yes, boy then you're screwed,’ laughed Maddie ‘Who is that girl who was with you when you were saved?’ she suddenly asked. ‘A member of Ljö sal for, the white elves,’ said Raven, ‘a people my family is responsible for. I saved her on my way to you. Her name is Ilva.’

But she had done nothing to earn it. Unlike Ravina. Ravina had never cared about power. She had never needed to prove herself through manipulation or empty words. She had been a warrior, a protector, a leader in her own right. And I had thrown her away for this. My hands clenched into fists under the table. I was a fool. I turned back to the elders. “The mating ceremony is postponed.” A heavy silence fell over the room. Amira sprang up from her chair. "You can't do this!" She was shrill, frantic. "Do you know how this is going to make me look?"

“I am asking you as a friend, not as Luna of Sundrop Gem. I need to know more about our gracious hosts, and I suspect few others in this castle would tell me the truth.” She sighs and pulls a faintly purplish-gray dress from her wardrobe. “I don’t like talking about this.” “And I apologize for asking.” My eyes water. “But my father lies dead. I need to know.” “You can change behind that screen, if you like.” She gestures to a folding screen, then pulls down the high neck of her dress to reveal four thin, jagged scars in a row. “Blanca—Queen Raven, as you know her—can control animals. Once, we were having a disagreement, and she sicced a cat on me. It nearly tore my throat open.”

I didn’t know Iris, but I had seen her a few times in the palace. “Mira knew,” Adrian added casually. “Or at least she suspected.” “That’s impossible,” Raven said, her voice already losing composure. “You are lying.” “Am I?” He replied smoothly. “I don’t think so, darling. If I were lying, why was she within the hunting grounds?” “You are twisting this,” Raven shot back defensively. “You crossed my boarders and trespassed on a sacred night, and you think I am going to believe anything you say when you are clearly the enemy here. Not Mira. Not my people.”

“I'm here. What do you want to talk about?” My pulse raced as I stared at him. Somehow, I felt like a prey locked up with a predator. I hated the way his eyes gazed into mine. It made me feel small. "I know the truth." "What truth?" I replied, trying not to freak out. “You’re not Vexley Aleron," Kael said, gradually walking up to me. “You’re Ravenna. The Omega who was once dead.” Damn it! How did he even know? I tried to look confused, but I wasn't sure I pulled it off.

I said and then turned to prepare myself for my departure. I am sure that as he called that old king called Dark Raven, that man earlier must be Damian's brother. Well, maybe he inherited their fathers rudeness so I am now a hundred percent certain of his identity as another prince. I looked around and also found out that Damian's and Dark Raven's palaces are so different. So gloomy and creepy unlike Damian's that is now adapting to my preferences for lights.

I watch the door open, Bear, Hawk and Doc walking in and sitting. “Take a look.” I watch as Grayson holds out the box and envelope. Why is he showing them? I stare at him. “Raven’s past is coming back, it’s someone who likes to kill those she is close to. So we’re calling in everyone, if we’re not with her, we need at least three more guys watching her closely.” “You said those she is close to?” Doc looks at us and we nod. “Yes, that includes Ava, so if we’re not going to be with Ava, we need more people around her.” I won’t let Grayson pretend like Ava isn’t a target.

If only she record it she would so she could watch it multiple times in her own leisure. Raven looked around her in silence. She saw how the crowd stared at her like they were watching a movie that is nearing it’s climax. You could see it in their faces, that they have been waiting for so long that they are losing their patience. They are all as excited as Celia to see Raven be punished. Raven, the villain of the story. Raven who had gotten to greedy and ambitious that she betrayed her own best friend who was so kind to her just so she could be the Luna of this pack.

In the palace of Arodona, a storm was brewing, and it was a storm that would test not only the bonds of blood but the very foundations of the kingdom itself. The group of guards, led by Sylvian, followed King Roberick through the grand corridors of the palace. The air was tense with anticipation as they approached Lady Salena's chambers. Roberick's steps were deliberate, his emotions a tempest within him. He had always been protective of his sister, but the gravity of her actions had left him with no choice but to confront her.
