Novel & Cerita Ravenpaw And Barley

🌒 Chapter Eleven: Preparing for War The compound was alive with movement as dawn broke, mist clinging to the training fields where wolves shifted, sparred, and howled commands at one another. Raven stood on the balcony above, arms crossed, eyes sharp, her black hair pulled into a tight braid down her back. Her wolves felt the tension, the coming storm, and they were sharpening their claws, checking weapons and reinforcing wards on the borders. She could feel Ragnar behind her, his presence a warm hum against the cold air, the bond pulsing steady between them like a heartbeat.

"And what gives you the right to talk to me like that? Grayson's future mate hasn't said anything, so what makes you think you have any say at all? All eyes turned toward me. Raven's tears fell immediately, her hands trembling as she removed the white deer cloak. She then held it out to me with both hands. "I'm sorry, Ella," she said. "I've loved white deer since I was little, and I got carried away. If you really wanted it, you could've just said so. Why did you have to let the she-wolves single me out, bully me, and humiliate me like this?" I was genuinely speechless. What did any of that have to do with me? I hadn't said a single word. Grayson stepped forward and pulled her into his arms

"No one else will teach me because you told them not to. I'll have to drag the answers out from you." "But how is Raven alive? I mean, I don't want her to die, but what I heard is that she was supposed to be dead." Knox looked thoughtful. "There's something off about Raven.” “Uuh?" “Her scent changed. It was floral, but now it's sand mixed with rainwater—more like mud in rainwater. Also wolves don't have allergies, but she claimed she couldn't have honey during yesterday's dinner. I can't pinpoint what's wrong."

“Oh, if I were you, I won’t trust Giles and Adam. Don’t trust anyone, Barbie.” I should not have blinked because after I did, Raven was gone. I wished to sit for a while to breathe and relax after that intense conversation with Raven, but I didn’t have time. I turned on the path toward my grandmother’s house, afraid that the bad wolf had devoured my old grandmother. I did not stop running until I reached the main porch, where I found her sitting on her rocking chair with the cat on her lap as if she had never left the place from last night. Only she did because I could see the plume of steam above her coffee cup.

But our conversation after that was great. I ran into him a few more times around the town over the next few days, and we got to know each other. We bonded after that, and he introduced me to Barley. Barley was the Papa Bear of the group. An older, jolly fellow, taller than most Lycans, but with a bigger gut than them too. Yet, seeing him in battle was like watching a child on Christmas morning. I had never seen such a large and round man move so quickly and fluidly with as big a smile on their face.

He tried several times to talk to me but it had only been last night when he asked me if he thought he had the chance of being mated to Raven. Raven had shifted on her birthday. Her wolf was stunning yet unique, a mix of grey and black. But the thing that stood out was that her wolf form had two different colour eyes just like Raven herself. "I don’t know what tonight will bring. I mean, maybe neither could be my mate." She murmured. This mating ceremony was hosted by Dad’s pack, and although it was smaller than the mating ceremony that The Night Walker Pack held, it was still pretty big. "You won’t know until you get down there." I said gently.

Ravan said showing most adorable smile as he and Vivan both started playing together, while they were playing one of Ravan mother loyal servant saw them together and immediately informed same to her owner ‘Suryakala devi’, hearing which Ravan mother got furious and immediately rushed out her son, seeing Ravan laughing heartily with vivan she harshly pulled him back and slapped vivan right across his chubby cheeks “thuje kitine barr jaha hai mere bête se durr rahne ko ghatiya ladke (Translation: How many time have I told you to stay away from my son you bastard) meanwhile Vivan mother ‘Snehakumari’ came there and immediately cooed her son in her embrace and “Malkin iss bar iss maff kar do agl

Raven pushes him back and they run out, my body relaxes, and she can fight for herself. “Raven!” I look at Ava as she complains, Raven spins on the table to face her. “Don’t, he deserved more, I didn’t hit him.” She isn’t wrong. She jumps from the table and continues to dance, and I see Ava smiling and relaxing again. Raven stands on the bar dancing, slowly unfastening her top. She’s wild, I move and adjust my jeans. I watch the song finish and she jumps down and hugging Ava. We’re silent, it’s a new person in the city, and by the sounds of it, she’s staying.

She had a surprised look on her face, “It was on my path when I walked in here…” Edgar beamed with smiles, “The book has found you, you can finally fulfill your task!”, he flipped the pages for a while, “Yes!” “What is it?”, she leaned closer , “Raven keeper”, she read. “Yes Raven Keeper” Edgar read through for a while, “Yes Cleopatra this is it. 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…

Lyra's POV The familiar scents of pine and wildflowers enveloped me as I made my way down the winding paths of the Silvermoon Pack's territory. My heart swelled with anticipation and pure joy. I couldn't wait to find Damien and share the incredible news - after so many cycles of heartbreak, I was finally pregnant with our pup. Ria, my wolf, thrummed with excitement within me. "He'll be at the training grounds, I can smell his scent trail," she murmured.
