Vanessa Raven Novels & Stories

"Cressida." I turned and Raven was walking toward me with her dark curls wild and her cheeks pink from the cold. She was wearing a thick coat and a scarf that was wrapped too many times around her neck. Benita was behind her with her brown eyes soft and her smile warm and her hands tucked into the pockets of her coat. Tasha was bringing up the rear with her silver braids loose and her arms crossed and her expression unreadable. She looked like she would rather be anywhere else but she was here anyway. "Raven," I said.

ASPEN VESPER Going back to inform Raven that she had accepted her offer was a bitter moment for Aspen. Raven's cruelty was something she could not decipher, even though it was linked to how she snatched her mate. “This is wonderful!” Raven laughed loudly. “This will be the best vacation ever! We should get matching swimwear and go to the beach.” The woman reached for a notepad not too far from her bed. “What’s your bra size? 34 C? D?”

I said absent-minded. Aunt Maya came in and shut the door gently behind her. She sat by my bedside. She was all dressed up for the ball. "The king sent a special invitation to your father and his household." Are you not coming dearest?." "I'm not coming, Aunt Maya." "Your sister Ava is going to become a Luna, the head of her late mom's pack." "She abandoned the family; she abandoned dad." "She's ashamed of being an omega like dad and I." I said.

I look him in the eye, his government sent him here because they know Raven is capable of being dangerous. “I honestly didn’t believe the report. She’s very young, I’ll admit she's mature and carries herself like a warrior, but she doesn’t seem as lethal and dangerous as Dagon claimed.” Ingvar glances at his men who all nod. “Raven is very special, she’s more than just a lycan. My mate is the Goddess of Death, and she is capable of killing hundreds of thousands, if not more, in the blink of an eye if she really wanted to. However, Raven is an incredibly strong woman who is duty driven to protect her people and innocents. Raven want’s peace, she doesn’t understand people who want to rule ever

The briefest of smiles played on Raven's lips, but she said nothing, her eyes giving away a hint of amusement mixed with surprise. Yet, even as they endeavored to be there for her, Raven's enigmatic aura persisted. Her long, ebony tresses, often catching the sunlight, created a halo around her, making her seem ethereal. Her deep-set, emerald eyes held a world of secrets and experiences that both twins yearned to understand. She exuded both fragility and tenacity, a complex tapestry woven from her past. Every so often, Shade and Silas would catch her observing them—a subtle arch of an eyebrow, the narrowing of her eyes, or a thoughtful tilt of her chin. These small gestures spoke volumes of h

Whether it was because I was the Alpha’s stepdaughter or because of Ryder’s cruel games, I didn’t know. Or maybe I did. Just as I was about to leave, the sound of heels clicking against the floor made my stomach tighten. Vanessa. She strutted toward me, her group of friends trailing behind her like obedient little shadows. She was the queen of the academy—the beautiful, cruel, and untouchable Vanessa. And, unfortunately, Ryder’s girlfriend. I braced myself. “Well, well,” Vanessa sneered, stopping beside my table. “If it isn’t the charity case of the academy.”

His mate, his queen, was alive, and she was unstoppable! But Raven was no longer Raven - she had transformed into a massive, unstoppable beast, driven by a singular mission. Her speed was incredible, and Niklaus and Bella found themselves struggling to keep up. They frantically scanned the sky, their eyes scouring the horizon for a glimpse of her majestic form. But she was gone, vanished into the distance, leaving them to wonder where she was headed.

“Nora is the last of your step-siblings that's alive. And Andrew Miller doesn't do too much again because he's getting old. I'll leave you to make your decision now, Raven. Do you really think you have enough power and resources to take down the richest and most deadly mafia lord in America?“ Raven flinched when he heard Venom's question, like he had indeed been drunk and the question knocked him back to reality. Silence reigned in the car for minutes. Venom finally chuckled and cleared his throat: “I guess your answer's in the negative, Raven.“ “No!“ Raven suddenly said. “I'm going to take down Andrew Miller and the whole of the Black Mambas or die trying. And I'm going to start working tow

Two hours after Valerie woke up, she found herself sitting infront of the vanity while her maids working on her hair and makeup. Usually she would have told them not to bother as she doesn't like to wear makeup. But today she is too numb to open her mouth and tell them to leave her alone. She is wearing a black dress, the colour of the Raven's. She picked this colour for Raphael. She is missing him too much and the pain is unbearable. She is constantly touching the pendant around her neck.

Raven reached for a pack of cigarettes and held out the packet for Elena. She shook her head. “I don't smoke.” “Yet…” Raven added. Silently, Elena watched Raven place the stick of cigarette between her lips and light an end on fire. Raven didn't look like most of the girls back home. Dark purple hair that shimmered faintly under the light, tanned skin, face piercings and a tattoo sleeve. Raven blew out a puff of smoke. “So what're you in here for?
