RAVEN POV

“This works.”

Aella gave a nod.

Since we got to the boutique, it was anything I preferred she agreed with. “Do you always have to agree, Aella?” At some point, I couldn't hold back my thoughts so I asked the question. “Take another cart and go picking. I'll filter them when we're ready to pay and leave, mm?”

Happily, she gave a nod and started to walk away. The next time I saw her, she walked past me and headed to a section of socks - what I believe we needed. Winter was coming and the babies would be needing as many socks as possible. The thought of having them in less than three months brought a smile to my face.

It was high time I went for my next appointment, and it happened to be tomorrow. Just when I wanted to move again, I looked up and it looked like there was a gaze I met, but this person was gone from my sight.

Was I imagining things?

Of course not. I held the handle of the cart and started to walk again, smiling with the many thoughts running around my head

    Ravens POVLogan didn’t move for a while after that. His knee stayed warm against my shoulder, his fingers hovering just close enough to mine that I could feel the tiny shift in his breath when he finally stood up.“Come on,” he murmured, tapping my hand lightly. “You’re exhausted.”“You’re injured.”“Still doesn’t change the fact that you can’t sleep on the kitchen floor.”“I wasn’t planning on it.”He gave me a look that said you absolutely were, and I ignored it.When I pushed myself up, my legs felt weird like the panic from earlier had soaked into my bones and was only now fading out in little tremors. Logan noticed of course he did and he reached out instinctively. His hand hovered at my waist like he was waiting for permission.I didn’t pull away.He steadied me with one hand and kept it there longer than necessary. Neither of us mentioned it.The hallway was dim when we walked through it, but the house felt warmer than before, as if his presence had melted a layer of cold I di

    Raven Logan barely had time to take off his hoodie before I reached for him again.I didn’t mean to.It wasn’t planned.My body just moved on its own like some leftover panic was still stuck inside me and touching him was the only way to quiet it.He didn’t pull away.He let me grip the front of his shirt and lean against him for a second, like he understood that I needed that tiny moment to make sure he was real.“You didn’t eat.” His voice was quiet but firm.“I wasn’t hungry.”“You still should’ve eaten.”I rolled my eyes at the tone, but my voice came out softer than I meant. “I was a bit busy worrying whether you were alive.”His jaw twitched, like my words hit him harder than I intended.Aella cleared her throat from behind us. “As much as I love watching emotional reunions, I’m going to bed before I turn into a third wheel. Kids are sleeping. Keep your volume low.”Logan shot her a glare. She smirked, waved at him, then disappeared down the hallway.The house went quiet again,

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna   Chapter 172

    RavenThe house was quieter than usual, the kind of quiet that made every small sound feel very loud and obvious. The faint ticking of the wall clock, the soft hum of the heater, Aella flipping through a children’s book on the couch while the twins leaned against her… everything sounded too sharp. Too too obvious. I sat at the edge of the dining table, elbows on my knees, hands clasped so tightly my knuckles had gone pale. I tried to steady my breathing, but it kept slipping, breaking, fluttering in my chest like a bird desperate to get out.Logan had been gone for hours.He said he’d check in.He said he’d be quick.He said he’d come back the very same way he left. But every minute that passed felt like another invisible fist pushing down on my lungs.Aella lifted her head. “You’re going to chew through your lip if you keep doing that.”I blinked. I hadn’t even realized I was biting it.“I’m I’m fine,” I murmured.“No. You’re not.”I didn’t respond. I didn’t have the energy for a li

    LOGAN’S POVNight was drawing close as we rode deeper into Moonfyre territory.The air was cold, colder than it should’ve been for autumn, and every breath left a faint white cloud in front of me.But even the icy wind couldn’t numb the heaviness lodged in my chest.I kept hearing Raven’s voice, raw, broken, furious.“This is all your fault, Logan!”I inhaled slowly, letting the ache settle in deeper. Raymond rode beside me, silent as always, though I caught him glancing my way more than once. Probably checking if I was going to break apart before we reached Seraphine’s home.I wouldn’t. I didn’t have that privilege.“Alpha,” Raymond finally murmured, adjusting the cloak around his shoulders. “We’re close.”I nodded once. “I know.”The scent of ash was faint but unmistakable. The wind carried it straight to us, threading through the cold air like smoke trailing from an extinguished candle.My jaw flexed.Seraphine hadn’t deserved to die alone here. Not like this. And Raven… Raven dese

    RAVEN'S POV"Raven? Are you awake?”A knock followed Aella's voice from the door, and I cupped a hand over the flickering flame of my candle, to steady it, as I answered, “yes, come in.”I furrowed my brows as I shot a worried glance at the connecting door, the room had been quiet for so long that even the smallest sound felt like a shatter, and I didn't want Aurora or Reed to awaken.I dragged my sleeve across my face, smearing away tears that had already dried and cracked on my cheeks as the door creaked open.Aella stepped in, still in her tunic, her hair half undone like she hadn’t slept either. She gave me a warm smile as she made forward and sat down beside me on the bed.“Why aren't you asleep?” She asked and I shrugged, shoving down the knot in my throat.“I was, I just woke up…before you knocked.”Aella nodded, then placed a warm, gentle hand on my arm. “I came to take the children,” she said quietly. “So you can get a well deserved rest tonight.”I tried to smile, but it di

    AELLA'S POV The heavens began to pour.It came soft at first, tapping the glass like a whisper, but then it gathered strength, drumming against the panes until the sound filled every corner of my chamber.The sound was almost comforting, and perhaps it would've if only the gloominess of the weather didn't match mine.I sat curled on the edge of my bed, elbows propped on top of my knees, and my chin resting on my palms. My cloak lay abandoned on the chair, a heap of dark wool that smelled faintly of sweat and the damp hallways I’d walked through earlier. I hadn’t bothered to change out of my boots either even as it left slight dirt marks on the floor.I'd just have to clean up later.The hearth was unlit. I couldn’t bring myself to light it. The shadows suited my mood too and that of the whole castle since Raven got the news of her aunt's demise.Seraphine, I'd known the woman well, well enough to understand that she loved her family, her children and her nieces, yes, even Lila.Now
