OLIVIA'S POVI turned only to find myself alone in the bed, Raven had woken up earlier than usual. Then I began to hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, leaving me to wonder where he was going at such an hour in the morning.We never discussed him going anywhere, or did it come so sudden that he had to leave this early?I couldn't get myself to sleep, so I waited for him to finish bathing so I could ask him where he was going.He opened the door, stepping out a towel tied around his waist, leaving his chest bared. "You're awake?"I almost fell into his sweet temptation, but I refrained myself from looking too long. He noticed my body movement, and a smile crept on his face."Are you sure you really wanna look anywhere else but not me?" Why would he even ask me that when it's obviously clear that he was turning me on."You know, it would be unfair of you to ask me a question while staring at your fingers." His voice sounded a bit closer this time, so I raised my gaze to se
OLIVIA'S POVMy eyes widened upon seeing Rick. He was here to take me? No! No way!I looked at Sophia with evil eyes, "You bloody betrayal, how could you do such a thing to Raven?"She shook her head. "I wasn't doing it to Raven, I was doing it to you.""Raven must hear of this.""Of course, he has already. But sadly, before he would make it here, you'd probably be gone and dead. So, there's definitely no need to worry." She smiled.I looked down at Rick, but he was no longer there, he had made his way into the pack house.I hated myself for not being a strong wolf. How on earth can I save the pack with such weak strength? I can't even save myself to begin with.Since I couldn't save myself nor anyone, I tried to mind-link to Raven since that was the only thing I could do. Sadly, I couldn't reach him, he was so far from my reach."He'll definitely make it here, and when he does, you'll be dead by all means." I cursed."Save your breath, those threats don't work on me." She seemed less
RAVEN'S POVAll I could feel inside of me was nothing but anger and hatred. I was finally staring at my long time rival, and today seems to be no escape for either of us. We'll end things today or never. And it's either I die, or he dies."Well, I'm ready to prove them wrong." I could hear my wolf growl inside of me. The smirk on his face widened as he stared at me fearlessly. "We'll see about that.”As much as I was ready to end his life, my wolf was very much ready to tear him off into pieces.I dashed to him, grabbing him by his collar and in a blink, we were in the woods, somewhere far from the pack house.8 knew this fight was a dangerous one, and having it in the pack house wouldn't endanger a lot of things. I just want to face him without having to think of anything or anyone, but just him on the ground, bleeding in the pool of his own blood."You..." He was going to talk, but I threw a punch on his face, instantly seizing the words in his mouth."I'll end your life right her
OLIVIA'S POV"But why haven't you healed if you have more powers in you?""Because... I wanna taste what it's like to feel pain."I still don't get why he would want to punish himself for no reason when he could probably heal in a second. As soon as we stepped in, he demanded for Sophia. But the guards all said she was gone. Raven looked furious at their reply."Search everywhere, including the pack border. She won't be far." He commanded and there was an immediate search."What are you going to do to her when they find her?" I asked."I'll have to end this, and so what I couldn't do months ago."I couldn't decipher what he meant by those words, but from my understanding, it meant two things. Either he was going to kill her, or put her in a condition like Rick.I decided to ask, to clear my confusion. "You want to kill her?""Keeping her alive would only cause more harm than good. I wouldn't want to risk that." He sounded cold and determined."Isn't that going too far? Why not reject

As we exchanged our vows, I felt like the luckiest wolf in the world.Raven and I grew to love each other, conquering all challenges together.

BLURBJessica thought she knew her fate - until she discovered her true mate wasn't Antonio, the Alpha she'd longed for, but his best friend, Blake.

Meanwhile, Antonio, fueled by a sinister desire for control, will stop at nothing to reclaim Jessica, even if it means destroying her very soul. Torn between the lure of forbidden love and the danger that comes with it, Blake must confront his demons and decide: will he risk everything to save the woman he loves, or will his dark past prove too great a price to pay?****Chapter 1~ Desperate For His Love JESSICA As I watched Alpha Raven and his mate interact, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. They were so in sync, so united. It was like they were one being, not two separate individuals. Unlike Antonio and I.I glanced at Olivia, who was gazing at her mate with ador
JESSICAI took another deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. For a second, it felt as if I wasn't breathing anymore, the weight had pressed down on me, I knew I needed some time. This wasn't just something I could go about doing. I needed time. Yes! I needed some time. I have never felt this worried for anything or anyone, Antonio's tend to be totally different and I have no idea why it had to be this way. But then, I have to keep trying, no matter how hard it seems. At least, for my mental health.She pulled me into a hug, knowing that was what I wanted. "Thank you for everything, for listening to me." I said again, as if the initial time I said that wasn't just enough to show how much I appreciate her care and concern."It's not a big deal. Besides, what are friends for?" She winked at me, gently rubbing her hand on my cheek.As we returned to the mansion, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I was going to seduce Antonio, just as Olivia suggested. Maybe, just maybe, i
JESSICA I didn't realize when morning came, but when I woke up, I felt pain in my head. Every incident from last night came to my mind, Olivia's words... I tried to think about it and somehow I found out that she was right. What if I give love a chance, but this time not with Antonio? What if I do it with a different person? But that's not the problem. The problem is finding a man who's gonna love me just the same way I love him. I'm just tired, okay? I'm tired of everything. I'm tired of being a burden to someone.I'm tired of witnessing the man I love sleeping around with women like it's nothing. Sadly, he doesn't even care about my feelings. To him, everything he does is just so normal for any man to do.After I had my shower, I walked down to the dining room to check if there was something to eat. Besides, I had woken up later than my usual time, so breakfast should probably be ready by now.I stopped abruptly upon seeing the new lady comfortably sitting in the sitting room. I
