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

On the same day he claimed Rick's pack, we got married and he claimed me as his Luna and queen. That was the most exciting moment I have ever had in my years of existence.Our wedding was a grand celebration, with wolves from all over the kingdom coming to witness our union. Raven looked dashing in his black tuxedo, his piercing blue eyes shining with happiness as he gazed at me. I wore a stunning white gown, my hair styled perfectly, and a delicate silver crown on my head. 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. We ruled our pack with wisdom and kindness, earning the respect and admiration of our pack members. I never thought I'd be loved like this. I mean, what I got from the pack members was more tha
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. But as she drew closer to the mysterious Blake, she uncovered the dark secrets he's kept hidden for years, secrets that threatened to destroy their budding bond. 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
JESSICAAfter I walked out on Antonia, I headed straight to the garden to find my peace. I didn't want anything to bother me, I didn't want anything to cause me more pain than I was feeling. I just wanted to let the pain off my head, off my chest, and the only place—the only way to get this peace of mind was the garden.The garden has been my favorite place since Antonio brought me to his home. I sat there, one minute I was busy with my phone, the next minute it's me, letting nature take over me. I couldn't recall how long I had sat there, but I knew for sure I had stayed longer than I expected.The evening came sooner than expected, unfortunately, I haven't come up with a perfect idea on how to leave this pack and everyone in it. Everyday, it feels more suffocating than it was. I can't bear the torture and hurt anymore.I decided to head back to the mansion, then I noticed there was a black car parked in front of the building which wasn't here during the day. I assumed that maybe, on
JESSICAUpon reaching Blake's mansion which took about an hour and thirty minutes from the roadside we had stopped earlier, I couldn't help but gasp in shock. Blake's home was extraordinarily beautiful. Apparently, the most beautiful mansion I have ever seen in my entire life.You know, I always thought Antonio had the most beautiful mansion in the world. But after setting my eyes on Blake's home, I think I must have overhyped Antonio's home. Everything about this place felt like I was in paradise, and if I'm to exaggerate, I'd say this was heaven on Earth.As if that wasn't enough, when I walked in, I was totally speechless. All I could do was admire, with my mouth slightly opened. "You wouldn't want flies flying into your mouth, would you?" He said with a smile.I realized how silly I had been staring, so I quickly closed my mouth. "Uhm... you have a beautiful home."He smiled. Damn, this was the first time watching him smile so genuinely and I'd say, his smile was the best I had se
