#Chapter107Oh! You Stupid Raven!“Ouch. That hurt.” I shout.Both my hands were now on my cheeks. Why did I listen to myself and slapped myself in the face? Again?The table was filled with silence for a second. Then everyone burst in laughter while I just sat there sulkily, rubbing my cheeks to ease the pain. I looked up to see his worried eyes before it went blank. Did I just dream again? Was it just an illusion again? Did I see worry in his eyes? For me? I must be mad. Of course, silly. Who am I kidding? I’m crazy. Then I laugh out loud silencing everyone else. “Oh Ravens. I think I’m losing my mind.” I wipe off the tear forming in the corner of my eyes. They all nod and continue eating their breakfast as his eyes are trying to read me. These Lycans seriously need to stop doing that.The rest of the breakfast was quiet. Well, I was. His gaze never left mine and I never bothered to look up to him. If I do that, I will only get sucked into it and do something crazy
#Chapter108Raven’s NightmareSomeone needs to stop knocking on that door. “Amara. Open up.” Eliana. Now what does she want? I peeled myself off the sheet and rolled over to the edge of the bed. Without opening my eyes, I head towards the door and open it.Aya and Eliana pushes me in as I finally open my eyes. “What are you two doing here?” I ask groggily. “Remember you told me I could choose your outfits from now on. I came here just to do that. Oh, and I bought help too.” She holds both her hand to Aya who looks equally excited.“Don’t you have a mate to hold onto you? Why you here, so early?” I look at Aya quite annoyed. “Dear Raven, you don’t have to worry about him. He’s already up and in the shower.” She replies sarcastically. When did my sister change so much? “Even more of a reason for you to be there.” I mutter as she shoves me into the bathroom while Eliana laughs hard, heading towards my closet.I can see the beginning of my nightmare.I’m dressed in a fittin
#Chapter109You Lie, RavenThe day went by fairly quick. As usual, I paid no attention to whatsoever was the professor was chanting about. At this rate, I was not going to pass any of these classes that I was taking. Not like I cared. But if Eliana still wants me to join them to campus, she might have to pull up her connection card cause we all now, it isn’t working for me.Emily was with me this morning and her non-stop blabbering didn’t help me pay any attention. Not like I was dying to. But I was quite glad, she was with me. I might save some of my sanity. Or maybe not.Oliver was waiting for me outside the class when we walked out. “Say hi to Sarah for me.” Emily calls out as she walks away to her afternoon class. “Will do.” Then I head to the parking lot. When we sat in the car, I remember that I still had his jacket in my backpack. “Before I forget. Here you go. Thank you for this.” I hand him his denim jacket.“No problem.” He mumbles and starts the car. I swear I s
#Chapter110Hold it in, RavenWhen we arrived home, everyone saw my obviously puffy face and knew that I had cried. So, I hugged Aya and cried some more. It was not like I hadn’t cried in front of them anyways.I knew Eliana was giving him accusing glare and even offered to punch him, but I shake my head while he stood there, rubbing the back of his neck, looking tense. I didn’t want to hurt him. It would only hurt me even more. Why, though?I skipped dinner that evening. I wanted to just lay on my bed and not think about anything. But I kept thinking about him. The whole damn night. What does he mean to me? Why does his presence affect me so much? Why does his absence bother me so much? Just the thought of him having a mate out there, eats my inside. Another girl, not me, made just for him. No.I don’t want to think about him with someone else.But that someone else is made for him.Let go, Raven.Just let go.Close your eyes. Tomorrow will be different. You a
#Chapter111Raven’s Confession“But I didn’t get to meet her. Or see her.” I couldn’t bear to hear anymore but he didn’t stop. “The night that I came back here… the night that rained.” No. “I felt her presence. I smelt her scent.” Please.“She smelled like the wildflower amongst the woods. Even though the rain washed it away, it-it still smelled like heaven.” Stop. “I ran after her, but she was not there. She was gone. She-she disappeared in the woods on my own land and I couldn’t see her.” He let out a low growl.I leaned my head on the window and closed my eyes. Trying to calm my aching heart. “D-did you happen to see anyone in the woods that night? I saw you go in roughly around the same time that I smelt her.” I don’t want to answer. “No. I did not see anyone.” I whisper, not letting my emotions flow through the words I spoke. He let out another deep growl.Silence. That’s how the rest of the ride was. Filled with silence. I refused to turn around or open my eyes even.
#Chapter112Raven- A Lycan That Bites I tug his hands once more and he finally let go. I turn around and walk away. You are doing good Raven. Just walk away. I inhale deeply taking in all the air that might have carried his scent. A smile forms on my lips as I inhale the familiar ocean. Goodbye Lucas. My Lycan. The only being that my heart dared to love.No, I did not go to campus. I did not go back home or the woods. I just walked down the road mindlessly. My brain now empty. No more keeping anything to myself. My heart was free of the heavy weight, but it felt tight against my chest.The day darkened as the sky above cried. It fell on me, but my steps never faltered. The sky growled with pain and poured heavily as if telling me to let go. As if it’s saying it’s okay to cry, I’ll be here to wash your tears and mute your sobs. And it did just that as I walked away from my very first and the only heartbreak.After walking for hours, I came across a quiet park. The rain sto
#Chapter113Killing Raven It all happened in a blur. I felt one of the Lycans movement behind me. In a blink of an eye, I was on his back now, like a monkey hanging on its mothers back. My legs wrapped around him, with his arms trapped inside and both my hands tightly wrapped around his neck. “Let’s test your theory and see what happens if I detach his head from the rest of his body.” I snarled as I opened my mouth wide. My teeth canines elongated, and I bit him hard. I feel all the liquid pouring into and out of my mouth as I tasted his blood. I took a huge piece of his neck as my hands held him by the jaw and twisted and pulled his head off the body. I jumped off him with his head still on my hand and tossed it in front of Brad’s legs. “Let’s see if he wakes up.”“Bravo, my little princess, I expected nothing less from you.” He holds his head back and laughs out like a maniac as if one of his man’s head did not lie in front of his feet. He is one sick bas****. I snarled a
#Chapter114Raven – end of usLucas Alexander CastellanosThis little being is the source of my agony nowadays. My mind is filled with her. Her voice. Her laughter. Everything about her pulls me to her. When I saw her come home, soaking wet covered only with that white top that hugged her like her own skin, I was mad. I could clearly see the outline of her black bra peeking through that sheer thin white material. Then I smelt someone else scent on her. The jacket she had on was not hers. I almost lost my control.Then I hear Tessa saying she has a boy that likes her. No. It can’t be. She can’t be with anyone else. But-Why am I feeling so possessive toward her? I have a mate out there. Possibly closer than I think. I want to breath in her wildflower scent once again. One more time. Throughout the dinner, I was anxious. I was mad. But when she said that she doesn’t love him, I felt a relief. But why? Then the very next day she had to go and wear that piece of clothing t
#Chapter237Forged (4) (Special)Aries BlackwoodLike a magnet pulled by its other half, I walk towards her. “This is where she offered herself to save your soul. You didn’t even know her, yet she was so keen on being with you. I had asked her why she was so willing to love someone that doesn’t even know her existence?” Then she looks at me with a sad smile on her face. “You know what her answer was?”I shake my head, my eyes still on hers as I try to control these emotions wanting to pour out of me once again. “She told me she could hear your soul. That she could understand your heart. Said she would womb your sin and find a place where you both can be together in this loop of infinity.She was willing to sacrifice herself just to hear you laugh. I warned her. But my daughter is too stubborn for her own good.” She too shakes her head and chuckles softly. “I told her that just because she wants to be with you, doesn’t mean that you too would want the same. And you know what sh
#Chapter236Forged (3) (Special)Aries BlackwoodI open my eyes to the darkness.Pitch black darkness was all I could see. And I doubt if my eyes were even open at this point.But then I see something glimmer distance away and so I reach towards my only source of light which guided me to a land, painted in red, soaked in blood. Piles and piles of dead bodies covered the entirety of the land and there he stood, a boy with a sword pierced right through his heart.He holds his ground until no heart beats the land. Then he too falls on his knees. Swinging his sword up and onto the ground, he holds his wounded body upright as if proving the land that he was invincible even in death.And as something in that blood-soaked golden hair spurs my curiosity, I inch closer towards him, studying the lines of his equally bloodied face but his piercing blue eyes stops me from going any closer. For I see a replica of my own eyes. For I see myself in him. Baffled at the image of my younger se
#Chapter235Forged (2)Althea SilvermoonA group of rogues that wished to live in a pack again.With no place to return, no place to call home, they had chosen to remain on this barren land until their bare bone was the only proof that they once lived. And as my father’s words chanted itself over my head for the uncountable time, I had healed the hurt and guided them home as promised. Maybe that’s the reason they could bear to be with me. For they only saw me as their saviour and nothing more.I sigh softly as I feel the warmth of the flames. The only proof that I lived was the light rise and fall of my chest. Although alert, the only melody I was interested in listening to was the soft crackling of the wood as it sacrificed itself and burned into ashes.Thump.All of a sudden, I hear my heart thump loudly.Once. Just once.But it was enough to break me out of my empty thoughts. Lifting my chin higher, I place my palm over my heart to feel that lost sense once more. Sadly,
#Chapter234Forged (1)Althea SilvermoonMy feet digs deeper into the scorching golden sand as I make my way further into the land of dunes. The sun sits hot on the crown of my head, and my forehead beading with sweats, trickles down, dampening the white cloth covering my eyes as I advance further into the land with no direction. With no aim.I don’t know how long or how far I had travelled. I have passed through lands, crossed the ocean. I have even travelled across the universe with Alex always by my side. The essence of my life now engraved on the entirety of the vast universe.Had it been a century? A millennium? Or had it only just been years?I look up to the sky, feeling the sun hard against my face and I exhale tiredly.I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore.The only thing that I knew was that I was once again back on this deserted land, occupied only with silence and the occasional howling of the wind. But my soulless body preferred its silent words anyways
#Chapter233Free (Special)Third personShe sits frozen still while the rest of the world moves on. Chaos finally gone along with both darkness and happiness. The land sits silent, too quiet to be called alive. And when everyone thinks that she will never come out of her grief, she stands herself tall, although tiredness evoking of her, she moves even though forced.With face as empty as her heart, she carries herself forward, towards the edge of land and Alex comes forth from her shadows. Taking her in the strong hold of his arms, he descends, wings spread wide, down to the land where flowers bloomed beautifully all around. And when he lands, Althea moves out of his hold, her eyes solely to the front as she gracefully glides through the narrow path. Ignoring all eyes on her, she continues to move forward to where her mother sleeps within that vast tree, her pale skin now as white as the snow covering the mountains. She stands before her mother and the man, she once loved as
#Chapter232The goddess of life (2)Third personShe whispers the name of mate as pain becomes too much for her to bear and in a silver flash, appears a man, wrapping his arm around her defeated shoulders, holding her tall. And with a swing of his arm, he dismisses the darkness floating the land, as if it was nothing but a heavy mist.He stands dressed in white and like the goddess, he too holds the brilliance of heaven, the halo in his silver hair, and supremacy on his silver eyes. But those silver orbs remain on the girl, searching for the light, the innocence she once radiated with.He had failed to protect his little girl, one whom he loved before heaven.“My sweet, little Althea.” But Althea looks back with hard eyes, blaming him for her loss as she pulls Aries tighter in her arms, in fear that he too was against her being with Aries. “What has this world done to you, my little Althea?”She keeps her glare on him even though, Randolph, her father, held the softest gaze of
#Chapter231The goddess of life (1)Third personShe lowers her head a little. And finally, the Lycans and wolves could see the light in her eyes that now shines through the world, as those silvers torches the darkness around.But on the other hand, her coal back eyes become one with the so-called darkness. Hatred, it holds all. Slowly making the silver dull which only holds the pain, the sadness. It grieves its loss and gradually the light in them too starts to fade along.“I will destroy this land that does not hold your breath. I refuse to reside in a universe that does not accept your heart. And I will never ascend to heaven that does not house your soul.” Gruesome words roar throughout the land as the war halts, as if time froze still petrified of the rise of the dark goddess. One by one, the creatures starts to dissipate as the darkness touches its core. Until there was none that lived apart from the man called Vyncent. Staggering on his feet, he moves forward, wounds
#Chapter230The dark goddess (2)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThe wind blows hard as a loud roar echoes the field. A divine beast soars through the blue sky with his silver wings, beating on his back. The girl chuckles softy as she looks upon the beast and stretches her arm forward. And he lands inches away from her and strides with power, his marvellous wings spread high, until his furry head touches the small palm of the girl. “Would you like to join me on this journey, Alex?”He grunts softly while nudging his furry face against the palm of her hand, making a sweet giggle erupt out of the girl. The goddess walks towards them with a small smile on her face now as she looks at them both. Then her eyes shift on the silver of his wings and she steps forward. Gently stroking the soft feathers, she seems to be deep in thoughts. “I better prepare for the worst then. Who knows when you might need some kind of harmony in your life? I’m sorry to burden you with such weight,
#Chapter229The dark goddess (1)Althea Zoella Castellanos SilvermoonThen I hear the loudest roar of all, every other feeling in the air dull compared to it. I sit numb as I look up at the sky, but my vision far from it. My pitiful lips torn apart, pulled away from one another. It was me. My grief. Echoing to the heavens.Then I’m pulled into a land, heavily filled with green, blooming beautifully with tulips that stretched beyond, meeting the peaceful blue horizon. Then I see a girl dressed in white, her perfectly sliver hair blending into the pureness that she exuded. She sits on her knees as she hovers over the pond. Hesitantly, I move forward, pulled by the curiosity that held the girl’s keen eyes tightly to the pond. I stand just behind her and look over her shoulder at the clear colourless water. But instead of both our reflections, I see a man. One that looks very much like Aries with his golden hair now shorter, trimmed and his face void of the light stubbles. He loo
