#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
#Chapter115Raven’s Scent-01Lucas Alexander Castellanos“What do you mean you let her go?” Aya’s voice trembles as tears stream down her face. “She would never leave me. She promised. And Raven always keeps her promises. You are lying.”My heart was starting to pump fast. I felt my Lycan trying to break free. I felt my eyes go darker. I was angry at myself for letting her go. But so, was he? Why? Why? Why?A deep growl escapes my lips as I clenched my fists to control this rage that was building within me. “Brother, calm down.” Tessa puts her hand straight, her palm facing towards me as she takes a step back. “We need to find Amara. We need you calm down, brother.”I close my eyes and try to force the beast inside to back down. For now. I need to be rational. I need to find her. Then what?No. I will not think about this now. I’ll leave it for later to deal with. Right now, the priority is to find her. I will find her.I open my eyes now, clear of any signs of th
#Chapter116Raven’s Scent-02Lucas Alexander CastellanosThe sun hits the dark sky as it announces the beginning of the day. We have already looked through three woodlands nearby. Still no luck. Nothing. Where is this girl? Is she in trouble? No. she’s fine. I keep telling myself. Hoping. No praying that she’s okay.My phone rings in my pocket. It’s from Sean. I quickly answer phone. “Sir, we are in a park further south as you told us to, we don’t see Miss Amara, but the park itself seems pretty weird, I guess.” He doesn’t have to say anymore. “Sean, check the area once more. Go through everything again. We’ll be there soon.” I hang off my phone and tell Elias’ to go south. Please be there. Please be safe, Koraki. I pray to the goddess up there. I’ll do anything. Please just keep her safe.As soon as Elias’ stops the car, I shoot out to meet Sean waiting by the front. He bows his head as he shows me the land that once used to be a park? If not for the bench siting in t
#Chapter117Raven – Waking upI can smell the ocean. I’m surrounded by it. It feels as if I had submerged into it. It can’t be right. I open my eyes to the extremely bright room. I blink a couple times to adjust my eyes. I see the white ceiling above me. I slowly tilt my head side to side; glass windows surround the room like a wall. Where am I? How did I get here?I tried to lift my hands up, but something heavy lays on it. It’s very warm against my cold hand. I completely turn my body to the side. My breath gets stuck on my mouth.What in the Raven’s name is going on here? Why is he here? No forget it. Why am I here?He’s sleeping beside me curled up like a big baby. His hand on top of mine as if he wanted to hold me but at the same time, he was afraid to. Wait what? You are losing your mind, Raven. Get out of here before he wakes up and sees you here. You don’t want him to get angry again.Right. Okay.I slowly pull my hand free and push the cover off me, without
