#Chapter118Raven, His?Silence.Did he leave?I turn to the side and place my ear right on the door as if it was doing any better than to hear the silence that filled the room outside.Time passed and I just stood there.“I… I’ll- I’ll give you five minutes to change.” He mutters the words. If not for my incredible hearing I would not have heard him. “Not more.” He says louder and I hear his footsteps fading and the door being shut. Thank goddess. At least the door seems fine. I cannot say the same for the lock though. I release a deep breath and slowly pulled the door open. I put my head out through the narrow opening and looked around. No one. Okay, and that’s my cue to run. I dash my way to the closet holding the towel tightly on my chest. I go straight for the drawer full of lingerie and grabbed the first pair that was neatly put together.As I put my legs through, I realised that I had chosen the most revealing pair of all. Why now? I didn’t have time,
#Chapter119Raven, a fool-01I struggled to get free of his hold on me but when he said the word, I was frozen in his arms. What? Wait. Did I hear him say ‘mine’? As in his?“Ha-ha” But I’m definitely not laughing. “How am I yours?” I manage to say but still clearly am very much in shock. While he quickly grabs a grey hoodie with a zip and puts in on me, taking advantage of the state I was in.“You have a lot of explaining to do, Koraki.” He then sweeps me up in his arms as I let out a loud yelp. I am so high up from the ground now.“What are you doing? Put me down.” I struggle to get free, but my efforts are futile. So, I give up and cross my arms as he laughs and exits my room.“The rest of them have been worried about you. Especially Aya. You need to see them before they come in barging on us.” He now walks down the stairs. I see the three on the sofa, face laced with worry. A smile forms on my face and I struggle in his arms once more. But this time he lets me off.
#Chapter120Raven, a fool-02“But what do you mean wasn’t? As in past tense?” Aya emphasis ‘wasn’t’ as she questions me. Her eyes demanding answers. “Well, what happens if you, umm, happen to, umm, isolate a Lycan’s head from the rest of his body?” Aya’s mouth opens in shock as Elias’ brows just furrow a little while Eliana huffs a laugh. “Well, I’m thinking that they might not be alive anymore.”“Wait. Back up again. They? There were more?” Elias’ is more shocked now. “A few others.” I mutter. I felt his arms tighten on me as a growl thundered on the side of my neck where his face now rested. But I let him. It calmed me. I was more comfortable this way. But once in a while, his breath tickled me. Just a little.“But- but we did not smell another Lycan in the park.” Eliana counters. “It’s her doing.” Aya mumbles to herself as Eliana turns her way and Elias’ places her on one side of his lap so he could see her face now. “My love, why do you think it’s her?”“I don’t think
#Chapter121Why Not Raven?I look at his perfectly handsome face, patiently waiting for me to answer. But I can also hear his heart, it’s pounding. “He said, he knew me.” I look at his chest where his heart was beating rapidly. I slowly put my hand out to reach his heart. My palm against his heart as it slowed down but was still very fast.“He said that I was a Lycan too.” My eyes flicker back to his. He had a knowing look on his face. So, I continued. “He was supposed to kill me the moment I was born. Seems like he couldn’t, so he left me in the woods, thinking that the animals there would do his job for him. Unfortunately, the woods protected me.” I release a breath as I break off his stare and turn to Aya.“He had been watching us the moment we left the woods. He would have tried to kill me if we hadn’t met Eliana that day.” Then I face Eliana. “This whole time he had his eyes on me. He said something about letting me live if only he hadn’t seen me with you, Lucas.” I look
#Chapter122Raven’s Safe HavenI somehow manage to escape his arms and lock myself back in my room. Not that the lock was working but at least I wasn’t zapped with currents and do nothing about it the entire day. It was killing me. This time I take my baggy top and boxy underwear as I went for shower. I’m being careful, just in case, incidents like this morning happens again. Also, because the lock to the bedroom is not working and I don’t want anyone to walk in on me with just a towel to cover my body. And definitely not him.I take a quick shower. When I come out of the bathroom, my bedroom is very empty. “Good” I mutter but I’m disappointed. Why did I hope to see him here? Lying on the bed. Waiting for me.Raven. Oh, Raven. Wake up.I shake my head as I climb on the bed and lay on my back. I stare at the white nothingness that covers the ceiling. I blink once. Twice. Then I turn my head to the side and bring my arm out to feel the empty space beside me. I let out a
#Chapter123One Confused Raven The smell of the ocean fills my being as I gain control over my consciousness. I feel something heavy on my chest and something draped over and around one of my legs. I feel tingles all over my body but mostly on my flat belly where something heavy lies on top, as well. No matter how hard I try to pull myself free of this weight, I cannot.The only thing that is free is my right arm and right leg. I slowly open my eyes to the plain white ceiling and blink a few times. I rub my eyes to free myself of the sleep and bring my elbow to the side to lift myself up. But the only thing that moved was my right leg and my head but not much though as he was peacefully sleeping with his head on my chest with a white t-shirt on. What?He laid there on my bed. With me. One of his arms under my head, acting as a pillow. His eyes were still closed, and I sensed that he was still asleep. He looked so calm. His messy bed hair made him look very handsome. And very
#Chapter124Raven Belongs To Who?No matter how much I wanted to get away from him, all my efforts are futile. I mean how can I when he’s literally onto me every second. Either hugging me or holding my hands. The whole ride, he had his hands on my thigh because I wouldn’t give him my hand to hold and I scooted further away from him. But he decided that he could still hold on to me by grabbing my thigh now. Oh, why?When we arrived at the parking lot, they were already there with their cars. He swiftly parked it next to Eliana’s white Porsche. I quickly grabbed onto my bag and run out the door. “I’ll see you later.” I shouted out as I dash inside the building. Thankful that none of them are with me on any of my classes.I walk into the class, finding Emily already seated on her chair. I hurry over as I feel eyes on me. “Hey, Emily.” I take a seat next to her. “Hey Ama-”“Woah” I turn her way, but her eyes and mouth are wide open. “What happened to you now?” I ask confused,
#Chapter125Raven’s confession IIThe car journey was filled with silence. I was shocked silenced. My mind kept thinking of hundreds of thousands of reasons for his declaration. But I came up with nothing. The only question that came to my mind again. Why?As we passed the gate, he turned the car on the other side of the road leading to the cliff, where I decided to end everything. Yet here we are again. Karma keeps playing around with me. He stops the car in the same spot as the last time and gets off. Now he’s on my side with the door wide open for me to step out. Having nowhere to hide and nothing else to do or say, I comply.He closes the door behind me and cages me in as both his arms are stretched and on top of the car on either side of me. I’m once again entrapped by him and completely engulfed by his scent. The feeling of statics runs in the air as it lightly bounces off my skin every now and then. What is this feeling? Why am I feeling this?He leans his head
