#Chapter126News For RavenI didn’t let go of his arm. I kept hanging on to it. I thought that if I let go, I will wake up from this dream that I was living right now. So, I held on like my life depended on it. It actually did though. He was my life. Another big confession to myself that I wasn’t ready to share yet.The whole ride back home, I grabbed onto his arms as he held the steering wheel with his other. He equally didn’t seem to want to let go as he interlocked our fingers and kept rubbing the back of my hand throughout. When he stopped the car right at the entrance, he pulled his arm back, but I whined. He chuckled deeply before he pulled my head to him and gave a long peck on my forehead. I smiled at his gesture. When he pulled again, I finally let go. He got off the car as I shuffled on my seat and got the seatbelt off. As I turned around to get out, he was there, with his body bent forward, his face so close to mine. I can feel his warm breath fanning my f
#Chapter127Raven in love When I open my eyes, I find a silver pair looking into mine. “Good morning, Koraki.”His voice is husky. And I find it very sexy. I close my eyes and smile as I feel him place a light peck on my forehead. He pulled me on top of him as he rolled on his back. One of his hand around my arm and the other on my very naked back underneath the hoodie. But I didn’t mind it or the tingles that spread throughout.“You know that it’s too late to go for the morning class now right.” He says quite happily. I open my eyes and push myself up on my elbow on his chest to look at him. “What?”Then I scrambled away from him and tried to get off the bed. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” But he just pulls me back and I fall on top of him again. “You don’t even like that place anyways.” “I don’t like the torturous lessons, but I enjoy going out of the house and meeting other people.” He growls softly as he tightens his hold. “I meant Emily. Emily. Let go now.” I p
#Chapter128Raven’s stupid LycanNervousness was taking up my entire body as I climbed the stairs into the cosy but spacious insides of the private jet. It was eating me inside out as I leaned back on the huge comfortable chair. But it did no good in comforting me.I keep zoning out in my own mind as scenarios kept playing in my head. What if his parents don’t like me? What if the other Lycans think that I’m weird? I did literally just come from the woods. Would they like me? Would they accept me? I’m an outsider.Seeing my tense body, Lucas pulls me on his lap. So, now I lay on him with my head on his chest. His beating heart calms me.Thump. Thump. Thump.I close my eyes and let my brain rest. We’ll see when the time comes. Rest for now, Raven. Just close your eyes and let go. And I fall into a warm darkness filled with his scent as sleep takes over my body.I feel myself being lifted but I was too tired to open my eyes. So, I got comfortable in his arms as I heard
#Chapter129Raven – If Only-01The knock on the door and Eliana’s loud voice breaks me out of this trance. I get free of his hold and sit up on him, my legs on either side of his waist as I look at the door. “You know, I quiet like this position. You look good from down here.” I turn around to glare at me, only to find him smirking as he’s eyeing my butt that’s only covered with a black booty short. I gasp in shock at his comment. Then I hit him hard in the belly as an oof escapes his mouth and get off the bed. I hurriedly put on his t-shirt that lays on sofa by the window as I only seem to be wearing a short and a fitting cami top. Not fair, he’s always fully clothed while I’m almost naked. Every time. What is he trying to hide? Not the time, Raven. Then I run for the door.Eliana was about to knock on my face when I quickly pulled open the huge wooden door. She stops mid-air and smiles at me. “Hey, there little beast. I have come to collect you now. Hurry up and get dresse
#Chapter130Raven – If Only-02And there he stood, a man in black shirt and black smart pants and shoe. His brown hair glued back with a black rimmed glass on his grey eyes. I applauded for his sense of style. Given that he had a measuring tape hanged around his neck, I’m assuming that he’s a designer of some sort. Great. Here we go again.“Hello ladies.” He greets us. Eliana finally let’s go of us to greet him, giving him airy kiss to either side. “Hi Liam. Let me introduce to you to Aya here.” She points at Aya who gives a small wave. “My big brother’s mate. And Amara, Lucas’ mate.” She points at me. “Hey.” I say awkwardly. “Hmm. Let’s see. According to the measurements I got from the photo Eliana sent me, I assumed your sizes. Although I might have to tweak here and there. Nothing more.” He comes to me as he pulls out his tape and starts taking my measurements, making me freeze in all kinds of poses. Ha! I’m already tired of this.“There you go, all done for you. I am
#Chapter131Raven ReadyHis hand laid on my bare thigh the whole dinner, as the piece of the dress fell on either side of my legs when I sat down. Sparks danced around where his palm grabbed me. But I was content. Coming here was a good idea. That’s what I think so far.The dinner ended quite late at night. Now I was anxious to get off this dress and the killer heel. Thank god we were sitting down the whole time. Imagine having to walk around in these. Oh, how am I going to survive ball? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.We were all standing by the door as we said our goodbye to their parents. They all retired to their own quarters, might I say. I sigh loudly after I knew they were far enough not to hear me. I lean my back against Lucas’ solid chest for some support as his arms came around me. My poor feet. “Can we just go now?” I was really tired, and I did sound tired too. Very much. I see Eliana go to Aya and take her off Elias’ arms and she came to me to do the same. I
#Chapter132Raven Meets the Royals-01We closed our eyes when the sun shined through the glass window by the bed. We were too tired now that we had stayed up the whole night. I could feel my body shutting itself as the sun rose higher. And I complied to my body’s need.It’s too noisy in here. I turn in the bed and pull the pillow over my head, blocking the sound and the brightly lit room. I don’t want to wake up. I groan clearly voicing my annoyance to whoever was disturbing my sleep.“Wake up little beast.” I hear Eliana’s voice close to me as I feel the pillow being pulled off my face. Then I feel a hand tug me up, making me sit upright. I groan again but I don’t open my eyes. I’m so sleepy. “We only have a few hours before the ball starts. Wake up.” She grabs both my shoulder and starts shaking me.“We need to start getting ready.” She shouts as I finally open my eyes to glare at her. Ugh. “You clearly said we have a few hours. Let me sleep some more.” I try to fall bac
#Chapter133Raven Meets the Royals-02Silence fills the room. It’s so much to take in. But it makes me feel sad. My chest tightens slightly. Why? No matter how strong, a mother cannot bear to part with their children. It really hurts when I think about the mother. The queen. Why? “Raven” I look up to Eliana. Her eyes are filled with emotions that I cannot read right now. I feel my stomach twisting uncomfortably. “Tonight, whatever you do, please stay close to Lucas.” Her eyes beg me. “If she were to truly show up, you need to be with him. Please.” “Why-”But she doesn’t let me finish my sentence. “He will tell you later. Although he should have done it sooner.” She has a very sad look on her face. “He should have marked you before this. But it’s not my place.”She breaths deeply before she smiles and gets up. “Ladies, we are so late for the ball now. I’m guessing that they are already there. Wait, hold on, I didn’t know you had a tattoo. When did you get it done?” She
