#Chapter134Raven’s Truth-01Eyes so green looks into my own pool of green. Her footsteps too, halts, as she finally notices me, as does her mates beside her who turns to look down at her. But her eyes are fixed on me. Her intense green eyes turn soft as so many emotions plays across her face. And then I saw relief on them as she let out a soft gasp.This made the king follow his mates’ eyes to look at me. Soon as his eyes fell on me, he gasped loudly, his mouth slightly open, making me break my eye contact with her and look into his hazel eyes. The queen slowly lets go of the hand that rested on his arm and takes few hesitant steps towards me before she stops. A sad but sweet smile plays on her angelic face. The crowd follows our every moment as the hall sits in silence.“Finally, I found you.” Her soft voice breaks the icy silence that fills this crowded hall.“I have been waiting for this day. For you.” Her forest green eyes are glossy with unshed tears, but her fac
#Chapter135Raven’s Truth-02Father finally dismissed the meeting after planning to search for the traitors that sits amongst us. And soon the couple both flew out the room, none of us suspecting anything as it was very late at night. I turned to hug my mother goodnight. She held my face in her hands once again as she smiled softly but her eyes quickly went to Lucas’ who was ready to jump out the door himself. “The earth indeed smells heavenly when the rain falls upon it, doesn’t it, Lucas?”But his eyes were in so much pain as he curtly nods his heads, biding goodnight as he marches out, leaving me dumbfounded. I turned back to face my mother, very confused. “What was that?”Her smile, ever so soft, her green eyes shining bright under the chandelier, holds so much happiness. “Go and talk to him. He needs you right now. He might be a bit… overwhelmed.” My brows furrow further in confusion. “But why?”“Let him be the who tells you everything.” My mother lightly pats my
#Chapter136A Hunter Raven-01A loud boom brought us apart to look out the window. To look at the commotion outside. Wild angry fire burned the far side of the palace building in flames. I heard cries and pleas alike. It looked like hell had decided to fall upon us.Lucas let go of me and quickly slammed the glass window. The pieces of glass reflected the moonlight as it showered down. He held on the side of the window and jumped to sit on it, leaning his head out to look upon the sky that was slowly getting darker. Angry dark clouds filled the sky, covering the moon and soon it poured on us, raging the flames and soon calming it down. I let out the breath that I had been holding as Lucas looked back at me. “Stay here.” His eyes pleaded me as he jumped out of the window leaving me by myself.I run after him to the window, only to see that he was long gone. To where the hell was raising. Now dark smoke raised up to meet the equally dark clouds that was raining heavily. Sti
#Chapter137A Hunter Raven-02These Lycans made stupid mistake by hunting me alone. I was a hunter. A hunter trained by the woods. I cannot be easily defeated. But little did they know. Every single Lycans I encountered, I bit or ripped their heads alike. Now my whole body was covered in blood. The small white patches of my dress were the only indication that it once used to be a beautiful pure white dress. My hair had fallen off its neat bun as half was messing hanging on my back. I know my sight was not the prettiest right now. But I didn’t care. Now my feet traced back to the grand door to the hall which was shut closed. I stayed in the shadows and listened hard. I knew something was definitely happening inside. So, I didn’t want to barge in through the front and make myself vulnerable. That was a rookie mistake. And I was no rookie.I looked around for a path. A way into the without having to walk in through the front door. Then I remembered that I had seen windows w
#Chapter138Raven – the beginning of the endAs a Lycan moved towards him, with its extended claws and razor canines, the earth beneath him opens up and he falls into the pit of hell. Loud gasps surround the hall. “What the f*** is happening here?” He yells angrily moving forward, dragging my mothers’ weak body along with him.The vines then start growing from the cracked marble flooring and wraps itself around the Lycans that held my friend’s captive. That held Lucas. It coils around their legs and twists around their body to their neck. They struggle to get free but in vain. The sharp thorns extend from the vines pierces their body. The night now filled with their cries. Until their neck’s snaps with a loud satisfying pop.I know my face doesn’t look pretty anymore as I too hold a smile equally as evil as him. I was becoming more of an animal. I was enjoying this too much. This was what I was afraid of before. I did not want to be a monster. But the situation turned me
#Chapter139The end for Raven“Giving up already?” One.“Not a fighter anymore, are you huh?” Two.“You are nothing without your Lycan.” Three.I felt his arms swing towards me as I let go. The earth beneath me rippled once again, breaking, melting the wall that protected everyone. Only to wave back up in front of me now. It slammed the Lycans hard and they ended up being sent back to another wall that has raised behind them. The earth now lowered down and melted to the ground but not without sinking those Lycans who were on their knees now. The ground hardened itself as it trapped them. Their heads were my trophy. I lunged on top of the muscular Lycan giving him no time. I grabbed his head and twisted it. But he was strong and I was weak. No matter how much strength I used, it was useless on this monster. Slowly the vines sprouted from the ground, laced with sharp thorns. It travelled up his body and slowly wrapped itself around his neck. Blood flo
#Chapter140Goodbye RavenEliana Tessa CastellanosAll we could do as we sat inside the wall created by the rich earth was to listen to the world outside. Growls. Howls. Cries of pain. A war was breaking.And here we stood. All helpless. Defeated.There was nothing we could have done or we could do as this vile toxin still sits in our veins, making us weak, powerless. A Lycan without its Lycan. A gift without its source.All we could do was wait. Patiently.Somebody out there fought for us. Protected us. These walls not only shielded us from the war raging outside but it also shielded our vision. We don’t know what’s going on outside. But all we know is our little beast is all by herself with these monstrous traitor Lycans. There were way too many of them for her to win. One Lycan amongst thousands.I prayed for her safety. Silently. I begged the goddess up there to protect her. My sister. She was the one sister that I never got to have. But now that I finally fou
#Chapter141Raven- A sister’s GuiltEliana Tessa CastellanosGrief fills my eyes. Guilt stabs my heart.Regret shames my mind.I was the one to be blamed. She was gone because of me. If only I had not forced her to come with us. If only I had let her stay back. If only.Then she would still be with us. She would be running about, laughing, being her usual self. Carefree. Innocent. Naïve. A sad smile forms on my lips as I think about her and the tears once again makes its appearance.It had already been a week since then. But the entire kingdom still mourned for her as did the sky. A princess it never got to have. While I sat in my room, locked away from everyone. Hiding from everyone. I was to be blamed for this. All of this is my doing. It was my fault. I deserved to be punished for the rest of eternity. I deserve the worst there is.I’m suffocating here. This place doesn’t feel like home anymore. It reminds me of what I had done. My sin. I need to leave
