#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
#Chapter142Raven that smells like Wildflowers-01Eliana Tessa CastellanosGuilt once again ate my insides. But I stepped into the palace building, wetting the marble floor as I walked through the hallway, following his gruesome cries of pain. It broke my heart even more as I got closer and closer.The click of my heel was the only sound that echoed the hallway along with his roars.Now I was back to the entrance of the hall that fully smelled of him. Why? The opened door was heavily guarded with Lycan soldiers, trying to contain him. They were hunched back, ready to shift, attack. Ready for a fight.But I doubt they were enough. When a Lycan mourns for their mate, they are unstoppable. I don’t think even I can stop his raging heart. The only person that could was no more. But I have to apologize to him. I have to let him punish me. I have been left unpunished for too long.The heavy scent of mint gets stronger as I walk towards them. But I don’t make any contacts wi
#Chapter143Raven that smells like Wildflowers-02Eliana Tessa CastellanosIt bloomed beautifully as the heavenly scent roamed the air around us. My heart was beating rapidly as I tried to think of the meaning behind all this. What I hoped for it to be. I looked back to him whose eyes were already staring at the ground that now heavily bloomed with the wildflowers. Even more than the entire hall. I saw him slowly extend his hands to towards the bundle of flowers. His touch was gentle even though his hands were that of a Lycan now. And as soon as his hands touched its petals, it shied away. It melted away within the vines as the vines too started to recoil itself. I sat frozen in my place as I watched the ground in front of us bared itself to us like the day we found her in the park. The only difference was that in the park, the vines uncoiled to reveal her but now there was nothing underneath it but the marble tiles. And with that whatever hope I had, it died along with it
#Chapter144Raven born out of earthI opened my eyes to the vacant darkness that surrounds me. I can feel the cold earth around me. But to me, it’s the source of my warmth. My body is used to this cold earth as it hugs me like a mother. It wraps me in a blanket of its own warmth and shields me from the light. The world outside. Even though I know my eyes are open, all I see is nothingness. Tired of playing with the darkness, I closed my eyes again. But this time I completely got lost into it as darkness took over my brain and my heart. Then all of a sudden, I felt an intense pain. I felt something wet drip down my forehead and to my temples. Whatever it was it burned me like it wanted to awaken me from this slumber. Like it wanted me to feel again. And now my heart was in pain too. It hurts so much. Then I smelt it just a moment later. This smell. I know this smell. I tried to move, open my eyes but nothing obliged to my command anymore. I wanted him. I wanted to be wit
