#Chapter96Raven’s First DayWe have already spent more than three hours here. But apparently Eliana is not done. The clothes that I got for myself, that she bought might I add, were all picked up by her. But I did manage to sneak a few baggy tops and joggers that I love so much here and there. Since, Aya is not here with us, we bought her a lot of clothes as well. Eliana got me a ton of swimsuit which were quite revealing and anyways I might not even need that many. While I went for plain undergarments, she got me a ton of lingerie after finding out my size. They were mostly lacy and very sexy. She got me a whole bunch of styles and colours. It’s not like I’m trying to seduce anyone with those. But when I think about it, I don’t mind you know. A girl can feel sexy underneath.After pilling up the car with shopping bags, we head home. Home. A smile takes place on my face at the thought. “So, when are we starting?” I casually ask her as I try to figure out how she makes this
#Chapter97Raven’s FriendThree sets of eyes are on me now. Two trying to understand me while the other glaring holes in my head. “I mean… err… I could always smell her scent?” Wait. What? Raven, stop.Aya let out a deep breath and started to nod her head her, telling me that its time. I mean they are our family now. I nod my head at her as the siblings look at the interaction between us. Aya holds her hand out from across the table for me to take it. She squeezes my hand tightly as she puts our hand on the table between us. Her light brown eyes on my forest green ones.“I met Aya when I was eight. I found her in the deepest part of the woods. I don’t know how I stumble upon that part myself. But I’m glad I did.” A small smile forms on her tight lips.“Even we both don’t know what she is. She’s like you but different. She’s my sister. That’s all I know. That’s all that matters.” A nod my head at her as my face mirrors her. She squeezes my hand tightly before she lets it go
#Chapter98Erasing RavenEmily started bombarding me with questions as we drive in Oliver’s car. How do I know these people? Aka Eliana Castellanos and Elias Castellanos. And now an added member in the picture Aya. “They are like a family.” I’m not lying there. They are. “But how come we never knew about you? I have been here for almost a year now. The only family I know that they have is their cousin. Lucas Castellanos. But he is hardly here. Anyways back to the topic. How are you related? And who’s that stunningly gorgeous blonde next to Elias? Are they together?”And here I thought I talked too much. Is this how people feel when I talk. I’m starting to hate agreeing them to come with me. “I’m like a very, very…very distant cousin? And yes. The stunningly gorgeous blonde is Elias’ girlfriend? Is that what they call them?”“So, they are together. OMG. They are like the untouchable beings. We petty humans worship them. They are so good looking. Wait, until you see Lucas.
#Chapter99Just Breath RavenA fresh smell of the ocean hits me as soon as I open the door. The house is filled with laughter, but I hear nothing. I block all my senses and focus on that particular scent. I want to mask myself into it. I want to submerge myself into the puddle of the scent so much like the ocean itself. I was hungry for it. I smile at them as I hide my feelings. Consciously or subconsciously, I would take deep breaths. I don’t know which one it was. Neither did I care. I walked towards them, but my heart wanted to follow that smell that seemed to have disappeared somewhere upstairs. Probably one of those rooms.“If you had just called me, I would have come to pick up you easily.” I hear Elias speak. “I don’t have a phone.” I reply mindlessly. “Oh, that’s an issue we can solve.” He mutters.“Anyways, who were you talking to? We heard you talking for a while. Is this one of your hobbies that we don’t know about. Yet.” Eliana’s sarcasm is full on as usual. B
#Chapter100Raven’s First MemoryA persona of power itself. A godly presence surrounds him. His blue eyes so light that it shines silver, piercing through the dark night. His golden blond hair, few shades lighter than Eliana who was beside him, shined equally. The scent of the ocean surrounds him and now once again invades my senses. Even when there were others around, the only scent I filled my lungs with was his. Perfectly arched brows, a tall nose and slightly pink lips shadowed by the night, with a strong jawline. His body ripped with muscles. However, lean his muscles were, it did nothing but make him look huge. He was as tall as Elias, maybe even more. I don’t know.His white t-shirt hugged tightly to his body while his long strong legs hidden in his dark jeans with the night itself. I saw the power, the confidence, he walked with. Like he owned the very earth he walked on. Yet another Lycan. I know I should be scared. But I’m not. As the distance between us closes
#Chapter101Raven not his-01Lucas Alexander CastellanosI needed a break from all these drama at home. That’s why I decided to escape to California where I owned a house. Currently my cousins stayed there. Tessa hates being surrounded with customariness and the tight security it comes with. So, she decided to leave. Even though everyone back home disagreed. She simply convinced them. The amount of bribery that runs in this household is beyond me. She’s everyone’s princess anyways.I heard that Nikolaos found his mate. About time someone does. This place is filled with monstrous Lycans. We need someone to save our sanity. Even though it’s just Nikolaos that’s saved. I’m happy for him.The drive to the private property was a quick one and in no time the car stops in front of the house. “Sir, I’ll send your belongings to your room.” Says Sean, my driver. Although, he’s not a true Lycan. He’s a faithful and loyal one. He’s been with me for centuries and I intend to keep it th
#Chapter102Raven not his-02Lucas Alexander CastellanosI have been waiting for my mate too. Wherever she’s hiding, I’ll find her. I’ll never let her go once I do. Even though, mother sometimes makes me see some Lycans to settle down with. I know I will never. And as does she. So, she doesn’t force me into anything.I let out a deep sigh and took the towel from the cabinet underneath the table and wrapped it around my waist and took a smaller one and dried my hair.It was already late when I heard the muffled voice of a girl outside the house. I paid no attention as I knew it was the ‘little beast’ as Tessa keeps referring to as. I heard laughter fill the whole house. What is going on?Curious, I closed my laptop and made my way downstairs. I stood by the stairs, just before the last few steps that connected to the ground floor. I watch Tessa engulfing a tiny figure who looked even smaller in the huge clothing she had on. I was quite shocked with the scene before me. I
#Chapter103Raven’s lover boy-01I got up quite early when the dawn was trying to peak through the woods. I made my way inside the house through the back door that I might have left open. I hope nothing was stolen. I doubt it though. I head to my room and take yet another shower to wash off all the woody smell off me. If that’s even possible.I get dressed into a plain white baggy t-shirt and a black short this time which was as long as the t-shirt itself and came about mid-thigh. I grabbed my black shoulder bag and put it across my shoulder and put on yet another white trainer that I got from one of those expensive stores that Eliana took me in. I better run before she sees me. Or else I’m going to turn into her barbie doll that she’s going to play dress up with. I’m pretty sure Aya would definitely be with Eliana this time, helping her to choose dresses for me.I shudder at that thought. Okay. Time to go. Even when I don’t know where I’m going. Anywhere away from him is
