Ravenna

My thoughts clashed together as I tried to decide what place to stay in. I didn't want to stay one minute in this infirmary, so that's out of the question. Which left me with the option of either going with Nevan to the Main house or back to Kalan's apartment.

In the main house, I would be cared for, doted on, and made sure my stay there was to my utmost and optimal satisfaction. Going to Kalan's apartment on the other hand was...

I thought long and hard for a bit.

“I'll go back to Kalan's apartment,” I muttered firmly. At the end of the day, he was the one I was here to marry, not his family.

Nevan stared at me in shock, as if she was so confident that I would choose the Main house, she somewhat looked confused as to why I chose to go back to Kalan’s apartment.

I didn't blame her. I also was tempted a lot, but it wasn't fair that I would spend these few weeks being cared for like a child.

I could handle this on my own. I wanted to prove myself. I wanted to show others th

    KalanOutside Club Zero, I explained everything that happened to Calix. I went into detail as far as I knew and I watched Calix's expression grow from shocked to sour. When I was done, he turned away from me abruptly and kicked the empty garbage can beside us in fury.“Fuck! She's batshit crazy, what the hell?!” He ran his fingers through his hair, turning back to me in realization. “So, that's why...dude! I've been hearing rumors all about Lyssa all day. I heard that she got beat up today, but I didn't believe them. That's true, right? You beat up Lyssa, didn't you?” He asked, examining my facial expression.I clenched my jaw and my fists together. I still couldn't help but feel guilty about Lyssa. If the news had spread this far, it means she was in critical condition, and then she...“Hey, hey, hey,” Calix gripped my shoulder, realizing that I was going through internal turmoil. “It's fine! Don't beat yourself over it. I would do the same too if I were in your shoes,” he consoled

    RavennaA minute passed. Two. An additional three minutes. Five good minutes passed. Kalan still stood where he was, unmoving and neither speaking. His eyes stayed fixated on my sling and I could see the rage filling up his eyes. Was he angry that I got hurt? Or was he angry that I let myself get hurt? “...uh…” I started, jumping a bit at the way his eyes snapped up to mine. “Y-you can have a seat if you want to,” I offered, gesturing to the seat beside me where Nevan sat previously. He kept his gaze on me before turning them away from my face. His eyes went back to my sling, ignoring what I said completely as if I didn't just speak to him. But at the same time, he acknowledged my presence which confused me. His behavior was very confusing. I was sure he heard me quite well. He made it known that he did by looking up at me after I spoke, but when I tried to be nice and offer him a seat, what did he do? He ignored me completely like he didn't understand my language! How much disd

    Kalan“...um…” I looked up at Ravenna. She looked a bit scared, trying to pick her words carefully to avoid any outbursts from me. It was cute, really. It was like she was handling a ticking time bomb and trying to detonate it. “Y-you can have a seat if you want to,” did I want to sit down? Yes. Hell yes. My feet were killing me and the alcohol was starting to take a huge toll on me. But did I want to sit next to her and risk myself doing something I might regret? Absolutely not.I also didn't want to be rude by moving the chair away from its position to avoid sitting next to her, so I just ignored her, focusing on her sling instead. Anytime I looked at her arm in that goddamn sling, it pissed me off to no bounds. I wished I could rewind time and never let this happen to her but I couldn't. I just wanted to take Ravenna with me back home where we can be more comfortable. Where I could pass out and sleep to my heart's content, but with how plastered I was, I really didn't trust mys

    RavennaMy cheeks flame with heat. My breasts were pressing against Kalan’s hard chest as his thick erection pushed against my thigh, erasing all sane thoughts from my mind. His eyes fixed on me, he stuck his tongue out to lick his lip. My eyes follow every single movement his pink tongue made, making me think of indecent thoughts.“You caused it, you know that, don't you?” His deep voice reverberated through my body, sending tingles down my spine. I ‘caused’ what?! I barely did anything!I just innocently touched his face and skin!But I guess, judging from his hardened member nudging against my thigh, it was more than enough to get him incredibly aroused. It wasn't like I wasn't trying to arouse him in any way. I just couldn't help myself. His face was so delicate and mesmerizing that it got me curious, so I had to study it. I didn't mean to cause this, it was just peaceful and nice to look at! I admit that I got aroused, thinking of him in explicit ways, but he couldn't just blam

    KalanShifting the wedding was the best choice. The perfect choice, even. It was the only solution I could think of at the moment without calling the wedding off. It not only favored me, but it also favored Ravenna too.It would give her enough time to heal from the trauma, and we'll both be in control of our thoughts by then. My raging boner almost couldn't make me think straight, but I was able to push past my hormones and make a solid plan. I looked at the bed. She seemed silent. What's going on? She doesn't want to postpone the wedding? Does she want it as quickly as possible? Or was there something else hindering her? Damnit, I should have asked her before coming to this conclusion. Now she would think that...“...okay..” it was tiny and soft. I would've missed it if not for my good sense of hearing.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and sighed in relief. Wow. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders as she said that. I hadn't prepared myself on w

    RavennaThree days had passed since I was discharged from the infirmary. Today was Kalan's thirty-sixth birthday and it would have also been the day of our wedding if Kalan hadn't suggested postponing it till further notice. I was relieved at that as it gave me time to think and decide on what to do with him. He was too unpredictable and I really wanted to get to know him more.He has been treating me really well these few days we spent together. We went back to his apartment, and he took me shopping too, so I could pick specific outfits for myself. He bought a shit load of outfits and other things I didn't even need. To sum it all up, with the addition of my clothes, his walk-in closet was almost brimmed with clothes that belonged to me.He cooked meals for me, he was surprisingly good at cooking even though he revealed to me that he had stopped cooking in a while and ate out because he was very busy with the territory duties. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all scrumptious and I

    KalanI rose, stretching myself out on the couch, grimacing at the sudden ray of bright light that attacked my eyes through the window. This is the only thing I despise about living in a condo. I stood up with a yawn, scratching my belly and making my way to the kitchen, to make some breakfast. Hm...today was my 36th birthday. Technically the day I will stop aging like a normal human. Not that I wouldn't grow older, but it wouldn't just be as regular as humans. Meaning I might still look like this for the next 20 years. Just like my previous birthdays, I didn't feel any different or special except that Ravenna was now around me. Her presence makes me feel like a completely different person.The clock on the wall facing adjacent to me indicated that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Ravenna was still sleeping. So, I decided to make breakfast before she woke up.It has been three days now. Three days of complete unadulterated bliss. It was like we were in our very own, little world

    KalanLyssa?!A frown instantly took over my features as I gripped my phone so tight, I feared it would break. Why the hell was she calling me? I watched it ring twice, consecutively, contemplating whether to pick it up or not. After what Lyssa did, she not only deserves to be exiled but she wasn't supposed to get in contact with me after everything. Did she not have any shame? I guess not. I only decided to pick up with the resolve in mind saying I would get closure and finally in my mind, wanting her to explain why she did what she did.“Why the actual fuck are you calling me, Lyssa?” I spat, not even trying to sugarcoat my venomous words. “Oh, thank heavens you answered!” Her relieved voice filled my ears, irritating me more and more. “Is that all?” I asked firmly, the need to hang up growing stronger than ever.“Kalan...you need to listen to me...what I'm about to say will shock you, but it's purely the truth. I know you don't trust me...and you have every right not to...but co

    RavennaKalan looked stunned as if I had punched him. His mouth opened and closed, so shocked that he wasn't able to form words.The room equally went painfully quiet, as everyone took in my words and were staring at me in disbelief. It broke my heart to see Kalan in such a dazed and confused state, but it had to be done. No matter what I said or did, Kalan wouldn't have listened to me anyway. Left for me, I would've kept this secret to the grave. I just had to do it. I had to let him know the truth no matter how painful it would be.Without saying a word and maintaining his speechless expression, Kalan left in a haste, not able to look at me.I swallowed thickly, blinking back hot tears that threatened to pour from my eyes. It had to be done. I repeated in my head, trying to console myself.Calix walked over to me menacingly, all traces of his earlier affection gone, leaving an empty, angry shell.“How could you do that?” He started off, his voice low, dark, and threatening.

    KalanI held Nevan close to me until her sobs subsided. Stroking her hair, I thought long and hard about what I was going to do.After thinking long and hard about a suitable plan, I finally managed to come up with a good one. I would have avoided it if I could, but this was the only way. I know nobody was going to be on board with my plan and I didn’t expect them to. It is my decision and I don't want anyone to be involved in it. If it comes down to saving Nevan, I would do it in a heartbeat. The only problem now was breaking the news to the people. They of course deserved to know my plans before I dived headfirst into them, yet I couldn't stop cringing, imagining their expressions and the look of pain on their faces once I told them.It definitely wouldn't be easy, especially to Ravenna. I just wish she won't be too angry with me and I hoped she’d move on after I’m gone. I wouldn't want her to wallow in sadness and depression. I would love it if she finds happiness out there w

    LyssaMy heart thumped inside my chest loudly as I stumbled back, feeling pale and managing to grip my bedpost to keep me from falling. Why is the Vampire lord sending a letter to Kalan at this critical time? Is he trying to reveal my involvement to him? What was I going to do then?Before I could even process my thoughts, the door swung open, revealing a guard who had been standing in front of my room all this while. “We have to go, Miss Lyssa. Lady Vieva and Master Caelum have requested the presence of everyone in the receiving room. It's very urgent,”My eyes widened. “What is this all about?”The guard frowned, scratching his head a bit. “Well, it has to do with the letter that Leader Kalan received earlier,”I stepped out of the room, following him intently.Seizing the opportunity, I proceeded to ask him rapid fire questions. “Why? Has Kalan read it yet? Why are we all being summoned to the receiving room? Is it that serious?”“You'll just have to wait and see, Miss. I'm not so

    RavennaI stood there, stunned and unable to let out a breath. Out of all the possibilities out there, I never thought for once that the vampires would be the ones who stole Karazcht. Personally, I’ve never met a vampire, but with all their history and ways, I regard them as one of the most ruthless and bloodthirsty species ever to exist. Them having Karazcht in their grasp was really a nightmare I wasn't sure how to wake up from.They promised not to wage a war, how are we supposed to trust them? Their reputation was really filthy and cruel, how were we supposed to know if they'd keep their word? Also, marrying Nevan off to the vampires? Out of the question. Nevan had grown to be someone I regarded as my sister. I would never let a bunch of egotistical maniacs get her in any way.Still, the matter on hand was Karazcht.We had to find a way to get it, or history would repeat itself again. This time, I wasn't so confident in our victory. My necklace suddenly felt heavy on my ches

    KalanI took the letter from the servant with shock and confusion written on my face. The vampires have a new lord? That was news. After my father slaughtered the former king and his people, I hadn't thought someone would take over the throne this soon, especially not in my era. I grew concerned as the weight of the letter emotionally dragged me down. What was going on? As much as I tried to fight it, deep down I knew something was wrong somewhere, but what?I tried to calm myself down as my thoughts went wild. I grew light-headed, thinking of whether this letter had something to do with the disappearance of Karazcht. It wasn't so far-fetched to think so. The vampires could have taken it, under the orders of their new leader.My stomach twisted in knots, just thinking about it. If it was true, then we're screwed. They would have the upper hand and can easily wipe us out if they wanted to.A small hand covered mine and squeezed, pulling me out of my dangerous thoughts. I looked do

    Ravenna“It was all my fault.” I couldn't help but think as I pressed against Kalan’s hard, naked chest. We just finished making love and no matter how I tried to look at the brighter side of things, it was impossible to. Thinking about how Kalan could possibly lose his life by the slightest inch of stress broke my heart. All week, Kalan has been stuck to me by the hip, never leaving me unless urgent.We'd gone on walks in the garden several times this week, had multiple dates, made love on different occasions. Kalan did his best to make me feel less depressed and happy. But that just increased my guilt further.How could he be thinking of making me happy when it was his life on the line? How could he love me before loving himself? Whenever I looked into his eyes, there was always nothing but pure adoration and affection in his gaze that always brought me to tears.He assured me that he was fine and equally admitted it was his fault and I struggled to think less about those times

    LyssaIt has been a week. It has been a fucking week since Kalan has been discharged and that was the last time I saw him. His words still haunted me no matter how much I stopped thinking about them. “I'll have you all know, I will never regret giving Ravenna my blood,”Those words angered me, making me realize how much Kalan had changed. With the way he was so protective of Ravenna, touching her with utmost possessiveness, and his eyes filled with affection...those were the luxuries I never had while dating him and that pissed me off more than anything. How dare that skank victimize herself and hog all Kalan's attention for herself? She's being too selfish and it made me furious.I could still vividly remember the look of hatred Kalan had on his face the moment he uttered those words. I was a bit taken aback and shaken at the sight. I knew we were currently on bad terms, but for Kalan to display such hate? I knew for a fact that I had lost my Kalan. Knowing that just made me wan

    KalanMy eyelids feel heavy on my face as I constantly try to open them to no avail. I could hear voices all around me, speaking, saying things I couldn't understand. It irked me. Why couldn't I move? Why couldn't I open my eyes? “...Kalan…” I heard a familiar voice call out. My heart swelled in my chest on hearing it and it made me want to break out from this darkness to meet them. With every strength I had, I managed to force my eyes open and my limbs to also work in tandem.I regretted that decision immediately, as my body spasmed painfully. My limbs felt like they were electrocuted and my eyes and head hurt so badly.“Kalan! Don't just sit up like that!” Ravenna scolded, although her voice was filled with worry and concern. My mouth quivered on hearing her voice, and I quickly rested my head back against my pillow. Bracing myself for the second time, I slowly opened my eyes again, adapting to the bright light and colors that affected my vision. Once in focus, I realized t

    RavennaTaking in deep breaths, I forced myself to calm down. Caelum wasn't going to ruin my mood, I would make sure of it. Instead, my thoughts went over to the date Kalan and I would have later this evening. I bit my lip and giggled like a schoolgirl, just at the thought. Everyday with Kalan, I just found myself spiraling deeper and deeper in love with him. It felt like a really long time since we first met. I mean, yes there was too much going on, but it was easier to handle with Kalan by my side.I rummaged through my closet, trying to pick the perfect dress to wear for our date. This date might not seem like such a big deal, but it meant a lot to me. With everything going on, I just needed to know that I was at least cared for a bit by the one my heart cherished, or else I'd just break down. A champagne pink colored sequin gown hung in the middle of my closet as if taunting me to put it on immediately. The top of the gown had tiny crystals that blended with sequins, the colo
