KalanI zoomed past curious onlookers and bystanders, cursing at them and honking to let me through and get the fuck out of my way. I glanced at Ravenna who lay in the backseat unmoving. The cuts on my skin were still open and dripping down but they were slowly healing. Ravenna on the other hand was still showing no signs of consciousness, shifting, or signs of healing and it scared me.It scared me to know that she was in severe condition and there was nothing I could do than to hasten to the infirmary and make sure I made it on time.She has lost a lot of blood and energy, plus her injuries have worsened ten times as they had before. It was all my fault. If only I had not been so stupid as to have fallen for Lyssas' latest trick another time, I would've prevented this from happening. I was a fool. A complete one and there were no excuses to justify my foolishness and naivety.If I don't get her to the infirmary on time, she could possibly die and it will all be my fault. All the gui
Kalan“No,” I refused firmly.“But, Kalan it doesn't matter, alright? I will do it, I don't mind,” Uncle Caelum persisted, his gaze looking at me worriedly.“I will donate to her. it. It's just 10 years. I wouldn't even realize it if it's removed from my lifespan. It doesn't affect me as much as you think. Her safety and health is the most important thing here and we're wasting time debating on who to give her blood. I am willing and ready to give her now so let me just do it,” I concluded my speech finally, looking at them and turning to give Caius a hard look, but he just turned away, folding his arms and avoiding my gaze. He should grow up.“Are you sure?” My mother asked, skimming at me worriedly. I know how she feels. Knowing that some years would be taken out of your life is a really hard blow to the chest, really. That's why she volunteered. Probably because she was old and she thinks that her absence wouldn't cause as much pain or impact on the territory as mine would.. But s
RavennaI woke up grimacing at the sudden white light that attacked my vision. I blinked back and put my eyes into focus, realizing that I was at the infirmary again. Several nurses gathered around me and I wondered what was going on. Why was I back at the infirmary? Was there something I missed? I couldn't remember what happened before I came here. I only remember going into the forest and suddenly, blackout. What happened? Did I get injured again?I moved my head to the side and I instantly realized what was happening before me. My eyes widened as I saw Kalan looking so pale and barely breathing. I could barely see him being able to stand as a tube connected us together, drawing blood out of his body to me. I gasped in shock, immediately going straight for the tubes that were attached to my wrist and trying to yank them out.My brain jolted and memory came crashing into my head. I remembered everything. The rogues. The scratches. The bites. My rage, my pain, my heartbreak... ever
KalanI was awake. I was back. The moment I opened my eyes, the nurses all slumped against the wall in relief. Everyone looked so happy to see me alive, I almost couldn't believe they were that worried about me. It felt so good to be alive.They gushed, explaining to me what happened after the blood transfusion. Apparently, I had slumped, going into cardiac arrest. It must have been terrifying for them, as I could see the worry lines prominent on their foreheads. I gave them an apologetic smile and they continued narrating how they had to take me in for an emergency procedure and how my mother fainted. I was quite shocked hearing this. Mother? How did that happen? “How’s my mother? How's her health?”“She’s okay. She—”“She’s resting.” The other nurse closer to me cut her colleague off before she could finish her words and I frowned. “Is she really okay?” My mother was as strong as steel. Seeing me in that condition, broke her?“She is. She was just too shocked. It's not good
RavennaIt was nighttime and the windows were wide open.A cool night breeze flared in the room, caressing my skin, and I shivered a little from it. I shook my head lightly. “Ravenna, you can do this. It's not hard to do, okay? You've got this. You've trained for this, your whole life. It isn't difficult to do, just think of this as another training you'll have to take,” I mumbled to myself, pacing around my designated room. Even with those words, I still didn't feel any less nervous. I got the medications, sterile syringes, scissors, and everything I would need to nurse Kalan. I placed them on a tray and added cotton buds that I would need to cleanse the blood, and also a glass of water. I knew how to administer injections, alright, but being close to Kalan…makes me anxious. I wasn’t confident that my hands wouldn’t be shaking. Being so close to him does things to me. Strange things that I didn't even understand or realize when it happened. Things I never knew could happen to me,
Kalan“I want you,” I whispered into her ear. Her body trembled against mine and I couldn't stop the grin that spread on my face. She looked so delicious right now. My hands went down her skin and stopped in between her thighs, stroking her skin and gauging her reaction. She didn't disappoint. She was a mess. She gasped, her eyes barely open, I didn't go further, just squeezing her thighs. Suddenly, her arousal wafted through the air, attacking my nose as I took in that wonderful scent. I groaned, she would be the death of me. “A few days ago,” I started slowly, my tongue on her nape, trailing to her ears, while my hands traced down her spine. “...my hands were everywhere…” I stroked her arm, savoring her whimpers. “...all over your body…” She let out another gasp, stuttering as she said, “But...but...you were just...helping me, nothing more,” cute. She bit her lip and it drove me completely crazy. My hands continued to explore her body. “...it wasn't anything sexual,"“Hmm, it
LyssaNo! There was no way this was happening!How can that bitch wake up after everything I have done?! She was like a pesky insect that I was just unable to get rid of, no matter what I tried to do! How the hell could this have happened?! She had a very slim chance to live! Why wasn't she dead yet?!The word spread around that Kalan had rushed her over to the infirmary, barking and shouting out orders for her to get treated immediately and even going as far as donating his blood to help her get better! It hurt me so much to hear that! If only Kalan hadn't meddled, she'd be six feet under right now!Kalan nearly died because of her, yet he still wants her. Yet, he still wants to be around her. It had to be sorcery. There was no valid explanation as to why Kalan's behavior had changed so quickly and how she snatched my man away from me with a flick of the wrist. She must have bewitched him with a spell from her werewolf pack of something. I hate that she has her filthy claws sunk d
RavennaI took in a deep, nervous breath. If I agree to stay, our relationship will go on to the next level, and that feels so scary and exciting to me at the same time. Was I really ready for this? I really had strong feelings for Kalan, but was I ready to act on them so quickly?I relied on my gut to take me through this and to make me decide what to do next. I looked back and saw Kalan looking all vulnerable and baring himself out to me. It was then I realized that I don’t have to be scared anymore. I just have to acknowledge the feelings I had and act on them. I turned around, dropped the tray back onto the nightstand, and then went to sit beside Kalan.He was trembling. I didn't know if it was from anticipation or fear, but it excited me all the more. His shaking hands caressed my face as he captured my lips in a very soft passionate kiss. It grew deeper gradually as he pinned me back down onto the bed, slowly grinding against me.He slowly pulled off the straps of my nightgown,
