Vlad There were no words to quantify how angry I felt. The fury in my stomach fitted into tiny coils and stopped my wind. Raven shifted uncomfortably looking at me through her long lashes while the asshat, William, stood smugly with a thrust-out chest and an arrogant look. Raven's announcement shattered all my hopes. It was like a punch to the gut. I broke into a sweat and had a devilish urge to choke William's throat. Instead, I stared at Raven, waiting for her to tell me this was all a prank. I never noticed them being intimate and I wondered when they started dating. "Are you serious right now?" I snapped with a cold and exact tone. Raven nodded, not trusting herself to speak and William agreed by nodding his head vigorously. "Since when? I thought you were single." She sighed and shifted from foot to foot. William went pink with pleasure and a smile crossed his face as he intertwined his fingers with Raven's. "Well, I'm not anymore," she replied. She avoided looking me

Raven Sitting on a rectangular table in the cafeteria and surrounded by Taylor and William, I forced myself to eat my cereal while I stared outside the window. William and Taylor were throwing banters with William sipping coffee from a white mug and Taylor battling with her scrambled eggs and bacon. My mind wandered through thoughts of Vlad. He was so pissed and jealous about the news of my 'boyfriend.' I should feel relieved, but I couldn't stop thinking about his face and how he looked at me with a look close to disappointment. "Girl, you chew really loudly, like a baboon," William poked at Taylor. "Your body size isn't proportional to the food you're eating." Taylor threw a piece of bacon at William in retaliation. "Get your pork face off my food! It's none of your business the way I eat or the quantity of food I consume. You aren't paying for my feeding expenses, are you? Go fuck yourself in the ass for all I care." She took another bite from her plate and chewed furio

Raven After evening classes, Taylor and I strode along the tree-lined pathway with our arms full of books as we headed to the dormitory. Students were scattered around the grassy area, chatting and laughing. "So, I was wondering why Nova is so popular and you are so chill and laid-back. You don't even act like the king's daughter," Taylor said, and my mind wrestled for a good answer. "I prefer my privacy. It's creepy to know that people watch my every move. " "Makes sense," she said after taking another sip from her soda, bouncing as she walked. "I kind of wish I had a sibling or two, you know?" she said quietly, and I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that my family was far from perfect. Walking into our hall, we heard a loud voice like a commotion, and the sound of a girl crying. "Oh, these stupid girls, they always fight all the time," Taylor said "Do you want us to go check this out?" Taylor rolled her eyes at my sudden interest in what was going on. Normally I hated doing anyt

Vlad I sat on the edge of my bed, sipping some water in an attempt to ease my pounding headache. Thinking I was coming to a quiet room, my friends proved me wrong. Zarek and Xavier were in my room, cramping my space and making it hot and stuffy with their raised voices echoing off the walls. Throne, on the other hand, was busy playing on the Xbox. "Guys, can you stop arguing back and forth?" I pleaded. "No!" Zarek yelled. "He broke the bro code by sleeping with my ex." Xavier slept with Annabelle, Zarek's ex, but he didn't feel remorseful about it. To be fair, she was just a fling to Zarek, and we all knew he didn't take her seriously. He didn't take any females seriously. "She's not your ex, Zarek. You're overreacting," Xavier said dismissively. "You fucked her and made it clear to her that she meant nothing to you. Stop being a sourpuss." I wished they could all just leave my room and give me some quiet. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down,

Raven I was rushing to my next class, my backpack slung over my shoulder. The school bell rang, signaling the end of the break. I hurriedly descended the stairs, the multiple steps leading up and down filled with students rushing to their next class. "Oops, I'm sorry," I said politely as my backpack accidentally brushed against a girl. Tardiness was frowned upon by our chemistry teacher, Mr. Lawson, and I couldn't afford to be late to his class. Lost in the sea of students, I didn't realize when I reached the bottom of the stairs. Unaware of my surroundings, I failed to notice the foot extended in my path, causing me to stumble and fall to the floor. Before I could react, several hands gripped me from behind, tugging at my backpack. Confused and startled, I turned around, trying to face them. "Hey, what's going on?" I shouted, my words falling on deaf ears. Before I knew it, an intense burning sensation engulfed my eyes. The searing heat intensified rapidly, unmistakably the resu

Raven The members of the math club boarded the school bus one after the other. Today was D-Day, and we were heading to a suburb in the metropolitan part of town where the competition would be taking place. The bus rumbled to life, pulling away from the school gates. Vlad sat next to me, slinging his arm over my shoulder. I felt much better and healed almost immediately after the attack. My dad didn't take the case lightly, though I assured him I was fine. He was going to see me at the competition venue, and Principal John assured him that the school was going to get to the bottom of the case and find out who assaulted me. Despite the perfect opportunity to get back at Nova for all she had done to me, I didn't have solid evidence, and I needed to be sure before exposing her. For now, I had to keep my suspicions to myself. The bus rolled along and the world passed in a blur outside the windows. The bus driver drove over speed bumps while the scenery changed outside.

Vlad When Raven stepped out of her dorm, I stared at her with longing and my pulse raced. She was becoming impossibly difficult to resist. My body lurched madly, longing for her nearness. Smiling, I closed the space between us. Resisting the urge to hug her in public, I stuffed my hands inside my pockets instead. "Vlad, what are you doing here?" she said playfully, looking up at me with a twinkle in her eyes, and then glanced around, probably checking for the matron. "Last time I checked, I'm not invading anyone's privacy. I thought I could stop and say hello since I couldn't do it in your dad's presence." She snorted and burst out laughing. Even her laughter was enchanting. It sent goosebumps down my arms and warmed my insides "I bet he'd have been thrilled to see you," she said with light sarcasm. "And severe my head afterward? No, thanks." Her eyes crinkled with a soft smile and my eyes roamed all over her body. She wore a casual Mickey Mouse mini dress and held her hoo

Raven Vlad took two steps back, freezing and his mouth fell open in shock. "Hold up, are you sure about this? "One hundred percent," I nodded with a voice devoid of emotion. An unnatural stillness settled between us like gas until Vlad cursed under his breath, swallowing hard and trying not to reveal his anger. "I'm assuming she did that to get revenge?" "Looks like it." "That's crazy. What the hell was she thinking? If that's the case, we have to find a way to cull out the truth from her. How could she be so heartless to do that to her sister?" I turned away, acting nonchalant and feeling a painful tightness of hurt in my throat. Ivy was influencing Nova negatively and I feared what she'd end up becoming if she continued listening to her. Vlad's face lit like a candlestick. "I think I've got the perfect plan." My body perked up. "And what would that be?" "I'll ask her to be my date for the homecoming and act like I'm into her." I turned sharply to face him, not liking t

JalenThe overpowering smell of old, musty leather filled my dad's beat-up sedan, and the sound of his angry voice rose above the roar of the engine as he scolded me for shifting into my beast form. Tension filled the car, and my anger radiated off me in waves."Is it such a difficult task to control yourself in public? Have you never seen a girl before that you had to shift into your beast form? Now everyone in the pack will yap about how my son was aroused by a stupid werewolf.""I wasn't aroused by her," I lied, trying to defend myself, but he was too far gone in his rage to listen."Griffin, please hear him out. There may be other reasons why he shifted, and besides, Jalen can't be attracted to that spoiled brat.""Oh, shut up," my dad barked at my mom, who had stepped in to try and calm the situation. "That's all you do, make fat and silly excuses for him. He never does anything right. I'll be retiring in a year, and I don't even know the future of our pack."She sat in silence,

Clarissa I fell to the stage, surrounded by flashing cameras and concerned faces, I couldn't believe what had just happened. My heart was racing and I was hyperventilating, trying to process the fact that a Lycan was my mate.All around me, my family rushed to my side, trying to help me up and calm me down. My mother's caked-on makeup was smudged with sweat, a proof to her concern and worry. And all around, people were talking and trying to make sense of what was happening. 'Breathe, Rissa,' I encouraged myself, breathing out of my nostrils.Why was the moon goddess doing this to me? My brain couldn't process this at all. I'd been mateless for twenty-three years only to become a forbidden Lycan's mate?Fucking great!My mum squeezed my hand to comfort me. She was going to keep blaming me for months for disgracing her.

EpilogueSix years later "Raven, my love, ever since I met you, I've fantasized about this moment," Vlad's voice trembled with emotion. "I can't imagine a world without you. We have everything we need – money, a loving family, and a future ahead. Please, baby, will you marry me?"Caught off guard by Vlad's proposal, I burst into tears, turning to mush and ruining my perfectly done makeup."You naughty boy! Why didn't you tell me about this," I blubbered, hitting his shoulder? His perfect dentition broke into a killer smile, as my head bobbed in a yes. "Of course, I'll marry you," my heart sang with delight. "you own me after all.""I owe you my life," he said and I threw myself at his arms. He wrapped them tight around me, the smell of his cologne and our mating bond engulfing me and sending shivers down my spine. Gently, he slipped a Tiffany style round cut engagement ring onto my third finger, and the diamondsglinted brightly against my skin. "So this is why that silly girl, Ta

Raven The Doctor and King Vladislav walked in slowly, with the king standing beside me.I sobbed uncontrollably to the point that I began seeing spots and my vision became blurred, and I could hardly see the people in front of me anymore. The king's eyes were clouded with sadness and regret. I could feel the pressure building in my throat, making my breathing feel constricted. "Raven, please don't cry. You have done enough. Let's just say goodbye to Vlad.""Goodbye?" I spat, and he took a step back. "How will I do that? How do you expect me to say goodbye to my mate? My partner for life!""Raven, Vlad is my son," King Vladislav said with a resigned tone. "I feel so hopeless right now. But we have to face reality. Hybrids are different from humans and werewolves. The earlier we accept the reality that Vlad can never regain consciousness, the better for everyone. False hopes and delusions will get us nowhere."The king's voice cracked. "Please understand, Raven." I stumbled forward,

Raven On the night of day six, I couldn't sleep. My mind was restless like a rolling stone and I kneeled by Vlad's bedside, begging him with everything in me.King Vladislav had begun preparing for Vlad's funeral. According to him, Vlad deserved a befitting burial. How could anyone be comfortable burying their child?My tongue felt swollen. I was helpless and needed a miracle for Vlad. He was the only thing that brought joy and light to my life.The king was broken. All he did was mope and answer questions with monosyllables. Reality had begun to hit him but matter how much I begged him to extend the date, he didn't budge."Raven, there's nothing we can do. This is pure torture," his voice choked. "Let him rest.""Vlad, my love," I gripped his hand. "Did you hear your father? Is this what you want, to be buried? Talk to me. Wake up before they turn off the life support. Come back to me. Don't leave me, please. Just come back!"The answer I got was the beep of the machine and Vlad's s

RavenI couldn't sleep all night, and all I kept thinking about was Vlad. It was so bad that when I finally managed to drift off to sleep, it was filled with nightmares of them burying Vlad and all our classmates placing flowers at his gravesite. I felt even worse when I woke up, rolling over to face the wall and pulling my knees tight against my chest. The darkness of the night wasn’t comforting enough for the pain in my heart. The silence didn’t help either. What if Vlad never makes it? What if he doesn't come back to life? And then the memories from my dreams replayed over and over again in vivid detail. Taylor never left my side and even shared my bed with me. She sat up, staring at me with sympathy in her green eyesMy head rested on her shoulder as she whispered soothing things into my ear while rubbing my arms and whispering ‘It's okay’ every few minutes.At one point, she had to go out and make me some hot chocolate because I had started shivering so badly.

Raven On day three of my stay in the specialist hospital, I had to return to school to write an important test that couldn't be written online. It was the last screening part to get admitted to college."You need to go," King Vladislav pleaded with me. "You're young and have a full life ahead of you. Vlad wouldn't want you to waste your time here and spend a year doing nothing just because you missed your college entrance exam." He paused to let his words sink and sadly, he was right. It was a good thing that I had been accepted into the best college program on campus on a full scholarship. My dad was wealthy enough to train me but that didn't mean I should waste his money on tuition. I sighed and the King begged me to stop making excuses. "you've got to graduate, Raven. I'm here with Vlad and you can always come back whenever you wish.""I don't trust you enough," I muttered. I don't know what you'll end up doing the second I step my foot out the door.

LucianI'd seen too much, witnessed too many painful scenes. I returned home, terrible regrets and guilt assailing me. Vlad's condition was my fault. I let out a choked, desperate laugh. The king was so mad at me that he couldn't stand my presence. He hated me so much. Blood pounded in my temples as I felt humiliated and deflated remembering the disgraceful way he sent me away from the hospital. Not that I blamed him anyway. I deserved to be ridiculed. Everything was all my fault. If I hadn't fallen for Dimitri's stupid antics, I would have exposed him instead and saved my brother.Now Vlad's blood was forever spilled on my hands. It made me want to cry like a baby.How could I have been so stupid? How was I so careless as not to recognize how evil Dimitri really was? When I returned home, that wicked bitch, Elvira, was nowhere to be found. She could run, but she was definitely not going to hide forever.
