Raven The gates of the dormitory resounded with the forceful bang of the house mistresses as they yelled at us to head to class for our evening prep. My hand reached for my hoodie and school bag as I carefully tucked a bar of the precious chocolates Vlad had brought for me into my pocket. Not wanting to be the last person standing, I hurriedly made my way through the corridors. Outside, students rushed in all directions, their hurried footsteps rushing to class. Taylor rushed to William's side and I smiled, relating to Taylor's feelings. Who would have thought that Taylor, who couldn't stand William before, was now madly in love with him? My heart skipped several beats when I spotted Nova on the other side of the road. Concern washed over me, and I quickened my pace to catch up with her Our eyes met and fury radiated from Nova and her squad. Ignoring the glares, I mustered a smile and greeted her. "Hi, Nova," I managed to say. "I just want to know if everything is alright."

Vlad The atmosphere in the school was charged with electric joy and filled with anticipation. Today marked the highly anticipated soccer tournament. We were given new pristine uniforms, and I adjusted my jersey. Coach Francis stood at the front of the room addressing us. "Boys, this is the moment we've been waiting for," he exclaimed, his voice booming with confidence. "The biggest event of the year. Show them what you're made of. Leave everything on that field. Make your mark." The team roared in response, pumping our fists in unity. We marched out of the changing room, and as the door swung open, it revealed a sea of cheering faces. My schoolmates, the staff, and many of our parents were in attendance. It was so serious that all academic activities were suspended for the day, and even my dad promised to come watch me play. Banners fluttered in the breeze, displaying the rivalry between StoneCrest and North Fangs. North Fangs was known for their ruthlessness on the soccer f

Raven A swarm of tiny butterflies erupted in my stomach when Vlad insisted I come to say hi to his dad. Vlad seemed to find it funny. He broke into an airy laugh and encircled me in his arms. "Come on, darling. I'm not leading you to the slaughterhouse. It's just my dad. I'm sure he'll be delighted to see you." My breath solidified in my throat, making me break into a cold sweat and Vlad's amusement irked me. What the hell was wrong with him? I gave him a blank look, folding my hands. "You find this funny? Why in the name of all that is sacred should I introduce myself to your dad?" Amusement flushed through his face."Because he's my dad." Thinking about how the fires of hell would stoke the hate in my dad's heart when he finds out about my relationship with Vlad made my heart clink with a bang. He'd skin me alive and throw my body to the dogs. "You find this funny?" "Of course not," he gathered me into his arms, placing my head on his chest and kissing my forehead. "I'm laug

Raven Vlad's kisses unlocked a fountain of emotions in me; lust burned my brain so badly that I couldn't think straight, pure love threatened to burst out of me, and anticipation of what was to come made my body tingle. "You don't know how long I've waited for this," he whispered, brushing his lips to mine, nibbling my lower lip, and digging his fingers into my hair. "I touch myself every night thinking about you." A delicious shoulder shot through me when he bit at my lip with a little more force than usual. "About how good your body will feel against mine… how soft and hot you'll feel against my tongue." His lips pulled away from mine, and it took all my willpower not to pull him back. "I could make you scream with pleasure right here. Would you want that?" My response was a gasp of pleasure. He trailed one hand up my side, making my skin tingle, stopping just shy of my boobs. He continued trailing as if he was tracing the outlines of the letters on a piece of paper. I itch

Raven King Vladislav's chauffeur drove us back to school. Vlad tried as much as he could to erase any tension that was present from our interrupted sexual rendezvous and assured me that he'd be patient until I was ready. But I feared he'd stop liking me for not being able to satisfy his sexual needs. I couldn't get the guilt out of my head and decided to make it up to him one way or the other. Vlad was a great guy. He was cute, kind, and extremely polite – and I loved every damn thing about him. Also, nobody made me feel butterflies in my belly like this boy did. The coming week flew past with lots of midterm tests and assignments and I barely had time to breathe. Everyone was looking forward to Thursday, our midterm break, a compulsory four-day holiday to rest after the series of tests bundled on us. Dad picked up Nova and I. Ever since the fight, Nova had been avoiding me and I noticed she'd also distanced herself from Vlad. I was relieved she was out of my business but a

Raven I cautiously made my way back into the house, my heart pounding in my chest. It was almost three am when I arrived and I'd sprinted all the way from the deserted road, running in my beast form and hoping no stronger beast attacked me and snatched the staff of authority. Vlad would hate me forever. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, urging me to move swiftly and silently. I breathed a sigh of relief when I passed the security guards at the gate. The half-awake guards flashed their lights at me, surpirsed but not asking questions much to my relief. "Please don't tell my dad I snuck in this early. He'd be pissed," I said to Roger, the chief security officer at the pack house. He grunted a response and I walked away. I couldn't risk my dad seeing me. He'd ask questions until he unraveled the truth. Clutching the staff tightly against my body, I tiptoed through the mansion, my senses on high alert. It made me uneasy, knowing how powerful the object was, but most important

Raven Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, my worried gaze fixed on the floor as if searching for answers within its pattern. I couldn't control the emotions that pressed down on my chest. Taylor crouched beside me in the bathroom, her storm grey eyes filled with genuine concern. "I shouldn't have agreed to go to that damn nightclub," I sobbed. "This is all my fault." "No, Raven. Don't blame yourself for anything. First of all, you're overthinking this. I bet Vlad's fine " Sniffing loudly, I looked up at her. "Look how your eyes are red and puffy. You'll make people assume the worst, " she groaned, hugging me. "What if something really happened to him? What if he's hurt?" I muttered between sobs. Taylor sighed softly. "You're beating yourself up for nothing. Why don't we head back to the class? I'm sure Vlad will show up soon." "I don't want to go to the damn class, " I snapped, wiping my cheeks. "I want to see Vlad. " "You will," she smothered my hair and wiped my

Nova The editorial team and leaders of the school's literary and press society gathered at the school hall, preparing for our social night, setting the venue and discussing the activities for the event. Tracy, the vice president who vowed to never let me rest and determined to challenge every idea I brought up and frustrated the hell out of me. As usual, I took several breaths, remaining composed and pretending that she was nothing more than a botfly. "I think it would be great to have the matron and some house mistresses attend the social night. The last time we didn't involve them, they sent us back to the dorms after lights out." Tracy crossed her arms and shook her head. "No way, Nova. That's way too boring. Think of something else." I raised an eyebrow, trying my possible best to stay calm and not explode. My mum taught me the best trick to disarm troublemakers. "Tracy, we've already discussed this. We can't keep going back and forth." Tracy scoffed and countered me, "N

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,

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?
