/-Raven-/

He didn't let me out of his sight. Even for a second. It was as if he knew I was planning to escape.

When he wasn't with me, he had guards stationed outside my room and they followed me everywhere I wanted to go.

I couldn't just attack them because you know… they were fire-wielders and all… fuck, dragons! Whatever they called themselves.

I didn't know what they were fully capable of but it was absolutely foolish to underestimate them.

So I sat in my room, thinking of another way. My windows were barred, which means no escaping for me.

Just then, there was a knock and the door opened to reveal a group of servants. The maids marched into my room, each carrying a set of clothes, jewelries and shoes.

But it wasn't the gifts that caught my attention. It was their dressing style. Long white gowns with beady veils falling across their faces. Even the maids who came to serve me food dressed the same, only that their dress was blue.

An idea crossed my mind immediately.

    /-Raven-/I turned around to meet those fierce amber orbs. I should have locked in, maybe I would have had a bigger chance of perfecting my escape. Or not.“Fine! You caught me!” I said dryly. Asaiah strolled to me, “Care for a walk?” “Outside the palace? Yes,” I answered. He walkd ahead without offering a response to my sarcasm. I eventually followed him.“What do we do to make this place more comfortable for you?” He asked and I stared almost blankly at him. “I don't want a situation where your movements will be restricted because you are always planning to escape.” “If you're not going to let me see Declan, I advise you stop wasting your breath because even if you keep me in chains in my room, I will never stop fighting to get back to him,” I shrugged.His steps faltered and I knew my words hit him hard. I wanted to apologize but he was my abductor, so… no thanks. “Fine then!” He said suddenly, catching me off guard. “I will let you see Declan but on one condition.” The littl

    /-Raven-/“I understand you want to see him, Raven, but trust me, now is not a good time. We will see him later, just not now, please,” Tim pleaded. “Come with me to the barracks.” “Why?” I asked him. “Won't your soldiers try to hunt me?” “You once hid in the barracks and no one had any idea you were there. You can do it again. I just need to get you a costume. You stay in my room because no one else has access to it,” he said and I nodded. “Wait here…” he instructed and I nodded. “I'm serious, Raven. Don't move an inch or you're dead meat.” “I won't…” I could barely recognize my own voice as I spoke. I remained in the dark corner, waiting for him to come back. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching and I assumed it was him. I was going to step out of the dark when Hannah and Lisa stopped right in front of my hiding spot. I shifted further into the dark to prevent them from seeing me. Wasn't this the Lisa that they said escaped? What was she doing with Hannah?To be

    /-Eric-/“How do you feel now?” My father's voice sounded in my ears as soon as I opened my eyes. I still felt weak and my body hurt all over. “Where is she….” My voice came out hoarse and my throat hurt from the dryness. How long have I been out?“Who?” “Wife…” I croaked out. “Where she is…”“She left you,” He answered plainly. “Don't feel bad about it; she was no use anyway.” “No… no… she couldn't…” I tried to sit up but a sharp pain shot through my sides. How on earth did I even get to this position? “I told you that you don't need her!” He snapped. “You should focus more on recovering. Don't let fickle things like women bother you. You have so much life ahead of you and many women are dying to have you, son!” I didn't care if women were dying to have me. That stupid assassin of his just ruined my marriage and I wasn't going to let it slide. When I tried to talk, I broke into a hard cough that hurt my whole throat. He immediately poured me a glass of water. “Here you go,” h

    /-Raven-/I don't know how long I remained on the floor but I fell asleep along the line and was awakened by knocks. I scrambled off the floor immediately in a panic. I couldn't just go and open the door for them but if they broke in, that would be more problems for me. Several thoughts ran through my mind as I thought of what to do. I needed to get rid of this stupid armour and use his bedroom window if I could. Was it barred? I couldn't exactly remember. “Who is in there?” A voice demanded harshly and my heart raced.Shit! Shit! Shit!I hurried to Declan's closet and immediately locked it. I found a place between the clothes to hide immediately. His closet smelled just like him and it made me feel sadder than ever. I heard the door burst open and I forced myself to remain in the spot where I was.“Who is in here?” I heard a masculine voice. They sounded like guards. Fuck, I'm screwed. “Someone turned the lights off.” I heard their heavy footsteps and forced myself to remain ca

    /-Raven-/“This doesn't make any sense. How are you here?” I asked but she merely let outa weak muffle.Right! The tapes. On a normal day, I would have been glad to see those tapes around her mouth because she just happens to spew nonsense every time she opens her mouth, but now, I needed to know what the hell was going on. I yanked the tape off her mouth and she let out a wince. I proceeded to loosen the ropes as well. “I know it hurt. I did that on purpose,” I told her, in case she was expecting some form of apology. “Though I'm certain you wouldn't be waiting for me to apologise since she had no problem hurting Tim.”“Raven…” she called weakly. “Help me out of here… please…”“Oh, I would love to hand your ass over to the guards, but I'm also a criminal, so… no. Tell me what you're doing here. Did your bestie turn on you? You both were just discussing how to eliminate Francesca. From what I see, there was a change of plans,” I taunted. “Not… now,” she breathed weakly, struggling

    /-Hannah-/“Lisa?” We immediately froze. Shit! Shit! Shit! Where the fuck did he come from? Didn't he have somewhere to be and how long has he been following us?“Lisa!” Tim's voice rang out again. Lisa and I exchanged glances. There was really nothing we could do in this situation, other than convince him to let us go. “Tim,” Lisa's voice shrank into something I couldn't recognize. “You're here?”His face remained stoic, clearly he was unimpressed with the little show she was just trying to put up. I guess she thought he would forget that she rejected him before Declan, the elders and other guards.“Please don't turn me in,” she immediately fell on her knees, surprising even me. “I was afraid of what the Alpha would do to me, that is why I lied. I didn't mean to hurt you, Tim. I swear I didn't, please don't hand me over to them,” she pleaded.“What are you doing out here? How did you break out of your cell? Did you do that to Othelia and the guards?” He demanded. Before I could

    /-Raven-/“What do we do now?” Lisa asked me. “How would I know? We're both wanted by them,” I retorted. “Hands on your head now!” The guards ordered and I glanced at Lisa. We couldn't let these people take us in. We had to fight– I mean, I had to fight, Lisa was no good. She only knew how to look pretty and create a ruckus where none was needed. “Didn't you hear me? Get on your knees now!” He growled.“What do we do, Raven?” Lisa panicked. “They don't look very friendly.”I rolled my eyes at her. She was visibly trembling in fear now but when it was time to threaten me to stay off Declan, nothing could possibly scare her. “Keep quiet,” I hissed, my eyes darting around for anything we could use to our advantage. The guards were closing in, their heavy boots crunching against the gravel. Lisa clutched my arm, her nails digging into my skin as if holding onto me would magically make us invisible.“We surrender, okay?” I said, raising my hands slowly, palms outward. Lisa shot me a c

    /-Hannah-/“What do we do now?” Lisa whispered. “Hush!” I snapped harshly. “You need to get away from us, Tim,” I told him.“What? Why?” He asked. “Because we are going to get caught with you by our side and you are going to get punished. It will be a lot easier for you to join them and pretend you were searching for intruders as well than running with us. Lisa and I will sneak to the back,” I told him.Although this situation was totally unplanned and we were cooked if we got caught, it was the easiest way to get rid of Tim. If we managed to get away, we could easily leave without glancing back to see if he was on our neck or not. Tim was reluctant at first but he couldn't deny I was right. “Fine,” he sighed. “You can do that; I'll try to keep them distracted for as long as I can.”“Thank you, Tim,” Lisa faked gratitude but I grabbed her arm and dragged her away with me. The bastard didn't deserve the gratitude of any kind. He only ended up slowing us down instead of actually be

    /-LISA-/I watched as Tim was brought before Amelia. My heart was pounding. I didn't know what she was going to do to him. Hell, I didn't even know if he was going to live past this minute.Why did he have to lie to me? I know we had our differences but that wasn't enough reason for him to lie about Raven's death. “I am only going to ask you this once and I expect a direct answer from you, otherwise you will be held responsible for whatever happens to you,” Amelia started but Tim didn't even look a quarter as terrified as I was. He didn't even look afraid of her. “Yes Luna,” he answered in a monotone. Since he came back from wherever they went to and Raven was allegedly killed, he has never been the same again. This time was cold and emotionless. If he was asked to stab a baby, he would do it without hesitation. With Declan under her control, it made things even worse. I didn't know this man anymore.“Where is Raven?” She asked.“Lying at the bottom of the river somewhere,” he re

    /-Raven-/I don't know how it happened but it did. The chains fell off me like it was nothing and I found myself wondering if I could do that the whole time.I mean, if I could, why the hell was I stressing myself? I could have just easily freed myself before those animals got the chance to lay their hands on me. Now was not the time for that, anyways. I needed to get out of here before they realized what was happening, but where would I go?Back to Azaiah? Or just complete my mission by killing Declan? I didn't have the luxury to contemplate on that so I shifted and flew as high as I could. I left the mountains and just flew high into the sky, wondering where I was going to go. Azaiah might have treated me well but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't just hand me back to that crazy man and his son if they came asking. Something struck me by the side and I let out a painful roar but then it hit me again, and again until I stop seeing myself fly and crashed to the ground in a ma

    /-LISA-/"Are you sure it was Raven you saw?" Othelia asked again, her voice filled with skepticism.I folded my arms, forcing myself to remain calm. This entire conversation was ridiculous. Francesca was grasping at straws, desperate to hold on to the idea that Raven was alive. But if she was right… no, that couldn’t happen."I know what I saw," Francesca insisted, her eyes blazing with conviction. "She walked right through that door in a red dress. She looked real, alive, but she didn’t even seem to recognize me."Othelia sighed. "Francesca, do you hear yourself? You’re telling us that Raven, Declan’s mate, the woman who was supposed to be dead, just strolled in like nothing happened? And then, what? She attacked you and disappeared?""I don’t think she attacked me," Francesca admitted. "It was more like… she was surprised to see me. I mistakenly shattered the vase and slipped out her name and she panicked. Then she hit me" She shivered. "Everything went black, but there was somethi

    /-RAVEN-/I could barely move a muscle. When talpha Timultin mentioned the whips at first, I thought he was joking. That there was no way he was actually going to sit back and let me get whipped but I was wrong. This man was as strict as he was merciless and his men couldn't afford to disobey him so I got whipped. Over and over again until I passed out. Now I woke up, I was still tied to the pillar with the pain shooting through me from all angles. How coido Eric do this to me? How do you even watch someone you claim to love go through such pain and you do nothing about it. It was cruel and wicked but he didn't obviously give two shits about that. Speak of the devil, he stroleld towards me like my suffering was a delightful sight. “What are you doing here?” I glared at him with all my might. “I'm guessing you haven't learnt your lesson yet. Else, you wouldn't be speaking to me in such a disrespectful tone,” he said. I looked at him in shock and anger. Was he being serious right

    /-Amelia-/“Why do you keep staring at me?” He asked. His tone was neutral so I figure the spell was still active. “Why did you suddenly go off like that? The feast barely even started,” I asked suspiciously. “I was drugged by one of your numerous guests and I passed out. Anything else you'd like to know?” He asked. I let out a sigh. He was right. There was no way he would have known what happened while he was drugged and he never liked the idea of a feast. “There was this veiled woman I saw in your room when I came to check on you,” I started, monitoring his expression closely. There was nothing I could accuse him of because his expression remained blank. Once again, I reminded myself that he wouldn't know. There was no use being suspicious over him. “So, what now?” He asked. “Did you find her?” “No, we couldn't find her. She just sped away and I suspect that she might have been the one who drugged you,” I said. “Good to know,” he said dryly and walked towards the bathroom. I

    /-Raven-/He was angry but I was angry as well. I might be in love with him but I wasn't stupid. “Did you just hit me?” I asked him. “Evade my fucking question and I will hit you again! Do you know how crazy we went looking for you? We thought something happened! And you just stroll in here acting like you nothing happened?” He yelled. I dropped my hand and stepped closer to him, staring him dead in the eye. “Listen to me carefully, because I am only going to warn you once. I don't care if you are the air that I breathe but the next time you lay your fucking hand on me again, you are going to regret it. If you have a fucking problem, you speak. Use your words, do you understand?” The iciness in my tone was unbelievable to me as well but I needed to set him right. “You fucking bitch! Hoe dare you speak to me like that, huh?” He yelled. “Who did you go out there to see? Don't even tell me you were flying because I know you weren't!” “Good for you,” I said coldly and turned away fr

    /-Raven-/There was something awfully familiar about this woman but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't place it. “Well?” She growled, stepping closer. “Where is my husband?”Husband…For some reason that word made my heart tighten in a way I didn't understand. Why should I care if he was taken? That man was flirting with me so he was hardly a good keep! He wasn't worth thinking twice about.“You're not deaf, are you?” She stepped closer, glaring at me menacingly. Woah! Someone tell this tiger that nobody wants her man. He might be hot but all I want to do is kill him. That's all!“He… he just…” “He just what?” She snapped, pushing past me to look inside the room. I glanced back and to my greatest shock, he was on the bed, passed out. At least pretended to be. I knew for sure that I couldn't waste another minute here so I took to my heels. “What have you done?!” I heard her scream and fastened my pace. I didn't know where I was headed but when I spotted the guards coming, I

    /-Raven-/“I'm sorry. I know you were probably not expecting to see me but something came up last minute and the princess couldn't make it,” I told him. “I see…” he said simply. “Do you mind sharing one glass with me?” I asked, offering him a glass of champagne. “I know I'm beneath your class and you probably don't want to but if you could please…”He took the glass before I could go on with my pretend rambling. “Cheers?” I raised my glass and he clanged his glass against mine and we each took a long sip of the champagne. Gotcha!“This is really good,” I commented but before he could respond, a strange woman joined him. I tried to keep the frown away from my face. Who is she now?She began flirting with him right in front of me and I know I shouldn't care but my grip on my glass was tightening subconsciously. I hated the way seeing her smile at him. I hated watching her hands drape all over him. I hated her kissing him. And I didn't know why. Maybe it was because I hated him tha

    /-Raven-/The blackouts have been frequent, coupled with horrifying nightmares that all ended with a metal stake in my heart. Not to forget the body pains I felt every time I woke up. I felt violated and I couldn't tell if it was real or not. I never fully understood it and when I told Eric about it, he said it could be a memory from the torture I went through in the IronClaw pack. Those agonizing dreams made me hate Declan Thorne and everything about him more and more. Not a day went by without me thinking of how to destroy him.It pushed me to train harder than I ever have and soon, the day was here. The day when I was finally going to put a face to the silver eyes that haunted my dreams. It was a solo mission and no one had any idea what I was doing or planning to do. IronClaw was hosting a big feast and I was going to disguise myself as one of the guests and get in. I wasn't quite sure what they were celebrating but I knew Alphas from far and near were going to be present. I
