Ravenna was finally allowed to leave the hospital. The past few days had been a blur of medical tests, physical therapy, and emotional support from her new family. Mara and Thorn were hurrying around the room, helping her with packing up her small belongings.
"Do you have everything, darling?" Her mother, Mara asked, her voice calm but filled with concern.
"I think so," Ravenna replied, folding a sweater and placing it in a suitcase. She still felt disconnected from her new life, but her parents' constant support was gradually helping her adjust.
Just as they were zipping up the last suitcase, the door flew open with a crash. A young woman with short red braids and warm brown eyes rushed in, her face lighting up when she saw Ravenna.
"Ravenna!" she exclaimed, throwing he

The sun streamed through the kitchen windows, casting a warm glow across the wooden table as Ravenna's father set down his newspaper with a satisfied sigh. "Good morning, dear," he said, looking up at her with a smile. "Sleep well?"Ravenna nodded, still adjusting to the foreign feeling of a full stomach and a warm home. "Yes, thank you," she replied, her voice soft and hesitant.

"Are you excited for the celebration tomorrow, dear?" he asked, his deep voice resonating with affection."What... what kind of celebration?"

The next few hours dragged on as Matthew continued to talk about himself, his accomplishments and interests, his family, their friends...but Ravenna boredly went through the motions. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Her parents, Daniella and Ethan, exchanged concerned glances every now and then, and Ravenna could feel their worried gazes on her. She tried to smile, to laugh at his jokes, to reassure him that she was listening, but it all felt forced and hollow.She couldn't understand how he could be her mate; there was no spark, no attraction, nothing. It was as if she were looking at a stranger, someone who meant nothing to her. She forced herself to concentrate on his words, but her thoughts kept drifting, and she found herself lost in a haze of confusion and disbelief."...and that's when we found out we were mates," Matthew finished, a note of triumph in his voice."Uh-huh," Ravenna murmured, glancing at the clock. She yawned, pretending to look interested.

The door opened and there stood Mara, Ravenna's mother, her expression gentle. "Ravenna, Matthew is leaving now," she said softly.Ravenna nodded. "Alright," she replied, her tone indifferent as she turned her attention back to Daniella.Her mother, smiled before closing the door again. Daniella, who had been watching the exchange with interest, turned back to Ravenna. "You feel uncomfortable around Matthew, right?"Ravenna hesitated before nodding. "A little," she admitted. "It's just...it's hard to explain."Daniella sighed, her expression sympathetic. "It's understandable."Then, her face lit up with excitement. "Let's forget about Matthew for now and find you some amazing shoes to match this dress!"Ravenna managed a small smile. She didn’t know why she wasn’t comfortable with Matthew. Shaking her head, she tried to get rid of the unsettling thoughts as she turned her attention back to Daniella. "Alright, let's do it."The next day, Ravenna was asleep in her room when she heard he

"Ravenna!" Daniella exclaimed, rushing back to her side. "I'm so sorry, I was only gone for a moment. Are you alright? Did you see what happened? Do you feel safe?" She spoke quickly, her hands trembling as she tried to calm her own racing heart.Ravenna shook her head, still trying to process what had just happened. "I-I think so," she managed to stammer. "I saw...that man. He looked...he looked hurt." She pointed in the direction the man had been led away, her voice shaking. "He shouldn't be out there by himself. He needs help."Daniella took Ravenna's hand in hers, squeezing it reassuringly. "I'm sure the security guards will take care of him. They'll make sure he gets the help he needs. Come on, let's go to the spa. I think a relaxing massage is just what we both need right now." She led Ravenna down the mall, their footsteps echoing on the shiny floors. People went about their business, seemingly oblivious to the events that had happened moments ago.They made their way through t

The scent of expensive cigars and exotic flowers filled the air. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. Tonight she would meet him...Then Ravenna felt someone beside her. It was her mother. Her mother smiled at her before squeezing her hand reassuringly. "You look beautiful," she said softly."Thank you," Ravenna replied, trying to maintain her composure."We're here with you, darling. And everyone is excited to see you." Ravenna's father took her other hand and squeezed it gently. She forced a smile, thanking them silently for their support. Her father offered his arm and she linked hers through it, feeling a sense of safety in their presence.As they walked through the grand entrance, Ravenna could feel a million eyes on her. The sound of hushed whispers filled the air. She knew they were talking about her."I t

Ravenna's eyes widened as she realized it was the same man from the mall, the one who had been covered in blood and caused a scene. Now that he wasn't drenched in blood and looked relatively normal, she noticed he was quite handsome. He was 6'3" with long black hair, brown eyes, and a muscular, tattooed body. She couldn't help but feel a bit flustered as she tried to regain her composure. His hair was slicked down, and he wore what looked like an expensive suit. Ravenna also noticed watch, it looked like it was worth a small fortune.Snapping back to reality, Ravenna saw the man glaring at her, clearly annoyed by the wine she had accidentally spilled on him. She felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment. "I-I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going. Here, let me get a cloth to clean you off," she stammered, reaching for a nearby napkin. Ravenna panicked as she grabbed some tissues and started to wipe the man's suit."Don't bother," the man said, his voice low and dangerous. He t

Ravenna excused herself from Matthew and began walking away, studying Soren's business card. Lost in thought, she collided with someone."Oh, for heaven's sake," Ravenna muttered, frustrated with her clumsiness. She looked up and froze, coming face to face with Rylan.Rage bubbled up inside her, but she quickly masked it with an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention."Rylan smiled back. "It's alright, no harm done.""Are you sure? I feel terrible," Ravenna persisted, playing up her contrition."Really, it's fine," Rylan insisted, chuckling. "Please, don't worry about it."Ravenna relaxed her shoulders, feigning relief. "If you're certain. Thank you for being so understanding.""Of course," Rylan replied. "So, how are you doing? Getting back into the swing of things?""I'm doing well, thank you," Ravenna said. "Still adjusting, but I'm getting there."Rylan nodded towards the dance floor, where Matthew was showing off some questionable moves. "Is that your...?""Fr

Ravenna collapsed onto her bed, exhausted from the night's events. She reached into her clutch and pulled out the two business cards she'd acquired. "Soren Blackthorn, Alpha of the Blackclaw pack," she read aloud, then turned to the other. "Rylan Moonstone, Alpha of the Shadowmoon pack."She sighed heavily, tossing the cards onto her bedside table before forcing herself up to get ready for bed. As she changed into her pajamas, her mind raced with thoughts of revenge and the complicated web she was weaving.The next morning, Ravenna woke to sunlight streaming through her curtains. She stretched, her eyes landing on Rylan's business card. She scoffed, shaking her head as she made her way to the bathroom.As she applied her makeup, Ravenna considered her next move. "I can't call Rylan," she mused aloud. "That would seem too eager. I need to find a way to bump into him 'coincidentally'." She paused, brush in hand. "And Soren... well, he's not a priority right now."Satisfied with her appe
