~An indifferent life, where witches and werewolves, are allowed to wine and dine together. Where the difference between I and my son wouldn't make us stay apart. That's the life I wish for~ Ravenna.**Ravenna’s POV**“I certainly am not going to that ball, Chester.” I looked away. “You can’t force me to.”Chester sighed, shaking his head at me. “But you know you have to go.” He reasoned but I was having none of it. “You know you have to.”“It’s not compulsory I should.” I tackled. I walked towards the window and looked out. “I mean, it’s not like anyone would notice my absence, you know?”“I will.” He replied, winking. “You know I will miss you if you are not there, Raven.” He said as he walked toward me.We both looked out of the window. “Well then, you can stay with me here.” I proposed. My eyes glinted mischievously as I grinned at him.He shook his head at me. “Don’t say it.” He laughed. “You are looking at me with a sly expression, I’m not helping you wash your undies, Ravenna.”
**Ravenna’s POV**“Wow, can you see that, Ches?” I stared in awe as I pointed at the opposite side.“I know, right.” He affirmed as we walked towards the fountain valley. It was absolutely gorgeous. The water poured out in a cascading form.From my side view, I saw that there was a garden at the rear end of the palace and my eyes glinted with how that would be like. When I always walked past the palace, it didn’t seem as something big from the outside but it really is big. The mansion stood tall above us and the light coming from the inside made it all the more colourful. “Wow, Ches,” I mumbled in delight, holding his arm tight. “Maybe it wasn’t so bad that I came after all.” I grinned.“I told ya.” He whispered.It couldn’t have been long since we arrived. The palace was so breathtaking and I really was glad I came. I’ve never been to the palace before, even for the annual festival, it was always done at the market center.So it was actually a privilege to see all of these.“Let’s
It had been almost twenty minutes since Ravenna’s encounter with the Queen and she felt so uneasy and uncomfortable. She was enjoying the party before the encounter but now, she was worried hoping not to have made things worse than it already was. She wondered what had pushed her into laughing so hard in the presence of Princess Anastasia, and what the hell was she thinking about, to have stood in the Queen’s way as she sat down silently in her seat. When the Queen finished her speech, Raven felt as though Her Majesty’s eyes were on her the whole time. Did she do something wrong apart from getting in her way?Chester looked at her worriedly seeing her strangely silent throughout. This is so unlike the jovial Ravenna he knew. “Do you want us to go home?” He asked as his ocean-clear eyes looked worried.“Uhm..” she said nodding her head almost absentmindedly.She was about to step out when Brianna placed her leg in the way thinking she would trip over her steps, and then she jumped o
~And my entanglement with the Alpha King led to an evidence of love, my son, and joy. He was never a mistake. He is my son. He is the Alpha of Gaulivania~ Ravenna.**RAVENNA’S POV**Someone tapped my shoulder and I turned to glare at the culprit. Wait, wasn’t this the guard that escorted the queen the other day?“The queen requests for your presence.” He said robotically. “In the the throne room.”“Me?” I repeated pointing at myself to be sure. He didn’t reply but turned towards the entrance of the hall. I followed him with guarded steps. I know the Queen called for me but I still couldn’t believe it. Whatever… I was going to find out soon enough. After many twists and turns, he opened the door of the throne room. I stared ahead and seated on the throne was the Queen. I took a deep breath and sauntered into the room. “You are here.” She tapped her slender fingers gently on the throne’s armrest. I stared at her gestures, forgetting to bow.“Manners young lady.” She smiled with a

GaulinaviaThe day dawned bright and clear. It had rained heavily the night before, and as Elise stretched her lithe body on the body, she couldn't help but take a deep breath of the natural sweet smell of rain meeting Earth.However, she felt a full ache, at the back of her head, and struggled to open her eyes. She sat up, and looked around the darkened room. It was just how she liked it.The door swung open, and she turned to see Lazarus strolling into the room."Hey," she smiled, subconsciously tugging at the duvet, to cover her body properly."Hey," he smiled in return, as he drew close to her. He sat on the space beside her, leaned in, and stole a quick kiss."The look on your face..." She trailed off, and her brows furrowed together."My mother is visiting today." He said solemnly.Her frown deepened, as the impact of his words dawned on her. Thinking about it, she hadn't really seen Lazarus's parents ever since she arrived at Gaulinavia. Did they live in a different pack?"Your
GaulinaviaThe loud whisperings of the people died down, once Alpha Lazarus stepped out of the mansion. In an orderly manner, they all bowed, with a loud "Greetings Alpha!"Lazarus acknowledged their hail with a nod of his head. "You may all rise." He ordered.He was about to continue, when hushed whispers filled the arena. Not even when his Beta implored them to keep shut, did they stop.With a lift of his head, Lazarus spotted the reason for their whispers. Stepping out of her car, was the person he hadn't been sure he'd see, for some years and more.She stared right back at him, and he ducked his gaze."Dismiss them," he whispered to his Beta, and turned to leave. He went over to Elise who had been looking at the spectacle without a word, and tried dragging her gently, into the mansion."Who's she?" She whispered, and he sensed her suppressed jealousy. He stifled a chuckle, and turned back to the woman, who was now walking towards them with calm strides."Queen Ravenna," he bowed h
This chapter is rated 18+, and contains matured contents."I want you, Elise." The words were out before he could stop it. He turned his gaze away, and looked through the window, at the sky which was getting darkened every seconds that passed by."Me too," It was moments before he heard the soft whisper, behind him. He turned in doubt, as if afraid it had been his imagination."It seems it wants to rain," Elise whispered in the dark. As if to confirm her words, a flash of lightning crossed the sky."I guess." He replied, with a nod, at loss of what to say.Silence reigned, none of them venturing to speak. He felt the edge of the bed sink in, and turning to see what it was, softness pressed against his chest. He gulped loudly."What are you doing?" He whispered hoarsely."Doing what you're deliberating within yourself, to do." She replied, as she wiggled her hip gently.Gently, not moving her gaze away from his, she straddled him, and grinded softly against him. He moaned softly, and w
The rain poured down as hard as it could, the splatters, creating a little puddle in holes, by the roadside. The cloudy sky didn't show if it'd stop raining anytime soon.Rory sat on a chair, by the roadside, watching as he had been doing, before it even started raining. And he didn't have any intention of leaving anytime soon.His phone was tucked in his coat pocket, and without worries that the rain might damage it, not that it would anyway, he whistled to himself.He couldn't tell how long he had been sitting for, giving no reaction whatsoever. Not even when a concerned middle-aged man had offered him an umbrella. He hadn't accepted it, nor did he thank the man. Not even when a drenched dog, had barked its way close to him.He sat still, his hands placed on his wet lap, studying the wet environs. The air was filled with the sweet smell of rain meeting Earth. Although he wasn't in the mood to acknowledge the beauty of nature, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.Just then, his ph
CHAPTER 105The sun had just set behind the mountains, and the sky had turned into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. The atmosphere was filled with bliss.As the night wore on, the drinking began. The members of the pack passed around large jugs of honey wine, which they drank from large gourds. The wine flowed freely, and soon everyone was feeling a little light-headed and giddy. The merriment continued late into the night, with people laughing and singing, and the drums beating in the background.Finally, as the moon rose high in the sky, there was a sudden hush. Almost as if tye merriment spirit had been seized. Little by little, they all retired to their various homes, till there was no one left at the square.As Alpha Rory stood gazing through the window, at the view outside, his imposing figure wasn't masked. He was one with broad shoulders. It was already hours since Elise left his mansion, and he was already changed into another outfit. He was dressed in a fine silk robe,
CHAPTER 104."Why don't we go to my place?" Alpha Rory said, making Elise blink. "What?" She frowned."Please." And he shrugged, throwing a look towards her son.She was silent for some minutes. And when she spoke, against her wish, she found herself saying "Okay."Seeing the contented smile that spread across his face at her response, made her want to desperately eat her words. However, she decided against it, when her son suddenly dashed into the room.She threw a long angry look at Rory who was still intently watching her, without a word. She followed suit, as she decided to get ready. If she was right, by 'my place,' he probably meant his pack. If that was right, then she knew she had to get ready. She massaged her temple, suddenly feeling dizzy. Everything was happening so fast that she felt she couldn't keep up.....The car pulled over at the front of a beautiful looking mansion, and Elise stepped down from it. Her son followed suit.The grandeur of the mansion at their front
"So, what do you say, young man?" Alpha Rory questioned, as he watched the young man who was nonchalantly sipping on the glass of wine which had been served to him. They were currently at his pack.And for the umpteenth time, Rory wondered if he had acted in his own interest at all.Barely after his decision to while away time at a private island the previous day, which hadn't actually worked. All the time he had spent at the island, had filled his mind with nothing but thoughts of Elise. Was he that soft?"Why did you abduct me?" He heard the young man say yet again, and his gaze darted to him. He remained silent for a while, without a word. In his eyes was the same spark which Elise's held. The calm and calculated way in which he spoke was the same with Elise's. Uncanny resemblance."You're being trailed." Without mincing words, Rory said. He didn't let his gaze leave the latter. What was his name again? Alex was it? That was right.However, when his expression didn't change, Rory's
A CLUB"Having fun?" Rieka asked loudly, staring at Aella.Her voice wasn't loud as expected. The music in the club was too loud and Aella wouldn't be able to hear her if she didn't raise her tone."Yeah," Aella nodded, smiling. Rieka has been by her side ever since her parents passed away. She has helped in so many ways by caring for her and consoling her when needed. She had helped her out of the trauma of the death of her parents.Aella looked at her lovingly."What?" Rieka caught her staring at her. "Come on, don't get all emotional right now. Let's have fun tonight, okay?" Rieka urged."Oh! Yeah…. We should," they both laughed heartily.Rieka smiled deeply as they held each other's hands while dancing. It's been long she saw her best friend smile this way. It wasn't a bad idea bringing her here, anyways. Aella's happiness has always been a priority to her since they shared the same pain. Pain of not having parents to look after them. They were just 22.She sighed. She must make
CHAPTER 101.The sunlight poured into the room immediately Elise pulled back the curtains. She winced, and returned them to their original positions.She had slept in, and was feeling so fatigued. The previous night, she had a movie night with her dear son, and it was taking a toll on her. She glanced at her skin. It wasn't wrinkled one bit.Would she never become human? She sighed and was about to head back to her room, when she heard the doorbell ring. Her eyes narrowed. She had no human friend, and wasn't even expecting anyone. Who was it at the door?With agile steps, she hurried to the door. Her heart thudded against her chest, as her tempo increased. As it always did whenever she sensed something ominous.A young smiling man was at the door, when she opened it. Her brows narrowed, as she tried recalling where she'd seen him. "And you are?" Not trusting herself to speak, especially not to a stranger, she let the words out. He didn't respond. Her frown deepened. She was still a
CHAPTER 100.“You look absolutely lovely.”I nodded with a small smile and she led the way out of the room and into the hallway. We passed by several maids, all dressed in the same black and white uniform she had on, running up and down the halls, dusting surfaces while chattering away.They’d pause briefly, staring me up and down and muttering incoherent words, and then they’d go back to their cleaning. I felt quite uncomfortable under their watchful eyes, but the maid in charge of me, whose name I did not yet know, gave my hand a small squeeze and whispered into my ears.“They’re all saying you look lovely.” I smiled at her, thankful that I had someone that nice looking after me.We soon arrived at the door to the throne room and she stopped just before me.“I’ll be out here waiting.” She said, I muttered a ‘thank you’ to her before disappearing behind the doors.The throne room was enormous, with sunlight pouring in from the large windows and every inch of the room screaming royalt
CHAPTER 99.The words were out before he could stop it. He turned his gaze away, and looked through the window, at the sky which was getting darkened every seconds that passed by."Me too," It was moments before he heard the soft whisper, behind him. He turned in doubt, as if afraid it had been his imagination."It seems it wants to rain," Elise whispered in the dark. As if to confirm her words, a flash of lightning crossed the sky."I guess."

She replied, as she wiggled her hip gently.Gently, not moving her gaze away from his, she straddled him, and grinded softly against him. He moaned softly, and wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing her harder against him.
CHAPTER 98. LARKIN The woods was silent, as I walked deeper into it. I avoided the thorny shrubs, clasping my hands behind my back, and humming a tune to myself. So relaxed, was I, like I had nothing to do that morning. Like I didn't promise my mother to help her clean up the house. The woods was dark, the only source of light, was the Sundays, which cut down through the leaves on their branches, above. I soon got to my favorite spot, and began stripping, when I suddenly heard a sound. My ears perked up, and a frown crept up my face. I whirled around towards the direction where the sound had come from, however, I didn't move an inch. I listened yet again, and heard it. It sounded low, than the former. Cracked, like someone in pain. With my heart thudding against my chest, I inched closer to the thicket. I gulped down nervously, but strangely enough, I wasn't afraid. "Any one there?" I called out, boldly. I soon got to a huge tree, and a glance made me gasp.Crouched at the sid
