Raven

My fingers are nestled into Blake's long, chocolate fur as we jump over rocks and fallen logs. Hayden is running to our right, smirking as if he is holding a personal race against the former alpha werewolf.

For a while, it's Blake against Hayden, both racing like idiots while I'm bending forward and squinting to see. Tears are crawling from my eyes because of the wind hitting me in the face. Things are moving so fast that I'm forced to clench my legs not to fall off the wolf.

Eventually, and praise the Lord for that, Hayden stalks closer to us. He ends the dumb competition by talking inside our heads. It leads to Blake slowing down.

'Raven... How do you plan on stopping Lucy from destroying another city, if I may ask?'

I grasp fur between my fingers, glancing down at the running wolf while feeling that tug at my heart.

'I don't know,' I answer earnestly. 'Lucy wouldn't destroy a city unless the Fae somehow forced him. He is a gentle so

    RavenWhen Lucy breathes fire at me, it breaks my heart. I'm caught in place, rendered useless to move. It's like my body has stuck its roots into the ground, deciding this is where I will stay.'RAVEN!'An enormous wolf, chocolate and Blake, jumps into the fire and grabs me by biting my arm.'MOVE!' Blake orders me. 'WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HERE!'With the help of his enormous head, we lunge to the side, away from the fire. But the whimper of agony coming from Blake isn't good. The fur on the side of his body is burnt, and marks from the fire color his skin."Blake!" I cry out, already drowning in guilt for not being strong enough to move away in time. My heart is in shambles, but I shouldn't have come here—I should have listened and stayed away from Lucy so Blake wouldn't have gotten hurt!The wolf whips its head, meeting my eyes with a small cry. He limps forward, and every step seems to hurt him. A nuzzle gets pressed to my

    RavenI'm staring into the campfire with embers crackling and floating up into the sky.My heart is at a crossroads, arrows pointing left and right. We aren't a single step closer to solving the murder case, and now another problem has been added to the equation—my mate is on the other side of the war.How can I save Lucy?Sighing, I let my eyes roam around our campsite.Hayden is tending to Blake in the shadows, cleaning his wounds. He is in terrible condition. Guilt pierced me like a sword to the gutter when I saw Blake's injuries. Burn marks and orange blisters covered his skin. And now I'm here, cursing myself for seeking Lucy.I put Blake and Hayden's lives in danger because I followed my heart.Maybe I should listen to my brain instead?"I think love conquers everything," Ariel suddenly says.

    Raven I swoop down from the sky like a superhero—only my landing isn't so gracious. I land in a tree upside down with incredible speed, arms akimbo with black hair covering my face. Fuck, my legs won't budge. I appear stuck in a tree branch, but I can't afford to panic. Ariel released me right above the Fae camp. Shaking away my hair from my face and blowing some to the side, I squint my eyes. A fire is crackling in the distance—blue because Fae needs to show off. Ugh, reflecting about Fae leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Ever so slowly, I turn my head and stare straight at Lucy. A little shiver runs over my skin, meeting his crimson eyes that have nothing to do with the chilly weather. He is tied to a tree and staring right back at me with eyelids that close from the bottom up. Heavy chains are strangling his neck, and I sense magic oozing into the air. The bastard Faes probably punished him for not finishing me off, judging by the scars co

    Raven Lucy miraculously managed to land right by a lake. The atmosphere is thick with unsaid words, though. I don't know how to act or where to look when he sits there, down by the water. He is shirtless and cleaning a t-shirt in his rough hands. The image is downright teasing. He is down on his knees, thoroughly focused. Every movement is pure sensual sex, and I swear I get giddy glancing his way. I had forgotten entirely about Lucy's washboard abs and broad, toned shoulders. He has that perfect ratio of wide up top and leaner towards his ridiculously mouthwatering v-lines. I'm not sure, but it looks like he has been working out, if I'm not mistaken. His body appears sculpted, carved from diamond, and born for the fight. "You're staring." While I'm still lost in him, Lucy glimpses over his shoulder and then chuckles at me. I pick my jaw up from the ground. "I was not-..." He lifts a confident, knowing eyebrow my way, and my shoulders

    Raven Lucy is leaning his back against a tree trunk, gazing out over the lake with the moon above us. An owl is hooting, and I knead my hands against my legs to pretend I'm busy. In the few minutes I've spent with Lucy, we have only been silent, yet his crimson eyes are enough to make me nervous. He has looked me right in the eye a few times, smiling every time, and I grow hot and bothered in return, forced to turn away by my beating heart. I'm struggling not to jump him, knowing that it probably isn't the best idea when he doesn't remember me, but he is so gorgeous under the moonlight and right there. His scent lingers in the air, calling to my soul—even my fingers itch with the need to touch him. I swear every freaking cell in my body wants to be near him. Without making a sound, I glance his way, and seeing him meet my eyes with that damn smile got my blood boiling in my veins. Saying I'm in agony is putting it mildly. I have to force my legs still

    LucyWhen we enter a cave to seek shelter from the rain, the first thing I pick up on is the scent of a wet dog. A shudder runs up my spine, and I act on pure instinct and step in front of Raven to protect her.I spread my wings as a shield. "There are other creatures in this cave," I tell Raven coldly, sniffing the air before glaring into the dark. "It reeks of dog, dragon, and bats."Raven giggles, and then there are footsteps echoing against the walls and someone calling her name. Her friends are here—terrific. I stand back in bitterness.I haven't gotten to kiss or bond with my mate yet—imagine my anguish when this guy I burned pops out of nowhere. His hair is dark, and his arms are massive, engulfing Raven as they hug each other. I have to bite the inside of my mouth not to snatch her away from him."Blake!" Raven is laughing as the guy is spinning her around. She sounds happy, which calms me. "You're alright!"Jealousy floo

    RavenThe cave is cold, and the wind travels through it, making me shudder as I follow Lucy deeper inside. A fire sitting in his palm casts our shadows on the wall, but I can only focus on Lucy. My eyes are glued to his broad back, and if my heart had a face, it would be smiling. I'm thrilled to be reunited and alone with my mate."You're not too cold, are you?" Lucy peers over his shoulder, offering me a kind smile that makes me feel special. I haven't seen him use it around anyone else."I'm fine." The universe must work against me because I sneeze right after my claim. Lucy's lips climb the left side of his face, forming an amused smirk."Come over here," He says, holding out his hands. "And take my hands."Confused, I place my palms over his larger ones. Electricity courses between us, and I lift my chin, ready to swoon over the affection radiant in his eyes. My heart is pounding so fast."Is there a reason behind this?" I ask, smiling a

    Finale Lucy The day Raven died, I lost a part of myself. My heart shattered to pieces seeing her turn into ashes, and when the wind took her away from me, I learned the true meaning of grief. There wasn't a piece left of Raven to bury, and neither was there a piece of her to save, no clothes or necklace. Raven's grandmother kept her things, which in my opinion, she didn't deserve, considering the way she treated her granddaughter at the end, but who listens to a demon? The school agreed her grandmother could take everything, while I was left with only the memory of my fantastic mate. Life is unfair. "Earth to Lucy—aren't you going to join us for a toast?" I turn around, smiling faintly at Blake. The guy is like a fine wine, only turning more handsome as he grows older. Eighteen years have passed since Raven sacrificed herself, but Blake doesn't look old. My lips form a pout. I wish I had gotten to see Raven grow older.

    Raven Lilith is circling me like a vulture. "Do you consider yourself strong enough to take on a demon?" I narrow my eyes, focusing on her glowing hands. Her dark magic is oozing in the air and making my skin crawl. Lucy and I trained before we arrived, but I doubt I can defeat Lilith. Still, I got to try since there isn't a knight in shining armor to save me. I gather energy, making fire take over my hands as I follow the amused demon with wary eyes. "I've never tried fighting one before." "Well," Lilith smiles. "You better win this battle, Raven, or I will cast darkness upon this entire world. Demons will reign, and humans will be our slaves. But don't worry—I send you a postcard after I've killed you." I glare at the demon. "You talk too much." "Oh, excuse me—I didn't realize you were waiting for the fucking party to begin!" Lilith laughs and lunges at me. Her nails are long, and I try to step out of the way not to b

    RavenLightning is crackling along my skin, zapping and engulfing my entire arm before I aim the gathered energy at the shadows approaching us. One of them looks like a giant fly—Beelzebub, and the other, animalistic one with three heads, must be Asmodeus.My eyes narrow. I've never seen Asmodeus in his proper form, but my bond with Lucy is so strong I somehow know it's him without even asking to confirm my suspicions.Asmodeus is horrendous, a creature with the middle face of an older man and a cow and sheep as the two others. His body is a lion, with multiple limbs of different creatures that don't seem to belong. I repress a shudder, disgusted by him.'It seems more people are coming over to play,' Lucy comments before his scales light up in red. 'Perhaps it's time to take my proper form for this fight. I need my A-game.'"You mean you're not at your strongest in the dragon one?" I ask, gasping in disbelief. "This is the battle of our life

    Raven Lucy cries the moment the shark-like creature opens its jaw to dig its sharp teeth into his scales. Flying becomes challenging for the dragon, and we are all knocked off his back. "No-no-no!" I scream. "I don't know how to fly!" Hayden snorts a laugh. "Then you better learn!" "Stop joking and help me instead!" I yell at the smug bastard, who doesn't look bothered by the situation. His blonde hair is fanning around his head, and his expression is calm. "Well, if you insist." In the corner of my eye, I see Blake shape-shift into a wolf to land on his paws while Hayden grabs me. I'm pulled to his chest, but I'm done content yet. I glare at the vampire accusingly, causing Hayden to roll his eyes. "What a warm welcome..." Hayden mutters as we land on tall grass. I slip down his chest and turn around to witness Lucy screech at the monster whale. They are dwarfing the trees. "Where did that monster even come from?" I ask

    Raven The clouds are grey and ominous underneath us. Lucy is in his dragon form, flying above them while our entire group is on his back, freezing in the harsh weather. Hayden is shuddering behind me, and I peek over my shoulder, smiling faintly at Blake's concerned expression. He is sitting behind the vampire, taller and broader, without a sign of suffering in the cold. I've heard werewolves are always warm, but it might be a rumor. Without meeting my eyes, Blake grumbles. "I didn't think vampires could freeze, and here you are, shivering like crazy." Blake glances down at Hayden, who pauses at his words. Hayden's arms are crossed over his chest, hands resting on his shoulders as he absorbs the other man. Shock is visible over his features like he never expected the grumpy werewolf to care about him. "I was born as a vampire, not one of those who turned—it is a tremendous difference. My heart is beating, there is blood pumping in my veins, an

    RavenI've spent two days trying to conjure ice. Lucy is an outstanding teacher, but we are running out of time. Perhaps I was never destined to control the element of water? Whatever. The four of us are heading for the Fae castle, the place where Daisy lives with her dying human mother, and we plan to stop her from summoning Lilith while the war is waging."I'm so sore," Hayden complains, leaning his head against Blake's shoulder.I glance up at the two, expecting Blake to move his arm, but to my surprise, he stays in place. A smile tugs at my lips. Hayden might not be Blake's mate chosen by the moon goddess, yet the two of them have gotten rather cozy after their training sessions."I can't believe you're the one complaining after throwing me around like I'm a rag doll—vampires are crazy strong.""I'm not any vampire," Hayden peers up at Blake with a confident smile playing over his lips. "I happen to be their charming prince."My in

    Lucy I'm calmly drinking my tea while sitting on a cliff outside the cave, listening to the kids plan our next move. Raven told the others about Daisy. I trust her friends to help her end the mad killing, but it worries me that the demons might side with the Fae. Beelzebub always had a thing for Lilith, and I'm one hundred percent sure the old, mischievous demon will join forces with her. Beelzebub has missed his crush since her disappearance. Lilith's soul has been floating aimlessly around in the underworld, not materializing since an angel exterminated her. Gabriel, my angel brother, was the one who punished and defeated Lilith after finding out she had escaped from hell. And while Gabriel would most definitely help us defeat the crazy demon again, I don't think he is around anymore. My eyes fall upon the green canopies, still wet from the rain, and then I glance to my right when Jenna takes a seat next to mine. Her mate is standing in the
