"Look at how ugly she is. I don't know what the prince sees in her?"
"Too bad, we cannot see what she hides under those hideous clothes"
Taunts and curses followed me everywhere in the 'Windsor high ' which is meant for the Royals. They look at me like I am a bad omen. I am completely out of place among the rich and spoiled Royals. I cover my face with my tangled and frizzy reddish brown hair. My clothes are loose and ill-fitted. They have holes here and there. But the kids around me are wearing branded clothes and look beautiful and stylish, unlike me, who is a slave. I don't want to be here. But my opinion doesn't matter. I have to do everything he wants me to do. If I don't,
'You have to bear the consequences '
His words echoed in my mind. His deep and strong voice gives me chills. His handsome face is a permanent part of my nightmares. Whenever his naked body touches mine, it makes me hot and wet. I don't want to, but my body has a mind of its own when he is concerned. I have to warm his bed every night. But nobody would believe me if I tell them that I am still a virgin.
One year ago, my life turned from bad to worst in a single night. It's my own mistake, I cannot blame anyone but my fate.
I am brought back to my present when I collide with someone and tumble backward. I would have fallen down on my butt but righted myself at the last moment.
"Watch where you are going, Whore" someone cursed me.
I recognized that voice. It belongs to Tasha. She is the princess of the Agnes clan. There are four dragon clans, Raven, Agnes, Nester, and Ernest. Ravens are the dark dragons, while Agnes is a purple dragon clan. Ravens are the most powerful among the other dragon clans.
I didn't dare to raise my head and look her in the eyes. She doesn't like it. My body cannot take another beating like she gave me yesterday, or the day before, or the one before that. She hates me more than the others. She finds mundane reasons to hurt me every day, like now.
Quietly I picked up my books to make my escape, but Tasha pushed me with so much force that I flew and fell a few feet away. Kids around me began to cheer with excitement and laugh at my misery. They are happy to see Tasha bullying me.
A kick landed in my stomach, which made me double over with pain. But that's the starting. She kicked me and punched me until she is tired.
"She will die, Tasha. Let her go" one of her friends stops her.
I could feel her glare from over me.
"Let her" The arrogant princess muttered venomously.
"The Raven prince wouldn't like it" her friend reminded her.
Tasha would have killed me if she could. Death might be much better than the life I am living.
"I don't know what he sees in her. She shares his bed and his room every day. That's my place. I am his future wife. I thought he wouldn't take slaves or mistresses, it is not his style. But I don't know what he sees in this creep" she muttered.
I wanted to laugh. I wanted to tell her that I would leave him gladly if I could. But he will never let me, and even if he did, I won't leave the Raven palace.
The bell rings and the students clear out of the halls and rush to their respective classes.
'I thought I could be free after my eighteenth birthday. But I became a slave on that day' she thought sadly.
I gathered myself and slowly walked towards the class. The teacher gave me a pity-filled look but otherwise didn't comment anything. The day passed like any other day for me. More insults, more taunts, and thankfully no run in's with Tasha.
I walked two miles back to the Raven palace. That is my prison. That is where I am being trapped by him. This is the place where I am paying for my mistake. As I enter the gates of the Raven palace, the tall walls feel like they are closing in on me. My flight instinct is so strong, that I have to push that urge back down with a lot of effort. There is no place in this world where I can run away from him, even if I wanted to run. But the sad part is, I can't leave this palace, at least, not yet.
I finger the opal pendant that is hanging to a gold chain and sitting on my color bone. I am bound to him with this gold chain, and its key is hanging around his neck. This is his claim over me. Anyone who sees this pendant would know to whom I belong to.
The repercussion of my actions would be something that I would regret as long as I live. I am forced to serve him naked every Night because I disobeyed him once and didn't go to school because of the bullying. He warned me that he would sell me in a slave market if I try that again. He wants to make my life as miserable as he can, and I know I deserve it.
Raphael Ravan might be many things, but he is not a liar. He will stand by his word.
"Wash these dishes" a maid pushes me in the general direction of the kitchen, where a mountain of dishes is waiting for me. I am a nobody here. My status is lower than a maid in the palace. Quietly I walk towards the dishes and begin to work. After the dishes, I clean the huge kitchen and eat some leftover food that is waiting for me on the floor. I am only allowed one meal per day. After that, I walk towards his chambers. With each step I take near his chamber, I shudder with fear. But I have to do this.
I reach his chamber and start cleaning. I straighten the bedding, clean the floor, and then the bathroom. After I am sure that there is not a single speck of dust anywhere, I rush to the servant quarters to clean up. I have to come back before he would come back. I have to prepare his bath, serve him food, and then the worst thing, become his bed warmer.

Raphael returned back from another failed search. He is searching for the medicine to help his mother, but he cannot find anything. He is tired and frustrated. His anger is raising as time passed by and they couldn't find anything to help the Queen. As he stepped inside the palace, everyone scurried out of his way. He walked towards his chamber with long purposeful strides. The moment he stepped inside his chamber, her mouthwatering scent hit his nostrils. He hates her with every fiber of his being. But still her scent and body makes me intoxicated. She is everywhere in his chamber. Her scent is everywhere and he can see that she cleaned his room like a good little slave. He heard the sound of water running inside the bathroom. He banged the door open, making her jump with fright. Valerie felt him before she heard him.

"She is not dead yet. I paid you for nothing" a man in a black cloak growled at another man. Both the men are wearing black cloaks, and are having a heated discussion under the blanket of darkness in a remote place. "She is not just anyone. She is the queen of the Raven clan. If the Raven prince gains a hint of our betrayal, he will kill us with his bare hands. Haste will only ruin our plan" the other one snapped right back, not caring that the man with whom he is speaking holds power in the royal court.The first one is becoming restless."Fine, do whatever you want but kill her soon," he said impatiently."Alright, I will try to kill her soon" the second one promised.On the other hand, in Windsor high, Valarie is taking books from her locker for her next class, when someone came and stood beside her.

She has a bad feeling that he would find out about this and punish her. She is scared, but she doesn't want Tyson to get in trouble because of her.Tyson saw Valarie waiting for him near the parking lot. He was thinking that she might not show up. But to his relief, she came."Valerie, let's go," he said and began to lead her towards his car.Valerie looked at Tyson with panic. The parking lot is almost empty as everyone else left for the day."No, Prince Tyson, stop," she said and try to dig her feet into the ground. But he is not ready to listen to her anymore. He is done watching her suffer every day."No, this will end today. I cannot watch like a silent spectator while everyone is bullying you and i
Slave of the Raven Prince Know nothing
'You know nothing about me 'Raphael kept thinking about what Valerie has said to Tyson Nester. Not only Tyson, no one knows anything about her. She is a mystery. She appeared out of thin air and he found her pulling a poisoned saber out of his mother's stomach. He can never forget that day, which changed everything for him. He was supposed to take the Raven crown. But after what happened to his mother, he refused to sit on that throne until she recovers. But as the days passed by and Valerie refused to tell about what happened that night, his anger and resentment towards her increased to the point where he began to hate her. Despite what his mind thinking against her, he became obsessed with her. What she does, whom she talks to, what she eats, what she wears, he took control of everything.'I deserve everything 'He rubbed his face feeling frustrated."What do you mean by that? Did you hurt my mother intentionally and regret it now? But what about when you refused my claims when i a
Slave of the Raven Prince No place to stay
Valerie is feeling helpless. No one is allowing her inside. She tried every small establishment, and she begged for jobs. Forget about listening to what she was saying, they took one look at her and the opal pendant hanging around her neck and literally pushed her away from their premises. They all know that she belongs to the Raven Prince, so no one is interested to take her in. Taking her in is equal to insulting the prince, which no one would do. As the slave of the Raven prince, her place is inside the palace or death. She cannot go anywhere else with that pendant still hanging around her neck. As the darkness descends, she was left alone on the streets without food or water. No one in Windsor is even allowed to sleep on the streets. Slowly she moved out of Windsor and decided to rest in the nearby woods for the night. She cannot do anything but that. As she is so tired, she took a closer path. This patch of woods cuts across the urban and rural parts of the place. 'What is she
Slave of the Raven Prince Unexpected help
The next morning, Valerie woke up feeling fresh and with a beautiful smile on her face. The chirping of the birds, the soft breeze kissing her, the soft rays of the sun gifting her a new day. She looked around the forest feeling so relaxed and peaceful. She use to carry the weight of what happened that night in her heart. The guilt and the sadness refused to leave her, no matter wherever she is. But now, she is finally free of her guilt as the queen recovered and she is finally free from the heavy shackles of her past. Valerie doesn't have a penny to her name, nor does she have a plan of action to survive. She also knows that she might not get a job or a place to stay until she has that pendant around her neck. She touched that pendant with her fingers. An image of Raphael popped into her mind, which made her shudder with fear. She took a choppy breath. "I am glad that her highness queen Irina recovered Prince Raven. I am not angry about how you treated me. Because I can understand
Slave of the Raven Prince Panicked by past
"So you are not his slave anymore?" Tyson asked with shock. After looking at how beautiful she is, he couldn't believe that Raphael let her go easily. They are sitting in front of the small but that she built for herself. She is looking at the small fire in front of her. As the sun has gone down, the cold breeze began to blow, which made her shiver. Tyson easily lit a fire using his dragon breath. The dried twigs began to burn, slowly spreading warmth and chasing away the coldness. Valerie sighed heavily and shook her head. Oddly she is feeling an uncomfortable twitch in her heart knowing that she might never see Prince Raven again. Tyson on the other hand is happy. He is meddling with the bonfire in the middle. His back is facing her, so she missed the smile on his face. But Raphael didn't. "I am glad that you got rid of him" he muttered. Valarie smiled. "It's more like the other way around. He got rid of me" she whispered sadly. Her statement shocked both men. Tyson turned h

Raphael and his men together surrounded the dead army from all four directions. They start to burn the dead army with their dragon fire. As Irina is momentarily disoriented, the dead army stands still like statues, while their bodies are burned down to ashes. When Irina realized what was happening, she gained back the control she has on the dead people again. "You dumb idiots, attack" she screeched loudly. At once the dead army started charging toward the Raven palace again. As their bodies already started burning, they are now walking fireballs charging towards the Palace gates. At once the palace gates shook with the force of the dead army. It creaked loudly, protesting from the force with which the dead army was pushing at it and trying to breach the palace walls."Guards, shift and stop them from entering the palace. The gate will not hold that much force for longer. Barricade the gates with sandbags. Quick" Raphael instructed his men while he resumed burning their decayed bodie

"Your Highness, dead bodies are walking," he said in a rush. The guard is pale and looked scared. Raphael and Angoori ran outside and were shocked to see an army of dead and decaying people walking towards the Raven palace. Their bodies are muddy as if they just came from inside a grave. Bones can be seen in their half-decayed bodies. Most of them are just walking skeletons, and the rest are in the process of decaying. Irina is leading them in the front. She looked happy at herself. Raphael thought he was prepared to deal with anything Irina threw at them this time. But no amount of mental pep talk would have prepared him for this. 'How does anyone fight with already dead people?' he thought while taking in the walking dead steadily approaching the palace. The Raven guards look scared out of their minds. But the guards are trying to look brave and do their part by locking the tall wrought iron palace gates and positioning themselves to shield the entrance with weapons. That dead ar

Cadmus understood what Raphael meant by 'Our plan ' after half an hour. They are standing in the palace Courtyard and all the Raven guards are standing in front of them. Confusion is seen on their faces. It's almost midnight and a meeting with their king at this hour is not common. But Cadmus understood why Raphael is doing this now. Because they cannot afford to waste any time, especially when they don't know where Irina is and what she is planning. "You must be confused and thinking about why your new king wants to speak with you all at this hour. But I understood that this is the best time to speak about things that all of us want to hide from others" Raphael spoke.His words left everyone confused in the beginning, but then the men who are loyal to him understood where this was going. So they looked at each other and nodded their heads in understanding. Stealthily they changed their positions in such a way that they are now surrounding Irina's loyal men whom they are sure would g

After her failed attempt to threaten her enemies, Irina left the Coronation party in a fit of murderous rage. "No, if they think that they can intimidate me, then they are dead wrong. Raphael might not know about me, but Arthur, how did you think that I would let you go so easily? We grew up together. You know how stubborn I am. If I set my eyes on something, then that should either belong to me, or it should be destroyed. Just like you. I wanted you, but you rejected me and married anesthesia. I thought of killing you, but that would be an easy punishment for you. I want you to suffer. And your suffering would only end on the day you die. Now, your daughter made a huge mistake by taking over my position as the Raven Queen. You made my son go against me. That is a sin deemed to be punished by death. Now she will die, and so will you. None of you know what I did for two years after I left the Ernest palace. I practiced dark magic. All these years I was trying to amplify my dark powers
Slave of the Raven Prince My wrath
Irina has a malicious smile on her face. She is hiding how angry she is. She never thought that there would come a day when she might have to see her son laughing and chatting with the people she hates the most. What's worse is, he made her the worst enemy and made Arthur's daughter his Queen. "Hello Eugene" Irina greeted the Nester king. She intentionally skipped his title. This is the same way she used to address him when she used to stay in the Ernest clan. But after things turned bad between her and Arthur, she distanced herself from Eugene as well. Because she knows that he is loyal to Arthur.Eugene became stiff and so did the others. Raphael tightened his fists. Valerie's eyes flashed with anger. Anesthesia, Arthur, and Liliana have matching frowns of disgust. Hector and Cadmus look uncomfortable."Hello, Irina" he replied with a blank face. Irina turned her gaze towards Arthur. She wanted to disturb their happiness. "You look happy Arthur. I saw this kind of smile on you on

Slave of the Raven Prince The power of gold dragon
The entire Agnes clan bowed their heads when Valerie approached them. They don't have a choice. Going against a gold dragon is like going against a mountain that is taller and stronger. It's useless to fight with a mountain when you clearly know that you cannot win that battle. A gold dragon's wrath can destroy an entire clan. Her blessing would help any clan flourish and grow. The land that she touches will be greener than any other land."I am not killing you merely because I don't want my mate's coronation to be remembered with a blood bath. Ravens are known for their hospitality. You came here as a guest. I don't want to hurt a guest. But be aware, Princess Tasha. I will not tolerate disrespect either.
