All Chapters of Awakening The Sliver Wolf : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

DARIUS POV She was beautiful. The darkness of the cell had hidden her, but now, bathed in light and cleansed of the blood, her beauty shone forth. Beautiful was too small a word to describe her: she was breathtaking. Her silver hair, now cleansed of the crimson stain, shimmered with an almost otherworldly radiance, each strand catching the light and reflecting it back with a brilliance that seemed to defy her age. Her olive skin, fresh and vibrant, glowed with a healthy luminescence, as if she had just emerged from a refreshing dip in a cool spring, the water leaving behind a dewy sheen. And her eyes... those piercing gray eyes, they burned with an intensity that was both captivating and unsettling, a fire that seemed to demand attention, a fire I found myself inexplicably drawn to, a fire I longed to quench. Her delicate features belied a strength I knew she possessed. The thought of her wielding a sword see

RAVENNA POV "It's nothing to worry yourself about," Mia said as she resumed eating. "Of course it is," I said. "They just gave me a warning. I don't know you well but I'm already looking forward to hanging out with you." Mia finally raised her head and met my gaze, her face unreadable before she signed and put down her fork. "My father was a traitor to the pack," she began, her hand trembling slightly. "He made a deal with the Blood Moon Clan, promising them information about our territory in exchange for power. He thought he could outsmart everyone and elevate our family’s status."My heart sank. “What happened?”Mia’s gaze dropped back to her plate. "He was caught. The Alpha had no choice but to execute him in front of the entire pack. It was brutal. His betrayal weakened our defenses, and several of our members were killed as a result of his actions." My brow furrowed. "And now they blame you?""Exa

RAVENNA POV My heart wouldn't stop beating like crazy. It's pounding so furiously in my chest, I think it might break through my rids.What the hell had happened back there? I lifted my hand to my cheek where his finger had brushed. I still felt the warmth of that little touch. The fluttering in my stomach was a betrayal. It shouldn't be there, a silly, childish reaction to a simple memory. But the way his eyes had darkened, the way his gaze had lingered on me, as if he were drinking in the scent of my hair... It was intoxicating. I'm not supposed to feel those things. He's the enemy. The enemy I'm planning to kill. The enemy that killed Lilith. That was the reminder I had needed to get back on track. My heart finally started beating normal as I felt my resolve build back up and this time five times stronger.I entered my room to find Mia lying on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. She jumpe

RAVENNA POV "Give me one of your most prized possessions. Something you value dearly. And do not just give me just anything and say it's prized, I would know if you're deceiving me." There was no way in hell I would know if he was deceiving me but Darius didn't have to know that. Why was I asking for his most prized possession, you may ask. It was a simple petty answer. I wanted Darius to hurt. My father had once owned a ring. It was given to him by my mother. He loved that ring more than he loved his own pack. When my mother died he used it to remember her. And then he had lost the ring during a trip. And the only time I had seen my father that heartbroken was when my mother died. Losing that ring had broken him finally. So if Darius had a prized possession like that, giving it up would hurt him, no matter how cold his heart was. It was just a gamble. I didn't know if this man could hold anything close to his heart. But it seems he did because his eyes darkened. "Ask for som

RAVENNA POV"Today we're training in sword fighting," Mia said as we both picked our sword from the weapon table. "Yes, master," I teased with a small grin. Mia rolled her eyes and took a fighting stance. "I don't even know why you need me to train you. Seriously, I think you're better than I am." I rolled my shoulders. "I'm not. Now enough talking, let's fight." "With pleasure." With a swift motion, Mia charged forward, her blade aimed at my shoulder. I sidestepped, the steel glinting as I raised my sword to parry the blow. The two of us exchanged a series of strikes, each movement precise and practiced.I spun low, aiming for Mia’s legs, but Mia jumped, landing gracefully and countering with a quick thrust. I deflected it, our swords ringing out with every clash. We moved like a well-rehearsed dance, the rhythm of our duel captivating."This is boring," Mia grumbled. And then she feinted left, then lunged right, pushing me to the edge of my guard. With a quick flick of my wri
