MasukRavenna’s POVMy grandfather had been moved into one of the grandest guest quarters on the upper floor of the palace, where he would be staying as an honored royal guest until the wedding day. I waited until the palace guards shifted their posts before slipping into his room quietly, shutting and locking the door firmly behind me.My grandfather was sitting in an armchair by the window, sipping dark tea from a porcelain cup. The moment he saw my expression, he set the cup down."Grandfather," I whispered, my voice trembling as the mask I wore all morning finally cracked. I rushed over and fell onto my knees beside his chair, gripping his wrinkled hands tightly in mine."What is wrong, my child?" he asked gently, his thumb smoothing over the back of my hand."I am terrified," I confessed, hot tears stinging my eyes. "I am so frustrated, and I don't know what to do anymore. Grandfather, I... I have fallen in love with Ronan."My grandfather did not look shocked. He merely sighed sof
Ravenna’s POVThe music and cheerful laughter of the engagement party buzzed softly in the background, but my mind was miles away. I quietly pulled away from the crowd of smiling well-wishers, my beautiful long dress rustling against the sand as I made my way toward the edge of the beach.Standing near the dark water, watching the white foam of the ocean waves crash against the shore, was the Prince. He was holding a crystal glass of champagne, his posture rigid and tall, looking completely isolated from the joy of the party.I took a breath and stopped right beside him."I was really surprised to see you here tonight," I said softly.The Prince did not look at me right away. He took a slow sip of his drink before turning his head. "Ronan invited me," he replied smoothly. "He said he wanted everyone who is close to you to be present for his special surprise." He let out a faint, dry chuckle. "Though we both know the real truth. He invited me to mark his territory. He wanted to ma
Ravenna’s POV For a split second, panic gripped my chest. But I am a master of deception. I quickly swallowed my fear, forcing a bright, beautiful smile onto my face as I pretended that nothing was wrong.I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with emotion. The reality of the situation was crashing down on me. I was getting engaged to the future Alpha King.I walked forward and immediately greeted my grandfather. I threw my free arm around his neck, hugging him tightly."I am so proud of you, my dear," my grandfather whispered in my ear, his voice breaking with genuine joy."Thank you, Grandpa," I choked out, a single real tear escaping my eye.I pulled away and greeted my friends, accepting their excited hugs and happy whispers. Then, I turned to the royals. I forced myself to walk over to the Luna Queen and the Prince."Good evening, Your Grace," I said to the Luna, dipping my head in a polite bow. "I am so happy you could be here tonight.""Of course," Selena replied, her smile loo
Ravenna’s POV For the rest of the entire week, I lived in a state of constant fear. It was not a fear of physical danger, nor was it the fear of my true identity as Ravenna being discovered by the royal guards.No matter how hard I tried to focus on my grand revenge plan against the Luna Queen, my thoughts constantly drifted back to Ronan. I found myself thinking about him entirely too much. I thought about his deep, rumbling laugh, the warm weight of his hand resting on my lower back, and the intense, hungry way he looked at me across a crowded room. Every time he entered my room, my wolf practically purred in total submission and delight. My emotional walls were crumbling down rapidly and there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop it.To make matters worse, Ronan spent the entire week treating me like I was the most precious prize in the world. With Thalia finally out of the palace, his attention was completely and exclusively fixed on me. He did not hold anything back. H
Ravenna’s POV Ronan returned to my room pacing like a caged animal. His eyes were dark with anger. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched him quietly until he finally stopped pacing and looked at me.With a deep, shaky breath, he explained everything that had just happened in the guest wing. He told me how he went to kick Thalia out, how he heard a noise, and how he found his Beta completely naked inside her bathroom. He told me they admitted to being fated mates and had been secretly sleeping together long before he and Kate officially broke up.As he spoke, a sudden memory flashed in my mind. Everything finally clicked. I remembered a few weeks ago when I was walking down the guest hallway late at night. I had seen Beta quickly slipping out of Kate’s room. At the time, I did not think much about it. I just assumed he was delivering a message from the King or doing a late-night security check. Now, I understood the real reason why he was sneaking around in the dark.Ronan ra
Ronan’s POVMy heart stopped beating for a full second. My lungs completely forgot how to take in air. I just stared, completely dumbstruck, at the naked man standing on the wet tiled floor in front of me.My Beta. My right-hand man. My closest friend in the entire world.He stood there holding a plastic bottle of shampoo, his eyes wide with terror as he looked back at me. He did not move. He did not speak. He looked like a deer caught in the bright headlights of a fast-moving truck.A hot, burning fire of anger suddenly exploded deep inside my chest. It was a kind of anger I had never felt before in my entire life. My hands curled into tight, hard fists. My inner wolf roared loudly in my mind, violently scratching at the walls of my brain. As I stood there staring at him, all the broken puzzle pieces suddenly crashed together inside my brain. The strange things I had foolishly ignored in the past finally made perfect sense.I remembered how they always seemed to be standing just a
Ravenna's POV My stomach dropped. Something in his voice and in the way he thrusted into me earlier had told me something was wrong. And now he needed my help. “You did what?” I whispered, my voice trembling as I searched his face for answers. He held my hand, his gaze locked unto mine. “My love,
Bloodmoon Pack10 PMRavenna’s POVThey said an omega’s place was on her knees. Scrubbing and begging.That was what Luna Selena whispered into my ear as she pushed me into the dirt that evening, her perfume choking me more than her words.“Pitiful slave, a dog the Alpha should have left for dead.
Ronan’s POV“Hello, beautiful.”The words left my mouth before I could even think. I had spent the last hour chasing a crying Thalia and dealing with my mother’s cold glares, but my mind was stuck on the girl at the bar.Vexley turned around slowly. When her eyes met mine, she didn't look afraid or
Ravenna's POV "You look.... wow." Astrid's voice was breathy, her mouth wide open in admiration as she stared at me. "Vexley, you're stunning.
