LOGIN“Shhh, sweetheart,” Raven whispered as he rubbed Selina’s back while she sobbed softly, struggling to steady her breathing.Selina was known for being strong and composed, but overhearing Raven talk to Silas about her safety if anything happened to him had hardened her heart with pain. That conversation forced her to face just how dangerous their situation was and how deeply it could wound them both. She could not even bear to imagine losing Raven. The thought alone made her body tremble in fear. She prayed silently that it would never happen, because she knew she would not survive the devastation that would follow. Selina refused to walk any farther down that path of thought.“Selina.” Raven cupped her cheeks and gently guided her back so they were face to face.Selina lowered her head. The trembling of her chin was impossible to control as tears welled again, blurring her vision.Raven tucked her hair behind her ear and lifted her face, but Selina kept her eyes closed. She did not w
“This zone is dangerous. No healers or reinforcements are allowed to cross this line,” King Thorne said, pointing to the red line on the map.The war had begun. Pressure and tension weighed on everyone in the room. This was not just another battle. It was a matter of life and death, with the survival of their entire species at stake.“What happened to the unit we sent last night?” Leon asked, pointing at a spot on the map where the troops had been deployed.“They were slaughtered,” Varkon snapped.“What?” Raven growled.“Our plan was flawless, so how is it possible that not a single one of them survived?” Rowan asked, disbelief heavy in his voice.“Damn it,” Raven muttered, clenching his fist.“This explains why we’ve been losing at every turn. They already know what we’re going to do, like we’re deliberately sending our people to be wiped out,” Leon added, his voice tight with anger.“The plan we’re discussing right now, if it leaks, we’ll know the traitor is one of us,” Rowan said c
Morning.Shouts from outside the house jolted Selina awake. She sat up abruptly, her heart pounding as she rushed to the window in a half-dazed state. The remnants of sleep vanished the moment her eyes widened at the sight of a crowd moving hurriedly down the street in the opposite direction.“Selina!”The door burst open as Raven rushed in. “Are you okay?” He immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest, holding her tightly as if to make sure she was unharmed.“I’m fine. What’s going on out there?” Selina asked, her voice still trembling.“Dozens of our pack members were found dead at the end of the road,” Raven said. The words made Selina’s heart feel like it stopped beating.“What?” she whispered, shaking.“They were all killed the same way as the previous victims. At first, we thought it was the work of a serial killer. But this time, a note was left with the bodies. It’s been confirmed that the witches are behind it,” Raven explained.Selina’s head spun. Just when th
Selina frowned when Maya called and told her about what had just happened to their pack. Worry crept into her mind.“What do you mean?” Selina asked anxiously.“Three members of our pack were found dead near the border. The pack healer said the cause of death was magical. Rumors about witches attacking werewolves are spreading fast,” Maya said.Selina’s heart skipped, fear tightening her chest. “But the last witch of their kind is already dead. How could any of them still be alive?” she asked, her voice trembling.“I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the rumors are spreading like wildfire. I’m scared things will get out of control if we don’t act quickly,” Maya continued.Selina tried to calm her down. “Don’t panic, Maya. Everything will be fine. Raven said Alpha King Thorne is investigating this. A body was also found in the Kendall pack a week ago.”“I’m still scared. I don’t even dare take Oliver to the park because of those witches,” Maya said. They talked a bit longer, and Seli
Raven had warned Silas not to share this information with anyone. Jenna’s safety had to come first.Raven and Selina found an apartment for Jenna and rented it under their own names. It was very close to their house. Jenna initially refused when Selina offered to pay the deposit, but Selina convinced her not to worry about it. For Selina, as long as Jenna stayed safe and lived a happy life, that was more than enough repayment.Meanwhile, Raven contacted Rowan. Together, they began investigating the black market and the Scoundrels who controlled the illegal operations. The investigation was conducted quietly, but the deeper they dug, the clearer it became just how dangerous the network really was.A few days later, Selina bought some clothes for Jenna. After that, Jenna asked her to help find a job. Selina suggested that she rest for a few days first, but Jenna insisted on starting work as soon as possible. In the end, Selina accompanied her to look for a job.When Selina got home, she
Selina listened closely as the girl spoke. Her voice trembled, her eyes darting around nervously, like she expected someone to step out of the shadows at any moment.“I heard rumors about your blood, so I came here to find you,” Jenna said quietly, fear clear in her voice as she glanced around.Selina frowned. Is this girl running from someone? Her gaze dropped to the small canvas bag slung over Jenna’s shoulder, then to her clothes, worn and unkempt. She was clearly not in good shape.“Where are you staying?” Selina asked.The question made Jenna turn even paler.A sense of unease crept into Selina’s chest. Gently, she took Jenna’s arm and rolled up her sleeve. Selina froze. Those scars. The same scars she had on her own body. Her heart started pounding as her eyes traced every mark carved into Jenna’s skin.“By the Goddess,” she whispered.Jenna looked even more panicked now, her head constantly turning. Selina did not hesitate. She pulled her inside the house, shut the door quickly
Selina swallowed hard. Raven had been drugged. She kept wondering what they had given him. And who would do something like that to Raven? He had gone to meet Kendall’s father. Was he the one who had done this to Raven?She was about to turn around when Raven slammed his forehead against her back, p
Selina was reviewing the test results Silas had sent over earlier when her phone vibrated with an incoming message. She glanced at the screen, hoping it was from Raven. The hope died the moment Susan’s name popped up instead. A selfie filled the display, Susan smiling beside Evan in the library.
That night, before Raven went after Selina and slept with her over and over, burning with desire, Kendall saw him walk out of the bar and leave her there alone. She had no idea what she had done to deserve that kind of humiliation. It crushed her. Her pride stung.She’d met her father the day befor
“Bastard,” Leon muttered, voice cold. “How dare you,” he growled, low and sharp.He strode up to Dorian and slammed his fist into the man’s jaw. Dorian staggered back a few steps, groaning and spitting as blood trickled from his lip.“What the hell is your problem?!” Dorian snarled, trying to swing
