CW : NonCon Panic locked my throat. I didn't hesitate—I scrambled away from his touch, rolled off the bed, and flew across the room toward the doors. I yanked the handle, kicking the wood loudly in a desperate bid to alert the guards outside. But two massive, strong arms closed around me. The Wolf dragged me backward, lifting my feet completely off the floor. I thrashed against his grip, but he hauled me across the room and threw me violently onto the bed. His weight descended over me, pinning me down flat. Warm lips closed over mine, pressing hard as they tried to force my mouth open. I ripped my mouth free and cried out, "Stop!" “Be as loud as you want, little bird.” He whispered against my lips. “Stop it!” The Wolf didn't stop. If anything, my protests only seemed to incense him. With a loud rip, my robe was torn down off my legs, leaving me completely naked from the waist down. I took advantage of the momentary release and tried to scramble off the bed, but he dragged me

RAVENThe maids dressed me in an elaborate silk robe inspired by the court's traditional designs. It was a soft, pale pink fabric draped heavily off my shoulders, exposing my collarbones and the upper part of my back.I scoffed mentally. Show off the marks, why don't we? Not like they don't already see the claiming mark, but now we had to show them the love bites too.But I had to admit, the silk was beautiful. The wide collar and sleeves were framed by a thick, ornate border of gold and light blue silk, heavily embroidered with dark floral patterns and twisting vines. To finish it, they fastened long, dangling silver earrings to my ears that brushed against my neck with every movement."You look very beautiful, Your Grace," one of the younger maids whispered, smoothing down my hair, which now cascaded much longer past my shoulders. "The colors suit you.”I couldn't even bring myself to look in the mirror."We must proceed," their leader announced, adjusting the fur-lined cape over my

RAVEN My gaze was locked on Eilís. Why was he frowning? Why wasn't he happy? I was finally accepted. Shouldn't he be happy? “Go forth and celebrate, and tonight we shall hunt!” the King said. The howls seemed to get higher before everybody slowly dispersed, until I was left with the King sitting and grinning from ear to ear. Eilís slowly stood up, the frown not moving from his face. I took his arm before he could walk past me. “What's wrong?” When he raised his eyes to meet mine, I was shocked at the anger I saw there. “We need to talk,” he said, pulling away and walking out. I stared at his back, my heart suddenly in my throat. I didn't remember doing anything wrong. Did I do something to annoy him? “Raven,” the King called before I could go after Eilís. “Yes, sire?” I turned and bowed as I walked toward him. He gave me a smile, his gold eyes bright and glowing. “You don't need to do that anymore.” He chuckled, raising a hand to rest on my shoulder. “I will send Denis to ass

EILÍS“You regret it now, don't you?” Camden smirked at me, pulling on his hiking boots.I rolled my eyes. “Enjoy it while it lasts.”“But for real though, you should give him the benefit of the doubt. He did it for both of you.”“Drop it,” I hissed, turning away from him and picking up my arrow.But of course, Camden continued. “But you agree he's right. It's not like you had something planned. There was literally nothing you could have done to stop it. You're just annoyed that he listened to your father.”I slammed the arrow back down in anger. “Drop it, Camden!”“I just want you to see reason. He didn't purposely hide it from you. You're the one blocking the bond! You're enduring it!”“Enough! He's human! He shouldn't feel like I'm controlling him! I don't want him to feel overwhelmed because he feels what I'm feeling!”“But you're feeling what he's feeling!” Camden shouted back. “You're taking away his aches, his emotions, you're taking it all into yourself! You bottle it all up f

RAVEN I pushed the door to my chambers open and stepped inside, my breath hitching. Calani was already there, sitting on the edge of the couch. Her hands were gripping each other tightly in her lap, her face pale. The moment the door clicked shut, she stood up, walked over to me, and took my hand in hers. "Sit down, Raven," she said, her voice unusually firm. I let her pull me toward the couch, my pulse picking up. "Calani, what is this? The maid said it was urgent." She looked straight into my eyes. "I think it's time I told you about your mother." I gasped, a sudden bolt of surprise cutting through the strange numbness in my chest. I sat completely still, anticipating what she would say next. "I'll start with this," Calani said, her grip tightening on my fingers. "Your family as you know it—the Diernas. They are not your biological family." "What?" I yanked my hand back and stood up in disbelief. "What the hell are you talking about?" "Your mother's name was Matilda." "No,
