When Skender woke up not feeling sad or emotional. He was back to having his eyes open. He had let himself come here last night despite knowing that it was dangerous. Now he would have to leave. This back and forth wouldn't work. It would hurt many people, but mostly him. As he was about to leave quietly Rayven woke up. "Are you leaving?" "Yes." "You can stay for breakfast." Skender stared at him for a long moment. He was glad to see him like this, glad to see this change but sad that he would…-

It took time for Rayven to get over his shock of having Skender's claws in his neck. He kept bleeding for a long while, since healing from an archdemons attack took time and even more so, a defender. Once the bleeding stopped he hurried to find Lucrezia. This was scaring him. Skender, no matter how angry he became never say harsh words that were not constructive. He didn't believe in repaying harshness. And this meant, the destroyer was there but not to destroy at once. He was still hidden somehow but he…

Skender pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from his claws as he walked away. Ridiculous. Really. To think that he would act casually if the woman he liked was with someone else. And to worry about such a thing when he was already mated. "Skender!" Acheron's voice suddenly snapped him back, as if something left his mind, throwing him off balance. He felt confused for a moment. He had been in the meeting setting some new rules and then…what happened? "Skender? Is everything…

Rayven went back to his chamber where he knew Angelica waited. What had he been thinking? They were mated now for God's sake, but unfortunately, the mating didn't take away his selfishness. It was enough now. He had to stop. Not only would he make Angelica tired, but he was getting tired too. He was going to let himself enjoy this blessing even in his selfishness. Even if he didn't deserve it right now. Walking into the room, he found Angelica seated next to the fire with a book in her hand. As soon…

Skender felt like he was suffocating. "Leave!" He told Lucrezia. "Not everything is lies, Skender. You are born with the natural ability to tell between good, bad and evil. Do you really think Ramona had bad intentions?" He looked up, his breath coming out in short pants. The pain in his chest was suffocating him. "She went to Constantine to save you from becoming a destroyer. She left you despite being frightened and went to the very creatures she feared as it was her only option left. If she…

Skender didn't know where he was going. He just kept walking down the hill and then through the woods and continued further. The moon followed him above and the soft night breeze caressed him on his way to nowhere. Words from the past echoed in his mind. Words Ramona had said to him. And he heard her laughter as well. 'Skender, I have met no better man than you.' 'Your happiness is my happiness.' She had taken his hand, 'I believe in you.' she had told him. Believed in him? He remembered…

After Lazarus and Acheron went home, Rayven was left alone with Skender who kept drinking. "It is enough now," he told him. "You need to recover." Skender let his head fall to one side and studied him with a sad smile. His gaze was protruding and Rayven dared not meet his blue eyes. He felt ashamed. He would rather Skender yelled at him, fought him than only look at him like that. This thing with Marie made things worse. He didn't like it at all. "Why did you go that far? Why would you offer…

Rayven became surprised. He knew it was one thing to not be scared of his fangs in the heat of the moment but he knew she was still uncomfortable with fangs which were understandable especially now after Constantine abducted her. "Well, you have to do something for them to appear." He smirked surprised that he could be playful after feeling dead the last five days. Angelica moved closer with a knowing smile. She loomed over him and brought her lips down on his. His dead body came alive, his silent…

Angelica was disturbed by all that had happened. Seeing everyone injured and Skender in such a bad condition saddened her. To know that all of this could get worse worried her. Only if Skender woke up, everything else would be alright. Now all of them were tense. William was worried and Rayven was somehow absent and disturbed. They took turns taking care of Skender but his condition seemed to worsen. His body had been burning so hot that she thought he would die of fever. He also suffered from…

Rayven was fighting off the shades while keeping an eye on Constantine and Skender. These shades weren't easy to fight, as if Constantine had given them some special training. Having Blayze with them was a huge benefit. The demon turned into a large ugly beast whenever his anger got the best of him. He crushed the enemy easily. The only problem was that he could be a danger to them as well and should be avoided in his beast form. The rage made him blind. Skender was of more use than he expected. He was…
