Rayven sat in the carriage with daggers with a dagger in each of his boots, prepared for whatever danger they might face on their way or when they arrived at Angelica's home. Hopefully, it was only stupid humans but he doubted that anyone would touch Angelica's home now that she was married to him. But what could the shades be doing in her home? They must know that she wouldn't be there or did this have to do with William? There was only one way to find out. If her home had been searched then they…-

Angelica wasn't sure why she was crying. It had been a long day and the night before had been even longer. A part of her was worried. Worried about her home and her things getting thrown or destroyed. All the things from her childhood but most importantly, the memories from her mother. It was the only thing she had left of her. Another part of her was worried about the man holding her in his arms. Every time he moved or when he told her he had to leave and also while he was gone, she was afraid that he…

What did she mean by his heart was beating? Rayven panicked but then he felt it. He felt his heart skip a beat. He even heard it. How could it be possible? Moving her hand away he touched his chest. Beneath his palm, he could feel the drumming against his ribcage. "It is back." He said. How? Why? "What is back?" Angelica asked him confused. "My heart is back. It is back." He repeated in disbelief. Then he shook his head. It shouldn't be back. Not now. Angelica looked at him…

Angelica's body jerked as she cried in his arms. It was a heartwrenching cry that added to his pain. He stroked her back as he began to cry in silence as well. Angelica pulled away. "You scared me. Don't do that again." She scolded. He was scared too. Wiping her tears away she grabbed his face in her hands. He hated to cry in front of others. It still felt wrong to do so. He cringed inside but he couldn't help it. "You did well. It will be alright now." She comforted. He shook his head. "I…

Rayven went back to his room as tears streamed down his face. Finally, he had let it out. He was relieved but at the same time, the pain worsened. He caused yet another person to get hurt because of him but also saying what he did to his sister out loud, was the most painful punishment he received in all of his years being punished. Dragging himself across the halls, he came to his room at last and locked himself in. He sat leaning against the door and for the first time let himself fully cry. Strange…

Angelica lay in her bed, feeling her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Yet she couldn't sleep. Her body had never felt more alive. She could feel her heart pounding, her blood flowing hot in her veins and humming a song of pleasure, her nerves sending heat to different parts of her body and her skin tingling. Unable to keep her eyes open, she closed them and stayed in a state between tiredness and restlessness. What was happening to her? This felt so strange. Her body and brain were working against…

Rayven was shocked by the pain of his fangs poking out. Usually, his gums would itch first and they would take their time to slowly pierce through and elongate. But this time they protruded so fast that it shocked and pained him. He sat with his hand covering his mouth for a while just to recover from what just happened but her scent lingered in the air and he could still feel the heat from her lips and body. He had to get away from this place. Far away. He could only think of going to Lazarus.…

What was gone? Angelica's mind was only focused on the sensation that went through her body. She just stared at him. Specifically his mouth. As if realizing what he had just done he released her finger and cleared his throat before turning away. He looked down at his plate before smiling to himself while shaking his head. "What am I doing?" He muttered. She wondered the same. What was he doing to her? He must be able to hear her loudly beating heart and her shaky breath. He must be able to see her…

As soon as her brother left and nothing else was occupying her mind, Angelica went back to think of the incident with Lord Rayven. She couldn't believe that she was actually thinking of this rather than the departure of her brother. His words kept echoing in her mind, causing her heart to beat fast. Hungry. Taste. Bite. Beast. Why did he have to use such words? But most of all, why did these words bother her in a way they shouldn't? Suddenly her corset felt too tight and her clothes too heavy. She…

Angelica thought he had forgotten about the no touching rule but she was wrong. He still seemed as disturbed by being touched and now that she knew it wasn't repulsion and fear she wondered why he feared being touched. His shoulders lifted and she could hear him take a deep breath before he turned to face her. "It is not that I am repulsed by you..." He began to explain calmly which surprised her. He never cared to explain his actions. He was behaving differently these days but it was a good change. "I…
