Angelica went back to the kitchen a little shaken. She was confused, shocked, pained, and saddened. She couldn't understand why someone would do that to themselves. How someone could do that to themselves? He had just looked fine, being nicely dressed and with fine hair. He spoke calmly and politely and then he did this. So many questions were going through her head and she had no one to confide in. She missed William. Going to the backyard she took a deep breath of fresh air and tried to gather…-

Trigger Warning!! Self-harm. ************* Rayven watched Angelica stunned. This woman must have lost her mind or perhaps there was something about her that he didn't know, that she was hiding. He couldn't read her mind after all. If her brother was a prophet then what was she? Who was she? He should be more careful around her. Now he was assuming she was human but perhaps she wasn't. There was something about the whole Davis family. The father couldn't be compelled which could have been more…

"Very clever to hide here," Simu smirked as the other man dragged her to him. "I work for Lord Rayven now." She said hoping it would scare them away. "Does he know about your debt?" Simu asked, "or did you lie to a Lord? Maybe you hid the mark as well. I know the clever ones like you." He grabbed her and pulled her out of the other man's hold. He brought her close to him and glared at her. "I warned you not to cross me." He said with clenched teeth. "Now I will make you…" "What are you…

Angelica watched Lord Rayven walk up the stairs. For the first time, she had seen hurt in his eyes except for the sadness and pain she saw from time to time. Otherwise, his eyes were mostly dark, cold, and empty. As if something inside him had died. She knew she had come to a dangerous man. Not in the sense that people thought but much more dangerous. She had always sensed that he was trouble and she had been curious but now being here with him she definitely didn't like the trouble part. Especially not…

Rayven opened his eyes with a groan. He didn't want to wake up but after the long sleep, he couldn't force himself to sleep anymore. Especially not when he could hear Angelica moving around the castle. What was she doing? The aroma of freshly baked bread greeted him after a long period of ignoring her. This couldn't be Jada since he compelled her to leave after bringing her in just to take care of Angelica. He pushed himself up annoyed. What was the woman up to? Dragging himself downstairs he…

Angelica was a bit shaken. She had been so frightened and after Lord Rayven left her standing near the front door she fell to her knees. She remained kneeling down until she was calm enough and not shaking then she ran back to the room and locked herself in. As if this would keep her safe. Lord Rayven couldn't even look at her now. He had been so disgusted that he didn't want to touch her even if it was to throw her out. What would she do now? She had somehow expected this to happen but why hadn't…

Rayven studied Angelica in the dim light. She held him in a hypnotic trance with her blue eyes. Without even realizing it, he was bothering to talk to her. He liked the way she spoke her mind and wasn't afraid of him yet it annoyed him. But what annoyed him the most was that he couldn't know what she was thinking. Of all people, why couldn't he read her thoughts? It was as if she was a punishment sent to him from the heavens. An angel sent to punish this demon. The way she tortured him was worse than…

Angelica opened her eyes, feeling welcomed by the daylight and the warmth of fresh-smelling bedsheets. For a moment she thought she was having a good dream but she was only awake. Awake and still in Lord Rayven's home. Panicking she sat up. What happened? She remembered him carrying her up after she fell ill. How embarrassing. At least, he didn't throw her out, she realized as she sighed. She felt like she still had a chance and considered pretending to be unwell until she could gather the courage to…

She remained frozen in place as Lord Rayven walked by her and began to head upstairs. Tomorrow morning? No. She couldn't leave. She had nowhere to go. When she turned back to ask him to let her stay a little longer, he had already left. He had just walked by her. When did he even reach the top? She hurried upstairs to see if she could catch up to him but he was nowhere to be seen.? Maybe it was better this way. She had until tomorrow morning to think of what to say to him so he would let her…

Rayven went to a room on the other side of the castle, far away from where Angelica was sleeping. He didn't want to hear her breathing, smell her scent, or even think of her being anywhere near him. He didn't want to ask himself why she looked the way she did and why she came here of all places. Why? The woman most have lost her mind. He could kill her here and no one would even know. Not that they would care about a traitor's daughter. No human had ever dared to climb the hill and come to his…
