Ravina wasn’t sure what she was going to witness next, but a priest stepped into the circle and began to speak to the bride and groom privately. “He is preparing them for the mating now. The groom will leave a mark of teeth and the bride will leave a mark of claws,” Malachi explained. “Will you be alright to watch?” “How can you leave a mark if you can heal?” She asked. He smiled amused. “There is an instinct element to finding a breedmate but also a magic element. So when two souls come…-

Ravina watched Joel make a try this time and he spent more time talking but still failed. Kara kept glancing away, uninterested, and then she said something that made the smile on Joel’s face fade before she walked away. As he eyes searched for Aaron, she saw that some women tried their luck with Saul who was completely uninterested. He was the unreachable man for some women. The quiet, distanced male and that made him mysterious and a challenge. Just what some women liked. Well, at least according to…

Ravina felt like an old man walking with a cane she made for herself, grasping it tightly as nausea overtook her. She wasn’t sure why she suddenly felt nauseous but the voice in the back of her head whispered “Queen”. Her heart sank, as the reality of it dawned on her. ‘I don’t want to be a queen,’ the small frightened voice in her head called. She wasn’t ready yet. Oh Lord, she wasn’t ready for anything. Her determination, confidence, and willpower, all went up in smoke. She was left with…

Malachi went home with a little heaviness and dread this time. He felt like a fool after what he had learned about Ravina. How could he have been so blind to the signs? He had blamed himself so much for missing all those signs with his sister, yet he missed them with his breedmate. She could have jumped off the cliff that day. God, she could have been dead from the attacks he caused. His heart trembled as his hold on the gift box in his hand tightened. He could have killed his breedmate. He was nauseous…

Malachi watched Ravina as she spoke to his people. He strained his ears. They were allowing people to test the vegetable peeler for themselves and then they were selling it for a price. Those who tried were impressed by its simplicity and Ravina gave credit to Boris who then explained that the idea was hers and he only followed it. People passing by stopped, curious to see what was going on. Ravina offered them a peeler and potatoes to try. Some of them were reluctant even if they were impressed. “I am…

“Ravina? Ravina!” Ravina was lost in thoughts of her sister that she didn’t hear Malachi’s voice until he shook her. She came to the present and looked at him. He stared at her with a worried frown. “What is wrong? Tell me,” he urged. Ravina realized she had cried while thinking of her sister. She felt some strange thing while thinking of her, a connection, deep sadness but also a call as if her sister was at the moment thinking of her as well. This was a first since the day she lost…

Be by his side? She looked at him not sure of what that meant. What was he asking her exactly? He shook his head slightly with a smile. “My apologies. That was too fast.” “I just… I don’t know what you mean.” She admitted. He smiled gently. “It makes sense. We will have to spend some more time together for me to ask and for you to understand what I mean and be able to decide.” Spend more time? She liked that. She was here anyway, waiting for Russell to wake up. Ephraim took her on a…

Darcy’s heart was beating fast as she waited for the Phantom to continue. She was nervous about what he would say. Scared. “I hope I didn’t startle you, last night.” He spoke. She breathed, relaxing a little. “No.” “I hope you didn’t mind either?” He hoped? “I didn’t,” she said feeling flustered. She was suddenly shy, which was unlike her. Maybe wearing the dress she turned into a lady or maybe it was just him. “I have wanted to kiss you,” he confessed, his voice reaching…

Darcy cried in silence for what seemed like forever. Not only would it mean that her father was dead, but her mother too. She lay curled in bed, crying over people she couldn’t remember but still, she grieved their loss. Now, she would never know them. And then she remembered, Russell called her daughter. She was utterly confused, her mind thinking of what that could mean. Her head began to hurt, so she allowed herself to sleep again. When she woke she was met by two female servants when she left the…

Punish him? Oh, she had wanted to do that. She had wanted to punish them all and then herself, her last punishment being to disappear from this world. Disappear. That was still a dream. One she had been close to achieving and that she would have probably achieved if not for a bigger dream. To see her sister. Malachi looked at her bruised ankle while Nako came back with a bowl of cold water with ice. Ravina was sure he didn’t give her instructions on how to prepare it but he took the bowl and then…
