"What the hell are you doing to my Alpha?"
Finn's voice thundered through the room as his eyes fell on the flames blazing on my chest. They were visible even through my white shirt, though strangely enough, the fabric wasn't burning-only my skin beneath it.
Without hesitation, Finn yanked his gun from the holster at his waist, pointing it directly at Raven. "Stop your magic right now, or I swear, all six bullets will be in your skull in seconds," Finn warned, his voice cold and unwavering.
Raven glanced at Finn, his expression calm, and replied, "Relax, Beta. Your Alpha is far stronger than you give him credit for."
I clenched my jaw as I glared at Raven. He had the audacity to attack me with his magic. How dare he?
I turned my attention to Finn and held up a hand, signaling him to lower the gun.
Finn's hesitation was obvious-his grip on the weapon tightened as though he didn't want to comply- but he couldn't disobey my command. Reluctantly, he lowered the gun and stepped back.
The moment Finn stood down, Raven shifted his focus back to me, his tone even. "I apologize, Alpha. I was only defending myself."
The flames inside me felt like they were creeping closer to my heart, and the pain was unbearable. My growl filled the room as I snarled, "Stop this fucking magic. Now."
In an instant, the burning ceased. The flames, the searing pain-everything vanished as if it had never been there.
I fixed Raven with a cold, deadly stare.
"I apologize again, Alpha," he repeated with surprising calmness.
I curled my fists tightly, filled with the urge to end this man's life. But I restrained myself-for now.
"I'll cage you in my dungeon," I told him, my voice low and menacing.
For the first time, there was a flicker of fear in his eyes.
I smirked, stepping back from him. Turning toward the door, I added, "Let's see how powerful you are without your magic. In the dungeon, there won't be any air or moonlight to fuel your strength. Let's see how long you last."
As I moved toward the door, Raven stood and called out, "You can cage me, Alpha, but you can't change your fate.
His words made me pause mid-step. Slowly, I turned back to him, my brow furrowed, "Oh, is that so? I've heard you're some sort of fortune teller. Tell me, then-why didn't you warn the royal family of their defeat, Raven? Or were you too busy hiding behind your magic?"
Raven met my gaze with a calm intensity and replied, "I'm not a fortune teller. But sometimes, I see glimpses of the past...and the future. For example, I see the claw marks on your back."

I frowned, confused. I turned to Finn and asked through our mind link, "Can you see any marks through my shirt?"
Finn shook his head, confirming he couldn't.
I laughed, turning back to Raven. "What? Don't tell me you have the power to see people naked now." The comment was meant as a joke, but Raven didn't react. Instead, he stared at me blankly, as if taking my words seriously. That only deepened my curiosity. How could he see the wounds on my body that were hidden beneath my shirt?
"I can see people's wounds," Raven said calmly. "And I can heal them, too. If you'll allow me..."
He lifted his hand, the lines on his palm glowing a dark red. His voice was steady as he continued, "If you want, I can heal the wound on your chest."
Before he could act, my voice lashed out like a whip. "Don't."
Hearing my refusal, he lowered his hand and clenched it into a fist.
"Very well," Raven said, his tone calm as always. "But know this-every mark on your body can be healed, except the ones on your chest. Do you know why? Because those wounds are not physical. They nearly pierced your heart, and they are the wounds of your soul."
I tightened my fists, his words striking a nerve. I didn't believe for a second that Selene had meant to kill me. No, that wasn't it. She didn't care whether I lived or died-that was the truth of it. And that was why she deserved every ounce of what she was going through now.
Seeing me lost in thought, Raven smiled faintly. "Alpha, you already have the power to heal yourself. Perhaps you're choosing not to because these wounds remind you of the person who caused them.'
I turned my gaze away from him, my voice curt. "I don't owe you any explanations."
I made my way toward the door, ready to leave, but his next words stopped me in my tracks.
"You already know you love her, Alpha. How much longer will you keep lying to yourself? One day, you'll bow to her-not because of her strength, but because of your broken heart."
