Raven walked down the corridor heading for his room, his mind was occupied by the happenings around them. He wondered if the world would have been like this had he met her or been mated to her. The single thought of not meeting made his heart squeeze.
But he did not push aside the thought things would have been different. She would have been happy, probably married to a human, and wouldn't have had to go through what she was experiencing now. He got to his room and stopped to listen if she was inside. The Sound of a slow but steady heartbeat was all that he needs to turn the doorknob and proceed to enter the room.
He found her lying on the bed while staring at the ceiling. Her beautiful face had lost its sincere and innocent shine and her smile was replaced with caution and fear for the uncertain and unknown.
