Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Raven

As I flew to the spot where all of this began, I couldn’t help but be consumed by a feeling of dread. Evanora cast a temporary spell on me, giving me the strength to lift both her and Carl as I flew. We go straight to the main house, assuming Rick and my father will be there.

As we approach, we are greeted by what looks like a cavalry. Pack members and my father’s soldiers are lined up, poised for battle. As soon as Rick has a clear view of us, I hear him yell at everyone to stand down. I gently lower Evanora and Carl as Rick rushes over, remorse in his expression.

“I’m sorry,” we both say at the same time and then talk over each other accidentally.

“I should have listened-”

“I didn’t mean to give you-”

We both stop talking as Rick caresses my cheek and I give him a smile.

“I’m sorry, Raven. I should have listened to you and not been so stubborn,” he says quietly.
