Content Warning / Disclaimer: This story is intense and mature, featuring dark romance, danger, and raw emotional tension. While it explores mature themes, it does not contain sexual content. Not for the faint of heart. ⸻ A Note from the Author: This book was born on a sleepless night because I was bored, slightly caffeinated, and had way too many thoughts bouncing around my brain. It might not be perfect, but it's my chaotic little baby-crafted by me, fueled by imagination, and sprinkled with a tiny bit of help from ChatGPT (who I swear is mostly helpful... most of the time). Thank you for letting Raven crash into your world-she promises not to bite... too much.Complete

Dakini is a sixteen year old girl living in the town of Witherington; but her life is far from normal. Witherington is not your usual town - it's a town where the civilisation is made up of 99% werewolves; aside from Dakini and her mother. Or so the town and school believe. Enrolled in an all-werewolf school at the age of 14, Dakini has to deal with daily challenges ranging from being targeted by the school's top popular group to having to put up with a moody, introverted seventeen year old male who goes out of his way to annoy her and who has, apparently, killed a few werewolves and humans alike in his past due to his short temper. As well as these impossibly difficult social challenges, Dakini has the challenge of having to keep her eyes covered and out of anyone else's sight. Having been born with eyes that are supposed to come with a very powerful and dangerous curse, Dakini must keep her eyes hidden from the rest of the school to avoid discrimination, possible fear and isolation, as well as the government's threat to permanently "remove" any Black Eyed werewolves. So, when she is left with her back against the lockers, and her future hanging on by a piece of cloth; Dakini is forced to look towards one person to help her out and keep her secret... a secret.Complete
