Raven leaned in with a lazy smirk, her voice dripping with suggestive sweetness. “Baby,” she whispered against his lips, “shall we continue?”
As she spoke, her arms slipped easily around Cassian’s waist, and before he could answer, she was already pressing another kiss to his lips–slow, deep, and entirely unhurried.
Her hand trailed downward, fingers gliding along the curve of his waist, creeping toward dangerous territory with the casual precision of someone who knew exactly what she was doing.
Perched on Raven’s shoulder, Dominic stared wide–eyed at the unfolding scene.
His little paws shot up to cover his eyes reflexively–but a second later, he dropped them with a deadpan expression. Why was he covering his eyes?
They clearly didn’t care. And if these two could shamelessly make out in front of him, then he had no reason to act bashful.
In fact… a wicked thought flashed through his tiny fox brain.
Since Cassian had the gall to force him into becoming Raven’s “pet,” it was only fair to learn how to make Cassian feel the pain of betrayal. He would study. Observe.
And tonight–tonight he’d strip naked and crawl into Raven’s bed. Let Cassian taste heartbreak.
It was a flawless plan.
Or at least, it would’ve been… if not for what happened next.
Just as Dominic was about to mentally take notes on Raven’s increasingly lawless hand movements, the grand doors to the Archive Hall swung open with a thunderous crack.
There, framed in the doorway, sat Kurt in his wheelchair.
Behind him–dozens of students, all wide–eyed and curious.
Their gaze fell on the scene inside. On Cassian, pinned against the wall, lips red, shirt rumpled. On Raven, looking like she’d just finished a full–course meal–with dessert.
The crowd blinked.
“Wait,” someone finally whispered. “Why does it look like he’s the one being seduced?”
“This… is why they came here?” another murmured, scandalized.
Inside the hall, Raven exhaled through her nose and slowly pulled back from Cassian.
Her gaze lifted–cold, cutting, and brimming with barely restrained murder. The temperature in the room plummeted.
Once was bad enough. But twice?
Twice they had barged in and ruined her mood?
Even Cassian, who had been enjoying himself thoroughly just moments ago, felt the tension ripple through her body and wisely chose to stay very, very still.
Kurt caught the look in Raven’s eyes and cursed silently to himself. Shit. Not good.

Chapter 151
The students, sensing the suffocating pressure in the air, all took an instinctive step back. Their expressions twisted into sheer panic. No one had ever made them feel this kind of fear–not even the military officers who’d trained them.
Raven hadn’t moved yet, but it felt like a blade was already pressed to every single throat in the room.
Kurt, pale and sweating, quickly spoke up, words tumbling out in a rush. “It’s just–we, uh–we noticed five students vanished from this area. I was worried something had happened to you.”
Only then did Raven’s expression ease, if only slightly. She reached up, grasped Dominic by the scruff of his neck, and casually held him in midair.
“Where are the missing students?” she asked.
Everyone blinked. Was she seriously talking to… a fox?
Had she finally lost it?
Kurt frowned, and the students exchanged uneasy glances. ‘Did she think the fox could answer? What, was it some kind of demon beast? A spirit animal? It’s not like it could talk… right?‘
Dominic kicked his little legs as he dangled in the air, but when Raven’s cold gaze landed on him, he froze like a bug in a jar.
“They’re alive,” came his voice–rich, smooth, and very much telepathic, ringing directly in Raven’s mind. “Want me to bring them out?”
She gave a slight nod. “Mm.”
At her signal, a pulse of light shimmered across the top of the Archive Hall. A second later, footsteps echoed down the spiral staircase.
The students turned, stunned.
And then they saw them.
Four young men and one woman–slightly pale, clothes wrinkled, but very much alive–descended from above.
Gasps rippled through the group.
They turned back to Raven. Then to the fox in her hand. Then to Raven again.
That fox… didn’t just become a pet. It had achieved spiritual enlightenment.
