Lorcan clenched his fists and his eyes narrowed together in anger. He thought he had already explained everything to them. Didn’t they just agree with everything that he had said? Then why are they forcing him to claim Raven as his mate again?“Don’t be angry at us, Lorcan. Don’t blame us for the mistake that Celia did. She is the one who brought this problem to us, remember? Not only did she try to harm Raven who had done nothing wrong to her, but she also ruined our pack’s reputation and our relations with the other pack as well,” Luna Savina gritted her teeth as she controlled her anger. Lorcan lowered his head unable to say anything. His mother is right, he has no right to be angry towards his parents. It was Celia who started all of this and caused all of their problems. And because of that, it’s also only right that he should solve the problems that Celia had caused. “That woman had brought us so much trouble in a single night. I couldn’t really see why you fell in love with
Lorcan’s eyes widened when he heard his father’s words. He wasn’t expecting that his father would call for Raven to come to his office right now.Lorcan opened his mouth, about to object to his father’s words, but before a single word could even escape his lips, Alpha Axel had already made his move not allowing to give his son a chance to speak for himself. Alpha Axel stared at his son, waiting for him to say something, but Lorcan was only left speechless as he watched the pack guard fled to obey his father’s orders. Alpha Axel stared at his son with meaning in his eyes. He knew his son was going to stop him, that’s why he acted quickly before his son could stop him.Lorcan pursed his lips before turning his attention back to his parents. He only said those things as an excuse so that his parents would let him go. He wasn’t expecting that they would call for Raven instead. Lorcan was just hoping that he could buy himself more time and think for a better solution so he wouldn’t have
Lorcan couldn’t believe his ears when he heard Raven’s answers. He wasn’t expecting that Raven would make that choice. He thought Raven doesn’t have any feelings for him. He thought Raven just felt forced to be with him because of the mate bond. Raven had once made it clear to him that she did not want anything to do with Lorcan. In fact, that is also the same reason that she gave to prove to him that she had no motive for hurting Celia. However, if her words were really true, why would she chose to be claimed instead of just letting Celia receive all the hate that she technically deserves?Raven couldn’t bring herself to raise her head and look at Lorcan after giving her answer. Even so, she did not have to look at Lorcan to know his reaction. She could already feel the emotions going on inside Lorcan through their mate bond and it only made Raven feel more bad that she could not even bring herself to take a peek at him. “Yes! It’s my thoughts exactly!” Luna Savina beamed when s
Raven looked solemn when she left Alpha Axel’s room. She wasn’t even able to take a breathe of air when Lorcan suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her across the hallway. “L-Lorcan,” Raven gasped in surprise as she tries to match Lorcan’s speed. Raven is still not fully healed yet and she shouldn’t even be moving much. However, if she wouldn’t fasten her pace, she would stumble and she doubts that Lorcan would even help her get up. “O-Ouch! Lorcan let me go, you’re hurting me,” Raven winced as her face scrunched up in pain. She could feel a bruise forming on her hand because of Lorcan’s tight hold. Her hand is also starting to feel numb because Lorcan is blocking her blood flow.Raven’s pleading voice fell into deaf ears as Lorcan did not bother to slow down or loosen his grip on her. He continued moving forward in silent angry steps without bothering to glance at Raven. It did not matter too him that Raven is sick. He is so mad that he couldn’t contain his anger. “O-Ow!” Raven
Lorcan stared at the two duffel bags that are sitting on top of his bed. Just earlier, Lorcan packed two bags; one for him and then one for Celia. He had packed some set of clothes, money, and some food that can last them for a week. Lorcan has finally decided to leave the pack with Celia. He should have done this a long time ago, he didn’t know what came to him that he had waited for this long before finally mustering up the courage to leave everything behind so he could finally become happy with Celia. Tonight, Lorcan is going to correct all that mistake before tings could go for the worst for the two of them. A knock on the door of Lorcan’s bedroom interrupted his thoughts. He instantly stood up and hurried to the door when the person that he is waiting for had finally arrived. “Sir Lorcan,” a timid man that is wearing a pack guard uniform spoke as soon as Lorcan had opened the door.When Lorcan had confirmed the person knocking on his door, he opened his door wide and grabbed
Raven said nothing when Lorcan is still trying to deny Raven’s accusations even though she already caught him in the act. Raven knew in herself that he is going to deny all her words because that’s just how he is.However, he wasn’t expecting Sebastian to be right about telling her that she would catch him here.Lorcan is a man of his words. Well, that is how Raven knows him. He is a person who is accountable with his words and actions and is not a type of person who would run away from anything.Raven and Lorcan just had a nice talk together. He also had everything settled with his parents already.He has agreed to claim Raven and proceed with the claiming ceremony. Although everyone knows that Lorcan is just forced to go with the claiming ceremony, Raven was not expecting that he would escape from that responsibility as an Alpha.Raven is not supposed to be here tonight. She had no plans of going to the dungeon and getting anywhere near Celia, but Sebastian had warned her that somet
Lorcan couldn’t speak. His eyes are wide in fear when the evidence that he has been asking for is already in front of his eyes, within the hands of Raven. Lorcan looked at his friend whom he tasked to carry their packed things and meet them at the pack borders. Lorcan trusted him with a simple job. How did he allow himself to get caught?Lorcan couldn’t say a thing as the two pack guards who caught his friend dropped his duffel bags on the floor and opened it up. They dropped all the contents on the floor revealing Lorcan and Celia’s clothes, and some items that you pack for an escape. Lorcan couldn’t say anything what Raven had is solid evidence and there is nothing he could say to explain it. It’s obvious that those things belong to Lorcan and Celia. Of all people, Raven will know the clothes that they own. Lorcan stared at his friend who is kneeling weakly on the floor. He couldn’t lift his head and bring himself to look at Lorcan. He felt useless and bad for getting caught an
Raven stayed mostly in her room since the incident where she was attacked by Alpha Grant who acted through Celia’s evil plan. Raven is still fairly weak since she had to recover without the help of her wolf. Until now, she still hadn’t shifted yet and heard from her wolf since Lorcan’s failed rejection. Raven is getting nervous for not seeing her wolf for a long time, but she could still feel that Ember is still alive within her. She’s alive, but just too weak to be in contact with her. Raven is having her small breakfast at the open balcony so that her skin could at least absorb some fresh sunlight. As much as possible, Raven is tryiing to get out of her room more for a change of scenery. Seeing the small daffodils outside, breathing in the fresh breeze and having the clear sky above her is a scenery that would surely uplift her health.Raven stopped stirring her coffee when she felt a pack guard come up behind her. She placed the little spoon on the table and glanced behind by l
“Luna we found them!” Raven stood up abruptly while Luna Savina cried out in relief when they finally received the report that they have been waiting to hear. After Raven killed the others and brought Celia to the dungeon for her punishment. She commanded all her scouts and the Pack Warriors to search for Lorcan and Ruston. Raven had no idea how it happened, but Lorcan miraculously happened to survive. She’s just not sure if Ruston also did. Raven knew Lorcan was still alive because her connection with Lorcan was still there, it did not leave her. If Lorcan was dead, she would have felt her bond with him snap. Raven rushes to the place where Ruston and Lorcan are taken for recovery. Tears filled her eyes when she saw Lorcan lying unconscious on the bed with blood, wounds, and bruises all over his body. “Where is Ruston?” Raven asked when she finally saw Lorcan, but couldn’t find her son around. Fear gripped her heart, thinking if Lorcan had failed to save their son if her son’s
“A Lunarborn, I never thought I would ever see a Lunarborn in the flesh,” A man spoke not far from them, stealing Raven’s attention.“It’s true what they said then. The Nightshade Pack was attacked by rogues because they are looking for the Lunarborn wolf,” Declan added as he came forward with his daughter beside him and an unknown man behind them. Raven smirked. It’s better that they are now all here, so she can end them once and for all. She is going to avenge Lorcan and her son right there and then.“They say a drop of blood of Lunarborn is enough to strengthen a weak werewolf. I wonder if that is true,” Declan spoke with excitement as evil thoughts filled his head. The reason why Declan and Celia get along with each other is because they share a similarity. Both of them are greedy for wealth and power. They would stop at nothing to reach their high and impossible ambitions. Declan looked like he had won a jackpot as he stared at Raven. In his head, he is already imagining drink
Lorcan and Raven rode a car to reach the pack borders much faster. Deafening silence filled the whole car, as Lorcan and Raven didn’t say a word to each other even though they share the same goal and they are helping each other to look for their son and rescue him before anything bad could happen to him. Lorcan’s heart is filled with guilt as he blames himself for everything. Meanwhile, Raven couldn’t forget Lorcan’s words during the conversation he had with Luna Savina. Lorcan’s face is cold and indifferent as he steps out of the car when they finally arrive at the very edge of the forest. Lorcan clenched his fists, his body tense with determination. He is going to protect his son at all costs. He will never be able to forgive himself if something bad happens to his son. Rescuing his son and making sure that he is safe is the only good thing he could do for his family. He would never let down Raven ever again. Lorcan and Raven shifted to their wolves along with the others who w
Lorcan’s heart sank as the truth unraveled before him. As his son spoke everything he knew with tears and a scared look in his eyes, Lorcan felt stupid for failing to see through Celia’s fake appearances and see through her deception and lies. A whirlwind of emotions swept through Lorcan’s being, and slowly a storm raged within him as he grappled with the truth that shattered the foundation of trust he had built with Celia. Lorcan couldn’t speak. Even though he was also a victim of Celia’s schemes, he still couldn’t help but feel that he was partly responsible for failing to recognize Celia’s deceptive lies. Lorcan should have known that there was nothing good about Celia when he found out how she pretended to be sick and sucked the blood out of Raven for revenge. He should have left her then and there. If Celia could play such a magnanimous lie, then it means she is someone who can’t be trusted. Luna Savina held her head weakly after Selwyn finished his story. She looked so pale
Raven pressed her lips together when she heard Lorcan’s confession. Her hand involuntarily reached to her aching chest as tears welled out of her eyes.She had no idea… She had no idea that Lorcan has been feeling this way towards her. All her life, she thought Lorcan never felt any genuine feelings towards her. She thought he was only forced to love her and be with her because of the mate bond. Now that she heard the truth, she realized how blind she has been to fail to see his unspoken feelings. She realized how stupid she has been to believe other people’s lies other than the genuine feelings and actions that Lorcan had shown her. Luna Savina scoffed mockingly when she heard Lorcan’s reply. “Are you saying that you realized you love her because of the mate bond?” Luna Savina questioned him. Luna Savina knows that Raven had already heard the truth she needed to hear. There was no more need for Luna Savina to keep up the act and probe her son even further. Still, she decided to ge
Lorcan sauntered into Elder Luna Savina’s room with a worried expression on his face. Different thoughts entered his head as he thought of many reasons as to why his mother would call for her. “Mother, you called for me,” Lorcan spoke respectfully to her mother who was lying on her bed when he entered.Luna Savina smiled when she saw her son walk in. Lorcan smiled back when he saw the positive expression on her face. Luna Savina never like it when someone interrupts her sleep and visits her room. She gets angry instantly whenever someone enters her room, but this time it’s completely different. It was she who invited him to come visit her. Her face even brightened when she saw her son enter.Lorcan rushed to her mother’s side to help her when she tried to force herself up. He placed a guiding hand behind her back to lift her up. “Is everything alright?” Lorcan asked her in a soft whisper.Lorcan’s eyes discreetly searched around, hoping to see Raven. The omega told her that Raven w
Raven haven’t said a word ever since she jumped in and stopped Kissa from confessing everything. A heavy weight rested upon her heart, but she tried her best to ignore it. Raven felt selfish and inconsiderate for still wanting the truth to come out at the expense of harming Luna Savina’s health. It’s natural for her to desire justice, and to have it as soon as possible after she had waited for five years, but if she wants justice, she should have it without causing harm to anyone else. Since Luna Savina is not in good health, she should think of something else. Although it would have been better and more convenient if only Luna Savina was in good health. Raven sat carefully on the bed beside Luna Savina while Kissa handed her a plate of freshly sliced fruits ensuring that it didn’t contain any poison. Luna Savina doesn’t have any appetite. She still feels full from the bowl of porridge that she emptied early this morning. Still, Raven insisted that she eat something and in the end
“Luna Savina,” Raven barged into Luna Savina’s room with Kissa chasing after her. After Raven heard all the secrets that Celia had, and all the evil tricks that she had played, she rushed directly to Luna Savina’s room since she was the person that is in the most danger right now. “Raven,” Luna Savina smiled at her. “You came right in time.”Raven ignored her words. She rushed towards her and knelt right in front of her. “Luna, are you okay? Do you feel hurt anywhere?” Raven asked her with brows creased together. She touched her forehead to check her temperature and placed two fingers on Luna Savina’s wrist to check her overall health. “What’s wrong, Raven?” Luna Savina asked her softly with how she was fussing over her. She couldn’t help but feel worried about her instead because of how concerned she was with her. Raven didn’t reply. She listened closely to Luna Savina’s pulse and checked her vitality. “I’m not going to recover after just one meal, Raven. You will need to take
Celia paused as she think of a way to keep Lorcan from being alone with the twins. She glanced up at Lorcan as she prepared for a reason that she was going to say. The twins stared at Celia already expecting that she was going to say something against that. They crossed their fingers as they hoped that their father wouldn’t play along with her tricks.“There’s actually something that I need help with. It’s about work, can you do it for me?” Celia leaned towards Lorcan as she asked him kindly, hoping that he would agree to help her.The twins glanced at their father simultaneously waiting for his answer. Lorcan slowly lifted his head back up to face Celia. “I canceled all my work today, Celia. I already scheduled the whole day for my sons. Can’t this wait tomorrow?” Lorcan asks her back, turning her down respectfully. Celia fell speechless. Lorcan never turns down work. Even when he is busy, he always prioritizes the Pack and their work. His sons must be so important to him that he
