“M-Miss Raven,” Beta Colton’s eyes were wide with surprise when he saw Raven standing and waiting at his front door.Beta Colton couldn’t believe it when one of his omegas told him that Raven is knocking on his door. Beta Colton was not expecting any guests tonight so he had one of his omegas to check who was it. When the omega told him that their guest was Raven, he immediately thought that their omega might be mistaken. There’s no way that Raven would visit them. She probably hates them right now and would not want anything to do with Celia. Why on earth would Raven visit them at night?Beta Colton couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that Raven is actually standing right in front of him. “Beta Colton, I’m sorry for not informing you first of my visit,” Raven apologized respectfully. “N-No not at all,” Beta Colton stuttered affter his mind went blank for a minute there. Without letting Raven wait anymore, he opened his door wider to let Raven in. “Come inside. Celia is alrea
“Celia, how could you say those words,” Raven replied not believing how heartless her once best friend is. Raven came here to speak with Celia to hopefully gain closure for both of them, but she had no idea that she would confess to such a heartless truth about her.Raven stared at Celia like she was trying to familiarize herself with a stranger. The person in front of her completely looked like her best friend with her blonde hair and baby blue eyes. However, she felt like a completely different person.Raven doesn’t know who the person in front of her is anymore. “Raven, don’t you get it? I never loved Lorcan. I only diid all those things to become the Pack’s Luna. All I cared about was becoming the Luna,”Raven’s whole body tensed and her mind went blank for a moment. The Celia that she knew would never play with someone else’s feelings. She would never use someone for her own benefit. Her best friend is so kind and humble that she would never covet the Luna title. Who then is
“Miss Raven, Sir Lorcan has started to eat now. Last night, he ate all his meal and he has been drinking his water ever since,” a pack guard informed Raven whom she had assigned to check on Lorcan.A heavy weight was lifted off Raven’s shoulders when she heard this. A lot of thoughts has been running in her mind lately. At least now, Lorcan is finally out of her worries. Yesterday after Celia’s trial, Raven ordered a pack guard to tell Lorcan about everything that had happened in the trial.Raven wanted to visit Lorcan and see how he is doing with her own eyes. She was hoping to use the trial as an excuse to see him. However, in the end she thought it would be better if he hears the news from a pack guard so that he wouldn’t have to see her face. With everything that had happened, Raven is sure that Lorcan still hates her. Saving Celia’s life and giving her a safe life after everything she did against her won’t do any difference. After all, that is not what Lorcan wanted. He wante
THE DAY OF THE CLAIMING CEREMONY…A lot of things happened that lead to this day. Raven thought this is the happy ending that she’s been waiting for.She thought the claiming ceremony would be the answer to her problems, the shift to her new life and everything will be merry since then.In the books that she read, the main characters lived a hard life from the start, but the stories always end with a happy ending for them when they marry the person that was meant for them.Marriage is all it took to turn their life around, and for Raven she thought that her life wouldn’t be any different from that. She thought that the claiming ceremony and becoming the Pack’s Luna is all it’s going to take to turn her own life around.“All rise,” Raven spoke in her Luna voice.She had just gained newfound power after Lorcan had marked her. Now that she had become the Pack’s Luna, she became ten times more powerful than before, turning her into the most powerful she wolf of their Pack. Raven smiled.
Because of what had happened, Raven had to end the ceremony early. She allowed the guests to leave so that she wouldn’t have to hear more hurtful words that they had to say. They all speak like Raven had actually murdered Celia when it was Celia who chose to kill herself.They were all blaming Celia’s death to her when she chose to let Celia live when she was supposed to die for the serious crimes that she had committed against her.Raven couldn’t understand how the people could rush to such conclusions. They had already forgotten about anything else. In just one night, Raven turned out to be the villain again. “H-How is she?” Raven stood up when she saw Axel, Savina, Lorcan, and Jericho along with Beta Colton who is carrying Celia’s lifeless body.Raven stared at Celia who looked so pale. Her body looked lifeless on her father’s arms. She searched for injuries, signs that she committed sucide but there was none.Raven has been waiting at the pack house’s entrance for them to arriv
Raven blinked and took a step back when all of the people inside the room turned their eyes on her. Raven tightly clenched the skirt of her white dress as her heart beated rapidly inside her chest. She tried to avoid making any eye contact with them as they stared at her with expectant gazes. Beta Colton slowly calmed down when he found out that there is still a way to save her daughter. He unclenches the collar of the pack doctor and dropped him to the ground. “What do you mean?” Alpha Axel was the first one who spoke and broke the silence. “How can the Luna’s blood save Celia?”The pack doctor who blurted out the solution to save Celia’s life stared at Alpha Axel with wide eyes and almost looked like he would piss in fear. He has been afraid ever since he had entered the room. This is the first time he has been with so many powerful and deadly people in one small enclosed space. When he saw Beta Colton hold one of his colleagues by the collar, he was instantly frightened for his
Jericho clenched his jaw as he stared at Lorcan and her sister’s hand clasped together. He wanted to rip their hands apart and drag Lorcan out of the room. Jericho thinks that Lorcan doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near his sister after everything that he had done. Lorcan wasn’t even there during his sister’s trial. He promised him that he would only have his sister as his only mate and Luna, yet he had marked Raven in front pf everyone and chose her as his Luna. He is the reason why Celia killed herself. He shouldn’t have courted her and made her fall in love with him if he is not going to choose her in the end. He should have broke up with her properly before things turned as serious as this. It was Lorcan and Raven who drove his sister to suicide, and he hated it that this man is here like he actually cared and he loathed it that his sister had to rely on Raven’s blood to live. If Celia is awake right now, she wouldn’t like this situation either. However, Jericho would rather le
The pack has never been the same ever since Celia was brought to the packhouse for recovery. Everything started to revolve around Celia, everyone could not stop thinking and worrying about Celia. They are all anxious in waiting for her to wake up. Axel and Savina never missed Celia a day of visit. Every morning and every evening, they would enter Celia’s room to check on her and her family. Just like everybody else, the two of them also secretly felt guilty for what Celia had done to herself. Just like the rest of them, they also believed that they were the ones who pushed Celia to make such a decision. If only they had dealt with her in a more responsible way, then they would have persuaded her to leave Lorcan alone without breaking her to the point of making her think that it was better for her to die, than to continue to live. There were many ways that they could have handled the situation better. They couldn’t help but also blame themselves for what happened to Celia. Celia
“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
