“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
A month later…Raven raised her lazy eyes from the scattered papers lying on her desk when someone entered her office. When she saw that it was Jericho, she straightened on her seat and gave him her full attention. Whatever Beta Beta Jericho has to say must be so important for him to personally visit Raven’s office. In the past few weeks that she and Beta Jericho were working together, Raven couldn’t help but notice that Beta Jericho is secretly trying to avoid her. He only talks to her when it is absolutely needed. It was obvious that Beta Jericho still has some hard feelings towards Raven. So apart from pack matters, they never talked about anything else. Raven couldn’t understand why Beta Jericho has not yet forgiven her when she is the reason why his sister is still alive. Without her blood, Celia wouldn’t even last for a second. Above all, she couldn’t see why Beta Jericho hates her in the first place. Still, Raven couldn’t make herself be mad at Beta Jericho for hating her
Raven kept her fingers crossed as she told Sebastian about the calamity that their Pack is facing. She told him about the unexpected Winter and explained how they needed food right now. Although they could always hunt for food, they still needed grains, fruits and vegetables especially to keep the young pups of their pack healthy. Aside from that they also need herbs for the sick members of their Pack. Their stock herbs are also running low too. With the cold weather, a lot of pack members are getting sick since they are not used to the extreme cold. They can’t live by just relying on hunted meat. Since it’s winter, they have no crops to harvest and they can’t forage for herbs, fruits and vegetables. Raven needed someone else who would supply their needs. “I know it’s too much to ask, Sebastian,” Raven spoke with great shame. “Any kind of help will do as long as I can find a way to increase our food’s supply.”Raven hasn’t even finished talking yet, but Sebastian had already summo
