Raven’s hand floated in midair when she heard Stacy’s words. This is what exactly she was afraid of. This is the reason why she was so nervous to meet the pack members. She was afraid that someone would bring out this issue and turn the crowd against her. Raven lowered her head and averted her gaze from Stacy when she started to feel the familiar gazes of disdain coming from the crowd. A slight chill rolled down her body as she felt unwelcome and hated by all the Pack members once again. It was the feeling she thought she wouldn’t have to feel again. Raven used to think that becoming the Pack’s Luna would resolve everything. She thought that once she becomes the Luna, the people would finally treat her with respect. She thought the people would finally forget the past and honor her as their Luna. However, she clearly made a wrong judgment of the situation.It seems that the people would never forget. Even if she became the Luna of their Pack, they wouldn’t treat her with respect b
Stacy’s lips curled and her face flushed red in embarrassment when Jericho had successfully rebuked her words making Stacy look like a fool in front of everybody. Stacy couldn’t help but look around her to check everybody’s reaction. She couldn’t help but feel conscious of their opinion of her especially when she saw that all their heads were downcast like they were all now starting to consider Jericho’s words. Jericho’s words made sense, when he was able to defeat Stacy’s argument, the people are now finally starting to doubt the things they believed about Raven. Stacy gritted her teeth after being defeated in her argument. “Whatever!” Stacy yelled back rowdily when she finally thought of comeback after a minor setback. “Whatever the truth was, Raven is still a murderer. If it wasn’t for her, Celia wouldn’t kill herself. A murderer shouldn’t be allowed to rule a pack, she should be placed on exile like all the other murderers!”Some of the people nodded their head as they agreed
Stacy’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she heard what Lorcan had commanded her to do. There’s no way she would apologize to Raven, ever. Over her dead body! Stacy had always looked down on Raven before. She perceives her as a she-wolf as weak as an omega who didn’t happen to have that title. There’s no way that Celia would bow herself to someone like her just because she is now the Pack’s Luna.Becoming a Luna will never change where she came from, and it will never be able to cover up for her weak roots.As a person born with Gamma genes, she won’t ask for forgiveness from someone who is way below her status. “Apologize to her, or we will meet on Trial,” Lorcan added to make Stacy realize that this is a non-negotiable matter. He wouldn’t let her go unless he heard her sincere apology. Stacy’s lips bobbed up and down like a fish, not knowing what she should tell Lorcan. With Lorcan’s furious gaze pointed down at her, she couldn’t dare go against his commands and argu
Gamma Declan looked so pissed as he stared at Lorcan with his silent, deadly gaze. Still, Lorcan held his calm and stoic demeanor even though Gamma Declan was staring right into his eyes, which meant a challenge to werewolves. Raven instinctively took a step forward, but she stopped when she realized what she was doing. She stared at Gamma Declan and then Lorcan back and forth, feeling the chilling tension arising between them. Raven held her breath and kept her hands to herself. Even if she steps in, she wouldn’t be much help. She would only be jumping in danger by intervening between them. Jericho shifted his jaw as he waited in silence. He doesn’t dare to make a move, but if one of them starts to pounce at the other, he will step in and end this before it turns into an ugly fight. It wouldn’t be suitable for the pack members to see their pack leaders, who should help each other, fighting in front of them. Jericho held himself back even though he wanted to join his Alpha. Decla
“What was wrong with you, Alpha?!” Jericho exclaimed and pushed Lorcan to the side when they were finally out of the public’s eye. Jericho pushed Lorcan to the wall by placing his arm on his chest to corner him. Lorcan did not budge; he calmly welcomed Jericho’s livid expression, willing to listen to what he had to say. Jericho felt even more angry when he received that calm, unbothered expression on Lorcan’s face. He badly wanted to punch him, hoping that he could wake some senses on him. How could he be so relaxed after using the Alpha title to bet on a fighting match?Jericho would have understood if Lorcan was going to fight someone in his match, but this is Gamma Declan that they are talking about. Everyone knows how powerful he is; they all know the rogues he has defeated in battles before. How could Lorcan be so reckless to give him the Alpha title if he wins against him?“You did not have to fight him. With the crimes that he had done, he deserved to be banished from the Pac
Lorcan's world was turned upside down when Jericho's words hit him like a ton of bricks. It was the first time in a long while that he had truly listened and understood the pain he had caused others. The realization of his mistakes was suffocating him, and he felt the weight of his guilt on his shoulders.It finally dawned on Lorcan that everything that had gone wrong was due to his own foolishness and selfishness. He had ruined everything, and his actions had caused harm to Celia. Fighting for a relationship that was inherently wrong was his biggest mistake. If only he had ended things with Celia when he found out that she wasn't his mate.It was clear to Lorcan now that the two of them were never meant to be together. By continuing their forbidden relationship, they were just going to hurt themselves and the people around them even more. Lorcan had been naive to think that love was just love. His old definition of love was shattered because true love should never harm others.The co
Every muscle in Raven’s body was coiled tight as she watched Lorcan and Declan exchange blows against one another. Lorcan is surprisingly fast, evading most of Declan’s blows. Still, with Declan’s experience in close combat, he is fast in thinking of strategies to fool Lorcan and land a serious attack on him. The crowd was silent; their teeth were gnashed together, and their eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets. The fight is fast and intense. They had been expecting an interesting show but did not expect the two opponents to have too much energy. If you blink, you’ll miss the fight. Raven’s eyes narrowed, and her breath hitched when Declan bit Lorcan’s shoulder in his wolf form, putting him out of his balance and making them fall badly on the ground. Lorcan is still in his human form, shifting quickly only when needed. Being in his human form gives him an advantage to evade Declan’s attacks in wolf form. Raven’s breath was quick and shallow when Declan had Lorcan pinned to
Lorcan sat on a wooden stool, his torso bare, revealing wounds that ran deep and jagged. Each gash and scratch looked like an emblem of his bravery after a glorious fight. His face was stoic as if he had numbed himself to the pain. Jericho stood before him, silently staring at the injuries that covered Lorcan's body. He winced, imagining the pain that must be coursing through his veins. Despite the agony, Lorcan remained calm and serene, his eyes shut as if he were in deep meditation. Jericho took a deep breath, holding back the urge to say what he was thinking. He is still mad at him for accepting Declan’s challenge and putting the Alpha title on the line. Lorcan did not have to fight Declan, but he still did. He caused this agony to himself. Jericho did not bother to break Lorcan’s peace, though. What matters is that he won the fight, and Declan did not become the Pack’s Alpha.Lorcan had no idea how much stress he had put on his Beta. He nearly joined the fight to cheat it. He h
“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
