While Lorcan is trying to figure out what it is, Raven takes too long to respond. She is busy putting her folded clothes carefully inside the cabinet. Her back is turned on Lorcan, which is why she has no idea of what he’s talking about. Meanwhile, Lorcan is flipping the garment around, figuring out what exactly it is. When he had finally figured it out, his cheeks turned bright red, and his heart race quickened. Why did it take too long for him to understand what it was? He had already touched every part of the fabric when he realized what it was. It’s no wonder why he thought this attire was not meant to cover up anything. Lorcan swallowed hard. He doesn’t know what to do with it. He doesn’t know if he should put back the garment and pretend he did not see anything or if he should pretend that he still had no idea that he was holding Raven’s lingerie. He doesn’t know which would be less embarrassing for Raven and less humiliating for him. Raven’s eyes widened in horror when they
Kissa’s body quivered as she gingerly took a step outside Celia’s room. When she had finally closed the door to Celia’s room, her knees wobbled weakly, causing her to grasp onto the wall for support to keep her balance. Kissa’s heart raced, pounding against her chest like a trapped bird seeking escape. She looked like a fragile porcelain doll as she stood in front of Celia’s door, pale with fright. The things she had just talked with Celia inside her room was a chilling revelation. She is troubled with holding the knowledge to Celia’s secrets and plans, especially her sinister plot to harm Raven. Kissa felt suffocated as fear and guilt gnawed on her. She doesn’t want any harm to happen to Raven, she is filled with the urge to protect her and stop Celia from accomplishing her devious plans, but she’s too weak to do anything helpful. Celia is still their Beta’s sister, and she is just a weak omega where if it wasn’t for Raven, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to work in the packhou
Lorcan thought that Raven was still asleep in the passenger seat when they arrived at the packhouse. He had no idea that he had woken her up when he stepped out of the car. Raven has been secretly listening to his conversation with Jericho the whole time. If Lorcan had only known that Raven was listening, he wouldn’t have brought up the topic about Celia. Lorcan was only worried about Celia as Jericho’s sister, and as the member of the Pack. All the feelings that he had for her before are already gone. During their vacation, there were still times when Celia crossed his mind. He only thought about her because he is worried about her as a person who used to be so close with her before. Just because he had already let go of his feelings towards her, it doesn’t mean that he had already stopped caring about her. It’s only normal for him to worry, knowing that Celia is only relying on Raven’s blood to live. Anything bad could happen to her while he and Raven are having fun in their trip
Raven was confused when she found her room empty. “Where are my things?” she asked Kissa who is with her. Her bedroom has nothing in it except for the bed and the other furnitures. The rest of her things are gone. “Lorcan haven’t told you about it yet?” Kissa asked her, in surprise. She thought she already knew. “Lorcan told me nothing,” Raven replied as she opened the cabinets, which only confirmed that even her clothes are also moved out of her room.“Lorcan told us to move your things to his bedroom. He said you are moving in with him so we hurriedly transferred your things there before you both arrived from your vacation,” Kissa explained to her.Raven fought back her smile as a faint warmth spread across her cheeks. Raven didn’t know that Lorcan had already done that in advance. Raven and Lorcan had shared the same bed together, and had slept together until the last night of their vacation. She thought that things would come back to normal once again when they returned home,
For the first time, Lorcan was there to support Raven as she donates her blood for Celia. Raven couldn’t help but laugh at Lorcan’s exaggerated reaction at times, especially the look on his face as he watched how the Pack Doctor inserted the needle underneath Raven’s skin to draw her blood. He was the one wincing in pain, not Raven. Raven couldn’t believe that he is the same man who fought Declan, Stacy’s father and received so many injuries in that fight before.At that time, he didn’t even winced at his injuries. He looked even unbothered with the tapestry of wounds that covered his body. That pain that he was in was nothing compared to this, yet his face contorted in pain as if the needle pierced his skin and not Raven’s“Are you okay?” Lorcan asks her for the umpteenth time already. He is so worried about Raven as if she’s going to undergo a serious injury. “I’m fine, Lorcan,” Raven gave him the same answer once again, but annoyed this time. She’s not even sure if Lorcan shoul
“Furball! Furball!” Raven screamed, her voice resounding inside the packhouse. She is the only one who had the guts yell out loud inside the packhouse. The pack omegas were all startled to hear her loud voice.They stopped what they were doing as they looked at each other with wild gazes as they wondered what their Luna is screaming about. Lorcan shut his eyes tight and rubbed his face in annoyance when he heard Raven yelling for him using his most embarrassing pet name. His secret nickname is already out. “What is it moonpie?!” Lorcan yelled back out loud after he walked out of his office. All the omegas who heard their Alpha’s reply were frozen in shock. Did their Luna just call their Alpha, furball???” They couldn’t believe what they just heard. They didn’t expect their Alpha to have such an embarassing pet name from the Luna. Lorcan felt embarassed when he saw all the stunned omegas. They openly stared at Lorcan with cleaning tools on their hand. They were so surprised that
Raven is silent as she watched her blood flowing through the tube and filling the blood bag as she softly squeezes the stress ball in her hand. She is spacing out without having anything specific to think about in her mind. For the first time, Lorcan is not here to keep her company. He is busy having a conversation with his father, and Raven doesn’t want to interrupt their important conversation just to call Lorcan and ask him to come here with her. Lorcan and his father had a lot of things to catch up. Besides, Raven can do this by herself. She used to have her blood drawn by herself alone. Raven let out a huge breath, the silence is deafening that it made her feel uncomfortable. Raven couldn’t help but tilt her head and look at the empty chair across her where Lorcan used to sit and just watch over her. She smiled by herself as she remembered Lorcan’s funny reactions and his constant pestering whenever he comes here with her. Lorcan was talking nonstop whenever he comes here w
Celia groaned and stretched her limbs on the bed as soon as unwanted guests had left the room. “What took you so long?” Celia grumbled as the Pack Doctor walked to her side and replaced the empty fake blood bag, with a new fake one. The Pack Doctor is also the same person who invented the fake blood bag to make Celia’s act look more convincing. Using starblooms, a small mushroom like plant that grows in the forests near Packs, he discovered that he could use it to make a convincing fake blood. He just had to dye the yellow plant red and mix it with some liquid, and it already looks like a blood. The interesting thing about starblooms is, once it is contaminated or tamper with, it slowly evaporates and disappears. So even though the starbloom liquid is not connected to Celia’s veins, it evaporates by itself making it appear like Celia’s body had absorbed it. Celia sighed when the Pack Doctor did not answer her and just continued with his job. “It’s so tiring to pretend to be as
“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
