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
