Raven never followed after Lorcan just as she had promised. Until now, she never made a single visit to Celia’s room after she learned the news that she’s already awake. Every day, Raven would force herself to get up and check on Celia, but every time she reaches the hall to Celia’s room, her feet would turn on its own and she would just find herself back from where she came from. She found herself unable to approach Celia, because of her buried hard feelings that she never recognized she had been holding from her before. Raven realized that she had never really faced her true feelings towards Celia before. She thought all the disappointments and all the wounds in her heart caused by Celia had already healed. She had no idea that all of it has always been in there, buried deep inside her heart. Raven never acknowledged those resentments and hard feelings that she has. She only pushed it aside by drowning herself in work and thinking of something else. These things never helped in
Lorcan missed Raven so so much. Just a day without seeing her face and hearing her voice kills him so much. With every passing second, all he could think about was Raven. He wondered how she was, he wondered if she had eaten, and most of all, he wondered if she was okay. Before, Lorcan’s thoughts would always run like this, but he only always had Celia in his thoughts. Now, he no longer thought about Celia. All that mattered to him was Raven. Lorcan yawned once again. He doesn’t know how many times he has yawned. His mind felt groggy because of a lack of sleep. Last night, he had difficulty sleeping because, for the first time since he shared the same bed with Raven, he had to sleep without Raven beside him. He couldn’t sleep with Raven’s close scent; it was her scent that calmed him down and lulled him to sleep. Lorcan just wants to leave Celia and rush to Raven’s side. However, he had no choice. Celia wants him here, and he can’t refuse. Celia’s father, Colton, begs him to do wh
Savina and Axel actually came to visit Celia with one purpose, and that is to tell her the truth. Savina thought that it would be better if they just told Celia everything instead of waiting for her to remember her memories. Wouldn’t it be better if Celia heard the truth from them instead of waiting for her to remember her memories and let her find out that they had been lying to her all along? Savina thought it would be unfair for Celia if they lied in front of her face and kept secrets from her. It’s no different from playing with her feelings, and she would only hate them later on once she finds out the truth. Besides, Savina and Axel couldn’t wait anymore. Who knows when will Celia remember all her lost memories? Savina is getting worried the longer his son stays with Celia. Ever since Celia woke up, Lorcan has never left Celia’s side. She also heard from her attendants that Lorcan did not sleep in his room last night. He slept with Celia. Raven must be feeling devastated and
Lorcan stood up straight when the door to Celia’s room opened. He approached his parents when they both came out of the door.“What was that about?” Lorcan asks them in a small whisper so Celia won’t hear them inside the room.Axel sighed, but his mother said nothing. She slowly closed the door to Celia’s room before stepping forward with a gloomy look in her eyes. When Lorcan saw this, his brows furrowed. What problem do they have again? What exactly did they talk about inside the room that he had to leave?Axel fell silent and averted his gaze from his son when he saw the look in his eyes. He glanced at his wife, waiting for her to speak, but she also remained silent. Lorcan’s eyes darted back and forth on his father and mother before settling on Axel when he spoke. “There is something we need to tell you, son,” Axel breathed out with a heavyweight inside his chest. He burrowed his hands deep inside his pockets to stifle his emotions. The crease on Lorcan’s forehead deepened with
“I realize now that I would have regretted it if I had chosen Celia. You were right to intervene, and I’m grateful for your love and guidance,” Lorcan spoke with gratefulness and a small smile as he stared into his mother’s eyes. Savina’s fingers twitched nervously when she heard Lorcan’s answer, so she hid it behind her. She doesn’t know what to do, and she is at a loss for words. What had she done? Oh, what had she done? If she had not stopped Lorcan before, this wouldn’t have happened. It was too late for her when she realized her mistake; Lorcan had already moved on from Celia. Celia would be devastated if she found out about this. Colton will not be able to live if something bad happens to his daughter. Savina is troubled; she doesn’t know how she’s going to solve the problem she has caused anymore. Savina pursed her lips and turned her head away as she addressed Lorcan’s answer. She snapped back to him again to reach out and gently touch his arm, her grip tightening slightly
Raven is silent as she has dinner with the rest of Lorcan’s family. Even though Lorcan and Raven are already the Alpha and Luna of their Pack, they let Savina and Axel sit at the head of the long table just like they used to.Raven sat across Savina with Lorcan sitting beside her, their seating arrangement was the same as their seating arrangement before Lorcan and Raven had before they were mated with each other.Raven stole a glance at everyone. They all looked guilty of hiding something from her.They were all busy eating, not saying a word to anyone and not even daring to make eye contact with each other. They made it look so obvious that they were hiding something.Raven matched their silence. Awkwardness permeated the room with their unusual eerie silence. In their meals, they used to talk a lot and laugh a lot, but not for this meal.Raven waited for someone to mention something to her. She thought Savina and Axel would always be her friend but if they were, then they should ha
Celia had a mischievous smile on her face as she finally saw the pieces of her plan falling together in one big masterpiece. Her goal of getting rid of Raven is finally within her reach. With her father’s blessing and the approval of Lorcan’s parents, she could finally be the Luna of the Moonvalley Pack, just as she had always wanted. It doesn’t matter now whether Raven is pregnant or whether Lorcan has finally decided to honor the mate bond. All she needed was to have the pack’s favor, the approval of Lorcan’s parents, and her father’s blessing. As for Lorcan and Raven, they will become too powerless to fight against those things. They will have no choice but to go with the flow, just as Celia was forced to do before because Raven had the Alpha and Luna’s favor, who were the most influential people in their Pack. Now that Celia had their favor, though, it would finally be the other way around. “Come to my room, now,” Celia commanded Kissa through the pack link while she could s
Kissa’s confident posture faltered when Celia only laughed at her serious words. “You had no idea, do you?” Celia asked her with a smug look on her face. Kissa blinked; she had no idea of what she was pertaining to. “Just because Lorcan had marked Raven and she had already ascended as the Pack’s Luna, that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t become the Pack’s new Luna anymore.” Celia rebuttedKissa averted her gaze. Her brows were knotted together, causing deep creases to form on her forehead as she tried to understand what Celia had meant. Raven is already the Luna. She is marked under the full moon and ascended to the Luna title that very same night. She is already rightfully declared and recognized as the Moonvalley Pack’s Luna. How could Celia still become the Pack’s Luna? A pack can’t have two Lunas, can it?Kissa’s eyes widened, and her body froze in fear when she thought of the answer. “That couldn’t be!” Kissa accidentally whispered out loud in shock. Celia smirked when she saw
