“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
Raven’s eyes locked on Kissa when she heard her words. Silent and unmoving, she simply stared at the unspoken question hanging in the air between them. “Do you believe me now, Raven?” Kissa probed her even further with desperate eyes. She gained more confidence when her words caught Raven’s attention. Raven blinked. She clenched her jaw when her confident posture almost faltered. “H-How did you know that I’m pregnant?” Raven stuttered when she asked.Kissa lifted her chin when Raven did not correct her. “I told you already they are planning to kill you. You and your baby’s life will be in danger if you stay here much longer.” Kissa’s voice grew stronger. Raven felt tightness in her chest as Kissa’s words sank in. With a trembling hand, she pressed her tight chest. With the other hand, she grabbed the wall beside her for support. Raven bit her lower lip as she tried to calm herself. She gasped in quick and shallow breaths like she had just taken out on a run. “R-Raven, are you o
Raven’s heart thundered in her chest. Every muscle in her body tensed as she sprinted through the dense forest, the thud of her footsteps drowned out by the deafening rush of blood in her veins. The sound of paws hitting the forest ground reverberated through the forest, growing louder and closer with each passing second. Panic surged within her as fear gripped her. She realized whoever they were, they were coming for her, and they were closing in on her. Raven’s breath came in ragged gasps, her lungs burning with exertion and fear. Sweat trickled down her forehead, mingling with the tears that welled up in her eyes. She felt desperate and alone as the forest itself conspired against her, its branches reaching out like gnarled hands, snagging at her clothes and scratching her skin, impeding her desperate escape. Raven was pulled to a stop when she made a bad step, breaking her footing. She managed to bite her tongue just as when she was about to scream. A metallic tang seared ou
Raven held herself tight as she looked at the deep cliff before her and then at Celia who slowly sauntered towards her with a smirk on her face and a sharp look in her eyes. Raven swallowed hard as danger loomed over her. Her breath turned quick and shallow when Celia took out a silver dagger behind her, its sharp edge glinting under the moonlight. The edge of the dagger’s handle is a small round hole, Celia played with it using her long slender fingers. Raven desperately crawled backward with a horrified look on her face. When her fingers touched the bare edge of the cliff, she knew she had no other way to run. It’s either she dies on Celia’s hands, or she dies by jumping off the cliff alone, dropping to the cold hard rocks and her corpse dragged and beaten away by the deadly raging waves. Raven ran away from the Pack so she wouldn’t have to die in Lorcan’s hands and give him another chance to play with her feelings and hurt her again. She escaped and ended up here to fight for
Lorcan woke up with a start when an electrifying shock shot through his chest as if a bolt of lightning had struck him while he was fast asleep.Lorcan’s face turned red in pain as he clenched his jaw tight. He fell off his bed and curled in pain as he gripped his shirt right above his chest until his knuckles turned white. Lorcan couldn’t breathe, his whole body quivered badly as hot tears trailed at the corner of his eyes. His wolf whimpered weakly inside of him as they both felt the jolt of pain that surged through their body.After a whole minute of holding the ache in, the pain was gone. It completely disappeared like the pain didn’t happen. “R-Raven,” Lorcan whispered desperately as he forced himself to push himself up from the ground. “It can’t be,” Lorcan thought to himself as fear and disbelief coursed through him.He was just peacefully sleeping when the mate bond he had with Raven suddenly broke apart. Unexpectedly, the connection he had with Raven is gone. He and his w
“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
