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
Three Days After…It has been three days of nonstop searching, but they still haven’t found Raven’s body. Day and night, the Pack Warriors scoured the whole forest to search for Raven, but they had found no clues except for the bag she owned that they discovered on the night she disappeared.They were running on a dead end because of the lack of clues to search for Raven. Their search were becoming more and more difficult as days passed by. Raven’s chances of being alive decreases as hours pass by.Everyone started to lose hope except for Lorcan. Everyone had already accepted that Raven is gone… she’s dead. It’s either she is mauled by rogues or eaten by a wild animal.It’s no secret that Raven is too weak to defend herself. Even if she is the Pack’s Luna, it will be no use since she had no wolf to protect herself. It’s highly likely that she died the moments she left the Pack.The fact that they lost connection with her is already a clear indication of that.Still, Lorcan refused to b
“Alpha! Alpha!” Sebastian groaned when he heard someone already calling out for him when they hadn’t even entered his office yet.Shouldn’t they enter the room first and pay him respect before shouting for him outside like the whole Pack was on fire?Sebastian dropped his pen on the table and scratched his eyes; he stretched his arms a little until the person who was calling him outside suddenly barged inside the room with a worried and frantic look on his face. Sebastian’s brows furrowed when he saw his Beta’s panicked reaction. He looked like he had seen a ghost and was about to faint anytime. Sebastian instinctively ruffled his hair in stress. He already felt stressed even though he still hadn’t heard what the problem was yet. Recently, Sebastian had received nothing but problems and bad reports from their Pack. He is trying his best to keep their Pack afloat, but no matter the amount of effort he gives for the Pack, something bad always happens, which only adds to their problems
“If you do not want to punish her according to the rules of your Pack, then I’ll bring Raven justice with my own hands instead,” Sebastian declared. He turned his attention back on Celia and stared at her with fury in his eyes. This despicable woman needs to die for all of her crimes, but killing her as a punishment is not enough to make up for how much she made Raven’s life miserable. He wanted her to suffer ten times more than she made Raven suffer. “Alpha Sebastian, please calm down first!” Colton stepped forward in fear when he heard his threats. He walked forward to explain his daughter’s side. “My daughter was sick, Alpha, and she just recovered. She had lost all her memory—““Losing memory of what she did does not make her innocent,” Sebastian growled, interrupting Colton’s words.Still, Colton continued. “A lot of things had happened already, Alpha, since you were gone. My daughter was in a coma for months, and it was Raven who saved my daughter. My daughter owes Raven her
Sebastian never ceased in his search for Raven, just like he never ceased searching for his lost sister. As days continued to pass by, Sebastian’s determination to find Raven never wavered, just like how he never gave up on the search for his lost sister after so many years of failed investigation. Since the Moonvalley Pack has already given up their search for Raven, he made it his job to look for Raven. He has resolved to himself that he is not going to stop looking for her until she finds her body, dead or alive, just like how it was also his duty as the only living member of their family to look for his lost sister. The Nightshade Pack is known for being the only Pack who have “scouts” — a rank of werewolves who are assigned to search for missing people. Aside from searching for missing people, a scout’s job also includes gathering information or intel inside and outside the Pack to gain knowledge and formulate a strategic plan based on the information gathered.
