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. In the human
Many Years Ago…THE DOWNFALL OF NIGHTSHADE PACK“Mommy,” a cute adorable voice pulled Ophelia back. She swallowed hard when she felt Sebastian tug her arm. “Mommy, where are you going?” Sebastian is frightened as he asks his mother in a small voice. Their Pack had just been attacked by rogues, so they ran to the nearest shelter for protection. Just like all Packs, they also have safety procedures and protocols for rogue attacks. They have bunkers and escape shelters for survival. As soon as they received the news that the rogues came to attack them, Ophelia immediately took her son and rushed to hide him in the bunker. Sebastian thought that her mother would hide with him and his sister in their safe room, but he was confounded when his mother made a move to leave with his baby sister sleeping in her arms. From the outside, Sebastian could hear howls and roars of pain, thuds, and impacts as they tackled each other in combat and ripping and tearing of flesh as they bit and clawed
Ophelia took a step back every time that the peculiar woman would take a step forward. Ophelia held a guarded expression on her face as she watched the unfamiliar woman’s every move. Her instincts urged her to create a safe distance between them. Ophelia sniffed the air to identify the strange woman in front of her. Although she looked dangerous, Ophelia felt unsure of her real intentions. If she was really here to harm her, just like the rogues, she would have done something by now. Ophelia’s brows furrowed when she smelled no scent from her. All creatures should have a scent that is specific only to them. With a werewolf’s keen sense of smell, Ophelia should be able to trace a scent from her. This was the first time that Ophelia met someone who smelled nothing. As a Luna, there’s no way that her keen sense of smell would fail her. The only reason why she can’t trace any scent from her is because she smells like nothing. Ophelia locked eyes with the unidentifiable woman in front
Ophelia and her daughter are both Lunarborns, an identity that she wishes she and her daughter didn’t have. Just as the woman had said, Lunarborns are rare creatures. Lunarborns are formed if a werewolf is born on the night of the Lunar Year. Ophelia was born on the night of the Lunar Year, and she gave birth to her daughter on the night of the Lunar Year, too. Lunarborns are special creatures. They become special because they are born on the night when the moon has finished its cycle. Werewolves have a celestial connection to the moon, and they have an affinity for celestial energies. If they are born under the influence of the Lunar Year, their connection to the moon becomes exceptionally strong. This connection grants them heightened senses, enhanced physical abilities, and a mystical aura that radiates around them. The night of the Lunar Year also bestows a special blessing upon Lunarborn Werewolves. These blessings manifest in various ways depending on the given blessing.
“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
