Lorcan wasn’t the same person that Celia had known when they marked each other. Lorcan had turned into an emotionless person who just wanted nothing in life.
He went according to his parents’ wishes and did whatever was good for the pack because he simply wanted nothing.Lorcan is like a robot clothed in flesh and skin. He isn’t the same man that he was before. He has turned into a completely boring person. Celia sat on the floor with her back resting on the side of her bed with her knees huddled together. She took in short and rasped breaths as she stared straight at nothing picking on the mark wound on her neck. Even though Celia is still alive, her skin is already festering. The mark wound on her neck is so bad that it looks like the skin of a rotting zombie. Celia got that wound after she was marked by Lorcan five years ago. Celia thought that once she and Lorcan had marked each other, they would become special mCelia was frozen in shock when Raven’s words entered her ears. Her face paled, and her lips quivered slightly as she stared right through Raven like she was looking at a ghost that had risen back from the dead. It would be better if she were staring at Raven’s ghost, but the Raven in front of her is alive. She could even feel her heartbeat. Celia’s heart raced within her chest as she stared at the person she thought she would never have to see again. This explained everything that had happened to her in the last five years. Raven tricked all of them! She just faked her death this entire time. No wonder why her body had a negative reaction to Lorcan’s mark. It’s all because Lorcan’s true and marked mate is still alive. Aurora held a smug look on her face as she witnessed Celia’s reaction which she had been eagerly waiting to see. Celia did not disappoint Raven’s expectations. She felt a tickle down her chest to see the person who had tormented her before feel intimidated by her.
To be able to hold herself together like this in front of him just shows how strong Aurora had become. Staring into Lorcan was like staring at the adult version of her sons. Her sons mostly got their physical appearance from their father. So, no matter how much Aurora had tried to forget about their father, it was hard when her children would always remind her of him.Aurora’s mind went blank for a moment. She did not expect that she would also meet Lorcan at the same hour. She was just in the middle of taking care of her business with Celia when Lorcan came and interrupted them. “I-It’s you. I-It’s really you,” Lorcan whispered as he looked at Raven with a pained expression in his eyes. Aurora narrowed her eyes when she saw the hints of betrayal that glinted in Lorcan’s eyes. She had imagined all possible reactions that Lorcan could have once he finds out that she’s alive, feeling betrayed isn’t one of them. “H-How could you do this to me?” Lorcan breathed out, his voice soft and
“Good evening everyone!” Sebastian greeted the guests enthusiastically as he walked up the stage. The hour has finally come and it is time for him to make the announcements to formally start the event. Aurora, Lorcan, and Celia just came back to the party in time to hear the whole speech that Sebastian had prepared. Aurora felt a little relieved that her conversation with Lorcan and Celia was cut short. Just when things were about to get out of hand, one of the waitresses came and interrupted them to call them back inside since Sebastian was about to make her speech. Aurora was glad that she made that kind of preparation. Aurora wanted to make sure that everyone was going to hear the announcement. So, she specifically ordered their Pack omegas to check all the places where the guests could be lounging, including the gardens and the restrooms, and to call them into the party to hear the announcement. They had no choice but to cut their conversation short and go back inside. The cr
Aurora is taken aback by the warm hugs and the warm welcome that everyone gives her. Everyone was just so glad and relieved to find out that she was alive. She did not expect that there were such people who actually cared about her death. She thought when she died, nobody could care less about her. She just found out today that there were many people out there who genuinely cared about her. These kind Lunas who were looking at her with solace in their eyes were people she only met once before at the Werewolf Assembly. Yet, they were all heartened to see her alive. Aurora felt comforted to know that there were others aside from her own Pack and family who genuinely cared about her. Aurora gave them all a small smile, their kindness made her lost for words. Just as how Aurora had arranged for their special dinner, the Alphas, and Lunas are separated to their own tables. Sebastian is assigned to eat with the Alphas and entertain them, while Aurora is left to eat with the Lunas and ta
Aurora smiled back playing along with Celia. She knew that even though she was smiling and laughing like that, there was no way she didn’t feel troubled inside her heart.The thing with Celia, she had always underestimated her. She is the beta’s daughter, the most powerful woman in the Pack next to Luna, who was Raven for her to get scared of her? Just because of her status, she thought she could get away with everything and get all that she wanted. Now that her enemy turned out to be stronger than her, a sister of an Alpha, Celia fell in denial. It was hard for her to accept that somebody would turn out more powerful than her, especially Raven. Aurora stared at Celia with seething hate in her eyes. After all the evil things she had done against Raven, there was no hint of remorse in her. In the five years that Raven was gone, Celia got what she wanted. Aurora thought that it would teach Celia a lesson. She thought it would make her realize that being a Pack’s Luna is not worth bet
Lorcan and Celia hadn’t slept a wink the whole night. Their minds were deeply bothered until they realized that the time had already passed by and the sun had already risen up. As werewolves that are much stronger than average, skipping a night of sleep did not have much effect on them. Anyone could look at them and no one would think they were stressed and bothered that they were unable to sleep that night. At breakfast, Celia tried to mingle with the other Lunas still wearing another turtlenecked shirt that covered her neck which only emphasized what she was covering, and placed attention on her neck even more. Still, it would be better to just have it covered than to expose her festering zombie skin. The Nightshade Pack has a unique way of serving today’s breakfast. It is self-service with a huge buffet in front. It reminded her of school cafeterias. Only, they have a wide variety of food to choose from, and every meal is special and well thought out. From fruits, oatmeal, and c
Celia chewed on her bottom lip as she sat on their room’s bed, staring past through the open window. She watched the tree leaves swaying outside with the wind, as she scratched on her neck wound again with dried blood and pieces of thin skin stuck underneath her nails again. When the door to their room finally opened, Celia suddenly stood up and turned around. She stormed to Lorcan’s side with her nostrils flaring. “Where the fuck were you?!” Celia snarled at him. Lorcan ignored him. Instead, he turned to his things to get what he came here for. Irritated by his response, Celia pushed him by his shoulder forcing him to look at her. “Why are you ignoring me? Did you talk to her? Have you already reconciled with Raven behind my back?”Lorcan glared at Celia feeling disrespected that she had pushed him. However, Celia is so angry that she couldn’t care less about it. Celia scoffs. “Have you forgotten that she was the person who left you? She lied to you and faked your death. She does
Celia kept her mouth shut as if remaining silent would get her out of trouble. She looked at Lorcan with pleading eyes as she silently begged him to stop. “L-Lorcan, please just believe me,” Celia pleaded, but Lorcan wasn’t moved by her tears. Lorcan shook his head, he had so many doubts. It is hard for him to trust Celia by just her mere words. Even though Celia is in tears and is begging him to believe her, somehow he’s still not convinced that she’s telling the truth. Before, Lorcan used to trust Celia much more than he trusted himself. He believes her, even when she contradicts his logic. Now that he’s no longer infatuated with Celia, his feelings don’t cloud his judgment of her anymore. He could now see her in a new light. He could finally discern him intellectually and not emotionally.Her tears don’t cloud his judgment anymore, and he no longer believes her lies as easily as he used to. “If you had done nothing wrong, then things would be fine if I asked the Pack Doctor abo
