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
Making the decision to go back to the Moonvalley Pack was hard for Aurora. Even Sebastian doesn’t agree with her decision to go back there. Sebastian hated everybody in the Moonvalley Pack, all the people who tormented her sister lived there. He doesn’t like the idea of her sister staying there with them again. However, Aurora had already decided and in the end, she was able to convince Sebastian to give her permission. Aurora owes a lot to Luna Savina. She couldn’t forget the time when Luna Savina took care of her personally when she nearly died of Lorcan’s rejection. Their Pack has so many omegas and Pack Doctors who could help her heal, but Luna Savina never left her side until she recovered. Aurora wants to bring back that same kindness that Luna Savina has shown her. She also wants to meet her again and show her that she’s alive. Just like what Lorcan said, for sure Luna Savina would be happy to see her alive once again. Aurora’s not sure how long she’s going to stay there.
Ruston’s tears shrunk back when he saw Lorcan staring at him. His eyes which were filled with tears stared openly at his father whom he had never met before.Lorcan is speechless, his gaze connected with the little boy. Even though there was no confirmation yet, he couldn’t deny the connection he felt with him.Even his wolf turned restless the moment he laid eyes on the little boy.Ruston’s tight grip around his mother loosened as Lorcan stole his full attention.Aurora’s heart lurched when she saw Lorcan’s intense gaze on her son. She instinctively held Ruston and covered his face away from Lorcan’s sight hoping that he wouldn’t know the truth.Lorcan’s gaze turned to her after she did that. However, Raven did not face him. She stared straight ahead, averting his gaze from Lorcan while protectively covering Ruston with her arms like she was afraid that he would steal him away from her.
While Lorcan is enjoying his family reunion and connecting with his sons, Celia suddenly walks out of the car to interrupt their family moment. She knew if she was not going to come out and interrupt them, then things might get ugly for her. With a blank emotion on her face, she casually removed her sunglasses and folded them into her pocket. “Aren’t we going to leave?” Celia asked everyone flippantly. Celia is not blind, for sure she could see Lorcan hugging two boys in his arms. For sure she is not deaf either. She must have heard everything that had happened while she was inside the car. She just doesn’t care at all. The only thing she feels at all is annoyance towards the presence of Raven’s presence. They are supposed to be dead, but not only did she fail to kill Raven, but she also failed to kill at least just one of her sons. Ruston and Selwyn slowly turned around to look at Celia who just spoke. Although Celia is curious to see what they look like, she couldn’t bring her e
Raven smiled a little when she saw her twins sleeping peacefully in the backseat with their heads placed on top of each other.The boys looked kind and peaceful when they were asleep, far from the energetic boys that they were during the whole ride.At first, Raven thought it would take time for the boys to adjust and get close to their father, but Lorcan had won their hearts already in their first meet.The boys interacted with their father excitedly while they were still inside the car.Even though Lorcan was busy driving, he answered them enthusiastically and kept their conversation going.Aurora could see that Lorcan really wanted to know more about his sons and get close to them. He wanted to catch up with the things he missed about them.“Let me carry him,” Lorcan spoke softly when he saw Aurora about to carry Ruston.There are two kids sleeping, there’s no way that Aurora can carry both of them.Aurora nodded, she walked aside and watched as Lorcan carried Ruston comfortably in
“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
