Raven stood meekly beside the room intimidated by the presence of the Alpha and Luna.
Luna Savina smiles softly as she walks near Celia’s bed. “We received the news that Celia is already awake. Celia, how do you feel?” Celia looked surprised by the Luna’s question. She looked up at Lorcan with an unsure gaze. Lorcan gives her a small smile to assure her. “I feel much better now,” Celia spoke in a timid voice.“Then in that case our job is done here. Now that you had recovered, it’s time for you to leave the packhouse.” Alpha Axel spoke firmly as soon as he heard Celia’s reply.Celia’s eyes widened and she looked at Lorcan with eyes begging for help. “Father, she just woke up. She hadn’t even regained most of her strength yet,” Lorcan spoke up.Alpha Axel’s brows furrowed. “The pack doctor told me that what happened to her wasn’t aIt’s been a week since Celia had stayed at the packhouse. Although she had already fully recovered, Lorcan continued to personally take care of her, giving her love, care and affection as if she was his mate.Lorcan is very affectionate to Celia. Ever since she lived in the packouse, he never went back at the military camp anymore to personally take care of her.Raven tried her best to evade Lorcan and Celia. As much as possible she doesn’t want their paths to cross and she doesn’t want to hear whatever the two were doing togetherRaven is trying to escape emotional pain and the only way for her to do that is to turn a blind eye on them to guard her own heart.Raven has never felt so alone in the packhouse. She knows that Lorcan hates her more than before because he thinks that she tried to kill Celia.Although Raven wanted to reconcile with Celia and she wanted to prove her innocence to Lorcan, it was better for her to ju
Raven was silent as she walked beside Luna Savina with her three omegas trailing behind her.Even though she have a close relationship with Luna Savina. Raven is still not used with Luna Savina’s magnanimous presence.Everyone in her position wouldn’t get used to a presence of a valuable figure. Luna Savina will always be the Luna of their pack, and she would always be just an average pack member.Yesterday, Luna Savina told her that her Luna training will start today. Raven’s mind was occupied with so many thoughts that she already forgot about it.She was just surprised when Luna Savina called her out after breakfast and all the anxiety and pressure she felt all came back right in and all that she can do was bury it all down and stick throughout the day as she trains her.Raven was pulled out of her train of thoughts when Luna Savina held her hand as they walked. Raven looked down at their intertwined hands, when she looked up,
Everyone froze when they heard a group of laughter that did not come from them. Luna Savina’s brows furrowed, not expecting that they are not the only people around here.This place is old and abandoned and no one comes here often. Most people don’t even know that this place exist. No one ever goes farther than the lakeJust like the Luna, Raven looked surprise and confused also. She looked around to see where the noise came from. She was sure that she heard the sound of laughter inside the packhouse.Luna Savina didn’t waste any time, she charged inside the courtyard to check who else was there with them. Raven and the other three omegas also rushed behind her.Raven who wanted to say something to the Luna, had no choice but to keep her words to herself and follow silently behind her.Luna Savina was expecting to see rubble and junks when she entered one of the rooms in the courtyard. However, she was surprised when what she saw
The next day, Raven and Luna Savina came back to the old packhouse to start Raven’s first task in her Luna training just as what Luna Savina had said.Raven woke up early for she did not want to disappoint the Luna. Today, she would be meeting the people that Luna Savina had assigned to work with her on her first task of training.Instead of feeling excited, she felt more pressured instead. She couldn’t help but think of how Celia had renovated one of the rooms in the courtyard yesterday, she was afraid that she wouldn’t even be half as good as her.What Celia did in the courtyard’s room was so good that both Raven and Luna Savina was impressed.Celia is very talented when it comes to things like fashion and design. Celia always make a statement in whatever she wears, and even her own room is also artistic and creative.Raven knows that too well for Raven had been in Celia’s room many times before. Celia’s wardro
Everyone fell quiet when Celia spoke while Raven was surprised when she suddenly disagreed with her. The atmosphere around them turned awkward because of this.Raven respects Celia and her opinion, however Raven was just following the design she has in her mind.Instead of having the vines, she wanted the courtyard to be filled with trimmed bushes and some flowers for a pop of color instead. She thinks it would look more neat than the unruly vines that had already overgrown in the courtyard.At first, she had no idea of how she can transform this place, but as she spent more time here and had gotten more familiarized with the place, the ideas just flowed into her head naturally.The omega looked at Raven and then at Celia back and forth because of their contradicting answers.Raven is the one in charge here and she should be followed, and yet just because she was “Celia” the omega hesitated on whom he should follow.“The vines was planted there for design, it isn’t a wild plant that j
Raven’s brows wrinkled worriedly as she looked over Luna Savina. She was more worried about the Luna’s health than the fact that there was another she wolf claiming her mate.Raven forgot everything else that matters when she saw Luna Savina’s state.Raven softly rubbed the Luna’s arm to help her calm down. She suddenly stopped when Luna Savina placed a hand over her arm to stop her.Luna Savina did not take her eyes off on Celia as her gaze still burned with anger. “Someday, my son will realize that you are a mistake. He will soon realize that you are a liar and a deceitful woman who manipulated him,” Luna Savina added for saying those words are the only thing that can help her calm down.Celia could not speak. All she could do was look around her as she received the Luna’s insults. Celia’s lips quivered as she saw how everyone was looking at her knowing that everyone had just witnessed how the Luna had ins
“H-huh?” Raven was pulled out of her reverie when she heard Luna Savina utter her name. She looked up at Luna Savina with wide eyes surprise that she had mentioned her.Luna Savina smiled bitterly at Raven’s reaction. If she wasn’t here to defend her, Raven would have been bullied by the two and she wouldn’t have done anything about it.Luna Savina pulled Raven’s arm and dragged her away from the crowd even though she still had a lot of things to tell Lorcan and Celia to point out how wrong they are.Luna Savina cared more about Raven than putting the two in their place. When she saw how uncomfortable and how shamed she felt as she stood behind her with her head lowered, she knew that she had to pull Raven away from the crowd to put her out of that depressing situation.Lorcan and Celia are the ones who are supposed to feel ashamed for their words, not Raven. She was quite disappointed with her at first because she did not even stood up for herself. Raven just stood behind the Luna’s
Raven woke up feeling so motivated the next day after the conversation she had with the Luna. Raven felt honored at the confidence that the Luna has given her.Only the Luna believed in her ability when no one else did, not even her own mate. Only she believed that she deserves to be the Luna, when even she had doubted her own self.This made Raven’s heart swell in confidence. When she found out how much the Luna believes in her, she swore to herself that she will never fail the Luna and make her feel disappointed with her ever again.She vowed to herself that she would do everything to fulfill the Luna’s expectations of her, and she would start it by doing well in this first task that the Luna has entrusted to her.Raven had a huge smile on her face as she watched the omega work together for the renovation project.Raven went with what she wanted and with the plans that she had in her head. She had the vines removed and she focused on
“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
