Raven couldn’t believe how far Celia would go in fooling others. At first, she pretended that she was drowning and doesn’t know how to swim. Now, she’s pretending that she had suffered worse than her.Raven rolled her eyes at Celia’s laughable schemes. Even though Raven drank a lot of water and inhaled a lot of water in her lungs, she did not act exaggeratedly just like Celia who did not even drank any water from the lake.Celia coughed loudly as she lied on the shores drenched wet just like Raven. Her cough sounded like she was going to die, it was so exaggerated.Nevertheless, it still fooled everyone into thinking that Celia almost drowned in the lake there and that she clearly needed help.Raven stared at Celia’s pitiful state. She looked like a poor little dog that fell off the lake. She acted like the perfect victim and with her innocent looking face there is no wonder why everyone is fooled.Even she was fooled
Lorcan knew the moment she saw Raven here with Celia that it was her who pushed Celia off the lake. Lorcan couldn’t believe that Raven would be so unafraid in attempting murder at broad daylight in front of three witnesses.She must have thought that she would escape punishments just because she had his parents favor. Lorcan had let her off once, but he didn’t know that she would do something like this again.“I thought you already learned your lesson from last time, but it seems that you did not. Instead it even made you more confident to do something like this again,” Lorcan spoke coldly.Raven’s brows drew together not knowing what lesson and last time Lorcan was referring to. Raven never did anything wrong which is why she couldn’t understand his words.Seeing confusion spread in Raven’s face made him confused, however he let the feeling off, thinking that Raven was only pretending to be innocent and he wouldn
Raven’s wolf is fairly average and with the damages her wolf suffered recently because of Lorcan’s rejection, Raven doesn’t know how much her wolf could hold out.Raven hasn’t yet fully recovered from her injury. Until now, her weak wolf is still recuperating. She couldn’t even shift yet.There’s just no way that Raven would accept the punishment so easily. Especially if it would affect her wolf’s health.“It’s only Celia’s words against mine. How could you hold out charges against me without even properly investigating the matter?” Raven spoke up defiantly with pale lips as she shivered under the cold.Even though Raven is weak and completely drenched wet, she is still able to defend herself with a strong voice.As an orphan, Raven learned independence in a hard way. She survived all by herself which is why she valued her life so much and why she could easily speak up for herself.
Raven watched how everyone panicked when Celia lost her consciousness. Although she is amused by how Celia pretended to lose her consciousness and sent everyone panicking, she couldn’t watch them in amusement as they left in a hurry to help Celia who was only pretending to have faintedRaven could only feel anxious as she thought of the punishment that awaits her. She couldn’t feel too amused since there is an impending doom waiting ahead of her.Until now she doesn’t know what she is supposed to do about it.As everyone left in a hurry, they all forgot Raven who needed help the most and left her behind. When they were gone, silence befall Raven’s surroundings leaving her in peace and quiet.Raven was silent for a long moment as she sat on the ground shivering under the cold, completely drenched wet, staring at nothing. Slowly, her eyes reddened and a tear escaped her eye as she thought about her situation.How is she supposed to convince everyone that she’s innocent? How is she suppo
Robin held on Raven’s arm tightly as if Raven would get lost if she had let her go.Raven indeed looked lost right now, and she certainly feels like it. She is glad that there is Robin to help her.Robin’s brows bent together as she noticed Raven’s almost dry clothes. It means it’s been a long time since she got wet that her clothes had already dried on her.Apart from that, Raven also looked weak. Robin has never seen Raven appearing this weak before. She looks different from her usual confident and kind self that managed them all before who was able to handle the entire renovation project on her own.As Robin thought of it, the only time she had ever saw her appear weak was when Luna Savina had a fight against Celia. Whatever happened to Raven must have something to do with Celia or Lorcan. Anger rose inside her chest as she thought of them bullying Raven.Without even hearing an explanation from Raven, she had already con
“That was so unfair! How could those stupid omegas lie about this? Even if they were working under Celia, it is important that they tell the truth. No matter what, Lorcan is still the son of the Alpha, when he demands the truth, they should tell him the truth.” Wren spoke logically while Robin burned in anger beside her.Robin clenched her fists, her face is red in anger. It’s evident how much she is trying to restrain herself from bursting out and chasing after Celia.Although Wren also feels angry at the injustice that Raven had suffered, the two had different reactions. Robin wants to attack, but Wren looks at the situation logically even though they both feel the same thing.Raven’s head was downcast when she told them the whole story. She wasn’t expecting any of them to believe her and was just glad that she had someone around willing to listen to her problems whether they would believe her story or not.Raven just wanted to hav
Raven panted as her two friends filled with energy dragged her along with them forcing her to come to the packhouse.Raven clutched her rapid beating heart as she chased her breath. Raven doesn’t normally get tired as easily as this, but because her wolf’s health is still not in good condition her stamina decreases rapidly making her tire easily.“Come on Raven, we need to be there fast before Celia tampers with the investigation. This is the only way we can clear your name,” Robin tried to push Raven with her words when Raven suddenly stopped to chase her breath.“Just — a — moment,” Raven spoke between breaths as she tried to calm her body down.It’s not like Raven doesn’t want to come with them. She just had to stop because her body couldn’t take it anymore. The courtyard and the packhouse itself has a great distance between them.Not only do they have to pass the bridge on the lake, but they also have to walk through the forest and the garden to reach
Raven felt shame all over her body as she saw the men going through her room, throwing out all her things as they searched her room for something.Raven’s room looked like it was visited by a hurricane, but they still never stopped until they found what they are looking for.Raven glanced behind her when she heard an unrestrained gasp over her shoulder. It was Wren who gasped with her mouth covered with her hand.Robin was also speechless when she saw what happened. As women, they know how disrespectful this is.Raven looked around her just to see who else had seen her being humiliated and disrespected like this. Outside of her room is a crowd, their eyes were feasting upon the sight of her room being ransacked by Lorcan’s men.They had nothing else better to do than to watch someone else being disrespected and put to shame.Raven swallowed hard when she saw Lorcan at the corner of her room watching over his men as th
“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
