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
