Everyone who heard Celia spoke turned their eyes on her when they heard her words. Lorcan had just asked the pack guard about Raven’s whereabouts, but before the pack guard could even give his answer, Celia had already made her assumption. Celia pulled back from Lorcan with worry etched on her face. There was also a hint of fear in her eyes pretending that she is afraid and worried that Raven is going to escape. Of course this was all just an act again. She is just trying to sow discord and cause trouble for Raven. She just wanted to cause misunderstanding and make Lorcan feel more angry towards Raven. That’s what Celia wanted to happen. She wants Lorcan to bear hatred against Raven because the more Lorcan hates her, the more it would be easier for Celia to fool Lorcan and make him think that she is the one perfect for him. Because of Raven’s tardiness, Celia had found the opportunity to do that. Hearing Celia’s words, Lorcan scowled. “Find her. I don’t care if she is ready or no
Lorcan raised his hand and closed his fist which is a silent signal to tell everyone to calm down. Upon seeing his hand signal, everybody turned quiet immediately and kept their thoughts to themselves.However, this did not kept them from talking to each other through their pack link.“You know that if you plead not guilty you have to present evidence that will prove you are innocent, right?” Lorcan asks Raven again, thinking that she must not have understood how this trial works.However, Raven remained unmoved. “Of course I know that.”Celia pursed her lips as she stared at Raven. She tried to see through Raven’s facade, but she had no way of knowing what she’s thinking. This made Raven feel crazily worried.With Raven’s confidence, doubts suddenly flooded Celia’s mind.‘What is this? Does she really have the evidence to prove that she’s innocent? Don’t tell me that sh
Everyone didn’t see the twist coming when they heard Raven’s words. If what she says is true, then there is really no way that Raven owned wolfsbane. The only reason why they found the wolfsbane in her room is because someone planted it in there.Celia gritted her teeth in annoyance. She couldn’t believe that Raven is still able to prove her innocence even after all her careful plannings and the perfect frame up she did against Raven.If only she had known this fact, then she would have done something about it.Lorcan fell silent when the evidence is presented upon them. On top of that, Raven’s witness is Luna Savina, and there are also a lot of omegas who moved Raven’s belongings to the packhouse who would attest to this truth.Moreover, Lorcan knew this fact also. He knew that Raven was with Luna Savina all day as the omegas moved her belongings to the packhouse, and ever since that day, Raven never left the packhouse.There is no way she could smuggle in wolfsbane, and there is no w
‘What now Raven? Yes you are able to lessen your charges, but in the end you will still be guilty of a crime you did not commit, and you will still get punished in front of everybody.You will still be the first ever criminal to become a Luna. Your reputation will forever be tarnished and you will never get away from here without getting punished,” Celia thought smuggly to herself.She is confident that Raven won’t get away this time. The three witnesses are all loyal to her, there is no way that one of them would come out and tell the truth.They are all her allies, in short Raven is doomed.Hearing Lorcan’s question, Luna Savina stared at Raven thinking of what she is going to do. She thought that Raven is caught in a dead end this time. What they all do not know is that Raven has been waiting for this. She is exactly waiting for Lorcan to ask that question. In fact, this is what she has been preparing for all this time which is why she arrived late. Luna Savina was about to inte
Celia stared straight to Raven’s eyes in an attempt to know what she is thinking and to find out if she is telling the truth or not.Raven says that she has the evidence that will show it was her who pushed Raven off from the bridge and not the other away around. Is she really saying the truth?Did she somehow recorded everything that happened behind her back? Was there another witness that she doesn’t know about? What evidence will she have that will show what truly happened?As Celia tries to guess the evidence that Raven says she has on hand, Celia starts to overthink. As more thoughts entered Celia’s mind, the more she becomes more paranoid and the more worse her thoughts become.In all the thoughts that she had, none of them was good. She is now afraid that Raven will show her evidence in front of everybody and reveal what a liar she really was.Celia swallowed hard as she stared at Raven’s expressionless face. There&
When the countdown was done, the omegas working for Raven took their queue. When the countdown has finished, they opened their baskets and dumped whatever was inside of it into the lake.Some of the people watching by the shore screamed in fight when they realized that the baskets contained snakes.The people instantly stepped away from the shore in fright. They were all afraid that the snakes they dumped into the water would bite them.‘Meet your friends, Celia!’ Raven wanted to add that remark, but she stopped herself.After all, Raven is not here to have her revenge on Celia. She is only here to prove her innocence and there is no other way to do it than this.When Celia saw that they dumped snakes into the lake. Celia was frightened, but still she couldn’t let them know that she could swim, so she yelled more hysterically instead.“Please save me! I don’t want to die yet!” Celia shouted in fright. 
Lorcan swallowed uncomfortably and hesitation filled his eyes when he heard his father’s words. His reaction did not escape Raven’s eye. When she saw this, Raven’s heart fell at the pit of her stomach when she realized that Lorcan would rather protect Celia than to get to the bottom of the truth. Celia had deceived him, she betrayed him, and yet he still chose to be by her side. How could he love her that much? Raven is his mate, they are connected through the mate bond. How is it possible for him to love another she wolf more than his own true mate?Raven’s lips quivered as she stared at Lorcan’s conflicted gaze. He is torn between his duty to fulfill the investigation and to protect Celia. Even after everything she had done to him. He loved her so much that he forgave her easily. Lorcan is Luna Savina and Alpha Axel’s son so Raven had high expectations of him. She thought that since both of his parents are kind and righteous, then surely they would give birth to a son as kind an
Lorcan was cornered. He knows that there is nothing else that he could or he could say to escape this situation. There’s no way that his parents would let him postpone the investigation especially on how he did not do it first for Raven.Lorcan looked down on Celia and sighed. He had no choice but to surrender to his father’s wishes. “Then I will start the investigation right away. I’ll make sure to punish those who needs to be punished. I promise to be fair in the investigation and to only get to the bottom of the truth,” Lorcan replied firmly with a resolute gaze. Celia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the determination in Lorcan’s voice. Celia has been Lorcan’s girlfriend for so long so she knows him so well. Judging by the tone of his voice, she knows that he was saying the truth. He would really be fair in this investigation and he will make sure to punish those he had to be punished. Does that work on her though.Alpha Axel nodded his head when he heard his son’s firm an
