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
Celia wrapped her arms around Lorcan’s neck and buried her face close to his body as he gently carried her towards the packhouse.With her head pressed on his body, Celia could smell nothing but Lorcan’s deep musky scent. She could also hear his heart’s rhythm with clarity, making Celia know what he’s feeling or might even be thinking right now.“Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump.” Lorcan’s heart is deep and steady, showing how calm he is. Celia could even feel his care and worry towards her as he treated her like a fragile doll. However, this calm demeanor that he is showing them is the opposite of what Lorcan’s wolf is feeling inside of him.Caius is restless inside Lorcan. He goes around in circles clearly uncomfortable and annoyed with something. No one would think that just by looking at Lorcan’s stoic expression.However, because of Celia’s powerful wolf, she is still able to sense and feel what’s going on with Caius inside Lorcan’s body right now. Through Nyla, Celia’s wolf, she is a
Lorcan’s heart tightened inside his chest as he watched Celia cry out uncontrollably. Celia burrowed her face in her palms as she sobbed her eyes out so that Lorcan would buy her story.With Celia’s intense acting skills, how could Lorcan doubt Celia’s story? How could he also have the heart to question Celia’s words?Lorcan felt bad for Celia. She must really have been so traumatized to the point that she is this severely affected by just telling him what had happened.Lorcan could still remember what the pack doctor had said the day that she fainted after nearly drowning by the lake.The pack doctor said that she did not faint because of what happened to her in the lake, but Celia fainted because of the emotional and mental burden caused by the trauma that the incident had incurred.Lorcan had no idea that this was the trauma that Celia has been keeping to herself. She had no idea that Celia has been carrying this heavy burden all along.He couldn’t imagine having to keep this heavy
Jericho had a serious look on his face as he walked across the packhouse to meet the Alpha. Jericho looked heavy and serious. All the omegas that he passed by could even feel the tension hanging over him.The omegas weren’t surprised to see Celia’s protective brother looking like there was a storm cloud hanging above him. The trial just finished and they all knew what had happened to Celia during Raven’s trial. There’s no other reason for Jericho to feel this upset aside from what had happened to his sister.Everyone knew that Jericho was there during the trial to witness Raven receive her punishment for hurting Celia. Everyone was expecting to see Raven get humiliated in public as she receives her punishment.Who would have thought that Celia, the victim in the case is the one who will end up being humiliated publicly instead? They were never expecting for things to end up that way. They also never thought that Celia would lie and preten
Jericho immediately bowed his head before Alpha Axel when he received his order. Before he came here, he knew that asking for the Alpha’s permission to take away his sister from the packhouse wouldn’t be too hard. However, he was still surprise with how eager Alpha Axel was to see Celia gone from the packhouse.He couldn’t harbor bad feelings against him though, it was Celia who is forcing herself to be here. Celia doesn’t belong here and she is already prohibited from being here.She had already caused the packhouse too much trouble for being here, yet she’s still causing and adding more problem for the members of the packhouse.Jericho is ashamed with Celia’s actions. He hopes that she had finally woken up from her mistakes. Today, he will make sure that Celia would learn her lesson. He would never let her go back to this packhouse and do the same mistake again. Jericho wouldn’t be doing this for the pack a
Celia was frightened by her brother’s words. Jericho was about to go and pack Celia’s things so they could leave when Celia immediately grabbed him by the sleeves of his shirt to stop him from leaving.“Please don’t tell dad about this. He’d kill me if he found out about this,” Celia pleaded with fear in her eyes.Jericho felt bad for his sister when he saw her reaction. He didn’t want to use this card against her, but he thought that was the only way that he could do so that she would agree to come with him.Jericho knows exactly what type of father their father was. Beta Colton is strict towards his children. He is a strict disciplinarian who doesn’t tolerate the wrongdoings of his own children.If Beta Colton is a strict Beta of the pack, then he is a stricter father towards his children especially towards Jericho, his eldest son who would inherit his position in the future.Bet
Jericho was taken aback by his sister’s confession. He had never thought that all this time, his sister has been feeling this way. “I always felt like a nobody in our family. Father always gave you his attention. He brought you wherever he went so you could learn from him while I was always left alone at home, excluded from everything.I was just an extra child he had while you were his pride, his future beta. Father always looked upon you, he always boasted everything good about you. Dad always sees the good things about you. He always saw potential in your mistakes, but he only sees me whenever I make a mistake.”Tears welled on Celia’s eyes as she tried to keep them at bay. She doesn’t want to cry in front of her brother. She doesn’t want to appear weak in front of him. The words that she just said is supposed to be a secret that she would forever hide from her family. She always thought that if her family knew about this, they would only invalidate her feelings which would onl
Lorcan had an irritated expression on his face when he left Celia’s room so she could have a private conversation with her brother. Lorcan didn’t want to leave Celia alone with her brother knowing how Jericho is also against with their relationship, but Lorcan trusts Celia and he is simply not the controlling person in their relationship.Lorcan couldn’t forget the conversation he had with Jericho the other day which is also the same day when they saw Celia and Raven drowning in the lake. Lorcan was hoping to ask Jericho for a favor, but Jericho took it offensively knowing that he was asking him to lie to their father so he could cover up for his sister. Lorcan and Jericho’s conversation did not went well. On top of that, Lorcan wasn’t able to explain his side and tell him how serious he is with his sister because they heard a loud shriek by the lake which interrupted their whole conversation. The whole fiasco also happened after that giving them no chance to continue their convers
