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
Lorcan scoffed. “Funny how I was supposed to tell you to stay away from my girlfriend,” Lorcan emphasized the word girlfriend causing bad goosebumps to course all over Raven’s body. Raven clenched her fist as she stared at the smug look on Lorcan’s face. He’s deliberately sticking it to her face that she is his unwanted mate just to annoy her, If Ember had only recovered, she would have howled in pain. Until now, Raven could still feel no signs of her wolf. She could just feel her recuperating at the back of her head. Raven scoffs back. “Oh I am trying so hard to keep my distance from your girlfriend but she’s always coming for me. I’m not even talking to her, I was completely ignoring her but she’s always causing trouble by going to where I was,” Raven rebutted. She couldn’t believe that he had the audacity to say those words when it’s pretty obvious that his girlfriend is the one attracting trouble. Lorcan is left speechless, having nothing to say against Raven’s words. After a
Lorcan frowned at Raven’s choice of words. “Harassment? Celia is not the type of person who will harass others. Harassment is a heavy word to use don’t you think?Celia had told me everything that happened at the bridge. She said it was all just an accident. She was afraid that you will turn things against her that’s why she lied.She lied out of fear and you knew that what happened was only an accident.”Raven sighed, until the very end Lorcan chose to defend his girlfriend and believe her lies.“Lorcan, you shouldn’t believe everything that you hear especially the words that comes from the person you knew had already lied to you,” Raven answered nonchalantly still without looking at him.Lorcan opened his mouth, about to defend Celia once again, but Raven had cut him short.“I think I should make it clear that just because I am willing to turn a blind eye in your relationship with
“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
