It’s been three days since Raven had moved to the pack. Until now, she still hadn’t had the chance to meet with Celia and solve the problems they had between them.There was not a single day that Celia did not pass her mind. Raven always wondered how she’s doing, if she hated her for what had happened or if she also feels the same way as her, worrying about her too. Raven misses Celia so much, and the heavy feeling she had in her heart was still there as she blames herself for the things that had happened to Celia. Even though the mate bond is beyond Raven’s control, she still felt guilty for what happened because she also feels indebted to Celia. Celia had done a lot of good things to Raven, she protected her and treated her like a sister even though she doesn’t deserve it, for that Raven will always feel indebted to her. Raven felt bad that she has to be the reason for ruining everything she had and she would never feel at peace unless she finds out that Celia is fine and explai
“Y-You were looking for me?” Raven breaths out as she stares at Lorcan with wide eyes. Raven’s heart beats rapidly inside her chest because of Lorcan’s close presence. Her mind feels fuzzy and she couldn’t think clearly because the mate bond is overpowering all her senses right now and sending weird sensations all over her body. “We need to talk outside.” Without waiting for Raven’s response, Lorcan pulls Raven towards the staircase, interrupting the conversation that the omegas were having. All the omegas shut their mouths when they saw Lorcan and Raven. They pretended to be cleaning around as they dusted off the figurines and other displays not knowing that Raven heard everything that they said about her. The omegas pretended that they did not just talked behind Raven’s back oblivious to the fact that Raven heard everything they said. Raven fastened her pace to match Lorcan’s speed as he drags her away against her will. Even though Lorcan is being rough with her, the damn mate
It was never Raven’s wish to be mated to Lorcan. She never had any ambitions of becoming any pack’s Luna. As long as she could live a normal and peaceful life with a mate who loves her, what more could Raven ask from the world?Except the things she wanted never happened. She was mated to a man who doesn’t want her, and she became a Luna of the pack that never respected her. Not only that, but she also lost the person she deeply cared about because of the mate bond. Lorcan is right, maybe the moon goddess did make a mistake. Celia is the rightful person in her position right now.If going under this great deal of pain is the only way to break this mate bond that was supposed to be a blessing, but turned out to be a curse, then she will endure all of it just so things could go back the way it was. “Raven please don’t accept his rejection. Lorcan doesn’t want us, but his wolf wanted us. I can feel his wolf trying to stop him, there must still be a chance for us,” Ember tried to argue.
“R-Raven!” Lorcan stuttered, he couldn’t hide how worried he was when he saw how Raven fall out of her consciousness.Lorcan carried Raven’s lifeless body to his lap and patted her cheek to wake her up, but he got no response from her. Lorcan felt guilty when she saw how pale Raven looked and how her lips lacked color in her.Lorcan’s gaze fell on the trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. It was a trace left by the blood that she coughed out. Lorcan’s wolf howled inside of him when he saw the pitiful state that his mate is in. “This your fault! If something bad happens to our mate, I will never forgive you,” Caius growled inside of Lorcan. This is the first time that Lorcan’s wolf has threatened him. Caius and Lorcan used to get along with each other. In the years that they had been together, they never disagreed with each other. This is the first time that Caius had gone against Lorcan and had become angry at him. Lorcan expected that this would happen between them. He know
Lorcan couldn’t understand how his wolf could completely forget about Celia and be completely obsessed with Raven just because of the mate bond. Lorcan knows that the mate bond is strong. He could also feel whatever the mate bond is trying to make Caius feel.He knows exactly how the mate bond stirs up unwanted emotions in him. The mate bond is strong and powerful, capable of stirring his emotions, feel empathetic and attracted towards his mate, and even have a connection with her.However, even with how powerful it is, it’s not capable of changing a man’s heart. Yes, Raven is Lorcan’s mate and he is attracted to her because of it, but at the same time he still loves Celia the same way that he did before he had realized who his mate was. He couldn’t understand how Caius had instantly moved on from Celia as if he hadn’t also never loved her before. Back when Lorcan and Celia were dating and they had no idea who their mates were going to be, Caius had always felt a strong connection
There was silence after Luna Savina had asked Raven her question. Luna Savina has been worried sick about her and she has been waiting for her to wake up so she could find out what had really happened to her. Even the omega who were faithfully serving Luna Savina were all ears, wanting to know why Raven suddenly fell sick when she was just fine the last time that they saw her. Raven bit her lip and lowered her gaze to her fingers as she fiddled with them. It is a habit that she had formed whenever she is troubled with something. Raven doesn’t know what to tell Luna Savina. Although she could remember what exactly happened before she passed out, she doesn’t know if she should involve Luna Savina into this and tell her how her son had forced her to accept his rejection, making her nearly lose her wolf. Luna Savina is the kindest person that Raven had ever met. Even though Lorcan was her son, she never sided with him same with the Alpha. Lorcan might be their child but they will nev
Things only got worse for Raven ever since she had waken up. She thought that the pain would be over and she could finally recover in peace with the help of Luna Savina and the Pack Doctor, but things only got worse for her from then on. Every night, pain would rack Raven’s body like her flesh was being eaten by millions of ants. She would bite her tongue in pain as her body burned and no one could help her stop the immense pain that she is feeling all over her body. The pack doctor couldn’t explain what was happening to her and there was no cure that could help her numb the pain that she was feeling. They could only hope that one night it would never trouble Raven anymore just like how the pain leaves her every certain time of the night as if it never came.Raven’s pain only happens at a certain window of time of the night. Raven would wrench in pain on hours end until the pain stops and fades away on its own. The pain would come and go from her body at an exact time every night.
Raven’s recovery was doing fine. She never fell into a fever ever again and her body no longer experienced any pain anymore. She also doesn’t feel as weak as she did before and she could finally do most of the things that she used to do before. The pack doctor had also cleared her and said that as long as she eats on time, gets enough sleep and continue to drink her medicine, then they wouldn’t have to worry more about her recovery anymore. However, Luna Savina did not want to risk it. Even though the pack doctor had given her the go signal, Luna Savina still forced her to stay in her room all day and have enough rest until she fully recovers all the power that she had lost. Luna Savina is afraid to let Raven go out while her wolf is too weak that she couldn’t even shift yet. She is afraid that something bad might happen to Raven again and this time, her wolf would be too weak to even take most of the damage for her. Although Raven feels fine and she doesn’t see any problem about
“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
