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
Celia couldn’t hide away the smile that stretched over her face after she and her brother had ended up in an agreement.Finally with her brother on her side, there will be one less problem for her to worry about. Jericho would take care of their father for her and she could finally focus on winning Lorcan’s parents and stealing the Luna title from Raven.Celia grinned. Celia’s day took down for the worst, but at least she managed to win her brother’s favor and see how far he had Lorcan wrapped around her finger.Jericho is an upright person and he holds the same values as their father. You could say that Jericho is just like Beta Colton when he was just his age. In fact, Jericho is even better than his father.Celia thought that there’s no way she could ever convince Jericho to be on her side. More especially, she had never expected him to volunteer to cover up for her and protect her from their father.
Lorcan was not expecting such extreme negative reaction from Celia when he suggested that she should reconcile with Raven. Of course, Lorcan was expecting hesitation and hostility from her, but he wasn’t expecting that she would snap at him, that she would have such violent reaction from a simple suggestion.Celia’s aura just changed. Suddenly, she is not the same woman that Lorcan has known anymore.Celia had always been the kind and gentle person that Lorcan has always known. Celia is carefree like a breeze, always in smiles, looking so innocent.The person in front of Lorcan however is different. She is still Celia, but she doesn’t feel like Celia. Her aura has changed. Lorcan could feel the amount of anger radiating off her. He had no idea that by just suggesting that she should reconcile with Raven would make her turn this angry.Lorcan was speechless as he starts to see Celia for the first time. Her hands had balled
Raven was just getting ready for breakfast. She already had her clothes on and was just about to leave when someone rushed in frantically. “Raven! Raven!” Raven could hear Robin already shouting her name before she could enter her room. Raven turned around and faced Robin at the door, panting. She held her knees as she chased her breath under the door frame. Raven’s brows drew together “What is it?” She asked her in concern. She walked towards Robin to help her settle down, but Robin raised her hand up refusing to move out of the doorframe.“You wouldn’t believe this,” Robin muttered in between breaths. Raven could not imagine what could be so important so early in the morning that Robin had to rush from the courtyard and all the way here into her room. Even though Robin and Wren were her attendants, they are still workers for the renovation project at the courtyard which means they had to continue their regular work there and can’t be around Raven
Wren hissed in pain and retracted her hand when she felt a sharp pain on the back of her palm. Blood trickled out of her small deep scratches because of Raven’s sharp wolfish nails. Raven finally calmed down when she had accidentally injured Wren. Her wolfish eyes turned to it’s usual black color and her nails retracted as her anger was replaced with genuine concern over Wren. She turned over to Wren with worry filling her eyes. She tried to snatch Wren’s hand to see what she had done, but Wren was so fast — she hid her hand behind her back before Raven could even see how deeply she had scratched her skin.“Raven, we should go back,” Wren stole Raven’s attention from her hand.Although her hand is stinging, and she could feel the blood forming out of it, she just ignored the pain and pretended that her hand was fine for she did not want to add into Raven’s worries.Raven stilled. A lump formed inside her throat as she stared into Wren’s soft eyes that were slig
A few months had passed since Lorcan had wrapped up his investigation. Celia was never caught for her crimes and the man that they caught had to live in shame for his entire life.Even so, Raven couldn’t bring herself to feel bad for that man. This was the path that he had chosen. He chose not to be honest with his job and take all the blame to protect Celia.He could have told them the truth, but he chose to lie and hide the truth until the very end. How could Raven pity him for what his life had become when he could have done something to avoid it?He had a bright future ahead of him, but because of his crimes, he was blacklisted and is no longer qualified to become a warrior.Just when he had only about two years left of training to be declared as an official warrior, he did a terrible mistake that ruined his future.If only he had chosen to tell the truth, he could have saved his career. However, for some reasons he still chose to be loyal to Celia until the every end.Raven wonde
“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
