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 balledRaven 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
Who would have thought that even though the omegas are at the bottom of the status hierarchy, and had experienced bullying and discrimination above them, they would still bully someone who is in the same status as them just because they were slightly weaker and unprivileged than them?Raven thought that all omegas treats each other like friends and family. In the packhouse, she had seen omegas always being in the same page, supporting the same person and having the same opinion.However, in their solidarity they had purposely left Kissa out who they consider as someone weaker than them.Raven could still remember the poor state that Kissa was in when she had saved her from a group of bullies.It was evening when she met her, a time when everyone was supposed to be in their homes.Raven never goes outside the packhouse at night, so they only encountered each other by chance.At that time, Raven stayed overtime at the courtyard just to finalize some touches. Raven rarely go overtime for
Raven supervised the whole project from end to finish. Now, she is down to the last step. She is finally supervising the omegas as they placed the newly arrived furniture to its proper place in the courtyard. Everyone worked in harmony and speed, they were all just excited to finish what they were all doing so they could finally rest and celebrate their accomplishment. They were all looking forward to the party that they were all going to have after this which they all well deserved for the good work that they have done.In order to thank everybody for their efforts, Raven prepared a huge celebratory party for their months of hard work before and to have one last hurrah before they all separate in their own ways. Two months felt like just two days for Raven. She couldn’t believe that this would be the last day she would be working with these people. Raven would miss them all, they had all grown in her heart in the days that they had been together. She couldn’t believe that this wo
Kissa, Robin, and Wren shared a surprise look with each other when they heard Luna Savina’s words as they placed food on their table.Their hands even paused momentarily as they absorbed the weight of the responsibility that Luna Savina was trying to pass on to Raven. Even though the Luna is passing the responsibility unto Raven, they still felt equally nervous and afraid as Raven. Handling the schedule and the accommodation for their special guests woukd surely not be easy. What’s more than that was they can’t afford to make any mistakes.The name of the pack is at stake here.One mistake and they will bring shame to the pack. Their guests won’t just be any guests, they will be having Alphas and Lunas from all the other packs staying with them. How could Luna Savina entrust this huge responsibility to Raven who has no experience in things like this?A task as risky as this should be something that Luna Savina must handle herself. Why is she passing the responsibility to Raven agai
Raven wore her best smile as she welcomed their pack’s guests for the werewolf assembly. She looks elegant and confident with her white off dress which complements her porcelain skin and contrasts with her dark orbs, and midnight hair.Raven’s dress is tight fitted which fits her body like a glove. It accentuated her curves at the right places, showing her slim waist, wide hips and her pronounced chest.Raven looked classy with her clean makeup and classic red lipstick. She also had long gold earrings on giving her that classy timeless lookWith her practiced smile, straight posture and the way she formally held herself together, no one could ever guess how much she was dying of nervousness on the inside.Despite how classy and elegant Raven looked, she still doesn’t feel confident of herself she just pretends to be.Raven’s palms were cold and sweaty as her heart pounded rapidly in her chest. Raven is a
Raven did not bother to make things less awkward between her and Lorcan. She allowed silence to rule over them as they went on with their task of welcoming the guest.Lorcan didn’t seem to mind Raven’s silence either. Even though they were next to each other, they pretended not to see each other.Raven looked at anywhere except Lorcan. She had a tensed expression on her face which tells a lot on how she doesn’t like to be standing there next to Lorcan, forced to do this task with him.Lorcan on the other hand, has no idea about what Raven is feeling, or maybe he was just being oblivious about it.When a guest entered the packhouse, Raven’s expression changed instantly as she forced a practiced smile on her face.“Welcome!” Lorcan and Raven spoke simultaneously with equal smiles on their faces as they faced the new visitor.Raven’s smile turned stiff as she glanced back at Lorc
“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
