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
Raven stood up from her seat when Celia entered their private room. Celia had no idea that it was Raven who came to meet her. She thought it was the Alpha or Luna or both. She doesn’t care who appears to meet her, as long as it was one of them. She only came here for one purpose and that is to convince them to let her and Lorcan be together. Raven’s heart twisted inside her chest when she saw Celia’s state. Celia was drenched wet, her skin and lips were sickly pale and her whole body is trembling in cold as she clutches on to the warm blanket that is wrapped around her. As Raven looks at her, she also noticed the drastic changes in her body. Celia has become thinner than the last time she saw her, signs that she hadn’t been eating well. There were also deep bags under her swollen eyes, signs that she is not getting enough sleep and that she has been crying recently. Raven immediately felt guilty as she blamed herself for what happened to her. If only she did not turned out to be
Celia looks at Raven in disdain. She couldn’t believe how worthless and weak Raven is. She couldn’t reject her mate, nor could she survive as a rogue. How can someone as weak as her be chosen by the moon goddess as their Luna?Celia scoffs and rolled her eyes at Raven. “You are just making excuses because you don’t want to give up the Luna position.Of course what should I expect from you. Anyone in your state would be reluctant to give up their power once they finally have a taste of it. Stop lying to me that you never want this. I know you enjoyed the whole thing as well.”Raven lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Enjoy? How could she enjoy this new life? Ever since she became Lorcan’s mate and was proclaimed as the future Luna of the Moonvalley Pack, everyone hated her and she was almost killed by her own mate.Why would she enjoy this new life?“Celia, if only I can do it I really will do it, but how can I do it if it will cost me my life? Celia, I do not want to die.” Raven a
