Celia had a celebratory smile on her face as she climbed onto her bed. Tonight is the best night of her life. To make this night more special, she prepared herself a nice warm bath. She even used her fragrant body oils and worn her most comfortable silk clothes before sleeping on her freshly cleaned bed. She will have the most restful sleep in her life and she’s going to dream of good dreams and wake up with the good news. This is the night that Celia had been waiting for and she deserves to celebrate it big time. While she is resting in her room making her night extra special, Raven will be locked up in her room with Alpha Grant suffering the worst and traumatizing part of her life. Next day when everybody wakes up, everyone will find out what happened last night and they will all think that Raven had slept with Alpha Grant even though she is mated to the future Alpha and is technically a future Luna of a pack. Everybody will despise Raven and the reputation that she worked hard
Sebastian knew he wasn’t alone when he saw the tension and the worry etched on every guest’s face when he came out of his room to eat breakfast. Just like everyone else, Sebastian also heard about what had happened to Raven last night. Rumors and gossips always spread around as fast as fire and its no different for them werewolves. Sebastian is not sure what had happened exactly, but they all know that Raven was nearly harmed last night and that someone had planned to harm her. Two names were mentioned last night aside from Raven’s. Names Alpha Grant and Celia were mentioned as well and according to the news, both of them were locked in the dungeon for trying to harm Raven.Upon hearing Alpha Grant’s name, anyone could already guess what could have happened to Raven last night. With Alpha Grant’s infamous reputation about coveting beauties and his methods on having them, their first guess was that Alpha Grant might have attempted to harm Raven sexually. Even Sebastian’s hunch is al
Raven woke up feeling lightheaded. There was still some ringing in her ears but it’s nothing compared to what her body was like before she went to sleep last night. Raven winced as she pushed herself up, familiarizing herself with her surroundings. She was confused to find herself inside her familiar old room in the pack house.She doesn’t know how she ended up in her old room. The last thing she could remember before passing out was Lorcan carrying her protectively in his arms. Raven slept like a baby feeling safe in Lorcan’s arms. She did not bother to fight the poison, confident that her mate would protect her. Raven couldn’t remember the last time she had slept in this room. When she was done renovating the pack courtyard, she decided to move there so she wouldn’t have to see Lorcan or Celia and cross paths with them again. Raven had avoided the pack house as much as she could. She did that to guard her heart and to protect herself from the emotional pain that seeing Lorcan an
Sebastian held a cold countenance as he entered Raven’s room. Sebastian had always held a blank expression on his face so it didn’t mean anything negative to his part. Seeing him with a firm expression wasn’t anything unusual. Raven turned around when she heard the door of her room open. She gave Sebastian a small smile when she saw him enter. That small smile of hers was enough to break the cold expression on Sebastian’s face. “Are you okay? What do you feel now?” Sebastian asked Raven worriedly as he walked towards her. Raven was surprised when he lifted up her hand and placed two fingers on top of her wrist. Raven remained silent as she watched Sebastian do his thing. She did not know that Sebastian has knowledge about this kind of things. Sebastian’s whole body relaxed when he saw that Raven’s vitals were fine and there is nothing bad with her that he had to be worried about.He lifted his gaze back on Raven noticing her pale lips and tired eyes. Even though she did not suffe
“Sir Lorcan, the result of the investigation is out.” Lorcan’s whole body tensed when he heard the news that his loyal guard has for him. Lorcan was restless as he waited for the investigation’s result to come out. Now that the results are finally here, he couldn’t help but feel afraid for what he is going to find. Lorcan swallowed hard as he mustered his courage to face him. “What did you find out?” Lorcan asked with his heart pounding inside his ears. Lorcan left Raven so early in the morning while she was still asleep to make sure that he would be the first to know the result of the investigation.Lorcan wanted to stay with Raven, to make sure that he would be there for her when she wakes up, however, he has to know the results of the investigation first before his father finds out the truth. Fortunately for Lorcan, one of the pack guards that Alpha Axel had assigned to handle the investigation is very close to him.When Lorcan asked him to report to him as soon as he finds out
Celia sat on the cold hard floor with emptiness in her eyes. She’s been locked up in the dungeon for hours waiting for Lorcan or for anybody who cared about her to visit her. However, she only got tired of waiting. She sat on the ground, clothed with the dungeon’s darkness and surrounded by emptiness, without anything that could help her tell the time. Without any windows or means for her to see what’s outside, she couldn’t tell if it was still evening or already morning. She couldn’t tell how long she has been locked up inside the dungeon. Celia’s face instantly lighted up when she heard metals clanking from afar which is a sign that someone’s coming in to meet her. Celia immediately stood up to rush towards the person who came to visit her. However, she winced when she felt both of her legs cramp from sitting too long on the cold hard floor. “Celia?” Celia’s face brightened up when she heard Lorcan’s familiar voice. She knew that Lorcan would visit her, but she wasn’t expectin
Lorcan felt tightness in his chest as he starts to finally see who Celia really is. Receiving this kind of response from her made him feel sick.Not only did Celia not feel any remorse for the sick plan that she had for Raven, but she is also so unashamed to even ask him to meddle with the investigation, tamper with the evidence just to let her get away of her punishment. Lorcan understands that Celia doesn’t like Raven because she is standing in between them, keeping them from being together. However, how could she just do all that without even a bit of remorse in her. She doesn’t look like she was forced to do this. She just really wanted to harm Raven. Lorcan stared at Celia’s hardened gaze no knowing what to think about her. Doesn’t she have any conscience? Doesn’t she even feel bothered for asking him to betray his father’s trust and a commit a crime just for her, just so she could get away with the consequences of the action she made while she was in a completely right state
Lorcan had just left the dungeon. He hasn’t even had the time to collect his feelings together and allow his mind to grasp what had just happened between him and Celia when his father’s booming voice called out to him in the pack link, commanding him to visit his office right away.Dread gripped Lorcan instantly when he heard how angry his father is. Alpha Axel has always been known for his long patience. Alphas rarely have short patience, yet Alpha Axel is a kind of person who wouldn’t yell at anybody unless he was deeply provoked.Not knowing what his father is angry about, he rushed to his father’s office, instantly forgetting what had just happened in the dungeon as he wondered what his father is deeply troubled about.Lorcan’s fingers turned cold as he wondered if his father had found out about what he did, trying to keep the result of the investigation a secret from him.Lorcan wasn’t planning to h
