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
“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
