Because of what had happened, Raven had to end the ceremony early. She allowed the guests to leave so that she wouldn’t have to hear more hurtful words that they had to say. They all speak like Raven had actually murdered Celia when it was Celia who chose to kill herself.They were all blaming Celia’s death to her when she chose to let Celia live when she was supposed to die for the serious crimes that she had committed against her.Raven couldn’t understand how the people could rush to such conclusions. They had already forgotten about anything else. In just one night, Raven turned out to be the villain again. “H-How is she?” Raven stood up when she saw Axel, Savina, Lorcan, and Jericho along with Beta Colton who is carrying Celia’s lifeless body.Raven stared at Celia who looked so pale. Her body looked lifeless on her father’s arms. She searched for injuries, signs that she committed sucide but there was none.Raven has been waiting at the pack house’s entrance for them to arriv
Raven blinked and took a step back when all of the people inside the room turned their eyes on her. Raven tightly clenched the skirt of her white dress as her heart beated rapidly inside her chest. She tried to avoid making any eye contact with them as they stared at her with expectant gazes. Beta Colton slowly calmed down when he found out that there is still a way to save her daughter. He unclenches the collar of the pack doctor and dropped him to the ground. “What do you mean?” Alpha Axel was the first one who spoke and broke the silence. “How can the Luna’s blood save Celia?”The pack doctor who blurted out the solution to save Celia’s life stared at Alpha Axel with wide eyes and almost looked like he would piss in fear. He has been afraid ever since he had entered the room. This is the first time he has been with so many powerful and deadly people in one small enclosed space. When he saw Beta Colton hold one of his colleagues by the collar, he was instantly frightened for his
Jericho clenched his jaw as he stared at Lorcan and her sister’s hand clasped together. He wanted to rip their hands apart and drag Lorcan out of the room. Jericho thinks that Lorcan doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near his sister after everything that he had done. Lorcan wasn’t even there during his sister’s trial. He promised him that he would only have his sister as his only mate and Luna, yet he had marked Raven in front pf everyone and chose her as his Luna. He is the reason why Celia killed herself. He shouldn’t have courted her and made her fall in love with him if he is not going to choose her in the end. He should have broke up with her properly before things turned as serious as this. It was Lorcan and Raven who drove his sister to suicide, and he hated it that this man is here like he actually cared and he loathed it that his sister had to rely on Raven’s blood to live. If Celia is awake right now, she wouldn’t like this situation either. However, Jericho would rather le
The pack has never been the same ever since Celia was brought to the packhouse for recovery. Everything started to revolve around Celia, everyone could not stop thinking and worrying about Celia. They are all anxious in waiting for her to wake up. Axel and Savina never missed Celia a day of visit. Every morning and every evening, they would enter Celia’s room to check on her and her family. Just like everybody else, the two of them also secretly felt guilty for what Celia had done to herself. Just like the rest of them, they also believed that they were the ones who pushed Celia to make such a decision. If only they had dealt with her in a more responsible way, then they would have persuaded her to leave Lorcan alone without breaking her to the point of making her think that it was better for her to die, than to continue to live. There were many ways that they could have handled the situation better. They couldn’t help but also blame themselves for what happened to Celia. Celia
A month later…Raven raised her lazy eyes from the scattered papers lying on her desk when someone entered her office. When she saw that it was Jericho, she straightened on her seat and gave him her full attention. Whatever Beta Beta Jericho has to say must be so important for him to personally visit Raven’s office. In the past few weeks that she and Beta Jericho were working together, Raven couldn’t help but notice that Beta Jericho is secretly trying to avoid her. He only talks to her when it is absolutely needed. It was obvious that Beta Jericho still has some hard feelings towards Raven. So apart from pack matters, they never talked about anything else. Raven couldn’t understand why Beta Jericho has not yet forgiven her when she is the reason why his sister is still alive. Without her blood, Celia wouldn’t even last for a second. Above all, she couldn’t see why Beta Jericho hates her in the first place. Still, Raven couldn’t make herself be mad at Beta Jericho for hating her
Raven kept her fingers crossed as she told Sebastian about the calamity that their Pack is facing. She told him about the unexpected Winter and explained how they needed food right now. Although they could always hunt for food, they still needed grains, fruits and vegetables especially to keep the young pups of their pack healthy. Aside from that they also need herbs for the sick members of their Pack. Their stock herbs are also running low too. With the cold weather, a lot of pack members are getting sick since they are not used to the extreme cold. They can’t live by just relying on hunted meat. Since it’s winter, they have no crops to harvest and they can’t forage for herbs, fruits and vegetables. Raven needed someone else who would supply their needs. “I know it’s too much to ask, Sebastian,” Raven spoke with great shame. “Any kind of help will do as long as I can find a way to increase our food’s supply.”Raven hasn’t even finished talking yet, but Sebastian had already summo
When Raven heard that Sebastian is going to arrive today to give the supplies that she had asked for, Raven hurriedly left the packhouse to welcome Sebastian and the members of his Pack at their Pack’s borders. Raven woke up at dawn and waited by the Pack’s borders to ensure that she would be there when Sebastian arrives. She misses Sebastian so much, it’s been so long since they had last been together, and now they can finally meet each other. She hopes that Sebastian would stay with them for at least a few days because after this, she doesn’t know when they are going to meet again. Raven is busy with the Pack, and until Celia hasn’t recovered and waken up from being comatose, she doesn’t think she would be able to leave the Pack. Sebastian is also busy with his Pack just like Raven. He is also handling two jobs at once since his Pack doesn’t have a Luna. Raven understands how hard it is to fulfill two roles at once, especially two huge roles that plays a crucial role for the Pack
Raven’s heart quickened inside her chest as she gets further away from the pack borders, and closer to the main center of their Pack.It’s been so long since Raven has last visited the Pack’s main center. Ever since Raven moved to the Packhouse, she had never set foot on the main center. Raven pursed her lips tightly at the thought of meeting their Pack members. Except for Celia, Raven doesn’t have any other friends. She also can’t think of any particular people that she could say she was well acquainted to. She was just a nobody in their Pack, they always just ignored her presence. As werewolves, their Pack only valued strength and power. Although Raven is not particularly weak, it did not help that she was not an original member of a Pack. It is known that werewolves hated rogues, and since Raven was found outside their Pack, she was considered an adopted rogue. Since she is not as weak as an omega, the pack members just ignored her, although there were still some who bullied her
“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
