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 hâLuna we found them!â 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. Sheâs 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. âWhere is Ruston?â Raven asked when she finally saw Lorcan, but couldnât find her son around. Fear gripped her heart, thinking if Lorcan had failed to save their son if her sonâs
âA Lunarborn, I never thought I would ever see a Lunarborn in the flesh,â A man spoke not far from them, stealing Ravenâs attention.âItâs true what they said then. The Nightshade Pack was attacked by rogues because they are looking for the Lunarborn wolf,â Declan added as he came forward with his daughter beside him and an unknown man behind them. Raven smirked. Itâs 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.âThey say a drop of blood of Lunarborn is enough to strengthen a weak werewolf. I wonder if that is true,â 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 didnât 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. Lorcanâs heart is filled with guilt as he blames himself for everything. Meanwhile, Raven couldnât forget Lorcanâs words during the conversation he had with Luna Savina. Lorcanâs 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
Lorcanâs 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 Celiaâs fake appearances and see through her deception and lies. A whirlwind of emotions swept through Lorcanâs 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 couldnât speak. Even though he was also a victim of Celiaâs schemes, he still couldnât help but feel that he was partly responsible for failing to recognize Celiaâs 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 canât 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 Lorcanâs 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 peopleâs lies other than the genuine feelings and actions that Lorcan had shown her. Luna Savina scoffed mockingly when she heard Lorcanâs reply. âAre you saying that you realized you love her because of the mate bond?â 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 Savinaâs 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. âMother, you called for me,â 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 itâs 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 motherâs side to help her when she tried to force herself up. He placed a guiding hand behind her back to lift her up. âIs everything alright?â Lorcan asked her in a soft whisper.Lorcanâs eyes discreetly searched around, hoping to see Raven. The omega told her that Raven w
Raven havenât 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 Savinaâs health. Itâs 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 didnât contain any poison. Luna Savina doesnât 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
âLuna Savina,â Raven barged into Luna Savinaâs 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 Savinaâs room since she was the person that is in the most danger right now. âRaven,â Luna Savina smiled at her. âYou came right in time.âRaven ignored her words. She rushed towards her and knelt right in front of her. âLuna, are you okay? Do you feel hurt anywhere?â Raven asked her with brows creased together. She touched her forehead to check her temperature and placed two fingers on Luna Savinaâs wrist to check her overall health. âWhatâs wrong, Raven?â Luna Savina asked her softly with how she was fussing over her. She couldnât help but feel worried about her instead because of how concerned she was with her. Raven didnât reply. She listened closely to Luna Savinaâs pulse and checked her vitality. âIâm 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 wouldnât play along with her tricks.âThereâs actually something that I need help with. Itâs about work, can you do it for me?â 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. âI canceled all my work today, Celia. I already scheduled the whole day for my sons. Canât this wait tomorrow?â 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
