Jericho had a serious look on his face as he walked across the packhouse to meet the Alpha. Jericho looked heavy and serious. All the omegas that he passed by could even feel the tension hanging over him.
The omegas weren’t surprised to see Celia’s protective brother looking like there was a storm cloud hanging above him. The trial just finished and they all knew what had happened to Celia during Raven’s trial. There’s no other reason for Jericho to feel this upset aside from what had happened to his sister.
Everyone knew that Jericho was there during the trial to witness Raven receive her punishment for hurting Celia. Everyone was expecting to see Raven get humiliated in public as she receives her punishment.
Who would have thought that Celia, the victim in the case is the one who will end up being humiliated publicly instead? They were never expecting for things to end up that way. They also never thought that Celia would lie and preten
Jericho immediately bowed his head before Alpha Axel when he received his order. Before he came here, he knew that asking for the Alpha’s permission to take away his sister from the packhouse wouldn’t be too hard. However, he was still surprise with how eager Alpha Axel was to see Celia gone from the packhouse.He couldn’t harbor bad feelings against him though, it was Celia who is forcing herself to be here. Celia doesn’t belong here and she is already prohibited from being here.She had already caused the packhouse too much trouble for being here, yet she’s still causing and adding more problem for the members of the packhouse.Jericho is ashamed with Celia’s actions. He hopes that she had finally woken up from her mistakes. Today, he will make sure that Celia would learn her lesson. He would never let her go back to this packhouse and do the same mistake again. Jericho wouldn’t be doing this for the pack a
Celia was frightened by her brother’s words. Jericho was about to go and pack Celia’s things so they could leave when Celia immediately grabbed him by the sleeves of his shirt to stop him from leaving.“Please don’t tell dad about this. He’d kill me if he found out about this,” Celia pleaded with fear in her eyes.Jericho felt bad for his sister when he saw her reaction. He didn’t want to use this card against her, but he thought that was the only way that he could do so that she would agree to come with him.Jericho knows exactly what type of father their father was. Beta Colton is strict towards his children. He is a strict disciplinarian who doesn’t tolerate the wrongdoings of his own children.If Beta Colton is a strict Beta of the pack, then he is a stricter father towards his children especially towards Jericho, his eldest son who would inherit his position in the future.Bet
Jericho was taken aback by his sister’s confession. He had never thought that all this time, his sister has been feeling this way. “I always felt like a nobody in our family. Father always gave you his attention. He brought you wherever he went so you could learn from him while I was always left alone at home, excluded from everything.I was just an extra child he had while you were his pride, his future beta. Father always looked upon you, he always boasted everything good about you. Dad always sees the good things about you. He always saw potential in your mistakes, but he only sees me whenever I make a mistake.”Tears welled on Celia’s eyes as she tried to keep them at bay. She doesn’t want to cry in front of her brother. She doesn’t want to appear weak in front of him. The words that she just said is supposed to be a secret that she would forever hide from her family. She always thought that if her family knew about this, they would only invalidate her feelings which would onl
Lorcan had an irritated expression on his face when he left Celia’s room so she could have a private conversation with her brother. Lorcan didn’t want to leave Celia alone with her brother knowing how Jericho is also against with their relationship, but Lorcan trusts Celia and he is simply not the controlling person in their relationship.Lorcan couldn’t forget the conversation he had with Jericho the other day which is also the same day when they saw Celia and Raven drowning in the lake. Lorcan was hoping to ask Jericho for a favor, but Jericho took it offensively knowing that he was asking him to lie to their father so he could cover up for his sister. Lorcan and Jericho’s conversation did not went well. On top of that, Lorcan wasn’t able to explain his side and tell him how serious he is with his sister because they heard a loud shriek by the lake which interrupted their whole conversation. The whole fiasco also happened after that giving them no chance to continue their convers
Lorcan scoffed. “Funny how I was supposed to tell you to stay away from my girlfriend,” Lorcan emphasized the word girlfriend causing bad goosebumps to course all over Raven’s body. Raven clenched her fist as she stared at the smug look on Lorcan’s face. He’s deliberately sticking it to her face that she is his unwanted mate just to annoy her, If Ember had only recovered, she would have howled in pain. Until now, Raven could still feel no signs of her wolf. She could just feel her recuperating at the back of her head. Raven scoffs back. “Oh I am trying so hard to keep my distance from your girlfriend but she’s always coming for me. I’m not even talking to her, I was completely ignoring her but she’s always causing trouble by going to where I was,” Raven rebutted. She couldn’t believe that he had the audacity to say those words when it’s pretty obvious that his girlfriend is the one attracting trouble. Lorcan is left speechless, having nothing to say against Raven’s words. After a
Lorcan frowned at Raven’s choice of words. “Harassment? Celia is not the type of person who will harass others. Harassment is a heavy word to use don’t you think?Celia had told me everything that happened at the bridge. She said it was all just an accident. She was afraid that you will turn things against her that’s why she lied.She lied out of fear and you knew that what happened was only an accident.”Raven sighed, until the very end Lorcan chose to defend his girlfriend and believe her lies.“Lorcan, you shouldn’t believe everything that you hear especially the words that comes from the person you knew had already lied to you,” Raven answered nonchalantly still without looking at him.Lorcan opened his mouth, about to defend Celia once again, but Raven had cut him short.“I think I should make it clear that just because I am willing to turn a blind eye in your relationship with
Celia couldn’t hide away the smile that stretched over her face after she and her brother had ended up in an agreement.Finally with her brother on her side, there will be one less problem for her to worry about. Jericho would take care of their father for her and she could finally focus on winning Lorcan’s parents and stealing the Luna title from Raven.Celia grinned. Celia’s day took down for the worst, but at least she managed to win her brother’s favor and see how far he had Lorcan wrapped around her finger.Jericho is an upright person and he holds the same values as their father. You could say that Jericho is just like Beta Colton when he was just his age. In fact, Jericho is even better than his father.Celia thought that there’s no way she could ever convince Jericho to be on her side. More especially, she had never expected him to volunteer to cover up for her and protect her from their father.
Lorcan was not expecting such extreme negative reaction from Celia when he suggested that she should reconcile with Raven. Of course, Lorcan was expecting hesitation and hostility from her, but he wasn’t expecting that she would snap at him, that she would have such violent reaction from a simple suggestion.Celia’s aura just changed. Suddenly, she is not the same woman that Lorcan has known anymore.Celia had always been the kind and gentle person that Lorcan has always known. Celia is carefree like a breeze, always in smiles, looking so innocent.The person in front of Lorcan however is different. She is still Celia, but she doesn’t feel like Celia. Her aura has changed. Lorcan could feel the amount of anger radiating off her. He had no idea that by just suggesting that she should reconcile with Raven would make her turn this angry.Lorcan was speechless as he starts to see Celia for the first time. Her hands had balled
