At that moment, a clear yet slightly timid voice echoed in his mind,

‘Mate, that herbal pouch repels insects. If you keep it with you, you won’t have to worry about getting bitten anymore.’

The last time Cara saw Raven, she had noticed a mosquito bite on his neck. As it happened, there were a few common insect-repelling herbs growing in the backyard, so she took the time to gather and prepare them. The torn dress Raven had ripped was still lying in the room. It felt like a waste to throw it away, so she used it to sew the pouch for him. Her sewing skills weren’t great, after she finished, the stitches were crooked and uneven. It didn’t look pretty, but she believed it would work well. Compared to animal hide, the thin fabric was more breathable, which helped the herbs release their effects more effectively.

That night, as soon as Raven approached the pack house, Cara immediately sensed his presence. It had been a while since she last saw him, and she realized how much sh

  • The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion    Chapter 28: Ambition

    Raven came to a stop, his sharp brows slightly furrowed at Evelyn’s sudden appearance.“Miss Dermot, what brings you here?” he asked. His voice was a little less cold than usual, but still far from warm.Evelyn was the daughter of Amanda Dermot, a respected council member and once a close friend of his late mother. So even though Raven didn’t particularly like Evelyn, he still gave her a certain level of courtesy.Evelyn smiled gently and replied,“My mother heard you’ve been at the military camp all week. She was worried you were overworking yourself, so she asked me to check on you.”At her words, a flicker of softness passed through Raven’s heart. Ever since his mother passed away from illness, Aunt Amanda had always shown concern for him. Her care never crossed the line, but it was just enough for him to feel a hint of warmth.“I’m fine. Please tell Aunt Amanda she doesn’t need to worry.”Cara immediately noticed that Raven’s attitude toward the she-w

  • The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion    Chapter 29: Jealousy

    That night, after dealing with a pile of documents stacked high in the main hall, Raven returned to his room, his body heavy with exhaustion. He sank into a chair, took off his cloak, and his eyes unintentionally landed on the small scented pouch hanging at his waist.He’d been so busy all day that he hadn’t paid it much attention, but thinking about it now, the thing really did work wonders. It was the change of seasons, bugs were everywhere, yet not a single mosquito had bitten him all day.Raven turned the pouch over in his hand, and a faint, indescribable warmth stirred in his chest. After a brief moment of thought, he sent a servant to call Cara.He was only calling her to ask how to make the pouch, definitely not because he missed her.Cara was still sulking over the she-wolf who had shown up that morning. So when Myra came to pass along the Alpha’s message, she immediately refused.“I'm not going.”“Cara, this is an order from the Alpha. We don’t have

    Cara's movements were awkward, yet filled with urgency.She fumbled for a while before finally managing to undo Raven's belt. He watched her patiently, his gaze calm, the corners of his lips lifting into a faint smile.With his quiet cooperation, she quickly stripped off the rest of his clothes. His massive erection stood tall, pressing up against her stomach, demanding her attention.Cara dropped to her knees, took him into her mouth, and began to lick and suck with growing eagerness.Raven was completely consumed. He had to lean back against the wall just to keep himself steady. His fingers tangled in her silky black hair, gently massaging her scalp. Hatred, pride, self-control, none of it mattered anymore. In this moment, all he could see was the beautiful she-wolf kneeling before him.Time seemed to slow, and Raven grew more and more impatient with Cara’s pace, while her jaw was already aching, begging for a break.Suddenly, Raven pulled out, yanked

  • The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion    Chapter 31: Shattered

    Cara’s new day began with unwanted drama. Overnight, the entire pack house somehow found out that the Alpha had gone to her room and shown her favor, an honor so great, most wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.Cara hadn’t gone around bragging, but her mere presence, along with the Alpha’s scent still clinging to her, was more than enough to confirm it all.The moment she stepped into the communal dining hall, it was as if someone had hit the mute button. Every head turned in her direction. Some raised their brows, some smirked knowingly, but most wore twisted looks of envy. Then came the whispers behind her back.“Tsk tsk, she’s a wolf, sure, but she looks more like a sly little fox. Seducing others is what she’s best at.”“What’s so great about her? In the end, she’s just a toy. You really think the Alpha would let Genaro’s daughter become Luna?”“She’s just a lowly she-wolf. How could she ever be worthy of being the Alpha’s mate?”Cara thought she had grown

    Raven stood motionless, watching as Cara was dragged away. He lowered his eyes, masking the urgency and restlessness in their depths. As the Alpha of the pack, he couldn’t afford to be soft or let his feelings override his judgment.Only after Cara disappeared from view did he turn to see Evelyn, trembling in her drenched dress.Noticing his gaze, Evelyn stepped forward as if wanting to say something—l, but he cut her off immediately, his voice cold,“Miss Dermot, go back.”Evelyn froze, her tear-streaked face twisting for a split second, then quickly shifting to a look of wounded innocence.“Alpha…” she choked out.“This is my private space. You shouldn’t come and go as you please, it’ll cause misunderstandings.” Raven didn’t let her say another word.Because she was Aunt Amanda’s daughter, he had shown her some leniency. But that didn’t mean he welcomed her wandering freely into his territory.The cold indifference in his voice struck Evelyn like a

    Evelyn left the pack house. Although her clothes and hair were drenched, making her look a bit disheveled, she still carried herself with grace and composure.It was only when the door to her private quarters closed behind her that the anger twisted her face into a dark, bitter expression.After bathing and fixing her hair, she went straight to find her mother, Amanda Dermot.Mrs. Amanda was having afternoon tea by the living room window. When she saw her daughter approaching, she didn’t seem surprised.“You ran into trouble at the pack house, didn’t you?” Her tone was calm, as if everything had played out just as she expected.Evelyn didn’t answer immediately. She paused for a few seconds, collecting her thoughts, then said with unwavering determination,“I want to be Luna.”Amanda raised an eyebrow slightly. She set her cup of herbal tea down and turned to look at her daughter.“But Raven isn’t your fated mate. And he doesn’t love you either.”H

    Cara had always been clear-headed. The burning pain on her back made sleep impossible, so she’d noticed Raven’s presence in her shabby little room long ago.Raven knew she was aware, but what of it? Right now, she didn’t want to see him. So she shut her eyes tight, refusing to acknowledge him.He asked why she didn’t just heal herself. What a laughable question. She didn’t even bother answering. He talked as if everyone were some kind of monster like him, able to close wounds in an instant.If she were truly that strong, she would’ve already healed herself and vanished into the deep woods. She wouldn’t be lying here, bearing this physical pain.In the end, he showed a sliver of pity and had someone tend to her bloody back. The cleaning and the ointment stung, but thanks to the Moon Goddess, once it was all bandaged up, she felt much better. At least the medicated areas were cool now, no longer burning like before.Myra and the two maids had just left, but Cara co

    After it was over, Raven stood up, adjusted his clothes, and walked away without a word. Cara lay sprawled on the bed, the bandage on her back soaked with blood, and silently let her tears fall.She knew she shouldn’t cry, shouldn’t shed another tear for someone as cruel as Raven. But… just this once. Let these final tears be the farewell for the mate who was no more, for the love that had turned bitter. After today, she would let go of all distant memories, no longer hold on to any hope for the wolf who had broken her heart.Mrs. Myra pushed the door open and stepped in. She found Cara lying there naked, disheveled, the wound on her back reopened and bleeding through the gauze. With a sigh, she said,“Clean yourself up. I’ll send someone in later to re-dress your wound.”Then she bent down, picked up the shredded dress on the floor, and carried it out. Cara went through dresses too quickly, one after another ended up torn. But it wasn’t really her fault. If anyone w

    Raven's broad frame instantly loomed over Cara. He buried his face in the curve of her neck, inhaling the scent that had him completely spellbound.The most vulnerable spot was caught between his lips, and Cara immediately ceased her struggling. She knew she couldn’t fight against Raven’s strength. She accepted it, just like how she had surrendered so many times to the harsh fate life dealt her.Held captive, with no way out, she became a willing prisoner. Mocked, unable to argue back, she bowed her head and listened. Taken, unable to resist, she bore it in silence.Life had never shown her mercy, so she could only be gentle with herself.Raven could feel the artery pulsing wildly beneath Cara’s skin. One bite, and her fragile life would end right there.But how could he bring himself to do it?He pulled back his fangs, his lips trailing tender kisses across her skin. Wherever they passed, they left behind vivid marks that claimed her as his.Sensing that

    “No, you're not. You don't deserve it!” Cara shouted, not caring at all about Raven's reaction. Each word of denial from her was like a knife straight to Raven’s heart. Even without his memories, there was one truth he’d been too afraid to face: he loved Cara. He said, “No matter how much you deny it, this bond is real. We are fated mates.” Her eyes burned as she glared at him, letting out a cold laugh. “Too bad. That bond won’t exist much longer. I re—” She didn’t finish. Raven lunged forward and cut her off with a kiss. Their first kiss after two years apart came crashing down in this twisted moment. Cara fought back hard, but Raven’s arms were like iron, she couldn’t break free. She bit down on his lip with all her strength. The taste of blood quickly filled both their mouths. Raven pulled back, reaching up to touch the corner of his torn lip. Cara scrambled away, curling up in the

    Mrs. Grace worked at the weaving workshop. She was older and originally from the Dark Eclipse pack, so it was a bit difficult for her to fit in with the Blood Moon pack residents. Because of that, she hadn’t heard the rumors about Cara being kept close by Alpha Raven, nor was she aware of the complicated relationship between the two of them.She didn’t notice the change in Raven’s expression and went on talking about what had happened to Cara back in the Dark Eclipse pack.“She didn’t want to stay. She tried to run away several times, but each time she was caught. Even though she lived in the pack house, her life was no different from that of a prisoner in a dark cell. She wasn’t allowed to leave her room or talk to anyone. Every day, food and clothes were passed to her through a narrow slot under the door. She was kept like that for two whole years, until our pack came and took down Genaro.”At this point, Mrs. Grace couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “Such a poor child.

    It was late at night, and most people had already fallen asleep. Draken, Raven’s beta, was no exception.Just then, a familiar voice echoed in his mind through their mind link,‘Draken, I need you to do something for me. Right now.’The firm, familiar tone jolted Draken awake.He sat up immediately, his eyes sharp and alert, as if he hadn’t been sound asleep just moments ago.‘What is it, Alpha?’‘Find someone who used to serve in the Dark Eclipse’s pack house. The longer they worked there, and the more secrets they knew, the better. I have some questions for them.’‘Yes, Alpha.’After taking the order, Draken got up, changed into clothes, and left his room.He was the one in charge of handling the surrender and resettlement of the Dark Eclipse residents, so finding someone who matched the Alpha’s request wasn’t difficult.About half an hour later, an older she-wolf, looking nervous and fearful, followed Draken into the pack house to meet the

    Raven sank his teeth into Cara’s neck, not hard enough to hurt her, but firm enough to leave her unable to resist. The powerful aura of an Alpha poured from him, forcing her to lower her head in submission.Cara’s struggles grew weaker and weaker, until in the end, she could only lie still and accept her fate.Only then did Raven release her. He nudged her side with his snout, urging her to get up and follow him back.Cara followed without resistance, not because she was afraid, but because she knew fighting back was useless. The gap in strength between them was like heaven and earth. Rather than throwing herself into a hopeless struggle and ending up battered and bruised, she chose to submit for now and wait for the next chance to escape.Halfway back, Cara couldn’t maintain her wolf form any longer. A faint light shimmered around her, and the black wolf vanished, replaced by a beautiful, naked figure glowing under the silver moonlight.Raven also shifted back i
