Chapter 38: Regret

Author: Zhen Zhen
last update Last Updated: 2025-04-30 07:00:47

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.

    “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

    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

    Raven stepped into the main hall, where sunlight streamed through the high windows and fell onto the marble floor, casting a solemn, oppressive atmosphere. The Elders were already in their seats, their expressions stern, as though a monumental decision was hanging in the air.At his arrival, they all stood and bowed in respect. Raven gave a slight nod, his sharp gaze sweeping across each familiar face before settling on the central seat at the head of the room. He walked forward, took his place, and spoke in a low, steady voice filled with authority,“What matter is so urgent that the council had to be summoned this early in the morning?”The eldest of the council, his long silver hair tied neatly back, his bearing composed and dignified, slowly stood. With hands clasped in front of him, he looked Raven directly in the eye.“Alpha, the Blood Moon Pack is at a pivotal crossroads,” he said clearly, his voice cutting through the silence. “We need a Luna.

    The tension inside the main hall was tightening like a string about to snap. Just then, a woman’s voice rang out, firm, yet carrying a gentle undertone.“That’s enough,” said lady Amanda Dermot, the council’s only female member, rising slowly to her feet. She wore a cloak of deep purple, her blonde hair neatly tied in a high bun. Her kind eyes, however, held a weight of experience that commanded attention.“We are here to discuss the future of the pack, not to drive our Alpha into a corner. Raven needs time to consider this carefully. In the end, the decision must come from his heart.”Turning to Raven, her tone softened, gentle, but unwavering.“Think it through, my son. Choosing a Luna takes more than love, it takes someone who is truly right for the role. But I trust that with your wisdom and your sense of responsibility, you won’t make the wrong choice.”No one spoke up against Amanda. Her presence alone was enough to silence the room, for now. Still, Raven k

    Raven’s footsteps echoed through the hallway leading to the servants' quarters. Each step was quick, urgent, reflecting the restlessness churning inside him.‘Cara, I’m coming for you.’‘What are you doing?’‘Please, answer me.’He reached out to her again and again through their mate bond. He knew she wouldn’t respond, but somehow, trying made the anxiety in his chest a little more bearable.He stopped in front of the last room at the end of the hall and gently pushed the door open. It wasn’t locked. Of course it wasn’t. Lock or not, he could’ve gotten in anyway.Cara was on the floor, fiddling with the familiar cleaning tools she’d used day after day.“Cara, what are you doing? Why won’t you answer me?” Raven asked, his voice rough.She didn’t reply. Didn’t even look at him. She grabbed a wooden bucket and a rag and headed for the door.Raven reached out and held her back. “You don’t have to do this anymore. You don’t belong here. Come back to o

    Cara kept her head down, eyes fixed on the floor, but inside, her emotions were in complete disarray.She couldn’t even begin to describe what she was feeling, was it bitterness? Humiliation? Or pain?She shouldn’t be feeling any of this. She should be relieved, even happy.If Raven took a Luna, maybe, just maybe, he would finally let her go, let her return to the life she truly wanted.But for some reason, her heart ached unbearably at this moment.With a quiet sigh, she stood up, picked up her cleaning bucket, and turned to leave, her steps heavy and silent.Just behind the wooden door, Raven could feel her emotional turmoil as if it were his own.Through their bond, he immediately sensed she was there, and had heard every word Draken had said.Realizing she was about to leave, Raven didn’t care that someone else was still in the room.He shot to his feet and rushed after her without a second thought.Draken was left behind, his sharp brows

    Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting golden streaks onto the young woman strolling through the ancient forest. Her jet-black hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with each step. Her gray-blue eyes, deep and mysterious, shimmered like fragments of stars scattered across the night sky. The rough animal-hide dress she wore barely covered the graceful curves of her figure.She was Cara, a lone wolf in the depths of Gloomwood Forest. No pack, no family. She had grown up alone in this vast wilderness. From the fragmented memories of her childhood, she only knew her name was Cara. She once had a mother, but her mother had died when she was too young to even remember her face.If she had been part of a pack like other werewolves, she would have been an omega - the weakest rank. She could barely shift a few times a month, and each transformation lasted no more than half an hour. An omega thrown into the wild? There was no doubt, it would be torn apart by th

    Cara felt like she was drowning in liquid amber. She had never imagined that eyes could be so captivating. She stared at him, completely mesmerized, until a deep, masculine voice echoed in her mind,‘Mate, who are you?’He wanted to know who she was. And she wanted to know who he was too. So she reached out to him, forming a mind link of her own,‘Who... are you?’It was her first time communicating with someone like this, and her thoughts felt clumsy. But this strange way of speaking fascinated her.Gray Wolf understood her meaning. He froze for a moment, realizing he didn’t know who he was, where he came from, or why he was here. His mind was blank, holding nothing but the beautiful image of her.Then he said, “I am your mate.”Cara tilted her head, looking at him with wide, innocent eyes, like a lost fawn.It took her a long moment before she hesitantly sounded out her words,"M…mate?" Her voice carried confusion.She thought “Mate” was the name of the gray wolf in front of her. So

    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
