Tonight was supposed to be his mating ceremony with Evelyn, and yet, he was here, kissing her.She felt a bit awkward, her body stiff, neither pushing him away nor responding.But then her thoughts drifted to the escape she had planned for tonight.This might be their last kiss, the last time they could be this close.A bitter ache rose in her chest, tightening her heart.Maybe… just this once, she could allow herself to let go.

The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 50: Severing the Bond
Under the vast night sky, a full moon hung high, casting a silver glow across the territory of the Blood Moon pack.The central plaza before the pack house was surrounded by blazing torches, illuminating the night in golden firelight.The steady rhythm of ceremonial drums echoed through the air, mingling with the haunting melody of flutes that danced on the night breeze. Thick clouds of fragrant smoke rose from ancient bronze incense burners, filling the air with a heady, intoxicating scent that cloaked the space in a sacred, timeless atmosphere.The high-ranking wolves of the pack had gathered, all dressed in traditional ceremonial robes, seated in neat rows with solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the altar ahead.On the stage stood two ancient stone pillars, carved with the majestic insignia of the Blood Moon pack. Between them hung a wreath of laurel, woven from mint leaves, ivy vines, and white roses, symbolizing the sacred union of two destined souls. From

The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 48: Determination
As the first rays of sunlight streamed across the Blood Moon Pack’s territory, Cara slowly stirred awake from a deep, dreamless sleep. For a moment, she lay there, disoriented, until full awareness returned and she realized the space beside her was empty. The lingering warmth and scent of Raven still clung to the bed, wrapping around her like an invisible chain.Cara reached out, her fingers brushing the pillow he had used, still faintly warm. A brief flicker of confusion crossed her eyes. She hadn’t expected to fall asleep in his arms last night, safe, warm, undisturbed, just like when they used to share that cave together.“You are the mate I truly want to be with, forever.”Raven’s words echoed once again in her mind, earnest and sincere. Her heart clenched. But… she couldn’t forgive him. The wolf she once loved no longer existed, and she couldn’t allow herself to hold on to someone who had once treated her so cruelly.Though Cara had little experience with the ou
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 47: Compromise
In the days that followed, a heavy tension settled over the pack house, so thick it felt like it could be sliced into pieces. The Council repeatedly requested private meetings with Raven, each time emphasizing the urgency of choosing a Luna for the pack.“Alpha, a pack cannot go too long without a Luna,” Elder Hector said, his voice low but firm. “The she-wolves are growing restless. They need a figure to look up to, a symbol to steady their hearts.”“Evelyn Dermot is the most reasonable choice,” another elder added. “She’s intelligent, comes from a good bloodline, and most importantly, she’s always been loyal to the pack.”Raven sat motionless in the Alpha’s chair, his cold gaze fixed on the large window. Outside, a massive oak tree swayed gently, its peaceful green canopy a stark contrast to the storm raging inside his chest.Every time he thought of Cara, of compromising with the council and bonding with another she-wolf, Raven felt as if an invisible hand was tig
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 46: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
In a secluded courtyard inside the pack house, a man and a woman stood facing each other, he, handsome and imposing; she, elegant and composed. But deep within their gazes, turbulent undercurrents churned.Draken clenched his fists at his sides, his voice low and restrained, as if suppressing a storm of emotions.“Evelyn, is that truly the path you want to take?”Evelyn was silent. She lowered her eyes, hiding the fierce turmoil within. After a few moments, she looked up at him and replied calmly,“Yes.”Draken’s brows drew together tightly. He stepped closer, his deep black eyes locking onto hers, pressing her with his stare.“Even knowing it won’t bring you happiness?”Evelyn tilted her chin slightly, meeting his burning gaze, forcing herself to stay steady.“How could it not? Any she-wolf would be happy to become a Luna.”A bitter, raspy laugh escaped Draken. He shook his head, pain evident in every hard line of his face.“Evelyn, stop lyin
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 45: Evelyn’s Suggestion
Evelyn had always been well aware of the predicament Raven had been facing these past few days. After all, the chaos wasn’t random, it was the result of her mother’s behind-the-scenes efforts, all aimed at clearing the path for Evelyn to become the Luna of the Blood Moon pack.Her mother had done so much for her. Now that they were just one step away from success, Evelyn had to do her part to ensure nothing went wrong.Beneath the soft golden light of the guest lounge, Raven walked in with a cold air about him. Evelyn Dermot had been waiting, a proper, gentle smile on her lips. Yet, there was a trace of weariness on her face, as if she, too, had been enduring tough days.Raven barely glanced at her, his gaze indifferent and distant. He didn’t bother to hide his displeasure, and the aura of an Alpha unconsciously seeped from him, making it hard for Evelyn to stay composed. She clenched her hands under the folds of her gown, but her face remained calm and steady.“You
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 44: Congratulations
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
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 43: Guilt
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
The Captive Luna: A Potion of Oblivion Chapter 42: Duty to the Pack
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
