Raven’s hand floated in midair when she heard Stacy’s words. This is what exactly she was afraid of. This is the reason why she was so nervous to meet the pack members. She was afraid that someone would bring out this issue and turn the crowd against her. Raven lowered her head and averted her gaze from Stacy when she started to feel the familiar gazes of disdain coming from the crowd. A slight chill rolled down her body as she felt unwelcome and hated by all the Pack members once again. It was the feeling she thought she wouldn’t have to feel again. Raven used to think that becoming the Pack’s Luna would resolve everything. She thought that once she becomes the Luna, the people would finally treat her with respect. She thought the people would finally forget the past and honor her as their Luna. However, she clearly made a wrong judgment of the situation.It seems that the people would never forget. Even if she became the Luna of their Pack, they wouldn’t treat her with respect b
Stacy’s lips curled and her face flushed red in embarrassment when Jericho had successfully rebuked her words making Stacy look like a fool in front of everybody. Stacy couldn’t help but look around her to check everybody’s reaction. She couldn’t help but feel conscious of their opinion of her especially when she saw that all their heads were downcast like they were all now starting to consider Jericho’s words. Jericho’s words made sense, when he was able to defeat Stacy’s argument, the people are now finally starting to doubt the things they believed about Raven. Stacy gritted her teeth after being defeated in her argument. “Whatever!” Stacy yelled back rowdily when she finally thought of comeback after a minor setback. “Whatever the truth was, Raven is still a murderer. If it wasn’t for her, Celia wouldn’t kill herself. A murderer shouldn’t be allowed to rule a pack, she should be placed on exile like all the other murderers!”Some of the people nodded their head as they agreed
Stacy’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she heard what Lorcan had commanded her to do. There’s no way she would apologize to Raven, ever. Over her dead body! Stacy had always looked down on Raven before. She perceives her as a she-wolf as weak as an omega who didn’t happen to have that title. There’s no way that Celia would bow herself to someone like her just because she is now the Pack’s Luna.Becoming a Luna will never change where she came from, and it will never be able to cover up for her weak roots.As a person born with Gamma genes, she won’t ask for forgiveness from someone who is way below her status. “Apologize to her, or we will meet on Trial,” Lorcan added to make Stacy realize that this is a non-negotiable matter. He wouldn’t let her go unless he heard her sincere apology. Stacy’s lips bobbed up and down like a fish, not knowing what she should tell Lorcan. With Lorcan’s furious gaze pointed down at her, she couldn’t dare go against his commands and argu
Gamma Declan looked so pissed as he stared at Lorcan with his silent, deadly gaze. Still, Lorcan held his calm and stoic demeanor even though Gamma Declan was staring right into his eyes, which meant a challenge to werewolves. Raven instinctively took a step forward, but she stopped when she realized what she was doing. She stared at Gamma Declan and then Lorcan back and forth, feeling the chilling tension arising between them. Raven held her breath and kept her hands to herself. Even if she steps in, she wouldn’t be much help. She would only be jumping in danger by intervening between them. Jericho shifted his jaw as he waited in silence. He doesn’t dare to make a move, but if one of them starts to pounce at the other, he will step in and end this before it turns into an ugly fight. It wouldn’t be suitable for the pack members to see their pack leaders, who should help each other, fighting in front of them. Jericho held himself back even though he wanted to join his Alpha. Decla
“What was wrong with you, Alpha?!” Jericho exclaimed and pushed Lorcan to the side when they were finally out of the public’s eye. Jericho pushed Lorcan to the wall by placing his arm on his chest to corner him. Lorcan did not budge; he calmly welcomed Jericho’s livid expression, willing to listen to what he had to say. Jericho felt even more angry when he received that calm, unbothered expression on Lorcan’s face. He badly wanted to punch him, hoping that he could wake some senses on him. How could he be so relaxed after using the Alpha title to bet on a fighting match?Jericho would have understood if Lorcan was going to fight someone in his match, but this is Gamma Declan that they are talking about. Everyone knows how powerful he is; they all know the rogues he has defeated in battles before. How could Lorcan be so reckless to give him the Alpha title if he wins against him?“You did not have to fight him. With the crimes that he had done, he deserved to be banished from the Pac
Lorcan's world was turned upside down when Jericho's words hit him like a ton of bricks. It was the first time in a long while that he had truly listened and understood the pain he had caused others. The realization of his mistakes was suffocating him, and he felt the weight of his guilt on his shoulders.It finally dawned on Lorcan that everything that had gone wrong was due to his own foolishness and selfishness. He had ruined everything, and his actions had caused harm to Celia. Fighting for a relationship that was inherently wrong was his biggest mistake. If only he had ended things with Celia when he found out that she wasn't his mate.It was clear to Lorcan now that the two of them were never meant to be together. By continuing their forbidden relationship, they were just going to hurt themselves and the people around them even more. Lorcan had been naive to think that love was just love. His old definition of love was shattered because true love should never harm others.The co
Every muscle in Raven’s body was coiled tight as she watched Lorcan and Declan exchange blows against one another. Lorcan is surprisingly fast, evading most of Declan’s blows. Still, with Declan’s experience in close combat, he is fast in thinking of strategies to fool Lorcan and land a serious attack on him. The crowd was silent; their teeth were gnashed together, and their eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets. The fight is fast and intense. They had been expecting an interesting show but did not expect the two opponents to have too much energy. If you blink, you’ll miss the fight. Raven’s eyes narrowed, and her breath hitched when Declan bit Lorcan’s shoulder in his wolf form, putting him out of his balance and making them fall badly on the ground. Lorcan is still in his human form, shifting quickly only when needed. Being in his human form gives him an advantage to evade Declan’s attacks in wolf form. Raven’s breath was quick and shallow when Declan had Lorcan pinned to
Lorcan sat on a wooden stool, his torso bare, revealing wounds that ran deep and jagged. Each gash and scratch looked like an emblem of his bravery after a glorious fight. His face was stoic as if he had numbed himself to the pain. Jericho stood before him, silently staring at the injuries that covered Lorcan's body. He winced, imagining the pain that must be coursing through his veins. Despite the agony, Lorcan remained calm and serene, his eyes shut as if he were in deep meditation. Jericho took a deep breath, holding back the urge to say what he was thinking. He is still mad at him for accepting Declan’s challenge and putting the Alpha title on the line. Lorcan did not have to fight Declan, but he still did. He caused this agony to himself. Jericho did not bother to break Lorcan’s peace, though. What matters is that he won the fight, and Declan did not become the Pack’s Alpha.Lorcan had no idea how much stress he had put on his Beta. He nearly joined the fight to cheat it. He h
