Raven did not bother to make things less awkward between her and Lorcan. She allowed silence to rule over them as they went on with their task of welcoming the guest.
Lorcan didn’t seem to mind Raven’s silence either. Even though they were next to each other, they pretended not to see each other. Raven looked at anywhere except Lorcan. She had a tensed expression on her face which tells a lot on how she doesn’t like to be standing there next to Lorcan, forced to do this task with him. Lorcan on the other hand, has no idea about what Raven is feeling, or maybe he was just being oblivious about it. When a guest entered the packhouse, Raven’s expression changed instantly as she forced a practiced smile on her face. “Welcome!” Lorcan and Raven spoke simultaneously with equal smiles on their faces as they faced the new visitor. Raven’s smile turned stiff as she glanced back at Lorc“She’s my mate,” Lorcan spoke in a deep voice his arm around Raven tightening to show the guy who just hit on Raven that she already belonged to him. Raven couldn’t believe the words that escaped Lorcan’s mouth. She glanced up at him in surprise and her heart skipped a beat when she saw how serious he was. Raven gulped as she continued to stare at Lorcan with her eyes still wide in disbelief. Lorcan just called her as his mate for the first time, and he doesn’t look fazed by it. By the way that he was holding her close to him, you could tell how serious and genuine he is. There’s no way that he’s just putting up an act right now.Raven could even feel jealousy dripping off Lorcan just because there was someone else hitting up on her. “S-she’s your mate?” The stocky man stuttered as he looked at Lorcan and Raven back and forth with a confused expression. Raven finally blinked and averted her gaze from Lorcan when she had realized that she has been ogling at him. Their guest’s word
Lorcan’s furious gaze trailed Alpha Grant’s back as he watched him enter the packhouse to mingle with their other guests. Lorcan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he watched Alpha leave just like that as if nothing had happened.What infuriates him even more is the fact that it was Raven who allowed Alpha Grant to leave just like that without letting him suffer for the consequences of his actions.Raven could have forced out an apology out of him, yet not only did she bother asking for his apology, she also made an escape for him so he wouldn’t have to suffered any minute more of humiliation and embarrassment for his stupid actions. A stormy cloud glowered upon Lorcan’s face. If Raven didn’t want his apology, then she should have at least allowed him to punish Alpha Grant for his actions.Why did she had to step in and stop him when he was just about to teach that bastard a lesson?Alpha Grant had already disrespected Raven enough through his perversive actions, and now he
Lorcan fell quiet when Raven yelled her question. Lorcan knew he had always been an asshole, but he doesn't know how much of an asshole he was until now. Lorcan was silenced. His anger had evaporated away and his face softened when he saw tears sprang out of Raven's eyes. Tears that were caused certainly not by sadness, but by her putrid anger.Raven hid her face from Lorcan when she felt her hot tears that welled in her eyes. She's not going to cry in front of this asshole who did nothing but hurt her when he was supposed to protect her, cherish her and love her.No, Lorcan doesn't deserve her tears. She shouldn't shed a tear even if it was caused by the immense anger burning inside her heart. Lorcan felt guilty. He has never felt so ashamed and so guilty as he do now in his entire life.He wanted to run and hide his face away from Raven in shame, but at the same time he is feeling that strong urge of wrapping his arms around Raven and pressing her head close to his chest while hus
“Is there anything wrong?” Raven and Lorcan was in the middle of a heated argument when Celia stepped in between them with a concerned look on her face.Actually, Celia had entered the party a while back and was just watching the two having a heated argument with each other.Celia did not bother to step in and stop them, she wanted to brew their hatred much longer.When she saw that their argument is dying down, she finally came to interrupt them.Celia’s straight brows furrowed together as she gently touched Lorcan’s arm to calm him.Lorcan took a sharp intake of breath when he felt Celia’s hand above his shoulder. They were just having an argument because of her.Lorcan glanced at Celia over his shoulder and gave her a smile to ease her worries. He doesn’t want her to find out that they were just fighting about her.Raven felt a pang in her chest when she saw how the two looked so sweet together. She didn’t say anything for she did not want to cause trouble.Lorcan hastily removed C
The young Alpha was talking to another Alpha of a pack when he finally saw his chance to steal a conversation with Raven.When he saw that Raven is finally free to talk to, he wasted no time to stop his current conversation so she could rush to Raven's side."Excuse me for a moment," the young Alpha spoke abruptly. He even raised his hand slightly to stop the Alpha from talking.The Alpha who was interrupted in the middle of what he was saying just pursed his lips when he suddenly told him to stop while he was talking nicely.He clearly felt offended by what the young Alpha had done. Thankfully, he was understanding and has long patience and he did not take his actions to heart.The young Alpha's beta who came with him to the party and was listening to their conversation almost paled in shock when he saw what his Alpha just did.The young Alpha just started a conversation with that guest. He just had his turn to talk and he just outrightly interrupted him and told him to stop.Is he o
Raven squinted his eyes at Alpha Sebastian. How did he noticed that she was in a bad mood when she was wearing her perfect practiced smile and giving off her sweet natural sounding laugh?Of all the people in here, only he noticed that she was in a bad mood.Raven couldn't help but feel that something is off with this guy. Ever since he came to approach her and immediately recognized her by her name, she knew that there is something more about him than what meets the eye.Of all the people in the party, only him approached her and only him recognized and knew her name from the start."Have we met before?" Raven raised an eyebrow at him.Sebastian lowered his gaze as he thought about it carefully. "Are you someone I should have met before?" Sebastian asked her back.Raven tilted her head. He did not answer her question, but he is right. Sebastian is an Alpha from a different pack and she was just an average werewolf member of a different pack.There's no way that she and Sebastian ha
Sebastian was surprised to find out that Raven is actually an orphan abandoned by the woods. He had never thought that Raven doesn’t even belong as a rightful member of her pack. She was just a member adopted into the pack after they had rescued her in the woods. “Well, that’s my story,” Raven chuckled lightly and gave Sebastian a smile when she saw his reaction. Raven always felt uncomfortable whenever she would tell someone about her past and how she was not a natural member of her own pack. However, telling her story to Sebastian did not make her feel as uncomfortable as she thought she would.She didn’t squirm in her seat, she didn’t make so many pauses while talking. She surprisingly did not even pause at all.Without her worries and fears of being judged by her past, Raven was able to tell her story fluidly.Which was strange really because how could she trust a stranger just like that. How could she tell her most sensitive past to an Alpha who could have used that knowledge
Sebastian has been thinking of the possibility that Raven is his lost sister. If she was his sister, it would explain why he felt a strange and familiar bond with Raven when she is a complete stranger to him. When he found out that Raven was an orphan rescued from the woods, his instincts heightened even more.He couldn’t shake the thought that what if Raven, the person that is in front of him is his missing sister that he has been looking for years?Raven even matches the age of his lost sister and she was found abandoned by the woods, someone must have left her there.Sebastian tightened his jaw as he fought the urge to tell Raven what he is thinking. He wants to tell her that he thinks she was his missing sister, but he doesn’t want to bring both their hopes up when they were unsure of everything.There are still lots of questions left unanswered. How could they verify that Raven is his sister when he just match some of the things that had happened.For all they know, things could
