~~~~~"leave subject A997. It seems she is to return to the mortal realm. I just hope she has enough zeal to do so..."~~~~~Killian's POVOlivia merely shrugged off my hand, her eyes blazing with fury. "Fine," she spat, turning on her heel and storming out of the cafe.As I watched Olivia's retreating figure, frustration and anger bubbled up inside me. Her behavior was completely unacceptable, and I knew I couldn't let it go unchecked.Turning back to Dr. Hayes, I offered her an apology. "I'm sorry you had to witness that, Dr. Hayes. Olivia can be… difficult."Dr. Hayes nodded sympathetically, her expression softening. "It's quite alright, Alpha Killian. I understand. Not to mention I deal with psycho patients." "Thank you for your understanding. I hope this hasn't soured our business."Dr. Hayes shook her head, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Not at all, Alpha Killian. I'm here to help Lucienne, regardless of any distractions."Relief flooded through me at her wor
Killian's POVAs I sat in the car, waiting impatiently for any news on Lucienne's condition, my mind raced with worry, fear, and anticipation. Each passing moment felt like an eternity as I anxiously awaited any updates from Dr. Hayes.Finally, my phone rang, breaking the tense silence of the car. With trembling hands, I answered the call, my heart pounding in my chest."Alpha Killian, it's Dr. Hayes," came the voice on the other end of the line, filled with urgency. "I heard you came to visit. my apologies, I couldn't let you in at the time. I've finished my session with Lucienne. We need to talk immediately. Should I come to the pack house?"Relief flooded through me at her words, but the fact that I couldn't detect any emotion in her voice doubled my worry. Though whatever news she had to share, I knew it would be important. "I'm still at the hospital. I'll join you soon," I replied without hesitation. I climbed out of the car and headed into the hospital, my mind racing with thoug
~~~~~"You have to return, child. This is not the place for you..."~~~~~Killian's POVLucienne’s words haunted me and with a heavy heart, I drove aimlessly through the streets of the pack. I eventually parked the car at the pack house and then decided to go for a walk. The night air was cool against my skin as I navigated through the familiar streets, seeking solace in the rhythm of my footsteps.Eventually, I found myself on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the moonlit forest. Without hesitation, I stepped out onto the forest floor, letting the familiar sights and sounds of the wilderness wash over me then I changed into my wolf. With each leap, I felt the tension in my muscles melt away, replaced by the feeling of calm and clarity. My first stop was at the moon river, saying a quick prayer to the Goddess on Lucienne'a state then I decided to patrol the whole pack before heading back home. As I reached the borders of our territory, I paused, inhaling
~Killian~"Something that would make everyone hate him, that's for sure," I replied, my tone heavy with resolve. "But we need to be strategic about it. We can't afford to make any mistakes."Nicholas nodded in agreement, his gaze steely as he absorbed my words. "So, what's the plan?" he pressed, his eagerness palpable.I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I formulated a strategy. "First, we need to pile up the gathered evidence," I began, my mind already whirring with possibilities. "We'll compile everything we have on Daniel's actions, including the rogue attack tonight. Then, we'll present our findings to the Alpha council."Nicholas raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "And what if they don't believe us?" he asked, voicing the concern that lingered in both of our minds.I shrugged, a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips. "Then we'll make them believe us," I declared, my confidence unwavering. "We'll play the game, Nicholas. We'll use every trick in the book to ensure
~Lucienne~“Why are you sending me back?” I sobbed, my hands on my folded knees as I looked up to our creator. “I'm not sending you back, child. You just… never truly left them,” The goddess wiped my tears. “Not to mention, there's someone waiting for you out there.”“ Who? Killian? Didn't he die from the attack?” “He was saved on time and he's waiting for you to wake up and recognize him. “ Is he my… mate?” I asked with a held breath but she just chuckled and gave me a peck on the forehead.“Return, child. All will be known in due time.”As I stirred from the depths of unconsciousness, my eyelids fluttered open, and the harsh brightness of the hospital room assaulted my senses. Blinking away the haze, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The sterile scent of disinfectant filled the air, mingling with the faint beeping of machines nearby. My head throbbed with dull pain, and I gingerly touched the bandage wrapped around it.Tears stung at the corners of my eyes as the memorie
~Lucienne~ A lady arrived moments later, her expression a mix of concern and professionalism as she approached my bedside. "Lucienne. I'm Doctor Hayes. How are you feeling?" she asked, her voice gentle yet authoritative. "I'm... I'm not sure," I admitted, my hands trembling as I clutched at the thin hospital blanket. "There was this… feeling, this pain. It felt like... like someone was tearing me apart from the inside." Doctor Hayes nodded, her brow furrowing in thought. "I see. Well, we'll need to run some tests to figure out what's going on. But first, let's make sure you're stable." Over the next hour, I underwent a battery of examinations and scans, each one more invasive than the last. Needles pricked my skin, machines hummed and whirred around me, and all the while, I felt like a specimen under a microscope, scrutinized and prodded for answers I couldn't even provide. Finally, Doctor Hayes stepped back, her expression unreadable as she studied the results. "Physically, you
~Lucienne~ As we strolled along the bustling but calm streets, I couldn't help but soak in every detail of this new environment. This place seemed like a world unto itself, teeming with life and activity. Everywhere I looked, there were people going about their tasks with purpose and determination, their movements fluid and efficient. Unlike the pack I was accustomed to, where hierarchy and tradition ruled every interaction, here there was a sense of equality and camaraderie that was both refreshing and disconcerting. It was as if the usual barriers and divisions that separated alphas, betas, and omegas had been erased, replaced by a feeling of unity and cooperation that transcended rank. "I've never seen anything like this," I remarked, my voice tinged with wonder. "Back in my old pack, everyone had their place, their role to fulfill. But here... it's different. It's like... like we're all part of the same pack." Doctor Hayes nodded, her expression thoughtful. "Yes, that's one of
~Killian~My pulse quickened at the mention of Lucienne's name, my breath catching in my throat. "Is she okay?" I asked, my voice strained with worry as I imagined all sorts of scenarios.The nurse's voice was calm but tinged with a hint of urgency. "Yes, Alpha. She's awake and stable now, but she seems insistent on seeing you," she explained, her words sending a surge of hope coursing through me.Relief flooded through me, mingling with an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the Moon Goddess. "Thank you," I murmured, my gratitude evident in my tone. "I'll be there as soon as I can."Hanging up the phone, I turned to Nicholas, my expression bright with newfound hope. "Lucienne's awake," I announced, unable to keep the joy from my voice. "She's asking for me."Nicholas's eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across his face. “That's incredible news. I told you that night but you didn't listen,” he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine happiness for me. "We'll head to the hospita
~Lucienne~Olivia's words sent a shiver down my spine, her anger still simmering beneath the surface despite her attempt at an apology. I forced a tight smile, trying to brush off her threat as if it were nothing more than empty words even though I knew they weren't. Killian stepped forward, breaking the handshake. "Alright, Olivia. Go cool off."With a final glare in my direction, Olivia turned on her heel and stalked away, her posture tense with anger. I let out a shaky breath, relieved that the confrontation was over, at least for now.As Olivia disappeared into the darkness, the tension in the air slowly began to dissipate and before I knew it, the other warriors gathered around me, offering words of praise and encouragement for my defense skills during the spar."Nice moves out there, Lucy," one of them said, clapping me on the back with a grin. "You held your own against Olivia. Not an easy feat. She keeps acting like she's the boss. Good to see someone finally clap back for on
