~Killian~ Rage. Anger. Pain. These were all I could feel and see when she whispered those words “You can't do that…” If not for the incident that happened back then, she would be in university, studying. Her parents should be holding balls to find suitors for her but instead, she was here, insisting that she deserves to live as an omega. Why? It took everything in me not to open my mouth to speak and ask her why she was punishing herself like this so I calmly asked her to freshen up before I left. Once I landed on the ground floor, I stormed out of the elevator and headed straight for the back of the house. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions, but one thought kept surfacing above all else- Daniel. I needed to find him. I needed to make him pay for what he did to Lucienne, for turning her into someone she wasn't meant to be. The rage bubbled inside me, fueling my thoughts as I reached the secluded spot where I usually stashed my clothes before shifting. With practiced ease, I le
~Lucienne~ The message from Dr. Hayes read, "Hello Lucienne, I hope this message finds you well. I apologize for the worry I may have caused by disappearing like that. Please know that I am safe and sound. I had a little accident on my way home but I am fine now. I just needed some time to rest and recuperate. I have been unable to reach the Alpha so please convey my apologies to him and let him know that I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. Take care, Lucienne.” Relief flooded through me as I read Dr. Hayes' message. I quickly composed a reply, expressing my gratitude for her safety and assuring her that everything was alright on our end. Once the message was sent, I let out a sigh of relief and sank back onto the bed, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. It was such a relief to know that Dr. Hayes was safe and sound and that her disappearance had been due to a simple accident. With a contented sigh, I rose from the bed and made my way to the
~Lucienne~After finishing breakfast, Killian and I made our way to the third floor, where the therapists were waiting. I felt a knot of anxiety tightening in my stomach with every step we took. The thought of opening up to a stranger about my deepest fears and vulnerabilities was daunting, but I knew it was a necessary step for my healing process.As we reached the third floor, we entered a spacious room with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Five people stood in a line, waiting for me. Three women and two men. They all appeared friendly, their expressions welcoming, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of nervousness.Killian and I sat down and he asked each of them to introduce themselves. Once they were done, I whispered to him, asking which of them Doctor Hayes recommended. I knew Doctor Hayes had excellent taste but as I glanced at the woman, an uneasy feeling washed over me. There was something about her that didn't sit right with me. Trusting my gut, I turned to
~Killian~“Mom?” I looked at the woman in front of me with wide eyes. “What are you doing here?”“You're seeing your mother in months and the first thing you're doing is questioning her?” My mother hissed as she dropped her bag on the couch near her. “Who's this girl?”“Greetings, Luna,” I heard Lucienne greet, and the crack in her voice was hard to miss, even for Olivia who stood behind my mother like a child who was hiding from being scolded. “Son, I refuse to believe she's the reason you have been ignoring your fiance,” Mother growled, sizing Lucienne who was now stiff like a rock. “Mother, have a seat. Excuse us,” I said and immediately grabbed Lucienne by the hand, gently leading her outside in such a way that it wasn't too familiar looking. The last thing I wanted was for those two women to have their eyes on her. “Avoid those two for now,” I said to Lucienne through mind link and she nodded before heading to the elevator then I went back in. On getting in, Mom was seated but
~Lucienne~Immediately I closed the door behind me, and the first thing I did was heave a sigh of relief. The way the eyes of both women stripped me on the spot made me uncomfortable to the core. Not wasting a second more, I headed to the very place no one would find me, upstairs, to the room. Once I got in, I sat down, my heartbeat gradually steadying after the deep breaths I took in the elevator. Times like this, I wish I had something to occupy my mind because all I could think of was who was that other lady beside the Luna. I knew the Luna called her ‘his fiance’ but how come I didn't know anything about it? Would my staying here affect them since I am practically staying in the same quarters with Killian? These questions kept on growing and growing until I had a headache forcing me to leave the floor. Nicholas told me there was a studio and library here so I decided to pass the time. I went to the library but it was too silent for me, making my thoughts worse so I settled for
~Lucienne~I climbed the stairs to my room, my mind buzzing with anticipation. What could the surprise be? As I pushed open the door, my eyes immediately fell on a neatly wrapped package resting on my bed. My heart fluttered with excitement as I approached it, wondering who could have left it for me.With trembling hands, I carefully untied the ribbon and unwrapped the paper, revealing a two-piece set of sleek gym clothes. They were in my favorite color, a deep shade of emerald green, and the fabric felt soft against my fingertips. A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I ran my hands over the smooth material, grateful for the thoughtful gesture.Beneath the gym clothes, I found a folded piece of paper, and curiosity piqued, I unfolded it eagerly. The words on the page sent a thrill of excitement coursing through me."There's a drill with the warriors at the training ground, and you should join."My heart skipped a beat at the prospect of training with the warriors. It was an oppo
~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 onc
~Lucienne~Once I was dressed and ready, I made my way to Killian's office, my heart pounding with anticipation and anxiety as I wondered how exactly I'd explain it to him without giving it off that it was Olivia I was referring to.On arrival, I saw Luna Elena, Killian's mother walking out and I immediately paused, bowed, and greeted but she merely hissed and walked past. I didn't need more proof to know she didn't like me one bit. And the reason, unknown. Finally, at Killian's office door, I knocked softly on the door before pushing it open and stepping inside. Killian was seated behind his desk, his expression focused as he scanned through some papers."Ah, Lucienne," he said, looking up with a warm smile. "Good morning. I was just about to come find you."I returned his smile. "Morning, Killian. I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."He waved off my concern, gesturing for me to take a seat opposite him. "Not at all. In fact, I've been looking forward to discussing your t
