~Killian~ I sighed heavily, knowing that I owed Beta Nicholas an explanation for my certainty about Lucienne's wolf. "I've known Lucienne since she was a child," I began, my voice soft with reminiscence. "I watched her grow up, and I know her better than anyone. There's a bond between an Alpha and their pack, and I could sense her wolf's presence even when she couldn't. As for the name Amarok, it's a long story." I paused, gathering my thoughts before continuing. "Amarok was the name of her favorite stuffed toy when she was a child. She used to carry it everywhere with her, and it became a sort of comfort for her. When she first shifted and discovered her wolf, she chose to name it after her beloved toy. It's a part of who she is, ingrained in her very being." Beta Nicholas nodded in understanding, his expression thoughtful as he processed my words. "I see," he murmured, his gaze turning back to Lucienne. "Thank you for explaining, Alpha. It's clear how much she means to you." I n
~Luciennne~ "Amarok," I whispered, happily hugging my wolf then I said goodbye as she told me it was time to return so my body could heal. With a groan, I opened my eyes and found myself lying in a bed, the soft light filtering through the curtains casting a warm glow over the room. My heart skipped a beat as I glanced around, taking in my surroundings. And then, I saw him – Killian, asleep in a chair by my bedside. A rush of relief flooded through me as I saw him and I jumped off the bed and ran to him. Without a second thought, I threw my arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. "Killian," I whispered, my voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you for saving me." Killian stirred at my touch, his eyes fluttering open as he gazed up at me with a shocked and sleepy smile. “Lucienne? How are you feeling?" "I'm okay now," I replied, my voice tinged with gratitude. "Thanks to you." Killian's smile widened at my words, and he wrapped his hands around me. "I'm just glad you're
~Luciennne~ Reluctantly, I took the phone from Killian, my fingers trembling slightly as I brought it to my ear. "Hello?" I greeted tentatively, trying to keep my voice steady despite the nerves churning in my stomach. "Luna Elena?" I called out, my voice tinged with a mix of apprehension and determination. "This is Lucienne speaking." There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Luna Elena's voice came through, sharp and demanding. "Lucienne," she spat, her tone dripping with disdain. "Where is Killian? I demand to speak with him immediately." I swallowed hard, steeling myself for the confrontation that was sure to follow. "I'm sorry, Luna Elena," I replied evenly, trying to keep my voice steady despite the rising tension. “Alpha Killian is currently occupied at the moment. Is there something I can assist you with?" The Luna's response was swift and cutting, her words laced with venom. "I don't need assistance from the likes of you," she sneered, her voice dri
~Luciennne~ Killian's eyes widened in surprise, his gaze locking with mine as he searched my face for any sign of doubt or uncertainty. And then, slowly, a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips, his expression filled with a mixture of relief and joy. "Yes, Lucienne," he replied softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "I do feel it too." A surge of happiness flooded through me at his words, and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. For so long, I had wondered if I would ever find myself a mate, someone who would love and cherish me just like this. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I threw myself into his arms, my heart overflowing with love and gratitude. "Thank you for being mine.” Killian hugged me tightly, his arms wrapped around me protectively as he buried his face in my hair. "No. I should be thanking you for being mine," he murmured, his voice filled with sincerity. "I love you, Lucienne." I pulled back slightly, gazing up at him with tear-f
~Lucienne~“Alright mother,” he said firmly, hanging up. He took a deep breath and then turned to me, his shoulders relaxing slightly as he looked into my eyes. "I'm sorry you had to hear that," he murmured into my hair. "But I won't let her come between us."I pulled back slightly to look up at him, my heart aching at the tension he felt. “Why don’t you want to go back home for your birthday?” I asked, genuinely curious and a little concerned. His birthday seemed like an important event, especially considering the way his mother spoke about it.Killian’s face softened, a small, sincere smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Because I want to spend it with my mate, with you, Lucienne. Just you.”My heart fluttered at his words, warmth spreading through my chest. I reached out and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “When is your birthday?”“In a week,” he replied, “the day after our last meeting here.”I raised an eyebrow, surprised. "And you didn’t think to tell me sooner?"
~Lucienne~ Amarok's question caught me off guard. I knew very well what she was talking about. Life before the accident. I suppressed them all a long time ago. I hardly remember anything from then and soon after I got to Killian's pack and I healed up, they began to return. But I didn't want to remember them. I didn't want to remember the happy times. It would only add to my guilt. “Lucienne?” Amarok, called again. I sighed, knowing I couldn't hide from her. "Amarok, I just don't feel strong enough to face those memories yet. They’re... too much." Amarok's presence softened, her voice gentle. "I understand, Lucienne. We'll take it one step at a time. For now, let’s talk about something lighter." I could feel her trying to lift my spirits. "Like what?" "How about your first kiss with Killian? When will that happen?" Her question made me blush furiously. "Soon, Amarok. Very soon." She chuckled, the sound like a warm breeze. "I’m looking forward to it. Your first kiss," She sque
~Killian~ "Killian," Lucienne called out to me with the softest, sleepiest voice I'd ever heard and I was sure I smiled from my sleep. "It's time to wake up." I blinked awake, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. Lucienne was already up, her hair tousled, and a gentle smile playing on her lips. She looked ethereal in the soft light, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of more love for her. how could one person be so pretty? "Good morning," I murmured, reaching out to pull her into a warm embrace. "Good morning," she replied, resting her head on my chest for a moment before pulling back. "We have a busy day ahead." I nodded, stretching as I sat up. "Yeah, lots of meetings. But we'll get through it together." We got out of bed and started preparing for the day. Lucienne headed to the bathroom first, and I could hear the faint sounds of her morning routine as I made my way to the kitchenette. I started brewing a pot of coffee, knowing we’d need it to power throu

~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
