Alpha Lucian Obsession CHAPTER 25
LUCIAN Let their voices be the bitter soundtrack to his impending doom. “Alph…” The man tried to speak, but his voice broke, cracking under the weight of fear. "I… I couldn’t help it… It wasn’t supposed to go this far." He stammered, shaking. "I needed the money… My daughter’s school fees, Alpha… I overheard some merchants talking about a bounty on a girl’s head." Oh. Where was the man who spited my authority? I jerked my head towards his family in warning. “Continue.” His voice shook, and his eyes filled with desperation. "I stole the poster from the merchants... I thought… I thought I could make some money off another pack. But when I saw her picture…" He gulped, trying to catch his breath. "She looked just like her. And they said she was a rogue, that she could penetrate packs and kill thousands. I—I thought I had no choice." “Who the fuck is ‘they?’” “The merchant…” “You are lying.” I didn’t let his words sink in immediately. I was still watching his mate’s h

LUCIAN I released a slow breath, forcing my fists to unclench. Now, it wasn’t exhilarating. Now, it felt… empty. The rage that once fueled me now left me drained. The fear in their eyes no longer thrilled me—it exhausted me. I had built this new Bloodfang Pack to be different, to be more than what it once was. But moments like this, when my control slipped, I realized how close I still was to becoming that same monster again. I had promised myself I wouldn’t go back. Tonight, I had come dangerously close. “Hm.” Tobias hummed beside me, his gray eyes studying me. He had seen it too. The hesitation. “Lost in thought, Alpha?” he mused, tilting his head. I shot him a dry glare, but he only chuckled. “You hesitated,” he noted. “That’s not like you.” I ran a hand down my face. “Shut up, Tobias.” His smirk widened, but he didn’t push further. He had always known how far to go before I snapped. I glanced at the door where Aaron had taken the man awa

ARIA "I—I was just…” "Oh, save it," she scoffed. "You’re lucky I found you before the head maid or Lady Maren did.” Before I knew it, she yanked me through a doorway and shoved me into a bustling kitchen. The scent of food, spices, and onions filled the air, curling into my nose. Something was burning. I grimaced. The place was even more chaotic—pots clanged, and servants rushed around in a frenzy. “I swear to the goddess, Xena, if that food burns, that will be your dinner for ten weeks!” a deep voice thundered. I shuddered. Ten weeks? My gaze snapped to the source of the threat. Fucking hell. A plump woman with a grease-stained apron stood in the middle of it all, barking orders. Her sleeves were rolled up, her thick arms covered in flour and sweat, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. She held a wooden spoon in one hand and a half-eaten piece of bread in the other. The moment she turned, her sharp eyes landed on us. "Clara!" she bellowed. "Who the f

ARIA "It was tortured out of Theo," Tobias said flatly. I swallowed. Of course. I didn’t even have to ask who Theo was. I knew. "Tobias?" His gaze flickered to mine. “What?” "Can I tell you a secret?" He narrowed his eyes, but after a moment, he gave a slow nod. Great. I pushed up on my toes, just slightly, leaning in—so close that my lips almost brushed his ear. Then I whispered. Tobias’s entire body went rigid. His eyes widened. I took a step back, taking in more of his reaction. His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to speak. But for a long, stretched-out second, he didn’t. He just stared at me. "You’re fucking with me.” I shook my head. I wasn't. “Then we need to tell Lucian right away.” What did I tell Tobias? That I had three mates, and none of them rejected me, which meant at some point, they would storm this pack and tear it to the ground. I had no idea if that was actually true, but it sounded convincing enough to keep Tobias from

ARIA I was trying to keep my nerves in check when Tobias suddenly stopped walking. I nearly bumped into his back. “What pack are you from?” His voice was low, but I could feel the responsibility behind the question. Why would he ask that? I thought they made their research… I hesitated, my palms growing clammy. There was no reason to lie, not about this. “Ashen Pack.” Tobias groaned, long and deep, like I had just told him I was carrying the plague. He rubbed a hand down his face. “Of course you are,” he muttered. I frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Tobias stopped walking and turned to face me fully with his arms crossed. Whatever he was thinking was beyond me. “It means you came from a pack that doesn’t take lightly to runaways and rogues.” His amused eyes studied my face gauging my reaction. “They will kill you if we hand you over.” My stomach recoiled. “You know that, right?” He accused, daring me to deny it. I swallowed hard. “I know.” “

ARIAWith feet pounding against the wet earth, I sprinted through the dense underbrush, my breath coming in ragged gasps. The cold mud clung to my soles, and the puddles left behind by last night’s rain splashed water up my legs as I pushed forward. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.The sharp thorns from wild brambles tore into my skin, snagging on the silk of my nightgown, but I barely noticed. Pain didn’t matter. Fear didn’t matter. All that mattered was survival—putting as much distance as possible between me and the rogues hunting me down. Their snarls and heavy footfalls echoed too close for comfort. They wanted my life.How did it come to this? My twentieth birthday should have been a celebration, not a nightmare. Instead of laughter and cake, I found myself running through the dark woods, desperate to escape the murderous intruders who shattered my world in the dead of night.The Ashen Pack was supposed to be untouchable, its defenses impenetrable. Everyone said so. Rogues couldn’t h

ARIAFaint voices and muffled conversations gently roused me from my unconscious state. My senses slowly returned, but my head felt heavy, and the world around me seemed blurry and distant. As I struggled to focus, I finally opened my eyes. What I saw was unexpected—a young man standing beside me, his face unfamiliar and filled with concern. My mind scrambled to piece things together. I had fallen from the cliff, and then—nothing. I’d heard voices just before I lost consciousness. Had someone found me? Had they decided to spare my life and bring me somewhere safe?The young man’s voice broke through my thoughts. “How do you feel?” he asked, his eyes scanning my face with genuine concern. “It’s nothing short of a miracle that you survived that fall.”I blinked, trying to focus on his words. My throat felt dry, and I instinctively licked my lips, trying to find moisture. Slowly, I attempted to sit up, but dizziness hit me, and I faltered. Immediately, the young man reached out, his ha

LUCIANWhen my men reported that they had found a rogue near the cliff border—possibly having fallen from the edge which is Ashen pack—I immediately gave the order to eliminate her and dispose of it’s body in the woods. I wanted to make a clear message to any rogue who might wander into Bloodfang territory: this pack does not tolerate rogues, whether they come here by design or mistake.But then Aaron mentioned something that made me pause. He said the rogue was a woman, and she had a star-shaped imprint on her inner thigh. That detail stopped me in my tracks and I knew I had to see her for myself. When I arrived and confirmed his words, I made a different decision. Instead of killing her, I chose to spare her life. She could provide valuable information, and I needed to know if she was really the one I had been looking for all this time.“You think that’s Whitee?” Aaron asked as he entered my office, his brows knitted and his voice unsure. “She doesn’t act like her, but she sure loo

LUCIANMy knuckles ached from the repeated impact. The bastard’s face was barely recognizable—swollen, bloodied, and twisted in a sickening form… yet he was still laughing. He was a fool.“Just kill me already.” His grin widened, and a trickle of blood slipped down his chin. “Why does it matter? You’re going to kill me anyway.” I tightened my grip. “You still have a chance to die quickly.” The man coughed, spitting more blood onto the cold floor. “Quickly? You must be going soft, Alpha.” His chuckle was hoarse, and his breath reeked of iron. “I’ll say this much—I did what I did because I could. Because someone let me.” His swollen eyes gleamed. “But you already know that, don’t you?” My jaw tensed. Maren. But before I could ask if she was the one, the door behind me creaked open. Tobias stepped in, his expression blank, but I knew him too well. His eyes were narrowed on the man. He had been listening. “Are we done playing?” Tobias drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Or

ARIAAaron’s eyes were still locked on the doorway behind me. Dread crawled up my spine. Slowly, I turned.Oh, shit.Lucian stood there, just inside the room. His expression was unreadable, his eyes dark and unblinking. Wh–when did he get in here? Why were his footsteps so light?Tobias was right behind him, frozen as the realization sank in. His face darkened. “You fucking bitch…”Lucian raised a hand to his lips, silencing him. “Did you reject him?” he asked me. His voice was different. It wasn’t the usual gruffness or dry irritation. This time, there was something hollow underneath—judging, accusing…why did I feel disappointed? I gripped the edge of the bed. I didn’t want to answer.I didn’t want to hear myself say it.Lucian’s gaze never wavered. “Aria.”I swallowed, forcing myself to meet his eyes. Then, in the calmest voice I could manage, I said, “Get out.”Aaron’s head snapped toward me. “What?”I didn’t look at him. I didn’t look at anyone but Lucian.Tobias snarled. “What th

LUCIAN “Did you see the mark?” I stayed silent. Tobias’s nostrils flared. “Did. You. See. The. Mark?” My jaw clenched. Tobias cursed under his breath, stepping back like I had physically struck him. He turned his gaze to the ceiling, breathing heavily. “Shit. Fuck. We are so screwed.” I flexed my fingers, keeping my expression neutral. “Not necessarily.” Tobias frowned. “Not necessarily?” He pointed toward the door. “Lucian, that girl… your prisoner, the one you so conveniently refuse to let go—isn’t just some rogue. She’s—” “I know.” Tobias froze, his anger twisting into curiosity. “Then what the hell are you planning to do?” I didn’t answer. Because, for the first time in my life… I didn’t fucking know. ________________Tobias was losing his mind. He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, pacing in frantic strides. His boots thudded against the stone floor of the hallway as he muttered more curses under his breath.Every few steps, he would stop, clen

ARIAI just smiled, amused at his reaction but not entirely relaxed yet. To be honest, I couldn’t stop replaying Tobias’s reaction in my head. I tilted my head slightly. “Who was that guy?” Aaron blinked. “Who?” “The guy with gray eyes,” I clarified. “The one who nearly choked on his own breath before dragging Lucian away.” Aaron raised an eyebrow. “What?” A sigh escaped my lips. I wasn't trying to be funny—that was the only way I could describe him. “The guy…” “Oh.” Aaron’s glare softened. He shrugged, already reaching for a bottle of antiseptic. “That’s Tobias Hale, Beta of the Bloodfang Pack and Lucian’s best friend.” He paused. “The last part’s important, but don’t tell anyone I said that.” I raised a brow. “Why?” Aaron just shook his head dramatically. “You didn’t hear it from me.” Oh. I couldn’t help it—the thought of grumpy, brooding, permanently irritated Lucian having a best friend—one who seemed capable of panicking, no less—was ridiculous. The guy looked like he h
