LUCIEN.

I walked out of the hospital ward, closing the door right behind me. It was on sighting me that my beta, Roman leaped forward.

"How is she feeling?" He asked, a knot between his brows. I heaved a deep breath through my lips. "She's alive." I replied. At that moment, I couldn't be thankful for anything other than that.

Mia was alive. And she may have been able to remember me, or anyone else from the last fifteen years but at least she was alive.

I remembered the feeling of holding her in my arms and thinking that I might never get to see her again. I remembered the feeling of my whole world shattering into pieces all around me at that moment.

And then she woke up and asked who I was and my heart broke a little more again, realizing that Mia didn't remember the past year. She didn't remember me saving her and taking her in.

I did.

That night will forever be forged into my memory because it was the day I met her. I felt something I had never felt for anyone before and even tho

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 8: First Shift.

    MIA."Lucien" I called softly as he carried me in his arms. My body became feeble, almost like a lifeless skin I was to shed. But Lucien's arms were strong enough to wrap around me. The windows parted as we made our way through. He wrapped me in a blanket, and shielded me from the night's cold. I could feel my body's warmth, almost like my skin was on fire. I was terrified, this was my first shift. And I looked to Lucien, even though he had been through a thousand of these, there was still that terror in his eyes as well as he looked at me. I was growling in agony, my bones cracked, my joints ached and a vein popped in my forehead. I was in immense pain."I don't want to do this. I can't" I cried to Lucien. "Come on," Lucien urged, a hint of haste in his voice, like time wasn't on our side. "I'll get you to the river, it will help, I promise.""The river on the other side of town?" I echoed."We won't make it there fast enough." And at the sound of my voice, the moon ascended, cas

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 9: Goodbye.

    MIA.I packed my bags frantically, tears in my eyes as I moved back and forth between the closet and the bed. I realized I had to be quick because I didn't want to see him."Mia." Alice called, hovering around me like a cloud. "Can you just take a moment and breathe? I understand how overwhelming you feel right now but please—" "Do you?" I snapped back at her.A sniffle went up my nose."Do you, really?" I wasn't being rude. I just didn't think anyone could understand the kind of pain I was in. The level of betrayal that stung my heart, the lies and deceit. Thinking you know someone and then being utterly wrong in the most devastating way."Lucien killed my father and he lied about it, the man I love killed my father. Can you say that?" I turned to Alice and the tears streamed down my cheeks. She pushed a hard lump down her throat."At least, let me get your head checked out. You fell pretty badly and you're still bleeding," She offered. I shook my head, reverting back to the closet.

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 10: A Fresh Start.

    MIA.SIX YEARS LATER.A low grunt escaped my lips. I pivoted my heel, ducking low. My eyes squared in at a distance as I mounted my fighting stance.My bare feet dug into the cool, damp earth and my muscles coiled like a spring, before I swung. The wooden staff I was holding in my hands cut through the air with sharp precision. I leaped forward, landing on all fours. Beads of sweat clung to my temples as I lifted my head. I sucked in a deep breath, readying myself to go again. But then, a voice called from behind and I halted. "Mommy," I took off my blindfold before turning around. The staff slipped from my hands to the ground. "Theo" I called. He was standing on the edge of the clearing, right next to his sister. They were both barefoot, dressed in patched clothes, their faces sleepy but curious. "Ella" I whispered, gesturing them to come closer. They did. "Why are you still awake by this time?" I wrapped them in my arms. "We were watching you. You were doing it again." Ella rep

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 11: Bad Idea.

    MIA.Immediately Alice came to a halt, she jumped out of the car and into my arms. She embraced me for a lasting hug while a wide smile crept to my lips. I hugged her tight. "Alice," I whispered. For the second she pulled away, I noticed her eyes started to water. She scanned me head to toe and shook her head. "I can't believe it." She muttered."I can't believe that it's really you." She smiled."It is." I pushed a hard lump down my throat. "It is." Alice hugged me again. I hadn't seen my best friend in six years. Even though we had only just met not long before I left, the truth is Alice and I had stayed in touch over the last few years and we'd become closer.We didn't talk often at all out of the fear that someone might track where I was—she was the only one I stayed in touch with from home, but the few times we spoke to catch up, it was the best. "Oh my God" I blurted, cradling her face in my hand. She sniffled, color rushing into her cheeks. "I missed you." I hadn't realized j

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 12: Find Her.

    LUCIEN.My heart hung heavy in my chest as I stared down at the letter in my hands. Six years ago, I had walked into this very room thinking I'd find the love of my life there but Mia had gone. She had left nothing but this very letter lying capriciously across my table. The first time I read it, I remember the feeling of tears in my eyes, the pain at the back of my throat and my stomach wrenching. It was the first time I ever felt that way. Hopeless, angry. Broken. "Dear Lucien," Six years would pass and there would be no day that I wouldn't read it all over again and again. It was a form of self torture, to remind myself of how much I was an asshole and an idiot for ever letting Mia go—for ever lying to her. But it was also the last thing of hers that I had. I never thought I'd see her again until tonight. It wasn't always like that. The first night I'd read her letter, I immediately summoned Roman."You have to find her. Search the heights of the mountains and the depths of the

    MIA.The moment I saw him, my heart dropped to the ground. Lucien was standing by the door and his eyes had met the kids. They were sitting on the floor playing a board game but when they saw him, both Ella and Theo stood.The way they looked at him. The way he looked at them. I could tell that he knew at that moment.This wasn't the way I wanted them to meet their father. Not like this. "Lucien," Alice broke the awkward silence, surprised that he was even standing here in the first place. He batted his eyes to me and though his lips parted, he didn't say anything for a second."Mia" But when he did, he called my name. It was as if he needed to see me a second time to actually believe it was me. "What are you doing here?" I bit down my teeth. "Did you follow me? Roman?" I looked at his beta behind him."Who are they?" Lucien stepped forward and I did too, holding the kids behind me. I locked my eyes into his. "You haven't answered my question, Lucien. What are you doing here?" I mut

    MIA.The car came to a halt right in front of the Blood Moon pack house. I sucked in a deep breath, looking up at the place I'd grown up in. It was dark but it was clear how much had changed. Silence had ravaged the building and the few people that remained scantied across the street."Are you sure you want to do this?" Alice let out an exasperated sigh. She turned to look at me. "Meeting Ezra is such a bad idea, especially when you remember what happened the last time.""The only reason you were able to escape was because I poisoned him." She added. "Which is why you're coming nowhere close to that house. You said it yourself, it's me Ezra wants. He would stop at nothing until he has found me." I muttered under my breath."But I won't let him find me. Surprising him gives me an advantage""Then what?" Alice hissed and I pulled out of a waistband a knife I'd carried. "Mia" She sighed once her eyes fell to it. "It's okay," I paused before alighting the car. "I've trained six years fo

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 15: Familiar Feelings.

    MIA."What are you doing here?" Lucien grabbed my arm but once I walked outside the castle, I withdrew from him. There was a furrow between his brows, an anger in his eyes."Meeting Ezra? Have you lost your mind?" He gritted through his teeth and I lifted my eyes to him. "Do you know how dangerous that is—" "Enough Lucien, I don't need you pretending to care," I said."You think that's what this is?" He asked. I swallowed a hard lump down my throat. His eyes scanned my body and then he sighed."Look at you, you're wounded." He whispered, his hands reaching to my face but I moved away. I could feel the blood drip down my temple right between the corner of my eyes and my ear. "Come back with me. I'll take care of it." Lucien said. I shook my head, staying still. "I'm fine. I'll see Alice when I get back.""It wasn't a question, Mia. You're coming with me, with the amount of blood coming from your head you're lucky you're still standing." He said. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 27: The Antidote.

    LUCIEN.I opened my eyes to the sun pouring in through the windows and the first person I saw was Tara. She sat by the edge of the bed with a cup of coffee in her hands which she placed by the bedside."Good morning," She greeted. An exhale left my lips as I sat up. I instinctively looked at the clock to figure out how much time had passed. I didn't realize just how tired I was till I closed my eyes. "It's okay, I told Roman to have you rest and not to wake you." Tara said. "I just—" I ran my hands through my head. I had to see Alice, we were supposed to meet in the clinic early that morning. "I just had to do something that's all," I muttered back to Tara who curved her lips slightly with the expectation of something from me. Like she wanted me to say something. Otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting in front of me. There was also something quite strange in her eyes—an emotion I couldn't decipher. Tara wasn't the easiest to read but I could always tell when something was wrong at leas

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 26: Blackout.

    LUCIEN.My Beta Roman crashed in through the doors, drawing both Mia's and my attention towards him. "She's awake!" He exclaimed. The sight of relief almost instantly washed over Mia's face. "Let's go. We have to see her" She pulled my arms and we walked straight to the clinic. Somehow, I felt so much better with Mia beside me."Alice!" She exhaled, running into her arms. Alice let out a deep breath when Mia hugged her but she too was happy to see her best friend. When Mia pulled away, there were tears in her eyes. "Oh my God. You scared me so so much, Alice." She whispered."What happened?" Alice looked around the room with a questionable expression. "I don't know what happened. Roman said I fell down the stairs but I have no recollection of last night." Alice replied.I arched my brows. "Last night was the ball." I added."It was?""It seems like it was like days ago. My memory is a mess right now." Alice said. There was a bandaid across her temple, a wound probably from the fall

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 25: The Promise.

    LUCIEN. I remembered that night like it was yesterday, the snow falling across the window and the air thick with tension. My mother reached for my hands. This was many years ago, the day I first met Ezra, my brother. My Mum and I found out the same way that my father cheated some time ago with some woman whose name he couldn't even recall. It was around the same time she was pregnant with me. That woman went on to birth this child too. She named him Ezra. However, when she died and eighteen years later, Ezra found his father after searching for a long time. It threw the entire Pack off to learn about the Alpha's secret unnoble child. And it hurt my mother to know that he cheated on her. I was eighteen too when she sat me down. I'd heard all the whispers and the gossip amongst the Pack members and I feared for the truth but if there was anything I remember, it was her holding my hands. "You should know something," My mother, Elizabeth whispered. Her eyes were moist as if fighting

    MIA. Once I had put the kids to bed, I walked back out to the terrace. Time had already passed and it was too late for me to return to the Ball. Too late for Lucien too. I pulled off my dress and put on something more comfortable—a T-shirt and some plaid pants. I walked out onto the terrace and there he was, Lucien, leaning against the wooden railings. At the sound of the door, he threw a look over his shoulders and I walked to him. "They're finally asleep," I whispered. I had his jacket in his hands which I handed over to him."Thank you for this." I said. Lucien reluctantly collected it, a cigarette perched between his lips. He blew it to the winds. It was such a chilly night. I don't think it'd been this cold since I came here."You didn't have to." Lucien collected the jacket. I did. I stood right next to him, folding my arms on the ledge too. I looked over the terrace with the winds blowing through my hair. Lucien let go of the cigarette and crushed it beneath his feet. For a

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 23: Fireworks.

    MIA.The car came to a halt and my eyes parted open slowly. I had fallen asleep and didn't realize we'd already arrived at the cabin. It was half an hour past midnight which only meant we had less time to make it back for the fireworks. But at least, we were here.I walked out of the car, right behind Lucien. "I didn't want to wake you." He muttered over his shoulders. "You seemed to be really tired. I'm not sure you've rested enough since you got back here" Lucien said. "I'll rest once tonight's over" I said. Grabbing the keys, I sauntered up the porch steps. Lena was already waiting by the door when I pushed it open and the kids were in his arms. "Mommy!" Theo leaped towards me and I held around him for a hug."I'm so sorry. Mommy was caught up in something and I had no idea how much time had passed. I really am sorry" I looked up at Lena and all she did was nod. It was Ella who puckered her lips with her arms folded across her chest."We're going to miss the fireworks now. I rea

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 22: Car Troubles.

    MIA.The night started out slow. After my speech, I spent most of the time in Oscar's arms where we danced to the slow, soft music playing from the piano. I intertwined my fingers with his while his other hand fell to my waist. This was my first ball. It was my first dance.Growing up, I wasn't old enough to attend one of these but I remember being here nonetheless. I would sneak in with my mother and peek through the doors. Then father would catch me and he'd yell at the top of his voice.But I wouldn't go back still. Everyone wanted to be at the ball, there was something really magical about it, especially when it snowed. Standing there with Oscar, I could see why it was."Are you okay?" He asked when I pulled away. My eyes narrowed at my watch. It was almost midnight. I ought to return to the cabin to get Lena and my kids before the ball was over. I wasn't sure I wanted them here, at least not yet. But I wanted them out of the house, at least close enough for them to see the fir

  • Forgive Me, My Precious Luna.    Chapter 21: The Winter Ball.

    MIA. l stepped out of Oscar's car, looking around for a moment. And I could feel my heart gleam in my chest. There were people here, familiar faces from my Pack and they'd showed up. Some in their dresses and others in plaid materials but that didn't matter. What mattered was that they were here. "Oh Oscar," I whispered, my eyes stinging with tears as he crept up towards me. His arm stretched around my shoulder and I leaned into him. "I can't believe it. They came. They're all here.""Of course." He replied. "Only you can pull off the perfect party in the shortest amount of time. I looked at him with stark eyes. This wasn't just a party, it was a sign of a new beginning. A sign of change. Something about seeing my Pack the other day and for a moment, feeling even if it was just a bit of the pain and suffering they endured over the years, it opened my eyes to why I was here.It gave me a purpose and for the past two days, I'd been repeating it to myself, I'll make their lives bette

    LUCIEN. There was a knock on the door before Alice walked in. I lifted my face, scanning behind her for Mia but she was all alone. "Where is she?" My brows arched in disappointment. "I got her call early this morning about the Winter Ball she's planning—" I continued. "I tried to talk her out of it, it's almost near impossible to come up with something for tonight but she was hellbent on it.""It's fine Alice. I already gave her my word. We'll help in any way that we can," I muttered. My lips curled. "I just thought she'd be here." Alice sauntered into the chambers."She had a lot of work to do for tonight, to get the decorations up. Luckily, she has some help. Oscar came around earlier today." I felt my jaw clench and my wolf retract from underneath my skin. "Oscar?" I echoed, the name leaving a bitter taste in the back of my throat. "They're only friends," Alice was quick to correct but I already felt the fury in the blood. Oscar. Who the hell was Oscar?"I came around to help wi

    MIA.Alice opened the door and walked in on me tucking the twins into their bed. It had been a long day in the town but finally, we were back home with Kyra. I had missed my kids and days like this when I was faced with the brutal reality of what had become of Rosewood and the families that had been torn apart, I loved them even more. I was glad I had them and I knew in that breath that I would do anything to protect them. I wasn't going to let any more of my family down. "How is Kyra?" I turned to Alice, walking towards the door where she stood. "She's just had a shower but she isn't eating anything.""Lena made some oat as well soup but she's just sitting there, staring blankly at everything," Alice paused. "I don't blame her. She's already been through so much. Every one of them has" I said."We just have to take care of her until she's feeling better." There was a sliver of worry in Alice's eyes. "She's family," I reassured her."It's not like it used to be. I can't turn my back
