Lucas' POV As I stepped into the living room, tensions were running high. The air was thick with anger and everyone was on edge. My father, a stern and imposing man, glared at me with unconcealed fury, disappointment, and disgust. I ruined his pack, his company, and his life. And my father used to kill someone because a bar attender ruined his whiskey cocktail. "Do you have any explanations for your ex-mate sending the divorce papers directly to me, bypassing you entirely?! I'm going to be very frank with you, son. I take this as a personal affront and it only adds to my already simmering anger." My father approached me and said with his hands strangling an invisible neck in the air. "I have no explanation. I never expected Leah would do something like this..." I said. My mother cut me short by screaming at the top of his lungs, "That bitch! That horrible, shameless, filthy bitch! She's doing this to humiliate us! She's doing this intentionally to sabotage our family tie! She's
Lucas' POV "Who... Are... You...?" I asked. I could barely recognize my voice. My vocal cord must have been torn. The little white wolf took a glance at me as if it was checking if I was alright, but it didn't answer my question. Instead, it lowered its head to get closer to my father while stomping on his spine again, triggering waves of my father's scream again. It seemed that this tiny little thing was determined to torture my father before killing him. "Don't hurt my husband!" My mother pleaded in tears. She wanted to protect my father, but she also wanted to hold me in her arms. I could tell she was torn. The little white wolf heard my mother's voice and raised its head abruptly, staring at me. At that time, I recognized its olive-green eyes. "Leah...?! Is that you...?" I asked. Leah's POV Lucas' voice brought me back to sanity. I looked down at the giant grey wolf twitching under my claws. "You damn old fool!" I snarled in anger. "Are you crazy?! Why did you try to ki
Leah's POV "And you're also a loud, loud person, Jorah," Lucas said in a low voice. I lifted my head and saw Lucas looking down at me with a half-smirk on his face. For a person whose throat almost got slashed by his own father, he looked way too happy. And I knew he was happy because he was holding me in his arms. I immediately stood up, shaking my fur and trying to walk away, but he caught me. "Where do you think you are going?" He taunted me, holding me in his giant hands while sitting up. "Urrrgh!" I turned my head, trying to bite him. Wolves don't like being caught. It was almost a reflex. But on that day, I ended up holding his hand in my mouth, scratching my teeth against his long, slender fingers. He tasted so good. I thought to myself. If I was in human form, I would definitely be blushing. "Alpha! You're still alive! Oh, my Goddess! I haven't killed you! Great!" Jorah clapped and jumped up while clapping his hands. "And praise the Moon Goddess for me not being kille
Leah's POV At that time, my wolf stepped back and I suddenly shifted into human form. I hate my wolf! I thought to myself. How could she abandon me like this?! Now I'm all naked, being stuck in a bathtub with my ex-mate, who was clearly ready to make love with me. "Lucas, I..." I whispered, lowering my head, trying to cover my naked chest. Lucas stopped my hands and pressed me against his broad chest. "Leah, please don't go away. Please come back to me. I will give you everything you want. I will make it right this time." He said as he pulled my hip against his. I could feel the erection of his body. "Don't... Lucas... Just don't do this to me..." I whispered. Despite saying this, I became dripping wet. Thank Goddess that I was in a bathtub. But I turned crimson. That was difficult to hide. "Come on, Leah. You know you want this," Lucas drew himself closer and whispered to my ear. "No... No... This isn't fair. I really can't make love with you now." I shook my head, trying t
Leah's POV "Lucas, what have I ever done to you to make you treat me like this?" I whispered after he got off my body. Lucas didn't answer me. I wondered if he had heard my voice after all. He was still furious, panting and roaring like an agitated beast. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed me in the next second. Obviously, the rough sex we had just had didn't calm him down. Whatever he wanted to get, he didn't get from me. His fluid was still all over my body, and so did the bruises and cuts. It was a mess. I could wipe myself clean and heal the bruises and cuts, but the excruciating pain in my heart never went away. I thought Lucas would have walked away and left me alone as he did in the past, but he didn't. Instead, he shifted his hands into giant wolf claws and approached me. I looked at him with horror. Was he going to rip my heart out with those claws?! But he didn't. Instead, he used his razor-sharp claws to cut the tie to cut loose from the bed. Having regained
Jalin's POV "Why are you here?" Jorah looked surprised to see me, twisting his hands together. Nothing good happens when he twists his hands like this, especially when there's blood on his hands. "Where's Leah?" I frowned. "She's upstairs with Alpha. Why?" Jorah looked even more puzzled. "You leave them alone upstairs?" I clenched my fists. "Yeah..." My heart sank and immediately walked upstairs. Jorah stopped me by blocking my way. "Hey, Jalin! What's going on?!" "Someone is in danger, you idiot. That's what's going on. Now stay out of my way." I tried so hard not to punch his stupid face. "Let's not blow this whole thing out of proportion, OK? Lucas misses Leah and he just needs to have some quality time with his wife. I don't see anything wrong with it. He wouldn't hurt his own wife." Jorah shrugged. He still stood in my way, acting like there was not that big a deal for my precious Leah being left alone with a fucking asshole. "Leah isn't the one who's getting hurt!" I
Jalin's POV Leah stared at Jorah in surprise. She put down the pen in her hand and said, "Jorah, you do know that we can print another copy of that, right?" "Then I'll eat them again!" Jorah raised his voice. I could see tears circulating in his eyes and I knew he must have been terrified. "You can't divorce him, Leah. I have never seen him so crushed like this... I mean, both physically and mentally... not even when Basil passed away. Leah, I don't know shit, but I know one thing for sure - If you divorce him today, he's going to kill himself. If he kills himself, I will have to kill myself, because, again, I don't know shit, but I'm sure whatever shit happened in his life, it's at least 90% my fault. So I'm not going to let you divorce him. Not on my watch!" I rubbed my temple and said, "Jorah, stop being a child. This is Leah's life. You have no right to interfere or threaten Leah like this." Jorah ignored me and kept on going, "Leah, I've grown up with Lucas and I'm not blind.
Jorah's POV "You know you can tell me where it is." I took the box and took out some bandages to wrap the wound in front of my chest. "Yes. But I want to take it out by myself. Do you have any problem with that?" Lucas frowned. "No, Alpha. Having problems with you will never be one of the many problems I have to deal with." I said, trying to wrap the bandage around my chest, but I couldn't. Lucas sighed and took the bandage from my hands and started to mummify me. "Do you think I should take her back?" Lucas asked. "I'm not supposed to give anyone any advice on relationships," I replied. "Are you defying me?" He stared at me, frowning. I answered without hesitation, "No, I'm bleeding." "Jalin did this to you?" Lucas asked. "No. I accidentally fell on my dagger, because that's what I do. I hurt myself until it bleeds." I said. "Can you still drive for me today?" Lucas looked worried. "Yes, I can drive for you. And yes, Leah's a keeper. You should do everything to take her ba
