HIS MAKERLUCIEN LET ME hug him until I passed out. I had no idea what happened next, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself in Lucien's arms. I wanted to move, but he was holding me too tightly, and his left leg was also encircling me. I was thirsty and hungry, so I tried to move while calling Lucien."Sweetheart, what is it?" he asked with a raspy voice.My eyes started to water when I heard him talking to me again. Worried filled his eyes upon seeing my reaction. "It's alright now, sweetheart. Stop crying," he whispered gently as he dried my tears away. "What's the matter, hmmm? Is there anything you need? Or are you somewhere?"I smiled and held his hand."I am fine. I'm just really glad knowing that you're not mad at me anymore. I know what I did was wrong. I could have endangered me and our baby and for that, I'm sorry."Lucien sighed before kissing me on the cheek. Then he began rubbing his nose against my bare shoulder before kissing it lightly."I'm no
"WHAT MAKES YOU say that?" I asked after our seconds of silence. She sighed and smiled faintly. "Living in chaos is tough, particularly now that the number of rebels and rogues has doubled, and the people's indifference made it challenging to live in solitude. That's why I believe that the people of Vinfort will finally find their peace and a reason to reconcile if she returns."What she said is true. It's hard living in a place where the people around you do not get along well. I tapped Marissa's head softly while facing her. I then gave her a friendly smile to ease her inner sadness. When we arrived in our room, I opened the door for us, and then I was greeted by Lucien, who was now wearing fresh clothes. Marissa greeted him and Lucien acknowledged. He then encircled his arms around my waist. Marissa excused herself soon after she placed the food on the table. As soon as the door shuts, Lucien's lips descended to my slightly opened mouth. His fiery kisses earned a soft moan from
HER REASONS"MY MATE, HE'S here!" Aurora uttered in surprise.I'm confused. Who is she referring to?"Your mate... is... here?" Nereza asked, also puzzled. Because of the sudden commotion from outside, Aurora didn't have time to respond to Nereza. The door swung open unexpectedly, and Lorkan entered with a worried expression on his face."Please excuse my rudeness, my lords and ladyships, but we have an urgent matter outside," Lorkan uttered with urgency."Is it him?" Aurora asked with worry. "How did you---" Lorkan gasped. "It's you!" he said, pointing at Aurora. "He felt your essence"Who is Lorkan referring to?"You should do something to restrain him. Or better yet, give him some wolfsbane to calm him down," Aurora suggested.My curiosity is slowly taking over. "Restrain who?" I couldn't help but ask. Lorkan expressed concern. "Your brother, Ysobella. He's too strong, and I think a little wolfsbane is exactly what we need right now," he told me.It was impossible for me to beli
I WAS TAKEN back to our room by Lucien after our conversation with Aurora. He advised me to take a rest considering what transpired today. I also expressed my worry about the upcoming battle. I confessed to him that I'm frightened about tomorrow and the days ahead. We are still unsure of when our enemies will attack us. "Don't worry too much, sweetheart. I already made a plan the day we got here," he assured."What plan?" I asked."There's a hidden room here and I asked Markus and Synth to ready it for you." He kissed me on the lips after he said those. "What do you mean? Do you plan to hide me in there?" I asked in disbelief. Lucien inhaled deeply and kissed my hands. He said he doesn't have a choice and that I can't leave Vinfort without being discovered. Lucien also stated that he no longer trusts the Council, but he and Markus have devised a backup plan in case something goes wrong."I'll send out a carriage tonight with your scent to make them believe you left Vinfort," he sai
NOTE: This chapter is written in 3rd POV.PACK WAR (PART I)"LUCIEN? WHAT HAPPENED?!" Ysobella asked with anxiousness. "D*MN IT! Sweetheart, we need to leave now!" Lucien said while taking the pouch he gave her before. "Aurora said that the enemies are going to attack tomorrow night but they saw the counselor's wife leaving. They thought we were trying to escape, f*ck it!" Lucien added angrily. Ysobella's breathing is erratic, and her hands are trembling. She refrained from asking any more questions and followed Lucien in silence to the underground chamber where she planned to remain until the chaos subsided.Lucien said it is going to be a one-night war. It means after this night, whoever is left standing wins this battle. Lucien also reassured her that it is not going to be a Blood War. All living beings from the bordering lands, including the defenseless, will engage in battle if it is a Blood War. But this evening is different because it's a Pack War. A war between the wolf pac
LUTHER WATCHED FROM afar as Lucien's fangs and sharp claws ripped his enemy's throat. He hasn't shifted into his wolf form yet but his strength is undeniably extraordinary. On the other hand, Synth and Drago are fighting the prisoners who escaped. But no amount of beastly strength can stop both the Alphas to defeat their enemies. "Tsk. And here I thought those miscreants are useful," Luther muttered while shaking his head with disappointment. Lucien is talking with Nereza through their mind link. He gave her orders regarding their second plan. They plan to lure the rogues into the forest where five different carriages are waiting. Atticus, Aurora, and the triplets are going to drive the carriage.The first carriage is laced with Ysobella's scent while the rest of the carriage is laced with the Elders' scent. Once they reached their destination the warriors from Aveion will take care of the rest. Raven may not be present, but Lord Gregory did not forget to send their warriors to h
PACK WAR (PART II) 3rd POV"CARNAK! YOU'RE STILL alive?!" Counselor Brack uttered in surprise. "You, traitor! You'll pay for what you did!" the counselor added with rage.But the man named Carnak mockingly laughs at the counselor. "Don't play fool out of me! And how dare you involve the Luna of Crescent Moon Pack with your evil scheme?! You're the traitor here, not me!" Carnak spits at the counselor. "Stop spitting nonsense, cretin. You're the traitor!" The counselor then faced Ysobella. "Don't believe any word he says, Luna Ysobella. He will only hurt you," he added. Ysobella is now confused. She doesn't know who to believe. The two sound convincing but she knows that only one speaks the truth. "Luna Ysobella, listen to me. The counselor is the traitor," Lord Carnak convinced."Stop spitting nonsense, Carnak! You've been working in the Council for so many years now and yet you still chose to betray us!"Ysobella's forehead formed a knot. She doesn't know who to believe. Or do I r
"THANK YOU, ALPHA Raven," she uttered with a warm smile."I should be the one thanking you, if it weren't for you and the counselor we wouldn't have found out who the traitor is," Raven uttered with gritted teeth.Clarrise can feel how angry the Alpha is. She's also disappointed by Lord Carnak's betrayal. If her uncle did not accidentally overhear Lord Carnak talking with the rogue they caught, they wouldn't have found out the truth. She wishes to press further questions so she opens her mouth to speak but her words were left unsaid when Drago loudly clears his throat. "Are you okay, Drago?" Raven asked with worried. But Drago only gave him a cold look before he averted his gaze."Wake him up," Drago refers to Lucien whose still lying unconscious.Clarrise swallowed the lump in her throat before waking Lucien. They need to wake him up before they are discovered by another group of enemies. Raven noticed her hands trembling as she was about to inject the needle into Lucien, so he gra
