We Must Get Them!Lucious POV."Alpha, your mate is in trouble, and your child too." Alex's urgent words hit me like a thunderbolt, causing my heart to race loudly in my chest while my ears rang incessantly. Strangely, instead of further anger, his revelation had a calming effect on me, though my grip on him remained firm.Something about his words didn't sit right. He had blatantly disobeyed my orders by seeking Aurora, and normally, I would have been furious or even inclined to punish him severely. But now, an odd sense of tranquillity enveloped me."Could it be because he mentioned my child? Is that why the tension in the air eased?" Questions swirled in my mind, but answers remained elusive.My fiery anger suddenly turned icy, and I released my tight hold on Alex's clothes. My gaze darted around, as if seeking clarity, but it was as if the answers I sought were just beyond my grasp.The notion of Alex mentioning my child and mate had indeed quelled my anger. Normally, their we
Lucious Is Here?Aurora's POV. Noah's words sent shockwaves through me, leaving me in a state of disbelief. Yet, it appeared that I had no alternative but to place my trust in him, as chaos seemed imminent. There was something about Noah's unwavering determination that compelled me to follow his lead, despite my reservations.As I turned my gaze toward him, I could see the resolute determination in his eyes. He was undoubtedly a capable leader, and yet, I couldn't quite fathom the depth of his affection for me.The room filled with choking smoke, prompting me to carefully wrap my precious baby to shield them from inhaling the noxious fumes. I braced myself to carry out Noah's directives, but to my surprise, he instructed Roy to take the baby from my arms. With surprising strength, Noah scooped me up, cradling me like a superhero, and leaped through the chaos.Behind us, Roy followed suit, holding my baby protectively. When we reached a safer location, he handed the baby back to me
Noah's Death.Lucious POV.The urgency of the situation had led me to make the decision to go with Alex. I knew that this was no trifling matter; it concerned the safety of my mate and our child.We sped toward the pack my mate was in, my car racing through the streets. I implored Alex to push the speed to the limit, ensuring that we arrived as swiftly as possible to protect my mate and my baby, who was likely targeted because of his exceptional abilities as the moon caller, one of the strongest individuals on Earth."Can you drive faster?" I urged, my anxiety noticeable as I fidgeted in my seat. Alex promptly floored the gas pedal, and we surged forward at breakneck speed.Upon reaching the pack, I was greeted by the devastating sight of destruction. My heart pounded with dread, and my eyes scanned the wreckage until I finally spotted my mate.My heart raced when I spotted my mate surrounded by a menacing group of rogues. What truly took me by surprise, however, was the realisation
Painful Past; Painful Tears.Lucious POV.Seeing my own stepbrother bleeding brought back haunting memories of the past.*********"Father, no, you can't do this," I had protested."Lucious, you can't tell me what to do. I am your Alpha and your father!" He had roared, his veins bulging as he asserted his authority from his seat. His eyes bore into me, and despite being his son, I was nothing more than a pawn in his eyes."You're the powerful son of mine. You're the one who must become Alpha, not Noah!" He had declared to me, his words a heavy weight on my shoulders.My body trembled as he yelled at me, and I swallowed my fear as I stormed out of the room, unable to bear his oppressive presence any longer.I had tried to reason with my father, to make him see that he shouldn't be so ruthless with my stepbrother, Noah. We were more than just family; we were best friends who had come to understand and support each other. But despite our close bond, my father continued to make a fuss
Find Out Who They Are!Lucious POV.Alex rushed to my side, his hands gripping my shoulders tightly as he implored me. "Lucious, we have to leave," he urged, his voice filled with urgency. My neck turned slightly to acknowledge his presence, and even though I didn't fully face him, my eyes monitored him from the corner of my vision."We've already captured the rogue who killed Alpha Noah. There's no reason to stay here," he continued, his gaze fixed on me as I cradled Noah's lifeless body in my arms. My heart ached, and as tears flowed, the sky grew even darker.In that moment, I felt like tearing my clothes apart and screaming at him to stay away from me."Lucious, please, listen to me. If we don't leave now, we'll be in grave danger. Please..." His words pleaded for my cooperation, but my grief and anger were still consuming me.Alex was desperately trying to convince me to leave, citing the impending threat of more rogues, but I remained resolute. All I could think about was tha
He Still Hates Me.Aurora's POV.I stepped out of the car, my eyes scanning the desolate surroundings. We were in the middle of nowhere, and a sense of unease washed over me. As I glanced around, my gaze settled on Lucious, who had taken a seat near the house's entrance. His eyes roamed restlessly, and a sombre expression weighed on his face.It was the first time I had seen Lucious like this, and although I sympathised with his pain, my heart still ached for Noah. Noah's death was not our fault; we had all been embroiled in a battle. However, one thing remained clear: Noah was Lucious's step-brother, which made it normal that he had professed his love for me in front of Lucious."Aurora, let's head inside," Alex's hand gently rested on my shoulder, breaking me out of my thoughts. My eyes shifted to him, and he offered a reassuring smile.Alex understood my concern for Lucious, but he also knew I needed some rest after a long day."Where are we?" I inquired as we entered the hous
Calm At My Touch (Forgive My Mate)Lucious POV.I sat in my room, a deep frown etched on my face, when I heard my child crying. His tiny sobs tugged at my heartstrings, and suddenly, I felt a deep pang of regret for how I had treated Aurora earlier.I attempted to find reasons to justify my actions, but no matter how I rationalised it, I couldn't find a single valid excuse for what I had done.Sighing deeply, I closed my eyes and massaged my temples, the frown on my face deepening. I was sincerely trying my best, but it seemed like nothing could justify the way I had treated her. My heart was heavy with remorse.In the midst of my thoughts, Alex burst into the room. His eyes bore into me with anger, and he approached me sternly."What's this all about?" I asked, not bothering to look at Alex, but I could sense his anger. What I couldn't fathom was why he was so upset. He had no right to be angry, and his intrusion into my room felt unwarranted."Aurora, it's about the way you treate
Lucious' povMy lips were entangled with hers, my hands grabbing her waist when I pulled out. She was shocked, her eyes widened with needs as she turned red from embarrassment. She was breathless, her eyes staring at me fixed on me as desire showed in them. She wanted me badly, there was no doubt that she missed what I did to her last time, and I couldn't deny either, how much I loved her skin against mine, rubbing together to create hot friction."Aurora, I'm sorry as well." My words were so sincere, and I was able to lift her up in my hands earning a gasp from her. She smiled, her lips pressed together when she had gotten used to what I did. She was still shocked that I had carried her like that."What are you doing?" She asked, still not being able to look at my face, her hands were fixed on my waist, and I felt my wolf growling inside of me. It has been so long since I had sex with her, but I was willing to give her a chance again. She was mine, and no one was going to stop me
