Lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize that Lucian had awoken until I felt his presence behind me."Good morning, sleepyhead," I teased, turning around to face him with a mischievous smile. "I see someone finally decided to join the land of the living."Lucian's eyes sparkled with amusement as he approached me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

As my eyes fluttered open, I found Calla standing by the window, her delicate silhouette framed by the sunlight. There was a peacefulness in her presence, a serene beauty that captivated me."Good morning, love," I murmured, my voice still laced with traces of sleep. A warm smile graced my lips as I watched her turn to face me, her eyes sparkling with affection."Good morning, sleepyhead," she replied, her voice filled with tenderness. "I see someone finally decided to join the land of the living. You finally decided to wake up, huh?

Lucian's POVAs we lay on the bed, the soft sheets cradling us, Calla and I engaged in lighthearted banter. Our laughter filled the room, a melodic symphony that echoed with our shared joy. I couldn't resist the urge to play with her hair, my fingers weaving through the silky strands, marveling at their softness. Calla's eyes sparkled with delight, her playful nature shining through as she traced patterns on my bare chest, her fingertips leaving a trail of warmth in their wake."Your touch is like magic," I whispered, my voice filled with reverence as I leaned closer to her. "Every time you run your fingers through my hair, it ignites a fire within me."Calla's laughter danced in the air, a sound that brought a smile to my lips.

Finally, the sound of the door opening and closing sent a surge of relief through my veins, and I eagerly rushed to greet him.But as I approached him, I noticed the heaviness etched on his face, the weight of worry dragging down his features. My heart sank, and the joy I had felt moments ago dissolved into concern. Something was wrong, and I had to know what it was.I guided Lucian to the edge of the bed, urging him to sit down. With gentle hands, I began to undress him, my touch seeking solace and comfort amidst the storm that raged within his mind. As I removed each garment, I noticed the tension in his muscles, the vulnerability that lurked beneath his exterior.With a trembling voice, I asked, "What happened, Lucian? Why do you look so troubled?"He took a deep breath, his gaze meeting mine with a mixture of sadness an

Her gaze, filled with affection, met mine, and I couldn't help but tease her, "Am I that handsome that you can't take your eyes off me?"Calla feigned innocence, her lips curling into a mischievous grin. "Oh, Lucian, don't flatter yourself too much," she replied playfully. "I was just enjoying the view of my incredibly attractive mate waking up."Chuckling softly, I sat up and stretched, feeling the pleasant ache in my muscles after a night of restful sleep. Calla's attention shifted as she reached for something beside her, and soon enough, she placed a steaming cup of tea in my hands. The fragrant aroma wafted up, filling my senses, and I took a grateful sip.The herbal infusion danced on my taste buds, delivering a soothing and refreshing sensation to my weary body.

Lucian's POVLeaving Alpha Darwin's office, my mind buzzed with a flurry of thoughts and concerns. The revelation of the Dark Fangs' involvement in the recent attacks weighed heavily on my shoulders. Their malevolence and the threat they posed to not just our pack but my Uncle's pack as well was undeniable. The letter sent by Axel, filled with threats and a declaration of war, played vividly in my mind. It was a chilling reminder of the imminent danger that loomed over us.As I walked along the familiar hallways, the soft glow of the lamps casting a warm light, my thoughts turned to Calla. She had always been my pillar of strength, my confidante in times of uncertainty.

Lucian's POVAs our discussion came to a close, a sense of determination filled the air. Calla and I had thoroughly brainstormed and outlined our strategic plan to address the threats posed by Axel and the Dark Fangs. The depth of her insights and her ability to think strategically amazed me once again. With a firm resolve, I knew it was time to bring our ideas to Alpha Darwin and the board."Calla," I said, looking into her eyes with a serious yet affectionate gaze, "your plan is exceptional. It's time we present it to Alpha Darwin and the board for their consideration. I have full confidence in your ability to articulate our strategy and convince them of its merits."A smile of determination curved her lips as she nodded in agreement. "Lucian, I'm ready. We've put so much thought into this plan, and I believe it's the best way forward for our pack. Together, we will make a compelling case to Alpha Darwin and gain their support."With a sense of purpose, we both stood up, shedding ou
Lucian's POV We were both standing in the shower, feeling the warm water cascading over our bodies. The steam enveloped us, making us feel cozy and comfortable. We were lathering each other's skin, our hands moving with gentle caresses. I watched as droplets of water trickled down Calla's smooth skin, her hair clinging to her shoulders. With delicate strokes, I washed away the sweat and grime from our morning exercises. I felt a surge of affection for this remarkable woman by my side as I massaged shampoo into her hair. Once we were thoroughly cleansed, we stepped out of the shower, wrapping ourselves in plush towels. We dried off before moving to the counter. I poured a generous amount of body lotion into my palm before smoothing it onto Calla's skin. In turn, she applied lotion to my skin. We indulged in a ritual of self-care, applying a rich body butter to nourish and pamper our skin. As we stood side by side, our bodies now enveloped in a soft sheen, Calla turned to me with a m
