The Alpha's Secret Daughter 114 - Leaving Me Alone with Them
Lucy: I have to reel my thoughts back in, as many ideas and notions are starting to arise within me."To be fair, I didn't recite anything like you normally would when I marked Leon's wrist. I'm surprised it left a marking at all," I explain, puzzling everyone at the table."It could be because I didn't swear you into the pack traditionally. You never rejected your old pack, did you, Lucy?" Leander asks."Was I supposed to?" I ask, genuinely confused."Hmmm, this is all very different than anything I have experienced before. If they feel comfortable letting you mark their wrist to help with their healing process, I'm okay with that, Lucy," Leander says."When can we have a marking and mating ceremony? Can we just do the Luna ceremony at the same time?" Leon asks.I can't even comment or react before Liam's chair screeches on the ground, causing me to finally look in his direction.I had been avoiding him entirely the best I could."Wait!" I say quickly.Leon walks over and picks me up

Lucy:I want to be the person strong enough to tell him no, but the bond is pulling me into him like a curse I can't get rid of.I don't have time to respond, though, before Leon pipes up."Haven't you done enough, brother?" Leon says, grabbing my hand and pulling me up to stand next to him.Liam frowns and looks at the table, breaking my heart for him even if he doesn't deserve as much from me right now."Come on," Leon says, tugging me by the hand after Liam didn't say anything in response.I feel torn between Leon and Liam in a way that hurts my soul. Liam had said cruel things to and about me, yet the bond wanted me to comfort him. He suddenly looked so sad.I let Leon drag me out. I feel depleted.To be considered sloppy seconds was one of the most heartbreaking things he could have possibly said to me.Although he referred to me as Leon's seconds, if he knew how many had me before him, he surely wouldn't want me then.Maybe it was all for the best.Now that I'm in the fresh air

Lucy:Leon is not a fan of this idea but he doesn't continue to argue."Be up by sunrise. I'll meet you in the training field before the other warriors get there," Liam says curtly before turning and going to his room.The atmosphere was tingling with the uncertainty I held in my heart.Sybil walks over to me and gives me a gentle hug."It will all work out, Lucy," she says before grabbing Leander's hand and retiring to their room for the night."It's only for a few days. Once the festival is over and the challenge is finished, it sounds like we can finally mark each other," I smile at Leon.He is visibly upset. I don't blame him. This has been the longest day in history.I didn't want Leon and Liam to be at odds with each other. Especially not because of me. What Sybil and Leander had said about Liam and Leon's bond made me feel like I was ripping apart two people who needed each other more than they needed me.They were born with a bond that most people only found if they were fated

Lucy: Liam's next attack, same thing. Over and over again, I'm dodging him.Playing with him like a toy. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I was having fun doing this.'How are you moving so quickly?' Nia asks.'I thought you were giving me your strength and agility?' I say, now confused.'Nope,' she laughs."What the hell, Lucy! How do you have vampire-like speed?" Liam says he actually looks pissed off. He can't seem to land a single attack on me.I had never tried to dodge an attack this way before. With Seth, I wanted to learn; with Liam, I just wanted to get away from him."Wait, Vampires are real?" I ask, finally stopping from bouncing back and forth on my toes."Are you serious?" He says, with his hands on his knees now, catching his breath.'How are you not tired?' Nia asks.She's right. I'm hardly out of breath. "Lucy, you really need to spend a few days in the library. Leon is going to have his hands full with you," he responds, shaking his head.Maybe it wasn't inten

Lucy:She leaned down and gave him the wettest, slobbery lick across his face before backing off of him and trotting over to Leon.She started licking the blood from his lip. He starts laughing."Thank you, Nia," he says, lifting himself into a sitting position.Nia is enjoying his attention, soaking in his touch as he starts petting her fur."Holy shit, no wonder your mom never wanted you to shift in front of anyone. You're obviously no ordinary werewolf either," Seth says, now walking over.Nia is purring at the compliment. She desperately needed to feel this kind of attention after yesterday."May I?" Seth asks, holding out his hand.Nia turned her snout and rubbed her wet nose against his hand, letting him know it was okay.We liked it when people asked permission. Seth was always so intuitive; I can feel how much Nia appreciates this about him right now."Your eyes are kind of scary," Seth comments, making me laugh.'We get that a lot, don't we?' I giggle.'Good, everyone should

LIAM:'You're an idiot. I can't believe how much you've messed everything up,' Bo shouts in my head.Lucy's wolf is beautiful. We knew this the first time we saw her shift, but this time, it's different.'Her name is Nia, you'd know that if you weren't a dumbass,' Bo says.He is pissed at me for everything I did and said. While I do understand where he is coming from, I wish he could empathize with me just a tiny bit.Nia's howl rips through my soul. Bo is howling in my head with her. They don't want to let this bond go, but I know that I'm doing what's best for us and the pack.Every part of me wanted to chase after her, mark her, and make her mine, but I didn't see a way for that to happen."You're lucky you're dealing with Leon and not me. I'd have you packing," I hiss at Seth as we stand there waiting for Lucy and Leon to get back.He frowns at me and doesn't say anything.'You've lost your mind, Liam. What is wrong with you?' Bo pleads.I don't respond. I have nothing to say. No

LUCY:My heart skipped a beat the way Liam kept referring to me as the future Luna.I couldn't lie to myself anymore; I liked that he was sticking up for me and, more importantly, sticking up for the Omega rank in general.I wasn't an Omega, but I knew a few of the warriors on the grounds were. Savina was being stuck up for no good reason."Can I hold you?" Leon asks after kissing my forehead."Uh, I can walk. That will be weird," I say, raising my eyebrow at him for his request."It would help me," he whispers.'He's not showing it, but he is nervous about talking with Seth and Liam. Your scent will calm him down. Let him,' Nia comments.I look over at Liam and Seth before looking back at Leon. I shouldn't feel so weird doing this in front of the other two, but I kind of do."Okay," I say, shrugging.He leans down, grabbing my hips. I quickly wrap my legs around his mid and my arms around his neck.Seth and Liam walk ahead of us. He lets me slide down him a bit so my head can rest on

LUCY:"I will need all of you to hold my hands," I explain, moving over to squish their beds closer.They're hesitant but surprisingly curious, so they scootch to the edges of their beds to reach me in the middle."I want to warn you, I'm going to show you something, and there is some nudity," I say, with my cheeks turning pink.I didn't exactly want to show them this; it was a very intimate memory for Leon and me, but I needed them to trust me.I reach out both arms, allowing them to clasp their hands in mine while the middle girl looks at me."You can hold one or both," I tell her. She reaches out and grabs one hand on top of the other girls. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath, focusing on the memory that I want to share with them.I've never done this before, so I'm going on instinct and praying that it works.It's the strangest experience, which is saying a lot to me at this point.I can feel them all collectively in my position as Leon starts pulling me out of my rage.

Lucy:"The stronger the magic within a person, the harder it was to control myself," Zeak admits.I watch as he sits down on the cot in the corner of the cell now.I hadn't felt my magic back then but I guess he could.I wanted a better answer but I guess it could be that simple."Rosie would do something. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but for a moment, I would see clarity. I started having her be there all of the time, and I saw clearly the more she was around. Kragen said she was an abomination and needed to be killed. I sold her instead," he admits."You're going to go back to your pack. Tell them you escaped somehow. I don't care what lies you have to come up with; it needs to be believable," I state.I feel Leon's grip around me tighten, and a growl elicits from each of my mates.'We didn't talk about this, Lucy. You can't make that decision without Dad,' Liam links me.He's right. I need to talk with Leander, but my mates will soon be taking over the pack, and we also need to

LEON:'Don't mess this up,' B warns me.Lucy's trust meant everything to me. B and I have been getting restless because she runs off on her own all the time.It had to stop now.I put my arm out, stopping Seth and Liam from proceeding toward Zeak's cell.'Just give her a minute first,' I suggest through our link.It was interesting how being marked with Lucy now gave us the ability to link with Seth, too.Neither of them responds, but they don't try to move forward either.We watch as Lucy approaches the cell and stops to face Zeak's.She stands there for several moments, not saying a word, and Zeak doesn't say anything either. My heart thunders in my chest.Simply knowing that she is in his presence and that he gets to look at her makes me sick to my stomach, but I push my feelings aside for the sake of Lucy's trust in us."When did you notice the change?" These were Lucy's first words, or rather, a question for Zeak.I can now hear sobbing coming from Zeak's cell. It doesn't sound l

Lucy:Leon got the brunt end of the deal when it came to my affection.He had to see the way I flinched at any sudden touch or movement toward me.The way my mind wrapped up in anxiety the moment I started to let myself go, and the way my body revolted at any bit of love he tried to give me at first.While Seth had spent so much time showing me friendship and the slow burn of a connection only that type of relationship could provide, Leon had gone head-first into committing to me and showing me safety in love and intimacy.He never second-guessed me or our bond.He never judged or looked at me differently.He put work into helping me get comfortable enough to approach intimacy.Of course, he was upset.I didn't want it to be this way, either."Leon... please talk to me," I murmur, entering our bedroom alone.He looks over at me, clearly still angry, but looks at me anyway."It's hard for me to explain things when I'm not really sure of them myself," I start.I'm nervous about how he wi
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 177 - Bad News
Lucy:Leon snapped his bond shut, but I felt the anger seep through before he could."You don't understand. I had to," I rush out, trying to defend myself for some reason.Liam's grip on me tightens. "Why the hell would you do that?" Leon growls."Woah, Leon, chill. Let her explain," Seth remarks, looking from me to Leon.A knock comes at the front door, just in time. Saved by the bell, so to speak."We're not done having this conversation!" Leon hisses, pointing his finger at me.'He'll get over it,' Liam links me, likely to avoid pissing Leon off any further, but it doesn't make me feel any better."What crawled up your butt?" I hear Trish before she pushes past Leon and trots into the kitchen.She stops and looks around the room for a second."This doesn't look like the best time for bad news, but I've been waiting almost a week to tell you guys," she says, squinting one eye.Great.Leon's large presence comes from behind Trish. He's refusing to open his bond up with me."Well, spi

Lucy:Seth looks at me thoughtfully for a moment.The idea of how and why the pack is blessed seemed to have suddenly confused him as well."I never thought about that. I assumed it had to do with our strength and wealth. This pack has had minimal rogue attacks, has always done well financially, and hasn't suffered in many different ways that other packs have," Seth suggests.He's right, though. They have seemed to have good luck OR make the right choices."Hecate wiped the history for a good reason. She doesn't want anyone to know she's been looking over this pack. She gave the line of Alphas the ability to find their mates and their families' mates. You understand better than I do how much strength that gives a pack alone," I say, tapping my toes on the ground excitedly as we piece together the mystery that's been driving me mad."Wait. Hecate gave them that gift? The Moon Goddess grants the Alpha lineage their special strength," Seth argues, his voice slightly irritated at me for gi

Lucy:The next several days were spent doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and exploring our connection and dynamic.The more intimate I was with my mates, the more the magic settled and relieved the pain of what I had experienced.We knew that once this time came to an end, things wouldn't be the same. So many variables were hanging in the balance, weighing heavily on our shoulders.My mates were still sleeping, but the stress of it all made me restless.I zip into my Fae form and zoom into the study down the hall, ensuring that my mates stay resting in bed.This would likely be the last time for a while that they get to rest that peacefully.'You're getting good at that. It makes me dizzy when you do it, though,' Nia whines.'It makes me dizzy still, too,' I sigh.Sitting at the desk, Liam had picked out for me, I rummaged through the drawers, finding a paper and pen to jot down my list of things to do.1. Visit Savina and ZeakThere was nothing similar between their situations. I kn

Lucy:Liam and I didn't get nearly the rest that the other two had, but I don't think either of us minded.We lost track of time and count after I decided to put Seth and Leon to sleep for the night.There was no sense in all of us being awake and marking Liam had turned something on in me I couldn't deny and needed to explore.He didn't complain.I had to mark Liam twice to get the rest of my magic from him. Yet another thing neither of us was bothered by.That time was more than pleasant. Liam had awakened my soul in a way I didn't know was possible.It created a hunger for the remainder of my magic, and for the last mark, I needed to bear.Just like Nadia had said, it just took a little push from Liam to get me started.Liam and I had maybe a few hours of sleep before getting up, showering, and sharing another tub of ice cream while watching a movie and waiting for my other mates to wake up from their forced slumber.I was excited to be this way with Leon. He was my patient mate—the
The Alpha's Secret Daughter 173 - Good Morning
Leon:The moment Lucy relaxed, I left the bathroom. I didn't feel uncomfortable being there; I just knew they needed to seal their bond.It was the one connection Lucy had that she hadn't gained confidence in.I found Seth eating some of the leftovers from Jason's buffet."She ate?" he asks, not looking back to even see who had entered the room.We have all become very intuned with each other over the last several days."We're on the up," I say, piling food onto my plate."What research were you doing in the library with Lucy?" Seth asks, not looking up from his plate.I hadn't realized he had noticed. He was always far more observant than anyone gave him credit for."Other supernatural beings. Lucy thinks Rosie is a siren." I knew Lucy wouldn't mind me sharing the information.She only wanted to do it privately with me because she knew I took those studies seriously, and it would go by faster and smoother without too many people asking questions.I hear Seth's fork clinking against th

Lucy:Leon helped me get into the bath.My body feels like it's been run over, put back together, and run over again. Every muscle aches with the burning of a thousand suns.For now, I'm okay. For now, the mental pain has stopped.I wanted to rest, but my mind and soul were racing on a track that felt endless.I need it to end."Lucy, how can we help you?" Leon asks.He grabs the edge of the bathtub, lowering himself down to sit by the side of the tub.I relived every death of every Silver Throne Fae Queen before me. My neck still felt the remnants of my throat being crushed.'It hurts. Especially after eating,' I mind link Leon.He perks up in his position. He's satisfied by the way that I'm finally speaking to him.Even if it's through a mind link.It's been difficult to find any words to say in the past few days. I don't want to answer questions. I don't want to explain what I know. Bits and pieces are still sorting themselves in my brain.I know half-truths. One side to each story
