The Alpha's Secret Daughter 137 - The Office
LUCY:"What was that about in the dungeon? You seemed scared after we left," Trish asks as we head back to the packhouse.I wasn't sure how to explain to her what I saw, so I shrugged it off. "Mom calls it Dragon Eyes," Trish responds at random.I stop in my tracks and look at her. What is she referring to? The way my eyes shift?"Your mom could never do that, or at least I had never seen her do it. I was curious, and when I mentioned it to my mom, she said it's been many years since a Fae was gifted with that kind of magic," Trish smiles, looping her arm through mine as we continue walking.We were walking back from visiting the hospital. The girls were in high spirits. They loved the clothes that Liam had picked out. He really had the best taste. I was glad he was there to finish up their shopping because it really wasn't my thing.Tricia was excited about their marks but hadn't said much, which didn't surprise me as the girls were present, and Trish was very kept to herself about

LUCY:As I was thinking about what I had said to Liam at the waterfall, I realized that the truth had only become apparent to me after I said it out loud.This acknowledgment started to make me nervous.Tricia is fidgeting nervously next to Sybil. "Sybil, you didn't answer Lucy's previous question. Who do we say our truths to?" Trish pipes us again before Sybil can answer my second question.We were both eager to understand the rituals of this pack.I know I need to get Tricia alone so we can talk; something is definitely up with her.Tricia is looking at Sybil with desperate eyes, waiting for her to answer her question."There is no science to it all, sweetie," Sybil responds, making Tricia's face fall. She was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of sharing secrets, and I couldn't blame her; I had felt that way for so many years."It's like magic, really. It was how I was able to open my heart fully to Leander," Sybil says, in a dream-like state.She looks off into space for a while

Lucy:I woke up the next day, unaware of when I had even fallen asleep while waiting for Tricia.As I looked around the room, she was nowhere to be found.I pulled myself out of bed, still in my clothes from yesterday.The sun is barely peeping over the mountains, which now has snow blanketing the tops.As I get into the shower, I feel a nudge in my skull, and my lips curl into a smile.'Good morning, mate,' I hear Liam.'I miss you,' I link back.'You do? I miss you too. What are you doing? I wasn't sure if you'd be up this early after your sleepover,' Liam links.'I'm showering, and I'm not sure it was a sleepover. Tricia seems to have left me last night for Saul,' I giggle through the link.He doesn't link back, which I found odd, but I finished up my shower.Wrapping a towel around my body, I walked back into my room to find Liam sitting patiently on my bed.'You didn't lock the door?' Nia perks up.I swore that I did. He must have had a master key or something."You really just we

Tricia:Lucy looked so much like her mom in the black and silver gown. It was my favorite of all of Enya's gowns. It was a bodycon-style gown that hugged every curve down to her knees, where it flowed into lace all the way down to her ankles.Mom had revealed more to me on our way back to the pack grounds the other night.There were things she made me promise not to tell Lucy, while there was one thing that she hadn't made me promise.If I ended up spilling all of my secrets tonight, I at least wanted to be able to share the one thing that I could openly.I sit down on the bed next to her and grab her hands."You are my best friend, too, Luce, but you're more than that," I say, taking a deep breath."Your mom, Enya, she is my Aunt Enya. Our moms are sisters," I say with a smile.She stares at me, searching my face for a moment."You can't cry. I spent too long on your makeup, and it's not all waterproof," I tell her, making her laugh and sniffle.It made sense now why my mom and I co

LUCY:Sparks ran down both sides of my neck as Liam and Leon both publicly claimed me in a way that I had never experienced by anyone before.Being acknowledged in such a profound way made my heart feel like it could burst.'The things that dress make me want to do to you, Lucy,' Liam lets me know exactly how he feels as his growl sends shivers through my soul.'Just wait until you take it off.' Leon comments, making it known that we're linking together.I smile like they're not affecting me at all as we exit the stage.I didn't miss Savina's stares. She felt empty when I looked at her ever since I saw what was inside of her.The next several hours went smoothly. Theo's grand fireworks entrance electrified the atmosphere of the festival and took everyone's eyes off me. I appreciated this so much."Luna," Acelynn bows at me."None of that. I'm not Luna yet, and I prefer just Lucy," I smile, lifting her head with her chin.I can't believe she is out of the hospital already. She looks br

LUCY:"That was quite the announcement," Seth says as he reaches our table."Kragen already knows she is with us, and he is somewhere hiding like a coward anyway. There is no reason to deny Lucy her title anymore," Leon explains their decision to start saying things as they truly were.I guess I was so used to hiding who I was that I felt it was normal when it really wasn't normal at all.Seth sits down next to Liam, across from Leon and me. I can tell he is trying not to look at me too much. I suddenly felt bad about wearing this dress.'Lucy-' Nia starts to say something, but Seth speaks up, and we both snap to his attention."I agree. If anything, your announcement may spread and get him to come out of hiding," he looks at me briefly before pausing and looking at Leon."I know tonight is important with the festival going on, but I was hoping to train with Lucy tonight for a while. Her challenge is tomorrow, and I think she could use a warm-up beforehand," Seth says, looking at Liam

Liam:After Lucy left, the festival broke apart, and people went about their night a bit more. I could tell that Leon noticed everyone constantly swarming around Lucy as well.We spend the next hour mingling and praising the pack. So many had contributed to the festival in noticeable ways.Dad always taught us that praise created loyalty that fear could never match. "I know Seth is our best friend, but I still don't trust him with Lucy," I say as we leave the last tent at the border of the festival.Even after what happened with Lucy and Seth, Leon seemed hardly concerned.Leon ignores most of what I say. As I look up at him, I turn in the direction he is smiling.Tricia and Saul are coming out of the tree lines looking rather smitten."You'd feel if they did anything, brother. Trust Lucy. I'm not wasting any more time overthinking what I want. I want her, that's all. You'd be wise to change your mindset before you push her away again." Leon tells me in a round about how he isn't thr

Lucy:Was I imagining that? Was I starting to feel things that I wanted to just because I had some feelings or connection with Seth?I couldn't stop thinking about his touch.I could tell that Seth's intentions were not just to help me warm up before tomorrow, but rather, he was worried about me.I hadn't been inside the gym much. It was spacious. At least three hundred warriors could train here comfortably."Stretch," Seth says with a smile. "You're not going to scold me for being petty? I do have another reason, you know? Whether some of my reasoning has bad intentions, I also want to help Gatheo," I explained.I sit down and start stretching my legs, waiting for him to speak up, but he just looks at me thoughtfully instead.Never prying too much, just letting me speak as I do naturally."You know I could never scold you for that, Lucy. I was there that night and the following day. I just needed to know, and I needed you to admit it out loud. Now come on," he says, extending his ha

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

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
