Lucian’s POV

I could tell from her inability to stand still that she was drunk and uneasy, which could be justified, but Ella didn’t take it that way; she cried till I carried her to her tent.

“There there, calm down,” I said while patting her back. She didn’t want me to place her on the bed, so she held on tight, unwilling to let go. A sigh escaped my lips. I didn’t sign up for this, but I had to.

“Your mom didn’t mean to yell at you, Princess; she’s not feeling too good; don’t worry; you will be fine; don’t be sad." I had no experience with children, and everything I did felt like it was a mistake, but somehow this mistake of mine happened to soften her heart, and I felt her body calm in my embrace. Her loud cry turned to a muffled whimper, then a series of hiccups.

Soon I felt the tightness of her grip loosen around my neck, so I took it as an opportunity to lay her down on the bed; she was already fast asleep and mildly snoring. I had no idea why I smiled, but I felt a little spar

    Lucian’s POVOne of the wolves I had sent alongside Joan walked up to me.“The queen said she wouldn’t make a deal with a man who isn’t courageous enough to show his face without a mask,” he muttered beside me. A low growl escaped my lips; my appearance had nothing to do with her decision.“The feast is over!” I yelled at the top of my voice; the sound of drums and claps was overshadowed by the lingering sound of murmur.“Go back to your tents, and stay safe!” I concluded before walking out of the ceremony, then towards the healer ward.The Fae queen. She was a widowed Luna whose husband had died in battle, leaving her to take care of the pack in his absence. She had a lot of vacant lands at her disposal, all thanks to her deceased husband, who had secured a lot of land in his tenure as Alpha. Her pack was famous for its vacant and fertile land. But she lacked the necessary population to make a pack grow, so I confided in her concerning my desire to expand my territory I told her I

    Selene’s POV My eyes fluttered open gently; the room was awkwardly bright and spinning.I blinked a few times, then noticed something weird: a pair of eyes staring down at me, totally unmoving; it leaned close to me. I jerked up from the bed in shock, thereby pushing the intruder out of the way.“Wow!” I exclaimed.Finally regaining myself, I lessened my breathing pace, then I stared beside me to see Ella on the floor; she had been staring at me all along.“Oh baby, what are you doing? Why were you standing there? I would have hurt you; are you okay?” I pulled her close, then placed a kiss on her forehead. She leaned away from my hug.“I am fine, mummy. I came to see how you were doing, then I saw you talking in your sleep; you were having a nightmare, and you called Daddy’s name,” she said. heart skipped a beat.Only the goddess knew what exactly she had heard because I had just relived my biggest trauma. In my mind, I was still in the cage. My hands were pinned to the wall by a k

    Selene’s POVShe giggled before retreating.Yeah, they were dating. I had thought so too. She was vibrant, beautiful, and brimming with youthful energy. And he was basically a walking hormone. The way he stroked her hair could only mean they were close. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to ignore the strange bitterness in my chest.Emily’s words had filled in the missing pieces. Joan. She had to be the woman he was calling for that night—the one he begged not to leave when he woke up, disoriented and vulnerable. The dots connected with painful clarity.He must’ve thought it was her that night. Of course he did. Who else could it have been? And now Joan was back, in the flesh, smiling as if she’d never been gone. He probably thought the whole thing was a bad dream, just some figment of his subconscious.But it wasn’t.The realization sent panic clawing at my throat. If they were together—if they’d always been together—should I tell him the truth? Should I confess that it wasn’t his dre

    Lucian’s POVThe meeting had just ended. I was trying to get a clear vision of what to do next. The people should be preparing against winter, which meant we needed to hunt more now to create coats against the cold, and we needed to make more tents and stores for our produce; the rest of the vacant lands could be used for harvest while it was still fertile.That was why I needed to extend the reach of my pack because more rogues would come for shelter and I needed to have enough food to give them. “This part is good for our next hunt; what do you think?” Joan said as she leaned in. I checked the part of the map she had just marked; it was indeed a perfect spot for a hunt, but the most dangerous. “We need our strongest wolves to hunt with us; there’s a possibility of being attacked by multiple bears; that's their habitat .”“Well, we have you; you are the strongest wolf in the pack. With you, I don’t think we need to fear.” She whispered as she weaved my hair backward. I thought abo

    Lucian’s POV The more I stayed inside, the more I felt entrapped in the little pace of mine, so I walked out to take some air and probably let my wolf out in the wild. When I walked out, the first person to catch my attention was the little girl playing with sand just beside my quarters. She must have sensed me staring because she glanced back at me. Her smile broadened then she dusted her arms on her clothes then ran towards me. I subconsciously smiled back at her, when she came towards me, pulled her then tossed her up. She giggled innocently when I caught her. “Uncle Lucian!” She screamed amidst her laughter, her hands tugging on my beard gently before she pulled me in for a hug, she was a bundle of joy. “How are you doing Uncle Lucian?!” “I am fine Ella, you looked really busy when I saw you over there, what were you doing?” “Baking” she blurted, “baking like mummy” she concluded. “Why don’t you go back to baking, I want to take a stroll down the stream, I will see you

    Selene’s POVHis wolf had its eyes fixed on mine, and I found myself standing still and unable to move. I had seen his wolf from afar, and I knew he had a strange wolf compared to most wolves I had seen, but lucians wolf was half my height.His fur was as dark as night, and under the warm sun, his bright brown eyes glimmered. And as it walked toward me, I froze on a spot, drawn to it’s foreign charm. It got close enough to rub its nose on my clothes like it was sniffing me. It must be because it was the first time meeting me in person. “Thanks for bringing her back safely.” I whispered to show my appreciation, but his reaction was unexpected. His wolf shifted back, and Lucian stood before me with a frown on his face. “Get out of my way." His shoulder slammed on mine before he aggressively walked away. This little action had everyone staring at him and murmuring to themselves as he walked into the house. I, on the other hand, was still suffering the pain the impact of his shoulder h

    Selene’s POVHis eyes were fixed on mine as his body towered over me, but I stood with confidence, not letting his attitude break me, but the closeness between us took me back to memory lane.Once, when he wasn’t such an overbearing wolf, he was a boy attending the same language school as me. He had the brightest smile and the calmest voice. I only attended classes because I was certain he was going to be there, and I could hear him speak.One special day, we had collided and fell unto each other; it was the closest we were to each other after years of growing in the same pack and the day he spoke directly with me. Time had stopped, and I found myself falling for his big brown eyes and his facial harmony.We stood up together and he helped me dust my body."Sorry, I bumped into you.” He said. He stretched his hands, and he placed a kiss on my hand. “My name is Lucian.”Now fastforward to the present. He had his hands wrapped around my neck, his teeth clenching hard against each other;

    Selene’s POVWhile still in panic, my eager eyes surveyed the room; everything seemed totally fine, and the only sound my ears could pick was the sizzling sound of the bonfire in the middle of the pack.I stood up from the bed and I covered my little girl; it was best that she slept through anything that was to happen, and while I searched the room for a sharp object, my eyes met a piece of wood at the end of the room, so I took it and I held it close to me.“Estel, where's the wolf, and is it Alex?”“I can’t tell, but they are fast approaching and have passed the borders.”“How did you know if you can’t tell who it is?”“I don’t know Selene; I felt foreign wolves enter the pack, it might be Alex but I can’t tell. You need to raise the alarm,” she continued A sigh escaped my lips as I took a peek through the narrow lines of the hut again; all this made little to no sense at all, but all the same, I could not resist my wolf if there was anything I had learned after my miraculous awaken

He had tried to ask me about my family, which I told him about.Joan properly educated me on my supposed origin, and I did the rest myself. Now that was over, it was time to get my life ready. Casper would be at his home now, probably accepting visitors.Joan told me the celebration wasn’t like ours, it was an overnight thing, where they celebrate on the given day to the next year, and it meant I wasn’t going to have a good sleep either tonight.Now I was standing before the mirror with a bag on my shoulder that could barely hold anything in it, it had barely anything but some ward of cash, but very little to nothing. Not even enough space for a lip gloss against the cold. It was almost useless, but I was recommended it in the store when I went to get clothes, and Joan had recommended these kinds of dresses to.Now I stood there knowing if I

    Joan’s POV With the man on the bed and my legs crossed, I watched him get treated, if Selene was here, he would be walking like nothing happened in less than thirty minutes.It was suffocating not being able to reach out to her, and to make it worse, she had to come back today or tomorrow else Lucian would lose his mind. It kept on coming back to me, it was the first time I lied to Lucian about her wellbeing, and I had dragged this little girl sleeping in my arms. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. I needed to clear my mind before I combusted.“Mate.” My heart sprang with delight as I turned to the merely empty corridors of the ward, and that was when I saw a man standing there, he had his hands in his pocket. His hands waved at me.The bond shimmered in our eyes again, and my grip on Ella’s body tightened. I feared I would drop her if I wasn’t careful enough."Hi,” he said."Hello,” I responded, barely able to hold a proper smile.He wasn’t just any man, he was the

She wanted to ask me if I was the one that Lucian loved. I wasn't but I was willing to harness the privilege.While I sat there thinking about Lucian and all he was going through, Ella played with my hair.“Joan I wanted to tell uncle Lucian that mummy wasn’t around, that she wasn’t back in the truck but I didn’t.” I patted her head.“You are a really smart girl, don’t worry your mom will be back in two days.”“Uncle Lucian would be back in two days too,” she chirped in, I nodd

Same with Ella who was nope resting on my chest, she refused to let me sleep alone, and after sharing the same room with her at night. I didn’t know what peace felt like till I woke up after last night.I didn’t have a nightmare. The pain that came with my existence didn’t seem so bad after all and this early just crawled on my chest and just laid there.“Uncle Lucian, are you sick?” She asked.“Yes.” I said.“Mom told Joan that you are sick and you don’t want her to heal you.” Yes Selene would say that, but how does she think she could save me, if she does she would take my position and she would die, somehow she didn’t think about that.“Mom would be sick if she heals me, so I have to keep her safe.” I said in the plain way possible, Ella went quiet for a while, I looked at the wall clock, lilac w

Like it was some kind of thief.They look pretty normal, but then again I would ask who is a known thief being glorified like this, can he be apprehended? Or ch asked out of the state if he can’t be apprehended by rehab rulers of the city, everyone knew he was a thief he was a thief and they still let him leave.I checked the sides. People were moving freely along the side of the street but I was the only one who had remained stagnant, and one of the guards had proceeded to walk toward me.I didn’t move, I let him walk to me and stand before me.“What are you doing here young lady?” He asked if he grabbed my hands, no one touched me like that, I felt violated. But in a space of things this man was bigger than me, he could apprehend me if he wanted.“I am new to town, saw this place and it looks beautiful.” I said and they shoved me backward, I stood my ground if step was here and

    Selene’s POV After listening to what Joan recorded, I didn’t know how to react to the feeling in my heart. It was beautiful, it was painful and as I listened to it over again I could tell she was holding tears from falling and it made the moment even more beautiful.Joan’s as everything.The record lasted for about seven hours,till she finished an entire book. I stayed up all night deranged in tears as I wrote the full sentence down.By noon I could finally say something, and I could understand some of the things the doctor had said throughout the day. And as embarrassing as it sounded I might as well have been stupid all this while because most of the things he wrote on the board I could finally pick them up.He did so much to talk to me, and I had used my literacy to stress him out, so today I wanted to love around town, I would visit the mall where I will be getting my clothes and I would visit the hospital where he treated people.At least I knew his name.

After so much screaming and shouting we noticed we were viewed as odd in the pack and everyone was looking at us weirdly.I walked up to one of the pack members. “Where’s the chief? Did anything happen to him?” She waved her head. “The chief went to drop some of the pack members at the crescent pack, where the new female Alpha just took one be from her father, we are all going to stay there for three weeks.”Pike…Relief coursed through me, like a calm breeze it soothed my flaming skin. I staggered backward, Ella held me down, she stretched her hands for me to carry her which I did.I didn’t know if I should go to lilacs or just stay here and wait for him, it would be hectic going back to lilac pack mostly that I wasn’t going alone.

She went to bed but I knew fully well that she wasn’t sleeping.No one in their right mind would have a good night's sleep in our current condition. Except for her daughter who had confessed to me earlier that it was all a game, her mother told her they were playing a game and they got to travel.Her smile was infectious and even thinking about how silly she was only made my night a little less suffocating.When I left the pack, I never thought there would be a time when I would be the one to sponsor this heist Selene wanted to embark on, nor did I for once think I would feel bad that she was going to be in trouble.She wanted to go on this mission which in my option was the best thing to do, but then again, it was dangerous and she needed more time to prepare.But it’s delusion to think I will everything in one day but there is a lot that
