Lucian

“I suspected,” I said carefully, trying to keep my tone even. “The scent……her scent was faint and I did want to say anything until I was sure.”

Maddox narrowed his eyes down at me, and for a moment I thought he was going to accuse me of something outright, but instead he turned to his warriors. “Double your efforts, we might be onto something here.” He said, his lips curling into a smirk.

I shook my head in disbelief and I watched the warriors obey immediately and started combing out the area. My stomach churned with unease, hoping that Fiona wasn’t anywhere close to this area.

Maddox knew she could be close now, he had a chance to punish her for what she did to his daughter and I was positive that he would take that advantage at any chance he got.

I took another look at the fall from the cliff’s edge. The blood confirmed that she had definitely been here, but where could she have gone? The cliff was too high for anyone to survive a fall. And yet, her scent had ended abruptl

  • The Lost Luna: Pregnant for the betraying alpha    Chapter 25

    LucianIn record time, I got back to the rogue's territory, my chest heaving and beads of sweat rolled down my body as I tried to catch my breath. The flames that ate at the tents and buildings had now died down. Thick smoke filled the clearing and dead rogues were sprawled on the entire ground. My eyes scanned the area to see where Gareth was, but I couldn’t find him in sight. I attempted to sniff for his scent but it was only the thick smoke that filled my nostrils. Tracking his scent was a no, so I mindlinked instead. My eyes glossed over, “Gareth, report your location,” I commanded. Gareth responded almost immediately, “alpha, I have the rogue in a small clearing next to the isolated building at the edge of the territory.”I scanned around until my eyes came in contact with the narrow building at the far end of the battle scene. I walked carefully towards the building, my feet barely making a sound as I moved with caution. I knew Maddox was already heading back here to find me

    FionaThe path we had followed all the way here was eerie, mysterious and downright treacherous. I was still stunned by the unexpected way we got down from that cliff. The way Orion’s men were so quick and organized to bring us down made me conclude that it was their first time being up and off that cliff. Orion barked orders at them and the men seemed to obey without questions. They feared him. The way they cower at his presence almost made me question if he was really my brother or if it was just a shapeshifter pretending to be him. In our pack, Orion was never considered to be someone with a frightening demeanor, Lucian was, and that was why the elders had made him alpha instead of Orion. It was hard to believe, but I was pretty certain that the figure in front of me was my brother. As he is the only one who calls me little bird. However, my big brother now had his little bird shackled in silver chains. It had taken me quite a while to recover from the shock that Orion ordered h

    FionaI was dumbfounded. My body froze on the spot and my blood ran cold. I felt a clutch on my chest and for a second my heart stopped. The hair on the back of my neck stood, a wave of shock and fear crawling up my spine. Time seem to slow down as I watched these strange people threat Orion like a god. I tried to solve the puzzle in my head but it just didn’t make any sense. My brother who had just been missing for a few weeks was now an alpha of another pack. One of the women from the crowd threw a large brown furred cloak on their Alpha’s shoulder to protect him from the morning cold. Orion smiled at her and the woman’s face warmed up. Orion turned to me, “come on,” he said, stretching out his hand. It was at that moment that I snapped out of my daze. I looked down at his thick hairy hand but I hesitated. The man standing before me looked like a complete stranger, a god and a demon in the same soul. I wanted to take his hand so he could take me away from the commotion of his p

    FionaThe blonde warrior rested his back on the edge of the entrance, his eyes darted from Rhena's face to mine and then back at Rhena again. He moved his weight away from the door, taking a few steps closer to the bed. “Tell who what?” He asked again, this time his tone demanded a quick response. I fidgeted, hoping Rhena would be my new secret keeper and not rat me out to the warrior. I took a quick glance at her but she quickly avoided my eyes. She stood up and faced the warrior, dipping her hands into the pocket of her lab coat, she sighed, and I knew right then and there that she would expose me. “Beta Nox, I’m afraid Fiona here might have lost her wolf,” Rhena said, looking Nox dead in the eyes. For a moment, a wave of relief washed over me, and I was glad that she didn’t reveal my pregnancy. But then my relief was quickly replaced by shock. At first I thought she had just said that just to throw Beta off from knowing about my pregnancy. But then I remembered when last I had

    FionaMy body froze, and my blood immediately ran cold, matching the temperature of the door. I could hear my pulse pumping into my ears as my heart began to beat in rhythm to the heat of the moment. I wanted to believe the thought that my ears could be deceiving me, after all, I had just woken up from passing out. I thought I might have been hallucinating or hearing things due to the medications I was given. But then, I remembered what those two warriors had told me right before Orion knocked them out. The rogue king had also claimed not to be the one behind the attack on silver fang. Although, I knew I shouldn’t believe the words of a rogue as they were all known to be lying and cunning creatures, but there also wasn’t any reason for him to have lied back then since he had me bound. The lost pieces of the puzzle were now being revealed. My brother was up to something. The warrior sighed, “we can’t,” he said. Orion growled at his response, his chest rumbled, sending vibrations d

    Fiona…….“So tell me, how did you know my wolf was gone?” I asked as soon as Rhena rolled me out of the hospital building. My question sounded a bit awkward and poorly timed, knowing that she was a doctor, but I was only curious to know if those tiny beeping monitors could detect Mera’s absence within me. Also, I wanted to keep her distracted from knowing my true intent of being out here. The sun’s warm glow gave my skin a soft kiss, the outside breeze threatening to pull my hair off my head and the satisfying scent of nature and wildlife filled my nostrils. “Your wounds,” Rhena replied, “the smallest of your wounds did not heal, so I took a better look. Even the alpha, your brother, told me that he had mistakenly dug his claws into your arm several hours ago.”She continued, “when i calculated, your wound should have sealed up a few hours ago, but when it didn’t, I conducted other tests that helped me finally confirm.” She explained, nodding a greeting to a nearby pack member as

    FionaIn my mind, the disappointing truth was that I had nothing to offer him. I only said that just to get him interested in a conversation, and now my plan had worked. Darmacus stepped into the light, his golden eyes were locked in mine and a chill rushed down my spine by the mere sight of his scarred face. “What makes you think I would want to have any deal with you?” Darmacus hissed, taking slow steps closer to the barricaded cell gate. He chuckled, a dark humorless sound that vibrated through the walls of his cell. “You have the guts to come here and spew nonsense because I had spared your life?” He took another step forward. All my instincts screamed at me to run for my dear life. But I was naturally stubborn and I just stood there, my heart starting to pound as I wondered if he could actually break through the cell gate and get to me. The cell gates were not just silver coated, they were made out of pure silver, built to keep dangerous people like darmacus in. I could even

    Fiona As I stood there frozen under Orion’s piercing gaze, not knowing the next words to say, the sound of a running footfall could be heard coming towards us. Both our heads snapped to the direction where the sound was coming from, and I wasn’t surprised to see Rhena running towards us. She halted a few feets from us, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. Her eyes darted from Orion’s face then back to mine repeatedly. “Alpha,” she gave a small bow, acknowledging his presence before turning to me. “Fiona, why did you stand up from your wheelchair? You’re not yet strong enough to walk around like this,” she said and then stopped to take in a better view of the place she was in. “And what are you doing here?” She asked, her eyes wide with worry. Orion cleared his throat loudly, “thank you, Rhena, but I think I’ll take it from here now. Her treatment will now continue inside my wing in the packhouse.”Rhena’s lips split slightly open in surprise, she turned her gaz

    LucianI took another swig of the horrid whiskey. I wasn’t a drinker—I never was, but the burning sensation in my throat is exactly what I needed for now. I need to make myself forget about her—about her betrayal. I was going to talk to my elders about why the secret of our mission to the sacred pack was exposed to the pack members, but as soon as I received that letter on my warrior’s dead body, the topic had to change. Dexter stirred uneasily inside me, and I was mirroring every pain, anger and frustration he was going through in the space of my mind. How can our mate, who was so meek and gentle, be capable of something so cruel?I fiddled the letter in-between my fingers. I didn’t want to believe that she could be behind this, but there it was. Her scent. Lingering faintly in the air, and clinging into my senses like the talons of a falcon to its prey. I flipped the letter open again for the hundredth time this morning. My eyes carefully scan each word like they could suddenly h

  • The Lost Luna: Pregnant for the betraying alpha    Chapter 51

    FionaThe woods fell silent, the tension hanging thick in the air. Pius stared at his subordinates dead in their eyes. And I knew it. My plan worked. He doesn’t want to be the only loose end. Deep down he also wanted to involve them in his mess. The moment stretched on for eternity as Pius weighed his options. He looked down at me briefly before looking back at his angry men. And just when it felt like he wouldn't give in, he pointed his finger out. “That one is xais,” he said, pointing to the person on the right. Xais growled, “you bastard,” he yelled, unsheathing his sword. Pius didn't seem to be bothered or even slightly moved by his outburst. He simply just pointed to the person on the right, “and this is Damiel,” he revealed. Damiel expected it. He didn’t growl or fidget uncomfortably. He stood calm, but yet his expression spoke of anger at their superior, who had just ratted them out. “I have kids, Pius, if you say my name, the alpha won’t spare my family once he finds ou

    Fiona“What’s so funny?” Pius growled, tightening the chain around my wrist, and I winced at the pain. Even with the pain, my smile didn't waver. I couldn’t help it. The joy that was starting to grow inside me. If mera was still inside me, then I can still prevent this war between Orion and Lucian from happening. Pius growled at me for my continuous smiling but later, he ignored me. His subordinates were done unbuckling the horse. Pius shoved me forward once more, and at that moment, it hit me. An idea that can help me keep these men distracted while I find a means of escape. “Hey, pius,” I called, looking over my shoulder. He let out another growl, this time it caught the attention of the other men. His hand found my neck, and in the twinkle of an eye, I was gasping for breath. “Don’t you dare say my name ever again, do you hear me?” He yelled, holding my neck for a moment longer, waiting for an answer. And I nodded quickly. He slightly pushed me back as he released his grip fr

    FionaMy eyelids felt heavy as I peeled them open. I blinked hard, trying to figure out where I was. The scent of old wood filled my nostrils, my eyes darted around to see that I was in a confined space—a four-cornered wooden space. My head felt bigger than usual as I motioned to sit up. I winced at the banging headache that welcomed me back to life. The space I was in was so small that all I could do was sit up. Even as I sat up, my head was almost touching the roof. As my senses slowly came back together, I began to hear muffled voices outside the space I was in. There were men talking and laughing, the sound of a horse snorting, and the creaking sound of a rolling wheel. I was moving. I was in a carriage—on a horse. A regular carriage would maybe be nicer, unlike this one. It had no windows, and the only Just as the realization hit me, the carriage went into a gallop, harsh enough to make me fall back on my side. The carriage came to a sudden stop, jerking violently before slig

    FionaMy breath caught and I felt my chest tighten at the sight in front of me. I wouldn’t have had a problem with the beta making out with the pack doctor, but it was what Rhena had just said that made my stomach churned. My mind reeled back to the not-too-long moment when she had brought the pills. Without thinking much of it, I peeled myself off from the wall, slow enough to not make a sound, but fast enough to get myself back to my room. I needed to vomit those pills before they fully dissolved inside my system. Even though I had no idea what kind of pill she had given me, the way she spoke and laughed with Beta Nox, made me think—it was definitely something not good. My legs moved fast but quiet on the cold marble floor. I shuffled back into my room, my chest tightening as a wave of panic washed over me. My mind spirals with a series of thoughts and questions. Why in the goddess name would Rhena want to take me out?I stumbled into the bathroom, and I could feel my limbs slowl

    Fiona“Are you threatening me now?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. My stomach twisted disgustingly at where this conversation was heading. “No,” he answered, his tone sharp as he began slowly pacing the room, “if anything, I’m trying to help you, Fiona.”“Don’t say my name like it belongs on your tongue,” I snapped, but my voice was controlled in order not to draw any attention from outside. “What’s coming is far more important than your name—far more deadly,” he said while still pacing the room without bothering to take a single glance at me. He moved more confidently than the last time before I had stupidly spilled my secret to him. That was the weapon he was trying to use against me now. I hated the feeling that was beginning to crawl up inside me—a feeling of being under control. I could end it all—his control or whatever idea he was offering. My brother might not be in a good mood with me but I could still put an end to his scrutiny, and maybe his life cost him along the line.

    FionaIt took nothing more than a moment before the footsteps of several warriors could be heard rushing upstairs. My mind began to spin with finding a solution—an excuse, maybe?How was I going to explain to Orion what his personal spy was doing in my room? What will I do when the lone wolf spills the secret about my pregnancy to Orion?My mind was a complete mess as I panicked, not knowing what to do next. And just as I expected, the door bursts open and warriors of different heights and shapes swarm in. All of them looked frantically around the room like their greatest enemy was in here. They passed beside me like I wasn’t even there, checking every corner of the room. That was when I realized. The lone wolf. I whipped around to see that he had vanished from behind me, my eyes darted around the room, checking if he had somehow managed to hide himself away from the eyes of all these warriors. Even though it may seem to be the only logical explanation for his sudden disappearance,

    Fiona“How dare you put a dagger up against me?” I questioned calmly, knowing fully well that he wouldn't hurt me in my brother’s pack. “You know very well what will happen to you if Orion finds a single mark on my skin. I’ll advise you to step back and put the blade down now, or you might regret it.”His chest heaved and fell, his nose flaring as he could barely control his breath under the force of his rage, “I won’t regret it if I got a chance to kill Damascus. You should be the one worried about what I’ll do if you don’t let me have my chance to kill him.” He pressed the dagger even more but it didn't draw any blood. In his voice, I could sense the pain—the hurt like Damascus had taken something valuable from him. The way he fought back tears made me even more sympathetic with him but the blade held against my throat was beginning to somehow trigger my annoyance. I let out a sharp exhale, attempting to steady my breath and calm my nerves. I didn’t want to scream and let Orion f

    FionaHis words didn’t sound like a request. There was hastiness in his tone, showing that he wanted whatever conversation we were about to have to end as quickly as possible. At that moment he no longer looked intimidating like he once did when I first saw him. My heart still leapt with fear of the unexpected present but I masked my face with ease, forcing a confidence that wasn’t there. I didn’t respond to him immediately, instead I took my time to walk deliberately slowly towards the mirror desk. The chair made a small scraping noise as I pulled it backwards. Tension flashed in the lone wolf’s eyes for a second before he quickly replaced it with his stone cold gaze. I sat, and began to slowly take off my earrings, “I haven’t even accepted your request yet, and you're already talking about getting something in return.”He shifted his posture like he was beginning to get uncomfortable. I enjoyed it, the way my confidence made him twitch uncomfortably. I felt a small rush of adrena
