Chapter 81. Bella POV
Last Updated:
2022-02-28 15:56:02We were woken by a sharp rapping on the door. Lucien sprung off the bed in full protective mode. I sat upright wrapping the blanket around my chest. Lucien stood peering through the spyhole in the door trying to ascertain the knocker. It was quite the sight considering he was still completely naked, I got a fabulous view of the back of him.
The wideness of those broad shoulders tapering down to hips, every inch of the journey a series of muscular bumps and ridges. After his sculpted rear, he widened again to the thickest, juiciest thighs I'd ever seen.
He realised his situation and turned his head back to me. I was busy staring at his thighs he had to cough to prompt me to look back at his face.
"Sorry," I spluttered as he grinned, his eyes crinkling in amusement. The door banging again broke our gaze as he quickly shouted to the closed door.
"Yeah?"
"You are to head to the library immediately, as requested by Alpha Alexander and Luna Helena."

We broke apart as the door opened and both Helena and Alexander walked into the room. Considering two nights ago he was almost dead he was practically skipping now. His cheeks were flush with health and only a small huffing of breath gave away his recovery. Helena beamed at him, lead on his arm she flowed in wearing a long formal gown. No more hiding in the royal suite, she wanted people to see them, recovered and happy. I wondered how she was feeling behind the regal glow. "Well?" Lucien barked, breaking the silence between us. I jumped in surprise at the harsh tone of his voice, he was full of surprises today. Although not touching we stood close together. His arms were folded across his huge barrel chest, perhaps trying to remind Alexander that he had him beaten the last time their paths crossed. Helena gestured for us to sit at one of the large reading tables. A nod at Beta Jackson and the door was closed behind them and presumably guarded him in case

By the time we were back on the road, there was an unspoken tension between the two of us. Leaving Silver City behind we should have been lighter, happier but there was a weight upon us. Like a curtain being drawn between us, my understanding of his character seemed to be decreasing.Lucien had a grey t-shirt on and dark blue pants that finally fit him properly. I was in a black tunic and leggings. I was surprised to be pleased to shed the gowns I had been wearing in the castle, they only served to remind me of a former life that was no longer mine. The rugged, outdoors, hiking in regular clothes was what I wanted now. It sounds pompous but the gilded treasures of Luna life really didn’t appeal anymore. Once more I cursed myself for allowing Bram to convince me they did matter.The sound of gravel crunching under our feet was the only sound for a while. Birds flew above and I wondered how many people found their mates and felt worse about themselves the next day.

There were a few reasons behind summoning Bella and Lucien this morning.Firstly Alexander was conscious, he woke with the sun that morning eager to get back to normal. Amazingly, his wound was completely healed, far beyond anything shifter healing can normally accomplish considering the depth and severity.Secondly, I’ve had another vision. The night before I thought it was just a pleasant dream but it came again last night running exactly the same. I couldn’t wait to tell Alexander about it but I knew he was uneasy with the assassin still being in the castle.Whatever I said couldn’t shake his dislike of him. I wonder if it was because he owed him his life. It is not often an Alpha, king of all around him, must owe his life to a criminal. The fact Lucien was not a member of his pack and therefore paid his no deference annoyed him too.We knew we couldn’t send Bella straight back to prison, not without being completely heartless.

Lucien sullenly disappeared soon after arriving at the cabin, on the pretence of gathering more wood. I didn’t say anything, he was obviously trying to prepare his words. It pained me to see him struggling with his history. His own guilt is holding him back from being true with me. To take my mind away from worry I organised the supplies once more. How familiar this little wooden shack felt now. I knew all the cupboards, the linens and the feel of the bed. The ways of the fireplace and how to balance the poker so it sat just right against the mantlepiece. Little touches that make a place feel homely. Maybe it is the time spent in a cell, nothing is your own then. You are stripped down to the core husk of you as a person and expected to deal with it. Curtains were a luxury, not being blinded by the daw

Hoisting me onto the bed was another completely different Lucien to last night. Instead of the raw animal lust of the mate bond our wolves were not at the forefront. Instead it was us Bella and Lucien laid together.Still clothed we were wrapped up tightly in each others arms on the bed. His fingers stroking gently up and down my spine whilst I stroked his neck.For hours we talked. Our families, home life, favourite things, what we missed. He told me all of Felicias quirks and charms. I told him silly tales of how I met Kyra. We were truly bonding. Stories about first shifting, the random places you would end up after going on a run and getting lost.Gradually his mood lightened and we were soon joking together. The sorrowful look had been replaced by hope that maybe we could help him find peace.

We held hands tightly in silence all the way there. Entwined together like ancient tree branches. There was nothing to say that we hadn't covered last night. It is not a word I use but it was perfect. It made confessing the stains of my life, my savage destruction of my own family feel like it was worth it. Airing out the poison in order to create a clean, fresh start. My mind buzzed with the possibility that perhaps this medicine woman might be the one to finally reconnect me with my family. My mother in particular. I got my greeny eyes from and nothing else. She was a small dark haired woman with a sparkling laugh and a constant need to be in contact. As I told Bella last night you couldn't move in our house, neither me or Felicia without being swept into a cuddle, a squeeze or a hair ruffle by her. I didn't tell Bella that she was exactly the type of

I had imagined every possible scenario for how this meeting would go. I remembered her parents from some of the Full Moon Balls. They were fairly plain but both shared Grace’s pale blue eyes. They had lived in Silver City then, as soon as Grace had been mated to Bram they had been allocated a town house in the centre. Apparently Grace had been a regular visitor to them. I once saw them walking around the market square just outside the castle and felt a wave of guilt. Of course the times she went for these visits were the same times Bram visited me. I often dreamed that Bram encouraged her visits, so desperate to spend time with me, it made me feel special. From my room I could see the castle courtyard and I would watch her head off, blonde hair bouncing and flowing as the crowds gave way for her. It was my prompt to make sure I was ready, knowing any second B

Beta Jackson was sent on his mission before the sun rose this morning. We had found out their location yesterday to be honest but I pleaded with Alexander to give them one more night.“If had been us, possibly separated forever, what harm would it do?” I had said.“Your faith in them still being there is staggering,” he grunted, kissing me and playing with one of my long brown curls as we sat on the bleachers together once more. We were finding ourselves outside of the castle more frequently.Almost as though the castle had become a place with too many associations, too many awful things had happened. Murder, devastation and plots had spoiled it for a while. Being amongst the gardens, watching the defence training taking place whilst taking deep lungful’s of air, that made us happ

FOUR YEARS LATERThe softly lapping river is a constant source of joy. It gives the small family within all they need. Fresh drinking water cleans their clothes and bodies. Little Zena, a black-haired bundle of energy loves creating boats out of anything she can get her hands on, green eyes with a cat-like tilt sparkling as she works.Her little brother Finn is more reserved, he can spend hours laid beside the river, the gentle sounds of the brook helping his imagination wander into the far-off lands of adventure he hears his parents talking about.Their parents were doting and kind. At night they would pack them into their big, shared bed, the duck feather mattresses and pillow cushioning them softly, and tell them tales of daring adventures. How on their motorcycles they had travelled hundreds of miles to the very

The familiar little cottage with the bent chimney soon came into view. My stomach churned but I tried to clamp down on my worries for Lucien. He knew what he was doing, my sending him waves of panic was hardly going to help.We pulled up outside the cottage and he sat for a minute with his head down breathing deeply. Hopping off the bike and taking my helmet off I slowly wandered down the crooked path towards the door. I had last knocked on this door living under Bram’s shadow, Gitte hiding in the wings. Padgett and whatever it was she could do was our best chance at getting some closure on the pain Lucien was suffering.The door slowly opened, and that familiar face reappeared. The chunky, clanging jewellery and grey eyes were the same. Her Wispy auburn hair scattered around her face like a misshapen crown and if anything she had become even plumper. She

Marked. Finally I had everything I ever wanted.Lucien's eyes went to the sky as he struggled to contain his pleasure. The base of his cock had swollen like a plug clamping us together. Every tiny movement rubbed my clit against it.After all the pleasure he had given me the tables were suddenly turned. Now knotted he was the one who could be pleasured no end. His eyes shot to mine as I rocked my hips. I think he thought I'd have nothing left.To be honest three earth shattering orgasms and I should have been out for the count. But that mark, being given that seemed to be a recharge and now all I wanted was to watch that handsome bastard lose it all over again."Bella," he said in a warning voice."What?" I said innocently, c

I had her right where I wanted her. Naked, the firelight bouncing off her immaculate body and all mine. She fully deserved this, all afternoon my cock had been in agony against the saddle of the bike.I'd sped up, swerved, slowed down to let her overtake me trying to think of anything to get her mind off my dick. The past few days have been unreal. It's a strange sensation allowing all this love and adoration to seep into my bones. She was everything, her grey eyes sparkling and laughing as she whizzed by in the sunshine.But right now, here in the moonlight she was all mine. Her quivering, shaking body was already wracked with pressure. Just my fingers probing inside her gave me fireworks, watching her jerk to my command made my dick twitch harder with every gulp of air she swallowed in.My dick didn't need any mor

Our first job was to get back to the gold. I kind of enjoyed having to live rough on the road again. I really am not made for the high end luxury life in a castle it turns out. The days were long but the views were stunning.Long open roads, winding valleys, lakes and the back of Lucien. I blamed the bikes, the vibration and the pebbly path but really, the reason I joyously leapt onto him and showered him with kisses every time we stopped was because I was that attracted to him.Three days staring at his back on the roads meant I knew the outline of his body better than my own. His soft boyish curls of short brown hair that softened his appearance. The wide, humongously muscled shoulders that looked as though they could rip trees from the ground.The very best thing was pulling up alongside him every so often and ca
The Luna's Rejected Assassin Chapter 90 – Bella POV
My eyes fluttered open after a huge splash of water hit my face.A terrifying thought struck me as I spluttered back into consciousness that I was back in the river and that everything between Lucien and I had been a coma dream. Thankfully the first thing I saw, same as back when he first rescued me were those eyes. Kind, full of love and concern and for the first time, brimming with tears.“Lucien, they said I could go,” I whispered, placing my hand on his cheek softly brushing away his tear.He didn’t say a word, just held me closer to him, squeezing me as though I might fly away if he loosened his grip. “Lucien, we can be together,” I whispered again, this time placing a soft kiss upon his cheek.He stroked my hair softly, although
