To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan 00035: Do You Even Love Me ?
MERIDA The cool night air hit me the moment we stepped out of the Pack House, and for a brief second I welcomed it. My heart was already racing , my palms sweaty as Lukan's hand wrapped around mine guiding me towards the car. We were supposed to be going to dinner—a date—but something didn't feel right. It hadn't felt rice for a while, and the knot in my stomach had only tighten things we left As we reached the parking lot, I stopped walking. I pulled my hand free from his grip. It wasn't a smooth motion—it was jerky, awkward and unplanned. Lukan turned to look at me, surprise me flickering across his face "Merida?"His voice was laced with confusion, maybe even amusement."What's wrong?" I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly dry. This wasn't like me. I didn't speak up. I don't cause scenes. I was supposed to be the quiet one ,the agreeable one, the one who never pushed back But tonight.... Tonight was different .I couldn't keep pretending anymore "I don't want to go,"My voi

His head snapped towards me, surprise flashing across his eyes "What?"I swallowed ,the weight of the question pressing down on me."You ...heard me." I stuttered avoiding his eyes and staring at my feet."Do you love me?Lukan's brow furrowed as if he was confused, like he didn't understand why I was asking this. But I knew he understood. He always did . The problem was , he never answered.He shifted, clearly uncomfortable. "Merida, what are you talking about? Where is this coming from?"I blinked back the tears threatening to fall, I just didn't want to cry."You ignore me most of the time, Lukan . Just like today. You pushed me aside and I ..I got hurt while try to pick up the broken glasses." I motioned to the small cut on my hand." You didn't even apologize you pretended like I wasn't even there. And now you're acting all nice like you did nothing."He glanced down at my hand, his expression unreadable. For a moment, I thought he was going to say something—something meaningful. B

LEMUEL. If I had wanted the evening to go well and smoothly,it was definitely not what I was seeing now. I felt a course of rage drive through me and the bitter taste of distaste and anger made my head spin. I knew Lukan so well but this side of him , of acting up so strange and then so nice as if what happened, it never happened in the first place was really crazy. No apology. No nothing. What was he thinking, waltzing in here like he laid the foundations of the pack house. He could be the Alpha but he really need to stop playing with Merida's feelings She was always struggling with her feelings and all that but what was rude of him, was to keep playing with her emotions just because she couldn't talk back at him and he ,feeling like he had the right to. "We won't be having dinner." He said peeking her on the left cheek and I really wanted to give him a punch. He was supposed to apologize to Merida for what he had done earlier. At least that would be fair and now he had tu

ZAYNA.What the hell was he talking about?I broke out in cold sweat when he mentioned Lukan's name. Who did he think he was ? Sharp guy or what ?I thought that Lemuel had a PhD in minding his own damn business and not that observant but what's happening now ?Was this some new found habit he had cultivated just because of boredom and loneliness.Lemuel was always the last person in the pack house to notice anything or get even the faintest information.Deep inside of me ,I boiled and wanted to explode Darn Merida.Darn everyone including Lemuel and stupid Julietta who couldn't beg her arrogant son to take me back even when he found out that I wasn't his true mate.I do love Lemuel but there's a huge difference between love and the sentence ' my heart beats for you 'That's what I feel for Lukan and now that stupid Merida was standing in my way.I had tried to make it look too simple ,not too obvious that I was still in love with Alpha Lukan but now Lukan had known I bit my lower l

LUKAN. The dinner date with Merida had gone just as expected, even though she didn't seem too happy to go with me but I really didn't mind , it was my way of apologizing though. I knew already that Lemuel was quite angry with me but I wasn't really bothered about what that kid thought of me. Merida was my mate and not his. And the late night arrival, it was just a ploy to know if Zayna would get tired of waiting for me and eventually leave. "Good morning," I said to Merida , who turned to stare at me . She had woken up before me and was staring down the balcony. She didn't say a word just nodded and looked away . It was a Saturday morning and I felt so relaxed , I was supposed to have a little discussion with the investigator today but again, I wasn't feeling like having that conversation. Maybe some other time , I had ask some questions, just giving him ample time to dig further on Merida's case. I was staring at the mirror ,at the stubble that were quietly springing f

LUKAN.I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned to face her. I felt like I had heard the wrong piece of information."If I could remember vividly." I earned my throat ,getting all serious." That your wolf was bound and —" I said immediately as she tried to speak. " Let me finish." She shut her eyes momentarily."If your wolf was bound ,you can't perceive any scent and just any scent most especially mine ." I was looking all serious and I watched as she fought within her to explain what she felt but the right word weren't springing forth."I don't know about that." She said ,her voice laced with sadness and I felt I had reminded her of something that she had tried to forget." I'm just letting you know of what's happening to me."I nodded." Go on." I wasn't interested, I just felt like she needed my attention just as she had done yesterday and I wasn't going to fall for it ,not now ,not today or tomorrow.She exhaled and swallowed hard ." I noticed it yesterday, when the shards of glas

LUKAN.I was thinking Merida might say something else, but her look said it all. She couldn't hold my gaze any longer, pretending she saw nothing. She forced out a smile when Zayna turned to look at her, the fried chicken still in her hands and I was still chewing slowly. "Good morning Merida." Zayna greeted cheerfully as if they have known themselves for years. " Hope you slept well?"Merida gave a small nod , and we could hear feet coming down the stairs, it was Lemuel. He saw Merida and I watched as a smile lit up his face as if he had been dying to see her, the happiness in his face was evident . Like Merida was a lost treasure and he was just over the moon seeing her."Morning, beautiful." He said raising her hand to his lips and at that instant ,my heart clenched.I don't know what I felt that instant. Anger . Bitterness. Jealousy. Or the fact that he had kissed Merida's hand affectionately.But whatever I felt then squeezed my heart and I clenched my fist under the table." H

MERIDABreakfast ended about fifteen minutes ago, Lemuel had gone horse riding with Dean, leaving me bored and alone. There was nobody to speak with , definitely not Zayna and Lukan had left angrily. He was so difficult to understand. I was supposed to get angry at his attitude towards me and not him.As the maids cleared the dinning hall and Zayna spoke to her friends on the phone, I walked upstairs to the bedroom, I could feel Zayna's hateful glance on me but I wasn't bothered about it.It was way better to be alone and have peace than to stick around ,hoping that Zayna would ever to like me.There was no use pushing my buttons or thinking a miracle of some sort would happen because even the Moon Goddess knows that it was far from happening."Hey, Merida." I heard Zayna called behind me. I was almost at the top of the stairs and a huge frown , wide enough for her to see was plastered on my face and I guess she wasn't happy to see it."I want you to come and help the maids clear the

ELIZABETHThe room was filled with flickering shadows as the fire in the hearth cracked. As Merida tried processed everything I had said.Her eyes widened and her face went pale as I sat across from her. This was more than just her past it was the reality that had strapped my soul together for years. "You deserve to know everything Merida. . But its difficult to hear what Im about to tell you." I said my voice trembling a little, as I looked around the room ,at everyone listening to me.Julietta handed her a mug of tea and she nodded while her fingers clenched around it. The tone of as "Your parents Naomi and Nathaniel were the most honorable wolves I ever knew." I said my voice was so sorrowful"The love they had for you and your sister , Nahla was greater than life itself. Bit love was insufficient to shield them from the packs evil. "Merida opened her mouth to speak but she remained silent. "There was a struggle for power ."I added. “Some believed Naomi’s bloodline was too
To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan Chapter 94: The Flashback
ELIZABETH 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌I remembered the night of Lukan and Nahla's bonding ceremony clearly as if it had been burned into my soul. Deep crimson and royal gold colours which stand for strength and unity were used to decorate the grand hall. Music, laughter and the lovely scent of roses in bloom filled the air. In order to witness the ceremony that would bring two influential families together, every member of the pack was present and dressed to the nines. Lukan was a commanding presence in the middle of the room, his dark eyes searching the crowd for Nahla. A silence descended upon the hall as she eventually emerged. Nahla's smile was more brilliant than the chandeliers above and her silvery gown shone like moonlight. It was a hopeful smile that offered joy for the years ahead. My sense of obligation to them as their aunt had always been very strong. I made sure everything went according to plan . Bit something about that evening seemed strange, that I couldn't place my

ELIZABETH I could remember vividly when I was a little girl,our family had long held dinner as a sacred ritual a time to forget about problems and just spend time together. Tonight Julietta insisted reminded me of that.The table was exquisitely arranged with candles illuminating the food spread. Lukan sat next to Merida and they occasionally smiled as though they were trying to reassure one another. Nahla sat beside me, she had a small smile on her lips but her eyes betrayed everything as she kept stealing glances at Lukan.I sighed, we had discussed about this before coming here today, I can't blame her though. She was still in love with him. Always the gracious hostess Julietta clapped her hands together. "All right everyone start eating! Dean dont argue over the mashed potatoes. " In mock indignation Dean gasped. "Just once ,Mother ! Just once and I'm permanently branded. " T

MERIDAThe warmth of Lukan's hand in mine brought back to reality . I looked up into his delicate grey eyes which were filled with so much emotions that mirrored mine. He ran his thumb over my knuckles and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. "Merida I need you to listen to me." He said, his voice was steady and low I nodded for him to go on as I swallowed the lump in my throat. "You're mine Merida." He stated firmly but there was a tenderness in his voice that soothed my jangled nerves. "You will always be my mate regardless of what happens or what you may believe. It won't change anything. " I didn't realize the cracks in my heart were being filled with emotions until his words swept over me. All of my uncertainties, anxieties and confusion seemed to vanish for a moment as the weight of his words struck me. “I…” I tried to say something but

MERIDAI sat in the grand halls, my heart racing as I tried to understand what had just happened . Everything was just too much for me. Questions spiralling in my head . That woman who had suddenly reappeared today of all days on my birthday. My twin sister. Someone I barely remembered. To worsen the situation she was *Lukans first love*. I replayed the scene which happened minutes ago over and over again as my hands balled into fists and my nails digging into my palms. I still remembered Lukan's expression. His face and eyes softening as he gaze at her like one of the wonders of the world. Had he ever looked at me like that ? Is he still in love with her ? Now she was back what will happen to me ? Will he still love me just the same way ?This and many other questions ran through my head as tears threatened to spill.“Merida. . . The sound of his voice jolted me out of my thoughts. His

LUKAN Lemuel's words were still ringing in my ears as I gazed at him. It was unbelievable. I blinked severally maybe it was one of his sick jokes but it wasn't.I turned to Merida."Let’s go." I said in in a more steady voice than I actually felt. We got up from the dining table and made our way to the living room after Merida gave a silent nod. I felt like a something had gone off when I saw what was waiting for us. The room was filled with — Nahla Lemuel wasn't jokingShe was not alone, she was with someone else and she was alive—miraculously impossible alive. The woman stabding next to her recognized me to , I exhaled and looked away.A mixture of emotions made my chest tightened that I didn't know what to feel.My gaze swiftly returned to Nahla as she rushed st me, her arms circling me in a fierce tear bear hug.I closed my eyes allowing the moment to pass. We all thought the past was gone but she was here and happiness surged through me.and the memories of our time toget

MERIDA Despite the thick blankets I had wrapped around myself the cold was still in the room when I woke up and getting into my skin. Even with the heating on, the morning air still had an icy bite to it as winter quickly approached. Instinctively I reached out to feel Lukans warmth but my hand found a cold empty sheet instead. . . My heart skipped a beat. . . Lukan? I yelled softly my voice heavy with sleep.. There was no answer. I sat up massaging my arms to produce heat. There was a spooky silence in the room the kind that made me uneasy. His habit of leaving without saying anything was unusual. Still struggling with the uneasiness that was tearing at my chest I slipped my feet into my slippers and put on a cardigan. As I left our room I had the feeling that the house was empty. The corridors were deserted and the dim winter sunlight streaming in through the windows cast shadows on the floor. Though there were traces of last nights celebrations in the air like the faint scen

MERIDA I stood at the balcony of our room, the sky was without a moon tonight but I wasn't thinking about how beautiful the night was or about Lemuel because it made me feel sad. My mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about something entirely different. In this room, my thoughts and my world were centered around him. Lukan I was thinking about us. But Lukan's calming voice brought me back. "You've been looking out there for some time. What's on your mind?" I looked over and saw him standing by the door, his tie loose and shirt unbuttoned a bit. A wife smile on his thin sensual lips that made me want to kiss him. He appeared like the perfect dream I never thought could come true. There was a way he looked like me. Like I was the most important person in the world. "I was ... thinking about something. About us." I said in a small voice which was barely above a whisper. "I love talking about 'us'," he said, moving closer. "It's what I enjoy the most." I grinned, and h

MERIDAThe waves crashing against the shore was just a beautiful sight to behold. The sun was already going down in the horizon and the orange glow was pretty to watch, but nothing could beat the feeling of Lukan holding me close. That tender feeling of love made my heart soar.We had spent the evening laughing and walking around the beach and at some point he wanted us to dive in and swim but I suck at swimming and i had laughed."I wish we could stay like this forever." I whispered feeling the cool breeze brush past my cheeks as I rested my head on his shoulders."Me too." He agreed with a low, relaxed voice." To stay here for eternity." I smiled when I thought about it. "I feel the same way." Everything stopped for a moment, and it felt like time stood still. The gentle smell of salt and hope for the future was brought by the sea breeze, the waves crashing softly making a second that matched our heartbeat." Time wasn't important in this place. It was only us, the sea, and the
