All Chapters of The Alpha and the Witch: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucien’s POVI flashed my eyes open seeing nothing but soul-piercing black. No moon, no stars, nothing. I felt no connection to my pack, no connection to Samantha. My inner wolf was whining and I had to yell at him to hush. There were only a few reasons that my connection would be cut off. Either I was dead, they were all dead, or I was somewhere that refused to allow my signal out.The pain in my body let me know I was indeed alive and I refused to believe everyone else was dead. From the rocky terrain I felt under me I imagined I must have fallen down into some pit while I was fighting. I could remember the fight, I remember the Rogue and I jumping at the same time then nothing.Reaching out I felt a thick tar-like substance and instantly knew it was blood. Not just my own, no I could feel fur. The Rogue had not been as lucky as I. I had healed enough to turn back into my human form. There was no life coming from this cage, only my heartbeat. He had not

Lucien's POVRed, it was all I saw, all I felt. When I had walked up and seen Samantha run to Damien I knew I was too late. He had always wanted what was mine. Always tried his best to get what was mine. Well he could have her, all I wanted was my son.I had been locked in this dark room for the better part of a week. Jax brought me food and drink in several times a day but I never spoke to him. Never even looked at him. The rage that had built up inside of me was threatening to burst out and he was not deserving of my wrath.My plates had begun to pile up, all I did was sleep and wake, then sleep again. Water had been the only thing I had given in and drank. I couldn't trust her not to poison me. I should have read through her. My mind had begun to wonder if she was even my mate, perhaps she had known all along she was a witch and had set her eyes on me to...what? I had no clue.Leaning my head back against my pillow I frowned hearing the door open. "Did

Lucien’s POVI sat listening to my dad talk to our pack well aware of all the eyes on me. They were all trying their best to block their thoughts but I was their alpha, I could hear them and they all were wondering if I had lost my mind in my absence. The fact that they questioned me annoyed my inner wolf, he saw it as a betrayal but I saw it for what it really was.Damien sat across the room furthest from me. He was the one mind I couldn’t read. We had practiced so much on each other as children that we could both effectively block all communication with the other if we so chose. Feeling me watch him he looked up and arched his brow at me.My anger toward him had not faded although I now questioned exactly what I saw when I had first made it home. I had listened for any sign that Samantha was calling him or meeting up with him but all came back with nothing. Closing my eyes I sent him a direct message wondering if he had his walls completely up.

Lucien’s POVDamien stood watching me with his arms crossed as I paced back and forth. Funny how the one person I hated most in this world was the one who had pulled me off of our father. The father I had looked up to and trusted my whole life. The one who was even now blocking his mind from me. I felt as if he knew more than what he was telling us, I just couldn’t prove it.“She can’t just have disappeared into thin air,” I shouted at no one in particular. “There has to be a way to track them.”After we had found Samantha’s car on the side of the road and no sign of her my inner wolf had roared back into life. I began to realize that my anger at Samantha had been based on my past transgressions with my brother. I had treated her unfairly, I had been a bastard to her and she had run. She had run from me. It hurt, my soul wounded but I deserved every bit of it. She was my mate, she would have never betrayed me. Sama

Lucien’s POVI stood up front, Damien and Ethan on either side of me only a few steps behind. I had called for a meeting, promising to only bring two others with me but of course, I had others in the tree line waiting. I’m sure the rogue group was doing the same.Hearing movement I looked forward seeing two men walking toward us. The leader was behind them but as the two stopped he made his way forward. I frowned, the man looked familiar although I knew for a fact that I’d never seen him before.“You wanted to talk,” the stranger said, “so talk.”I arched my brow, “nothing to talk about really. You have something that belongs to me and I want it back?”The stranger nodded a smirk appearing on his face, “would you be talking about your mate or your child?”“You know exactly what I’m talking about rogue,” I hissed. “Don’t try and play games with me.
