All Chapters of To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LUKAN I gripped the reins tightly, feeling the power of the horse beneath me as it galloped through the open fields. The wind whipped against my face ,but it wasn't enough to drown the store brewing in my mind. I had come out here to clear my head ,but my thoughts refused to be quiet.The pack . My future. Her.All of it weighed down on like an anchor I couldn't shake off. I was born for this life, trained for it. Yet, right now , everything feels... wrong ."Lukan ."I didn't need to look to know who it was. Lemuel , my cousin. His voice was casual , too casual for the tension in my chest. I slowed my horse down finally, pulling to a stop , as Lemuel approached, his hands in his pocket like this was just another day but it wasn't, not for me"Riding , huh ? didn't think you were the type." he said with a grin , trying to start a small talk. I didn't respond , dismounting instead and feeling the ache in my muscles , as my feet touched the ground . I needed a moment but I didn't see

ZAYNA Shopping with my girls was always an event. We didn't just stroll into a store , pick out an item and leave. No , when Zayna and her friends went shopping, we took over the entire space.The moment we entered the biggest mall in Nightbane pack, I could already feel eyes on us. And I loved it.There where three of us , myself Rina and Sophie. Rina was the quiet , cunning one while Sophie loud and bubbly was the perfect contract. Together we made the kind of trio that no one could look away from. We walked in sync, like a well rehearsed performance . Heads turned as they should and I could feel the admiration and every rolling off the onlookers"So what's on today's list ?"Sophie asked her blonde curls bouncing as she spun around in excitement."Hats,"I said simply, flashing a smile ."I need something dramatic.""I should have guessed,"Rina added with a smirk." You are always so extra ,Zayna."I smiled at a little jab ."Of course, I was extra .Why settle for being ordinary whe

MERIDA. Ever since they had a fight, I haven't seen Lukan but I have seen Lemuel once before getting on his bike and zooming out of the pack house but that was yesterday. As usual I had woken up late. I guess my body is trying to adapt to living here in Nightbane pack. I had a quick bath and when I came downstairs for breakfast I was late again. Julietta lifted an eyebrow when she saw me but said nothing. I knew that she was still angry with me. I made a mental note to explain to her everything that happened at the mating ceremony when breakfast was over. "Where is your husband?"she asked, her tone laced with something I couldn't place my fingers on. It sounded so icy like she was expecting both of us to walk into the dining hall hand in hand ,kissing and laughing . "Morning,mother." Lemuel said walking in at that moment, his hair looked kind of ruffled making him look handsome, I quickly looked away that was not the reason why I was here. "Umm.." I stuttered." He'll

MERIDA I pouted after he left, I was feeling a bit sad and angry. I wish I was able to shift just like every other wolf ,to just do your thing effortlessly without giving it much thought. Apart from Aunt Ophelia who once shifted when she was angry I really haven't seen anyone do that. Lukan's wolf was very beautiful, its brown fur was sprinkled with bits of golden hairs. I wonder what my own wolf will look like when I finally shift. Or if I would ever have my wolf back. The thought of it drove into my heart like a hot knife. If something isn't done quickly I will lose my wolf probably .Forever and just be like a normal human being. As I made my way back to the pack house , I kept wondering if I wasn't a hybrid perhaps that could explain the reason why I never had any connection with my wolf even before it was bound. The sun was almost going down on the horizon and the smell of dinner drifted into my nose making me salivate. I was beginning to feel bored here, maybe

LUKAN The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, and I stepped into the underground parking lot, my eyes on the rows of cars waiting for me. The sleek, powerful machines gleamed under the dull light,each one a testament to my success—extension of my power. Before I could signal to my driver, I heard feet running behind me I knew who it was already without turning around. But I didn't stop walking. "Alpha Lukan ."she greeted ,her voice dripping with that tone she always used when she wanted something."Your mother, Julietta wishes to see you." I didn't bother looking back , didn't give her the satisfaction of a pause."Tell her I'm busy." "But—" "I'm late for a meeting." My voice was cold and dismissive. Without waiting for her response, I got to one of the cars and signaled to my driver. The door to my car opened and I slid into the back seat, already barking orders before the door was fully closed. "Drive. Now." As the car pulled out of the parking lot , th
