LEAH

I don't remember falling asleep, but I remember the way Lucian’s voice clung to the walls of my thoughts long after he left.

"You haven’t earned that yet."

I keep replaying it, over and over again, like some lullaby. I don’t even know what I was thanking him for, maybe for staying. For not looking at me like I was a burden. For calling me his in a moment so charged I’m still trembling the next morning.

My body aches like I’ve been trampled by a herd of bison, but there’s something oddly… satisfying about it. It's a different kind of high, painful, but pleasurable.

I try to get up quietly. Every bone in my body protests, but I make it to the small mirror hanging crooked above the dresser. My reflection stares back like a stranger, pale, bruised, hair wild.

I touch my lips slowly tjoughts of last night and Lucian’s scnet flood my senses again. He was close, too close. And the worst part? I didn’t want him to move away. I remember my lips aching for him badly as his breathe touch m

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 20

    LUCIANFor a second, I just stare after calling her name without response. The world feels muffled, like I’ve been shoved underwater. My chest twists as I try to take in the full sight in front of me. Her hair is clinging to her face, sticky with sweat and blood. So much of her blood seeping into the floor, even to my boots, the thick scent grabbing the space between my breaths.Her blood spreads all over my hands as I reach for her. I can barely breathe. I don’t remember shifting. Don’t remember tearing through the courtyard with her cradled against my chest like something fragile, already broken. My boots hit the stone floor of the infirmary hard enough to echo, and still the healers take too long.“Move,” I growl, my voice raw and guttural.Two nurses rush forward, trying to take her from me, but I don’t let go.“Alpha Lucian,” one of the elder medics says, almost like a plea. “Please, you need to release the Luna, so we can work.”My arms lock around her like chains on a drowning

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 19

    LEAHThe wind hits my face like a cold slap the moment I step outside. It's sharp, and clean, biting at my lungs, exactly what I needed to get my mind off him.My body aches from longing as I walk towards the training grounds, each person passing by giving a courtly bow as I walk past them, some even go as far as calling me. Luna? It still feels weird hearing the title being addressed to me. And maybe it would be a lot better if the so-called Alpha made me feel anything like it. He always leaves. And I hate that I still want him, whether he’s here or not. He won't even mark me, and I'm going crazy over him. My skin is still on fire from his touch and my inner thighs are tingling, calling for him.Shit. I’m thinking about him again. I mentally slap myself. I just can't seem to get over the fact that he just walked out like he hadn’t lit a match and dropped it in the middle of my chest. Who does that?I should be angry. Goddess, I want to be. But I can't… not when I can't get over how

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 18

    LUCIANI left her again… fuck! I told myself it was the right thing, big lie. I told myself that if I stayed, I would’ve crossed a line I wasn’t sure she was ready for. But the truth is… it was me that wasn't ready.Goddess knows I want Leah. She drives me nuts every time I set my eyes on her. She has changed my world without even knowing it. Fenrir, my lycan is now always restless whenever we're not close to her, our mate. It kills me each time I'm close to her and her skin is exposed, her neck, where my mark is supposed to be. But I can't… Elara won't let me. As I kissed Leah just a few minutes ago, wanting to devour her body and make her fully mine, memories of Elara, my ex-mate suddenly engulfed my mind.It felt so real that I just couldn't continue with Leah. I could still smell her blood on my hands. I heard her voice as she begged me to stay the night before she died. I remembered my heart shattering right before I got to the pack house where Orion Caster, my former mentor,

    LEAHI wake up to a dim room, my body aching like it doesn't belong to me. I scan the room slowly. The curtains are drawn halfway, letting in just enough light to paint golden lines across the stone floor. My legs feel like noodles under the sheets, a dull ache in my thighs and arms reminding me of yesterday… the sparring, the sleepwalking. And the way Lucian carried me into the room in his arms, and stayed… for a while, at least.My fingers trace the pillow beside me. It's still warm, and still smells like him. I curl closer to it before forcing myself to sit up. I might be falling for him more than I want to admit. And it's more than just the mate bond, I'm genuinely falling in love with Alpha Lucian. The Goddess knows he'll be the death of me.As I sit up, brushing my hair back from my face, I feel something fall from it. I pull the sheets away to take a closer look and I see that it's a single hair strand. I almost toss it in the bin, but then I notice that it's glowing faintly, l

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 16

    LUCIANLeah clings on to me like she’s still caught in the nightmare as I walk to her room carrying her in my arms. She doesn't stir or turn at all, not even when I push open the door to her room.“Was I really sleepwalking?” she whispers into my chest with her tiny voice..“Yes,” I say, brushing her hair back. “Straight for the front gates.”She pulls back slightly, eyes wide. “I thought I was drowning… I saw a woman.”I meet her eyes. “Do you remember anything else?”“She… she called me something. I don’t remember the word. But it felt like I knew her.” She swallows. “I was just a child in the dream. But it felt like more than that, everything was so real.”I nod slowly, adjusting my grip around her. “Come on. Let’s get you warm.”I lower her gently to the mattress, brushing strands of hair away from her flushed face. She doesn't release her fingers that jealousy curled around mine, even when we reach the bed.“You’re not letting go,” I murmur.She blushes. “You didn’t let go first

    LEAHSasha throws a towel at my face. Not gently. "Fists higher, you blink too much when you punch," she says, rolling her eyes.I huff, catching the towel and wiping the sweat from my neck. "Sorry I'm not a born warrior with flawless eyebrows, and resting death face." Her mouth twitches into something that looks like a smile. Or maybe it’s a snarl, it's hard to tell with Sasha. We're alone on the eastern training grounds. Just us, a few dummies with stab wounds, and my aching pride. The morning sun burns hot against my back, and I'm already regretting saying yes to this session. But I also don’t want to be weak anymore. Not when Lucian has decided not to mark me or provide a reasonable reason for not doing so. I just couldn't shake the feeling of rejection off of me, so training felt like the best option. Sasha had given me the day off, but I couldn't take it, I needed a distraction.She circles me again, her long braid swinging behind her wildly. "Do it again. Proper stance this
