LUCIAN’S POV: I couldn’t sleep. I looked at Olivia that was tucked safely beneath me, her breathing slow and even. I placed a kiss on her forehead, standing up to the balcony. I needed fresh air. It’s been 4 days since the attack on Olivia, she came home on the second day, she didn’t let me dote over her like a baby, she wanted me to forget about everything that happened. Unfortunately, I couldn’t forget about it. Seeing her on that floor still replayed in my head like a broken record. I still felt guilty that I couldn’t protect my mate. I sighed. Alex woke up on the second day of the whole thing, I immediately went to question him. ***The day Lucian questioned Alex***“Alpha”, Lena called quietly from where I was holding Olivia’s hand, she was sleeping. I gently let her hand rest at her side before standing up to meet Lena. “Alex is awake”, She said. My gaze went down the hall, “Which room is he in?”, I asked, my hand fisting up into a ball as I tried to contain my anger. “T-

OLIVIA’S POV: My eyes slowly opened. For a few seconds, I couldn’t remember where I was. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, the smell of medicine filled my nose, and there was a strange heaviness in my body. Then the pain came, sharp and sudden, making me gasp as my hand instinctively moved toward my stomach. “Easy.”, I turned my head and saw Lena sitting beside me, “You’re at the pack clinic.” Judging by the things attached to me, she wasn’t wrong. I blinked slowly, and then the memories came rushing back. The door. The man. The knife. The blood. I gasped. “Lucian…” My voice was barely audible. “He’s coming,” Lena assured me. I closed my eyes, trying to breathe through the pain. I could feel him through the mate bond. He was close, very close, and I could sense the turmoil in him. Anger, fear, guilt. All of it was tangled together. “I was almost killed”, I said suddenly, my lips wobbly. Lena’s gaze turned sympathetic, “Yes, I know”, she said, her hand covering mine. I m

LUCIAN’S POV: “Where is he?” I asked. My voice was calm. Too calm. Jimmy looked at me for a moment before answering. “I’m not sure, Alpha. He was assigned to the eastern side of the territory earlier today.” “By who?”The whole hall was silent now. “Beta Tyler” My eyes narrowed, Tyler wasn’t here, he was at the patrol ground, making rounds, I didn’t call him because I didn’t think he was needed, but apparently not. “Get me Tyler”, I say to no one in particular. One of the warriors immediately took off. I looked around the meeting ground, watching as everyone remained unusually quiet. Nobody dared speak after seeing the look on my face. My eyes went back to Jimmy. “You said you’ve seen Alex use this handkerchief before?” “Yes, Alpha.” He said I could sense his fear. “How often?” “Almost every day after training. He usually keeps it in his back pocket.” I nodded slowly. “Does he use anything else?” Jimmy thought for a moment before shaking his head. “No. Just that.” I nod

LUCIAN’S POV: My eyes snapped open, Max was whining in my head, he could feel it, I could too; something was terribly wrong. A weight weighed on the mate bond in an uncomfortable way. Olivia! In a swift moment, I slammed her room door open. “Olivia!”, Nothing. I went downstairs, I could smell vanilla in the air and…. blood! My nose flared as I followed the scent, it didn’t take long before I found my mate on the floor, laying down in a pool of her own blood, her beautiful eyes closed. “No,no!”My heart raced as I shakily went to her, carrying her in my arms. I didn’t need to wonder why she did heal herself , the wound was very deep and wide, it only brought me to one question, who did this?As much as I would have liked to keep her away from the outside world and never let her out of my sight, I had to take her to Lena’s, I needed to pull myself together. I immediately applied pressure on the wound, I opened the door, balancing her in my arms, I ran to the pack clinic. I got looks

LUCIAN’S POV: I slowly walked into the house, Olivia wasn’t in sight, I couldn’t be happier. Today was a lot, my memory swirled around Sophia, then finding out that my pack member sold me out to the enemy, then killed himself. I couldn’t stop him, It was a lot to wrap my head around. I knew I had a lot of enemies, I mean, my pack was one of the largest and strongest, there were Alphas who tried to overthrow me, none of them were successful. It makes me wonder who was strong enough to make my pack member strong enough to kill himself? I couldn’t help but wonder if the person was my pack member. “Lucian?”Olivia's timid voice came through the door. I sighed, I didn’t want her to see me like this; so distraught. I also didn’t want to keep my mate standing at the door, so I opened the door.Immediately she saw me, she knew something was wrong, our mate bond was stronger now. Her eyes assessed me, taking me in. She didn’t say anything, she just ventured inside further and hugged me. Hug

LUCIAN’S POV:“We have more wolves for patrol. The time will be rotated, when any of them gets tired, the other will step in”, Benji narrated.I nodded “Okay, that makes sense. Thank you, benji”I was currently in a pack meeting, but I couldn’t wait to get home to my beautiful mate. Sadly, I will be here for a while, pack duties have piled up. I sighed internally. “Alpha?” “Yes, Edgar”.“The omega that’s with you, she’s your mate?”I cleared my throat, I knew what Edgar was trying to do, he was trying to put me on the spot subtly. I could see and feel the wolves eyes on me. “Yes. Olivia is my second chance mate”.There were gasps and murmurs, I started getting mildly irritated, “If you have a question, out with it”, I gritted out. One of the warriors raised his hand, “Alpha, doesn’t this mean you’re betraying your dead mate, Luna Sophia?” Max let out a pained howl, I let out an anger growl. Pushing my chair backwards, I stood up, “What’s your name, chap?”, I grinned wickedly.“S
