LOGINLucas didn’t feel better, even though he knew he should have. Diane was very quick to suspect her stepson, calling him in a frenzy after Rodger went into surgery at the hospital. “I know you did this!” “Diane, how the hell could I have done anything? I didn’t even know Rodger was in town.” “You’
Lucas felt like he could light the whole damn world on fire, and he’d just watch it burn. He was done taking everyone else’s bullshit. He’d remained quiet, reserved, and regal. This rebellion, even if no one saw, was everything he had buried. Kit and Jones got back to Lucas in less than one day. F
“I can’t even believe you’re telling me this.” Harriet’s hands were plastered to her face, wide-eyed as Elaine relayed the conversation she’d had earlier with her husband. “I can hardly believe it myself.” Elaine’s hand instinctively moved to the necklace. “I’ve never seen Lucas take this off, Hare

“I have a doctor coming. I’ll get you checked out, make sure they didn’t do anything else to you.” “No.” She tried to sit up suddenly, surprising Lucas. Her reality wasn’t adding up, but she heard the word doctor and knew she had to do something. Her cancer. Her horrid health. If Lucas knew… He co
Lucas didn’t waste any time. He picked Elaine up and put her in his car. He sped home with her passed out in the seat beside him. He was holding his breath the entire ride. He didn’t know what was wrong, but he knew she needed him. “Kyle,” Lucas called his Beta immediately. “Something’s happened.
