MasukLucas 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

Harriet insisted on taking the Luna out to lunch on one beautiful sunny day. “Come on, it’ll be nice.” She tried to let her friend down gently. “I know it’ll be nice, but let’s just stay in.” Elaine was exhausted. She hadn’t been sleeping well, as she was in a world of pain. Everything just ached
She stayed away from Lucas for a few days. Elaine was determined to prove to herself that she only wanted to make Lucas’ life easier. The problem was that even after he’d treated her harshly, she couldn’t snuff out that last ember in her heart. It was obvious. The Luna still loved the Alpha. But El
Though she tried everything within her power to avoid him, the Luna understood that she was out of options. After a few days of searching for more information, Elaine essentially ran into a brick wall. There were no more answers. The small amount she’d found wasn’t enough to answer all the question
