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

“Elaine, wait,” Lucas called out to his wife. She was in heels, but she moved quickly away from the building. “Come on.” “I’m good, thanks,” she replied briskly. “Are you really believing Ayla in everything she said?” He asked. That stopped the Luna. She spun on her toes, looking at her husband t
Ayla was breathing heavily, like she was some sort of bull trying to suppress its anger in a ring. How was she losing? She’d planned everything perfectly. She had Lucas; she had the Luna position within reach. Instead of things going her way, she felt her skin begin to crawl. “I didn’t want to say
Everyone’s eyes widened in horror as Ayla stomped off the stage. All she’d sacrificed for him, for that pack. How did Lucas not appreciate all she’d been through? “You really think I’d be making this up?” Ayla shouted at Lucas. “How do I have a sonogram with my name on it?” Lucas shrugged. The pac
