Lucas POV

Rain doesn’t just fall. It performs. Each drop lands with its own note. Outside, the bigger ones slap the pavement in hard, flat bursts, like a drummer who doesn’t know when to stop. Smaller drops race down the café window, some fast and clean, others dragging behind, merging, swallowing each other whole before sliding out of sight. The gutter above is offbeat, spitting water in crooked streams, pooling by the curb in circles that ripple, overlap, collapse.

The door swings open, and with it comes a man who shakes himself out in the middle of the café. Drops fly across the tables, scattering like tiny glass beads. They catch the dim light for a second before dying on the wood, leaving dark freckles that spread slow. I watch one slide toward the edge, then fall, a single drop meeting the floor with a soft tick I almost shouldn’t hear, or notice but I do.

Behind me, two students tumble in, their laughter sharp, too sharp. It cuts through the rain like broken glass. They don’t l

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 103

    LucasThis is the strangest breakfast of my life.Not because of the food. The food looks perfect. Too perfect. Everything placed with care, portions exact, plates aligned like someone measured the distance between them. No crumbs. No clatter. No one reaches across the table without asking. Even the sound of cutlery feels muted, like the room itself is listening.It feels cold. Not temperature cold. Something else. Emotional. Like breakfast here is another task on a checklist. Wake up. Dress well. Sit where you are told. Eat. Speak only when appropriate.I take one glance around the table and understand the structure instantly. No one sits randomly. Seats mean something. There is hierarchy in the sitting arrangement. But this hierarchy is nothing like the one we have in the pack. In my pack, meals are chaos in the best way.Someone is always stealing food off someone else’s plate. Someone complains about seasoning. Someone tells a story halfway through chewing and everyone yells at

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 102

    LucasI watch Aurora for a long moment after her breathing falls into that deep, even rhythm that tells me she is really asleep. Not the kind where she might wake if the mattress shifts or the air changes. This is the kind where her body finally lets go.Her lashes rest against her cheeks, casting faint shadows. Her lips part slightly, just enough to soften her whole face. She looks younger like this.I move slowly. Everything about me slows when I peel myself away from her. I ease my arm out from beneath her head, inch by inch, replacing the space with the pillow so she does not feel the loss. She stirs once, a quiet sound leaving her throat, and I freeze. My eyes stay on her face until her breathing smooths again.Only then do I stand.I pull the blanket higher, tucking it around her shoulders, smoothing the fabric like my hands know exactly where to go. My wolf insists on it, a low push in my chest that says warmth matters, safety matters. I listen.I start looking around, letting

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 101

    LucasAurora exhales sharply through her nose. I feel it before I hear it, the way anger moves through her like a flare, fast and hot. The bond carries it straight to me. No filter. No softening. Just raw feeling pressing against my ribs. She does not look at me. Her gaze stays on the wreck of her room like she is recording damage inside her own head.There is one thing I cannot fault this place for. Efficiency. Arthur gives an order and the house responds like a single organism. People move in and out without noise, without questions. Drawers are lifted, clothes folded, hangers aligned. In less than twenty minutes, the room resets itself. When the last person leaves, the door clicks shut and the silence settles. It is just me and Aurora now.I was not planning on staying here. But after what happened today, there is no way I am leaving Aurora alone. I don't trust anyone, not even Arthur. No one gets the benefit of my trust. Not guards. Not family. Not allies who stand too easily in

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 100

    LucasArthur goes into war mode without letting any of the outrage seeping outside him.He stands in the middle of the corridor outside Aurora’s room, posture composed, hands clasped behind his back, expression unreadable to anyone. I know better. The calm is tight. Contained. His anger does not flare outward. It folds inward, sharp and focused, the kind that cuts clean.“Somebody was inside the house,” he says, voice level, eyes fixed on the guards lined up in front of him. “Inside Aurora’s room. And none of you were aware of it.”The guards stand straighter. One of them swallows. Another shifts his weight just a fraction, enough for me to clock nervous energy. Arthur sees it too. He sees everything right now.“Sir,” one of them says, choosing his words carefully, “nobody entered the private part of the house. As per your orders, all guests were contained in the main area.”Arthur turns slowly and points toward the open door behind us. The mess inside Aurora’s room is still visible.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 99

    LucasThe first thing that hits me when I enter Arthur’s office is the smell of smoke. Thick. Bitter. It sits in the room like it belongs here. Arthur takes another pull from his cigar and exhales slowly, eyes never leaving me as I cross the threshold. He looks exactly as he always does when he wants control. Relaxed posture. Sharp attention.The door closes behind me with a quiet finality. No echo. No drama. Just a sound that tells me this conversation is meant to stay contained.Arthur gestures toward the empty chair in front of his desk. I sit, my movements calm, my focus already dissecting the room. The bookshelf behind him. The way his fingers rest near the ashtray. The faint tension in his jaw that suggests he is expecting resistance.“So,” I say, skipping any pretense, “what is going on?”He does not answer right away. He watches me instead, like he is deciding which version of the truth to offer.“Arthur,” I continue, keeping my voice even, “I need to know everything. This is

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 98

    LucasWhen Arthur called me that night, I did not pause to think. My mind knew it was related to Aurora.That is enough to make every other consideration feel small.Jack argued first. He always does when he thinks I am walking into something sharp. Mikhail backed him up, quieter but no less firm. Coming alone was a bad idea. Walking into her family’s territory without support was unnecessary risk. They were not wrong. I knew that even as I ignored them.I could not bring anyone else into this. If something went wrong, it needed to end with me. So I told them I was going alone.When I reached the estate, Arthur met me before I even fully stepped inside. He looked the same as always. Controlled. Composed. But there was something underneath it that night, something restless.He told me he was going to acknowledge my relationship with Aurora in front of everyone.Not ask. Not suggest. State.He did not give details. He did not explain the timing. He just said it needed to happen tonight.
