تسجيل الدخولJuliette’s point of view.My father trembled as he tried to search for words to say. “We… we’ve already punished them, Alpha.” He started, his voice shaky and weak, like every word cost him great effort. His hands were clasped tightly in front of him, knuckles turning white.“They are still very young and bound to making mistakes. Thankfully they weren’t foolish enough to harm you.” He forced a laugh with the last words, but it came out strained and awkward, echoing hollowly in the silent room. No one laughed with him. The sound died quickly, making the tension even thicker.“I beg of you not to hold it against them,” he added, lowering his head slightly. “They are very sorry. I’m sure they would never repeat the same mistake again. It was a moment of youthful foolishness, nothing more. Children make errors in judgment sometimes. Please, Alpha, show them some understanding.”“Yes…” Katherine was quick to jump in, her voice cracking as fresh tears streamed down her already swollen fa
Lucian’s point of view.“Her brother started hearing the commotion coming from inside and tried to come in. I can’t recall what exactly happened but I think I knocked him out, knocked them inside and dragged myself out of that place.”My eyes felt extremely heavy now. I could hardly keep them open or focus on the expression on Julie’s face. The drugs were still lingering in my system, making everything feel slow and distant. Every word took effort, but I needed her to know the full truth. I didn’t want even a shadow of doubt between us.I can’t tell how long I can keep my body or the drugs coursing through me under control. Fuck… if I could get something else to cut my wrist and let the stupid arousing drug flow out. “I think my wound reopened along the way causing me to lose a lot of blood and pass out where the guards had found me.” I continued, breathing through my mouth not wanting to inhale more of her delicious scent. It would be a shame if I can’t keep myself under control a
Lucian’s point of view.“I can’t exactly recall how it all happened. I was sitting exactly where you had put me.”She chuckled at my words but didn’t interrupt, her fingers gently stroking my hand as she listened.“Then she came over and tried to offer me a drink first, which I refused right away. She kept smiling like it was nothing and pushed the glass closer, saying something about how it would help with the pain from my injury. I told her again I was fine. Then she started getting close… way too close, leaning in and lowering her voice like we were sharing secrets. She complimented my strength, touched my arm, and kept talking about how a powerful alpha like me deserved better attention. Her scent was off, but I didn’t realize how wrong it was until it was too late….” FlashbackThird point of view.Lucian was quietly sitting where his wife had left him, nursing his drink as he tried not to think of how beautiful Juliette looked and how much attention she had been getting. He didn
Juliette’s point of view.On the bed wasn’t my husband but rather my stepsister and her own brother! She was having sex with Richard, her brother. Oh my goodness, she’s having sex with him?The sight hit me like a cold splash of water. For a second, everything froze. Then relief washed over me so strongly that my knees almost buckled. I let out a deep sigh of relief. As long as it’s not my husband, I don’t care who she did it with. Lucian was safe. That was all that mattered right now. “This is disgusting!” someone shouted behind me.“Such immorality!” another voice joined in, full of horror.“It hasn’t even been a month since her mother’s scandal was revealed. Look what her daughter is doing?”“My eyes are forever ruined for witnessing such a disgusting act!” Another yelled. The room erupted with loud noises and gasps. People pushed forward to see better, their faces twisted in shock and revulsion.“Katherine!” My father yelled, his eyes bloodshot. Katherine frowned, not understan
Juliette’s point of view.My whole body trembled at her words as murmuring filled the room everywhere. It felt like my whole world was spinning as I tried replaying her words in my head. Did she say Lucian was in the chamber with Katherine and there was a moaning sound or am I going insane? Rosie reached for me immediately, steadying me to my feet. Her grip tightened in a silent reassurance. I felt like the ground was shifting under me. This couldn’t be happening. Not Lucian. Not my mate. Lucian hates Katherine, he doesn’t even like anyone from my pack because of how they had treated me. Why.. no. “That can’t be possible. The alpha is sleeping with her sister?”“I mean, if she can’t find him. Doesn’t that mean it’s true?”“And she’s a maid, what would she gain from lying”. “Maybe someone had put her to it”. The whispers spread like wildfire around me. Each one stabbed deeper into my chest. My hands shook so badly I had to clench them into fists. Lucian would never do that to me
Juliette’s point of view.Oh no, this is why I didn’t want to leave him out here. My heart was already racing from the moment I noticed he was gone. The fear from his recent injury came rushing back even stronger. I could still see the blood-soaked bed in my mind, the silver dagger, the way he groaned in pain. He was supposed to be resting, not wandering around at some wedding.Why the hell did I even come here in the first place? I should have refused harder when he tried talking me into it. Now look at this!What if someone had attacked him again? What if the wound reopened while I was away talking to my father? We still haven’t found out where the rogue who had stabbed him was from, what if they had taken him?I started stopping each and everyone I saw on my way around to ask but none seemed to have sighted him anywhere.“Have you seen Alpha Lucian?” I asked a group of guests nearby. They shook their heads and looked surprised.They were even asking me if he was here and how they’
Juliette's Point of View"Can you believe she actually thinks she's good enough for him?"The whisper slithered through the air. I kept my eyes forward, fingers locked around my bouquet so tight the stems might snap."She's pretty, I'll give her that. But what else? Her pack is barely surviving. Th
Lucian's Point of ViewBad idea. This was a bad idea.I slid under the covers in nothing but my underwear, and the second I did, she moved.Pressed right into me.Her breasts squished against my arm. Soft. Warm. That flimsy silk nightdress doing absolutely nothing to hide them.My whole body locked
Juliette's Point of ViewHe walked toward me.Each step made my heart pound harder. Thump. Thump. Thump. Like a drum someone was beating inside my chest.Up close, the age difference was obvious. The faint lines at the corners of his eyes. The silver threading through his dark hair. The way he carr
Juliette's Point of ViewZoe grabbed my arm the second we stepped out of the main hall."What the hell was that?"She dragged me down a corridor, away from the noise and the stares and the chaos I'd just created. Her grip was tight enough to bruise."Zoe, calm down—""Calm down?" She spun me around
