Lucien's POV

I watched as she walked away,not willing to stop her or hold her back. My pulse raced as I made my way to my office. The sentinels on duty pretended not to be listening or watching and I didn't care.

“New Intel's just came in.” Ryan said as I made my way into the office. “Good, is it useful?” I asked, walking over to my desk.

“Can I tell you something?” Ryan asked and immediately I had a feeling he wanted to talk about Sloane and what just happened.

“No, I'm not in the mood for an

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   The File They Closed

    Sloane's POVHe wouldn't let the physician touch him until she'd finished with me.Four stitches at my hairline. A bruise across my collarbone in the exact shape of a seatbelt I didn't remember putting on. The physician said I was lucky, and Lucien stood at the end of the bed with his shirt torn and blood dried black down one sleeve and said nothing at all.Only when she turned to him did I see him sway."Sit down," I said."I'm fine.""You're bleeding on my floor.""Our floor." But he sat.Three cracked ribs. A gash along his forearm from the window he'd climbed out of. The physician bound his ribs while he stared at the folder on the nightstand like it might get up and leave if he looked away.When she was gone, the room got very quiet.Neither of us had opened it. We'd come home in the back of Vince's car with it lying on the seat between us, and neither of us had touched it. I understood now t

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   What the Brakes Knew

    Sloane's POVI didn't eat breakfast.Hannah took the plate from me at the kitchen door with a smile for Bella's benefit and scraped the eggs into the bin the moment Bella turned her back. The ledger went to Emma, folded inside a laundry bag, bound for the stone behind the east garden wall.The folder I kept. I couldn't explain it, even to myself. I only knew I wasn't letting Lucien's name leave my hands in a laundry bag. It sat flat against my ribs under my jacket all morning, the wax seal pressing into my skin every time I breathed.At noon, Bella found me in the garden."Let's go to the lake," she said. "Just us. We'll visit Mother."My mother. Not hers. Bella had called her your mother for five years, usually with her lip curled, and never once stood at her grave."Why?""Because I nearly lost you last night." Her eyes went wet, right on cue. "I want to start again, Sloane. Please."Every part of me said no.But no one ended the cover. No told Oscar I knew, told Bella I knew, and p

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   What Was Locked Away

    Sloane's POVThe first thing I knew was that I wasn't alone in my own head.Lucien was there. Not his voice, not words, just him, a roar of something hot and furious and terrified pressing against the inside of my ribs like a wolf throwing itself at a locked door. It hurt. It was the only thing that told me I was still alive.The second thing I knew was a hand over my mouth.My eyes flew open. Hannah's face was above me, grey in the half light, one finger pressed to her own lips. Footsteps passed in the hall outside, slow, unhurried, heels on wood. They paused at my door.Hannah didn't breathe. Neither did I.The footsteps moved on.Only when they reached the stairs did she take her hand away. "Don't sit up fast," she whispered. "You'll bring it all back up again, and there's nothing left in you to bring."My throat was raw. My mouth tasted like salt and something bitter underneath it, like burned sugar. There

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   Sister, Dearest

    Sloane's POVI was forced to be small in this house once more. I had been small here for five long years, taught every trick of taking up as little space, voice, and everything a house like this didn't want a girl like me to have, and my body remembered it the second I stepped inside, shoulders curling in, eyes touching the floor before finding anyone's face."The prodigal Luna," Bella said, loud enough to reach the kitchen. "Come to reconcile with your poor forsaken family.""I'm here for Carl.""You're here because your husband sent you." Her eyes darted to my throat, to the mark there, still healing, and something glided across her face so quickly I couldn't name it, gone before I could decide if it was hatred or hunger. "Wearing his mark like a leash and calling it a gift, like it was ever something worth wearing."I gave her the volume. Loud was my cover tonight, and every time she spoke to me in front of the staff, it landed as another brick in the story Lucien needed this house

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   The Morning I Let Her Go

    Lucien's POVI'd never sent anything I loved into Oscar's house before. The last time someone I loved walked through those gates, they never came back, and I had spent twelve years making sure I never felt that kind of waiting again. I had been building walls and contracts and contingencies against just that. And here I was, signing my name to it with my own hand, because there was no other way to save a child worth fighting for.This morning I was about to feel it anyway.I kissed it, the mark at her throat still raw, gentle at first, then not, my hand finding her hip and pulling her back against me like the night had already given me more than I could ask for.She breathed out, "Again?""Once more, before I have to give you to a house I don't trust." I rolled her under me slowly and thoroughly, and I knew the sound she made when I moved inside her; I'd memorized it hours ago. She came apart once, then again, before I let myself follow, and then I held her a long time, both of us act

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   The Voice I Was Never Supposed to Have

    Sloane's POVWolfless Omegas are deaf. This was the one thing about myself that I never had to doubt, the one thing under all the other doubts of my life. No change, no howl, no wolf in my skin. A girl born into a world that's made for creatures she'll never be.I heard her when I was standing in the doorway with my bag packed, eleven days from Carl's surgery and one night from Moonlight.Mate.Not a thought. It wasn't my voice sounding exhausted. Something else, something low and certain, coming from somewhere below thought, the way the pull toward Lucien had come years ago, across a college courtyard, before I knew his name.I dropped my bag."Sloane." Lucien came up behind me before I could have even finished turning and put his hands on my shoulders, steadying me before I even realized I needed to be steadied. "What's wrong?""I heard something. A voice. It said, "I stopped, because saying it out loud made it real, and real was terrifyi

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   Sinful Burning Desires

    Sloane's pov.I gasped when Lucien swept me off the floor, placing me on the bed. He didn't lean away from me and his face was dangerously close that I was forced to gulp.His body was pressed against my naked boobs and his hand reached out to my back. I subconsciously arched away from the bed, let

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   Welcome Home, Munchkin

    Sloane's pov.A knock on Dad's study was all it took. I didn't wait for permission before I twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.Dad was seated on the swivel chair, his hand tapping slowly on the desk. “You really want to do this?” I stopped in front of him and asked.Our eyes locked an
