LUCIAN

It’s been three days since Theron and I visited Lilith. She’s recovering, but she’s getting there. Seeing her sit up, whispering a few words to Theron, it reminded me what we’re still fighting for. And what I’ve almost lost.

But even with that small relief, my mind hasn’t rested. Every night I sit in my office staring at the maps, the reports, the battle sketches… and the same question keeps circling back, how do I find Kalen?

We were boys when we used to sneak into the east woods, pretending to be warriors. Back then, we had this secret way of talking whenever we were grounded or kept apart. A message code, burned into tree bark. We’d scratch a certain symbol into the base of a tree, the reply would always come in the same spot a day later, carved on the same tree trunk.

It was childish then. But it’s all I’ve got now.

That’s how I end up riding alone to the edge of the Silent Pines at dawn. I dismount, claws out, and carve the old mark into the side of a thick oak, three clea

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 145

    LUCIANBack at the pack, I spend most of the night sketching and erasing the same map on my desk. The ink’s already smudged, my fingers stained black. Every line and route leading to Orion ends the same way, too dangerous, exposed, and too risky.Still, I can’t stop. I trace the river bend where Kalen said the tunnels start, mark the old ruins that lead under the ridge. He said there’s an opening there, where Orion uses to move his supply carts. It’s small enough for one wolf to get through at a time. It’ll have to do.There’s a knock at the door.“Come in,” I call, not looking up.Theron steps in, shoulders squared, face tight like he already knows this won’t be a casual chat. “Heard you came back late last night,” he says. “You met him?”“Yeah,” I answer, setting the map down. “Kalen showed.”He raises a brow. “And?”“And he’s in. Although he’s walking a thin line, he’ll help us get Leah.”Theron crosses his arms. “You’re trusting him again after everything?”“I’m not trusting him,

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 142

    LUCIANMorning light filters through the cracks in the blinds when I finally drag myself out of bed. I didn’t sleep much. My head’s still pounding from everything that happened yesterday, but I know what I have to do.Apologize.I’ve faced wars, monsters, and curses, but nothing feels as hard as saying sorry to Theron. He’s been my brother since we were pups, but we fight like we were born to annoy each other. And still, he’s always there. Always doing his duty, even when I give him every reason not to.I call for a messenger and tell him, “Find Theron. Tell him I want him in my office. Now.”The messenger gives me a quick nod and runs out. I take a deep breath and start pacing. I’m not even sure what I’ll say. A plain apology doesn’t feel right, it’s not how we do things. He’d probably make a joke out of it anyway.When the door opens, Theron walks in like he’s bracing for another fight. His face is hard, his jaw set. He doesn’t even bother greeting me. Just stands there, arms folded

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 141

    LUCIANThe journey back to the pack feels endless. The air is thick with loss and grief.When we finally get there, silence greets us instead of the usual howls or chatter. The half-burnt houses are still a sight for sore eyes. Charred wood and broken glass crunch under my boots as I walk through what used to be a haven. Every few steps, there’s a body. Pack warriors, even elders who should’ve been far away from the frontlines, all dead.Theron walks a few steps behind me, saying nothing. No one dares speak. The few survivors that remain bow their heads, out of heartbreak. I stop near what used to be the schoolhouse. The walls are blackened, and the roof’s half gone. The vague scent of blood and ash makes my throat tighten. “How many?” I ask quietly.One of the scouts answers. “We’re still counting, Alpha. Dozens, maybe more. The safe site was hit first.”My jaw tightens. “The safe site?”The scout nods, his eyes full of guilt. “They came through the forest. We thought the barriers w

    LUCIANI feel something’s wrong the moment the mate bond between Leah and I suddenly goes quiet. It’s like someone ripped the air out of my lungs. One second, I can feel her presence right in the back of my mind, and the next, it’s gone.“Leah,” I yell through the link again, trying to push energy into it. Still, nothing. My chest tightens. I try again. Leah, answer me. Please.Still nothing.I don’t even realize I’m moving until I’m sprinting through the wreckage of the battlefield. The smell of blood and smoke burning my throat, but I don’t care. I follow even the faintest trace of her scent, cutting through the chaos like a ghost.“Alpha!” one of the warriors calls. “The eastern flank is falling…”“Hold it!” I snap without slowing. “Find the Luna. Spread out, search every inch of this field!”They hesitate for a second, then scatter at my command. My heartbeat drowns out everything, the shouts, the clash of steel, even the dying growls in the distance. All I can think about is that
