LUCIAN

Leah's soft snores pull me awake. She’s curled into me like she was born just to fit there perfectly. Her breath is warm against my bare chest as my hand rests over the curve of her waist.

My eyes run down from her closed eyes to her lips. Yesterday's events replay in my head vividly. I remember the way she whispered into my ear that she was mine, always.

Her night gown is slightly opened, so I get a glimpse of her rounded breast. The sweet taste of her smooth skin runs back to my mouth. I've been with a lot of girls as they've always thrown themselves at me after my ex-mate’s death. But none is like Leah. Goddess, I love her.

A kind of peace settles on my mind for the first time in a while. I don't know what to call it, it's like I'm finally able to breathe. It's been a rough couple of months, and I just want to stay here, with Leah in my arms, and never leave.

She turns slightly, her lips parting as she turns deeper into me, her fingers brushing my ribs. I don't move from my

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 33

    LEAHMy eyes flutter awake as the only presence giving me rest and comfort is suddenly gone. The sheets are still warm.“Where’s he?” I mutter.I reach across the bed, my eyes still fogged from sleep, expecting to feel his chest, and his huge arms. I wanted to feel his hand, waiting to tangle with mine again like it did last night.But there’s nothing. It's just heat, and then… empty space.I sit up, the blanket slipping down my waist. The air’s a little colder, and hollow without him. I actually sensed him standing up, like he kissed me on the forehead before leaving. But I'm not sure.Maybe he went to shower, I tell myself.No. I’d hear it. Lucian isn’t exactly quiet when he moves. He’s heavy-footed, and he stalks. Even when he tries not to be.I slide out of bed slowly, stretching my toes against the cool wooden floor. My skin still tingles from his touch. Damn, I want that man, my mate.I wrap a robe around myself, nothing fancy, just soft and grey. I stare at the closed door, not

    LEAHThe trees thicken as we drive deeper into the forest, winding past branches clawing at the windows like old fingers. I sit beside Lucian in the back of the sleek, black limo, staring out into the blur of green and gray. My thoughts keep circling back to days before. To the way he looked at me, and to the things he finally said about his ex-mate, Elara. What he said about how she broke him, and how he’s scared I’ll do the same.I should feel wounded, insulted, maybe. But I don’t, not really. I know what fear looks like in a man like him who’s used to blood and war, not softness. What he gave me today wasn’t a wound, it was a wound opening. He trusted me enough to let me see what bleeds inside him.And the more I think about it, the more I realize that I’m not afraid of his scars. I want them, all of them. I want him.“Where are we going?” I ask softly, watching his beautiful face. There’s a gentleness in the set of his jaw now. He’s not the same Alpha who ripped through rogues la

    LUCIANThe jeep screeches to a halt just outside the pack house. The tires are still groaning when I push the door open. Dirt clings to my boots, the ugly scent of war still lingering on all of us.Theron steps down beside me, one arm clutching the sealed scroll tightly. Hayes follows him. The others, warriors, scouts, and trackers, cluster behind us, their eyes sunken but sharp, the adrenaline not yet gone.I don't wait for anyone to speak.“Theron,” I bark, not looking back. “Secure the scroll in the vault. Not the eastern wing, move it to the cold chamber. I want runes etched around it by dawn.”He nods once. “Understood.”“Hayes,” I turn to him. “Double border patrol tonight. Rotate the western watch. No one sleeps.”His jaw tightens, but he doesn’t protest. “Consider it done, Alpha.”“And the rest of you, go be with your families. Remember, speak to no one outside this circle. Not until I say otherwise.”They begin to scatter, boots thudding against the floor.Then I hear it. “L

    LUCIAN“This is too quiet” I mutter under my breath, “too damn quiet.” Even with warriors murmuring near fires, with boots crunching leaves in the distance, everything seems awfully quiet to me. It's just too still, like the forest is holding its breath.I sit in the dim flicker of the oil lantern, its scent sharp and metallic. We had flawless victory in the battle, no casualties. But my mind just won't rest. The warriors are all over the camp celebrating before we return to the pack, and I'm supposed to join them too. But I can't, because I know deep down, that this is far from over.I eye the scroll on the table, remembering its haunting content, and the ugly stench of blood that stained it. My knuckles are still split, healing slowly. The screams of the rogues that I killed echo in my head slowly. Or were they already dead? It looked like they were soulless already. Anyway, we won. And I should feel better for that, but I don’t.Leah’s face stuck to my mind like it's glied, it jus

    LEAH"Luna, you're really out here, huh?"Sasha's voice floats toward me before I even step fully onto the training field. She's standing with her arms crossed, and her hip cocked, with a towel slung over her shoulder. Her braid swings as she tilts her head, watching me approach like I’m a baby deer trying to be a lion.I roll my eyes but can't suppress the grin tugging at my mouth. "Don’t start Sasha. I need this.""You need rest," she counters, walking towards me. "You almost died, again. Do you like the medic ward that much? Is it the soft pillows or the bloodletting?"I smirk. "It's the herbs. They smell like moldy strawberries."She huffs a laugh, shaking her head. "You’re impossible.""And you're stalling," I shoot back, stretching my arms slowly, careful not to show how much the movement tugs at my healing muscles. There's still a dull pain in my side, where the arrow hit. But I don't show it, it's nothing. At least, it's not enough to keep me bedridden. Not today.Sasha watche
