LEAH

The silence between us is louder than the hum of the tires against the road.

I sit by the window, watching trees blur past us. The sun dips behind grey clouds, painting everything in the car, gold and silver. A whole week has passed since that day in the garden when Lucian kissed me and I pushed him, and walked away angrily, leaving him standing.

And not once in that time has he come to see me, not once. He just sends Sasha, or some random servant to pass his messages to me. Goddess knows I'd be lying if I said it doesn't hurt.

I fold my arms tightly, as I glance at him. He's looking out the other window, his jaw set like stone. He’s been like this since we left—silent, unreadable, perfectly composed. So composed it makes me want to scream. He hasn’t looked at me once since we got in the car.

I bite my lip.

Is it because I pushed him away?

I close my eyes, fighting the memory of his lips on mine, the way his hands were desperate to caress my body, the way I also melted into him,

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 50

    LEAHI wake up to a whole lot of heat. Lucian’s arm is basically welded to my waist, his hand spread out like it owns my hip. Which… okay, maybe it does. My body’s still buzzing from last night. My thighs sore in that yep, he ruined me way, and my lips are still swollen from all the kissing. The sheets smell like him, that faint forest scent that’s always clinging to him, to us. He’s lying on his stomach, half the sheet kicked off, bare back. His broad shoulders flex like they have a mind of their own, and yeah, my eyes might have traveled down just to where the sheet starts. Goddess knows I could trace him with my hands for hours, days. Forever, maybe.He catches me staring. Of course he does. His eyes crack open, lazy and sharp all at once. “Enjoying the view huh, little flower?” He says, his voice wrecked from sleep, deeper than usual.I groan into the pillow. “You’re too cocky.”“Hmm. Didn’t sound like that last night.” His mouth quirks. “You were…”“Don’t.” I grab the pillow to

    LUCIAN‘What?” Leah’s question echo in my head. She’s still watching me, waiting.Fuck, I should say it right now. Just rip it out of my chest and hand it to her. You’re the only hybrid to ever exist. Everything that happened with your old pack, the arranged marriage, was a set-up to get you here.But the words stick, lodged in my throat like barbed wire.“Say it,” Fenrir growls in the back of my mind. “She deserves to know.”“I know,” I snap at him.“Then why are you staring at her like an idiot?" He snaps back.Because I’m not ready. The second I tell her, there’s no undoing it. The truth will hit her like a blade in the ribs, and she’ll see me as exactly what I am, a selfish bastard who played the long game to get what he wanted. And right now, I can’t stand the thought of her looking at me like that.So I do the cowardly thing, I pull back.“I…” I force a breath, stepping away from the cliff I was about to throw us both off. “About earlier…”Her brows lift. “Earlier?”“When you w

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 48

    LEAHIt’s strange, really. How someone so ethereal can talk about war and death like she’s describing the weather, like it’s nothing. Her voice is soft, like wind weaving through the trees. But her words aren't, they land like blades. Cutting through any and every thing.She talks about the Council’s fears. About how wolves are too wild, too bloody. How Lycans are too dominant. How the world trembles when creatures like Lucian rise. I try not to bristle, but I eventually do.“Not all wolves are walking catastrophes, you know,” I say, tucking my hands into the sleeves of my robe. “Some of us just want to wake up, train, and maybe not die before breakfast.”A ghost of a smile flickers on her lips. “And yet you chose him.”“Or maybe the moon chose me for him. I wasn’t exactly handed a menu.”That gets a breath of laughter out of her. It's quiet, almost sad. But it’s still a laugh.She studies me, tilting her head. “You’re different.”“Mm. You keep saying that, but I’m starting to think t

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 47

    LEAHOkay, so I might’ve slammed the door a little too hard when I walked out of the suite. But in my defense, Lucian deserved it. He gave me this icy look, and threw accusations like I was some kind of saboteur instead of… I don’t know… his supposed mate? Damn it!The air outside is cool and smells like mint and mountain dust. Or maybe that’s just my anger. I storm past a curved path of moonlit hedges, my arms folded tight, not really knowing where I’m going. I just want to get away from that suite, from him. And his stupid Council and their malicious stares.From Emily-Donna’s “Show us your mark.” I mean… who in the Goddesses name gives their child that name? Vampires really are weird as Lucian said. But then, her question stung. Not because I couldn’t show the mark, but because there was nothing there to show.Imagine, We’re not even marked. I mean, yeah, I know why… sort of. His trauma, his past, Elara. He never said all of that outright, but I’m not dumb. Still... would it have k

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 46

    LUCIANThe door slams behind her, and the silence she leaves behind tastes like rust.I exhale, low and sharp, rubbing a hand over my face.I stare at the space she just occupied, the faint echo of her scent still dawdling in the room. My hands clench at my sides, still tweaking from the fight I started and didn’t know how to finish. My heart still pounds violently, but the heat in my chest is no longer anger, it's regret.“You messed up.” Fenrir’s voice cuts through the fog in my mind, like a low rumble. He's not just annoyed, he's furious. “You snapped at our mate. Over something she didn’t even control. That wasn’t dominance. That was cowardice.”“Shut up,” I mutter aloud, dragging a hand down my face as I pace to the window. I pull the curtain aside, staring out into the moonlit courtyard like she'll magically appear, calm and smiling, telling me I’m being dramatic.I know Fenrir’s right. I fucked up, again. I rub the back of my neck, pacing again. There’s this tightness in my che

  • Mated To The Scarred Alpha   Chapter 45

    LEAHWe don't talk on the way back to the suite. Lucian walks two steps ahead like he's afraid he'll explode if I so much as brush his arm. And me? I'm too emotionally sunburned to try. My heels click on the marble in sync with his boots, and I hate that it sounds like a countdown.Boom.Boom.Boom.When we reach the suite, he opens the door like a soldier, controlled, and precise, no eye contact with me. He doesn't even wait for me to step in first. He just walks straight in, shrugs off his jacket, and tosses it over the chair like it was biting his skin.Cool.I kick off my shoes and start peeling myself out of this goddess-awful gown. It clings to my thighs like a leech. Lucian says nothing as I try taking off the dress, not even a word. The silence is so heavy that I could hear my heart beating in my chest. What the heck?"Wow," I mutter, trying to smile as I unhook the straps of my shoes. "That wasn’t weird at all."Still he says nothing.I clear my throat, maybe he didn't hear
